American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 299: Divine Might?

Xu Yi silently prepared himself for danger, glancing around him. He waited for a full minute, but nothing happened.

Was he being overly suspicious?

Perhaps the old man was just tired of Huaxia’s traditional culture and wanted to try some foreign stuff, to cultivate his sentiments for a balanced harmony of yin and yang?

Just then, Harada Mieko walked by with a cup of coffee in hand through the corridor.

"I’ll just take it myself!" Xu Yi said softly.

Whenever he stayed up late these days, Harada Mieko would bring him coffee.

Harada Mieko completely ignored Xu Yi and walked past him without stopping.

Xu Yi scratched his nose, feeling a bit awkward. Perhaps he had been presumptuous; the coffee might not have been for him after all.

But then his brow furrowed suddenly. No, something was amiss. The cup holding the coffee, distinctly noticeable with its macho pink ceramic design, was clearly his.

And with Harada Mieko’s high emotional intelligence, she wouldn’t ignore him. Even if the coffee wasn’t for him, she would have passed it to him with a smile.

Xu Yi reached out to stop Harada Mieko, but his hand passed right through her body.

As expected!

He suddenly realized it was a Different Space.

In Harada Mieko’s field of vision, he didn’t exist at all.

No wonder the girl had died soundlessly; back then, she must have been pulled into a Different Space.

The reason Xu Yi could still see others was that he had heard that piece of music while Harada Mieko had not.

"To enter the Eight Monster House without a trace and pull me into a Different Space without warning, that being must be no ordinary creature," he took a deep breath.

In an instant, his vision blurred, and the next second, a little girl abruptly appeared in front of him, her back to him.

The little girl looked to be around eleven or twelve, wearing a beautifully crafted ballet dress. The bottom part was white tulle, while the upper part was adorned with pale gold lace. The girl was standing on tiptoes, seeming light and elegant.

Instinctively, Xu Yi reached toward his waist and pulled out the box containing the Seven Deadly Sins.

Inside the box, "Envy" from the Sin Remains trembled slightly.

The Origin of "Envy" had been found!

Xu Yi hadn’t expected that the search for the Source of Sin would be so smooth, and of course, he had the Ring of Destruction to thank for that.

The little ballerina continued to have her back to him, and from behind, she appeared to be a cute and pretty girl.

The ballet-dancing little girl began to turn around slowly…

Xu Yi was actually quite curious about the girl’s appearance, but given that she had the ability to pull him into a Different Space silently, he couldn’t be too cautious.

After a moment of hesitation, he decided to stick to the "strategy."

"I am Carrie’s good friend," he said quietly.

The ballet-dancing little girl was clearly the legendary Sugar Plum Fairy. The Sugar Plum Fairy paused slightly at Xu Yi’s words and stopped moving.

It actually worked!

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment. He had simply acted on the principle of "it doesn’t hurt to try," as speaking a few words didn’t cost much effort.

But the next second, the Sugar Plum Fairy still turned around slowly.

Xu Yi got a clear view of her face. His pupils contracted sharply. The girl’s face lacked eyes, nose, and other facial features, sporting only mouths.

The mouths were circular, and not just one; they were stacked on top of each other, ring within ring, full of sharp teeth resembling the mouth of a lamprey.

A low murmuring reached his ears, and the darkness behind him suddenly transformed into countless hands that grabbed him tightly, rendering him immobile.

The Sugar Plum Fairy moved closer to Xu Yi, the teeth on her face dancing.

Xu Yi remembered the girl, speculating that her facial features must have been gnawed away by these sharp teeth.

A heavy scent of blood rushed at him, and the Sugar Plum Fairy drew ever nearer, now only half a meter away from Xu Yi.

The Sugar Plum Fairy, as tall as Xu Yi’s chest, leaped at him, lunging for his face with her teeth.

"Little girl! Didn’t your mother ever tell you to brush your teeth regularly? Otherwise, you’ll get bad breath," he said.

Platinum-colored streams of energy surged from Xu Yi’s body, "Blood as Sacred" activated with full force.

