Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 265 – God-Level Ability Combination

A sky full of mental needles, carrying the shame, fury, and killing intent of a level-five powerhouse, sealed off all of Lin Fan’s escape routes.

Jiateng Hezi stood in the hot spring pool, her chest heaving violently. Her face, which still held a mature charm, was now twisted in a savage expression.

She was certain that at such a close distance and with such a dense attack, even a fellow level-five Evolved being would be severely injured, if not killed.

However, in the next second, her expression froze.

“Is that all?”

The cold, clear voice pierced through the noisy splashing of water and drilled distinctly into her ears.

The young woman in the coarse linen robe merely lifted her right hand casually, waving it gently in front of her as if shooing away a fly.

Hum…!

The air let out a mournful cry, as if unable to bear the strain.

An invisible yet utterly tyrannical mental storm instantly erupted with the young woman at its center.

Faced with this power, the seemingly ferocious mental needles didn’t even last a second before being instantly shattered into primitive, free-floating energy.

Jiateng Hezi’s pupils quaked. Her legs went weak, and she nearly stumbled back into the water.

“Who… Who in the world are you?!”

Jiateng Hezi’s voice trembled. Her body instinctively retreated until her back was pressed against the cold wall of the pool.

Before this young woman, the level-five pressure she was so proud of was like a firefly meeting the bright moon—so faint it was laughable.

Lin Fan stepped onto the water-soaked tatami mat, walking forward one step at a time.

“You insisted on forcing me to drink that stuff. I’m a bit of a germaphobe; I just couldn’t stomach it, physically.”

Lin Fan stopped at the edge of the hot spring, looking down at the wretched Divine Emissary with a mocking curve to her lips. “I was originally going to keep playing with you using this Liu Ruyan identity, but all I got in return was arrogance and contempt. I’m done playing. I’m laying my cards on the table!”

The moment her voice fell, the aura around Lin Fan changed abruptly.

The delicate, charming human aura that belonged to “Liu Ruyan” vanished in an instant. In its place was a terrifying pressure originating from ancient times, a mixture of Tyranny and divinity.

A flash of light.

The black-haired, black-eyed “Liu Ruyan” disappeared.

In her place stood a stunningly beautiful woman with a waterfall of silver hair and a pair of dreamlike, rainbow-colored eyes.

What made Jiateng Hezi’s very soul tremble was the pair of translucent, pure white Dragon horns on her forehead, and the faint illusion of nine tails wreathed in white flames that appeared behind her.

Dragon Clan!

That was the… Dragon Clan that already dominated Sakurajima?!

No, that’s not right! This was stranger, and more powerful than the Dragon Clan!

Jiateng Hezi went completely limp in the water, her mind a total blank.

She had been playing god in this apocalypse for so long, styling herself as the proxy of Amaterasu Omikami. But when a truly “non-human” creature appeared before her, she finally understood what true despair was.

“Lord… Lord Dragon…” Jiateng Hezi stammered, instinctively wanting to kneel and beg for mercy.

“Shh.”

Lin Fan placed a finger to her lips, her rainbow eyes devoid of any warmth. “Too noisy.”

In the next instant, Lin Fan’s figure vanished from the spot.

When she reappeared, she was already standing in the hot spring. Her fair hand, like an iron clamp, was locked tightly around Jiateng Hezi’s throat, forcefully lifting her entire body out of the water.

“Ugh… cough…”

Jiateng Hezi’s feet dangled in the air. She frantically beat at Lin Fan’s arm, trying to break free.

But in the face of level-seven power, her resistance was as feeble as an infant’s.

“Spare… spare me… I can be your dog…”

Jiateng Hezi struggled to squeeze out the words, her eyeballs bulging from the lack of oxygen. Her once well-maintained face had turned the color of pig’s liver.

“Be my dog?”

Lin Fan tilted her head, seeming to consider it seriously, then shook her head in regret. “Sorry, a dog like you… has too strong of a stench. I don’t like it.”

More importantly, there was the secret this woman held.

A level-five Evolved being with no powerful offensive abilities had managed to establish such a massive underground cult in this dangerous area so close to an Otherworld Rift, and she could even consistently produce that special “Holy Water.”

This was definitely not as simple as having a “special constitution.”

If she didn’t turn her into a Skin and completely analyze her abilities, Lin Fan felt she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

“Go to sleep, Lord Divine Emissary.”

Lin Fan’s fingers tightened slightly.

“I’ll take good care of your followers for you.”

A soft crack.

The terror and unwillingness in Jiateng Hezi’s eyes instantly faded, and her head lolled lifelessly to the side.

The Divine Emissary who had lorded over the ruins of Sakurajima, enjoying the worship of hundreds, was now like a limp, dying chicken.

Lin Fan casually tossed her onto the tatami mat and flicked the water droplets from her hand.

“System, get to work.”

[Ding! Dying target detected, meets crafting criteria.]

[Target: Jiateng Hezi.]

[Skin Grade: Epic]

[Estimated Crafting Time: 30 minutes.]

[Begin crafting?]

“Begin.”

Lin Fan sat back down naked on the master seat’s soft cushion, watching as the corpse before her was gradually enveloped in the system’s light.

Thirty minutes passed in a flash.

As the last wisp of light dissipated, the original body vanished. In its place, a faintly glowing Skin lay quietly on the floor.

Lin Fan reached out and grasped it.

It was warm and smooth to the touch, with an excellent feel. She could even sense some kind of active energy flowing within it.

[Ding! Skin Crafting complete!]

Rеаⅾ oո ΚαtRеaԁіոɡСafе

[Name: Jiateng Hezi]

[Quality: Epic]

[Body Constitution: 226]

[Mental Strength: 342]

[Talent: Spirit Energy Purification: Can perform high-precision purification and conversion of absorbed Spirit Energy, or the chaotic energy free-floating in the air, through the bodily fluid circulation system. The converted bodily fluids are rich in highly active bio-energy and can be directly absorbed by humans of any constitution to increase their strength with no side effects. The stronger the host, the higher the conversion efficiency and the higher the quality of the output.]

[Faith Feedback: The energy fluid converted by the host contains the host’s Mental Strength. Those who consume it will passively develop feelings of faith toward the host. When an individual feels worship, awe, fanaticism, or other such emotions toward the host, they will generate faith power. This faith power will automatically flow back to the host, strengthening the host’s Mental Strength and physique.]

Looking at the string of descriptions on the system panel, even the well-traveled Lin Fan couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

“Holy crap…”

Lin Fan’s hand holding the Skin was trembling slightly.

What kind of divine skill combination was this?!

Although the Spirit Energy purification process was a bit disgusting, the effect was simply heaven-defying!

This was a humanoid, mobile, infinitely-recharging Crystal mining machine!

And it was a super-mining machine that could produce an “all-purpose potion”!

As long as Lin Fan was willing, she could endlessly produce “Holy Water” that could quickly turn ordinary people into Evolved beings.

What did this mean?

It meant that given enough time and people, she could mass-produce an army of absolutely loyal Evolved beings
