"Moonfire!"
Amidst the unconscious screams of old Lady Gustav, Shad thrust the pure silver flames into her eye sockets. The ends of the tentacles were still inside, and the consequences would be severe if left untreated.
Fortunately, Shad acted quickly, and the flesh mutation had not yet damaged the old witch's brain.
After returning the old witch to her small sanctuary, Shad reshaped her eyes and optic nerves with clay. The latter was very detailed, but fortunately, the outsider's "living clay" only required him to sculpt the outline; he hadn't paid attention to blood vessels and nerves when sculpting arms and legs for the witch's followers before.
Thanks to Shad's treatment, Mrs. Gustav is alright, but she will probably need to rest for a while to recover.
What did she just see?
This was the thing that Shad and the two witches were most curious about. To ensure safety, the old witch had always been the one to block the view of others and observe first. Although Shad knew that she did this out of caution, he did not expect that they would actually encounter such a thing.
“This factory is more dangerous than we thought. Actually, when we were crossing the River of Blood, I felt something in the River of Blood below watching me as I climbed the chains, but I’m not sure if it was just my imagination.”
Somewhat frightened, Miss Bradley knelt beside the old witch and said, while the pink dragon girl's expression wasn't much better:
“Mrs. Gustave was the highest-ranking among us. If we had been looking out the door, the situation would probably have been much worse.”
"I don't know if the witches in the academy have talked about the past. When I first met them, those venerable ladies were also trapped in a similar place. A god was hiding beside them, but they thought he was their companion."
The situation was far more dangerous back then. I'm not trying to scare you with stories; I just want to say that there's always a way, and the situation isn't so bad now.
Shad comforted her, saying that after all, the "Lord of Flesh and Blood Anomalies" had not yet appeared. If the old witch had seen that god just now, Shad wouldn't even have had a chance to save her.
Mrs. Gustav had actually woken up, but her mental state was so severely damaged that she hadn't spoken to anyone. The very caring Gina carefully fed her some of the holy water that Shad had brought, and then enveloped her in soothing healing bubbles. Seeing that the old witch's condition had temporarily stabilized, Shad finally spoke:
"Before I come again, I'll prepare some potions to suppress the mutation of flesh and blood. Although I can heal you, I can't stay here forever."
He looked at the door again:
“I can stay here for about five more minutes. Since there’s still time, I don’t plan to waste it. I’m going to try opening the door again. Even if there’s danger, I can escape as soon as the time is up. The possibility of being unable to handle danger twice in a row is too low. I don’t believe we’re that unlucky. Wait a moment.”
He took out another apple, took a bite, hoping to share in Ellie's good luck, and then repeated:
"I don't believe our luck is that bad."
Gina and Miss Bradley knew they would have to open the door again sooner or later, so although they were worried, they did not object to Shad taking the risk.
“I’ll stand at the door to meet you. Let Linor stay and take care of Mrs. Gustav.”
Seeing that Shad was about to climb out of the shelter, Gina followed behind him. Because the blood pool below the "Forge of Life" looked too dangerous, the shelter camp was located by the wall, not far from the entrance. So the short halfling witch nodded and watched them walk to the door with concern.
Shad blocked the part of Gina's body except for her tail, carefully grasped the doorknob, and the door opened smoothly again, revealing a small room. Blood-red lights illuminated the professional biological experimental equipment on the lab table, and the cabinets along the wall were filled with all sorts of biological tissue samples.
"Safety."
He waited five seconds before speaking softly. Gina then peeked out from beside Shad and looked over, then breathed a sigh of relief:
“I recognize this kind of room! It’s the factory’s ‘laboratory room.’ Mrs. Gustav first appeared here. These kinds of rooms can also be used as temporary rest areas. Mrs. Gustav found a backpack and a lot of useful supplies left behind by someone else in a similar room. She was much luckier than me and Linor.”
"A valuable room, is it? Then I'll go search it. You stay at the door and don't go in."
Shad instructed that although the monsters could not enter the "Life Furnace" room, no one knew if they could close the door easily, so someone had to stay here for safety.
Gina's tail swayed gently behind her, and she nodded quickly:
"Be careful."
Shad then stepped into the laboratory, which was filled with clutter. He had only been exposed to Laplace Howard's biological laboratory on Green Lake Island before, so he was not very familiar with this kind of scene.
He only took five steps into the laboratory before stopping and looking around hesitantly.
"what happened?"
