The Philosopher's Stone turned into pure life energy and was injected into Esders's body.
After only two seconds, the energy stored in it was exhausted, and then it turned into a pure crystal. It shattered like glass and finally turned into nothingness.
After the light dissipated.
Esders bowed her head and shook her hand. She did feel a different kind of life force surging in her body.
"I'll control the ghost blood to stop moving. You can feel it."
Ryuga said so, and with just a thought, the ghost blood in Esders's body changed from a nutrient drink that brought a huge boost to a hard rock. It shrank in her body and remained motionless.
"Hmm … Indeed, I feel like my body has become sluggish, as if a force has disappeared from my body," Esders said to herself.
"The ghost blood will give you a strong immortality. The concentration of your ghost blood is only equivalent to the level of an ordinary ghost. But even so, as long as the wisteria poison doesn't invade your body, no matter how injured you are, let alone a broken heart, even if your brain is crushed into mud, you can still easily recover."
Ryuga paused. In fact, the original ghost blood had the side effects of not being able to be exposed to sunlight and being controlled by the ghost dance. However, because Ryuga got rid of the side effects, Esders, who was turned into a ghost by his blood, did not have this weakness.
"Once I control the ghost blood in your body to stop moving, although you won't die directly, you will lose your ability to recover as a ghost."
"So that's how it is. Ghosts seem to be quite convenient. The reason why you didn't die after being poisoned by Murasame was not because of alchemy, but because you are a ghost. From this point of view, what you said just now is indeed credible."
Esders nodded in thought. In her judgment, Ryuga's words should be all true from the beginning. Perhaps she was hiding something, but after all, there was a gap between the two. It was normal for her to hide something. As long as they could reach a cooperative relationship, it was already an acceptable result.
Of course, Ryuga had some reservations.
The reason why he couldn't perfectly control Esders's life and death was because his own ghost blood was too weak. Once he raised his ghost seed demon to the level of Dancing Ghost Demon, he would naturally be able to control her life and death at will. At that time, whether she lived or died, wouldn't it be up to him?
"In short, no matter what, I'll acknowledge this transaction first."
Although he still had some misgivings in his heart, Esders finally admitted that the two of them had a transactional relationship. However, that was about it. Because of the betrayal and the killing of one of his men, it was impossible for their relationship to go any further.
"Furthermore …"
Esders glanced at the silent [Yin-yang Style] beside him. He instinctively felt that the other party was unfathomable. The other party obviously had a deep relationship with him. Although she was proud, she was not a fool. It was already good to have this result. If she continued to push her luck, it would most likely not end well.
"That's right, ever since you became a ghost, have you felt a very ridiculous sense of hunger?"
Ryuga suddenly thought of something and asked Esders.
"Hunger?"
Esders withdrew his gaze from [Yin-yang Style] and said casually, "When I first woke up, I did feel it, but it was nothing. I suppressed it. After using the Philosopher's Stone, the hunger disappeared."
So that's how it was. His willpower was indeed astonishing.
In the world of the Ghost Destroyer Blade, the only person Ryuga had heard of who could suppress this kind of hunger was Mi Douzi. At most, she and Esders could do it.
The Philosopher's Stone could suppress hunger and the desire for human flesh … This was easy to explain. After all, the Philosopher's Stone was refined from pure life force. If even the magic extracted from life force could suppress this kind of hunger, the Philosopher's Stone would naturally be able to do it.
However, this was probably only a short-term effect. Most of the Philosopher's Stone's energy was used to revive her, and only a small part of it was used to suppress her desire to eat human flesh. After a long time, when the energy dissipated, she would probably still be unable to resist the hunger to eat human flesh.
"Alright, is the matter settled?"
[Yin-yang Style] spoke up at the right time, interrupting the conversation between the two. She then looked at Ryuga. "Since it's settled, let's have dinner. The food is getting cold."
Ryuga's so-called asking for her help only made her produce a deterrent effect. In fact, he treated her as insurance just in case. If a fight broke out and this area was destroyed, it would probably cause a lot of trouble. Fortunately, he used words to solve this matter and did not cause any more trouble.
At the dining table.
[Yin-yang Style] took out a set of chopsticks from the cupboard and placed it in front of Esders. Ryuga had already learned not to disobey her and sat at the table.
The atmosphere was barely harmonious.
However, when Ryuga and [Yin-yang Style] were eating quietly, only Esders was looking around the room, frowning from time to time, showing a confused expression.
After dinner.
"Then I'll go back first."
[Yin-yang Style] washed all the chopsticks and put them back in the cupboard. After saying goodbye to Ryuga, she disappeared without a sign.
Ryuga was already used to her sudden appearance and disappearance, but Esders was shocked by her again.
"Who is this woman?"
She stared closely at the place where [Yin-yang Style] disappeared, trying to find something unusual in that space, but no matter how she looked, she could not find anything unusual.
"It seems to be similar to the invisibility ability you used before, but it's a little different."
Liu Xia's stealth technique, which was a combination of Aura Concealment and Invisibility Magic, was impeccable. No one could sense any aura, nor see any trace of her. It could only be said that there were traces of her, but it was impossible to track her down.
However, she couldn't find any trace of the disappearance of the two rituals at all, which only made her feel strange.
"She is my boss, although she considers herself as my mother."
Ryuga put the rest of the food into the fridge and replied, "Her strength … is basically omniscient and omnipotent in this world. I'm not very sure, just don't try to resist her."
"Omniscient and omnipotent …?"
Not only did Esders not feel afraid, but his eyes lit up, showing a look of finding an excellent prey. However, after learning that even Ryuga did not know how strong she was, he temporarily extinguished the idea of fighting with [Yin-yang Style]. He turned to look at Ryuga again with a look of curiosity in his eyes.
"Then, you can almost explain to me why you use 'this world' and 'another world', right? These furniture are also very strange. I've never seen it before, but the effect is quite magical … Although it feels impossible, but is this place — "
"That impossible idea is the truth."
Ryuga responded so calmly, "I will explain to you about these [Another World] to you."
