Chapter 256: The Wild Ghost (Part II)
, the black devil with a certain strength can use this trick to make his soul fly out of the body and possess it on other life forms that have resonated with his energy, so as to achieve the effect of manipulating the opponent's body.
However, since only the soul can enter the target's body, this will leave the caster's body in a state of suspended animation without the control of the soul. Therefore, when using it, the caster usually needs to hide in the dark for the safety of the main body.
With the improvement of Artevans, he can even completely turn his body into black mist when he uses it. The body that turns into a black mist covers the surface of the target's skin, and the soul enters the subject's body.
At this time, Lil was in a state of being used by Atvance, and the black mist emitted from the surface of her body was the atomized body of Atvance.
At the time of effect, the soul that manipulated the body will be replaced, and the soul of the original owner of the body will fall into a state of unconsciousness and be protected. In other words, it is Artevans who is now manipulating Lil's body, and Lil's own soul is temporarily asleep.
The reason why Artevans did this was because he knew that although he was better than Gust in terms of overall strength, he was stronger than Gust in hand-to-hand combat.
In layman's terms, the body of every living being is a ship, and its soul is the fixed pilot of the ship. When it takes effect, the fixed pilot of the ship will be temporarily replaced by another temporary pilot, and the original basic performance of the ship will not change, but it will be better due to the technology of the temporary pilot.
Using the manipulation of Lil's body allows Artvis to make up for his lack of melee combat ability, and the gap between Lil's own hard power and Gist can be filled by Artfans' strong strength.
Gerst has the power to manipulate the souls of the dead, and he can naturally see the scene where the soul of Artevans replaces the soul of Lil. Looking at Lil, who was surrounded by black mist and manipulated by Artevans, Gust subconsciously took a step back, his expression becoming more vigilant.
Despite being in a state of madness, that doesn't mean Gust will lose his mind.
"Hmph, that's a bit of a headache." Gerst said with a sneer.
While witnessing the battle between Lil and Lyrea, Gerst discovered that although Lil was an assassin in terms of attack, he was still very fierce in frontal combat. Gist thinks that his frontal combat ability may not be stronger than Lil's, not to mention that Lil's strength has improved in a short period of time after being possessed by Atvance.
However, Gerst felt that Liel in front of him seemed a little awkward, he didn't think it was a particularly perfect possession, and he could feel that Lil's body aura was a little chaotic.
"Are you ready?" Lil...... To be precise, Lil, who should have been manipulated by Artfans, smiled at Gist, and then opened the Blood Devouring Seal, which instantly flashed behind Gist, and quickly danced the dagger in his hand.
"Kawasheng!" Gerst let out a loud roar, and immediately, Chuansheng's revenant spirit flew out of the ghost abyss as fast as possible and entered Gerst's body.
In order to be able to deal with Lil like this now, Gerst knew that it was not enough to have the revenant soul of the monster that he fused with when he entered the state of madness, so he used the revenant possession to possess Kawasheng, who was a swordsman before his death.
Although Gust realized that his combat power at this time seemed to have increased a little because of the effect, he didn't care, and he still didn't know the specific effect.
But his current state didn't allow Gerst to calm down and think about why he was stronger again, and his only thought now was to repel the enemy in front of him and get out of here and head to Fox City. The ** who fought with the strong was put aside for the time being.
Possessed by Kawayu, Gerst strengthened his melee abilities, and in the face of Lil's dazzling attacks, he calmly and quickly swung the oni abuchi in his hand to contend with it.
The waves of qi caused by the collision of weapons, the cyan flames and black mist that were constantly sputtered from the battle between the two of them, were destroying the surrounding houses little by little.
The two of them were constantly changing their positions as they fought, chasing, counterattacking, and fighting each other, and Lil's extremely fast speed and the speed that Gust had forcibly increased after his madness made it impossible for the two to see what they were doing from the perspective of a bystander during the battle.
The two of them were like a cyan lightning bolt and a scarlet lightning, constantly converging, colliding, then separating, and meeting again.
Gerst and Liel (Atfans) have lost count of exactly how many rounds they've played, but the only thing they know is that they still can't tell the winner.
At this time, the west side of the city of Flor, where the two were fighting, had been almost completely destroyed.
