Apotheosis

Now that Zen was in a special form in the painting, it restrained many of his abilities. However, it was still his body.

He was formerly immune to all poisons, but did that change when he was in this special form?

He wasn't sure about that, but he had no time to think about it now.

As the Chill Poisonous Leeches continued to come at him, he waved his arms in defense. "Egan, the Chill Poisonous Leeches have surrounded the human!" Kirk warned.

"But we can't get back to him!" Egan said in frustration. The two of them continued to rush forward while the black eggs on both sides broke one after another.

They couldn't stop since if they halted for even a second, the ever-increasing swarm of Chill Poisonous Leeches would swallow them.

They already had enough problems with fighting off the Poisonous Leeches alone.

If they got infected with the venom, they were doomed. It was clear that the Chill Poisonous Leeches would be one of their worst nightmares if they fell under siege.

Normally, they were supposed to encounter only several Chill Poisonous Leeches in the place, but the current number of Chill Poisonous Leeches had reached half of the whole swarm already. They realized that it wasn't only the first page that changed, but the second page as well!

In such a desperate situation, a moment of hesitation would naturally bring them to death. Besides, they weren't powerful enough to save Zen anyway. They could only charge forward.

With a heavy heart, Egan turned his head during escape and saw Zen's figure had completely disappeared from his view. All he saw was a big ball of Poisonous Leeches, and Zen was inside. He supposed that Zen had died already.

After the two members of the Three Eyes race ran for a certain distance, the ball of Poisonous Leeches suddenly moved. The worms continued to wriggle around it, then the ball slowly nudged forward.

As the ball rolled along the path, it attracted more and more Poisonous Leeches to it.

As a result, Zen couldn't see his body, let alone Egan and Kirk.

When he looked down from the top, he only saw an increasing amount of Poisonous Leeches that continued to pile on top of each other and crawl around him. Then, he felt something sticky around his body.

Fortunately, he was still immune to poisons in the Eternal Scroll Painting. Even though the Poisonous Leeches repeatedly spat venom at him, he wasn't injured at all.

However, the venom of the Chill Poisonous Leeches made his body feel numb

o the arrays would turn from a part of the painting back into living creatures, then they would be able to fight the monsters.

However, this was probably the first time that someone had attracted so many Poisonous Leeches.

In turn, Zen followed Egan's instructions and continued to move slowly.

After he turned around the corner, he indeed saw a separate room on the side. In the center of the room was a hexagram array.

He dragged the Poisonous Leeches hard and moved towards the array. The second he stepped on it, his whole form underwent a drastic change.

He regained his original appearance as a creature, and so did the Poisonous Leeches.

When the Poisonous Leeches were just a painting, they didn't look that disgusting. Now that they turned into real creatures, however, Zen instantly felt sick in the stomach at the sight of them.

"Oh fuck! Go to hell!"

He felt miserable at the thought of how long the disgusting creatures stuck to him. His body trembled in rage, and he released a tremendous amount of power.

The great force sent the thousands of Poisonous Leeches wrapped around him flying in all directions. Then, his power formed numerous spirals that spread everywhere, and the Poisonous Leeches were sliced into pieces before they fell on the ground.

Meanwhile, Egan and Kirk, who stood outside the room, watched in utter surprise.

The path the Three Eyes race had chosen might seem easier than the others, but it was also full of dangers. A large number of the members of the Three Eyes race had died in the hands of the Poisonous Leeches. This time, though, it looked like the Poisonous Leeches had found their nemesis.
