Although beavers are not aggressive creatures, they can even be called timid, and their ability to defend themselves is extremely weak.

But their extremely sharp teeth can easily tear through large trees and even build dams in fast-flowing rivers.

Coupled with the lightning-fast movements of the spirit body.

Ivan, who was desperately entangled by the evil spirits, had just killed three of them with his sword, when a wooden stake was directly chewed up by the densely packed "beaver" spirits.

The invisible barrier breaks down immediately!

Whoosh——

The evil spirit that found it impossible to possess Ivan stopped doing useless work and endured the burning of the sun and turned into white mist and flew out directly.

Alvin stepped forward and waved his sword.

Phew! Phew! Phew!...

The sword blade stained with holy water only cut off part of the mist on it, but the effect was extremely limited for such an evil spirit whose body was composed of many souls.

Maybe it's not as damaging as the sunset's continuous burning...

Although I have not studied whether there are levels within evil spirits, Ivan feels that the level of this evil spirit should be similar to the seven "murderers" he encountered.

They all belong to the kind of weird spirits that possess some evil spirit characteristics and are on the same level as second-level human supernatural beings.

But this "evil spirit that lost a child" is even more elusive than the "murderous ghosts" that have been transformed by evil gods for special purposes and look like ghosts but more like humans.

Although its direct lethality is an absolute weakness, its special abilities of possession, atomization, differentiation... make it extremely capable of saving lives!

This is also the main reason why Ivan prepared to restrict it with a spiritual barrier from the beginning.

In order to hunt the "Evil Spirit Dust", even though Alvin and Milan thought they had made sufficient preparations, at this time, due to their lack of experience in fighting the spirit body, they accidentally let it slip out.

No wonder many indigenous tribes also worship these named evil spirits in addition to the orthodox totems.

It's like a dog-skin plaster that sticks to you and you can't pull it off. It makes you sick and annoying to death, and the cost of getting rid of them is too high. In the end, you simply compromised and traded your faith for peace.

The only good news is that "Pocatello" has also not acquired the immortal nature of evil spirits, and is still afraid of the sun.

At the same time, after giving instructions in the spiritual connection with Milan, a silver dagger engraved with blue runes and inlaid with pure sapphires was dropped at his feet.

The shadow surged and disappeared in an instant.

"Kaka...kaka..."

The dagger has been taken away by "Kaka" hidden in Aiwen's shadow.

It has been more than three months since it was born, and the little lizard is growing very fast.

Especially after Ivan simulated the shadow world environment on the ship and successfully cultivated the seeds of the eggplant-like plants he collected, he fed them with the flesh and blood of demonized creatures in the material world and even the occasional essence fruit.

The lizard, which was originally no more than a forearm long, has grown to one and a half meters as quickly as if it were inflated.

At first glance, I thought it was a small crocodile.

From this, we can basically conclude that this guy’s parents should be giant lizards like Godzilla, and the future is promising!

In particular, its intelligence grows extremely fast, at least it is much smarter than its stupid cold-blooded animal cousins, and it can already complete some simple tasks independently.

Ivan is very much looking forward to its further performance when he can use the "Blood Transformation" series of witchcraft after he is promoted to an official wizard.

Woo——

The atomized evil spirit in front suddenly disappeared in front of Ivan.

at the same time.

Having already moved to the crowd in the sun, an indigenous man holding a musket smiled ferociously and suddenly pointed the gun at Ivan.

Obviously, even after losing its host body like "Brown Bear Warrior", this murderous evil spirit never thought of giving up.

Even because Alvin has never hunted his "child" beaver, he cannot use the established rules to kill people or possess him with a curse.

But of course we must try our best to kill this "outsider" who is doing bad things for us!

boom--!

Fiery lead bullets flew towards Ivan.

but.

Unless it is a dense array of muskets, sporadic shootings like this are no longer any threat to Ivan now.

clang!

With a slight swing of the sword, the incoming lead bullets were directly deflected away by the spine of the sword.

Even though he was more than ten meters away, Alvin came to this native in just one step.

However, the possessed evil spirits are emboldened.

He threw away the empty musket, pulled out the steel dagger he had exchanged for fur from his waist, and traced it back and forth on his chest, as if he was thinking about where would be the best place to skin him.

