Chapter 35: The Power of Reversal

The Void-Reality conversion of the God-Burying Society members was strange and unpredictable.
Cain’s ferocious attacks repeatedly missed.

And Abraham’s contract, which traded injury for life, although it instantly killed two people, also cost him a lot of life force.
His face became even paler.

「Holy Blood Contract · Regeneration」

Lilith extended her five fingers towards Abraham, and a blood-red light enveloped them both.

Abraham’s pierced heart throbbed violently, and the wound grew rapidly, pushing out the bone blade.

A hint of color returned to Abraham’s face, his joyful smile not diminishing in the slightest.

It was unclear whether it was the intense pain from his heart recovering, or the satisfaction of his life force being replenished.

“Annoying insects!”
Cain roared, his bone claws tearing through the air, creating a piercing shriek, but he couldn’t harm the God-Burying Society members before him at all.

The remaining three members of the God-Burying Society, although they cooperated tacitly, had a solemn expression on their faces.

The mad dog and the shepherd before them were not easy to deal with.
They had originally thought that even if the Holy Blood Royal Court had reinforcements, the people who came would not have much combat power.

The target was protected by a barrier and could not be broken through in a short time.
But as long as the contractor who cast this contract died, this contract could also be invalidated.

The leader’s hoarse voice came from under his mask, “Forget that mad dog! Concentrate your fire and kill the shepherd first!”

「Void-Reality Contract · Abyss Maw Summoning」

Buzz—!

A purple-black light gathered in his palm.
The space seemed to be torn open a crack, and a strange, decaying aura spread out.

The other two also moved at the same time:

「Void-Reality Contract · Shadow Bind Chain」

One of them pressed his hands on the ground, and several chains made of pure shadow shot out from the shadow under Cain’s feet!

They instantly entangled his ankles and calves!
With the imprisoning power of the Void Abyss, Cain’s movements suddenly froze.

「Void-Reality Contract · Corrupting Poison Breath」

The third person blew hard in Abraham’s direction, and a gray-green poisonous mist rushed towards Abraham.

The blood mist Abraham had released before was essentially his own fresh blood.
If it were to be entangled with this poisonous mist, it would take him a lot of time to clear this poison.

The situation was critical.
At this crucial moment, Bai Jin, who had been closely watching the battle, the obscure light in her eyes lit up again!

The 『Reversal』 authority deep within her soul operated crazily, and in her vision, she instantly captured the names of the three contracts.

[Contract about to be activated Detected: 「Void-Reality Contract · Abyss Maw Summoning」]

[Contract in effect Detected: 「Void-Reality Contract · Shadow Bind Chain」]

[Contract being generated Detected: 「Void-Reality Contract · Corrupting Poison Breath」]

‘Now is the time!’

Bai Jin did not hesitate in the slightest.
A powerful power of rules instantly locked onto the target!

The power of her authority descended silently, forcibly twisting the locked contracts!

The person who was casting the summoning spell suddenly convulsed violently!

The purple-black light gathered in his palm, instead of opening the summoning channel, rolled back like an out-of-control vortex, crazily devouring his own flesh and blood!

“Ugh!! What’s going on?!”
The roar from under his mask turned into a terrified scream.

He realized that the price the contract required him to pay had changed!

From sacrificing his flesh and blood, it had become sacrificing the Void Abyss Bones?!

The essence of a Void-Reality Contract was to create non-existent things and devour existing things.

And for him to directly sacrifice the Void Abyss Bones that had not been summoned made him once suspect if there was something wrong with the contract?

This was a complete logical conflict, forming a dead loop!

So, the backlash of the contract descended!
His arm withered at a visible speed, as if its life force had been sucked away by an invisible monster.

He was forced to sacrifice a part of his own flesh and blood, yet he had summoned nothing, and had instead been severely injured by the backlash of the contract’s power!

On the other side, the shadow chains wrapped around Cain’s legs suddenly flashed!

But this time, it was no longer to bind Cain, but to tighten in the opposite direction, following the connection between the caster and the contract, and instantly wrapping around that person’s own legs!

“What?!”
The person entangled by his own spell was horrified.

He tried to turn his body into a mist again to dodge, but found that the imprisoning power of the contract was also acting on himself!

His feet seemed to be held firmly by his own shadow, unable to move, becoming a prisoner of his own contract!

And the gray-green poisonous mist rushing towards Abraham, when it was only a few feet away from him, its trajectory took a strange turn!

The poisonous mist suddenly turned around and swept back in the direction it came from at an even faster speed!

“No!!!”
The last person let out a desperate scream.
He desperately tried to disperse the poisonous mist, but found that his control over the contract had been taken away!

The poisonous mist, which originally required him to guide it with his mental power, was now being forcibly acted upon himself by a power!

Pfft pfft—

The gray-green poisonous mist completely enveloped him!
His cloak and skin instantly made a corroding sound, and a pungent white smoke rose.

The intense pain made him scream and roll on the ground.
Under the effect of the intense pain and the backlash of the contract, he had completely lost the ability to turn into a mist.

The battlefield situation was instantly reversed!

The restraints on Cain’s legs disappeared, and his whole body was filled with surging power.
He seized the opportunity.

His huge body shot out like a cannonball, viciously clawing at the immobile target!
And this time, there was no mist transformation to save him!

“Die for me!”

Claws sank into flesh, bones shattered!

That member of the God-Burying Society didn’t even have time to scream before his upper body was almost torn to pieces by the ferocious power!
Flesh and blood flew everywhere!

A hint of surprise appeared on Abraham’s slightly colored face.
He didn’t even look at the guy rolling on the ground, poisoned, but locked his gaze on the leader of this group.

「Holy Blood Contract · Boiling Blood Curse」!

Abraham elegantly raised his right hand and pointed at that person from a distance.
The blood mist floating around his body locked onto the target and shot towards him!

There was no earth-shattering momentum, but after the leader was entangled by this blood mist, he felt the blood in his body ignite.

The blood vessels under his skin throbbed violently, and the blood inside began to boil crazily!

The blood vessels in his withered arm ruptured, and fresh blood mixed with flesh and blood sprayed out.
He clutched his arm and knelt on the ground in pain.

“It’s over.”
Abraham’s voice was cold, with a tone of judgment.

He raised his arm again, the crimson contract light flashing, preparing to deliver the final blow.

However, a pitch-black, viscous substance enveloped him, then continuously shrank and disappeared into the void.

On the field, only the one enveloped in his own poisonous mist was still screaming.
Lilith replenished the life force of the two of them.
With a flash of blood-red light, their condition was restored to its peak.

Bai Jin panted slightly.
Continuously reversing three contracts just now had consumed a lot of her mental power.
The battle was over, and she quickly analyzed in her mind.

The summoning spell that the leader wanted to cast had the price of sacrificing his own flesh and blood, but the reversed effect directly invalidated the summoning.

And the effect of the already effective contracts was even more direct.
It was as if Bai Jin had taken their contracts out of thin air.

The potential of 『Reversal』 seemed to be even greater than she had imagined.
