Chapter 574 Artifacts

?Villain Ch 574. Artifacts

Once near enough, Allen extended his hand towards Mei Ling. His fingers hovered in the air, hesitating for a moment, as if testing the waters. The pulse resonated through his actions.

With a decisive motion, he invoked his skill, uttering, "Contract!"

Allen invoked the dark aura surrounding Mei Ling. The inky tendrils swirled around her ethereal form, wrapping her in a shroud of darkness. The transformation was palpable, evident in the gradual metamorphosis of Mei Ling's once pristine white robe, now tainted with the insidious hues of the corrupted energy. The darkness seeped into her, a sign that Allen's power had successfully penetrated her being.

The cue of her robe turning black mirrored the corruption that now coursed through Mei Ling. Yet, a striking contrast emerged as her pale face transformed into a canvas for bold makeup. Blood-red lip tint adorned her lips, creating a stark and unsettling beauty that clashed with the underlying sadness etched into her features.

Mei Ling, caught in the grip of Allen's power, retained a semblance of sorrow despite the outward transformation.

Unexpectedly, Mei Ling did not linger or address Allen as "Master" as one might have anticipated. Instead, she vanished from the scene, leaving behind a haunting clacking sound. It echoed as the lance in her hand slipped from her grasp, falling to the ground and rolling down to Allen's feet.

With Mei Ling's departure, the invisible barrier that had stood as an impassable divide between Allen and his companions dissipated like morning mist. The sudden freedom of movement allowed the girls to approach him without hindrance.

Allen, however, seemed momentarily captivated by the lance lying at his feet. Squatting down, he reached for it, his fingers wrapping around the once-discarded weapon.
