Sophia voluntarily gave up the only weapon she could rely on, and the saber fell to the ground with a "long clatter", which quickly turned into magic and fell apart. This magical manifestation of the weapon returned to its original state.

Emilia nodded with satisfaction at Sophia, who had unarmed, "Finally enlightened? Hehe, you idiot finally knows what it means to give up." If you give up sooner, you can save me a little time, and you won't suffer yourself. ”

Sophia, who was taunted by her, struggled with all her strength to break one of Emilia's fingers that sealed her throat. [Super Tour World Comics/]. Sophia tried her best to feed, and she only moved her finger slightly by 1 or 2 centimeters, but it was enough for her throat to make a sound.

“......”

Emilia felt a little amused by hearing what seemed to be saying something in a voice as thin as a gnat, but since most of her laryngeal bones were still under her control and unable to pronounce properly, Emilia let go of her hand, causing Sophia to collapse to the ground like a rag bag.

"If you have any last words, say them quickly!" said Amelia, in a commanding tone.

What can you say about such a waste? It's nothing more than some begging for mercy or something. The murderous Emilia had heard too much, but in the horror and pleading of the prey, she cut open their abdominal cavity with a knife, and pulled out the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and intestines one by one, and while they were still conscious, they admired the despair and pain of the prey, which was a pleasure that would not be tired of no matter how long it was.

This time, though, Emilia was going to be disappointed. For she could clearly hear that what was coming from Sophia's mouth was not weeping or pleading.

"Cassius, don't compromise ......"

"What?" said Amelia, suspicious of her ears.

"Although...... Peacetime...... It always doesn't matter. But I—I know...... You are...... The strongest, never ...... Don't be fooled, don't compromise...... We...... Trust you......"

In a daze, Cassius heard a familiar voice.

“...... Never be fooled, don't compromise. Cassius, we believe in you, Alice and I believe in you......"

"Sophia!" Cassius snapped into his senses.

“...... Now, even though Alice and I are in crisis, we will not give up the fight, and we are confident that you will fight to the end. Just like the difficulties we have overcome before, hold on, and the victory will be ours!"

yes, why should I give up, why am I so depressed?

Sophia's voice was like an empowerment, and Cassius, whose consciousness was gradually sleeping, suddenly woke up.

Why did I become so cowardly? My companion was in danger and I was indifferent? Is this what I should do? No!

Cassius's consciousness gradually widened after a crack in the window was opened. He began to realize that the series of fears and negativity he had in this house was by no means something he had in the first place. Yes, it must be. Ever since he entered the mansion, such psychological hints had begun to work. From the first self-denial, then gradually infected by fear, tragedy, pain, despair, until finally completely gave up resistance and voluntarily was completely devoured by the evil spirit in this room.

How can this be!

The magic was back on him. Cassius was finally able to feel the water elemental again.

Nameless Town, Underworld, Tower of Seven Sins, Barbarian Territory, Snowy Federation, Blood Mountains...... After a series of bloody battles of life and death, Cassius's magic power has unconsciously increased significantly, even if he does not have the "Grip of Endurance", how can this level of spell casting exhaust his magic power so quickly? However, if he subjectively thinks that he has exhausted his magic power, then even if he still has magic power in his body, he really can't use magic anymore. That's the terrible thing about silent psychological suggestion. Before you know it, you can completely destroy yourself.

You can't win. You're scared. You won't want to stand up again. You'd love to rest. All you need is acceptance......

Just when Cassius was a little sober, a tidal wave of psychological hints surged in his mind, impacting Cassius's mental defense again and again. Fear, despair, sadness, depression, pain, giving up...... All kinds of negative emotions filled his mind. The magic that had been accumulated with great difficulty quickly faded again.

However, how can the glimmer of hope that Sophia has tried her best to create be so easily buried in the darkness of despair? Now that it is known that it is the influence of psychological suggestion, there can be a way to counter it. Cassius struggled to recall the people closest to him, the shared memories he had with them.

Companions of life and death: Sophia, Joyka, Dani, Alice, Memphik......

Respectable elders: Teacher Reguno, Uncle Mekone, Knight John, Minister Shuvashenki......

The most important relatives: Ray, Ischenova!

"Ahhh......hh

The so-called "people are afraid of ghosts and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points", those evil spirits that have been whispering around him and are invisible to the naked eye were shocked by his momentum and retreated.

The magician condensed all the frozen qi he could control on his still movable left hand, clenched his palm into a fist, and slammed it into his eyes!

"Smack"!

The bridge of his nose was smashed by his fist, but the freezing air was also transmitted into his skull, turning into a pure energy, using Cassius's own bones, skin, and flesh as the medium of transmission. Spirits made of pure energy are not affected by physical attacks, but are not resistant to energy attacks. The female ghost who had been attached to Cassius's back and covered Cassius's eyes with her transparent hands let out a terrible scream under this powerful pure energy attack and was forced to withdraw from Cassius's body.

Cassius was not only obscured by his eyes, but his entire mind. And now, the curse of "ghost blinding" has been lifted!

Cassius' face was covered in blood, his eyes red with his own blood, but there was no time when he could see more clearly than now.

He saw his surroundings clearly, saw the essence of the enemy, and finally knew what it was that had been fighting him all along. Tables, chairs, dining rooms, frescoes, lamps, walls, floors, doors and windows, Cassius could see countless souls in pain. Everything in this room, all the furniture, even the whole house, is made up of countless evil spirits.

The true body was torn down, and the wraiths surrounded Cassius with their teeth and claws. But the "ghost blinding" has been broken, the psychological suggestion no longer works, and Cassius did not retreat, but took a step forward without fear.

"Come on, I won't be afraid of you!"

The resentful spirits will only choose people who are in poor spirits, depressed or have evil thoughts, and for the brave who are strong-willed and clear-minded, they dare not take half a step beyond the thunder pool, but can only retreat step by step.

The tables and chairs in the meal began to become transparent, not only in the meal, but also in the lobby, the maid's dormitory, the storage room, the bedroom, the corridor, the study...... All the places that Cassius had been to or had not been to before began to crumble, and even the entire old mansion fell apart.

In a violent shaking, Cassius could no longer maintain his balance, fell to the ground, and when he looked up again, he saw only the misty white light smoke around him, and as the white smoke dissipated, the mysterious old mansion was gone, and Cassius found himself on the ground of a hill outside the entrance of the village.

There was a person, too, who appeared in front of Cassius as the white smoke dissipated.

"You're finally here!" Cassius wiped the blood from his forehead and rose from the ground.

This person is none other than the "Netherworld Corridor" Sariktin, who suddenly disappeared without a trace after the appearance of the haunted house. At this time, this strange man in a long white robe was still in the same state as before he disappeared, Mu Ran stood in place, did not speak, did not make any movements, let the hair draped in front cover his true face, and stared straight at Cassius through one eye exposed from his hair.

"Don't think you can continue to do anything wrong, I'm going to beat you here, no, I'm going to beat you!" Cassius declared war in an impassioned manner.

He already knows the true face of this enemy.

Sariktin is not a person, or an individual, this silent eccentric, is actually an aggregate of a large number of resentful spirits. And the "haunted house of resentful spirits" that appeared before was turned into by Sariktin itself.
