Absolute Resonance

cking out of his shoulder blades.

His hair had turned completely red as well, and it was slick with fresh blood.

“Trying to get back to school? The bell hasn't rung yet…” he said with spiteful glee.
“And…
do you see what you've just snapped?”

Li Luo and the others looked down and blinked in surprise.
Somehow, they were not holding spirit mirrors, but fragments of bone instead.

“An illusion!” Lu Ming hissed.

Li Luo was shocked.
Was the crimson knight-general strong enough to apply an illusion on all of them?

“Today, I am reborn.
How could I allow my guests to leave during such a grand occasion? Witness quietly,” he sneered.
He opened his mouth and a spray of blood fountained in the sky, trickling down as a veil that blanketed across all of them.

“You won't find your real spirit mirrors here.
None of you can leave,” the crimson knight-general said with an imperious flick of his hand.

All of them opened their pocket spheres, checking their possessions.

Every single one of their possessions had turned into spirit mirrors.

“What an illusion.
This is even stronger than what the Bloodtailed Other was capable of,” Lu Ming said in a low tone.

Jing Taixu was looking ill.
They were like children when facing a Greater Heavenly Resonance expert.

Li Luo had to suck back the breath that he had huffed out in relief.
Damn, it was emergency time.

The crimson knight-general was far stronger than the Bloodtailed Other had been, and none of them could deal with him.

“We're all gonna dieeeeeeeeeeeee here, aren't we? It's too soon! There's so many more things in life to beat up!” Sun Dasheng whined mournfully.

“Shut your mouth!” Lu Ming snapped at him.
Her anger only showed when she was nervous.
The entire situation was slipping out of their control.

Li Luo ignored them.
Instead, he turned his attention to the red marking on his wrist.
It was heating up strangely at this time, and Li Luo could hear a wolf's howl ringing in his ears.

“Slip into a bad dream, children.
And in your nightmare, death will embrace you.”

A rain of blood fell down over all of their eyes.
An eerie silence fell across the whole battlefield.

Lan Lan, the First Princess, Gong Shenjun—all of them had their eyes covered with bloody blindfolds that suppressed their consciousness.

All of them had slipped into a dream world, and their bodies were no longer theirs to control.

The crimson knight-general laughed to himself in the silence, and this time, the face on his chest laughed alongside him.

“Bunch of kids.
You will know what hell on earth is.”

…

When the blood landed on Li Luo's eyes, he started to feel his own mind shutting down.
There was a power making him forget everything.

“Roar!”

Just before he went under, a powerful roar shook him to his senses.

Li Luo looked up…
but there was no more up.
He was in complete darkness on all sides.

His eyes narrowed.

In front of him was an ancient wolf, staring back at him with its eyes bright.
Three tails swished Behind it.

Li Luo gave it his best smile.

“Long time no see, Brother Wolf.”
