Chapter 71 - Anomaly

After a while through countless different cave passages, the three of them had finally arrived at a very large lava cave, unlike any previous lava cave they had been through.

In the center of the cave was a lava lake that was about ten meters in size, and the surroundings of the lava lake turned out to be more than 100 red fire lotuses that were blazing like flames. If someone got close, that alone could make the three of them extremely hot.

“Here… How can there be so many red fire lotus spiritual plants?!”

Prince Alfreed and Chiaki felt very surprised after seeing the red fire lotus spiritual plant in this place like a large garden belonging to someone who had a high status within the secret service organization.

“This hundred fire lotus spiritual plants should be enough for the growth that the Son of Fire Battle Soul has!” William only needed to think for a while after seeing how many red fire lotus spiritual plants were in front of him. Then Him began to take out the sharp white bones in both of his palms and began to pick up one of the red fire lotuses that was nearby.

But unfortunately, just as William was about to reach the red fire lotus spiritual plant that was nearby, Him felt a loss of control over his body. No, perhaps rather it all came from the depths of his soul.

"What is going on?!" William's expression immediately turned gloomy upon learning that an unknown anomaly had begun to occur within his soul sea.

Then with curiosity, William's consciousness began to enter his soul sea to examine the cause of the anomaly.

William was very surprised after his consciousness had entered his soul sea, Him seeing the figure of the man in the red robe Son of Fire Battle Soul that was in his soul sea had opened his eyes. Then the red book that was in the red-robed figure's hand began to shine brighter than before.

As the red book shone brightly, a large amount of red mist slowly started to escape from within the red book. That large amount of crimson mist had not only spread within William's sea of souls, even the outside had been shrouded by the crimson mist.

"What's with this red mist? Where did this red mist come from?” Prince Alfred asked curiously, but upon hearing the hissing sound like a burning object, Him instantly turned wary.

Then Prince Alfreed subconsciously looked at William who was still standing at the center of the red mist.

“William, why don't you move from there?! Come back here quickly, otherwise you will die!” Prince Alfreed's facial expression immediately turned gloomy after seeing the red mist of unknown origin, Him thinking that the red mist was from a tier 8 Soul Beast that the three of them were wary of.

In just a few seconds, the red mist emanating from the red book held by the Son of Fire Battle Soul had enveloped the location of the lava cave passage where William was.

In Prince Alfreed's view, William had just been swallowed up by the red mist, and had no chance at all to escape the mysterious red mist.

Even Chiaki who was very worried about William couldn't even move near William because the heat emitted from the mysterious red mist was too terrifying.

Even with his innate observational talent, Her couldn't see where William was at all because it was covered in the mysterious red mist.

"AHHH!!! If only my cultivation base was a little higher than this, maybe I could rush over to save the young master! What exactly happened just now?! Why did the red mist suddenly appear out of nowhere when the young master took one of the red fire lotus spiritual plants? Is this one of the dangers created by the secret service organization that young master mentioned earlier?!” Chiaki screamed with anger and helplessness, as if Her was releasing her negative emotions at her weakness.

At this moment, an extremely calm and cold voice began to sound in the ears of the angry Chiaki.

“I also don't know what exactly is the red mist that is in front of us! Actually there are two possibilities that occurred in my mind, the first is that this red mist is one of the barrier formations used by secret service organizations to eliminate intruders! Just by looking at it, we can tell that this is the area that the higher ups of the secret service organization are guarding.” Prince Alfred walked up to Chiaki with his soul artifact wooden piano, Him just looked at the scene in front of him with an indifferent expression.

"You!!! How are you can watch it in peace?! Do you actually have no intention of saving the young master?!” Chiaki looked at Prince Alfreed with hostility, his attitude completely changed 180 degrees from his previous polite attitude.

When Prince Alfreed heard Chiaki's hostile shout, Him only glanced at him slightly before ignoring his hostility and saying, "I didn't join William's organization not only because of the offer, but I want to see if the power that William possesses is worthy of being my leader!"

