The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 455 - 272: A Kind of Battlefield in a Certain Sense

"I killed myself... Ah—"

Miss Bones, shielded by An Su in front of him, cocked her head, her face a picture of confusion, with a clear bewilderment shining in her eyes.

She pointed at the Azure Sorceress, who split half of the artificial sky, then lifted the sleeve of her robe to reveal her skeletal frame, picked at it, and gestured to An Su that she's now nothing more than a spare ribs spirit.

In life, Bone was at the pinnacle of demi-gods. After being summoned by An Su with a substantial amount of magic power, her rank could barely reach that of a saint.

Even so, she could only be the weakest of saints.

Compared to her nineteen-year-old self—the Azure Sorceress with a complete flesh body and Magic Eye—Bone felt she would be scattered into a disassembled skeleton with just one hit.

Even though she also yearned to slay her adolescent, sophomoric self, that was merely wishful thinking. To put it plainly, right now she was nothing more than an undead without a corpse.

"As long as you have the perfect 'body'...," said An Su's calm and steady voice from behind her.

Miss Bones turned her head to look at An, but saw the youth, who's about to be devoured by big sister, without a flicker of emotion in his expression. His gray-green eyes as calm as the deep blue lake, the pale white hair swaying in front of his eyelids was like catkins reflected in the lake, clear to the bottom. Those eyes made Miss Bones want to taste their saltiness.

Ever since An Su's soul rank reached that of a saint, his flavor had become more attractive.

The perfect shell... Luo Xiaohei shook his tail; an idea struck him, and he looked toward the body lying in front of the statue, still emanating a faint holy radiance, the true Dawn Saintess's left 'Holy Body'. Luo Xiaohei blinked his eyes.

Although the Dawn Saintess had died and her soul had departed, her shell was still alive, blessed by the Holy Light.

If the body of the Dawn Saintess, coupled with the soul of the Azure Sorceress—a supreme holy shell infused with a supreme holy soul—merged the two great saintesses renowned in their respective fields... wouldn't that create a super skin suit?

He shook his head immediately; no matter how you think about it, that's impossible.

Even if the Azure Sorceress was chosen by the Seven Gods, the Possession Transformation technique of the Ladder Esoteric Sect was only developed in modern times; the witches three thousand years ago couldn't have possibly mastered this technology. Even if she wanted to learn now, it wouldn't be possible in a mere few minutes...

There was another slightly feasible method, which was the 'Resurrection of the Dead' magic that An had used before.

Guided by Holy light, to stuff a dead soul harbouring strong emotions for An into the shell...

But this seemed unreasonable.

Luo Xiaohei dismissed the idea again. In the era when the Azure Sorceress was alive, An's ancestors weren't even born yet; there were no connections or love-hate relationships between them, so how could there be strong emotions—a necessary prerequisite for the Resurrection of the Dead.

And seeing Bone's compliant demeanor now, it was even less likely to be achievable.

Wait a minute... Luo Xiaohei suddenly realized something, her pupils widening slightly.

An, that rascal full of lies, wouldn't possibly joke about his own life. Could it be he had thought of a way to bypass the prerequisites for 'Resurrection of the Dead'?

Miss Bones coughed lightly, looking forward with anticipation at An, wondering what kind of surprise he had in store for her.

"The judgment condition for 'Resurrection of the Dead' is: a dead soul harboring strong emotions towards the caster, but it doesn't specify from 'during their lifetime'," An Su said with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, "so I just need the current Bone to harbor strong emotions towards me. And what I am going to do is this—"

"All I need is for Bone to fall in love with me right now," An Su said with a smile, "I plan to give her a gift. Once enough emotion has accumulated, Bone will be able to board the Dawn Saintess's vessel."

"Nether" indeed had a gameplay involving conquering characters.

Luo Xiaohei looked at An incredulously, You've never given me a gift!

"Eh, eh, eh?" Bone tilted her head, her eyes slightly evasive, "You mean, oh my, hehehe."

She coughed, straightened her chest and ribs, hands on her hips, "Ahem, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm quite a reserved girl."

An Su remained expressionless.

"Hmph," she snorted with hands on her hips, stealing a side glance at An before snorting again, "Of course, if you give me all your knowledge, I, I might be willing to improve my opinion of you a bit."

Miss Bones nodded emphatically and began to make wishes, "This kind of behavior from a boy really scores points."

Can I redeem those points for an egg?

An Su looked at Miss Lower Skull shining all over with bone-white radiance, shaking his head slightly, "No need for that much trouble, I prefer efficiency."

I'm not a monkey; I wouldn't fall in love with the White Bone Spirit.

"All you need is to harbor strong emotions for a short time, but it isn't specified what kind of emotions," his smile became purer and cleaner, "I want to achieve a conquest in the physical sense."

"Efficiency?" Miss Bones suddenly had a bad premonition, "What you mean by that... that conquest isn't, is it?"

"Of course it's conquest in the literal sense!"

The smile at the corner of An Su's mouth became more peaceful and innocent, his thin lips slightly parted as he manipulated the magic power all around him, drawing vast amounts of Holy Light from the statue and eventually manifesting it. "Holy Light Illumination Technique—"

The Holy Light Illumination Technique, the lowest-tier Holy Light magic, works by simply releasing Holy Light. It can slightly disperse low-tier undead, typically used in haunted house exorcisms, not very effective. But it has one characteristic, the strong repulsion between the Holy Light and the undead means it causes no harm when it hits an undead, but it's very painful.
