The moment the divine power was activated, Rachelle's mind was cleared as she felt awakened.
At that moment, her instincts kicked in, telling her to look at the infant. So she did, her gaze slowly moving in that direction while she felt herself shaking. She took a deep breath of cold air as a look of sheer shock overtook her beautiful face.
There was no small boy in front of them; it was a queer-looking fellow quietly laying on the floor. With greenish-tinted skin, a sharp face, and long eyes that revealed a vicious ray, his thin lips curled up into a scary, frightening grin.
The dark cyan long robe was made out of an unknown material. It was wrinkled and shiny, as though the creature was wearing a coat made out of lizard skin. This was a character straight out of a horror book.
The thing that shocked Rachelle the most…was that the cries did not come from the creature's mouth.
It was from the belly instead!
"Waa…waa… Waa…waa…"
The belly of the creature rose and fell regularly as the pitiful cries of a baby rang out. There was a clear contrast between the crying and the creature's appearance, which proved to be a frightening sight.
Rachelle's heart raced rapidly in nervousness and bewilderment. How could there be such a queer-looking being in this world? Was this a human or a monster?
She did not know the history of The Nine Mainland dated so far back that there were many fellows and things like Scitalis existing in this world. The being in front of her was not a monster but a transmogrified spiritual serpent instead.
Every creature in this world had a soul, and the name of this spiritual serpent was Scitalis.
2000 years earlier, Scitalis had cultivated enough power to transform into a human. Due to his extraordinary ability, Scitalis was subdued by Emperor Hou Yi to serve at his side, which was his proudest moment.
Scitalis was even conferred the title of Commander-in-chief of the Royal City, ranking together with Grandmaster Erlang and the rest of the strong people. Scitalis' future was beyond infinity.
Unfortunately, Scitalis' prowess was just as powerful as his lust. Because of this, he failed his mission many times, and there came a moment when he was so bold as to voyeur Lady Chang Er. Emperor Hou Yi burned with rage upon finding out and had Scitalis punished and ousted from the Royal City.
After Yennie taught Scitalis a lesson, she cast a forbidden divine energy curse on Scitalis and dumped him into the abyss.
Due to the forbidden divine energy curse, Scitalis could not see the sunlight; his body would burn to death upon contact. Therefore, Scitalis was trapped in the pit of the abyss.
For thousands of years, he tried to devise many methods to leave this cave and return to the outside world, but nothing worked.
Within those thousand years, many elites of the community had accidentally fallen into the abyss and decided to explore.
With his ruthless nature, Scitalis would not let them go so easily. In the beginning, Scitalis would fight face-to-face with those elites of the community who came to explore and crush them with his powerful ability. Gradually, he realized that these elites were no weaklings. Even if Scitalis won the fight, the recovery period was very long.
Once he realized this, Scitalis began studying the surroundings, wanting to utilize everything to kill people. Soon, he discovered the dark cyan igneous rocks could not only glow, but those rocks could disperse a special type of fog. No matter how strong the cultivators were, as long as they inhaled the fog long enough, they would start to hallucinate.
