Chapter 219: 193 Night of the Hunt (2) Earth Whale’s Coffin
Chapter 219: 193 Night of the Hunt (2) Earth Whale’s Coffin
Lin An certainly could choose not to devour those spiritual essences contaminated by Dark Witchcraft, he, even now, without an effective method to control the spiritual energy, his sensitive body was more than capable of dodging the splattering spiritual blood.
But Mr. Liu’s root spirituality was so difficult to depict, he needed more and more spiritual reserves for consumption.
And what he needed to pay for this was enduring the intense stinging pain when absorbing, as well as afterwards using the witchcraft tool “Life Gambit Curse Slaughter Scale” left by his former boss Mr. Liu to clear away the obsession on it.
Of course, if he were to condense the Furnace, perhaps this slightly enhanced spiritual energy would be a better fuel?
Anyway, what he needed to do now was to hunt more Dark Sorcerers, protect the organization he had hardly established, and collect spiritual essence.
Lin An had an uncertain hypothesis—perhaps Mr. Liu’s target was not the sibling pair, but the Caidai Witch whom he had personally pursued and tried to kill before.
But why Caidai?
Lin An watched Zhuang, who was quietly entering the hunt, and felt an inexplicable sense that the prey of this hunt might actually be Zhuang himself.
Luring the snake from its hole!
Mr. Liu wanted to kill Zhuang!
He might know about the relationship between Zhuang and the Caidai Witch, or he might know that Professor Cao and Doctor Zhang had already left this city.
Boom!
Suddenly, an explosion came from afar, the second floor of a coffee shop on the street was blasted as if hit by a missile, spewing a large amount of building debris high into the air.
Zhuang was flung far away, his robust arm shook fiercely in midair, swinging a chain that extended to the second floor in a smooth arc.
Twang~
The building entered some high-frequency vibration, collapsing as if demolished, tens of thousands of tons of building debris crushing down in layers, hammering onto the ground and raising a high cloud of dust.
It was at this moment that Lin An realized that a pale crimson hue had begun to permeate the surroundings at some unknown time.
That shade of red was even faint enough to be difficult for people to notice.

Perhaps this was a very unique way of using the Purgatory World.
No longer just wind and sand, but the actual world itself, only after careful observation could one perceive that ordinary people in the real world seemed to have a somewhat stiff appearance to their bodies.
“Purgatory Illusionary Realm!” exclaimed the Caidai Witch standing beside him.
“In the Tree Hole Organization, everyone refers to this semi-activated state of the Purgatory World as the most secretive hunting ground of the Witch-hunting Knights.”
Lin An nodded, ‘Heavenly Eye’ gazing down upon a corner of the city, he had more or less discerned the extent of the Purgatory World’s coverage.
Centered on the five-story building headquarters of the Sorcerer’s Sanctuary, within a one-kilometer radius!
He narrowed his eyes, and continued to move through the shadows of the city, heading towards the second target.
“Land Whale, that’s his codename!”
The Caidai Witch provided some context, “He’s most adept at ‘Coffin-Sealing’ Sorcery.”
Lin An paused for a moment and stopped in his tracks, “Coffin-Sealing?”
The one Chen Xinmi taught him?
Wasn’t it said to be very precious and known by only a few?
Caidai nodded, “It is said that the most original ‘Coffin-Sealing’ Sorcery was intended to conceal one’s shape, but as you know, the mold of witchcraft is just that, a mold. Everyone’s soul power is different.”
“This person’s sorcery cannot conceal his shape; rather, it seals people in coffins, dragging them underground, and digests them rapidly, causing them to rot. Thus, people call him the ‘Land Whale’ beneath the ground.”
Lin An understood, “The actual effect of ‘Coffin-Sealing’ Sorcery is to suppress the body and soul’s activity, thereby simulating the effect of lifeless things. This person obviously used the ability of ‘suppressing the soul’ in his sorcery, to launch an attack on people.”
The Caidai Witch looked amazed, “You know so much.”
Uh.
I just happen to know that’s all.
Lin An shrugged, merely smiling without saying anything.
If it were the young boss, he might say so, but for some reason, in front of his subordinates, he inexplicably felt the burden of being an idol.
Perhaps Chen Xinmi was right, he indeed did quite like to show off.
Lin An quickly felt the terror of ‘Coffin-Sealing’ Sorcery, as they approached the range of that sorcerer, darkness suddenly enveloped him.
All soul energy was compressed in an instant, leaving him unable to muster any emotions. But after a while, the discomfort of loneliness began to sprout within his heart and crept out, spreading over his skin.
Sinking, continually sinking, a heart growing more distressed and powerless, even the resistance to break free from a sense of insecurity in the face of danger became so feeble.
Like when he used the ‘Little Blanket Over, Nobody to Love’ witchcraft tool, this sorcery suppressed the emotions nourished by the Spirit World Aura, not all emotions and thoughts.
In simple terms, some emotions, thoughts, and ideas are merely pondered in the mind and not translated into reality.
Without action, they cannot stir the Spirit World Aura, and similarly do not leave traces that have appeared in the real world.
The collection of traces from these real actions constitutes the True Self Spirituality.
