"Iyas!" Lotkar looked back at Iyas and let out a quick growl.
"I know."
Closing her eyes, Iyas carefully sensed her surroundings, but she found nothing and could not sense any darkness at all.
There is only one explanation for this situation now, they are trapped in the barrier of the cursed sect [Cocalos the Moderate].
Lotkar, with the priest on his body, ran towards the direction where Yang Yu was fighting.
In theory, the barrier will not change the structure of a certain space. It is just a shell covering a certain space. The connection between one place and another is fixed and will not change.
However, even though Lotkar passed through the place where Yang Yu fought the devil, he did not touch the shell of the barrier, and there was silence all around.
Noticing that the arrow of light had completely disappeared, Ias raised her head.
"What on earth is going on?"
It was clearly a critical moment, and the devil and the disciple who suddenly appeared were extremely powerful, and it was hard to guarantee that Yang Yu and others would not be injured, but they inexplicably stayed away from all disputes.
Lotkar pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that the cursed disciple created a barrier that is very similar to some underground maze levels. What we see may just be a projection of the original world."
"Then how can we escape from here? We are not magicians. We cannot detect the existence of the barrier like Bai Jin, nor can we remove the barrier."
"If we can find the creator of the barrier, there may be a way. But we cannot be sure that the creator of the barrier is inside this barrier. If the creator of the barrier is outside, we can only rely on others to defeat her."
Iyas frowned, took out the [Holy Light Catalyst Stone] and stared at it for a while.
"Perhaps, we can use the [Holy Light Catalyst Stone] to try to destroy the barrier."
“We’ll use it in the worst-case scenario. Besides, we haven’t found the edge of the barrier yet.
Let's go! You all hold on tight, I will go forward to find the creator of the barrier and the edge of the barrier.
You also have to be careful, as we don’t know what dangers we may encounter on our way forward.”
The priest on Lotkar nodded. It was better to move than to stand there and do nothing.
On the other side, the Goddess Cult and [Corpse Collection] also encountered trouble. Groups of black fog returned and surrounded them from all directions. Countless spirits roared towards them from the black fog.
The flower basket drove the fishman's contracted spirit to fight back, and the sharp long sword slashed at the spirit again and again.
After several encounters, the members of the expedition team who fought the spirits again found that there were countless familiar faces among these spirits.
These familiar faces were not like other spirits who attacked without saying anything. Instead, they kept muttering, "I shouldn't have come to participate in this crusade", "It's all your fault that I'm dead", "The opponent is too strong, we can never win, you might as well die early and come to accompany me".
A few people with weak willpower, when they saw the spirits of their dead companions, were accidentally tricked. Their hearts were gradually filled with negative emotions, and they walked into the black fog alone, and could not be stopped.
Ikaro Flo shouted hoarsely:
"They are all dead and have become puppet spirits of others. Their words are all untrustworthy. Do not show any mercy. Eliminating them is helping them to be liberated."
Soon after Ikaro Flo finished speaking, some spirits started attacking people they were familiar with, reciting all kinds of memories, using threats and inducements to the living, and dragged several people into the black fog, becoming part of the black fog's power.
After being baptized by the black fog, the spirit became extremely powerful, almost as strong as a contracted spirit.
The spirits controlled by Ikaro Flo and other members of [Corpse Collector] became weaker and weaker with each collision.
"Master." Hualan looked at Ikaro Flo, whose face was pale, and wanted to say a few words of concern.
Before Hualan could finish what he wanted to say, Ikaro Flo spoke:
"The situation is quite bad now. Almost everyone is tied up. Hana-lan, do you remember what I taught you about the weaknesses of the spirit manipulator?"
Hualan nodded. "The strength of a soul controller is determined by his soul body. Soul controllers are usually very fragile. The best way to defeat a soul body is to find the soul controller's true body. Without the soul controller's soul body, it will lose its combat effectiveness."
"You know what I want to say." Ikaro Flo pointed his ten fingers at the target and mobilized all his contracted spirits at once. "We will hold on here for now. The task of finding that guy is left to you."
Hualan looked stern, nodded, put away her contracted spirit, clasped her hands, and small fish gradually emerged around her, forming an extremely large school of fish.
This vast black fog will devour spirits, and the psychic who controls the black fog may also be hiding in it. The spirit in the flower basket must be prepared to never return. Only in this way can it continue to explore outward after exploring the black fog.
Controlling so many spirits at once is a huge challenge for Hualan. If the spirits are attacked too violently, she might fall down, but Hualan has no choice.
The only lucky thing is that her brother is not here. If her brother were here, he would definitely talk nonstop out of worry.
Prepare the fish spirits, and throw all the fish spirits into the ground with a flower basket.
The spirits in the black fog like to devour, so make your own spirits so numerous that they can’t eat them all!
Yang Yu, who was fighting with Malbus, also noticed the changes happening in other places.
First, a layer of golden light shield enveloped Iyas and the others, making them disappear on the spot; then [Diligent Zero Technique] launched a dangerous air battle against Bai Jin. Yang Yu still remembered clearly what happened to Bai Jin that day. The confrontation between Bai Jin and [Diligent Zero Technique] was a dangerous battle of revenge; finally, Yang Yu saw the re-emerging black fog completely engulfing the Goddess Cult and [Collecting Corpses in Coffins] who had rushed over.
What Yang Yu was worried about finally happened. At the critical juncture of defeating Malbus, the Curse Cult sent people to launch an unexpected sneak attack.
Yang Yu also wanted to help other troops escape from danger quickly, but Malbus's attacks and skills came one after another.
Demons have no stamina, so they use all their strength in every attack. Even if they join forces with He Meng, Yang Yu can only barely gain the upper hand.
Lang held the water blade in one hand and attacked the demon again, barely making up for a little bit of the output.
To be honest, Yang Yu is willing but unable to handle matters in other areas.
but
Not all incidents require him to save the situation. Even if the disciples of the Curse Sect may gain new power from the devil, Yang Yu believes that others are capable of dealing with the disciples.
What he had to do now was to keep calm and never let the demon in front of him take his eyes off himself.
