Prime Originator

Chapter 299 - I'll Be Okay!

Having successfully planted the Blood Imprint on the vengeful spirit, Leon would naturally carry out his side of the deal. He did not need the vengeful spirit to tell him twice.

"Wait a minute."

Leon lowered his gaze onto the Peak Tier 4 formation below and began to search for the eye of the formation. Every formation had one. It is where the core runic circuit of formation is located.

Once the eye of the formation is located, deactivating the Peak Tier 4 formation would become as easy as turning over one's hand, just like Leon had done with the Tier 4 Teleportation Array.

It only took a few breaths for Leon to find the eye of the formation. Once he saw it, he sent out a wisp of energy into one of the core circuit's runic lines and made it flow in reverse. The formation was shortly deactivated, like turning off a switch after it was short-circuited.

The black chains that once shackled the vengeful spirit soon lost their solidity and loosen their constraints. They slowly faded until they ultimately disperse into the darkness like ashes in the wind.

Leon had his guard up immediately as the vengeful spirit's figure blurred and disappeared. The vengeful spirit was not trying to attack him. It simply shot out of the well to enjoy its moment of freedom.

"Ahhh~! I am finally free! How long has it been since I was able to move this freely?"

The vengeful spirit was ecstatic, hopping, and skipping around with great joy and celebration like a little girl. Seeing the vengeful spirit like this, Leon could not see it as something that would be regarded as evil.

What is good? And what is evil? Was this not something humans came up with? Perhaps he had treated the vengeful spirit too unfairly.

The demons were considered a type of extremely evil race by the Divine Realm and hated by the myriad races. This was without a doubt.

However, this did not mean every demon is evil. There were also good demons among them, albeit extreme few and in between.

If even demons can be good, why can't vengeful spirits?

Leon shook his head as he flew out of the well.

"Do you have a name?" Leon asked with a soft tone.

"Hmm… I think I did have one a few hundred years ago." The vengeful spirit did not notice Leon's slight change in attitude as she pondered his question. "Ah, I remember now! My name is Lumi."

"Then, I will call you Lumi from now on." Leon smiled. "You can also just call me Leon."

"Alright!"

Lumi hummed before mumbling his name to herself repeatedly like she was afraid of forgetting if she did not commit it to memory.

Leon shook his head, thinking that if people did not know Lumi was a 400-year old vengeful spirit, they would mistake her for a lovely 16-year old girl.

"I need to make a trip somewhere. I hope you can behave and stay here until I come back." Said Leon, suddenly.

"Hm? Where are you going? Can I come?" The vengeful spirit asked curiously. She was unwilling to spend another moment in Lost Isle Alley when she had already done so for 400 years.

Leon pondered for a moment before he nodded, "That's also fine, but won't you feel uncomfortable under the sunlight?"

"Ah…" Lumi's eyes dimmed slightly, recalling that she was no longer human but a spirit. However, she cheered herself up with a somewhat stiff smile. "I'll be okay. I'm not that afraid of sunlight anymore."

As Lumi said this, she made some exaggerated masculine poses to tell Leon that she was very strong. That's right, she was already Half Corporeal state vengeful spirit.

Half Corporeal state vengeful spirits were powerful enough to resist sunlight and other yang elements to some degree.

To vengeful spirits, reaching True Corporeal state was the equivalent of humans achieving Transcendence.

At the True Corporeal state, they were no longer semi-translucent and appear no different from any other humans. Sunlight no longer poses a problem for them at this point.

But while Lumi was still Half Corporeal, it is enough to make even knowledgeable Transcendents, wary of her existence. This is because vengeful spirits specialize in soul attacks, making it hard for others to guard against their attacks.

The Banshee's Scream was one such soul attack. It can stun people by shaking their souls directly.

This is also the reason why Leon was so wary of a Half Corporeal state vengeful spirits. They might not be as strong as Transcendents, but they were more troublesome to deal with than Transcendents.

Leon had his considerations for allowing Lumi to tag along. He did not know when Lumi's other personality might take over and go on a rampage. It would be a disaster if he were not present to prevent it.

"Let's go then."

"Okay!"

Leon gave a light smile.

Making their outside, Faelyn and Marquis Haldir immediately greeted them.

"Is everything settled—Who is this… person next to you, Your Highness?" Marquis Haldir said with a rather startled look. The sunlight evidently made the vengeful spirit appear more translucent.

"Are you alright?"

Faelyn gave Lumi a worried look.

"Ehehe… It's a bit hot, isn't it?" Lumi said with a light chuckle as she fanned herself with both hands.

Leon also turned to his side for a glance and became speechless in the next moment.

A little trail of white smoke was seen rising from Lumi's head.

"Excuse us for one moment," Leon said before dragging Lumi back into Lost Isle Alley. Lumi was too surprised by Leon's firm grip on her hand that she did not resist.

Faelyn and Marquis Haldir gave each other a glance. Obviously, the person they just met was not human, or rather… it was hard to call it a living thing.

"Didn't you say you would be okay in front of the sunlight? How was that okay? You were literally burning." Leon admonished with a bit of speechlessness.

Lumi did not reply. Her thoughts continued to linger on Leon's hand.

As a Half Corporeal state vengeful spirit, no human should have been able to grab her so effortlessly like Leon did.

"Are you listening?"

"Ah? Yes!" Lumi finally snapped out of her thoughts and answered. She became slightly embarrassed and began to think about the cause.

"Never mind. I understand why." Leon said with a dull tone.

Leon did not wait for Lumi to come up with a reason before arriving at his own conclusion. Lumi had become weaker compared to her former peak state. This was due to the formation draining her power.

Hearing Leon's tone, Lumi started to panic, thinking Leon was no longer going to allow her outside.

"What should I do? Are you going to leave—"

Suddenly, Lumi's expression became blank before she was able to finish her words. Her pupils became darker, and the surrounding air began to change as malevolent aura spilled out from her body.

'It's happening again!' Leon thought with narrowed eyes and drew his distance.

He did not expect for the other personality to switch over at this moment. What exactly was the trigger?
