94: Chapter 94 The Last Fisherman? No, he's my "Power Bank"!
Chapter Ninety-Four: The Final Fisherman? No, It's My "Power Bank"!
Gazing at that youth, who seemed to have stepped out of a classical drama, filled with an aura of elegance and mystery, my heart surged with a sense of crisis even more intense than when facing the "Desolate Ruins Monarch"!
This person gives me a feeling of unfathomable depth!
It's as if... a seemingly calm sea that actually conceals endless undercurrents and whirlpools!
"Who... are you?"
Lin Qingzhi, struggling to hold herself up, shielded me behind her. Her cool, phoenix eyes were filled with vigilance.
"Us?" Upon hearing this, the youth elegantly removed the top hat from his head and performed a flawless, impeccable aristocratic bow towards us.
"You may call me... 'the Magician'." He smiled, his deep, obsidian-like eyes examining us with keen interest. "As for where I come from... well, that remains a secret for now."
"However, that's not important." He shifted the topic, his gaze falling upon the incredibly dense and pure "energy storm" composed of countless soul fragments and heaven-earth spiritual energy, formed by the annihilation of the "Desolate Ruins Monarch".
A flicker of undisguised... greed flashed in his eyes.
"What's important is that you two have prepared such a sumptuous... 'feast' for us."
"As a token of gratitude, I have decided to grant you both... a dignified exit."
With that, he slowly raised the cane adorned with a ruby in his hand.
"Now then, the final magic performance begins."
"Act One, titled..."
"...【Canned Space】."
He gently tapped his cane towards the area where we stood.
"Hum—!"
The space around us violently shuddered!
Immediately after, invisible, transparent barriers composed of pure Space Law rose from all directions, instantly sealing us two, along with the entire vast "energy storm", completely!
He intends to pack us and the spoils together and take us away!
"It's useless." The Magician watched our futile struggles, the amusement on his face deepening. "Within my 【Spatial Cage】, unless you possess the power to... shatter laws, not even a true King Rank powerhouse can hope to escape."
Lin Qingzhi's and my hearts sank to the very bottom.
Law Power!
This person... is actually a terrifying existence capable of truly controlling "laws"!
This has completely surpassed our... scope of understanding!
"Well then, the appetizer is plated."
After completely trapping us, the Magician paid us no further mind, seemingly certain of his victory.
He turned around and elegantly snapped his fingers towards the four attendants behind him.
"Gentlemen, retrieve the Monarch's heart core. That is the primary objective of our journey."
"Yes, Master."
The four attendants in black prepared to act.
However, at this very moment!
From the depths of my nearly dissipated soul, a series of system notification sounds exploded like a final lifeline!
[Ding! Warning! The Host and the bond target's vital signs are rapidly declining!]
[Ding! Detected that the Host and the bond target are facing an irresistible, lethal crisis!]
[Ding! Detected that both parties possess a strong, shared desire for survival!]
[Ding! The final bond protocol—【Life and Death Together】—has met the trigger conditions!]
[Ding! Symbiotic Bond has reached 99%, final breakthrough in progress...]
[Ding! 100%!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You and bond target Lin Qingzhi have achieved 100% 【Life-and-Death Bond】!]
[Ding! Ultimate bond skill—【Soul Fusion】—unlocked!]
[Soul Fusion]: With mutual consent, you can temporarily and perfectly... fuse your souls! After fusion, you will share all of each other's power, memories, and... senses! You will become a new, unprecedented... "Perfect Life"!
Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately shared this information with the Girl in White Robes, who was also struggling in agony!
"Lin Qingzhi! Are you willing... to become one with me?!"
Lin Qingzhi's phoenix eyes, which had begun to lose focus, suddenly regained a glimmer of... light the instant she received this information!
She looked at me, the corner of her pale, blood-stained lips slowly curving into a breathtaking, nation-toppling... arc.
"I... am willing."
The next second, our souls, having broken free from the shackles of our physical bodies, transformed into two streams of light that collided fiercely in mid-air!
Boom—!!!
