Chapter 1326: Narrow Escape

The colorful and glamorous magic storms erupted from the narrow channels like springs. Whatever was hit by the springs, be it the hard stone wall or the magic crystals that were exposed to the air, fell apart into pieces. After the magic crystals were shattered, the stable mana inside them would turn violent. Then, it would be added to the chaotic magic storms as additional power.

In less than two seconds, the entire cavern had been filled up by the chaotic magic storms. The experts of the Thorny Crown unfolded their shields, but their shields were all quickly declining like thawing ice.

Myers’ crystal eyes glittered. He unfolded a crystal shield, and soon found a place to hide.

“Everybody, hide in that corner. George, quickly. Control the rocks and let us in.”

Myers unfolded a crystal shield, which immediately transformed into a channel. Everybody passed through the channel in half a second, arriving in a corner that wouldn’t be hit by any of the magic springs. This corner was the farthest from every place that was hit by the magic springs. Also, it was least vulnerable to the rolling magic storms inside the cavern.

Myers had keenly discovered the corner, and led everybody to it without hesitation. George activated his bloodline power, and let the stone wall collapse. A green membrane of light appeared where the stone wall used to be, and everybody hid behind the membrane. However, the magic storms outside were getting more and more powerful—all the magic crystals exposed to the air had been shattered, which strengthened the storms.

In only five seconds, George had already turned pale. In another two seconds, his face turned so red that it was almost bleeding. The smell of blood was spreading out as George was having a nosebleed. Even his veins became obvious on his skin. Inside his veins, a lot of clumps were wriggling. George’s face became redder and redder, and he looked more and more powerful. However, there was greater and greater chaos in his power too.

“Dolores!” Myers roared. Then, another bloodline transplanter walked to the green membrane of light and extended her hands, releasing a curtain of water that was stuck to the green membrane.

Immediately, George lost control of the green membrane of light. His bleeding face was gradually back to normal. Then, it became pale again. In only a few seconds, he had already used all of his strength. He had to boil his blood in order to gain greater power. However, the power was too great for him to control. His body would’ve exploded if he hadn’t been interrupted.

George breathed heavily on the ground. He used his remaining strength to expand this pit and narrow its entrance so that he could buy more time for others. After all, his ability was about controlling rocks, and he was better at disguise than protection. If he narrowed the entrance of the cave, it would be easier for others to provide protection.

Outside the pit, the chaotic magic storms were continuing. The terrifying magic storms spread to other channels after they filled up this enormous cavern. However, even though they were moving away, the lingering magic storms were still dreadful.

In only one minute, the Heaven Rank expert who took over the defense was unable to continue. Sheldon stepped up to the entrance of the pit, which had been narrowed to two meters in width. The black smoke on his skin turned into dark hideous demon skulls that established a wall and blocked the entrance, resisting the magic storms.

Three minutes later, Sheldon couldn’t carry on, either, and had to ask for a replacement.

Half an hour later, everybody was unable to continue. They were never good at such pure clashes of magic power, which were more likely to make their bloodlines unstable than normal battles.

Everybody else had to take a rest except Myers, who was the last one. Myers solemnly walked forward, ready to take over the defense.

Although the magic storms had already been weakened, they were continuing. If even Myers couldn’t carry on any longer, and the magic storms remained as powerful, everybody would die here.

Looking at the magic storms that looked like colorful streaks of light outside of the pit, Myers wore a complicated expression. He silently reached the edge of the pit, and stuck his hand to the wall. Immediately, crystals spread out of Myers’ hand and formed a wall, blocking the entrance of the pit. The last bloodline transplanter, who couldn’t hold on any longer, fell on the ground, and breathed heavily with a trembling arm.

Myers was the strongest of them, and also their last hope…

The wall of crystals stood at the entrance of the pit. The destructive magic storms continuously surged towards the wall. When the seemingly gentle streaks of light brushed the surface of the crystals, the thickness of the crystals would be reduced by one-fourth. Then, Myers would have to release more crystals, and continue this war of attrition.

