Chapter 325 A worse feeling
by AshPurgatory2025“Hehe, such an exciting battle, why didn’t you summon me, your big sister?”
Qiu Ya’s playful laughter rang out.
“Qiu Ya, quick, use Dong Ya’s ability to freeze it!”
Si Yan said.
The golden symbol was fading, and Si Yan wanted Dong Ya to try to freeze it with her ability.
“Freeze” wasn’t quite the right word.
Dong Ya’s ability was more akin to solidifying a small area.
Naturally, this solidification would be less effective against stronger entities.
Si Yan didn’t know if it would work, but he had to try.
Currently, only Dong Ya possessed such an ability.
“Oh, you want her as soon as I arrive~”
Qiu Ya uttered a faint remark, and the next second, her hair had changed.
Dong Ya had emerged.
Then he saw that the golden symbol’s fading speed had rapidly slowed down!
“Princess, do you recognize this symbol?”
Inside the palace, Si Yan looked at the Princess.
At this moment, the golden symbol had been mostly fixed by Dong Ya.
But it was still continuously fading.
However, the fading speed was now extremely slow.
This allowed Si Yan to properly study the symbol.
Viewed from eight sides, the symbol presented eight different, very peculiar designs.
So peculiar that even Gui Creatures found them strange.
The Princess stared at the symbol for a while, then shook her head and said, “I don’t recognize it.”
Si Yan then looked at the Imperial Advisor.
The Imperial Advisor frowned slightly, then extended her delicate finger, pointing to one side of the symbol, and said, “This side seems familiar, but I can’t recall where I’ve seen it. As for the other sides, I have no impression whatsoever.”
Si Yan looked at the side the Imperial Advisor pointed to; it felt somewhat like a symbol.
Si Yan then looked at Princess Vera, who shook her head: “Teacher, I haven’t seen it. You can show it to the Vampire Saint Emperor; he might know.”
The Vampire Saint Emperor, huh?
It seemed none of them knew.
The Imperial Uncle and the Commander of the Imperial Guards also didn’t know.
Si Yan pondered for a moment, then took out a digital camera and began to photograph the symbol.
“Can’t photograph it?”
As he tried to take a picture, Si Yan realized he couldn’t capture the symbol at all.
After taking the photo with the digital camera, when he checked the picture, it was blank.
Si Yan wasn’t surprised; after all, it was something from the Horror Space.
Similar to some malevolent ghosts, they couldn’t be captured by a digital camera either.
With Si Yan’s memory, he could easily commit the symbol to memory.
Si Yan mused for a moment, then took out a paintbrush.
He was preparing to draw the symbol.
However, as Si Yan began to put brush to paper, his heart skipped a beat.
“I can’t draw it.”
Si Yan instantly realized this.
Looking at the golden symbol directly in front of him was fine.
Even Si Yan activating the Emperor Tianqian’s contingency plan using the Princess’s blood was fine.
But the moment Si Yan thought about drawing it, a huge problem arose.
This also, to some extent, indicated that this symbol was not purely the Emperor Tianqian’s contingency plan.
It was highly likely that the Emperor Tianqian had merely borrowed this golden symbol to set up his contingency.
Si Yan felt that if he insisted on drawing it, he would likely touch upon some taboo, and something very bad would happen.
In his premonition, this bad thing…
Felt even worse than what the Necromancer Queen had made him feel!
Although the Necromancer Queen was powerful, from beginning to end, Si Yan had never felt such an alarm in his body as he did now.
So Si Yan decisively stopped.
Then, he meticulously observed the golden symbol, committing it to memory.
Soon, all the details were thoroughly memorized by Si Yan.
At this moment, Si Yan sensed something else.
“Is this clinging to me now?”
Si Yan couldn’t help but wonder.
The reason for this thought was simple.
The Death Spirit Monarch’s curse had vanished with the Death Spirit Monarch’s self-detonation.
But one left, and another came.
The Death Spirit Monarch, who was even more powerful than the Death Spirit Monarch, had given Si Yan another curse.
This curse was even stronger than the Death Spirit Monarch’s curse.
The type of curse was also similar.
This curse would continuously grow stronger and stronger.
When it reached a certain intensity, the other party could open a passage and come to Si Yan’s side.
Due to the Necromancer Queen’s even more formidable strength, this curse wouldn’t become strong enough for her to cross over in a short time.
It would take at least five days.
Based on previous experience, this time would continuously shorten.
“Let her come if she wants.”
Si Yan didn’t care.
Just a curse.
It was perfect for practicing dispelling.
Besides, having a Necromancer Queen who constantly thought of him might be useful someday.
Of course, this time, the Necromancer Queen’s objective was much clearer; she was coming specifically for Si Yan.
Si Yan probably wouldn’t be able to use the Death Spirit Monarch as a tool as he had before.
“Your Highness, you’ve worked hard. In a few days, when I have some free time, I’ll come over to give you lessons~”
Inside the palace, Si Yan’s voice rang out.
Princess Vera shook her head: “Teacher, it’s nothing! These Death Spirits have grand schemes. I’ll go back and check the material; the Royal Library has a lot of information about Death Spirits. I’ll let you know after I’ve finished researching.”
