"That guy on the snowy mountain really took me a lot of time. I just barely caught up."
Kenro stretched his strong arms and grinned involuntarily under the red spider lily mask. The spirits under his feet seemed to be responding to his high spirits, whirling and spinning around him.
"For what you didn't do last time, for the harm you did to my body, and for the harm you did to my many spirits.
Today, I will completely wash away this shame!
You will become my spirits and be driven by me for your whole life!"
Waving his arms, the many spirits surrounding Ken Luo turned into countless hands and pounced towards Yang Yu.
Iyas took a deep breath, and a sacred light spread out from her body. When the black spirits saw this light, they immediately avoided it like mice seeing a cat.
But as soon as the light went out, the black arms attacked Yang Yu and the others again.
Yang Yu jumped off Lothkar with Bai Jin. After settling Bai Jin, Yang Yu quickly took out his shield and sword, ready to fight.
Iyas also jumped from Lotkar's body onto the tree, drew her bow again and used [Hunter's Mark] and [Fatal Shot]. The golden arrow broke through the sky and headed straight for Kenro.
The black ball under Kenro's feet boiled up and turned into a solid and heavy shield in front of Kenro, easily breaking Iyas's bow and arrow into two.
The black spirit's arms snapped and pounced in front of Yang Yu and the others. Yang Yu and the others dodged in time and were not involved in it.
The strength of a spirit controller is not determined by the spirit controller himself, but by the strength of the spirit being controlled.
Last time, due to the sudden intervention of the [Red Blood Rose], Ken Luo lost a lot of spirits, and even lost extremely precious contracted spirits, and his strength declined significantly.
However, he was not punished by the sect for his failure. On the contrary, His Holiness the Pope appointed one of his seven disciples, [Generous Gao Fang], to give him a lot of spirits.
Kenro even received the spirit of the giant black tiger as a gift.
Being so highly regarded, Ken Luo was extremely terrified and secretly vowed to wash away his own shame and personally present the soul of his traitor's daughter to His Holiness the Pope.
Unfortunately, the black giant tiger spirit had consumed a lot of its energy in order to hurry on its way, and Ken Luo hoped it could rest for a while.
However, even without it, Kenro believes he can still win steadily.
A large number of spirits whizzed out from under Kenro's feet, gathered in Kenro's hands, and turned into a black ball.
Ken Luo threw a black ball towards Yang Yu and the others. The spirit in the black ball suddenly became substantial, transforming into soldiers on the battlefield or ferocious beasts, and pounced towards Yang Yu and the others.
Yang Yu took a deep breath and accelerated suddenly, avoiding all the attacking physical spirits and rushing straight towards Ken Luo. An orange light rolled up on his sword blade.
Yang Yu's movements were even faster than last time. In almost one breath, he arrived in front of Ken Luo and stabbed Ken Luo's chest with the sword in his hand.
With a swipe of his hand upwards, black spirits suddenly emerged from under Kenro's feet, forming a towering black wall in front of him.
Unexpectedly, this was just an illusion of Yang Yu. Yang Yu retracted his sword, went around the wall, came behind Ken Luo, and stabbed Ken Luo in the back.
Realizing Yang Yu's true purpose, the spirit suddenly climbed up along Ken Luo's feet and went straight to his back.
But it was too late. Yang Yu's sword pierced Ken Luo's back, leaving a bloody mark. Ken Luo now just wanted to shake off Yang Yu's sword, cry out his grievances, and express his pain.
But he knew that he could no longer release his emotions as freely as he did when he first met Yang Yu and the others.
Enduring the stinging pain from his back, Ken Luo commanded the black spirit on his back that was a step late to wrap around Yang Yu's sword. The black under his feet also became more sticky, like a quagmire that he could fall into at any time.
"I am no longer the same as before. You are courting death by coming so close. You and your companions will die here!"
The black under Ken Luo's feet turned into roaring poisonous snakes, biting towards Yang Yu.
At the same time, the real ghost created by Ken Luo was getting closer and closer to Bai Jin and the others. Bai Jin held the fairy's magic stone tightly in her hand and chanted quickly. Finally, a white magic circle appeared in front of her.
"Ice Spear"
The fairy's magic stone burst into dazzling magical light, which was injected into the magic circle through Bai Jin's hand, resonating with the magic that Bai Jin was using. The ice spear, which was originally only the size of a spear, suddenly grew larger and became as thick as a pillar.
The ice spear fired forward, creating a strong whirlwind along the way. The coldness spread in all directions under the moonlight, piercing through the spirits one by one and heading straight for Kenro.
"How is it possible to use such powerful magic?"
His own spirit did not block Bai Jin's ice spear, so Ken Luo quickly redistributed the spirit that was originally attacking Yang Yu to launch a quick defense.
No longer struggling to move, Yang Yu simply let go of the sword that was entangled by Ken Luo's spirit, squatted down, and touched the ground.
"[Bound by Thorns]"
Tons of thorns broke through the thick ground and enveloped Kenro.
Kenro relied on his will to manipulate his spirits. Although blocking his movements could not completely stop him from continuing to weave a shield with his spirits, this momentary distraction was enough to weaken the strength of the shield he wove.
Just as Yang Yu expected, Ken Luo did not tear off the thorns and continued to manipulate the spirit.
A black shield formed in front of him, but the number of spirits that made up the shield was far from the expected number.
The huge ice spear and the black shield collided with each other, and the sharp tip of the ice spear pierced through one barrier after another in front of Kenro.
Yang Yu took advantage of the situation to pull out the sword that was entangled by the spirit and performed a normal combo.
Facing the attack from both sides, Ken Luo looked grim. He was clearly able to suppress them before, but now he was defeated so quickly.
Kenro tried to mobilize his newly acquired powerful black giant tiger spirit for defense.
But it was too late, unless someone could buy him a second or two.
Just as the sharp ice spear was about to pierce his body, suddenly, a black shadow different from the spirit he controlled appeared from Kenro's heart.
This black shadow quickly swelled up in front of Kenro like a balloon, turning into an air cushion, blocking the powerful attack of the ice spear and buying Kenro a few precious seconds.
A huge spirit crawled out from under Ken Luo's feet, submerged him, and turned into a black tiger. It waved its sharp claws and smashed the ice spear in front of it with all its might. It turned around, swung its tail, and swung its hind legs to kick Yang Yu.
"[Shield Counter]"
Yang Yu raised his shield and kicked Zaken Luo, but he was still kicked away by the huge black tiger.
Fortunately, Yang Yu had [Rescue Charge], and with a teleportation he returned to Bai Jin and the others.
