Unable to Help Himself

"Sorry, Mr. Holmes, let’s not fight face-to-face," Naberius muttered. "I haven’t transformed this new body yet and don’t have much power. But I’m a dark musician. You won’t find it odd if I make a despicable sneak attack, right?" Looking down, he studied the metallic heart in his hands. Coldness flashed past his eyes. "Since you’re not at the Resonance stage yet, let’s undergo the ‘sound of heart duel’ fairly!"

He abruptly clenched the beating heart. There was a sharp sound and it resonated with Ye Qingxuan’s heart. This was a direct attack to the sound of heart that acted as life itself. This was the basic competition between two musicians!

Ye Qingxuan’s melody instantly weakened. His face darkened but then became red as if his blood was boiling. The aether in his hands practically dissipated. Naberius cackled. He played his odd instrument and continuously controlled Ye Qingxuan’s new heart. It beat wildly as if it would not stop until it exploded.