Si Yan said, “Good.”
Princess Vera bid farewell.
“Sir, have you found anything?”
After Princess Vera left, the Princess looked at Si Yan with anticipation.
She wanted to ask if Si Yan had discovered anything about her father.
Si Yan shook his head and said, “Not yet. This symbol alone doesn’t provide much information. No one recognizes this symbol currently. After I return, I’ll see if anyone else recognizes it.”
“Thank you for your trouble, Sir.”
The Princess said.
Si Yan said, “It’s no trouble. You all should focus on recovering, especially Princess Wan. I will also find a way for the other Fiend Corpses.”
“Mhm!”
The Princess nodded heavily.
The recent events made the Princess feel somewhat disoriented.
Princess Wan’s recovery was a good thing.
But there were also many bad things.
The Family Alliance matter hadn’t been resolved yet.
Now there were Death Spirits.
Fortunately, the Necromancer Queen couldn’t come over, but who knew if the Death Spirits would return.
Furthermore, her father’s disappearance was not so simple.
Something must be involved behind it.
“Qiu Ya, you’ve worked hard.”
Si Yan then looked at Qiu Ya.
“Hehe, it’s nothing, hubby. Alright, I’m going back to continue my push for Ghost Saint~”
Qiu Ya said, both playful and somewhat gentle.
This was the result of the fusion of her and Dong Ya’s two personalities.
For over a month, Qiu Ya had been fully focused on breaking through to Ghost Saint, and Si Yan naturally helped her whenever he had time.
In fact, Si Yan planned to focus his efforts on Qiu Ya next.
For the Princess, the main goal was to raise the bond to 500, which would provide a fierce feedback.
Once Qiu Ya became a Ghost Saint-level Nether Soul, there would also be a fierce feedback.
After these two waves of feedback, Si Yan’s Mystic Warrior profession should be able to upgrade.
Qiu Ya also left.
In this palace, only Si Yan and the Shouyang Mountain zombies remained once again.
The Princess began to make arrangements.
The entire Shouyang Mountain also sprang into action.
Some of the recovered zombies flew out of the Shouyang Mountain Tomb and entered the surface of Shouyang Mountain.
They were going to rebuild the Tianqian Imperial City on Shouyang Mountain.
Their actions were bound to attract the attention of the various Zombie Families secretly monitoring Shouyang Mountain.
This was exactly the effect Si Yan wanted.
The more Shouyang Mountain made these moves, the later these Zombie Families, even if they formed an alliance, would take action.
In fact, there was another crucial point.
That was, although the Left Prime Minister was killed and he was a traitor, those few Zombie Families didn’t know that!
From the perspective of the Wang Family Ancestor and others, the Left Prime Minister was also a force of Shouyang Mountain.
They would estimate Shouyang Mountain’s strength to be higher.
They wouldn’t act rashly without mobilizing enough Zombie Families.
Therefore, Shouyang Mountain still had plenty of time.
Si Yan didn’t stay in this palace for too long either.
He went to treat Princess Wan once more, allowing her to recover more memories.
She could now recall some childhood events with the Princess.
“Thank you, Sir.”
Princess Wan said to Si Yan very gently.
【Ding! Congratulations to the host! The bond with the Princess has reached 500, granting one feedback.】
The system prompt appeared.
The bond between Si Yan and the Princess had finally reached 500.
And he successfully received a feedback.
Immediately after, Si Yan felt his body continuously strengthen.
In a short time, his physique and strength increased significantly.
His physique kept improving.
It quickly broke through 440 and was still rising.
During this period, Si Yan, with the help of the Crying Blood Gem given by the Vampire Saint Emperor, and other treasures, such as the jade pendant given by Ying Rui, and the treasure given by the Princess that could increase attributes every few days.
Coupled with the feedback from the girls, his own growth was also possible.
However, these were ultimately gradual improvements.
The Princess’s wave of feedback was truly fierce!
After the feedback ended, Si Yan saw that his physique had already reached over 440, just a few points short of 450.
Those few points would be gained in less than two days.
This wave also significantly boosted Si Yan’s strength, which had already surpassed 400.
With his physique reaching 450, Si Yan could already advance his Mystic Warrior to Mystic Berserker.
However, if Si Yan wanted to advance his Mystic Warrior to both Mystic Berserker and Shadow Warrior simultaneously, he would still need to increase his agility.
There was no rush, though.
In this wave, Si Yan also gained a skill from the Princess: Steel Bones and Copper Skin.
This skill was even more formidable than those gained from Ying Rui and Liu Yiyi through feedback.
However, its activation duration was limited, shorter than the skills obtained from Ying Rui and Liu Yiyi.
Upon activation, Si Yan’s skin would become equivalent to that of an Undying Bone.
His muscles and bones would become incredibly powerful.
Currently, ordinary firearms posed no threat to Si Yan whatsoever.
Even without these skills, his current physical fitness was equivalent to dozens of times that of an ordinary person, so common firearms could not threaten him at all. (End of chapter)
