After a while, the group finally decided to go to the location of the previous explosion to investigate the situation.

They believe that under this explosion, it seems that the illusory shaman should also be blown to pieces by the explosion, and it is unlikely that it will survive.

However, the safety of the Apocalypse Knight had to worry about them, although the explosion seemed to have been arranged by the Apocalypse Knight a long time ago.

"This forest is not going to live. ”

As he walked on the road to the clearing, the merchant Kleist looked around and sighed.

He woke up not long after he was unconscious, and he didn't seem to be hurt much, except that he was hit on the head by a tree, causing a bulging bag on his forehead.

Alan thinks it's better to make his hits idiot, so that he won't be cheated again when he gets into trouble in the future.

But this is just his careful thinking, he can't say it casually, seeing that the merchant woke up, he also shushed and asked for warmth.

At this time, hearing the merchant's exclamation, Alan also nodded, looking at the surrounding scenery, and complex emotions appeared from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, the woods had become much more sparse, and the charred black trees that had been scorched by the flames were now completely visible, only potholes and ruins, and there were few trees that could barely be called intact, scattered in front and back, left and right, staggered and disheveled.

The dirt path under your feet is also covered with a layer of fresh dirt, stones, and leaves, and it looks quite dry when you walk on it.

This also caused them to see the situation clearly at this time before they even reached the clearing.

A pothole comes into view!

Because the distance was not very close, the pit was only barely exposed, and they didn't know how deep it was.

It's just that as they quicken their pace and rush to the same place, the details of the pit become clearer.

In the moonlight, the crater caused by the explosion was deep enough, and when you looked down, it was pitch black and dark, and you couldn't see the bottom at a glance.

Stepping on the edge, dirt and rocks kept falling, and then it took half a day to make a sound.

"It also seems a little too much. ”

The mercenary Dario looked very depressed at this time, because he had not come to the open space before, so he did not know what the knight looked like when he was bound, and when he saw this deep pit, he thought that this was a means belonging to the Knight of the Apocalypse, which was a bit of a blow.

If that's the case, they seem to be able to be crushed to death by others at will, so what are the combat skills they were proud of before?

However, his depressed mood only appeared for a moment, and was interrupted by Hanaris's shouting: "Look, see what I have found!"

"Quack!"

Dario frowned as Hanaris's figure bouncing around the distance came into view, and then, what he was holding in his hand caught Hanaris' full attention.

Although it was dark at night, the beautiful helmet made of pure gold still shone in the moonlight, the regular shape, the gorgeous embellishments... Sound familiar?

"Isn't this the Duke's helmet?"

"How are you here?"

"Lord Duke?"

The continuous speculation made everyone's emotions inexplicable, but then they were attracted by the businessman's explanation.

"What? The Duke had already taken off his helmet before?"

"Still tied up?"

"The soul shaman seems to be very powerful..."

The merchant's explanation was accompanied by a startled look at Hanaris, and Brother Andrew and Dario listened intently to what they hadn't seen before.

Alan didn't get involved, because just as he was here, an inexplicable vibration appeared from the six-pointed star.

The tremor lasted a little longer, and Alan looked down and saw that it was not the vibration of the six-pointed star that had been charged, it was just vibrating there, and I don't know why.

The confusion didn't last long, and a smoky figure floated out of the pit and gave him the answer!

Then, under Allen's stunned expression, the figure continued to shrink, and finally merged into the six-pointed star!

"It's .... Auxiliary souls?"

Raising his wrist, in the dim moonlight, Alan stared at the beast shadow floating on the six-pointed star horn in front of him in amazement, his heart was full of confusion and puzzlement.

This shadow is very different from the previous Naga shadow, although they are both made of mist, one is green and the other is white.

The narrow fangs, the curved waist, and the odd shape made it clear to Alan what this thing was.

Shaman!

Soul Shaman!

Vaguely, Eren also recognized who this auxiliary soul belonged to before his death, the shaman who held up the forbidden sky stone!

"Why did he become an auxiliary soul? Could it be that orcs are also classified as demonic beasts, or is auxiliary souls not limited to humans and beasts?"

"Besides, isn't it only the monsters I killed myself that will be absorbed into auxiliary souls?"

Along the way, Eren basically didn't make a move, so their continuous encounters with demonic beasts didn't bring him any benefit, and compared to the situation he faced during the previous period of the stars, it was natural that he couldn't rely on others to obtain auxiliary souls.

And yet now the six-pointed star seems to break that rule?

Why is this happening? Or is there something going on that he doesn't know?

Thinking about it, Alan only thought that the fire spirit he had activated before was relatively close to the soul shaman, and the sea of fire it created.

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

Rather than his own Flame Elf taking out an unfathomable soul shaman, Eren preferred the mutation of the six-pointed star, but after studying it for a while, he found little or nothing.

Then he noticed that the auxiliary soul on his wrist did not seem to be in a fragmented state......

The auxiliary soul in the fragmented state cannot be formed, although it is also the same as before it is absorbed, but after being absorbed, it will become an ethereal and dim light and shadow appearance, and only after the six fragments are synthesized, it will become a relatively condensed and flexible appearance.

However, at this time, this auxiliary soul seems to be very solid, and under Allen's careful communication, he can even follow his command to move his steps, which means that he can attach this auxiliary soul to other people!

However, unlike normal auxiliary souls, this auxiliary soul is not very smart, and its dull expression seems to be missing something, and it looks extremely dull.

Alan didn't pay attention to this, the appearance of this auxiliary soul was already an unexpected joy, and he wouldn't pay attention to anything wrong or lacking anything at all.

"In short, we will only be able to confirm our suspicions when we reach Samuel, whether the Duke of Gross is alive or dead!"

The sound of discussion not far away seemed to be coming to an end, and then there was silence.

Allen, who studies auxiliary souls, was a little strange about this quietness, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but be startled.

"What are you all looking at me for?"

The merchant shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't seem to see much here, I think it's time for us to hit the road." ”

"Or are you not going to Samuel?"
