Slash after slash.
[Acard Blade] in Kieran's hand was like the most precise diamond cutter. Each slash was able to find the gaps in the armor and deliver the most direct damage to War Ghost.
Soon, the 'War Ghost' couldn't even squirm anymore.
As for the sound?
The moment Kieran slit its throat, it couldn't even let out a sound anymore.
However, Kieran was still using [Acard Blade] to slash War Ghost again and again.
The Northerners who were running away stopped in their tracks.
Each and every one of them was astonished by the scene before their eyes.
What was going on?
He didn't just knock War Ghost down!
He even tortured War Ghost to death?!
How was this possible?!
The Northerners who saw the scene had an inconceivable look on their faces.
At the same time, the North Boss who controlled War Ghost had the same expression on his face.
"Impossible!
This is impossible! "
The North Boss shouted in the secret room.
He could not believe that the War Ghost, who could remain unscathed in the face of gunshots and explosions, would be cut by a saber.
"Get up!
"Get up!"
Tear him apart! "
The North Boss was chanting his incantations as he shouted.
Unfortunately, it was of no use at all.
After War Ghost's joints were destroyed, it was like a puppet that had lost its strings. Even though it could respond to the North Boss, it couldn't move at all.
Bang!
The North Boss punched the ground hard.
Blood gushed out.
However, he didn't care about it.
All he knew was that his War Ghost had failed.
"As expected, it's too difficult to forge a new War Ghost!
Even with the North's geographical advantage, it's hard to do it!
Maybe I should … Ugh! "
The North Boss muttered to himself but before he finished, a small knife plunged into the back of his neck.
The knife's angle was very ingenious. It avoided the hard bones and stabbed upwards, coming out from the North Boss' mouth.
Puk!
Blood gushed out from the North Boss' mouth. He stared at the figure that suddenly appeared behind him and fell to the ground.
However, he didn't die right away.
His superior vitality allowed him to hold on for a while longer.
However, this kind of support only brought about pain.
The figure that appeared out of nowhere took a test tube from the North Sector boss' hand without a second thought.
At the same time, he took off the bracelet on the other party's wrist.
"Don't look at me like that."
"These things aren't that secretive."
"I can sense it too, not to mention that you often check on it."
Bloody Mary said with a giggle.
"How, how did you find me?"
The voice did not come from his mouth, but from his stomach, as if it was ventriloquism.
"It's too easy."
"After I asked the 'people' around about the so-called 'War Ghost', I learned that it was not a 'living creature' as rumored. It must have been manipulated.
And if the controller wants the War Ghost to arrive at the battlefield at the right time, he must have a deep understanding of the North Sector!
Bloody Mary continued with its giggles.
"You're sure it's me just based on this?"
The boss of the North Sector was in disbelief.
"Of course not."
"But it's also easy to identify you."
"With a puppet like War Ghost, there won't be a lot of people staying in the North Sector. Everyone wants to leave this hell."
"Or even if it's to strengthen War Ghost, he should at least temporarily improve his life."
"But based on what I know, there isn't anyone like that in the North Sector recently."
"Plus the timing of War Ghost's appearance, there's only one possibility left: he has already improved his life a long time ago and is still living quite well in the North Sector."
"With this premise, how hard would it be to locate you?"
Bloody Mary asked in return.
"That's right!
It's not hard!
But … "
"You talk too much!"
The boss of the North Sector sneered.
Bang!
The man's abdomen burst open and a bloodied monster with the head of a rat and the body of a baby crawled out of the man's stomach.
The moment the monster came out, it threw itself at Bloody Mary.
Bloody Mary seemed to be scared out of its wits, standing there without budging an inch.
It allowed the monster to get closer.
Just when the monster was about to pounce on Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary showed a delighted smile.
'Shit!'
The monster's heart skipped a beat, its lunging posture defied the laws of physics and stopped in mid-air, swiftly drawing a distance away from Bloody Mary.
Then …
Nothing happened.
There wasn't an ambush as expected.
There weren't any sudden changes either.
Bloody Mary was the only one standing there with a smile.
"You're bluffing!"
The monster roared and dashed towards Bloody Mary again.
However, when it reached Bloody Mary, it returned to where it came from.
Still, nothing happened.
The monster looked at Bloody Mary with a doubtful gaze.
It didn't know whether Bloody Mary really had something to rely on or was it bluffing.
If it had something to rely on, why didn't it make a move?
Did it see through its actions?
What if it was bluffing?
It was too calm.
Its acting skills were too good.
Bloody Mary didn't even bat an eye at the monster that returned twice, its smile still on its face. In its heart, however, it was praying and urging the monster.
"Boss, hurry up!
I can't hold on much longer! "
The monster then dashed towards Bloody Mary for the third time.
This time, it didn't return to where it came from.
Instead, it tentatively extended its short but sharp claws.
Bloody Mary kept its smile away, raising the knife in its hand up high with a serious look.
"Godslayer Slash!"
A low shout resounded in the secret chamber.
The monster that extended its claws quickly retracted them and returned to where it came from.
'It's a trap!
Thank goodness I'm careful!
Don't you dare lie to me! '
The monster thought.
Then, under the delighted gaze of the monster, Bloody Mary turned around and ran.
The monster was stunned.
Then, a heavy sense of humiliation rose from its heart.
"How dare you lie to me!"
The monster roared and dashed towards Bloody Mary.
This time, the monster didn't stop, its sharp claws piercing Bloody Mary's chest.
However, the feeling of emptiness stunned the monster again.
Although it was severely weakened, Bloody Mary still had some of its own characteristics. It might not be as strong as when it was at its peak, but it was enough to deal with the situation before its eyes.
Bloody Mary ignored the sharp claws that pierced its chest and raised the knife again.
"Godslayer Slash!
