The source of the cry for help was exactly the direction Xia De was heading. So he walked forward quickly, and in the white fog, a huge figure gradually became clear.
He was at least three meters tall, and his waist was thicker than three Shads plus one Mia. He was wearing armor made up of scary human faces, and his face was covered with dense knife marks as if he had been scratched.
"Evil spirit!"
The more the appearance of a soul deviates from that of a normal person, the stronger the power of the evil spirit. And the one in front of him was obviously the most terrifying kind of soul in the traditional sense.
The ferocious soul also noticed Shad. When it turned around, Shad noticed that the other party was holding a spear over five meters long, and a young man wearing the uniform of the Royal Army of Delarion was pierced on the top of the spear. When Shad and Captain Rades visited the Veterans Club, they learned about the clothing characteristics of different soldiers and officers. This person should be a corporal.
The sound for help came from him, and his clothes and skin had color, and even the blood spurting from the wound had color, indicating that he was a living person.
The other party also noticed Xia De's figure emerging from the white mist, and tried to stretch out his right hand towards him from the air, but because of his serious injury, the young corporal couldn't even complete the action.
"An ordinary person who strayed into this place by mistake?"
Xia De thought to himself and stopped walking. The tall evil spirit that came out of the white mist also turned to him, threw the living person pierced by the spear tip to the side, and then rushed directly towards Xia De. The momentum of the charge swept the originally still white mist, but such a strong body stepped on the ground, but there was no sound at all.
"The opponent's weapon is longer than mine."
Xia De made a very rational judgment, crossed his hands in front of his chest to draw a silver moon cross light mark, then took a step back and kicked forward fiercely. The cross light flew forward, and the ferocious evil spirit suddenly swept the spear in his hand, offsetting the attack at the cost of the spear being completely destroyed.
"Compared to the Knight's Lance just now, it's not just a simple evil spirit, but also a derivative of this level 0 relic, right?"
Fortunately, Xia De is in this state, and is stronger than normal.
As the spear shattered, his figure silently appeared above the evil spirit's head. He chopped down with both hands holding the sword, and the evil spirit turned around and raised his hands to block it, and then half of its body was chopped into pieces by Shade.
Shade landed on the ground, and the evil spirit, with only half of its body left, quickly swung its remaining left fist towards Shade's head with an agility that was completely inconsistent with its own form. It was too late to raise the sword, so Shade hit upward with his right fist with the soul crystal ring:
"Mind Explosion!"
The huge evil spirit's fist collided with Shade's right fist, and Shade actually heard a loud "bang" in a trance. But this was not because of the collision of the fists, but because of the soul reverberation and the power of the mind explosion that allowed Shade to contact the spirit body. In this world on the border of life and death, Shade's punch produced an effect that he had never imagined before.
Starting from the point where Shade's fist touched the ground, the sturdy evil spirit gradually dispersed into a pile of white light spots, and finally disappeared completely:
"I'm just a butcher who enjoys slaughtering."
After confirming that his opponent had really disappeared, Xia De quickly ran towards the young corporal who had just been thrown away.
He fell on the side of the street with a penetrating wound on his abdomen. Scarlet blood flowed along the ground and was soon assimilated into this world and turned grayish white.
"False immortality!"
Xia De squatted down and immediately put his hand on the other person's chest, then his eyes suddenly widened:
"Why doesn't the spell work?"
It's not that the opponent is dead so the spell cannot be used, but that the spell is completely ineffective against the living person in front of you.
All mortals will eventually die, and false immortality is just a ridiculous consolation. (Chapter 52)
"What? Hazama can't use false immortality?"
This is too close to death.
Without having time to discuss further with "her", Xia De whispered to comfort the corporal whose eyes were gradually losing their luster, and took out the wooden tube from his pocket. He shook it a few times to fill it with water, and tapped the side of the wooden tube with his fingers to give the water the properties of satiety food.
He splashed the water on the young corporal's wound, but this fatal injury could not be healed by the fullness food. Even if the magic had a strong healing effect due to the divine afterglow state, it was only a treatment after all.
The corporal barely opened his eyes and looked at Xia De. He raised his bloody hand with the last bit of strength and grabbed Xia De's sleeve. He stared at Xia De with his already dilated pupils:
"Are you...alive?"
"Yes."
Shade said that he couldn't save him, and this world would accelerate the process of death. Without false immortality, he couldn't save anyone. False immortality was really just a consolation.
"Sir, please, please..."
The corporal's other hand reached for his waist, and Shad saw a pistol.
"Give this to the First Legion, Windy Path..."
Every time he spoke, it was as if all the air was drained from his lungs:
"Captain Ronald of the Third Company at Camp Redwater."
His eyes looked at Shade, who nodded:
"I will."
"Thanks."
A faint voice said, the color disappeared from his eyes, he was dead.
"This is really..."
The stranger had seen other people die before, but this was the first time for him to observe a soul leaving a person with his own eyes after his false immortality was invalidated.
