Ashen Dragon-Chapter 218 - 143: Seizing the Body

Chapter 218: Chapter 143: Seizing the Body

Inside the snow house illusion, the girl was still tidying up the room.

She carefully picked up the broken teacup on the floor, muttering softly, “These guests are so rude, breaking the cup and then leaving, giving me a huge mess to clean up.”

The fire in the fireplace remained warm.

But this was just the beautified result of the illusory realm; the real scene was terrifying. A writhing monster was extending its ghastly limbs, picking up the shattered bone fragments and placing them in the corner of the wall.

Valena sat on a wooden chair, flipping through a yellowing book with utter boredom.

Resting her chin in her hand, the girl couldn’t help but complain softly, “When can I finally leave, Daddy? You promised me.”

She had been here so long that she couldn’t even remember how long it had been.

In the remnants of her memory, after being rescued from the secret chamber, she was brought to this wooden house, living a monotonous life day after day, year after year.

The books said that when a person lives for many years, they will gradually age.

But the girl found that her appearance seemed forever frozen at eighteen, without even the slightest change.

And Valena also felt that her memory was incomplete. She had always been suspicious but didn’t dare to think deeply.

It was as if an invisible shackle bound her thoughts, preventing her from pondering those things.

Some things…

Since she couldn’t figure them out, it was better not to think about them.

Continuing to entertain guests in the snow house and listening to their stories every day, was like indirectly experiencing the outside world.

That’s what Valena always told herself.

Suddenly, a raspy and all too familiar male voice interrupted her musings.

“Valena, my dear little girl, look who has come back?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Valena’s actions stopped immediately. She turned around in disbelief.

“Ah, Daddy!”

“You really came back!”

The girl leaped up from the wooden chair, eagerly throwing herself into the man’s arms, her big, watery eyes even glistening with tears.

Vagnard gently stroked Valena’s head, lowering his voice as he softly said, “Yes, Daddy finished the matters outside and rushed back to see you.”

Valena, as if afraid the man would escape, tightly hugged him.

Tears streamed down her cheeks as she said in a low voice, “Daddy, you lied to me. You haven’t been back for a long time. You told me to treat the guests well, but they all bully me, hate me, and even insult me. They don’t want to play with me.”

The girl looked up, choking back sobs as she asked, “They all say that I am… a monster.”

“Daddy, am I really a monster?”

Vagnard kept the gentle smile on his face, shaking his head as he said, “No, you are not a monster. You are the most precious treasure I hold in my lap, nobler than any of them.”

“But, but…”

He reached out to wipe the tears from Valena’s eyes.

“Valena, remember, you will always be my daughter.”

“Don’t think about those sad things. Do you know why I came back this time?”

Valena confusedly shook her head.

Vagnard took the girl’s slender hand, bending down and whispering in her ear:

“I’m here to fulfill my promise, to take you to see the outside world. Daddy is never a liar.”

Valena was instantly overjoyed.

She had never thought that this man, so cold in her memories, this father who had cruelly abandoned her here for who knew how many years, would say such things.

The girl smiled with satisfaction, wiping away the remaining tears on her face, and nodded vigorously.

“Yes.”

The man took the girl’s hand, leading her to push open the door of the illusory realm—

The remnants of Valena’s consciousness only felt a blinding light flash by, making her involuntarily close her eyes.

“So bright, is this the outside world?”

“It seems… a bit different from what I imagined.”

There was no so-called new world, still the dark and deep Demon Tower, cold metal cages.

The twisted monster stitched together from different body parts struggled constantly, flesh writhing on its body, its sparsely-scaled skin rising bizarrely as if something was trying to break out.

In the end, Vagnard’s human form emerged from the stitcher beast, his skin smooth and white like a newborn, yet faintly showing traces of scales.

His waist was still connected by flesh to the stitched together body, replacing the faceless girl who had once been there, becoming part of this horrific monster.

And also the final controller of this monster’s chaotic consciousness.

Yet from the depths of that ghastly mass of flesh came a faint, desperate, choking female voice.

“Daddy, you lied to me…”

“You lied to me again…”

The voice grew weaker, finally disappearing completely, drowned in the sticky friction of blood and flesh.

“Valena…”

A tear fell from Vagnard’s eye.

But his expression was filled with overwhelming ecstasy, his mouth almost splitting to his ears, already sinking into complete madness, this body attached to the stitcher beast trembling constantly.

“I, I once told you, I will never fail again… Daddy, Daddy did it all for you.”

“I will bring you—together we will complete this evolution! We will become greater than the Dragon God!”

“Hahaha!”

…

At the other end of the tower, the Red Dragon’s fringed ears twitched slightly.

Due to the sharp senses of giant dragons, Vagnard’s crazed laughter also reached his ears.

“Ha, so it’s the so-called snow house, it’s already too late.”

“He seized Valena’s body.”

Valena’s snow house had no definite location, connected by a portal to another space. Even Cassius couldn’t find its exact position, only waiting for Vagnard to reveal himself.

Ramp felt the increasingly eerie aura within the tower, speaking in a grave tone, “Master, should we follow?”

“No, if I’m not mistaken, he’s probably heading to the top floor of the tower.”

Heaven’s Calamity Dragon Eye had already vanished after releasing its breath.

Cassius closed his eyes, relying on the vast power of the surge of spells to create another seventh-tier spell slot.

When he opened his eyes again, those golden pupils were already gleaming with astonishing spell radiance. Immediately, an invisible dragon’s eye appeared, floating beside him.

[Heaven’s Calamity Dragon Eye]

He used the ability of [Foresight].

Those profound dragon’s eyes broke through the constraints of time, directly seeing future visions.

At the topmost floor of the tower, the twisted stitcher beast was writhing, approaching the trapped White Dragon.

The White Dragon seemed to see something extremely terrifying, letting out an agitated, fearful growl, trembling all over. Its massive body struggled with all its might, but unfortunately, it was ensnared by the unyielding magic chains. All struggles were futile, unable to move at all.

Cassius’s expression grew grim.

“Vagnard wants to devour that White Dragon. We must stop him.”
