Chapter 47: Illusion and Backstabbing

Bruno kept looking Ethan up and down, as if he wanted to see what was so special about Ethan, but no matter how he looked at it, he was just an ordinary young man, no different from many young adventurers.

To say something different...... It seems that this young man doesn't have any magic stone equipment on him, which is really incredible, he can still do so many things without magic stone equipment, how can he do it?

"Is it because of the long stick?"

He suspected that the long stick in Ethan's hand was a very special magic stone equipment, and even Lord Beckford's Castle of Death could not suppress the power in it, which was why this young man was able to do so many amazing things.

"If ......"

Just as Bruno was about to say something, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, strangled his neck with a fierce blow, and a blade of energy that exuded a holy aura jumped out from Bruno's body.

"You ......"

Bruno, whose kidneys were critically hit, felt that all the strength in his body was passing, and he didn't even have the strength to speak, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't make any sound, and he fell to the ground so softly.

When Bruno collapsed to the ground, it became clear to everyone that it was Ethan who had given Bruno the fatal blow.

Logan turned his head to look at where Ethan had been standing before, and saw that there was also an Ethan standing there, just slowly dissipating - it was obvious that this was the apparition that Ethan had left behind.

"It's no wonder Loki loves this trick so much, sometimes it really works. ”

The moment Bruno appeared, Ethan silently cast an illusion, and after leaving an image of himself in place, he quietly came behind Bruno, and then gave him a neat backstab when the guy was about to say something.

It's been a long time since Logan came to his ship, and Ethan has learned a lot of practical tips from Logan, an experienced warrior, including which position to attack from behind to kill with one hit, especially attacking the kidneys, which he has worked on perfectly.

As for what Bruno wanted to say, he didn't bother to listen to it at all, the situation was very clear, this guy was obviously a spy arranged by Beckford here, and when all Beckford's arrangements failed, this 'loyal' subordinate finally stood up and confronted Ethan and the others.

Ethan didn't know if he came out to fight him and others to the death or something else, but since he was sure that he was an enemy, he would simply strike first.

"It's a pity for my battle cross. ”

The battle cross in his hand was snorting black smoke, and after Ethan backstabbed Bruno just now, he found that the negative energy in this guy's body was amazingly large, and the energy blades of the battle cross were corroded, and even affected the body of the battle cross.

He tried to use the holy light to expel or purify, but the blessing on the beach consumed too much holy light, and the remaining holy light energy could not clear the negative energy that had invaded inside.

It's not that there is no other way to 'save' this weapon, but it will waste a lot of time and energy, not to mention that this battle cross has gradually failed to keep up with his needs, so he simply let this weapon be eroded and destroyed - there is nothing like a fallen battle cross, the huge negative energy directly destroys the internal structure of the weapon, and now he is still intact on the surface, but in fact it is an iron lump, without any special features.

"This guy is a bit quirky. ”

Ethan threw the destroyed weapon aside and looked down at Bruno's corpse, which still exuded terrifying energy, which was hidden more than before, and even the most insensitive to energy could feel the terrifying energy intensity.

"You're all dead and still playing tricks?"

Ethan observed for a moment to know what was going on, although the guy's body was dead, but the huge death energy in his body protected his soul, and began to transform Bruno in the direction of the undead, Ethan saw it and immediately pulled out the soul of this guy.

In the past, when he had no way to extract anyone's soul casually, and when he divided and extracted Professor Charles's spiritual body, it was only after Professor Charles's full cooperation and a series of preparations that he did so.

Nowadays, he can't actually extract his soul from the human body casually, but it is not difficult for him to solve the situation that Bruno has died and the soul is only forcibly left in the body by special energy.

As Ethan's raised hands brought up a miserable white chain of light, Bruno's soul, which was being transformed by the huge death energy, left his body directly, and was finally lifted by Ethan in his hands.

It looked like Ethan was grabbing Bruno by the neck and lifting him up. It's just that this Bruno is a translucent soul body, and it doesn't actually weigh a bit.