The True Self does not mean the true self in essence, but a collection of traces of real actions. It belongs to the past.
Whereas the primal self, which is bursting with countless thoughts, emotions, and everything else at every moment, is a complete soul. It belongs to the immediate present.
As he was afflicted, Lin An’s primal soul and True Self Spirituality quickly separated, the True Self being completely suppressed, the primal self lacking the past to rely on, passively triggering emotions of emptiness, loneliness, and despair.
Devouring itself, sinking within itself.
This witchcraft is really damn potent!
Lin An exclaimed in surprise, yet he wasn’t very scared.
As his spirituality was completely suppressed, a series of strange hallucinations began to appear.
A middle-aged man, he seemed to have no remaining obsessions, his face full of a gentle smile. This was the spirituality of the Sorcerer Zombie’s passionfruit peel made into a vest armor that Lin An wore, and it had once received help from Lin An. (138)
A young woman of marriageable age lay on her side gracefully, propping herself up on her elbow, supporting her head with her palm, and smiling at Lin An as she showcased her fair skin.
This must be the spirituality of the Sorcerer Zombie from the transformation skin armor; she seemed particularly proud of her skin, which was constantly changing.
From fair to deep blue with scales, then to the texture of porcelain enamel, endlessly changing.
Her voice was very sweet, “Little brother, wrapped around you like this, giving you so many variations and patterns, isn’t it fun?”
“You have to make good use of me, okay? When we become perfectly compatible, perhaps I can stick to your skin completely and turn you into me.”
Is that so?
Lin An smirked, nothing in the Supernatural World was normal.
Of course, if a Witch-hunting Knight who possessed the power of the Furnace were afraid of the spirituality of the transformation skin armor, that would be the biggest joke.
He turned his head again to look at the other five things that seemed more dangerous.
“Hee hee hee~~~” Former boss Mr. Liu rubbed his hands together, looking at Lin An with eagerness, “Kid, you’ve finally appeared in my world! Return everything of mine to me!”
“Ahahaha~~~” The clown-faced one laughed maniacally, his expression twisted as he licked the corner of his mouth, “Return my witchcraft!”
“Return my cat’s eye crystal!” That was Da Susu.
“Return my spirituality!” This was a ‘Lifestyle Connoisseur’ wizard.
“Return my spirituality!” The wizard who had just been killed also cried out bitterly, “I died so inexplicably!”
If this were a fantasy novel, these things would be called Heart Demons.
In wizard’s terms, these are spiritualities that live in others’ minds, a phenomenon resulting from traces intersecting.
So…
The interesting part is here.
With Lin An’s spirituality suppressed, his mind involuntarily feeling isolated and desolate, how could these spiritualities not be suppressed along the way?
It must be the wizard who cast the ‘Coffin-Sealing’ Sorcery who was up to something.
Clearly, this is what’s called ‘assimilation.’
“Trying to play with spiritual level tricks in front of me?”
Lin An looked up and narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth curling up in a faint cold smirk.
A pair of pale giant hands tore through the space, a dark golden fog swirling, and a half-statue of a dark gold color appeared behind Lin An, slowly stretching out its hand, palm cradling a blurry shadow.
That was the ‘Mind Balance Charm’ learned from Mr. Liu; although Lin An hadn’t mastered it yet, some of his ideas and abilities had already laid the foundation for the witchcraft.
The ‘Soul Balancer,’ which Lin An had figured out on his own by studying Professor Cao’s Skinning Knife Skill, (151), affected the relationship ‘between spirituality and the body.’
Insights and ideas from using the Life Gambit Curse Slaughter Scale, a witchcraft magical instrument…
Ponderings on the Life Gambit…
Perhaps this experience of magical combat will also become nourishment for the completion of this witchcraft.
He licked his lips, gently shook his arm, and the coiled red string fell, wriggling on the ground.
“I don’t mind killing you all over again!”
Witchcraft power surged, Lin An, the wizard who was casting spells, and all these spiritualities appeared on different scales’ trays.
At the same time, Lin An observed everything with his Innate Witchcraft ‘Sky-Scanning Eyes.’
Initially, it appeared he had stumbled into some invisible trap, and a whale’s head made of mud leapt from underground, swallowing him whole before sinking back beneath the ground.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Only the Caidai Witch was left panicking on the spot.
He cast Silent Sorcery towards where Lin An disappeared, but it seemed ineffective.
Anxiously, he rushed towards the wizard’s direction.
However, that wizard, originally intending to cast spells at the Caidai Witch, for some reason kept his arm raised, continuing to maintain the ‘Coffin-Sealing’ Sorcery he had been casting on Lin An.
“Damn it!”
He cried out in alarm, “Why can’t I interrupt it?”
As he saw the Caidai Witch getting closer, he signaled with his other hand, and another mud whale’s head leapt from underground, swallowing him whole and dragging him into the depths of the earth.
Ha~
Who says he can’t conceal his form? Right now, he was…
Huh?
The wizard looked puzzled at the sudden appearance of the shadow of a tray beneath his feet, suddenly feeling that his expenditure on the ‘Coffin-Sealing’ Sorcery was accelerating!
