Chapter 411 Blood of Sin
"Mr. Watson... Why did my moth phase disappear?"

When Mary Mostan asked this question, she had tried her best to make her expression look gentle and charming.

If it were in the past, she would have easily captured the heart of any male customer with normal sexual orientation by putting on such a pitiful look, coupled with the dazzling lights in the club, and would have made the other party sincerely bow down to her and reveal all the secrets hidden deep in his heart.

But after experiencing Qi Xiang's loss of control, Mary Mostan's face now had seven hideous, curved and twisted scars like a centipede.

On the ugly head with all the skin shed and the dark red texture exposed, seven scars that had not yet fully healed were still slightly open. The rolled up flesh on both sides of the scars were like the hem of an abalone trembling slightly, and the pink inside the scars was faintly visible.

Such a shocking face, no matter how charming and seductive the expression is, will only make the viewer feel chilled.

But such cheap horror obviously couldn't scare the deformed monster with scales all over its body in front of her.

When Mary Mostan first woke up, her five senses had degenerated and become dull due to the disappearance of the moth phase.

At that time, she observed the deformed monster-like figure in front of her from a distance. In the dim light, she could only see that the other party seemed to be wearing a set of black armor that she didn't know where it came from.

When Mary was tormented by the slow-breath curse, Watson took seven steps to rush to her side and used the power of abandonment and destruction to help her get rid of the slow-breath curse that was stubbornly parasitic in her lungs... At that time, due to the torture of the slow-breath, her head was dizzy and she had no energy to observe the other party's situation.

That's why she didn't realize at that time that the scales on Watson's body were not thin armor... Those extremely thin black scales were tightly attached to the opponent's muscles, and there was no gap between the scales and the flesh!
That's not armor!

Instead, it was a shell that grew directly from Watson's flesh and blood!
Chitinous shell like an insect!
While waiting for Watson's answer, Mary Morstan was secretly looking at the other person's appearance.

After helping her get rid of the curse of delayed breathing, Watson obviously paid a heavy price. Mary watched with her own eyes as he threw away two silently smoldering fingers. The shells on his two arms suddenly began to melt and turned into a pool of dark, burnt and smelly liquid that flowed onto the sand.

And when the two arms lost the protection of the black shell, their true appearance was completely exposed - they were a pair of extremely skinny arms, without any skin or fat. The texture exposed to the dry air showed the vicissitudes of ancient trees. Every muscle fiber felt as tough as steel wire, full of simple and primitive power.

Although the female dancer lost the power and knowledge of the secret teachings of the moth, the remaining scattered memories of the moth phase still remain in her head.

For example, the stage characteristics of the path of chasing the moth, abandoning clothes → abandoning skin → abandoning footsteps → abandoning color → abandoning vision → abandoning...

Getting rid of unnecessary things one has in turn is the orthodox way of advancement in today's secret world of discarding.

But no matter how he discards his superfluous things, it is impossible for an apprentice of the Invisible Art to completely discard the essence of being human.

Even the Knower of Moths cannot escape from the frail mortal body.

The mothman shed his skin, but his flesh and blood were still human. The mothman lost his footsteps, but his feet still had five toes. But Watson, who was walking slowly towards him, had an inhuman flesh and blood. His feet had suddenly grown a sixth and seventh toe, and his eyes had transformed into insect-like compound eyes.

Such a drastic physical change is impossible even for an Adept who has awakened the fifth mark!
Just as those who have awakened to the third mark will be able to clearly interfere with the matter of the waking world, those who have awakened to the fifth mark will also gain even more powerful powers...that is, the power to directly interfere with the changes in their own bodies!

Although Mary has not yet awakened the Fifth Mark, it does not mean that she is unaware of its effectiveness. When she was serving her mentor, she had heard him talk about the secret of awakening the Fifth Mark.

At that time, Master Suluochana warned her: "Just as awakening the third mark is important to an apprentice... Only by awakening the third mark can one truly embark on the path of the invisible art, and his spirit can withstand the baptism of forbidden knowledge in deeper and broader dimensions, and the power of secret transmission can also interfere with the waking world more effectively."

"For those who awaken the fifth mark, the secret nature of their souls will also undergo a leap-forward transformation... Their ability to interfere with the waking world will be further enhanced!"

"At this stage, the power of the secret nature of the esoteric followers can already initially affect their own flesh and blood, causing their weak mortal bodies to undergo controllable benign deformations."

"The body of the Initiator is easier to open, and the scars on the skin will not heal for a long time and will not affect normal activities. The open body can also make the released power of Initiation more 'real'!"

"The body of a person with a heart is strong and long-lasting, extending his lifespan by hundreds of years. Broken limbs can also be regenerated. The blood, muscles, bones... even the cells will be mixed with active heart power."

"The cupper's body is more suitable for pleasure, and the skin grows wounds shaped like withered tubes. That is the third and fourth portal of pleasure... more fingers and more tongues, all for the purpose of enjoying more pleasure."

"And the Moth Ones..." The mentor at that time paused before continuing, "The Moth Ones who have already stepped over the fifth step of ascension, especially those who pursue the path of transformation... the ancient blood of sin deep in their bodies will truly begin to revive."

"That is the oldest sin, and also the oldest power... Mary, you must remember that your fifth dance must be a dance in pursuit of a new form, and you must never dance in pursuit of the old form!"

"Otherwise... when you complete your fifth transformation, you may no longer be the same person you were before."

Mary Morstan recalled her mentor's words, and she looked at Watson's horribly deformed body again - the dark texture was as thick and knotty as steel bars, the insect-like carapace grew out of the flesh and blood, the pupils were densely packed with small eyes like the compound eyes of insects, and there might be more deformed organs hidden under the flesh and blood that could not be directly seen...

She couldn't help but think in her heart: 'Even the Cup Holder who had the most bizarre physical mutation mentioned by the mentor only grew more limbs and organs...but the Cup Holder with heterogeneous hyperplasia, its proliferating organs still belong to the category of human.'

"But now John Watson...is definitely not a human being. Rather than being an insectoid human, he is more like some kind of humanoid insect."

'Is this why my mentor specifically told me not to complete the fifth transformation by dancing in the old form?'

'John Watson has passed the fifth transformation, and the blood of sin in his body has been revived? ? ? '
