Linard stared at her beautiful green eyes without saying anything. He wrapped her long hair around his fingertips three times, pulled it out, stuffed a piece of paper with the date of her birth, and tied it tightly.

good.

"Time is running out, Althea. In the next steps, I need you to control your life and not leak out."

The two of them squatted half-crouched in front of the candle, and the howling wind blew the candle's light and darkness.

Linard muttered something quickly, Althea's nerves tensed to the limit, and her white temples throbbed.

In order to control her vitality, she withdrew the power of her boiling blood, and her whole face looked a bit gloomy.

Her mind was in a mess. She didn't understand why she agreed to Linnard's request, and she was curious about what he was doing at the moment.

"A burial wedding...could it be considered a wedding?"

A long military career has made her thinking mode more neutral, and her thinking is more focused on gains and losses.

When she first heard about Lynard's solution, she focused on whether it was effective and whether it could solve the current crisis.

After all, it was an emergency and she didn't react at first.

After she made up her mind to agree, and after a brief moment of peace in the panic, this idea suddenly came to her mind, making her involuntarily fall into the usual shyness of girls.

However, her temperament is not that of a procrastinator, and she understands that a funeral wedding is just a kind of ceremony, not a sacred and inviolable wedding.

On the battlefield, any method that can effectively attack the enemy is a good method.

"...Today, the two of us are scheduled to get married in a burial ceremony!"

Lynard's speaking speed was so fast that others could not understand what he was saying. It was not until the last few words that he abruptly slowed down and spoke each word solemnly.

Althea trembled for a few times, her head tilted softly, and there was no movement.

The resentful ghosts who dug the graves all noticed the two men's actions. They slowed down what they were doing, and their already terrifying faces became even more ferocious!

The candle flickered on and off, and the world fell into a trance.

An invisible and strange force seemed to be invading the surrounded space, and the ground rumbled and shook.

The resentful ghosts hugged their heads with their terrifying pale arms and screamed, as if there were man-eating monsters in their heads.

The whole world was flickering in and out, and from the corner of his eye, Linard saw that the aura on Althea's body was changing crazily.

There is no change in the appearance of her body, but there are pauses as the space splits, closes, and splits.

He seemed to see Althea appear in two forms.

When he paused, he was still the familiar elegant girl wearing a light yellow trench coat and her long hair tied up.

When it split open, suddenly, the color of her dress changed drastically, turning into a bright red color like blood, with a golden dragon embroidered on it soaring into the sky!

The ink-colored black hair is also combed to the top of the head and made into a bun. There are six phoenix beads on both sides, embellished with fine rubies and outlined with gold threads.

On her fair and jade-like face with a girlish texture, her eyebrows were lightly dyed, and her cheeks were lightly rouged, adding a layer of charming blush.

The simple neutral windbreaker turned into a bright red wedding robe. The complicated folds were layered like blooming peony petals. The colorful embroidery seemed to be carefully painted by the best artist. It shimmered, luxurious and graceful, and made her look elegant.

That typical deep-set face is a little more gentle.

If you don't pay attention to her white eyes and bulging light blue blood vessels, Althea is absolutely beautiful at this moment.

After a moment's pause, the space returned to its original pitch-black ink state, and the girl returned to her original appearance with her eyes tightly closed.

As time went by, Althea spent more and more time wearing red robes.

Lynard understood that this meant that two incompatible rituals were fiercely competing for control of this space on an invisible level.

In contrast, the white on the bodies of the resentful ghosts in white seems to be fading and getting lighter and lighter, gradually becoming transparent.

Their facial features were dripping with blood, and drops of bright red blood flowed out of the seven holes.

"Tick-tock——"

"Tick-tock——"

Suddenly, a bloody woman's face suddenly approached Linnard!

The outline of this face is still elegant, but the whites of the eyes are horrifyingly large, and the lips are as red as smeared with blood!

Althea!

She seemed to have lost consciousness. She was wearing a red wedding robe, and sharp nails sprouted from her five fingers. With a swish sound, five scars were made on Linnard's body!

"The ritual has taken effect..."

He quickly backed away and looked warily at the girl with a distorted face. The latter's distorted features showed a soft smile and she stared at him quietly.

"Sure enough, unexpected changes occurred."

Lynard remained silent, recalling the notes in his mind about the effect of burial marriage:

"Communicate between the worlds of life and death, and connect the minds of two people. If one party dies, he will spare no effort to capture the other party and fall to death together with him."

"You're obviously still alive, but you already have a tendency to attack the other party?"

"boom--!"

The eight resentful ghosts were overwhelmed and exploded, spreading the smelly blood all over the ground.

"Click-click-click-"

The wooden coffin lid swung wildly, as if a living creature opened its huge mouth and swallowed the remaining black and stinking blood of the resentful ghosts.

"You can't resist the funeral ceremony, so you just choose to merge?"

Noticing this scene, Linard was vigilantly guarding against the girl who was eyeing him, while looking at the coffin that was about to move.

The tentacles on his heart kept shrinking as if consciously, suppressing the weird aura leaking out.

It sensed an existence much more powerful than itself and chose to lie dormant.

"My judgment is indeed correct. Both the current Althea and the fused resentful ghost hybrid have mastered power that far exceeds mine."

Linnard's extraordinary power comes from the tentacles hidden in his heart, which is a power outside of his database.

It is not the holy power and bloodline mentioned by Althea, nor is it the power obtained through ritual prayer.

Rather, it is the power of the strange tentacles that arise from within the body after devouring the 'Source of Immortality'.

After going through the first script, he not only strengthened his abilities in all aspects, but also learned how to use the tentacles initially and how to control the strange aura attached to it.

Today, Linnard's self-estimated comprehensive physical fitness level is approximately ten times that of an adult.

This ten-fold difference in strength sounds very weak, and it seems that just eleven adults can beat him up.

In fact, it cannot be calculated this way.

Every doubling of strength means that all aspects of his attributes are crushed. Ten times the physical fitness of an adult is enough for him to face more than fifty ordinary people.

Moreover, some of the skill effects extended by the weird aura attached to the tentacles themselves enable him to have the ability to fight even when facing unknown existences.

The combination of the two allowed him to rely on brute force to defeat the arrogant Xu Tian in the script of "The Wake".

According to comparison with the extraordinary beings he has come into contact with so far:

Jiang Yuan＜Xu Di＜Water Vat Female Ghost＜Xu Tian＜Myself.

If Lynard had ten times the attributes of an adult, record the value as ten.

Then Jiang Yuan's combat power is at least five.

But there were three seats between him and Linnard.

The combat power was only doubled, but the effect was earth-shaking.