The soul is fragile, Ethan has known this for a long time.

And after losing the restraint of the body, there seems to be less concealment in the soul state, and many 'people' will not be able to hide their thoughts at this time, revealing a lot of secrets.

At the beginning, Wilson couldn't control his mouth in the soul state, and broke Beckford's name, letting Ethan know that there was a more powerful mastermind behind it.

Now that I've caught another one, I'm sorry for myself if I don't interrogate it well, not to mention that Ethan still has the Holy Light Cross in his hand, which has a huge restraint effect on this evil soul.

In addition, Serena can also use this evil soul to practice mind whipping, and this spell can be directly applied to the soul body.

It didn't take much effort at all, and this Bruno explained everything clearly.

First of all, Beckford wasn't here at all. After arranging the northern route, the mastermind behind the scenes had already gone to another route to make the same preparations.

Secondly, the demon heart is actually in Bruno's body, which is why there is such a huge amount of negative energy on Bruno's corpse.

The role of this island, as Ethan had speculated before, is to stop the adventurers in this sea area, and then turn everyone in this sea area and the calm sea area into undead creatures little by little.

As for what the ultimate goal is, Bruno doesn't know, he is an adventurer in this sea area, and he met Beckford who returned to this sea area during a voyage, and after being easily defeated, he decisively chose to take refuge.

Beckford had already determined his plan at that time, but he was worried that something would happen, so instead of turning Bruno into an undead, he asked him to return to the central island to inquire about various information, and if anything happened, Beckford's side could be prepared.

That's why he agreed to join Brent's team so easily, just to get closer to hear specific information.

"Why surrender?"

Everything that should be known is known, and after the overall situation has been decided, Brent and others also came here to hear all the 'confessions', at this time he has understood everything, and he wants to know why Bruno chose to surrender?

"Why?"

Bruno, who is in a state of soul, can't control his thoughts very well, he almost says whatever he wants, and he was tortured by Ethan for a while before, and now he is in a state of madness.

"Am I willing to die like this? What about being undead? at least I can always be 'alive'. ”

"That's still alive?"

"Why not?" Bruno's expression became more and more hideous, and now he looked no different from the evil spirit: "I can think normally, I can move freely, and I will become more powerful!"

Bruno, who fell into a frenzy, seemed to forget that he was being controlled by Ethan, and suddenly went crazy and wanted to pounce on Brent, but no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't get out of Ethan's palm.

Seeing that this guy was completely insane, and he already knew everything he wanted to know, Ethan's hand flashed with a much stronger golden light than before, and the holy light poured directly into Bruno's soul, completely purifying this evil spirit that had fallen into madness and was contaminated with a lot of negative energy.

The soul was destroyed, and Ethan destroyed the corpse as well. He already knew from Bruno's previous confession that the island's demon heart had been fused with his body, and there was no way to take it out alone.

Bruno is actually in charge of guarding the Demon Heart, and if things don't go well, he will have to merge with the Demon Heart and gain great power to solve the trouble. Only then Bruno will never be able to leave the island.

Just as he began to fuse, he was stabbed to death by Ethan in the back, and the powerful power was completely left before he could completely belong to him.

"We can get out of here now if we just destroy his body, right?"

"Yes. ”

This island is the energy provided by this demonic heart, which then forms and sustains its existence. As soon as the Demon Heart is destroyed, the island will immediately collapse.

"We have to move fast, or we're going to sink to the bottom of the sea with this island. ”

Ethan released the last part of the Holy Light Cross into a golden flame filled with holy energy, and burned Bruno's body.

As the flames continued to burn, the Demon Heart, which had become one with the body, began to be damaged, and the island began to show signs of collapse.

The dark clouds that hung over the entire sea gradually dispersed, and the negative energy on the islands began to fade.

As they made their way towards the sea, and when they could no longer see where the castle was, the ground began to shake, and as time passed, the shaking became more frequent and more violent.

"The island is going to collapse. ”
