Chapter 1616 - 1616 Unsealing
1616 Unsealing
Ji Xiaobo was a little worried and secretly gave Fang Heng a look.
A few days ago, Ji Xiaobo had already noticed that the seal on Viona’s soul spike was showing signs of loosening.
Now, with the awakening of Viona’s Saintess’ inheritance, the seal had loosened once again, and there were signs that it was getting out of control.
Fang Heng noticed Ji Xiaobo’s gaze and gave him a reassuring look.
Whoosh!
When the light in Sheng Tao’s pupils completely disappeared, Viona suddenly opened her eyes.
Her eyes contained a faint sacred luster.
Viona sensed her condition and turned to look at Fang Heng.
Fang Heng asked, “How is it?”
“The demon in Sheng Tao’s body is not of a high level. Purifying it can only complete a small part of the awakening of the Saintess’ inheritance.”
Fang Heng asked, “How much?”
“Less than ten percent.”
Fang Heng sized up Viona, thinking about how credible her words were.
A fully awakened Saintess’ peak power could reach the Demigod level.
Right now, Viona was just a shell.
Even if she only had one-tenth of her peak strength, it would still be extremely difficult to deal with her.
Fang Heng pointed at the great holy sword in the center of the cave and asked, “Can I acquire the holy weapon now?”
“We can give it a try.”
Viona also turned her head to look at the giant-sized holy artifact in the center and said, “The prerequisite is that you have to believe me and be willing to help me undo the seal on my body.”
“Of course.”
Fang Heng answered without hesitation and nodded at Ji Xiaobo who was by the side.
“Help her undo the seal.”
“Hello, Fang Heng!”
Ji Xiaobo was shocked.
What the hell!
Taking the initiative to help Viona undo the seal on her soul spike?!
He knew that Fang Heng wanted to deal with Viona, and he also wanted to maximize the benefits. After feeding Viona’s Saintess awakening power to a certain extent, he would seal her completely and hand her in for the mission.
But…
The greater Viona’s strength, the greater the risk.
Playing so big?
Was he not afraid of death?
“Unseal it.”
Fang Heng’s expression was calm. He looked at Viona again and said, “Viona, I’m willing to trust you again. I might as well tell you that I’ve already found a way out. My soul has already found its home in advance, so don’t think about killing me. Of course, you can also try to take a gamble.”
“Fang Heng, I won’t harm you. You’re not guilty. You’re only affected by the power of the demonic seed.”
Viona’s gaze toward Fang Heng was filled with gentleness, unconsciously adding a hint of the holy system.
As long as her soul spike was unsealed, her power would return to its peak!
At that time, the situation would be completely reversed!
She could firmly control Fang Heng in her hands!
The only thing she had to be wary of was the sacred tree.
She was patient.
Fang Heng needed to be eliminated.
But now was not the time. She still needed to find the ritualist behind Fang Heng.
This was the only way for her to completely unlock her soul awakening.
Viona’s face was full of sincerity as she continued, “Please accept my help. Reveal in the name of the Holy Light. Fang Heng, I will help you remove the contamination in your body.”
Fang Heng stared at Viona’s face, and a line of game prompts quickly flashed across his retina.
[Hint: The player has been affected by the skill-Piety. The player’s willpower and soul strength have been successfully determined. The player is immune to this hint effect.]
Tsk!
The Holy Court!
Fang Heng became even more vigilant.
Viona’s psychological cue was stronger than before!
He could already feel the urge to trust Viona.
On the surface, Fang Heng nodded and said, “I hope you keep your promise.”
“Ji Xiaobo, you can start now. Unseal it.”
Seeing that Fang Heng was serious, Ji Xiaobo couldn’t help but grit his teeth. He activated a spell in his hand and chanted a spell.
Wisps of gray mist gradually dissipated from Viona’s body.
“Pfft! Tsk tsk…”
The soul spike that had pierced into Viona’s body was also pulled out, floating back to Ji Xiaobo’s side.
Viona closed her eyes again, sensing the recovery of the holy power in her body.
All the way to the peak!
As the last soul spike was pulled out, Viona’s body was enveloped in a faint layer of holy power.
Holy power flowed out of her body unconsciously.
Fang Heng stared at Viona, watching the holy power fluctuations around her, and he was secretly vigilant.
She had only awakened less than one-tenth of the Saintess’ power, yet Viona’s strength had reached such a level!
Now was his best chance.
After all, the Saintess’ inheritance power was an external force.
Viona had just awakened, and her body still needed time to adapt to the huge power she had just obtained.
Viona was still unable to fully control this power.
The best proof of this was that the holy fluctuations were not restrained!
Fang Heng had already rehearsed countless times in his mind.
Whether Viona immediately turned hostile or continued to feign civility, he had already prepared enough to deal with her.
Fang Heng whispered, “Viona.”
Whoosh!
Viona suddenly opened her eyes, and two beams of holy fire shot out from her eyes.
Ji Xiaobo shouted, “Be careful!”
Fang Heng turned his body slightly to avoid the two holy flames.
“Boom!!!”
Two streams of holy fire burned two deep holes in the cave wall behind Fang Heng.
“I’m sorry, Fang Heng. I just awakened the Saintess’ power, so I can’t control it well.”
Viona looked apologetic.
The feeling of power returning to her body was great! Viona could feel the holy power surging in her body.
Now, Fang Heng was no longer a threat in her eyes.
He had become an existence that could be played around with at will.
The absolute suppression of power caused Viona to lose some of her vigilance.
Viona nodded at Fang Heng and said, “Fang Heng, my current strength is enough to remove the pollution in your body. We can begin.”
“There’s no hurry. Let’s wait.”
Fang Heng judged that Viona did not make a move directly. She was most likely preparing to continue using him.
Very good!
Moving on to the next step!
Fang Heng raised his hand and pointed at the great holy sword in the center of the cave. He said, “Before solving the pollution problem, I want you to control the holy sword first.”
Viona looked at the holy sword in the center of the cave, and a hint of surprise flashed across her brows.
“You want me to take the holy artifact first?”
“Yes.”
“With your current ability, you can control it, right?”
Viona looked at the holy artifact and nodded. She replied, “Indeed, I can do that but aren’t you worried? Once I obtain the holy sword, it will stimulate the Saintess’ inheritance power. At that time, my strength will increase again. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll harm you?”
Fang Heng looked at Viona calmly and asked, “Will you?”
Viona’s gaze softened as she said, “I won’t, Fang Heng.”
“That’s good. Compared to this, I’m more worried that your strength is not enough. You won’t be able to completely remove the pollution in my body, and there will be some hidden dangers left behind.”
Viona understood and nodded. She replied, “Indeed. The pollution in your body comes from the main body of the ‘Tongues of Jealousy.’ It’s extremely strong. For safety’s sake, it’s better to wait for my strength to increase before removing it completely.”