But before Chiaki could respond back to Prince Alfred's words, Him continued, “Shut up and listen to what I have to say first! You're a Spirit Warrior who's inexperienced with the outside world, that's why you don't know anything about luck!”

When Chiaki heard Prince Alfreed's words, the anger inside him suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a fluster, “Luck?”

“Yes, that is a second possibility that I mentioned earlier. Don't you remember the sudden appearance of the image symbol on William's forehead after absorbing the red fire lotus spiritual plant? Most likely William just activated a certain condition to increase the ability he already has!” Prince Alfred subconsciously looked at the mysterious red mist in front of him with an envious expression plastered on his face.

After hearing Prince Alfreed's words the angry expression on Chiaki's face began to calm down again, her unconsciously wiped the tears that were dripping from her cheeks.

“Prince Alfreed, but that's all just a guess right? What if all those guesses turn out to be incorrect, and something happens to the young master?” Chiaki turned to Prince Alfred with his bloodshot eyes.

"Yeah, it's all just a guess. Even if an accident were to happen to William, then I can say nothing more than to leave this place and walk alone for my revenge.” Prince Alfred shrugged his shoulders, Him subconsciously glanced at Chiaki with pity.

If it turns out that William really has died due to this unexpected accident, then Chiaki's fate will be more bleak and pathetic than his own.

When Chiaki heard that, Her didn't say anything else and just lowered her head.

Then after a moment of silence, Chiaki raised his face. The expression on his face was not as sad as Prince Alfred had imagined, but instead his expression suddenly turned stern as if Her had made a very difficult decision.

“Prince Alfreed, I will give you all the soul energy I have. If I do that, will you be able to step in to save the young master from the mysterious red mist?” Chiaki said in a heavy tone as if he had made a difficult decision, but his eyes were so firm as if his decision was irrevocable.

“Giving all your soul energy to me?! But if you do that….” Prince Alfreed who heard that immediately looked at Chiaki with a surprised look, it was because Him never expected Chiaki to use forbidden methods to channel soul energy to others.

Because if the soul energy is given to another person's body, then the spirit warrior who gives the soul energy will never be able to absorb spiritual energy again because his soul sea has been polluted by foreign energy.

You could say it was the tragic end of a Spirit Warrior's journey. Breaking the path of the future only for others, it was something that neither the Spirit Warriors who had the responsibility nor the dream of pursuing the pinnacle of the world would do.

Although channeling soul energy to others sounds scary, it doesn't mean it's impossible. As long as the person channeling his soul energy to others uses a special method, then there won't be any side effects.

"Don't worry too much about the side effects, this is one of my innate talents!" Chiaki shook her head, then her continued her sentence by looking into Prince Alfreed's eyes, “This is the only way I can save young master! But all this depends on the Prince, whether to accept my offer or not!”

Upon seeing that gaze, Prince Alfred subconsciously sighed, “Alright, I'll accept your offer! What's more, with William's hidden power, it's very likely that Him will still survive in the crimson fog."

However, before waiting for Chiaki to initiate his special method of channeling soul energy into Prince Alfreed's body. The red mist that enveloped the entire cave passage in front of him.

Began to rapidly shrink and turn into an enormous vortex which was instantly absorbed into William's body.

All of the red fire lotus spiritual plants began to dissipate along with the crimson mist, as if they had just been sucked in by the strange power within William's body.

Glup!

Chiaki gulped with wide eyes after seeing the scene unfolding in front of him, “The entire red fire lotus spiritual plant… Was it all just absorbed by the young master?!”

Not only Chiaki, even Prince Alfreed who had experience traveling in the outside world was also shocked after seeing the events that unfolded before his eyes.

So many of the red fire lotus spiritual plants instantly disappeared and were sucked into William's body. Him couldn't help but mutter softly to what was on his mind, "William... What other surprises are you going to give the two of us in the future?"
