Chapter 1179 - Spirit Rinsing (2)
Rhode extended his arm, while his younger sister who sat opposite him also stretched her right arm forward. Both of them drew a circle in midair and two golden lines emanated from their fingertips swiftly. Shortly after, two exquisitely gorgeous magical rituals appeared out of thin air, spinning as they closed in on Lilian. The little girl began to float off the bed, gnashing her teeth as she looked as white as a sheet. A translucent, human-shaped bubble emanating a hazy glow emerged from her body, gradually breaking away from her. That was Lilian’s spirit and also her essence. At the same time, her right arm turned pitch-black like a rotten and decomposed matter.
This looks really serious.
After separating Lilian’s body and spirit, Rhode and his younger sister couldn’t help but exchange looks, spotting the shock and uncertainty in each other’s eyes. It seemed like Marybelle’s concerns weren’t groundless. After materializing Lilian’s spirit, the group witnessed silks of darkness proliferating from her right arm and spreading to other parts of her body. It was like a stain on white jade, subtle yet glaring. Looking at this scene, Rhode’s heart sank. Even though he knew how hard it was to deal with Chaos, he didn’t expect things to be this tough.
“What should we do, Big Brother?”
“Subdue the Chaos presence, force it back, and we will activate the spiritual rinsing again. Then, Marybelle will be in charge of eradicating it. Is that alright?”
Rhode gave a command quickly. Upon hearing his order, Marybelle nodded gently and retrieved her magic wand. Rhode glanced at the depressed Anne, Lize, Sonia, and the rest at the side, before shaking his head.
“All of you should wait outside.”
“Why, Leader? We want to cheer on Lilian too.”
Anne asked in displeasure as upon hearing Rhode’s command, they were bewildered. However, Rhode apparently had no intention of granting them this opportunity. He looked briefly at Anne and shook his head.
“Best not to do that. The agony of the spiritual rinsing isn’t tolerable for most people. Lilian may turn into a totally different person, so I think leaving her alone will be a relief for her. If you witness her losing self-control, I suppose she will never be willing to meet you again in her whole life.”
But at the same time, Lilian let out a startling scream. She widened her mouth and yelled as though she were being slaughtered. Her eyes had rolled to the back completely. The immense pain made her lose control of her muscles as saliva flowed down the corners of her mouth. At that moment, Lilian was no longer that childish, innocent little girl. She was like an injured and frantic beast instead.
“Lilian, hang in there!”
Rhode was startled to witness Lilian’s reaction. He raised his right arm hurriedly and along with this movement, Lilian’s mouth was as though blocked up by something and her screams were muffled. This was meant to prevent her biting off her tongue from the uncontrollable torment. But now, Rhode had no time to waste. The longer the delay, the more pain Lilian would be in. What made matters worse was that since this ritual was conducted on her spiritual essence, Lilian couldn’t avoid the agony by letting her body go unconscious. All she could do was to accept and tolerate everything passively.
“Get ready to rinse her spirit!”
Along with Rhode’s order, the young lady standing opposite him closed her eyes. Shortly after, a bright, dazzling magical ritual expanded from the rune hovering above Lilian, enfolding the little girl completely. Then, Lilian’s spirit gradually became indistinct.
“———! ———!”
At that moment, Lilian’s eyes rolled to the back of her head like a dying fish. Her limbs convulsed and her body palpated at the intense and stimulating pain. Pale yellow liquid escaped from between her legs. In this extreme torture, no one could avoid revealing their most hideous side. Fortunately, Marlene had led the rest away from the room. If not, it was unimaginable how they would properly face Lilian in the future after witnessing this unsightly scene.
The pure white spirit faded away gradually like snow melting under the sun. At that moment, Lilian had lost all her strength. Her petite body was arched over, while her legs thrashed. They couldn’t see her usual appearance from that now twisted and painful expression. Although Rhode blocked off her mouth to stop her from screaming, the little girl continued to let out deep growls in her throat like a wounded beast.
“Argh———! Argh—! Argh———!”
We need to hurry!
Gazing at Lilian’s expression that was turning ashen, Rhode became increasingly anxious. There was a limit to all tolerance. If Lilian’s body couldn’t handle the pain, she would collapse entirely. Despite Rhode’s distress, he continued to carry out the ritual accordingly with his hands. Under the power of Rhode and his younger sister, Lilian’s spirit and body were rinsed completely. The black spots and thin silks were all gone, leaving behind a white, sacred spirit emanating a gentle and bright glow.
“Phew…”
Looking at this scene, Rhode heaved a long sigh of relief. It seemed like despite the pain Lilian was in, she managed to hold on and protect her spiritual essence. If her spiritual essence crumbled thoroughly, her spirit could never fuse into its original state. Rhode and his younger sister exchanged looks with each other and withdrew their hands. Along with this motion, the spirit hovering above descended and entered Lilian’s body slowly. In just a few moments, it fused with the body perfectly. Lilian also stopped wrestling and fell into a deep sleep.
Rhode nodded in satisfaction.
Seems like it’s over.
