Sorry, I'm late today, but the update has been delivered, so much support from everyone.

A hint of hesitation appeared in Rhaegar's mind, and the geist suddenly realized that there was no need for him to risk fighting an opponent he was not currently sure of defeating to save Willy - he had obtained the soul shard, and the loyal crystal had transformed his body for him with the last of his strength, and the purpose of his trip to the swamp had been fully achieved, and even far exceeded expectations, and he no longer had to go deeper into the swamp or stay with these explorers.

The thought quickly took over his consciousness, and the undead's principle of survival first, only for oneself became the dominant part of his mind again at this moment, and Rhaegar finally made up his mind to abandon his partner, he took a deep breath and prepared to leave here.

Before he was about to turn around, Rhaegara's gaze inadvertently swept over Willy, whose whole body was firmly bound by tentacles, and because of the suddenness of the incident, the smile on the female warrior's face had not even faded, and her beautiful eyes were still looking at him, which contained too many emotions to describe in words.

"You look good with a smile, at least for the young opposite sex, and no one has ever told you that?"

- No one has ever spoken to him like this, but as an undead, appearance doesn't matter to him, only survival is what he cares about most.

"There are some people, they don't have to know each other for a long time, they don't even have to know each other deeply, but they have experienced common hardships and dangers, they support each other in the most critical moments, in battle, you can safely give their backs to them, they will use their lives to keep you safe. ”

- Maybe so, but that's just him using them, and for him, everything in this world is just a tool to an end.

"In the eyes of all of us, you are already our friend, and I hope that I, we can be your friends too. ”

- As a geist who occupies the human shell, no one really sees him as a friend, and he doesn't need any friends.

- He needs to.

In an instant, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended on Rhaeggar's soul, and the original intention was bombarded without a trace in the blink of an eye, and his body that was about to retreat suddenly changed direction, and as the blazing flames rose all over his body, Rhaegar shot like an arrow at the tentacle that was dragging Willy into the swamp.

From the time Rhaegar was about to escape until he changed his mind to attack the swamp monsters, it all happened in the space of a second, and the body of the flaming geist had already slammed into it as the tentacles carried Willy into the mud. The heat instantly burned the tentacles the thickness of an adult's arm, and Willy regained her freedom, but because the tentacles were too tightly entangled, she had lost consciousness due to suffocation, and the body of the female warrior lay flat on the swamp, slowly sinking under the effect of gravity.

While the flame shield on his body burned his opponent, the huge reaction force from the impact caused Rhaeggar's body to fall heavily to the ground a few meters away from the tentacles, but by this time he was already out of his body, and the translucent geist quickly sank into the swamp under the cover of fire and night, and found the exact location of his opponent in the shortest possible time.

The body of the swamp monster does not have a fixed shape, this creature that lives in the mud of the swamp and rarely comes ashore is like a large, sticky paste, when they are moving, they will transform themselves into the most suitable shape for moving through the muddy water, when they hunt, they will turn a part of their body into several long tentacles, and when they face the enemy, they will change into the most suitable form for battle according to the surrounding environment. With their sturdy skin that can ignore most magic and almost all weapons, and with terrifying strength enough to rival dragons, and with an unstoppable venom that can shoot from any part of their bodies, they are the undisputed overlords of the swamp.

However, in the face of the attack on the soul, all this was useless, and the geist easily passed through the invulnerable body of the swamp monster and invaded its soul, and the next moment, he and the other soul engaged in a fierce battle.

The vast majority of things in this universe are incapable of harming pure souls, and as a result, almost all living beings do not deliberately seek a way to defend against soul damage—in fact, such methods are almost non-existent in the current universe—and when faced with a master of soul attacks like Rhaeggar, the only thing they can do is to resist with instinct and the power of the soul itself. In terms of the power of the soul itself, the Swamp Demon was even slightly superior to Rhaegar, but just like a battle between a reckless man with only brute strength and a warrior skilled in martial arts, the superiority in strength did not give it the upper hand in the battle, and after a third of a second equivalent to the outside world, the Swamp Demon lost.

Before turning his body into a sharp sword to pierce the core of his opponent's consciousness, Rhaegar suddenly changed his mind, this swamp monster is undoubtedly the most powerful presence in this swamp, and its intimidating power against the indigenous creatures here is irreplaceable.

A ray of light emanated from the geist's hand and shot into the core of consciousness of the swamp monster curled up in a ball, and then, a strange symbol appeared in the soul of both Rhaegar and his opponent, it was a brand of loyalty, this spell passed down from ancient times, only the gods knew about it, it was one of the abilities that Rhaegar gained after fusing the soul fragments in the crystal, and anyone who mastered this spell had three chances to subdue the existence of the power under him as a slave, and from this moment on, this swamp monster would always be Rhaegar's most loyal servant。

A moment later, Rhaegar returned to his body, and at this time Willy was almost completely submerged in the mud, and without any hesitation, the magic hand belonging to the fourth-order magic quickly appeared above the swamp with his thoughts, and then grabbed Willy's body and fished her out.

"Wake up quickly," the geist muttered almost nervously as he cast his healing spell, "Please, wake up." His hands trembled slightly, his eyes fixed on Willy's face lying on the ground, and his panic made him almost use the wrong magic.

Willy, who was in a coma, suddenly coughed, and then slowly opened her eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked, a little confused, "I remember as if something had struck me." ”

"It's just a little problem," Rhaegar said calmly, "it's all right, all you need now is rest, and I promise you that you'll be the same as before tomorrow at dawn, and then we'll go to Heim and them together." ”

"You've saved me again," Willy said when Rhaegar frowned, "I thought we didn't need this anymore," he said, a smile suddenly appearing on his face, "We're friends, aren't we?"
