Chapter 305 The Completely Mutated Sophia

While Irving and Shadow Celestial were locked in an argument, Sophia, who had entered the Abyss of Death first, was nearing its deepest point.

Before her lay an endless expanse of darkness, and at the far end of this darkness, there seemed to be a faint, elusive light. However, this light was so indistinct that Sophia found it impossible to determine whether Irving's presence was real or just a figment of her imagination.

Sophia was also feeling a certain amount of pressure.

Even though she didn't have to battle Elder Seville and Lawrence Elder was behind her, helping to fend off others, Sophia felt her own power rapidly dissipating since entering the Abyss of Death.

She didn't understand why this was happening.

But one thing was clear to her: this situation meant her circumstances were dire.

Each time Sophia considered turning back, the blood-red heart in her hand would grant her an extra surge of strength.

Looking down at the blood-red heart, she murmured to herself, "The power of the blood moon is incredibly strong. As long as I have the strength of the blood moon to aid me, I can reach the deepest part of the Abyss of Death. Once I obtain the powerful force hidden there, I will become an existence of unimaginable greatness!"

After transforming into a werewolf, Sophia had lost her rationality.

At this moment, all she desired was to gain greater power.

However, what she intended to do with that power once she obtained it was something she didn't even know herself.

The blood-red heart continued to beat steadily.

The energy of the blood moon flowed ceaselessly into Sophia's body.

It seemed that the power of the blood moon was limitless.

This provided Sophia with enough confidence to continue pushing forward through the darkness.

What she failed to notice was that the heartbeat of the blood-red heart was gradually slowing down.

Though the power of the blood moon was indeed formidable, the Abyss of Death absorbed energy at an even faster rate.

A significant portion of the blood moon's power had already been drawn in by the Abyss of Death.

Sophia pressed on in the darkness, eventually finding herself just a step away from the faint light that seemed to beckon her.

At that moment, she thought she heard Irving's voice.

"Don't go any further! If you continue, you will completely fall into the abyss! The Abyss of Death is fraught with danger; don't let yourself regret this choice!"

Irving's words brought some clarity back to Sophia's mind.

She pulled her hand back and scanned her surroundings with a wary gaze. "Could it be that what I just heard was an illusion? Or has the Abyss of Death begun to influence my consciousness?"

Sophia was deeply puzzled.

She thought it was impossible for her to encounter Irving here. Even if Irving moved quickly, he couldn't possibly outpace Elder Seville, who was right behind her.

Thus, Sophia first concluded that the voice she heard was likely an illusion created by the Abyss of Death; if not, it could have been an illusion conjured by Elder Seville.

Just as Sophia was momentarily confused and hesitating, the faint light ahead of her began to expand gradually.

Eventually, Sophia was completely engulfed by the light.

The blood-red heart she had been holding was also entirely consumed by this radiance.

Sophia realized that she was being restrained by an incredibly powerful entity.

She understood that she had fallen into a trap.

However, at this point, Sophia had no means to escape her predicament. She felt immense regret, realizing she should never have listened to Elder Lawrence's persuasion from the beginning.

As her consciousness was on the verge of fading away, she suddenly caught sight of the faint outline of a blood-red moon.

Sophia felt compelled to place all her hope in the power of the blood moon.

She reached out her hand and touched the blood-red moon that she barely perceived.

In that instant, the blood-red moon transferred into Sophia's body.

A chilling scream escaped her lips as the blood-red moon fully merged with her.

Sophia was completely transformed by the power of the blood moon into a werewolf.

But she was not just any werewolf; she had become the most powerful werewolf and, with the aid of the blood moon, had ascended to become the new Werewolf God.

As Sophia was utterly warped by the power of the blood moon, her strength surged dramatically.

Even the terrifying monsters lurking at the deepest depths of the Abyss of Death could not fully consume her.

With a blinding flash of white light, Sophia was expelled from the depths of the Abyss of Death by one of its monstrous inhabitants.

At this moment, Sophia was not yet completely under the control of the blood moon's power.

She still retained a final shred of rationality.

"Whoever you are, I will eradicate you completely! This is all your scheme! You deliberately lured me and the others here to steal our power!"

Sophia roared fiercely at the creature lurking in the depths of the Abyss of Death.

Sophia had come to realize that Elder Lawrence had not deceived her. He genuinely believed that there was an immensely powerful force at the deepest part of the Abyss of Death.

