On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

The skull in the jackal-like demi-human's hand, its crimson glow had evolved from a slightly pale one at the beginning to a deep, intense crimson, and now it was a hideous, dark reddish-brown.

This immense, turbid power seemed to reach its peak, and in the next moment, the skull finally couldn't withstand it and completely exploded.

At that very moment, the entire Sealed City seemed to be covered by a blood-red dome, and Loba, watching this scene, couldn't help but show his anticipation on the face of the Jackal Demi-human.

The blood sacrifice was successful.

His gamble, a desperate gamble, has actually paid off. The blood sacrifice now encompasses the entire Sealed City, and behind Loba...

A vague, ethereal figure began to solidify.

Logically, the summoning of the Forgotten Spirit should be instantaneous; it should manifest immediately from the moment the blood sacrifice is successful.

The phenomenon of something solidifying from a blurry phantom is extremely rare.

Loba was initially stunned and somewhat incredulous, but he quickly became ecstatic.

Very simple.

This proves that the quality of the "Forgotten Spirit" he summoned is absolutely beyond imagination, absolutely surpasses the normal level, the dangerous level, and is even very likely to be a top-grade Forgotten Spirit that has reached the "disaster level" right after "birth"!

"Hahahaha! I need more offerings!"

The entire turbidity of the sealed city was being absorbed by the Forgotten Spirit behind Loba, but Loba was still not satisfied. He couldn't wait any longer; he wanted to hasten the appearance of the Forgotten Spirit. A ruthless glint flashed in the jackal-like demi-human's eyes, and the next moment...

Ughhhh!

After the roar, Loba's body swelled up, his muscles bulged, fur replaced his skin, and even his head completely transformed into a jackal. After entering the "beast form", the three- or four-meter-tall Loba grabbed Leng She and Mayor Feng Ji, who were closest to him, in one hand, as if he were squeezing chickens. He didn't give them a chance to struggle at all, and with a forceful squeeze, he crushed their heads.

That wasn't the end of it. The two relic envoys who were next to Feng Ji also suffered the same fate. They couldn't escape the current Loba, whose strength had increased dramatically, and were brutally killed.

After killing four people, including three Calamities, and absorbing these Calamities, the Forgotten Spirit behind Loba, though far from being solidified, was at least no longer so blurry.

From his face to his clothing, the outline of the Forgotten Spirit was now clear.

With two ears standing upright on its head and a fluffy tail on its back, it's clear that this "Forgotten Spirit" is of demi-human race, and seems to be a cat-human.

Of course, he's a male cat-person.

This is quite common. Although it is a random summon, it also takes into account the caster himself. As a male demi-human, it is almost inevitable that Loba would summon a male demi-human forgotten spirit.

However, judging from the attire of this cat-person forgotten spirit, he doesn't seem to be a warrior.

On the silhouette's straight nose sat a pair of refined glasses, and he wore a slightly oversized trench coat with numerous pockets, as if designed to accommodate his owner's ever-present desire for more.

This forgotten spirit held no weapon, only a staff—or perhaps a combination of both. When at rest, it would stand there like a nobleman, but once in battle, it would wield the staff and transform into a mage, giving the impression of someone who could always remain calm and elegant.

Of course, in contrast to the seemingly frail and unassuming appearance of this forgotten spirit, which appears quite demure, a terrifying aura emanates from him.

Beside Liao Ji, 86's maid's eyes were flashing red alerts frantically. It should be noted that 86 had not been this nervous when facing Maria, who was possessed by Sciutia.

Even the usually carefree Irene was now unable to utter a single word due to the pressure. As a Calamity-Transformer, she could best understand just how powerful the ethereal spirit behind the jackal-like demi-human was. In front of it, even though she had already reached the "dangerous" level, she was still like an ant, completely on a different level.

If even Irene and 86 are like this, then the remaining Revolutionary Army soldiers on the scene are even more likely to be affected.

The slightly weaker demi-humans were directly crushed. The extremely high concentration of turbid pollution radiated from that "Spirit of Oblivion" was so intense that just looking at it felt like falling into an abyss. Even the strongest fox girl, Xi Yun, didn't even have the right to glance at that "Spirit of Oblivion." She could only lower her head and close her eyes tightly to resist the pressure of the turbid pollution.

satisfaction.

Loba was very satisfied with everyone's performance.

Prostrate before the forgotten spirit.

They submitted to the oppression of the past.

This is power, this is what he truly sought—the power of absolute rulership, the power from the higher world. Hmm! ?

"Varied!"

"How can you still do that!"

Loba's proud words came to an abrupt halt, and he even let out a gasp.

Because when he shifted his triumphant gaze from the Revolutionary Army and Lungmen Army soldiers who didn't even dare to raise their heads after the forgotten spirits appeared behind them, and turned to the surrounding area...