Gina, who was outside the door, immediately asked.
"I have a strange feeling; something's not right about this room."
Although he didn't immediately realize the problem, Shad trusted his intuition and was already prepared to back down:
"This room seems to be..."
"Live!"
The sound came from all directions of the room. A wall of flesh rose up, instantly blocking the door through which Shad had come in. Then, all the objects in the entire "laboratory" lost their disguise and turned flesh-colored. Even the walls and ceiling turned into writhing flesh and blood. Only the floor was real.
It was only then that Xia De realized that there was clearly a monster here, covering the surface of the room with its own disguise to lure him in. This was not a laboratory at all.
He didn't know what this fleshy monster was, and it clearly had no intention of introducing itself. The wall of flesh rapidly contracted inward; it didn't launch a direct attack, but instead tried to devour Shad in this way.
"Moonlight Slash!"
Aiming at the doorway, Shad raised his hand and unleashed a beam of moonlight. The cold arc of light caused flesh to burst open, but the moonlight still couldn't directly penetrate the ever-expanding and thickening flesh walls. Those writhing, crimson things were not simply ordinary flesh; their distorted crimson color seemed even more indestructible than mithril.
Considering that this was not an evil being like a demon or monster, but merely a mutated creature of flesh and blood, a direct attack by "Moonfire" would likely be ineffective against it. Therefore, Shad extended his hand forward:
"Remnants of chaos!"
A massive, spinning fireball formed in his palm and exploded with a deafening roar, yet it still failed to break through the wall of flesh. Shad then used "Chloe's Cold Breath," unleashing frost upon the area previously blasted by the fireball.
The flesh and blood rapidly transformed to resist the extreme cold; this thing was alive and appeared to possess the ability to adapt and evolve according to its environment. So, after the flesh and blood recombined and gained cold resistance, Shad immediately cast a third extraordinary spell:
"Corrupted blood mist!"
This was the truly specialized "flesh and blood decay" technique, but Xia De hadn't had a chance to use it earlier. The foul-smelling red poisonous mist he sprayed out immediately foamed upon contact with the flesh wall.
Meanwhile, Shad used "Chaos Remnants" and "Freezing Ray" in rapid succession, attacking a single point with the power of fire, ice, and corruption. Because he was about to leave, Shad didn't care about the consumption of his spirit. Although the flesh wall resisted stubbornly, it was gradually weakened. After several dozen seconds, Shad vaguely heard Gina's shouts outside the wall, followed by the old witch's weak voice:
"Great Disintegration Technique!"
The door was finally breached by the combined attack from inside and outside, but the mutated flesh and blood were clearly unwilling to let Shad leave so easily.
Seeing that it could no longer contain Shad, the scattered flesh and blood gathered towards the doorway of the room, forming a wall of flesh and blood in a real sense. The edges of the flesh wall were firmly fixed to the wall with a thin membrane of connective tissue. The surging flesh and blood made gurgling noises. Then, with a strange, vomiting sound, the flesh wall exploded forward, and countless pink flesh spikes shot towards Shad.
"Chloe's Time Freeze!"
The fleshy spikes froze in mid-air, then burst into flames again on the surface of the fleshy wall. With the countdown to his official departure underway, Shad no longer had any reservations.
"It's best to use only one transformation form each time you enter this area, right?"
Yes. Otherwise, physical problems may arise.
"Alright, Moonlight Slash - Fourth Form!"
He transformed himself into a crisscrossing cross of moonlight, piercing through the dense fleshy spikes and directly striking the shattered wall of flesh. The fourth form's moonlight slash was indeed extraordinary, almost piercing through the fleshy wall, but only "almost."
As the moonlight disappeared and Shad reappeared, flesh and blood immediately seized the opportunity to envelop him.
The witches in the "Forge of Life" room could only see Shad's blurry figure through his flesh and blood, and that figure was once again enveloped in silver moonlight:
"Transformation - Moon Dragon - Roar!"
The intense moonlight at that moment even made Gina outside the door turn her head and close her eyes. The rapidly growing flesh and blood burst the mass of flesh and blood, but due to the limited space in the room, he also controlled his size to not be too big.
This breath was no longer an elemental attack, but the purest dragon's breath, a powerful force that a pure-blooded dragon must possess. At the same time, four black chains extending from the Moon Dragon's scales swept across the bursting flesh. The chains were most effective against objects possessing "desire," and the devouring desire of these mutated flesh and blood was far stronger than that of humans.