The strength of these "Hands of Darkness" was astonishing; even a Dragon would be bound in place, yet now they were forcibly torn apart by Xu Yi.

The box in his hands opened automatically, and the "Envy" Sin Remains silently fell into Xu Yi’s grasp.

Xu Yi thrust the Sin Remains in his hand fiercely into the head of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

But the next second, his expression changed slightly, because the feel of the dagger was wrong.

He reached out to grasp the Sugar Plum Fairy’s neck, but his hand passed through, as if holding onto a bundle of air.

The Sugar Plum Fairy slowly dissipated, like colorful bubbles being popped, and the "Envy" Sin Remains fell from the air.

The music of the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy disappeared, replaced once again by the staccato drama of a theatrical voice.

Harada Mieko at the end of the corridor sensed the commotion behind her and turned her head, looking at Xu Yi who had suddenly appeared with confusion.

Xu Yi stood still, his eyebrows tightly knit.

No wonder the Ring of Destruction had to find a "Proxy"; although the host of Envy’s Origin was powerful, it was far from being unstoppable.

It was really because the opponent’s Ability was too peculiar.

If the tune couldn’t be heard and the Sugar Plum Fairy hadn’t approached him actively, he wouldn’t have even seen a shadow of the opponent.

But even upon seeing the opponent, there was no guarantee he could do much.

Xu Yi was already very fast, yet the opponent had entered a "Phasing" state before the Sin Remains could land.

"What is the weakness of the opponent’s Ability?" Xu Yi pondered with a frown.

When launching an attack, the opponent must become "solid", so he needed to seize that brief moment.

Xu Yi replayed the recent battle in his head, but the opponent had retreated after one strike, offering him no chance to try anything.

He had wanted to use another Resurrection Coin, but after deliberating, he gave up.

Having already used one, using another would be too extravagant. Most importantly, even with another chance, he had no confidence in touching the opponent.

"The opponent had a clear reaction upon hearing the name Carrie; who exactly is Carrie?"

Xu Yi recalled the girl he had encountered that day and decided to investigate the situation first thing in the morning.

He returned to his workstation, when suddenly an idea struck him.

Ever since the events of the day, he knew Robert would act soon, so whenever Xu Yi had a free moment, he would check on Robert’s status.

Now he had finally got something.

At Robert’s residence, he looked at the "Lizard Dragon" in front of him with excitement.

"Grand Steward! I’ve made an important discovery!"

"Oh, let’s hear it. Weren’t you pursuing the Sugar Plum Fairy today? How is the Proxy? Did you convey our intentions to the Sugar Plum Fairy?" the Lizard Dragon asked with interest.

"The Proxy is dead, and I’ve delivered the message to the Sugar Plum Fairy, but there has been no response. It’s highly likely she has refused," Robert replied urgently.

"Is that the so-called important discovery?" the Lizard Dragon’s voice cooled.

"Of course not. Today I heard the tune of the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and briefly entered that Different Space, but I didn’t feel any presence. If I’m not mistaken..."

Robert took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in his heart, allowing him to deliver the punchline, "The Sugar Plum Fairy might have come into contact with the Black Void Gate."

"What? Are you sure it’s the Black Void Gate?"

The Lizard Dragon leaped in front of Robert, its pale gold vertical pupils staring at him intently, as if verifying whether he was lying.

"I’m not sure, to be honest. It’s just a possibility," Robert’s tone shifted abruptly, "but even with a slight possibility, it’s worth us trying, isn’t it?"

The Lizard Dragon’s eyes flickered with light, obviously contemplating. After a long pause, it slowly began to speak, "Are you suggesting that I apply for the authorization to use that thing?"

"Exactly!" Robert nodded eagerly. "To capture the Sugar Plum Fairy quickly, we can only rely on that thing. And if my guess is right, we might gain a guide to the Black Void Gate."

"I understand. Wait for my message," the Lizard Dragon was evidently tempted but did not agree at once and swiftly crawled away.

And Xu Yi witnessed this entire scene. Stay tuned for updates on novelbuddy
