章節 672: Zelsh Refuses to be Outdone

"Why would he joke about screaming from death essence?!"

"HA! Why wouldn't he wish you luck?" Zelsh bombastically bellowed. "You're his great partner in crime. Of course, he doesn't want you straggling behind!"

While Zelsh's laugh broke the tension for everyone else, Oli locked eyes with him. He peered up at the humanized Rot Wyrm standing over three krin tall. 

"So the switch to death essence might threaten my life?" 

"For some people? That is perhaps the case." 

Lord Uutrai cut in with a calm answer, letting his older pupil get control of his laughing fit. 

"Oli, I see no threat to your life through this change to your essence. Only the weak of mind and will have a risk of deteriorating their cultivation. Death by evolving your essence nature is a pitifully low risk in general. 

"Compared to say incorporating a soul jade into your mortal core, the pain of death essence evolution may only feel like a storm of paper cuts at worst."