20 minutes later, Myers became pale, and his crystal eyes could no longer glitter in a fixed pattern. A lot of his mana had been exhausted. Even though he had much more mana than others in storage as a level-5 Heaven Rank expert, this war of attrition depended on the power of his bloodline, which was a burden for those mages who hadn’t transplanted their bloodlines perfectly.

If things went on like this, his bloodline would be unstable. Then, he would be no different from anyone else. He still had more mana, but his blood would be boiling.

The magic storms outside had dwindled a lot, but not to the point where other people could resist them yet. There was desperation in Myers’ eyes. He was struggling to continue, but his companions couldn’t hold back their desperation anymore.

“We’re going to die here. The monster that Mafa Merlin mentioned must’ve been woken up…” a bloodline transplanter mumbled in desperation. The others simply stared at Myers, who was still struggling in silence.

“When the terrifying magic storms arose, I detected the power of hell in them that belonged to Sunny. That b*tch must’ve summoned the devil lord. If she hadn’t, the terrifying monster that Mafa Merlin mentioned wouldn’t have been woken up…”

“That wretched b*tch must be already dead. Yet, the rest of us have to die with her…”

“Mafa Merlin is probably dead too. He must’ve traveled further than we did, and was closer to the origin of the magic storms. It must be Sunny’s doing. She didn’t believe what Mafa Merlin said, and invoked great power in the underground world…”

Immediately, everybody began to curse Sunny, venting their fury on her. Unfortunately, everybody was certain that Sunny had already been killed. It was impossible for her to have survived the storms on her own.

The magic storms were launched with pure mana, and were even more terrifying than most spells. Whatever boasted such an extraordinary amount of mana was at least a level-49 beast, and a rather powerful one.

Everybody cursed Sunny to ease their fear of death. Myers silently stared at the outside of the crystal wall, which had been reduced to half a meter of thickness from one meter. In every second, half a meter of crystals was corrupted by the magic storms. Myers had to refill exactly the same width of crystals every second to ensure that the crystal wall didn’t collapse.

His blood was changing and boiling, and his eyes were cramping beyond his control. The excruciating pain from his eyes was escalating. Myers couldn’t help but feel desperate…

Screwed. I’m completely screwed. There isn’t enough time. My eyes are painful. They don’t fit my body anymore. My blood is boiling. In 10 minutes at most, my bloodline will collapse, and I won’t be able to continue resisting. Even if the others have been more or less recovered, they can only resist for another three minutes at most.

The terrifying magic storms outside are weakening continuously. Judging from the trend, it wouldn’t be weak enough for them to resist until 20 minutes pass. However, in only three minutes, everybody will be torn apart by the magic storms. Even I will be unable to continue.

What kind of terrifying being was sleeping underground? The mana that it unleashes is already so powerful. Has it already advanced to level 50? Normal level-49 beasts couldn’t have possibly influenced such a huge range with pure mana.

Did Mafa Merlin survive this powerful blast? His understanding of this plane is deeper than anyone else’s. He must’ve made preparations for such a situation, right? However, nobody could’ve survived the storms.

No, Mafa Merlin is definitely alive. He definitely is. However, how did Mafa Merlin do it? How exactly did he survive the disaster?

Myers became absentminded, and suddenly thought of Lin Yun. However, excruciating pain disrupted his thinking. The crystal eye in his left eye socket cramped more frequently, and blood was flowing out. It seemed that the skin around his eye socket had been torn apart.

Agony flashed on Myers’ face. He held his left eye with one hand, attempting to contain the boiling blood and the eye that was almost popping out.

However, a few seconds later, Myers’ left hand, which was holding the eye, had been drenched in blood. The agony was even starting to pierce his head and his soul…

Gritting his teeth, Myers covered his left hand with crystals that were in the shape of a spoon. He then gouged his left eye out. The eyeball didn’t look like a human eye at all, but rather a pure spherical crystal. Blood was dripping from it, making it look like a piece of warm glistening glass.

