BXBX NOVEL Chapter 389 Creepy Area
Velian trailed behind the tamer, his mind filled with a torrent of thoughts, each one more perplexing than the last.
He couldn\'t help but ponder over the enigma that consumed him—how these individuals willingly embraced the intrusion of parasitic cells into their very beings. It was a transformation that defied the boundaries of humanity, a metamorphosis where their essence seemed to vanish into the abyss.
\'What made them give up their humanity? Was it easy for them? Well, for Andriya, it was an easy choice I guess\'
Velian thought while walking along the gravel path.
As they ventured deeper into the dimly lit forest area, Velian\'s curiosity burned brighter, even as trepidation gnawed at his core. He couldn\'t deny the allure of forbidden knowledge that beckoned him forward, drawing him into the heart of this arcane ritual.
The tamer, an experienced guide through the realms of the unknown, turned back to Velian, sensing the turmoil within his thoughts.
He was trying to find a way to escape from the shackles that held him back, but seeing Velian\'s power, he knew it would be no easy task.
"You\'re pondering the nature of our transformation, aren\'t you?" the tamer\'s voice carried a weight of understanding, and yet a tinge of caution.
He wanted to find out more about Velian, so he could use it against him.
"This is a path chosen by few, yet embraced by those seeking power beyond mortal comprehension. Their humanity is eclipsed by the symbiotic dance between their bodies and these parasitic cells."
Velian hesitated for a moment, his voice a whisper amidst the echoes of the forest since he was interested to know what caused these people to accept this absurd proposal. "But what becomes of them? Are they forever lost to their former selves? And why do you people choose this path?"
A wistful smile curved the tamer\'s lips, tinged with a hint of melancholy. "It is a delicate balance, you won\'t understand. Some, indeed, succumb to the darkness within, their minds consumed by the primal instincts of the berserk demons."
Velian\'s eyes widened with a mixture of awe and trepidation.
"Berserk demons? You mean... they become one of the races from the original demons, but more ferocious, more dangerous?"
Velian already knew about this but this was the first time he heard his from the mouth of a victim.
The tamer nodded, his gaze piercing into Velian\'s soul.
"Indeed. The parasitic cells amplify our strengths and our abilities but at a cost. Ourand souls become restless, their sanity teetering on the edge of oblivion. They are unleashed as primal forces of chaos, wielding power that could shatter worlds."
Velian felt rather disturbed, and fear and fascination coursing through his veins. "Then why would anyone willingly subject themselves to such a fate? Why did you do that? What are your trying to accomplish here?"
The tamer\'s eyes glinted with ancient wisdom. "What else is power? The allure of power can drive even the noblest of hearts to make questionable choices. Some seek revenge, others crave immortality, and a few simply yearn to transcend the limitations of mortality itself and some odd people do this so they can make their loved ones come back from death,"
The tamer said those words, as he remembered the promise about what would happen once they successfully become the vessel to the demon lord.
"But be warned, for this path is fraught with danger, and only those with the strongest wills and unshaken intentions can hope to retain their humanity amidst the chaos."
Velian absorbed the tamer\'s words, his mind swirling with conflicting emotions. The journey ahead seemed both enticing and terrifying, an abyss from which there might be no return.
But as they were talking, they managed to arrive at the edge of the village, which connected to the wood with a creepy-looking entrance into the forest.
\'If I can run-\'
The tamer thought as he looked at the entrance of the forest, but his expectation was quickly broken down as Velian said it won\'t be any use even if he tried to do that.
After all, as long as he has the necklace, which he cannot be touched by him, Velian had various ways to bring him back or just kill him on the spot without even shedding blood.
After giving up hope, the tamer decided to wait for a better chance to kill Velian and escape, but he felt uneasy for some reason.
Their eyes darted from person to person, searching for any signs of those who, like the tamer, had embraced the parasitic cells. Velian studied each face intently, seeking a trace of the transformation that altered their humanity.
"Hmmm~ this is strange,"
As they approached the cluster of individuals seated near the village\'s edge, a sense of unease settled upon Velian. Something felt amiss, an unsettling presence that whispered through the air.
He narrowed his gaze, observing the figures more closely, and to his growing horror, he noticed the intricate threads that bound them together and their bodies were half eaten by something which caused them to rotten.
"These people..." Velian\'s voice was laced with apprehension as he spoke to the tamer. "Look at them—their bodies, their limbs... they\'re entangled in webs! But how?"
Velian remembered what the old man said this area was supposed to be the place where sick people or people with infectious diseases used to live, but he never expected to find something so creepy in this place.
The tamer\'s eyes widened in alarm, his struggle against his restraints intensifying. "No, it cannot be! They have become fodder for the arachnids, merging with the essence of spiders! We must retreat, quickly!"
He instantly recognised as he was supposed to be a monster tamer.
Adrenaline coursing through his veins, Velian took a step back, his gaze shifting upwards.
And there, hanging ominously from an enormous web, was a grotesque spider-like creature, its multifaceted eyes fixated upon them. It\'s sheer size and eerie intelligence sent a shiver down Velian\'s spine.
The tamer\'s voice quivered with urgency.
"Release me! I don\'t want to become food to this thing, it is a cell user that lost its mind, it will attack anything it encounters,"
But Velian wasn\'t going to let this thing create a mess out of this peaceful village.
"Time to clean this place and kill all the spiders,"
