It seemed that the evil spiritâs power was very sinister.
It could pass through walls and its hands could restrain a demon hunterâs power.
In just a few seconds, Roaldâs eyes had turned red, which was absolutely abnormal. The spiritâs extraordinary power was corrupting him!
Struggling hard, Roald suddenly reached for his belt with his right hand, pulled out a metal vial, and uncorked it quickly. He then poured the liquid over the pair of hands clutched around his neck.
The warm light full of power burned the half-transparent hands and made a sizzling sound. Heavy white smoke quickly rose up.
This was the holy water which the church specially made for use against spirits!
The pair of hands almost melted and quickly pulled back.
Roald was finally rid of the hands and fell to the floor. He could finally breathe again and he panted harshly. The purple bruise left on his neck was in the shape of a hand, and looked rather creepy.
Thulhu also noticed that the bruise was slowly fading. This was the power of resistance which a [Demon Hunter] possessed.
If Thulhu was the one who had been seized by the throat, he would have been killed in a second.
Thulhu didnât stay idle while the thoughts ran through his mind. He picked up a small coffee table and smashed it down on the last fiend.
Roald uncorked another vial and looked around. âThis isnât simple! This has become a complicated case! The church has to pay more!â
Thulhu totally agreed with Roald.
Thulhu had injured the last fiend, which now didnât dare come any closer to them.
The fiend was no longer a concern for Roald and Thulhu. What they feared now was that evil spirit!
Thulhu arrived at the front door and pulled it open. It was completely dark outside.
The thick darkness formed a wall which blocked their way.
Thulhu reached out his hand and touched the wall. He couldnât believe it!
âThis is a rank two elite!â Roaldâs eyebrows were knitted tight. âThe power of its projection into reality has temporarily sealed off this area!â
âAnything we can do?â Thulhu hurriedly asked.
âNeither of us can travel to the spirit world to kill that thing in order to leave this place. Even if we could break the wall, we would probably find ourselves in an unknown dimension.â Roald took a deep breath. âThe good news is: As the core of this place, that evil spirit also canât leave.â
Thulhu didnât see how that was good news.
He looked around, on full alert. Suddenly, he looked up!
Long, black hair hung down from the ceiling, followed by the red dress!
Its four limbs were dreadfully twisted and its head was upside down. Crawling on its arms and legs, the thing looked like a giant spider.
That pair of hands had healed!
âHow many vials of holy water do you have?â Thulhu asked Roald in a low voice.
âFour⌠Not sure if itâs enoughâŚâ Roald was a bit upset. âThis is all my fault. I didnât knowâŚâ
Roald trusted the church too much.
After all, even a professional scout might miss some key information in a case.
âWe must save the water from now on!â
Thulhu took a deep breath. He now had 150 XP.
He knew that right now, he was only a burden to his brother. But if he could hit the target of 200 XP, he would be able to instantly become a spirit medium!
A spirit medium was an expert in dealing with evil spirits!
He looked at Roald. âYou trust me? Give me the gun!â
Roald put the silver gun in Thulhuâs hand. Suddenly, the evil spirit above them disappeared.
âIt has three purifying bullets. They donât work as well as the holy water. Watch out. The thing can make itself invisible!â
Thulhu gripped the revolver and looked around to find the last fiend.
Killing a fiend would give him 50 XP, which meant that killing one more could turn him into a spirit medium.
Of course, becoming a spirit medium didnât necessarily mean that Thulhu could beat the evil spirit, but at least Thulhu would be less of a burden to Roald.
Thulhu quickly located the last fiend.
It was hiding around the corner behind the couch. Its ears trembled slightly.
Thulhu had to remain calm. He carefully approached it.
To make sure that he wouldnât miss, Thulhu had to get closer first. He took a deep breath.
Roald wasnât sure what Thulhu was doing, but he followed Thulhu very closely.
Suddenly, a sharp pain ran through Thulhuâs left arm. Thulhu instantly sensed danger!
The red dress was now very close to Thulhu. Hands reaching out, its target was Thulhuâs neck.
Roald roared like a beast and pounced on the evil spirit like a black bear.
Grappling fiercely, Roald and the red dress knocked down a wall, behind which was only endless darkness.
Seeing that Thulhu was left on his own, the fiend around the corner jumped out.
Thulhu was pissed. Obviously, even the fiend believed that he was weak.
The fiend suddenly moved to the other side. Thulhu missed!
âTiger Power! Tiger Style!â
Thulhu hacked at the fiend with his left hand.
At that moment, great power flowed through his left arm. Even the fingerprints left by the evil spirit quickly faded.
Thulhuâs strength had been boosted to 2.0!
That was the strength of an extraordinary!
The fiend was thrown to the floor by Thulhuâs Tiger Style, the immense force even cracking the floor.
Seizing the chance, Thulhu aimed at the fiend with the revolver and pulled the trigger again.
The fiendâs head exploded.
The notification popped up.
Finally, 200 XP achieved!
Thulhu clenched his fists. He had to turn himself into a spirit medium immediately!