After gouging his left eye out, Myers suddenly felt that his boiling blood was eased a little bit, and he was no longer as uncomfortable as before.

It had been years since Myers had a fierce fight. He had never experienced such a serious bloodline incompatibility emergency, either. He had no idea that the incompatibility would be weakened if he gouged one of his crystal eyes out…

Holding the crystal eye, Myers was stunned. He remembered what Lin Yun said earlier that he didn’t pay much attention to back then…

Damn it, how could I have forgotten that? Mafa Merlin has done profound research on bloodline transplantation. What he said at the beginning couldn’t have been random. He meant it…

How did I forget that? Are the two crystal eyes a failed transplantation for me? Is what Mafa Merlin said true? Is it more suitable for me to have one eye?

However, we had never met before, and he never studied my eyes. How did he know that this was for the best? Was it not a speculation, or just a random remark?

Holding the crystal eye in his hand, Myers felt that his head was a mess. His bloodline was stabler than before, and it was easier for him to sustain the crystal wall. However, he was still unable to hold long enough.

Two minutes later, Myers gritted his teeth with a complicated expression, and aimed the spoon-shaped crystal at his right eye, gouging out the crystal eye that he had transplanted in his right eye socket.

Immediately, there were only two bloody holes left where Myers’ eyes used to be. The two crystal eyes floated in front of him, and glittered in the same rhythm. It seemed that they were deeply connected.

For a Heaven Rank expert, they never saw things with just their eyes. They trusted their magic power even more. As a level-5 Heaven Rank expert, Myers wouldn’t be blind even without the eyes.

Feeling the echo of the two crystal eyes, Myers wore a complicated expression, and gouged out the second crystal eye completely. His bloodline power was weakened, but its stability was improved.

After a few minutes of silence, Myers gritted his teeth, and summoned mana on his hand, enshrouding both of the crystal eyes. He pushed the two crystal eyes to collide with the power of magic and blood. They didn’t crack or have any unexpected changes.

The two crystal eyes were completely melted into each other. He didn’t even need to do anything. He only needed to provide the power of mana and blood, and the two crystal eyes melted on their own.

It was surprisingly easy. In only half a minute, the two crystal eyes were gone, replaced by an eyeball that seemed very lifelike.

The eyeball still looked like crystal, but there were whites and a hexagonal pupil in it. It seemed much stabler than before too.

Looking at the new crystal eye, Myers eventually put it in his right eye socket, with his expression constantly changing.

Immediately, the power of bloodline penetrated through the eyeball, and circulated in Myers’ body. His unstable bloodline was immediately soothed. The hexagonal pupil on his eyeball was revolving slowly. Myers instinctively learned how to control his bloodline power, and how to combine his mana with it.

In only three seconds, Myers’ boiling blood was stabilized. Compared to a moment earlier, he was almost fully recovered. It would be no problem at all for him to endure another half an hour. He wouldn’t feel any discomfort…

He had lost an eye, but the things he saw with his new eye were even vivider than before. Furthermore, he could see the flow of mana and air clearly. The whole world seemed to have turned from monochrome to colorful…

Myers stood stunned for half an hour, until the raging magic storms outside could be resisted easily. However, he was too stunned to stop maintaining the crystal wall…

“Sir Myers, the magic storms have weakened a lot…”

Myers heard a voice, and finally woke up. His arm shivered, and the crystal wall crumbled into pieces. The winds that blew at everybody were no longer as powerful as before, and were just normal winds. Everybody here could resist them easily as long as they used some of their mana…

Myers ignored everybody else, and gathered a crystal mirror in front of himself. Looking at the reflection in the mirror and his hexagonal pupil, Myers felt that his hand was shaking.

“It’s truly as simple as that. I only need one…. I only need one eye…” Myers mumbled as if he were crazy. He found it quite hard to accept, even though the result was quite great. In the crisis, he had simply wanted to try his luck, but the result was better than he could possibly imagine.
