Immediately after, with a "snort", Ian suddenly opened a hole in his left leg pants. The wound was not deep, but blood immediately oozed out.

Zandar found himself powerless, and his hammer couldn't touch the banshees, who ignored him and just flew around Ian.

As Mister said.

Marianne stayed out of the way for a thought had just crossed her mind. Ian had been here for a week or two, and in order to train him to exercise the strength of his psychic powers, Marianne trained him to meditate in addition to his knowledge.

Meditation boosts his ability to focus.

Marianne now wants to see if Ian has achieved any results after this period of training. She is a good research scholar but not necessarily a good teacher, and Ian is a successful psychic experimenter but not necessarily a good student.

"Focus. Marianne reminded.

Ian really wasn't focused enough. Although he immediately embodied Zach and Andrew to defend himself against the enemy with his combat experience and increased spirituality, his mind was still thinking about the problem of Mister, the consequences of fighting here, what actions Zandar might take, and Marianne's reaction, and even how to appease Mister afterwards and how the whole thing would end. Only he didn't pay attention to the woodland banshee, at least not enough. He underestimated the enemy.

The Banshees of the Woodland had no physical body, so neither Zandar's attempt to smash them with a warhammer nor Ian's attempt to pierce them in the chest with a longsword did nothing. Only pure imagination and skillful skill can hope to capture their figures.

Ian urged Zach and Andrew to suddenly take a few steps back and break away from Zandar's side, and the banshees followed.

Ian took a breath, stopped thinking about it so much, and gathered his spirit.

At the same time, Zach and Andrew's blue spirits became more and more translucent and dazzling.

"That's enough, Mister!" Zandar tried to convince Mister to stop messing around, the woodland banshees weren't small monsters to play around, they were alien beasts known as ghosts.

Suddenly, and again, with the flashes of the banshees, Ian's back and shoulders were attacked in succession, and he hung up.

Mister closed his eyes in horror and exclaimed with some chagrin, "It's too late...... I can only name the curses, not take them back......"

Suddenly, a harbish cry came, and Mister couldn't help but open his eyes again.

At that moment, he happened to see Zack's shining blue-and-white sword pierce the banshee's chest. The banshee struggled a few times, and then turned into a green flame and dissipated. But the bad thing is that the remaining three banshees, on the contrary, have increased their speed, and no longer hide their forms, but just fly around Ian as fast as they can.

They flew faster and faster, and finally rose into the air like a whirlwind, overlapping each other!

The gauze skirt with a faint white light fluttered and drooped, and a tall demon spirit appeared in front of everyone. Her hair was purple, and though there was no wind here, it fluttered and rose gently upwards like a flame. Pure white lian

On the gauze skirt, the lace neckline and cuffs are delicate and gorgeous, but unfortunately the owner who wears it is a female skeleton.

Zandar was stunned, stared blankly at the demon in front of him, and muttered a familiar name: "Bride......"

The "bride" is a feared spirit.

Whenever the sun sets in the west, as long as the story about the "bride" is remembered, no matter how playful and naughty the child is, he will obediently go home and throw himself into the arms of his parents.

It is said that it is afraid of the morning sun and will only appear in the afternoon. Perhaps it is because the bridegrooms always go to greet their lovers early in the morning and then go to the chapel together at noon to marry with the blessings of relatives, friends and gods. The "bride" did not wait for her lover before her death, and this happy scene would stab the "bride", so she never appeared before noon.

No one knows how the first "bride" on the continent of Tivak was born, but there are always people who claim to know the origin of the "bride", and even say it with affection and nuance.

Legend has it that her name was Tracey Winness, and she lived in a small town with her family. She was born in the family of Wennis, an obscure little nobleman in the southern part of the empire, and was the daughter of the family. Although the Wennes family has a humble aristocratic status and no real power, the family education is very strict. Her parents have been strict with Tracey since she was a child, hoping that when she grows up, she will marry into a high-ranking aristocratic family, and the status of the Winnis family will also rise.

But it backfired, and she fell in love with her governess, Lanslier.

The difference in their identities and the secular vision of the people at that time doomed them to not be together. But the stubborn young man tries to defy fate and prejudice with vigorous and bold action - they plan to hold a secret wedding without the blessing of relatives and friends.

One night, they agreed to meet in church the next morning, when the first rays of the sun were shining, to complete the wedding. After agreeing, Lancelier quietly left alone, while Tracey, who was nervous and excited, couldn't sleep. After tossing and turning, she took out the wedding dress she had secretly prepared and changed into it, and decided to go to church in the dark overnight.

