Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 136 Ilibu's Resurrection

tick tock...

Is it raining?

There seemed to be the sound of raindrops falling.

Suddenly, Jiaozi seemed to hear the sound of rain. How long had it been since it rained?

There is no rain in the slums, only rotten and smelly bread and dirty muddy water.

No bright flowers can bloom on barren land. If Jiaozi wasn't kind-hearted, he would have been assimilated long ago.

But even so... the past is never far away, the past has never even passed.

Countless nights, Jiaozi would always wake up from his dreams. The smell of blood in the dream was so real that even his brothers and sisters who were gasping for breath...

He thought back to his days in the slums, before he had put on the mask he couldn't take off, before he still had his good friend Goering and didn't have to go through the trouble of participating in some bloody ceremony to seize power.

Sometimes, Jiaozi even fantasizes about becoming an ordinary person, so that he can live in harmony with everyone without wearing a mask.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Amid the sound of heavy rain, Jiaozi heard a voice that was very familiar to him.

"Give me your body and fall into a deep sleep. This way, your monster might even reach B rank."

Jiaozi knew that this was a trick of Ili Bu, but what could he do now?

I have been trying to escape fate all along. However, this sharp arrow will pierce through the long river of time and mercilessly shoot towards my forehead.

"Vine Monster..."

In the end, Jiaozi was still worried about his monster, but it was too late.

As my consciousness was shrouded in darkness, the endless sound of rain began to fade away.

……

The third eye on Jiaozi's forehead was fully opened! It exuded infinite murderous aura, giving people an incomparable sense of oppression.

"Jiaozi, you big liar! Wake up quickly!" Selina called out in a crying voice.

"Idiot! You summoned a pack of wolves to repel the tiger!" Di Qi was anxious and sad, and couldn't help but started whispering.

Gradually, the black energy around Jiaozi transformed into Yilibu. Just like before, Jiaozi made the same choice again!

"Haw!"

Seeing Jiaozi turning black, the vine demon anxiously wanted to call out to its master. However, Yilibu just waved his hand casually, and the boundless black air also enveloped the vine demon.

After a miserable cry, the vine monster grew barbs all over its body, making it difficult to approach. It also turned black!

After the transformation into a dark one, the eyes of the Ivy Monster were no longer pure. They became cold and evil, just like a hunter.

Ilibu occupied Jiaozi's body, and the vine monster turned black. Next, his only goal will be to devour Morris!

"What to do? What to do? What to do……"

Yiyin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. The plot seemed to be going normally now, but no one knew how it would develop next.

The worst outcome would be that Ilib would be affected by the battle with Morris and they would be buried in the dark holy well forever...

No matter which side wins, it won't be a good outcome for them. Unfortunately, they can't intervene in the fight between the two, and the Green-haired Turtle can't join the battle either. It's really bad.

No, it's not time to despair yet.

Thinking of this, Yiyin immediately took out the Xuanwu Blade and jumped between Morris and Ilibu.

"Stop! Stop fighting!"

Yiyin tried to stop the dispute on his own, "We are all friends, why can't we just sit down and talk?"

"Who is your friend?"

Morris was furious and commanded a group of eyeballs to attack Yiyin.

Bubulu was in a hurry and didn't care about his injuries, he wanted to support Yiyin, but Yilibu was one step faster and directly let the blackened vine monster block Morris's attack.

"Interesting, Past Member. Tell me, how do you plan to stop us?"

Ilibu sneered, "Our strength is far beyond your ability to withstand. You're like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

"I know. But fighting alone won't solve the problem."

Yi Yin closed his eyes. "If you want to fight, I have no reason to interfere. But I hope you won't hurt my friends."

"Friends? You still talk about friendship!"

Yiyin's words seemed to have touched Morris's sore spot. He mobilized all his energy and released a super-large-scale death gaze.

At the same time, the vine demon began to emit pollen. The sweet pollen not only calmed emotions, but also suppressed Morris—of course, Morris, in his furious state, obviously ignored this effect.

In order to exert his power, Ilibu had to exploit Jiaozi, his host. But how could a mortal body withstand Ilibu's evil power? Jiaozi would definitely be squeezed dry by Ilibu!

Just when they decided to fight to the death, no one noticed that Yiyin fell to the ground like a defeated fly.

"sorry."

Xuanwu helped Yiyin up, and the latter looked a little lost. "I'm too useless. If only I could become stronger..."

At this point, Yi Yin's eyes unexpectedly showed a hint of envy. So what if he was the power of darkness? He no longer wanted to accept the powerlessness of the weak. If he had known this would happen, what would have happened if he had turned evil earlier?

"Yiyin, you are already amazing for having the guts to take action against evil forces!"

Bubulu rubbed his hands together and said, "Next, it's up to us! We can't let Yilibu continue to devour Jiaozi's body!"

As he said this, Bubulu took a deep breath and tried to stop Ilibu from moving forward.

"Water Elf, Water Lotus Waterfall!" Selena commanded the water elf to shoot out a wall of water in an attempt to block Ilibu's sight.

"Roar!" The Barbary Golden Lion carried Diqi and used the Lion King's Roaring Bomb to protect Bubulu.

But it's useless!

This little trick was nothing to Ilibu. Without even turning his head, he let the vine monster weave a large net that completely covered them.

The vine net seemed to have eyes, locking all five people present together tightly.

Bubulu and his companions could only watch as Ilibu walked towards Morris little by little, and then greedily absorbed his power!

Invasion, fusion...

This S-level battle was thrilling to watch. No one knew what would happen next. They could only pray that good luck would be on their side.

Slowly, Morris's struggles ceased, and Irib's remaining body completely devoured Morris.

Then, Jiaozi disappeared.

Irib and Morris had merged into one, creating a new, gigantic monster. The monster's blood-red eyes suddenly opened, sending a wave of despair through the air.

"It's so delicious. This hatred! This humiliation! This despair! Negative energy is my best spiritual food. No one can stop me now! Hehehe..."

The newly born Ilibu licked his lips and moved towards Bubulu and the others, his eyes full of desire for food.

"Nutrients, naturally, the more the better..."

Ilibu stretched out his claws, trying to assimilate Bubulu and the others.

"……Uh?"

At this moment, Ili Bu's body suddenly shook, as if he was stopped by something.

“It’s dumplings!”

Bubulu said happily, "It must be Jiaozi's remaining consciousness that is stopping Yilibu's actions!"

But before Bubulu could be happy for long, Yilibu returned to normal. He raised his hand and tore open his heart, then took out a pitch-black eyeball from his heart and threw it away in disgust.

"Garbage belongs in the trash can."

"(That's Kindred.)"

The sharp-eyed Xuanwu immediately made a judgment, "(Although I don't know where the dumplings came from, this is undoubtedly a magic weapon that can target Yilibu.)"

"I see."

Just as he finished speaking, the green-haired turtle ate a hole in the vine net of the Ivy Monster. Taking this opportunity, Yi Yin immediately took the lead and rushed to snatch Qian Jue.

When Yiyin touched Qianjue, a black vortex appeared out of nowhere and sucked Yiyin in without warning.

"Iin! You can't give up!"

A gust of wind blew, and Bubulu grabbed Yiyin's disappearing waistband. When Qianjue disappeared, he fell into the vortex with him.

“Bubulu…!”

Selina and Teach's voices gradually faded away.
