Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 181 Sincerely for You

Yuguka suddenly felt a surge of fear. Could it be that Diqi had failed? No, that couldn't be the case. Then why was he kneeling on the ground covered in blood?

Also, who are the people around you?

Yuguka's consciousness was a little fuzzy, but he knew clearly that the alchemy array had failed.

The Phantom Wraith's attack traveled through time and caused considerable damage to Yuguka. Although he wanted to complete the final vortex, he was truly unable to do so.

"How could this be?"

Bubulu was shocked. They were on guard against possible hidden arrows from all directions, but Yuguka was still injured.

What's worse is that with Yuguka injured, the mirage began to stir again.

"Cough cough..."

Yuguka coughed violently, his face pale. "Grandpa once told me that the Sharna family are the masterminds. And the 'field' is their forte. Furthermore, they're skilled at extracting energy from dead monsters to maintain the 'field'. Years ago, the Sharna family secretly collected many monster carcasses and locked them away as a backup energy source. Just in case, only the blood of the Sharna family can power the alchemy array."

"As you know, over four hundred years ago, countless blood mingled with hatred accidentally activated the formation. Under the curse of the monster corpses and Dino Sharna, the mirage was accidentally created... Born of resentment, the mirage has no physical form, making ordinary physical or elemental attacks ineffective against it."

As he spoke, Yuguka sighed, as if regretting his own powerlessness.

"Over the years, I've learned from Saint Germain the ability to create 'fields.' There are three types of 'fields.' The first is storage, for simple material transfer; the second is retracing, which is how I used this 'field' to transport Diqi back to when my grandfather was still alive; and the third is the 'field' I'm about to activate. Once completed, it will create a top-secret dimension parallel to any point in time, completely eliminating the mirage... but unfortunately, I failed."

Yuguka knew that he was doomed to fail, so he blurted out everything he knew.

The "field" that Yuguka worked so hard to build has failed. Is everything irreparable?

At this moment, with a cry of "Ouch", Diqi grabbed Saint Germain, who had turned into an old man, with a cold face and threw him to the ground.

"Oh my God... This, this is Saint Germain? How come he has become so old?" Jiaozi said in disbelief.

"Saint Germain, you hurt my eldest brother, and now you want to drag all of us down with you. Your idea is good, but before that, you will be the first to die."

Diqi stepped on Saint Germain's hand, and the poor old man couldn't help but scream.

"Is this the price...Okay, I'll tell you."

Saint Germain knew that his time was running out, so he wanted to confess all his crimes.

"What Yuguka said just now is correct. A mirage in its normal state cannot be defeated by any conventional means. However, the blood of the Sharna people can be used to weaken its strength, allowing it to gain strength. However, even so, the mirage's combat power is quite terrifying. You are no match for it..."

"This is enough."

As he spoke, Diqi wanted to take the initiative to draw blood - of course, it should be Saint Germain's.

Saint Germain knew that Diqi was not going to hold back, so he decided to do it himself.

So, Saint Germain trembled as he cut his fingers, and with the water of blood, the mirage gradually took shape.

Now Selina is not well yet, so someone else has to take her place to defeat the mirage.

"Tiki, keep an eye on Saint Germain and don't let him cause trouble again."

As he spoke, Yi Yin picked up the green-haired turtle and prepared to complete the system's task.

【green haired turtle, WARP UPGRADE】

After the warp upgrade, the green-haired turtle began to fight with the phantom mirage. The phantom mirage unconsciously devoured everything around it, leaving no chance for it to bite.

"[Magic Space]!"

Just in case, the green-haired turtle forcibly reversed its speed, wanting to slowly think about how to eliminate the mirage once and for all.

correct!

Use that method - give someone a taste of their own medicine!

Even if the mirage can be repelled temporarily, it will wake up again in the near future. The best solution is to put it into a long sleep.

After thinking about this, the green-haired turtle took a deep breath, and then with an overwhelming momentum, he ate the mirage bit by bit.

"???"

Everyone was stunned. How could this be done? In their minds, the only creatures with such power besides Taotie were Sibu Xiang. But Sibu Xiang wasn't necessarily capable of such a feat under normal circumstances.

Soon, the rivers and seas were calm and the world was bright and clear.

The terrifying monster Mirage created by the Sharna family was completely destroyed from then on.

"Do not……!"

Seeing this scene, Saint Germain became so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Yuguka... I'm almost dying. I have nothing to say. I just hope you can take good care of the Phantom Fox for me and make it as powerful as the Barbary Golden Lion."

After saying this, Saint Germain lost consciousness and died.

Di Qi frowned. Was he being too forceful? ... No, this must be the price he had to pay for his Dark Transformation upgrade, overdrawing his own life in advance to strengthen the monster's attributes.

At this moment, Murat suddenly appeared and helped Yuguka up with a distressed look.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Murat said with a guilty conscience, "If I hadn't been bewitched by Saint-Germain, I wouldn't have let you do this..."

"No need to say it."

Yuguka coughed a few times and then looked at Diqi.

"Tiki, you've really grown up... I originally planned to make you the heir of the Layton family after this incident, but now it seems that you've made a group of good friends, which is much better than being confined to this small Layton family. What do you think?"

Di Qi smiled and said, "Brother, do you even need to ask? I will definitely continue my studies at the Cross Base. As for the Layton Family, I'll leave it to you and Sister-in-law Murat to manage together."

After that, the brothers Yuguka and Diqi laughed heartily at each other.

After Saint Germain's death, Yuguka resumed the aftermath work. He secretly sent the wealthy businessmen back to their original place, and then distributed the special medicine for "blood sweat and thirst syndrome" developed by Mentor Cornaro for free.

Naturally, Di Qi's expulsion plan came to nothing. Everyone's heroic performance was witnessed by Instructor Hei Lu, and as a witness, he decided to give the last-place team a very high score.

After many twists and turns, the last-place team's credits finally saw positive growth. It was foreseeable that in the near future, they would meet the graduation standards and graduate successfully.

【end】

"Another dead person..."

As if foreseeing the news of Saint Germain's death, Huang Quan sighed, "An interesting guy, the world has lost another one."

Burning life force to force monsters to become stronger is nothing but forcing things to grow faster in the eyes of those so-called "upright" monster masters and old scholars.

Haha, that's ridiculous. It's precisely because of their conservative thinking that the progress of monstrosity theory is so slow...

"Hehe, back when I was still alive, I was one of the top students. If I were given a little more time, I would definitely be able to research a way to make monsters stronger at a lower cost."

Huang Quan thought angrily, wasn't he a perfect example? Back then, just like most ordinary Monster Master candidates, the Demon King Prajna was also a D-rank. He was able to become the powerful A-rank he is today thanks to one person...

"Huangquan. Her Majesty the Queen has ordered..."

Huang Quan was still thinking about his life when he suddenly heard a silver-haired girl assigning him a task.

"Why me again? Where's Bruno? Where's Albert? Where's Soga?"

Huang Quan felt a little tired.

"...They all have their own things to do. Especially Albert. Due to his obsession with alchemy in another world, he hasn't been contacted for a long time. The same is true for Soga. His last failure at Cell was a big blow to him, and he's started to redouble his training. As for Buno, it's probably time for him to go back for the Lantern Festival."

"In the end, only you and I have the most free time." Huang Quan returned to his playful look.

"...Finally, I'll give you some personal advice. The next mission may be very painful...but no matter what, you must return alive."
