[Two-headed blue bird, oversized eyes...]
[Why does it seem so familiar?]
While Yun You was pondering, Master Zero, who hadn't spoken for a while, suddenly broke the silence.
"Oh? You recognize it?"
Yun You asked curiously, "Can you tell me more?"
[It just looks familiar]
Master Zero explained.
[I always feel this pattern represents something ancient, but I can't quite figure out exactly what it is for now]
[I can only say, it's definitely not a good thing and I feel it might carry some kind of curse or negative effect]
[I even think that the severed arm we saw before was Aurora's own sacrifice, the reason being those eyes had attached to her arm, so she'd rather give up an arm than come into contact with the big eyes]
[But unfortunately, she was just an ordinary person, selected by the curse, and she surely couldn't escape it, so in the end she was found by the two-headed monstrous bird]
[However, this pattern is indeed rare, quite rare, from a certain angle, it can be considered a "chosen one"...]
[Someone selected by the two-headed bird doesn't die that easily... just like Aurora said herself—she's already considered the "personal property" of the two-headed bird]
[If I'm not mistaken, the reason she could survive is because she has the protection of the blue two-headed bird... How can a mere human-made headless giant compare to someone bearing its totem?]
[Let me sift through my memory, think it over, maybe I'll find information about the two-headed bird. Then, when we get a chance to leave, let's take her to meet your teacher, maybe your teacher can cure her ailment]
Hearing this, Yun You nodded somewhat understandably, then looked towards the nearby headless giant, and muttered, "So, basically, we still have to deal with this monster first."
[That's the way it is, but you can try using the power of the Invisible Sequence]
[Besides the "Divine Concealment" for hiding aura, isn't there a "second trait" in this Rare Sequence?]
Master Zero's words were true.
The Invisible Sequence indeed has two traits, the first called [Divine Concealment], and the second [Divine Extraction].
However, due to the stringent activation conditions of this second trait and its relatively ordinary effect, Yun You had never tried using it.
But now, Yun You indeed had no better option.
Even if it's hard to use, she had to give it a try.
But as she was about to set off to face the giant again, Aurora suddenly reached out and tugged at her sleeve.
"...?"
Yun You was slightly surprised, turned to look at Aurora, only to find the girl was also looking up at her.
Their eyes met completely.
For some reason, Aurora's originally golden eyes had turned cyan-blue at this moment. Her murky pupils had become extremely clear, like a deep lake, staring at Yun You in a way that made her uncomfortable.
You should know, Yun You was never someone who faltered, and rarely lost a stare-down with others.
But at this moment, facing Aurora's piercing gaze, Yun You inexplicably felt like retreating.
She even had a feeling that the entity staring at her right now was not the fourteen-year-old Aurora Miles, but actually the blue two-headed monstrous bird from the pattern...
The totem seemed to have manifested.
"Attack its neck, through the pharynx, you will see its true heart."
Suddenly, Aurora spoke.
Her voice shifted from her previous despondency, removing all traces of sobs, leaving only a calm and somewhat cold tone, her demeanor was so composed that it caught Yun You and the others off guard.
Aurora's voice still belonged to the teen girl, but her composure rivaled that of a "doll" stripped of all excess emotions, sending chills down one's spine.
"Unlike other organs, the Undying Heart of the young king, due to chemical stimulant exposure, has actively reduced its size, presently only the size of a fingernail."
"It is deeply embedded between the giant's two lungs, surrounded by the toughest muscles and bones, not only difficult to touch but also hard to find."
"But there's no hurry, during my previous exploration, I found a small trick."
"Just pierce the blade into its rib, from the midpoint of its second left rib at a diagonal angle, penetrate inward about 7 centimeters, and you can reach the heart."
"Try to find a way to extract its heart, this giant in essence is the creation of 'modern technology' and 'flesh alchemy', without the heart as its energy source, it will die immediately."
No stutter, not a hint of insecurity.
Aurora seemed to be stating an established fact, her voice even carried a hint of "command," directly pointing out the headless giant's weakness and how to deal with it.
However, this state didn't last long.
When the final word "death" fell, her eyes returned to gold, emotions went chaotic again, she kept shouting...
"Who told you to come! Get lost! This is my brain, not yours!"
"Go to hell... bastard..."
Yun You and the others were taken aback, quite puzzled by her sudden change.
But after pondering, Yun You thought this method might be worth a try.
She then, with Jack and Frost Moon's assistance, approached the headless giant once more.
This time, to be safe, Yun You swiftly swung her blade, cutting off the giant's hands to prevent it from suddenly grabbing her.
Then she immediately followed Aurora's hint, directly plunging the blade diagonally under the creature's rib.
Yun You's blade was initially very precise, aiming precisely at the giant's heart.
But obviously, the giant wasn't going down without a fight.
At the moment the blade tip pierced its body, it suddenly pressed its body downward, causing the blade to miss by half an inch, just narrowly missing the heart!
Meanwhile, its two hands also gradually recovered, combining their strength to swat towards the center, trying to crush Yun You like a mosquito!
But just before those fly-swatter-like hands... were about to close in...
The headless giant suddenly felt the knife Yun You had stabbed into its heart was slowly disappearing.
That girl had lifted the Red Scale Scimitar!
"Strange... Is she mad?"
"Without the knife, she couldn't even break my skin defense... let alone sever muscles."
"What is she thinking?"
The headless giant and "It" couldn't quite understand, but their actions didn't stop.
"It" seemed to see Yun You facing a swift demise.
But in the next moment...
The giant's massive body suddenly froze, its two vigorously swung hands also stopped in place, as if it "crashed" suddenly.
Simultaneously, Yun You withdrew her bloodstained hand from its rib.
Between her fingers... a pitch-black lump the size of a fingertip was slowly pulsing.
This item was the ultimate Undying Organ, the energy core of the headless giant—the King's Heart.
And Yun You's method of extracting the heart was indeed the second trait of the Invisible Sequence.