Trying to lie to me again? Do you really think I'll fall for it again? "
The monster laughed coldly. Did Bloody Mary think it was an idiot?
Falling for it once was enough.
Did Bloody Mary really think it would fall for the same trick again and again?
Bloody Mary underestimated it!
The monster raised its other claw without a second thought.
It didn't believe Bloody Mary was undead.
As long as its attacks accumulated to a certain level, it would be able to kill this bastard that humiliated it.
The monster's claw reached out again.
At the same time, a sharp knife quietly approached it.
When it plunged its claw into Bloody Mary's chest, the sharp knife also plunged into its ugly head.
Puk!
The monster's body started to tremble violently.
However, the back of its head was pierced, so its struggles were futile.
Kieran slightly turned his wrist and the monster's head was completely cut open.
Brain matter splashed everywhere. Kieran stepped back and dodged the filth.
Bloody Mary, on the other hand, went all out and let the brain matter fall on the ground.
Then, a lit molotov cocktail fell on the monster's body.
"Aaaargh!"
The monster that was supposed to be dead suddenly screamed in agony.
The monster's body was quickly charred by the flames.
Even so, Kieran still used [Acard Knife] to cut the body carefully.
Bloody Mary stood aside with its hands down, not even daring to breathe loudly.
It wasn't fear!
What was there to be afraid of about its boss?
'I just don't want to disturb boss!'
'That's right, that's it.'
Bloody Mary habitually comforted itself, and the moment Kieran turned around, it passed the test tube and the bracelet to Kieran.
Inside the 20ml test tube was a light red liquid.
[Name: Healing Potion (Witchcraft)]
[Type: Potion]
[Rarity: Great]
[Attribute: Recover 1 Lethal Damage]
[Prerequisite: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: No]
[Remark: This is a special potion concocted by one of the masters of Witchcraft School and Potionology. It has magical powers and can save your life during a crucial moment!]
…
The bracelet was black in color, and there was a layer of pale white bone-like carving on it. Looking at it together, it looked like a lying skeleton or the bones of a wild beast.
[Name: Soul Holding Bracelet]
[Type: Accessory]
[Rarity: Rare]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: Strong]
[Attribute: 1. Keep; 2. Rearing]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: Spirit D]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: No]
[Remark: Souls are indispensable to the practitioners of Witchcraft, so they try their best to preserve fresh and intact souls. That's how the Soul Holding Bracelet was born, but this Soul Holding Bracelet is a fine item.]
…
[Keep: Keep a wandering soul in sight (The kept soul has to go through a Spirit authentication no lower than D, those who fail will be kept in the bracelet). Current soul count: Rearing: The kept soul can be reared through some rituals to achieve control.]
[Note: Rearing requires mastery of Witchcraft Mystical Knowledge.]
…
After glancing over the attributes of the two items, Kieran placed [Healing Potion (Witchcraft)] into his backpack — it was an outdoor backpack that he bought from the market. It wasn't as good as his original equipment, but it was better than nothing.
Then, holding [Soul Holding Bracelet] in his hand, Kieran activated it without a second thought.
Instantly, a huge amount of souls filled the secret room.
Unlike the souls that were devoured by Fedora.
These souls were very conscious and could communicate with each other.
Especially when Kieran held [Soul Holding Bracelet] in his hand, communication became much easier.
"Go back to where you belong!"
Kieran said calmly.
"Yes, my lord."
"Thank you, my lord."
…
Words of gratitude came from the souls. Then, a sea of fireflies flew up to the sky and floated further away.
What followed was the notification of Spirit being unlocked again.
[Spirit broke through a layer of seal, increased from A- → A]
…
He had to expiate almost 400 souls to unseal his Spirit by one rank. It wasn't a surprise to him because he had used 200 Crossing Copper Coins to unseal his Spirit to A- and it was enough to remind him that he needed to do so.
As his mind cleared up, Kieran was in a better mood. He waved at Bloody Mary, walked out of the secret room and grabbed a bag.
"Boss, what is this?"
Bloody Mary looked at the bag curiously.
"That War Ghost's armor."
Kieran answered.
"Did you come late because you were removing the armor?"
Bloody Mary felt hurt when it thought about how its boss was late because of the armor removal.
Was it worse than a set of armor?
"Nope."
Kieran shook his head firmly. Just when Bloody Mary felt a little better, Kieran continued, "It's because I brought them along that I'm late."
Huu!
Bloody Mary took a deep breath.
It tried its best to maintain a smile.
It was just that the late autumn wind was cold.
Once again, he missed the West Coast.
The sun was warm and dazzling.
The waves were strong and comfortable.
That was its home.
But …
It couldn't go back!
It couldn't go back anymore!
Looking at the dark figure before it, Bloody Mary once again had a feeling that its future would be as dark as that figure.
There would be no light at all.
"Do you feel the change in you?"
Kieran suddenly asked as he walked forward.
"Changes?"
Bloody Mary jolted.
"The number of contracts you signed with me has exceeded the limit of this dungeon world. As my strength slowly unlocks, you will also recover.
"In fact, as long as the number of contracts reaches a certain limit, as I grow stronger, you should grow stronger as well."
Kieran explained.
"Huh?
It really does seem like it!
It's weak but I am a little stronger than when I first entered this dungeon world! "
Bloody Mary exclaimed in shock after carefully sensing its own body.
"Mm."
Kieran nodded, turned around and continued walking.
Bloody Mary followed without a second thought.
What light?
What sun?
What waves?
It was a creature of darkness, it should stay in the dark.
Staying beside its boss was its best choice.
Kieran curled his lips into a grin when he sensed Bloody Mary's joy from the contract.
Then, he suddenly paused.
Without a sound, Kieran merged into the shadows.
Bloody Mary even dived into the wall.
