The Hero Turned Into A Potato And The World Fell To Ruin Chapter 45: To Survive Or To Fight Back?

"After researching for many years, I eventually found a way to control the blood moon." As Myza said that, he raised his right arm.

Then, to Liu Ji's astonishment, Myza's right arm turned into fine sand and fell to the ground.

Next, Myza gently moved his shoulder, and a wisp of sand rose from the ground, transforming back into his hand, leaving Liu Ji staring with his mouth agape.

"Th-that's…" Liu Ji was stunned and at a loss for words. Upon recalling the sadness and worry shown on the faces of Yaine and the others, he suddenly understood the implicit meaning behind this.
