Chapter 415: Chapter 399: Follower (Alliance Hierarch Tongtang 9/10)

“You cannot kill me, here I am undying.”

Skull Lolita was raging.

What she said was true; within the bounds of Malfoy Mansion, unless Tang Qi dealt a fatal blow, the monsters here would resurrect indefinitely. Just like before, when Luka’s Demon Flame burned the corpse monsters to death, they soon reappeared.

But at this moment, Tang Qi completely ignored Skull Lolita, his gaze fixed on a hidden figure in the corner.

The real… Jenny Malfoy!

A dead spirit earnestly wishing to hide is extremely difficult to detect, even for powerful Transcendents.

But Tang Qi was different—sweeping the area with his Special Ability.

In the corner that should have been empty, a chilling figure stood; previously, she had appeared in the master bedroom, luring Noah and the others into the basement.

Jenny Malfoy at this time was still in the same attire, dressed in Lolita fashion with golden curls, cold yet beautiful, holding a quaint and elegant violin. Her eyes, filled with wariness, looked towards Tang Qi.

At the same time, she was in a curious State, her ethereal body seemingly immune to almost all Magic Attacks?

Tang Qi thought of her life’s misfortune and sighed inwardly, then smiled gently at her and said, “You lured Noah and the others down here wanting me to appear, right? You wish for liberation but aren’t sure whether the people behind these kids can handle all the monsters here and the curse on these fragments?”

As he spoke, Tang Qi clearly saw a slight change in Jenny’s expression.

His guess in the heart grew more certain.

Jenny Malfoy had been unaware of Tang Qi’s presence from beginning to end.

When Tang Qi first came to inspect the monsters inside the mansion, she didn’t notice him, and the same was true during the previous encounter in the master bedroom. However, she could tell that Noah and the rest were not ordinary kids, so she deliberately made the gardener ghost reveal the location of the two diaries.

Thereby enticing them into the basement.

The gardener ghost’s family being driven from the mansion was clearly not a punishment, but Jenny Malfoy’s protection of them.

Now, there was indeed a reward. When Tang Qi came to understand these points, he also guessed Jenny Malfoy’s aim.

She wanted to completely free everything here, including the Malfoys, those monsters, and the fragment he now held in his hand.

“What a clever child!”

Tang Qi praised in his heart. It was at this moment that a huge commotion came; the entrance to the basement was finally pushed open by a giant pig’s head. When the gap appeared, Old Malfoy, transformed into a massive fat pig, led dozens of monsters, leaping down and charging over.

The foul stench flooded like a deluge, dispersing all the warmth in the basement.

“Ha ha ha… Jenny, my Jenny, your daddy is here.”

Old Malfoy’s thick, hairy arms swung madly, making the disgusting pig’s head even more repulsive.

It thought it would see its beautiful daughter, but what it saw next was a cold face, full of killing intent.

“Damned thing!”

Each word was slowly spoken by Tang Qi. The Red Flames, like a tornado, started at Tang Qi’s location. Before the fat pig and the monsters could land, it wrapped them up and at the moment of touch, they emitted unstoppable wails of Pain they had never felt before.

The monsters, transformations of the former homeowners, were instantly burned to death.

The robbers followed suit.

The one that lasted the longest in the fire was Old Malfoy, transformed into a fat pig, not only because it was fatty but also due to Tang Qi’s special attention. The power of the Melting Furnace, cultivated through the Refining Method, now became the most horrifying torture tool, letting Old Malfoy experience what it meant to wish for death.

In endless agony, it didn’t even leave ashes as it vanished into the air. The once noisy Malfoy Mansion fell silent in an instant.

It was when Old Malfoy truly perished that Jenny Malfoy’s figure slowly emerged in the corner.

But as she appeared, Skull Lolita, originally pouncing towards Tang Qi, suddenly, wordlessly, lunged at Jenny. In the skull’s dark eye sockets, a flame filled with Desire abruptly soared.

“Extraordinary Creature: Ghostly Wraith, a monster mutated by the power of the Death God, deeply longing to recover its own soul. Upon success, she will transform into an even stronger monster…”

“Bang!”

