Chapter 248 Shadow Hound Cerberus Cultivation Technique Of The Four Arch Daemons

With a determined gaze, he looked at the materialization of his shadow on the canvas. It was a light blue, semi-transparent being, but it still existed nonetheless. This was his skill: Shadow Puppet.

"Come out!" He exclaimed, squeezing his eyes closer to shut as his neck began to shake from the pressure he was putting on his head. He was trying to make Cerberus escape from the shadow, but all his efforts seemed to be in vain.

"It won't come out..." Lyrian stopped for a second and thought of a new approach. "Wait... why would it? The Hound is still within my shadow, not within the Shadow Puppet skill. If that's the case, then I need it to come out of my shadow first before I meddle at all with the Skill Convergence Canvas."

On this thought, he turned his focus from the canvas to his own shadow. Although Lyrian's shadow had a soul of its own, it was still soul-bound to him. This was the case for all of his other creatures as well.

With the soul bound between Lyrian and his shadow, he used the depths of his mind to force Cerberus out of his shadow. Squeezing his eyes shut, he gripped his fists tightly and gritted his teeth; all to drive the beast out of his shadow.

Finally, signs of the beast detaching from his shadow showed, and Lyrian felt a hint of relief. He was prepared for this very moment and quickly gripped onto the Shadow Jade Pendant.

'If—if this pendant allows me to take control of any being, as long as they are within my shadow, I might have the ability to control Cerberus for just a split moment—enough for me to plunge it into the Four Arch Daemon Technique.' He thought to himself.

His plan was simple, yet risky. Still, he needed to do it, or else, he feared the worst would come. His meridians would burn to ashes, and his core felt as though it was going to combust. Nonetheless, he had faith that this would work. He saw no other way.

Firstly, he would extract the catastrophic beast from the shadow—and that he did! As soon as a hint of its energy was released, Lyrian took in a deep breath and tightened his grip on the Shadow Jade Pendant, instantly taking control of what little of Cerberus' being was shown.

In that very millisecond, he summoned his soul and his Four Arch Daemon Cultivation Technique onto his Skill Convergence canvas with a flick of a thought.

[You have created a new skill; Shadow Of Daemon]

His shadow and the cultivation technique merged in an instant with his command, just as they did, Lyrian transferred the soul of Cerberus into the Four Arch Daemon Cultivation Technique, now known as Shadow Of Daemon.

Of course, he wouldn't have been able to control such a powerful beast with the Shadow Jade Pendant so easily, but because it was already in an absorbed form, and also because only a hint of its energy had shown, Lyrian was able to be the middle man between reality and the object.

From his beckoning, the disastrous hound was sucked into the cultivation technique, but not without releasing its spiritual aura for one-tenth of a second—the time it took for Lyrian to not merge his Shadow Puppet skill and the Four Arch Daemon scroll, but also the time it took for Lyrian to transfer Cerberus into the new Shadow Of Daemon cultivation technique.

In that one-tenth of a second, enough spiritual energy was released in the room to send Lyrian flying toward the wall. His back slammed into the matte wall with a lot of force before he fell back down to the ground.

The burning sensation within his body suddenly left—

—but a new burning sensation existed within the outside of his body now. It didn't take long for Lyrian to realize that the entire room had been burned to a crisp and that the pain he felt on his skin right now was due to burn marks.

He didn't freak out, as he had been feeling a similar pain for minutes by now inside of him. Instead, he quickly took out a better healing elixir from his storage ring and chugged it down quickly.

Finally, he fell onto the floor face-flat. Withstanding that spiritual pressure from Cerberus, even if it was for one-tenth of a second, even if it was not even 0.0001% of the beast's power, was enough to overwhelm his nervous system.

*Bang*

The door to his room flew open as he fainted. The two concerned faces of Alten and Leon quickly stepped inside, as they saw a burning room within. Walls were cracked, and blackened with flame. The beds were on fire, and the carpet had been turned to ash.

"What in the hell!?" Alten exclaimed, quickly rushing over to Lyrian.

"Get water to put the flames out, I'll see to him!" Leon shouted before Alten could reach Lyrian.

Dismissively, Alten ran past Lyrian and into the bathroom. 'I hope he's alright...' He worriedly thought, quickly grabbing the shower faucet in the room that was still turned on for some reason.

He quickly pulled it out into the room before pumping it with some of his own mana and rinsing the entire place clean. Leon got down on one knee and held Lyrian's torso up slightly.

He patted him on the cheek a few times, but couldn't get the boy to wake. Finally, he looked up at Alten who was busy watering the room down.

"Spray his face," Leon said, as Alten quickly obliged without hesitation.

*Splash*

Still... nothing.

*Fwissh*

Both Alten and Leon turned to look at the door as they heard this sound. Julius had appeared within the room in an instant, as though he had teleported there.

With a serious gaze on his face and furrowed brows, he quickly walked over to Lyrian before kneeling down. Placing his hand over the young boy's glabella, he closed his eyes.

'It—it can't be...' His brows furrowed inward even more.