However, even if it is difficult to distinguish on the surface, it is actually the side of Artevans who has to work harder.
Artevans is not Lil himself, he naturally can't use his abilities 100%, and Lil's soul seems to have been intermittently resisting Atvance's possession.
(Lil her...... Hesitating? )
Artevans could clearly sense that Lil's soul seemed to want to squeeze Atvance out, but probably because of Lil's loyalty to Atvance, this resistance was not strong.
However, just as Lil's body pauses a little, Gerst catches a flaw.
"Crescent Blade ......," Gist muttered, and the monster with the long knife that had already entered Gist's body reappeared.
The long knife in the monster's hand erupted into a fierce white flame, and the light emitted by the slightly curved long knife blade was like a crescent moon.
The monster aimed at Lil's neck and slashed at it.
At this moment, the surrounding environment suddenly appeared dark for a moment, and then a strong mental fluctuation appeared.
Due to the influence of mental fluctuations, Gust was affected to a certain extent, and because of this, the movements of the monster revenant who was manipulated by Gust with mental power came to a slight pause.
Taking advantage of this gap, a red dot flew out of Lil's chest, and the black mist covering Lil's body instantly left Lil's body, wrapping the red dot and gradually turning back into the entity of Artevans.
"Black Death Realm...... ' Artevans held out his hand in front of him and whispered.
Less than a second later, everything in Artfans' field of vision seemed to flicker suddenly.
The ground cracked, and powerful dark energy poured out of the cracks in the ground and rushed straight into the sky. Everything in Artefans' vision was swallowed up by darkness in an instant.
The dark energy that rushed into the sky lasted for ten seconds before gradually dissipating, and everything in front of Artevan's eyes was completely shattered by the attack just now.
But......
"Did you let him escape?" Atfans sighed helplessly, and he let Gust escape once more.
Although Artevans didn't know what method Gust used to escape, he could still vaguely see that after the dark energy poured out, Gust seemed to have entered a different dimension, and his body gradually disappeared, rather than disappearing suddenly.
Letting Gerst escape again made Artevans a little unhappy, but it only made him a little more interested in Gust.
Just as Artevans was looking ahead thoughtfully, Lil's voice came from behind him, "Master, I'm sorry, it was Liel who dragged you down......
Lil, who had recovered from the negative effects on her body, stood behind Artevans with her head bowed and an apologetic expression.
"A hundred years, still hasn't you come out of the shadow of the year?" Artevans didn't look back, just asked.
"Yes...... Lil was sorry, although Lil knew that it was just her own willfulness, but ...... Lil was like an ordinary little girl who had made a mistake at this time, and even a little cute.
The shadow that Artevans refers to is the brutal mistreatment that Lil endured a hundred years ago, when she was still a human, in the three days before she died.
The events of those three days were the main cause of Lil's distorted personality after her resurrection, and made her resist any physical contact with the opposite sex, even if it was just a slight touch on her skin.
Even though Artevans was Lil's master, and even though Artevans completely transformed his body into a black mist, it still made Lil's heart resist. That's one of the reasons why it doesn't work out in its entirety.
If it weren't for the fact that Rusha spotted the abnormality in time through the crystal ball in the distance and immediately summoned the clone to help, I'm afraid that Gust's attack might really hit Lil.
"Anyway, Lil is willing to be punished." Liel fell to one knee, ready to await Artevans' punishment.
However, Lil's body was quickly held up by a force.
"It was my mistake not to understand your thoughts, I was a little too self-righteous." Artevans turned and spoke to Lil in a very calm tone.
Then, he changed his words, "However, it is an unchanging fact that Gerst escaped from my hands because of you, and I will give you a chance to make amends now, are you willing to accept it?"
This sentence of Artevans undoubtedly cheered up Lil.
Liel took a deep breath and smiled again, "As long as it's the master's order, Lil will do it!"
Seeing Lil's form return in an instant, Atfans also smiled.
"Then, to make amends, use your own way to clean up the remaining city-states. Of course, if those city-state lords choose to surrender and submit, you have to stop immediately.'"
"Understood, master......
At this time, night had just fallen, and the afterglow of the sunset made the sky a little red, like blood flowing in the darkness......
