As he was grabbed by that hand, a furious and frantic female voice rang in Xiu's head.
[Oh my god, I thought I was going to die this time. Dying in this place would be so embarrassing!]
At the same time, in reality, Xiu also heard a weak but murderous voice through gritted teeth.
"Quickly, splash my blood onto that shadow!"
[We absolutely cannot waste it! It breaks my heart to see so much blood shed in vain.]
Maggie's main focus is on environmental protection and conservation. Since she can't undo her serious injuries and the blood can't be recycled, she decides to make use of the waste.
She had cursed that ghostly figure countless times just now, so her tone of voice wasn't exactly pleasant.
It's just not for repair.
"?"
Xiu's expression stiffened, as if he didn't understand what Maggie was trying to do.
"My blood will subdue that guy. Do as I say."
Maggie's words were concise and to the point, her tone sinister, and her mood sounded quite bad.
She also managed to lift her head with difficulty, but the way she was lying down, half-floating in the blood, and with several large holes in her body, made her look like a female ghost who had come back to life.
It looks rather creepy.
Those mermaids who had originally wanted to get closer and check on Maggie's condition were all so frightened that they took several steps back, a scene comparable to the day Maggie dissected a live mermaid.
Everyone shares the same fear; everyone is afraid.
I'm afraid of Maggie herself.
Upon hearing Maggie's words, they were all trembling with fear, looking at Xiu as if he were a warrior.
"Hurry up, or it will all be diluted by the seawater."
Maggie didn't care what others thought; she kept urging him on. Noticing Xiu's gaze fixed on her, she gave him a speechless look in return.
Don't just look at me. I can't eat by looking at you. You can't expect me to do this while I'm seriously injured, can you?
Maggie muttered to herself, while Xiu's expression changed rapidly, his gaze towards Maggie shifting from worry to curiosity, and then to helplessness.
"...good."
Xiu forced out these words from his throat, guiding the blood flowing from Maggie to rush completely into the ghost's body.
The ghost was initially dismissive, but the moment it came into contact with Maggie's blood...
Just like sulfuric acid splashed on human skin, instantly burning out a large, charred hole, it began to frantically corrode and erode his thin shadow, gradually making it smaller and smaller.
"You! What are you?! How can you control me?!"
Ghost Shadow went completely mad. He struggled to escape, but the Twins gave him no chance. He could only watch helplessly as he was gradually corroded away by Maggie's blood.
Even as his last shadow remained, he was still desperately begging for mercy, saying everything he could. But in the eyes of both the mermaids and Maggie, he was nothing more than a cult member.
No one helped him; everyone coldly watched him die and disappear completely.
Meanwhile, Maggie finally recovered a little with the help of healing magic. She struggled to get up, and although the bleeding had temporarily stopped, her serious injuries were not much better.
For wounds that are too deep, the only option is to seek out powerful priests and wait for them to heal little by little.
However, none of these things concerned Maggie the most. All her attention was now focused on the gray bead inside her body, which she couldn't see in its current state.
But perhaps because her soul had just left her body, she clearly saw the bead that should have been dull and gray.
It even looks a bit eerie. In addition to absorbing the necromantic toxins from Ficklin and being enhanced once, it is also covered with intricate, gorgeous, and terrifying patterns.
It seemed to have attached itself from who-knows-where, and it inexplicably made people uneasy.
There was also a dense aura of death swirling around it, forming a double ring that enveloped the gray bead.
This deathly aura was much denser and purer than the original gray bead. Maggie made a quick guess and could only think of the battle involving the Pope.
It could be due to a forbidden spell, or it could be related to the group of dead saintesses.
But this is not the final form of the Gray Bead. Just now, after Maggie was slinged to the Ice Crystal Mountain, the Gray Bead was triggered again. However, instead of turning her into an undead, it violently absorbed the energy from the ice crystals.
It was like a bottomless pit, absorbing as much power as the ice crystal possessed, until the massive, desperate ice crystal was completely drained by the gray bead, finally shattering into fragments.
Yes, the ice crystals breaking is indeed related to Maggie, but the way they're connected is just too embarrassing to admit.
The gray beads of today are no longer recognizable as gray beads; they now have an additional layer of frost-like snowflake patterns, and a thin layer of frost covers the beads.
Although Maggie couldn't feel any coldness on the gray bead, the fact that the once ordinary gray bead had evolved into its current form made her feel a little uneasy.
Not to mention that the energy level contained in the gray bead far exceeds the normal value, but it has not been activated or triggered because it is still hidden in her body.
If she dies... all the energy inside the mutated gray bead will explode...
Could she really turn into some kind of terrifying, world-destroying undead?
Maggie couldn't even imagine what level of monster undead would hatch from a gray bead that had mutated to this extent.
Before, Maggie could just imagine herself having fun, like reading a happy story. But now... it's hard to say.
Maggie fell into deep thought.
Although she didn't really like the Duke's Mansion or the Temple of Light, being the boss of the world's destruction was a bit too much.
She wasn't exactly a good person, but she wasn't a bad person either.
Now that she suspects she might become the final boss, Maggie is somewhat panicked.
Therefore, she decided that once she returned to the temple, she must find a way to remove the mutated gray bead, as it was a huge hidden danger.
"what's on your mind?"
Xiu had returned by then and walked to Maggie's side. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Maggie, but seeing the wounds all over Maggie's body, including a penetrating wound on her arm, he withdrew his hand and just asked silently.
"It's nothing, the problem is solved, it's time to go back."
Maggie snapped out of her thoughts. Gray Pearl's matter must not be known to anyone else. You can know a person's face but not their heart. She has now become a huge hidden danger. If others find out, who knows what might happen to her.
Therefore, she will absolutely keep the matter of Gray Pearl to herself.
"good."
Seeing that Maggie was clearly hiding something, Xiu didn't press her for details. He simply pursed his lips and gave a soft reply.
At that moment, the twins also walked to Maggie's side. The older brother, Spald, stood not far away and watched quietly, while Spald took the initiative to approach Maggie, his tone carrying a hint of awkwardness.
"I thought you were dead."
