Chapter 331: Death of a Ghost (Part 3)
At the beginning, the ghost was indeed very cautious and conservative.
She considered whether there was a closed door at the end of the secret passage and whether someone was guarding it. She also considered whether someone had set a trap or ambushed her in advance.
That's why she specifically used "Life Preservation" to hide herself.
In order to have enough mana to deal with emergencies, she found Miss Janet who was having fun with her clients.
As a "Blood Mage" of the Path of Love, Janet can use her own vitality to cast degraded spells instead of mana. Janet's Path trait allows her to actively link with a target, paying her own vitality as fuel to cover half of their spellcasting costs.
Although Forge, Ghost, and Janet were not strictly teammates, they were all acquaintances in real life. They had a basis for cooperation.
The furnace was too strong and voluntarily gave up the ceremony. This ceremony was very difficult and required the two of them to work closely together.
Although Janet felt that she was living a good life and that as a transcendent being on the path of love, she had conversion value in the eyes of these Moon Children, if she performed better, she would probably be bought directly by the client.
But he still readily agreed to the ghost's request for cooperation.
To put it simply, Janet imitated the "living corpse preservation" to hide herself in the ghost's cloak, and then acted as a blood pool to bear the ghost's spellcasting consumption, allowing him to store sequence magic.
The petrifying ray that was used to trigger the sequence spell was also used by Janet on behalf of the ghost.
The Blood Mage's characteristic of "all mana pools are converted into vitality" allows him to obtain enough equivalent mana by burning life when everyone's mana pool is very low.
As long as they could capture a person alive, they could absorb their life force through a feeding ritual, which was equivalent to replenishing their mana.
The Preservator is particularly good at control spells, so they work together perfectly. If only the Forge was still alive, their combination would be even more perfect.
The forge could summon a set of demonized heavy armor and configure extraordinary weapons suitable for use in various environments. This was the professional advantage of the blacksmith, as they had crafted countless extraordinary items themselves.
And if she could hide in this kind of knight armor with the two of them, there is no doubt that the strength she would display would be much stronger than this rag.
Although she can only bring one more person besides herself, and if she does, she won't be able to cast spells. However, Janet can imitate "Life Preservation" to enter, and then both Janet and the Forge can hide in the armor and cast spells.
This is simply invincible!
Even if the armor was suddenly broken, as long as they could buy some time, the forge could summon a new set of armor and then start the cycle again - as long as they didn't summon fire elves, it wouldn't consume much mana, and Janet's blood pool could be quickly restored by eating extraordinary people.
This way, it's like a perpetual motion machine! If this effect can be achieved, she won't know how to lose.
Even if the Son of the Moon comes, she is confident that she can easily defeat him with an energy level of one and a half!
——At the third energy level, they can even fight against multiple opponents at once, and at the fourth energy level, they can also fight alone!
But now, they just break at the touch of a finger—
Janet didn't have time to cast a spell to retract the rag, so she could only take it off her body and throw it towards Aiwass and the others. Then she turned and ran.
Bayard looked at the naked man running away, frowning and subconsciously putting his hand in front of Aiwass: "Do you want me to help you kill them?"
"You're not needed. Just watch from the side."
A sweet and pleasant voice sounded.
A pitch-black shadow wolf rose from under Aiwass's feet, its scarlet pupils staring at the rag floating in the air, emitting a dim yellow glow.
The wolf's face revealed a humane sneer: "Volunteering to leave the rear? That's really touching..."
The next moment, countless shadow blades pierced out from the walls on both sides!
Like a closed fang, it opened and closed quickly several times, chewing the rag into pieces!
A little girl with golden hair rolled out from the void in a panic.
She raised her head and looked at Aiwass in horror: "Why would the gray that has adapted to the Tao have..."
Before she could utter the word "Shadow Demon", she saw the frail black-haired girl suddenly gave her a terrifying and hideous smile, and she forced herself to shove the last two words back.
The ghost reacted immediately——
Hui and Alai exchanged identities, and "Alai" was a man!
——But even so, it’s too much to contract the Shadow Demon before reaching the third energy level!
Why don’t you join the Rosicrucian Church when you are such a genius?
"It's time for you to die, kid." A low and hoarse voice sounded.
She suddenly felt her heart pierced by a sharp shadow blade, and her entire consciousness was dragged into the abyss.
This extremely real feeling of death made her suddenly struggle frantically as if she were drowning.
What's going on? What's going on?!
Didn’t I die during the promotion ceremony... But this feeling...!
The next moment, the ghost suddenly opened his eyes.
"Is it... a dream?"
The young man, who looked to be only in his twenties or thirties, suddenly sat up from the bed and looked around in panic.
He discovered that the room was not red and there was no ritual formation on the ground.
“…Didn’t I participate in the promotion ceremony?”
The ghost murmured.
Is it a precognitive dream?
What does it mean to dream about this...
"Maybe," a light child's voice sounded in his ears, "it means you want to come and play with me."
He turned around suddenly and saw a pale-skinned girl playing with a ball at the door of the room.
The room had been opened at some point, but there was only darkness outside the door.
The girl clearly didn't even raise her head, but it was as if she was looking at him.
The ghost felt his scalp tingling.
The girl suddenly raised her head and gave him the same sinister smile as the black-haired girl just now: "You believe it."
Meanwhile, Aiwass's voice slowly rang out, "Don't worry, Shadow Fiend. I'm going to do an experiment, so don't start yet..."
The blonde girl was lying on the ground with a look of fear on her face, staring blankly ahead.
Behind her, the spirit form of the earthbound spirit Alice stood quietly, looking down at the ghost. Aside from the summoner Aiwass, only those with clairvoyance could see her.
The Shadow Demon's tone was a little unhappy: "Who is she, my dear master?"
"It's a new friend, her name is Alice."
Aiwass said with a smile: "When I met her, she was with Little Butterfly; and when I brought her back, you were with Lily."
"I don't think it's necessary at all."
Shadow Demon commented: "She may be powerful for ordinary people, but for my respected and special master, her strength is meaningless. I can deal with weak enemies for you; and she cannot control powerful enemies. You deserve a stronger follower - such as me."
"Don't worry, she won't drink blood for the time being." Aiwass comforted.
"...That's okay." Shadow Demon replied reluctantly.
Bayard on the side burst out laughing.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the front.
"The philosopher's trap has been triggered."
Aiwass ordered Alice, "Chase him and kill him. Then begin hunting the Moon Children—start with the weak ones, and prioritize maintaining your own existence."
"yes……"
Alice replied lightly, looking down at the ghost again.
The ghost suddenly trembled all over and urinated.
She was actually scared to death!
With the replenishment of vitality, Alice's body, which had just become somewhat transparent, became solid again.
She disappeared like an illusion and went hunting towards her designated target on her own.
"That's what she can do that you can't."
Aiwass lowered his head and touched Shadow Wolf's head, chuckling: "You have to stay with me all the time."
The shadow demon whimpered like a dog, wagged its tail and licked Aiwass's face.
Bayard on the side suddenly felt a little unhappy again.
