“Puff~~”
Just like a rotten watermelon, the remarkably strong frenzied demon in front of Wen Yu had its head burst open in an instant, splattering red, white, and black in all directions, painting the space in front of Wen Yu with a myriad of colors.
Before the force dissipated, Vagil's headless corpse flew away in an arc, crashing down at the feet of a humanoid creature clad in black armor in the distance.
Its powerful body seemed to instinctively refuse to believe its sudden demise, as the broken form trembled uncontrollably, thick black blood, resembling oil, slowly oozed from the wound. The strong corrosive power made the ground sizzle, and at the same time, a rich stench wafted out.
Wen Yu wrinkled his nose in disgust and shook his head, finally taking the time to survey the situation in the entire space.
This space was exceptionally vast, but there were not many obstacles, with the loess ground compact and solid. The sky was gray and hazy, giving a surreal feeling.
In the distance, a humanoid creature draped in black armor was sitting on a chair, a nearly two-meter-long black giant sword resting at its feet. Two pure white beams of light quietly blossomed on the black helmet, resembling eyes, as it curiously observed Wen Yu standing before the teleportation passage.
Hovering above the black-armored figure was a half-spider man, covered in tumors, with a spider lower body and a humanoid upper body, silently crawling in the air above the black figure. The familiar aura immediately led Wen Yu to identify this strange creature — a soul creation.
At Wen Yu's feet lay the gruesome scene of Caius's squad queuing for death, with blood and severed limbs scattered everywhere, the thick smell of blood hitting the senses. Further away was the site where Caius had fallen.
Wen Yu frowned, sensing the teleportation fluctuations coming from behind, and calmly said, “Fran, your people died quite tragically…”
“Within expectations…”
Fran's voice sounded from behind Wen Yu. Then, Fran carefully examined the surrounding environment, squinting his eyes when he saw Caius's headless corpse.
As a limit breaker expert trained by the military, Walter and Caius were the two banners of the military in Tang Haofei's uncontrollable situation, and these two could not be carelessly discarded like pawns.
Thus, Fran fixed his gaze on Caius's corpse and slowly raised his right hand.
From Fran's right hand, a hazy silver light began to ripple, then the silver light burst forth like a brilliant flow, resembling a river of stars, cascading toward Caius's remains.
“You can save him?”
Seeing this, Wen Yu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised as he looked at Old Man Fran.
Fran merely nodded, his silver hair moving as if blown by the wind. Wen Yu couldn't shake the feeling that the wrinkles on Fran's face seemed deeper.
Time Rewind (race foundation level, active skill): Manipulating the power of time, altering the threads of time. Practitioners of this skill must have a profound understanding and detailed mastery of time (must possess a complete time skill system). Once mastered, you will become the master of time.
Note: Time follows principles of balance and equivalence; to use the power of time, you must pay a price...
The silver light fell upon Caius's corpse, and Wen Yu watched as the surrounding time seemed to freeze. The bloodstains scattered around Caius began to pulse before flowing back into his body.
In stark contrast to the scene of Caius's death moments ago, as the silver light danced, the moment Caius's body was crushed and his head blown away played out in reverse clearly before everyone’s eyes, until the dismembered Caius stood upright again, opened his eyes, and only then did Fran lower his arm, panting heavily in place.
Reviving the dead in the form of time reversal — this was theoretically the most likely process for perfect resurrection, and the current Fran was able to achieve this.
However, it seemed the price was quite high…