The girl, who is fearless because of love, plans to keep vigil in the church all night and surprise her lover at dawn. She wants to engrave her appearance in the church in a long dress on the heart of her lover in the morning light.

But the next day, the well-dressed Tracey waited until daylight and the vendors began to put up their shelves for business, and did not wait for Lanslier to appear. She didn't sleep all night, and she was so anxious that she couldn't wait for her lover, and she was described as haggard.

As the sun rose, many people were already coming and going around the church, and someone began to notice her, the Tracey of the Winnis family, dressed up and alone in the church. People whispered because they had never heard that the Winnis family was going to marry off their daughter today. Tracey is slowly overwhelmed by disappointment and despair, and she has to think that Lanslier has temporarily defected and abandoned her. Just as she was about to return to the mansion in shame, a team of guards came up to her carrying a male corpse.

Tracey shuddered

The hand lifted the bloodied coarse cloth that covered the corpse. Although the corpse's face was bruised and swollen, she recognized her lover Lanslier at a glance. Great grief came like a waterfall covering her world. The captain of the guard conveyed her father's words to the effect that she should go back on her own, and that she would be shut up and punished by confinement, etc. But Tracey couldn't hear anymore, and her world was filled with only echoes of pain and grief, and the shattered corpse of her lover in front of her.

It turned out that Tracy's father had already discovered their intimacy, and as soon as Lanslier left the night before, he was taken to the dungeon by the family's guards. There, Tracy's father threatens to let Lanslier personally cut off Tracy's attachment to him, but the impulsive and passionate Lanslier rebukes Tracy's father for hypocrisy, snobbery, and callousness.

The mention of aristocracy in the words touched the backlash of the declining old nobles of the Winnis family. In a fit of rage, he ordered Lanslier to be tortured, but the young teacher did not compromise until his death.

Tracey descends into endless darkness. In her grief, she felt deeply ashamed of her suspicion of her lover.

That day, Tracy's family didn't wait for her to come back. When the Winnis family was about to send a guard to look for it, the mayor of the town hurried with the town guard, carrying torches.

Tracey hanged herself, wearing her white wedding dress, stained with dust and blood.

She dug up the earth with her bare hands, buried Lanslier behind the church, and hanged herself in the church. The stepping stone was the pulpit that was supposed to be used to read the sacred message. She felt shameless in the face of Lanslier, and at the same time, with deep hatred, she ended her life alone in the church.

This is blasphemy! When the mayor and the monks in charge of the church sent by the Holy See to the town found out, they cared more about the reputation of the town and the Holy See than the life or death of a pair of young people. The monk was angry and annoyed, so he went to Wennis's house overnight.

But for the Winnes family and the town, this was only the beginning of tragedy.

When the people tried to retrieve Tracey's body, a woman's shrill laughter suddenly came from the black cavernous church, clear and cold, which frightened the family members who were about to enter and fled immediately. The sound echoed through the empty church, and the white wedding dress looked vague in the darkness, as if it swayed gently in mid-air, as if echoing the laughter.

That night, no one dared to enter the church, no matter how much the mayor urged.

Early the next morning, at dawn, the mayor ordered the captain of the guard to personally lead people into the church.

The poor captain of the guard mustered up the courage to rush in, only to find that there was nothing on the beam where Tracy's body should have been hung. Just when he was amazed, a dirty rope wrapped around his neck and instantly suspended him in the air. The temperature of Vengeance Moon was not high, but Tracy's corpse had decomposed into a dry skeleton, and it looked much taller than the original, and the pure white wedding dress looked short and strange on her skeleton.

Her dry bones tugged at the other end of the rope, floating beside the suspended captain of the guard, her hair loose and hollow

's eye sockets glared at the captain of the guard who was about to be strangled. Fortunately, the other guards rushed in together, and they didn't care about tricks, so they just threw their weapons at the floating "bride".

"Bride" Tracey let go of the rope in her hand, but disappeared with a sinister laugh.

The captain of the guard fell off the beam, broke his leg, and barely survived. But he will never forget the way the "bride" stared at him for the rest of his life, and the nightmares never stopped, and it didn't take long for him to fall into madness.

No one knows the name or location of the town, as the locals have all disappeared in the revenge of the "bride".

Of course, these are legendary stories, which have been "artistically processed" by bards and may not be credible.
