Chapter 633
633 Helpless
“Do they have any weaknesses?” Xue Wei did not know much about grievances, and he was even feeling a little incomprehensible when he understood that the creatures in front of them were neither dead nor alive. They were simply overwhelming resentment that had taken shape.
“Lightning. The purer the lightning it is, the more powerful it will be towards this conglomeration of vengeance. Just like how lightning can purify evil, it can also soothe these negative emotions.” Luoluo knew more of these things than the others, and she also knew how to handle them.
“Well, I have an affinity with the lightning element, so let us give it a try!” Xue Wei had previously gotten good control over this specific element, but he also knew that the current conditions were not suitable. They were, after all, in a large tunnel underground.
“Try your attacks and see if they have any effect. Also, Luoluo and Tianyi are unable to fight well, so be sure to protect them.” As soon as Xue Wei had given the various orders, he got ready to attack.
His arms began to change their shape and scales sprouted from his skin, while his hands and fingers turned into claws.
It had been some time since Xue Wei last used this partial transformation, but doing so would increase his affinity with the thunder element, and he felt how the many sparks of lightning began to appear around his hands.
“We can’t get into the melee range of this strange thing. Attack from afar!” Xue Wei flickered his arms as he spoke, and multiple smaller sparks combined into a large orb of lightning that shot towards the strange creatures in front.
The many vengeful emotions had banded together into a huge amalgamation of various strands, but each strand had a somewhat human-like shape, so the appearance was truly disturbing. However the moment the lightning orb collided with these emotions, the sight turned even worse.
The body that had been created was not completely accurate with how a real living person would look, and naturally, the inside was also very different from flesh and blood.
.....
The moment the lightning orb collided with the many bodies, a wailing and screeching sound erupted, causing the hairs on their skin to stand up, and a shiver to run down their spines in discomfort.
“This...” Ling Xiao felt uncomfortable as he did not know how to describe the scene in front of him. Ripped apart body parts were crawling all over the ground, and the insides of these figures were actually a disgusting black slime that stretched out into tentacles.
These tentacles were grabbing other body parts strewn across the ground, and slowly merged together once more. Unfortunately, these bodies were now no longer human-shaped as they could even be two legs combined together and rolling towards Xue Wei and his group.
“The damage does not seem to do much.” Xue Wei’s brows were furrowed and he could not hide the feeling of discomfort as he tried to figure out a way for them to fight.
He tossed lighting orbs into the pile of bodies, one after another, but every time they were broken apart, they would simply reattach themselves to whatever they could find and continue their approach.
Ling Xiao and Hei Gou were also attacking to the best of their abilities. They used both inscriptions and attacks, but little did it seem to help. The vengeful emotions kept approaching.
No matter which attack was thrown at these strange bodies, it did not stop them, and although their advance was slowed down, the vengeful emotions kept nearing in on them.
Xue Wei felt how the atmosphere turned gloomy and depressing, and he could not help but feel uncomfortable as his heart clenched in unease.
Throughout his long journey, no matter what he had faced before, he had felt that no matter what, he had to do his best and even if the result was death, he would not have any regrets.
However, these strange bodies made from vengeful emotions were slowly starting to penetrate his mind, and causing him to feel regretful, hateful, and unhappy. He began to feel indignant and negative, as he also cursed at the hidden enemy that they did not even know the identity of.
These emotions were starting to run out of control, and he did not even notice that they became more and more intense as the horde of strange emotional bodies neared in on them.
“Wake up!” Luoluo’s voice was full of pure spiritual energy, and it managed to cleanse the negative emotions and restore tranquility to the minds of those around them.
Xue Wei awoke from his strange overwhelming depression and anger, but when he looked back, he noticed how Luoluo’s expression had turned pale, and beads of sweat were dripping down her chin.
The call she had made was clearly not ordinary, not to mention she was already shackled by the overwhelming despair, so calling out like this had likely come at a great cost.
A dignified look appeared in Xue Wei’s eyes as he understood the severity of their current situation. He cast a quick glance at their current group, and found that although Ling Xiao and Hei Gou were slowing down the approach of the embodied emotions, they could not stop them.
At the same time, Luoluo and Bai Tianyi were both suppressed and unable to fight back, so they were truly facing a deadly attack.
Xue Wei could not avoid feeling helpless. Although they had faced many dangers before and been in various dangerous situations, he had always been able to fight back. Even if it had not been very effective, at least a few of their opponents would be harmed by their attacks. However, these embodied emotions simply kept grabbing other limbs or body parts and remade themselves while continuing their advance.
