Chapter 692 Devoured

Michael couldn't visualize much in the Living Soul's mindspace, but the few things he saw were enough for him.

Michael initially thought he was mistaken, but he realized it was reality. The faint glimmers that outlined the spark of life looked like his brother. They outlined Daniel Fang.

Michael felt like charging at his brother to embrace him tightly, but the tiger towering before the spark of life obstructed his path. The tiger was three times taller than the spark of life and seemed to expand slowly. However, it didn't look like a monster. If anything, the Tiger looked like a mixture of an image, an absolute monster, and an existence created from comprised darkness.

Small bits of white-glowing stripes dotted the massive tiger, but most parts were shrouded in darkness. The darkness surged outward and expanded as Danny's spark of life was consumed.

Michael's eyes narrowed. He kicked the ground and propelled toward the massive tiger. Extraction tendrils burst out all over Michael's body. They grew thicker and thicker until each extraction tendril was thicker than Michael's waist. Michael knew that he would have never been able to control the power of True Extraction now that it was focused on a single point, but the mighty roar of the thing sealed within Michael seemed to aid him.

For the first time since Michael manifested Cursed Seals, it didn't feel like they were trying to take control of him. It was almost like the Cursed Seals tried to grant him as much power as needed to defeat their common foe.

Michael didn't care about the reason. What mattered was that he had complete control of the Cursed Seals at this moment.

The extraction tendrils whipped at the massive tiger and instantly coiled around its legs, neck, maw, and torso. Of course, the enormous tiger didn't even think about staying idle while under attack. The darkness shrouding the massive tiger expanded explosively. The extraction tendrils were just about to be torn into shreds when the light in the mindscape was swallowed. The extraction tendrils exuded the only glimmer left in the mindscape.

Michael swallowed hard when he sensed that something eerily powerful enveloped the mindscape. However, instead of backing off or waiting to see what would happen, Michael believed that the eerie power belonged to his mother.

'It's her weird-ass magic circle. Calm down!' Michael screamed at himself inwardly before pushing forward.

The Extraction tendril's glimmers alongside Spirit Eyes' ability to see in the dark and to see energies in every environment were all Michael needed to tell that his mother's eerie power restrained the darkness shrouding the massive tiger. The extraction tendrils invaded the massive tiger's body only for a massive presence to emerge out of nowhere.

The World Serpent surged out of Michael's back and invaded the Miniature Coffin Keychain. Evalynn's power already weakened and further restrained the Massive tiger, but the World Serpent's presence was needed to push the tiger to the ground.

It was pinned to the ground, allowing Michael to focus on True Extraction.

The World Serpent's essence snapped back into Michael's body alongside the shimmering extraction tendrils. Meanwhile, the Curse was no more.

No. That was not true either.

Michael couldn't tell what happened, but he recognized the Curse was dead. The World Serpent and the being inside Michael merely changed the battlefield. They released the Curse on their homeground, tore it apart when the opportunity arose, and consumed it.

He couldn't tell whether the Curse managed to fight back or was ruthlessly torn apart, unable to resist. However, he sensed that something altered when the being inside him and the World Serpent consumed the Curse.

The first thing he noticed was that his back didn't hurt anymore. He also stopped bleeding. But the Cursed Seals were still active...and more were being unleashed...

As the two beings inside Michael consumed the Curse, the shackles restraining the fifth Cursed Seal were tore into shreds. The fifth Cursed Seal was smaller than the rest, but it was being nourished. Something nourished it until it was as big as the other Cursed Seals.

After that, Michael gained access to a second Serpent Seal. However, it was not like the World Serpent granted Michael access to it on its own. It felt like something about his connection with the World Serpent changed. It didn't feel like the being behind the Cursed Seals, but it was getting closer.

In the first place, Michael's connection with the World Serpent wasn't the only thing that altered after they consumed the Curse. Michael's relationship with his Curse had changed as well.

It was more intense than it used to be but also more amiable. Michael could tell that the Cursed Seals were still trying to overwhelm him and dominate his body to take control. However, Michael's understanding of the Cursed Seals and the being behind the seals augmented considerably.

His augmented understanding made it easier to control the Cursed Seals.

But did Michael want to control the Cursed Seals...or the being sealed inside him?

**

[A/N: He devoured the Curse...and acquired access to the second Serpent Seal, breaking down the shackles that restrained the fifth Cursed Seal. Will Michael be fine, or will that come back biting at him?]