The true deceiver was, in fact, the monstrous being lurking in the depths of the Abyss of Death. This creature had also misled the members of the Night Blades.

Sophia actively allowed the power of the blood moon to completely engulf her, transforming her into a tall, imposing werewolf. She had been entirely altered by the blood moon's power.

She had undergone a complete mutation.

Now reappearing as a gigantic werewolf, Sophia swung her claws and launched an attack against the monstrous being at the deepest part of the Abyss of Death.

The creature, however, did not engage Sophia directly.

It merely probed Sophia's strength, testing her abilities.

Once it confirmed that Sophia was stronger than it, the monster retreated into hiding.

"Why are you such a coward? Aren't you going to face me in a final showdown? Haven't you been devouring other powers all this time? Do you think the strength I possess now is insufficient?"

Sophia continued to roar in anger toward the depths of the Abyss of Death.

But no matter what tactics she employed or what words she shouted, the monster did not reappear.

Since the creature from the depths of the Abyss of Death had no intention of fighting Sophia, and given that she was unable to pose a significant threat to it, the simplest course of action for Sophia was, of course, to leave as quickly as possible.

Utilizing the immense power of the blood moon, Sophia pushed her way toward the upper levels of the Abyss of Death.

However, she suddenly realized that her progress was exceedingly slow.

Before long, she encountered Elder Seville, who had been pursuing her.

Elder Seville had also sensed the violent surge of energy within the Abyss of Death.

But his intellect was quite limited; after all, this incarnation of Elder Seville possessed only a fragment of his soul.

Thus, he did not engage in much critical thinking.

The moment he spotted Sophia, Elder Seville launched an attack without hesitation.

Despite Sophia wielding the formidable power of the blood moon, she could not unleash her full strength against Elder Seville's assault.

She had to ensure that she retained enough energy to confront the monstrous being from the depths of the Abyss of Death. Find your next read at mvl

As the two battled, the Abyss of Death continued to undergo a series of changes.

Various energies swirling within the Abyss began to converge toward its deepest point.

It seemed that the monster at the bottom of the Abyss wanted to gather all of that power into one place.

As the energies began to converge toward the deepest part of the Abyss of Death, the others within it naturally sensed the shift in power.

In the strange town, Shadow Celestial and Irving reacted immediately.

"I think something significant has happened in the depths of the Abyss of Death! We might be able to use this opportunity to escape!" Irving said anxiously to Shadow Celestial.

Shadow Celestial's expression remained largely unchanged as he closed his eyes, seemingly attuning himself to the fluctuations of the various powers around him.

After a moment, Shadow Celestial opened his eyes and spoke slowly. "You're right, we should take advantage of this opportunity to choose our escape!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he positioned his hands in a peculiar manner.

A portal made of shadows suddenly materialized before Irving.

"As long as we pass through this portal, we can leave this place. But we will be entering the Abyss of Death directly. Are you really ready? If you are, then let's get moving," Shadow Celestial said, feeling a strong connection with Irving and wanting to discuss their plan before they acted.

Irving nodded eagerly. "I've been ready for a long time! We must enter the Abyss of Death!"

With that, Irving stepped through the portal.

The moment he crossed the threshold, he felt his body swept by a wave of dark energy, and the Taikoo Flame Pearl within him underwent a series of changes.

However, before Irving could fully assess the transformations occurring within him, he suddenly spotted Elder Lawrence not far away.

Elder Lawrence was the last person to enter the Abyss of Death, which is why he had only just arrived at Irving's location.

Upon seeing Irving, Elder Lawrence wasted no time and immediately launched an attack.

Within the Abyss of Death, both their powers were already in a state of continuous weakening. If they kept fighting each other, their decline in strength would accelerate even more.

Elder Lawrence seemed to disregard his own safety, pouring all his power into attacking Irving.

However, Lawrence's plan was destined to fail, as Shadow Celestial soon entered the fray. Shadow Celestial was very familiar with every one of Elder Lawrence's skills.

Quickly, Shadow Celestial helped Irving repel the first wave of Lawrence's attacks.

Elder Lawrence did not immediately launch a second assault; instead, he wanted to ascertain the identity of the person beside Irving. Until he figured out who Shadow Celestial was, Elder Lawrence would not take any further action lightly.
