Through Kieran's [Tracking], the souls of the Snake School traitors that he had just killed appeared from the dead bodies.
These souls were not ordinary wandering souls that were confused and mindless after death. They were more powerful evil spirits, or even evil spirits.
The moment they appeared, the temperature in the temporary hideout plummeted. Especially the bodies on the ground, they were withering with exponential speed visible to the naked eye.
As though they had absorbed the essence of the flesh, the aura of the souls grew stronger once more.
They already had the presence of an evil spirit.
More importantly, the souls knew how to cooperate with each other.
They didn't charge at Kieran like a swarm of bees, instead, they surrounded him from all directions.
Amidst the sharp, ear-piercing wails of the souls, claws as sharp as blades were aimed at Kieran's weak spots.
Sou Sou Sou!
Air-breaking sounds filled the entire temporary hideout.
The souls were supposed to be translucent but with the gathering of so many souls, they started to affect the material world.
Translucent ripples started to form around Kieran's body.
The ripples were like the ripples on the surface of a lake, drowning Kieran within a breath's time.
"It's over!"
Both of their hearts sank when they saw the scene.
The elder who was surrounded by the Snake School traitors quickly retreated to Perry Kaner's side when the wails of the souls sounded.
He looked around vigilantly.
With enough life and battle experience, the old man noticed that something was off.
Perry Kaner, on the other hand, had more thoughts.
Though, it didn't stop them from making their move.
They knew that once Kieran was defeated, it would be their turn next.
In fact, from a certain aspect, the real target of the souls was them.
What they didn't expect was that these dead souls were unexpectedly powerful.
Not only the wails that struck fear into their hearts, but the negative energy that caused the material world to change was enough to make them feel the coldness that was drilling into their bodies.
But compared to the mastermind behind the scenes, what were these?
That's right!
The mastermind!
Whether it was the elder or Perry Kaner, both of them were certain that the souls before them were being manipulated by someone.
Snake school wasn't exactly good at dealing with souls of the dead, but it wasn't like they were completely clueless.
Both of them knew that it was impossible for someone who had just died to form such a soul, unless they had cultivated some kind of secret technique.
Coincidentally, both of them knew this secret technique.
It was a secret art from a certain sect in the grasslands.
It was a secret technique that allowed people to continue living after death.
However, there was a huge drawback.
Not only would they be manipulated to a certain extent, but they would also lose their sanity after a period of time, completely becoming a puppet controlled by others.
But for some people who wanted revenge after death, it was the best choice.
Hatred will always make you lose your mind.
Perry Kaner exchanged a glance with the old man and was ready to find out who the mastermind was.
Because it wasn't just hatred, it was also related to their own interests.
The enemy must be nearby!
But what they didn't expect was that Kieran would be 'taken down' in one go. It was a huge contrast to his previous brave and unparalleled appearance.
It took the old man a while to react.
"Let's go!"
The old man signaled Perry Kaner without a second thought.
However, Perry Kaner shook her head.
Unlike the old man who saw Kieran for the first time, Perry Kaner had a certain level of understanding about Kieran, so she didn't think Kieran would die just like that.
Of course, it was just a matter of fact.
There wasn't even the slightest bit of friendship in it.
The reason why Perry Kaner was willing to wait a little longer was because she was confident that even if Kieran was really taken down, she could still escape from the encirclement of the souls and the mastermind.
So, Perry Kaner saw the exciting scene that followed.
Countless leg afterimages exploded on the spot. It was different from [Viper Kick]'s strangeness, it was a kicking technique that pursued the extreme speed.
Kieran pushed his hands on the ground and rotated left and right, repeating the same cycle over and over again. His spinning body brought his legs flying in all directions.
The leg afterimages turned from two to ten and then from ten to a hundred.
In an instant, the leg afterimages that filled the air were accompanied by endless air-breaking noises, like the waves of the sea, it was grand and endless.
An upward airflow was formed all of a sudden.
Kieran's left hand suddenly stopped and a spark was ignited.
Then, it exploded!
KABOOM!
[Devil Flame] was ignited by [Hundred Violent Kicks]'s qi flow, like a blooming lotus of fire.
The scorching heatwave licked the surroundings, distorting the air.
None of the souls that gathered around Kieran were able to escape, all of them were sucked into the flames. Under the Transcendence kicks and the burning flames, the souls were swiftly turned into ashes.
A couple of [Soul Shards] fell on the ground.
Kieran waved his hand and caught a couple of [Soul Shards] in his hand. Most of them were cracked, only two of them were cracked.
Kieran then jumped up and dashed towards a corner of the temporary hideout.
Musou level [Tracking] allowed Kieran to see every trace clearly.
Even the souls!
Wuuu!
Kieran lashed out with a kick, and the soul fell out of the corner as if it was struck by a battle axe. Its transparent body was revealed right away.
The blazing flames appeared on Kieran's left hand again, growing bigger rapidly.
After falling to the ground and suffering a near-fatal blow, the soul growled at Kieran in a threatening tone before its body dived into the ground.
However, Kieran was faster.
Kieran didn't seem to be intimidated by Kieran's attack.
The Transcendence attack shook the soul before Kieran. Half of its body, which had merged into the ground, was kicked out and its spiritual body started to crumble.
The reason why soul type monsters were hard to deal with was because they could affect one's spirit, burrow through walls, and appear and disappear unpredictably.
With his high Spirit attribute, Kieran wasn't afraid of Spirit authentication. Plus [Tracking]'s special vision and Transcendence attack and fire that could damage soul type monsters, most of the soul type monsters were like facing their natural enemy when facing Kieran.
Maybe there were some special soul type monsters that could avoid this phenomenon.
But it definitely didn't include the one before Kieran.
The devil's flame was thrown down.
The crumbling spiritual body was destroyed.
A slightly bigger [Soul Crystal] appeared in the middle of the flames.
[Name: Complete Soul Crystal]
[Type: Gemstone]
[Rarity: Great]
[Attribute: Slightly increases enchantment success rate]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: A crystallization of a relatively powerful soul! It can provide extra help to the enchanter during enchantment. Of course, you'll need a higher enchantment level to fully utilize it!]
…
"A complete [Soul Crystal] can increase enchantment success rate?"
Kieran glanced over the [Soul Crystal] in his hand with slight shock and then turned his attention to the pile of ashes.
A gloomy, cold aura was rapidly forming inside the ashes.
It was a little familiar.
One of the powerhouses of the Prairies!
Kieran was certain about the source of the aura.
Fuuu!
The devil's flame burned again in his left hand.
An illusory figure appeared from the ashes.
The illusory figure had a human body and half of its face, but the other half was the face of a soul type monster.
The illusory figure looked more and more unreal.
"You …"
The man angrily shouted a single word before his words came to an abrupt halt.
The devil's flame in Kieran's hand that was still charging up was thrown down from above.
