Chapter 949: She Isn't Yura

When Saul returned to the black desert of the Chaos Realm the next day, there was an additional cocoon beside him.

Gorsa had been placed by him in the dwelling Noah had originally built. To prevent unexpected enemies and dangers, Saul had even set up defensive arrays before leaving.

They continuously consumed magic crystals.

But when he entered the room, he discovered Gorsa was already sitting up. However, his head was lowered, looking as if he had fallen asleep while sitting.

When Saul approached, he slowly raised his head, revealing a face with nothing on it.

“Master, you can move now?” Saul unwrapped Yura and laid her flat beside Gorsa’s legs, transmitting information through mental power. “I brought Yura here.”

Gorsa didn’t move, but weak mental fluctuations soon came through.

“Good.”

At this moment, Yura finally woke up. She had just opened her eyes and was looking around bewildered when she quickly recognized Saul nearby. Following Saul’s gaze, she turned and saw a person completely wrapped in bandages.

Even though this person’s aura was weak with almost no mental power fluctuations, Yura quickly recognized him.

“Hahaha, Gorsa, you have this day too, hahaha!” Recognizing Gorsa, Yura completely forgot she was still bound and that her situation wasn’t necessarily much better than Gorsa’s.

Gorsa slowly turned his head, facing what was originally his face toward Yura.

Seeing this, Yura stopped going mad. She sat up from the ground, scooted in front of Gorsa, and cupped his chin with both hands.

“You called me here—there’s something you need me to do, right?”

Gorsa slowly nodded.

His upper body leaned forward, relying on Yura for support.

Yura actually smiled, seeming very satisfied that he was depending on her like this. “What do you need me to do?”

“I need to… eat you.”

Both Saul and Yura widened their eyes simultaneously.

The next second, the bandages on Gorsa’s body actually split open from his body’s center, like a vertically opening bloody maw that directly swallowed Yura in front of him.

In an instant, only Yura’s two legs remained outside, twitching twice before being slowly sucked into the opening in Gorsa’s abdomen.

After Yura’s entire person disappeared into Gorsa’s abdominal cavity, the bandages closed again.

Having devoured Yura entirely, Gorsa still maintained that same emaciated form, showing no sign that he had just eaten a person.

Before bringing Yura here, Saul had been wondering why master wanted to see Yura.

He never would have imagined that the other actually wanted to eat Yura!

“Master,” Saul also crouched down, looking at Gorsa at eye level. “Your soul body state is also unstable. Eating Yura might worsen your injuries.”

Who would have expected that Gorsa, having just eaten Yura, raised his head, revealing three horizontal slit openings in the bandages on his face, positioned exactly where his eyes and mouth would be.

He could actually see and speak now.

“Saul, what I devoured wasn’t Yura.”

Looking at Gorsa’s such rapid recovery, Saul slowly furrowed his brow. He actually had a very disturbing hypothesis.

“Master, Lady Yura, she… she…”

“You guessed correctly.” Gorsa’s voice was somewhat heavy. “There was never any Lady Yura—that was myself.”

“Cough cough cough…” Saul couldn’t help choking.

After recovering for a moment, Saul asked, “Did Lady Yura never exist from the beginning? So Grand Duke Kira’s sister doesn’t exist?”

“Not exactly. At first there was Yura, and she was my wife. But when Yura was experimenting, she was even more crazy and bold than me. Unfortunately, she lacked corresponding knowledge and only knew how to act recklessly. In the end, she committed suicide to separate her soul from her body. Before long, her soul lost its sense of self.”

“So Grand Duke Kira always believed that the Yura who appeared later wasn’t her sister.”

“Yes. At that time, I made a deal with Ophelia, obtaining a method to split souls. I divided myself in two, blurring the memory of one part and making it believe it was Yura.”

“Why… Did you do this?”

“You know I wanted to use dark attribute power to advance to third rank while primarily studying light attributes, right?”

Saul nodded. That advancement had been too difficult, and with the Tribunal secretly interfering, Gorsa’s plan failed. He could only use his original light attribute method to advance to third rank and quell the unrest.

“The Yura of that time was also a backup plan I left for myself. And because I was familiar with Yura’s soul characteristics, using it for experiments went very smoothly.”

So he had basically sliced himself up to play with?

Saul held his forehead. He felt a headache on behalf of Lord Norton. The person who would inherit the Glare family in the future was such a madman—did the Glare family really have a future?

“You should have guessed what happened afterward.”

Saul nodded. He saw that the cracks revealed on Gorsa’s face didn’t actually show eyes and mouth, guessing the other hadn’t truly recovered yet.

“After you advanced to third-rank, you decided to go to the Abyssal Eye. The Yura left outside—your split soul—became the best medicine for treating soul body collapse.”

Saul sighed. “Weren’t you afraid of accidents?”

For instance, Yura dying at someone else’s hands. Or being too injured to transmit information when he returned

“I told the patriarch that if I was injured to the point of losing consciousness, to ask you to come treat me.”

So he had been calculated into this too.

Saul wouldn’t argue with Gorsa about these things. He placed the Inverted Tree branches he had obtained from Shaya beside Gorsa.

“These are the materials you requested last time. But I think you probably can’t use them now. Although you absorbed… the split spirit body, your current condition can’t be called very good either.”

Gorsa nodded and obediently lay down directly on the ground.

“Do you need anything else to supplement nutrition?”

“No need. Right now I can only digest myself.”

“Alright, then I’ll head back first. The magical power here is dormant and mental power isn’t affected—it’s very suitable for your recuperation. As long as you don’t move around randomly, there shouldn’t be any problems. There are ordinary human forces I’ve cultivated outside—don’t catch them to eat.”

“I’m not a beast,” Gorsa muttered.

Being able to split open from the middle of his body to eat people—if that wasn’t a beast, what could it be?

Remembering the scene of Yura suddenly being eaten made Saul’s entire body numb. Did that count as eating people or eating himself?

“Alright, rest well.” Before leaving, Saul remembered what Gorsa had told him when his mind was unclear.

He had been continuously shocked by master’s various behaviors and almost forgot about this matter.

“What did you mean when you said the abyss was a corpse?”

Who would have expected Gorsa to be stunned too. “When did I say the abyss was a corpse?”

Saul immediately became serious. “You don’t remember? Then do you remember what you encountered when you went to the Abyssal Eye?”

Gorsa slowly closed his slender eyes. “No, I remember now. But before you just asked me, I completely didn’t notice I had overlooked something.”

“I did see a corpse. It was trying to resurrect. I saw it slowly absorbing nutrients.”

Saul voiced his hypothesis. “Could what you saw have been a sixth-rank corpse?”

“I don’t know. Actually, I didn’t see clearly, because the moment I saw it, my eyes and brain melted. But my consciousness told me that it was indeed a corpse.”

“If a sixth rank resurrects, it wouldn’t necessarily be good news for the wizard world.”

“Of course not… but I should have seen something else. Strange, I can’t remember it at all.”

“Master, you should rest first. In your current state, overusing your brain might cause it to melt again.”

Although Saul also wanted to know what else Gorsa had seen, the more the other tried to remember, the worse his soul body’s condition became. It would be better to recuperate first, then try to recall.

As long as the person was still alive, he could always remember.