Once again, it collided with the Golden Shield.

But before it could fall apart, a hand wrapped in flames gently brushed past, igniting its corpse, and in a moment burning it to ash. Inside was hollow, with no soul present.

“Now, do you believe me, Miss Jenny?”

Tang Qi stood in front of the ghost girl, his overwhelming spiritual power suppressing the rising sense of threat from the depths of his heart.

Once again, Tang Qi realized his special ability was not omnipotent.

The information about Jenny Malfoy that flashed before his eyes this time was fundamentally different from last time.

The first time he came to check the class address, the special image Jenny displayed belonged to a slightly more powerful Earth-bound Spirit.

But now, it had changed.

[Extraordinary Creature: Death God’s Favored.]

[State: Normal.]

[Information Fragment One: Jenny Malfoy’s Self-Sacrifice activated the Power of the Death God on the fragment of the Death God’s Rant, and after the Spell took effect, it bound all related ghosts within Malfoy Mansion and by default, recognized Jenny Malfoy as the master of the fragment.]

[Information Fragment Two: After the Return of the Spiritual Tide, the ghosts within the mansion began to come back to life. The Power of the Death God attached to the fragment, along with Jenny Malfoy’s special Talent, attracted the attention of a projection from the Exotic Realm Death God. Not long ago, she was recognized as a Follower by the projection.]

…

Such a coincidence?

The second Information Fragment momentarily startled Tang Qi.

Clearly, when Tang Qi first visited, Jenny Malfoy was merely assumed to be the master of the fragment, which allowed her to use the Power of Death God to modify the ghosts to a certain extent, but without the ability to kill them, and moreover, she was compelled to stay in the place of her suicide—the basement.

Before Noah and others had entered the town, she suddenly caught the attention of the Exotic Realm Death God, even being unilaterally recognized as a Follower.

Of course, in the eyes of the Death God’s projection, Jenny was already deemed a Believer of the Death God when she recited the “Death God Summoning” Spell.

Its attention was a blessing.

Now that Jenny had become a “Death God’s Favored,” all past restrictions had vanished, replaced by the prospect of her obtaining extremely horrifying power.

However, she was unaware of this herself, nor did she know what duties a Death God’s Favored was supposed to fulfill. Tang Qi gazed directly into Jenny Malfoy’s eyes; beyond the iciness, there was profound, deeply buried Pain—her experiences had already killed her Mind.

After pondering for a moment, Tang Qi slowly extended a hand and passed the fragment over to her.

What then echoed in the basement was Tang Qi’s gentle voice.

He frankly told her about becoming a Death God’s Favored, as well as the responsibilities of the Favored.

It was a power that would make almost any Transcendent green with envy, even jealous. In comparison, the so-called responsibilities seemed more like benefits; the Death God seemed to be famously generous towards its Believers.

Yet Tang Qi’s words didn’t sway Jenny; she remained coldly locked in eye contact with him. Until the next moment, Tang Qi extended his other hand, from which Red Flames spilled, both beautiful and deadly.

“This is your second choice, and it can help you break free completely.”

When Tang Qi finished speaking, Jenny’s gaze was fully fixed on the hand that kept emitting Light.

When she fell into the Abyss, she desperately longed for such hands to pull her out of the dark, vile place.

Even though she knew that the moment she grasped that hand, she would die brilliantly, like a Moth to a flame, she still reached out her hand uncontrollably.

Noah and the rest all showed looks of distress, as if they wanted to speak out to stop her.

But at that moment, the basement was suddenly enshrouded in gray, and everyone seemed frozen, their souls halted.

Even the Flames on Tang Qi’s hand slowly started to extinguish.

Whoosh!

Without hesitation, a pale hand firmly grasped Tang Qi’s larger one; Jenny had made her choice.

Boom! In a sigh, the Melting Furnace Power within Tang Qi surged out without reservation, instantly igniting Jenny.

The grayness began to fade, and everyone who came back to life watched as the beautiful, icy little girl vanished amid the twinkles of firelight.

When she completely disappeared, a breathtaking smile surfaced on her lips; she left one last message for Noah and the others.

“Thank you!”