This is obviously where those bloody "skinless men" came from.

Through the eyes of the native, you can still see the frightened look of the original owner of the body. Even in the possessed state, he was fully aware of everything that happened to him.

provocative!

The meaning is obvious: 'There are so many objects here that can be possessed. Who can be saved faster, or can I kill them faster?'

That is, as an evil spirit, taking away the life and death of human beings!

Just like humans do to beavers!

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Among the crowds who were hiding nearby, the tribal leader couldn't help but beat the tambourine again.

But he no longer has the ability to summon the power of the "Spirit of the Giant Bear", and only stimulates the power of the ritual tambourine named "Teponaster" itself.

【Shamanism·Requiem Drum!】

He hopes to use this to stabilize the souls of the tribesmen and prevent others from being possessed by evil spirits. However, it is difficult to say how effective it will be.

So Alvin decided to use his own method:

"I'm sorry, I have to apologize to everyone first!"

A wave of his hand scatters a patch of flat brown seeds.

flo——

In the green magic aura, seeds exploded one after another, and a large winding vine with green leaves grew rapidly, like a snake, tying up all the personnel except the main combat forces, Milan, Gary, and Apsova.

.

Of course, it also includes... the three arakkoa who have joined together and have the rank of apprentice knight.

"ah--!"

Even though they had extraordinary reach, they were not prepared for the fact that Ivan, who was obviously one of their own in a navy uniform, would suddenly attack them and be easily subdued.

Creak... creak...

For those who are tied up, not to mention skinning themselves, even simple breathing requires all their strength.

This is still the result of Alvin's intentional control. By using the [activated plants] from the seeds he cultivated, he can achieve complete control, even if he directly breaks the bones of these ordinary people, it is easy.

This move is a huge blow to the bottom of the pot.

If the evil spirit dares to continue to possess me, I will only experience the powerlessness of being a silkworm chrysalis, and no one can hurt me.

At least until now, it has not shown the ability to directly kill the possessed person with its thoughts.

Now everyone is in the sun, out of the shadows.

Aiwen took out the holy water again.

If it wants to avoid being burned by the sun, it can only choose a person who has hunted beavers to possess it again, or... it can temporarily retreat.

Understanding that Aiwen's approach was the most correct choice, Apsova did not intervene, but shook his brows fiercely.

I thought that Gary, who was huge and wearing heavy armor of pure steel, would be the strongest among these people. I didn’t expect that this young-looking Phaletis tribesman, in addition to being superior in force, was also a powerful man.

The spell caster!

The power of these outsiders goes far beyond the superficial muskets and artillery...

The intention of skinning "himself" failed, and "Pocatello" could not move. He glared fiercely at Alvin who was gradually approaching him, looked at the "holy water" in his hand, and finally did not choose to remain in a stalemate.

"Kekeke...kekeke..."

A weird laugh came from his throat, like teeth fighting.

Later.

Bang——

The possessed native fell to the ground, and the evil spirit had escaped.

Although his heart was filled with resentment and hatred for the world, even his limited wisdom made him make a wise choice not to continue the stalemate.

Moreover, the entire Pocatello is within the scope of one’s activities, and the days and days are long.

Woo——

In the mist, the white ghost figure on the other side of the Lengshui River Bend has reappeared.

Beside it, a group of beavers that were smooth and smooth but seemed to be carved out of the same mold emerged from the water and surrounded its feet, making "squeaking" sounds.

Turning his head to look at this side of the river, a pair of vicious eyes swept over everyone. It was as if he was bidding farewell to the living people, and as if he was making a final declaration of ownership of their souls.

Especially...Evan who interrupted his revenge for the "child".

Tread..tread..tread..

Facing its cold gaze, Alvin stepped forward without fear.

Walk all the way to the river, step into the shadow cast by the forest on the other side, and let your own shadow blend with it.

"Kekeke..."

Seeing Ivan leaving the sun, the evil spirit on the other side was a little eager to try, but considering that he could move around freely even in the shadows, he was no match for him.

I hesitated for a moment but didn't really take action.

Seeing that the evil spirit was not fooled, Aiwen felt a little regretful, knowing that it couldn't be that simple.