At this moment, one figure stood out in particular.

It's that aristocratic young man!

He was the only one standing there, still in that ordinary position. What Loba found even more unacceptable was that the other party dared to look in his direction and even stare directly at the Forgotten Spirit behind him!

Why!

This is the power of the "past"!

They were ancestors who survived in the terrifying wasteland world five hundred years ago!

How can you, a person living in this "inferior" greenhouse world that has lost its turbidity, stand upright before the spirit of oblivion and calmly meet its gaze?

Loba was filled with rage and was about to do something when he suddenly had to quickly suppress his emotions and concentrate all his mind.

because

He could sense that the forgotten spirit behind him was about to open its eyes.

"Opening the eyes" is the final step of the entire blood sacrifice summoning process, and it can also be said to be the most crucial step. During this time, the forgotten spirit will briefly possess consciousness and recreate the consciousness from five hundred years ago.

As the summoner, he must seize this brief moment, which is also the only opportunity for him to communicate with the spirit of the relic and gain the ancestor's approval as much as possible.

The more he is recognized, the higher the compatibility, and the more power of the Forgotten Spirit he can unleash when he is possessed in battle.

Loba focused his mind, even closing his eyes and shutting down all his senses, all in order to better communicate with the Spirit of Oblivion.

at last.

The forgotten spirit of the cat-people behind him slowly opened its eyes, and the ancient aura from five hundred years ago reached its peak at this moment. Loba began to fully perceive his forgotten spirit.

The first emotion conveyed by the spirit of oblivion is a brief period of confusion.

No problem, that's basically the first emotion of all the forgotten spirits when they are summoned.

Loba quickly sensed that the Spirit of Oblivion was beginning to look around and then very quickly focused its attention on one point, which was definitely him.

That's normal. After observing the environment, the Forgotten Spirit will definitely focus on him as the summoner; there can't be anyone else.

Loba was even secretly pleased.

The fact that the forgotten spirit noticed me so quickly and focused so intently shows that the ancestor was very interested in me! No, he really valued me!

Everything was normal here, exactly as the "old days" had taught them.

But next

Loba suddenly found it increasingly difficult to understand.

Surprised? Delighted? Astonished? Worried? Self-deprecating? Angry? Joyful, joyful, joyful?

In that brief moment, the spirit of oblivion was able to convey so many emotions!

This... this Loba has never heard of before!

Even those forgotten ones who possess "bloodline inheritance" shouldn't be able to summon forgotten spirits that would cause such intense emotional fluctuations in their ancestors!

Impossible

Am I truly so exceptionally gifted, so highly regarded by my ancestors?! To the point of such joy?!

Loba was so excited that his whole body trembled.

until

The Spirit of Oblivion spoke.

Was that a sigh that seemed to make up for some regret?

"The master has finally decided to take off his cloak."

Chapter 94 A Dialogue Spanning Five Hundred Years (Part 2)

Big, big, big! ?

The Forgotten Spirit actually called me "Sir"?!

And what about cloaks?! Cloaks?!

Loba doesn't remember wearing a cloak, does he?

What he understood even less was the Spirit of Oblivion's words.

Taking off a cloak is such a trivial matter, it's nothing at all. So why would it make the Spirit of Oblivion, an ancestor from five hundred years ago, sigh with emotion?

Loba was dumbfounded.

How could he possibly communicate with the spirit of oblivion? He couldn't understand his ancestor's thoughts at all.

But he won't have to worry about that for long.

because

"Ah!" Loba suddenly screamed in agony. The sensory connection he had painstakingly established with the Spirit of Oblivion was suddenly severed as if by a pair of scissors.

What terrified and baffled Loba even more was that this was the work of the Forgotten Spirit, the very spirit he had summoned.

People from the past had warned him about things like this before.

Indeed, some unlucky individuals will be unable to control the Forgotten Spirits they summon, either because they are incompatible with the Forgotten Spirits they summon, or because the Forgotten Spirits they summon are too powerful. Ultimately, the Forgotten Spirits will rebel, causing them to go out of control and rampage.

But the problem is, since the Spirit of Oblivion expressed such joy and rich emotions to me at the beginning, why is it now rebelling against me?

Loba, whose senses had been forcibly severed, felt as if someone had stabbed him hard in the brain. Yet, he forced himself to endure the excruciating pain and reopen his eyes, trying to bridge the gap between reality and the forgotten spirit behind him.

Um! ?

Where is he, and the forgotten spirit behind him?

Loba turned around with difficulty, only to find that there was nothing behind him. The ancient ancestors he had painstakingly summoned, who should have been there, were nowhere to be found!

wrong!

Yes. Yes

They ran right up to that young nobleman!

"you!!"