The corporal's soul slowly floated out of his body. It was an ordinary soul, unable to respond. He just floated in this narrow space, like all the souls here, completely forgetting everything.
If it is said that the death of a stranger can really bring great feelings to Xia De, it is a bit exaggerated. But seeing a poor person who strayed between life and death die in front of him, Xia De's heart was still somewhat touched.
He would give the gun to Captain "Ronald", but the most important thing now was to find Father Augustus.
He turned the corpse into a toy and carried it with him. Then, Shad followed the instructions on the holy emblem pendant on his chest and continued to move forward in this gray-white city that looked like Midhill Castle but seemed to have some subtle differences.
Since he had just encountered a living person, Xia De was sure that there must be other living people moving around here. But he didn't expect that after just ten minutes of walking, he would hear another unusual sound:
But this time it was not a cry for help, but a sound of fighting. Shade looked up and saw red mist spreading in the white mist. When he got closer, he heard the sound of bats.
"Um... ... "
He stood still and put on his mask, wanting to see the situation before making any plans. Unexpectedly, the two parties in the fight unconsciously moved towards him.
One of them was an evil spirit, a woman with a transparent black body, floating in the air, wearing a tattered white dress, a crown, and a festering face, holding an incredibly long hatchet in her hand. The other party in the battle, if Shade was not mistaken, was a blood-sucking species, that is, a "vampire" in the traditional sense.
This was not an evenly matched battle. The vampire, who had transformed into a swarm of bats, had to protect a frightened little boy while distracting himself from fighting this powerful evil spirit. After Shade was stained with the blood mist, he was basically sure that the vampire was probably a 5th or 6th ring, because alien ring sorcerers were generally stronger than human ring sorcerers, so the opponent could be regarded as a 6th or even 7th ring human.
The blood-sucking race, which is regarded as half-undead, will not be suppressed or strengthened in this strange world, so the power exerted by the opponent should only be at this level. And that evil spirit is obviously stronger than the blood-sucking race.
While Shade was thinking about something, the vampire transformed into a group of bats also discovered Shade, and a cry for help came from the blood mist:
"Help!"
It's not Drarion language, it's Carsenric language. Fortunately, Shad can understand it.
Xia De took a step back, always keeping himself at the edge of the blood mist. He couldn't get too close, because if he got too close and the evil spirit spotted him, it would definitely turn and attack him.
"Do you know the Blood Spirit School?"
Xia De asked in a deep voice. All the vampires he had encountered in this world belonged to the Blood Spirit School, so he wanted to make sure.
"Blood Spirit School? I know, aren't they in the New World?"
The evil spirit swung the hatchet in the air, and the blade light swept down the bats in large pieces. The blood mist was being eroded by the white mist, and the situation was shifting further.
"Are you also from the Blood Spirit School?"
"Oh, I see. Do you have a grudge against those idiots from the Blood Spirit School? I don't! I can swear, swear on my soul, that I am definitely not from the Blood Spirit School! It's another clan that joined them! I only came here to save my nephew. I have no ill intentions."
Shade didn't say anything, but took another step back. However, before the vampire transformed into a group of bats could call for help again, his figure disappeared in the white mist.
While the tall evil spirit in white skirt was distracted by the bats, Shade appeared behind the evil spirit. But this time he did not attack with a sword, but simply punched.
But this punch didn't work, two arms stretched out from both sides of the evil spirit's body, holding another hatchet in each hand, and slashed at Xia De's fist. Although Xia De dared to fight the evil spirit, he didn't dare to touch the hatchet with his fist.
The fist stretched out in the air, and then a streak of moonlight slashed forward.
clang!
The hastily swung moonlight actually caused the hatchet to break. Realizing that the opponent was distracted and seemed unable to deal with him with all his strength, Xia De moved forward to push away the fragments of moonlight in front of him:
"Moonlight Greatsword!"
The giant sword gleaming with moonlight cut the arm of the spirit waving in front of him. Just as he was about to pierce through the opponent's body with the sword, the evil spirit actually turned its neck 180 degrees, and the terrifying face like a skull was facing Shade.
His mouth opened wider and wider, then suddenly bit towards Shad's head, as if wanting to swallow him in one bite.
But Shade had already encountered this move on Darkness. Instead of dodging, he stretched out his hand and directly inserted it into the opponent's mouth:
"Silver Moon!"
As the bright moonlight shone from the spirit's facial features, Shade immediately retracted his arm and stepped back. In a place like this where there were so many evil spirits, he didn't dare to use the "light spell" to illuminate the entire city, so he had been avoiding using this trick. But since the other party took the initiative to open his mouth, he had no worries.
The soul seemed to be still in the air. As the head was directly illuminated by the moonlight, it first turned into a point of light, and then the whole body turned into the color of lime, and then scattered like a sand sculpture into a layer of ash on the ground:
"I will be a princess forever."
