An Astral Beast was on the verge of awakening!

This was a terrifying crisis for Feinan

Although Marvin speculated that Eric's soul ht not have been coed with the Astral Beast, this was only a hypothesis

Not to e, who knehat kind of changes thereat Orica's hands?

Thein this world wasn't destructive power, but rather, the one who possessed such power and whether that person would be able to control it

In the Astral Beast Reer

A lifeforce was rousing Even though the corpse was still lying inert, it gave thereat deal of pressure!

"No good, let's hurry!"

Ivan looked incredibly worried

This was the guy who dared to fight the Ancient Red Dragon Ell, but in front of this Astral Beast, even he had an ugly expression!

It showed how terrifying an Astral Beast was!

The tere going to quickly withdraw, hoping they could leave the Secret Garden before the Astral Beast awakened completely

But at that time, a weak voice spoke into their ears "Don't… leave"

"I won't hurt anyone…"

It was quiet, but extremely firm

"Eric?" Marvin asked

"You know radually beca fro

Marvin nodded

Eric sighed, "Teacher already died? If I', he must have died at your hands"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to wake up"

"It's a pity… I won't be able to hold on for too long"

Marvin and Ivan glanced at each other This Astral Beast in front of the Astral Beast was a see

They stopped and forced themselves to communicate with Eric

Soon, Marvin understood what had beenfrom the known history:

Eric destroyed the soul transfer ritual and was crushed by Orica out of anger

He should have died

But at that ti, unexpectedly saved him

The instinct-driven Astral Beast knew that its soul couldn't keep going It had fought two uniinably hard battles one after the other and then Orica had used a special trick to drain the power from its soul It couldn't survive anymore

Thus, it used its final bit of power to enclose Eric's soul fragment in its body

The Astral Beast's body locked Eric's soul inside, not allowing it to drift away His soul gradually fused with the Astral Beast's body over the years thanks to the body's frightening vitality

In fact, he had already woken up a long tio

His soul had completely fused and he was also able to control the body

But he wasn't allowed to actually wake up

Because Orica was still there, and so was the original soul contract

Orica could crush Eric's soul with just a thought

What angered Orica was that the Astral Beast had put a terrible curse on its own body before dying

Besides Eric, who he had chosen to save, no soul was allowed in

And Eric's soul couldn't be ree of time, Eric recovered countless ti his soul ruthlessly obliterated again by Orica!

He was continuously tortured as his soul was crushed and refor people could endure

But Eric ed to withstand it

He eventually realized that he could just remain in a slumber and not awaken unless Orica died, so that he would no longer have to suffer fro crushed

Now that his teacher had finally been killed by Ivan, he could awaken safely

The only unfortunate thing was that after the endless years, his soul had suffered too er

The Astral Beast's body was strong, yet the nourishive to the soul was limited

He could feel that he didn't have much time left

"I don't knohat era it is"

Eric smiled bitterly "How many years have I stayed in this Astral Beast's body? A millennium? Two?"

"My friends have already passed away?"