Seeing that the fog on the river was getting thicker and thicker, he knew that if he didn't take action, the "evil spirit dust" that reached his mouth would fly away.

"Milan, do it!"

After receiving Aiwen's spiritual message, Milan, who was staying next to the large army, immediately sat on the ground.

Turn the silver pocket watch hanging on your chest upside down to represent the switching of time and space;

The hands form a triangle in front of the chest, representing the balance and stability of spirit, spiritual energy, and matter;

There is an abstract pattern of an eye drawn on the palm of the right hand, which represents the vast power of the "all-seeing eye" of the prophecy school.

Then close your eyes and close the windows of your soul.

rad——

【Witchcraft·Spirit World Travel!】

As a "prophet", Milan gained purer spiritual power after abandoning most of his offensive spellcasting abilities.

In terms of early warning, detection, psychic, doom and curse, etc., he possesses miraculous abilities that other wizards of other schools cannot match.

"Spirit World Travel", which can move freely in the form of a spirit body and even travel between two worlds, is one of the representatives!

Whoosh——

A faintly luminous humanoid spirit suddenly appeared in the spiritual vision. With just a flicker, it followed an unpredictable trajectory and came to the side of the evil spirit that was obscured in the mist.

A weak but unshakable pale golden light glowed in his right hand, and he grabbed the evil spirit's neck.

next moment.

The bodies of the two spirits froze at the same time. Not to mention atomizing, dividing, possessing... they just couldn't move.

"Kaka!"

Just as the call fell, shadows suddenly protruded at the feet of the two spirit bodies.

A large black lizard curled its long tail around a gorgeous dagger with flashing light, and stabbed it from bottom to top into the evil spirit's dry chest.

Bang——

Like a huge flash bomb, the dazzling silver light that can only be observed in the spiritual world illuminates almost the entire river bend.

Wait until the light dissipates completely.

There was only a handful of flickering light particles floating in the air, which was what Alvin had been thinking about for several months - "Evil Spirit Dust"!

"Huchi...huchi..."

Behind Ivan, Milan, whose spirit body had returned, gasped and stood up:

"MD, this thing is so dangerous, I almost thought I would be killed as well.

Next time you ask me to help you, I will increase the price!"

[Rune Silver Dagger·Demon Demon!]

A highly targeted magical creation, while extremely powerful, it also has great limitations.

Limitation 1: Disposable utensils are expensive to make. After use, the runes collapse and the silver decays.

Restriction 2: Only for "abnormal" existences that do not have entities, such as resentful spirits and evil spirits.

Restriction 3: If the user is a spell caster, he will also be "banned" (this is one of the reasons why Ivan did not stab it himself).

This is Alvin before setting off to the New World.

In order to collect "evil dust", he went to the Crow Market in "Newport" to collect high-quality goods. Even with the "discount card", he paid a huge sum of money that was enough to make him feel painful.

It is said that this orphan dagger came from the "Starry Night Order" believed in by the desert kingdom of Heimaar.

The true god they worship, "Brilliant Starry Night", is in charge of mysteries, stars, gates to the spiritual world, and prophecies... He is one of the most mysterious true gods, possessing all kinds of mysterious and unpredictable powers.

This kind of dagger produced by the "Order" has the attribute of "Demon Breaking", which is claimed to be able to repel evil spirits and even harm certain "concepts" that form their core. It is very expensive and rarely sold out.

However, even if it is suspected of killing a chicken with a knife, it is still worth it for Alvin.

Even the fellow travelers who were still tied up didn't have time to take care of them.

Stepping on the river to the other side, use a crystal bottle to collect all the faint light particles floating in the air.

After destroying the evil spirits.

There was neither a golden blessing from heaven nor a so-called rescued soul thanking Alvin.

Because what matters this time is their soul essence!

Under the power of the [Demon Breaking] dagger, all the spirits that make up the evil spirit "Pocatello" have been completely destroyed!

Observing these light and qualityless extraordinary materials under the setting sun, Alvin couldn't help but grin. He couldn't wait to start preparing the "psychic potion".

That is the last hurdle before you can officially become a wizard!

Turn around.

Ivan looked at the indigenous leader Apsowa who was squatting next to the "Brown Bear Warrior" and checking his injuries.
Chapter completed!
