Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Void Spirit
"Woo", a mournful wail, resounded in everyone's soul, and the wail was like a nightmare in the middle of the night, enough to arouse fear in the depths of people's hearts.
"In the name of the Holy Spirit, awaken the divine power and guard the hearts of believers. ”
The moment he heard the wail, the general magic spiritual barrier that Xiu'er had been preparing for a long time was activated as soon as possible.
On the surface, the Psychic Barrier has no effect, but in fact, its function is to protect the soul of the recipient and prevent the recipient from suffering a blow at the soul level. The protection of the soul is formless and insubstantial, and the recipient cannot even perceive it, but the protective layer attached to the surface of the soul can block all attacks on the soul.
After the spiritual barrier was released, the wailing was instantly cut off, as if what they had just heard was just an illusion, but everyone knew what had happened to them, and the energy just now was definitely not an illusion, it was a precursor to the soul being received.
Directly hurting the soul, the murderer is most likely to be a ghost, a ghost is a very headache of the undead, even a necromancer, he has no good feelings for ghosts.
The soul returns to the River Styx or goes to the kingdom of God, instinctively sleeping on the remains, which is the fate of all living beings, whether high or low, regardless of the length of life, as long as they have the concept of death, they cannot escape this fate.
If the sleeping instinct is awakened for some reason, it becomes skeletons or zombies, which are the favorite of necromancers, who will manipulate them with dark energy to fight for themselves, just as Militdy once did.
If the souls that should have returned to the Styx refuse to return to the Styx because they are bound or attached to the world, then these spiritual bodies that have lost their physical bearing and cause the memories to dissipate quickly, leaving only obsession to remain, will become ghosts, and they will persistently wander in the place where they were attached or bound in life, forever guarding the regrets of life.
Ghosts are difficult to deal with, they ignore physical attacks, and are insensitive to elemental damage, only the Divine or Dark Energy Strikes can deal effective damage.
However, there are no ghosts in this world, and this conclusion has long been agreed upon by the shadow chasers.
Not only is it because the projection world cannot replicate the High Souls, so it is impossible for a pure High Soul product like a ghost to exist, after all, due to the influence of the gods, even the remnants of the gods have appeared, and there is nothing surprising that there are ghosts to appear.
The main reason is that there are no ghosts left in places that have been ravaged by the Great Rift.
The Void Spirits that erupt from the Great Rift are specifically for the soul, they are attracted to the soul, and their only interest is to neutralize the soul with their own existence, so the existence of a pure soul like a ghost is the first target of the Void Spirit, and where the Void Evil Spirit passes, there will never be any more ghosts left.
Therefore, there is only one possibility that can put the souls of the shadow chasers at risk.
Void Spirits.
A large rift erupted, gradually approaching the flashpoint, and there were no more souls around that could neutralize the evil spirits.
The three harbingers of the Void Evil Spirit wreaking havoc have been completely satisfied, and there is no need to question it, the only one who threatens it can only be the Void Evil Spirit.
"Enemy attack, ready to withstand the impact. Shul raised his mace and shouted a warning to open the curtain on the encounter.
After deliberation in the underground chamber, it was decided not to make a formal decision yet, and everything would be discussed after meeting the goddess of water.
Kelly is indeed a fanatic, and she can do anything for the sake of her faith, but a fanatic only means that they stick to their faith and put the interests of the gods first at all times, which does not mean that they are all fools.
They know better than anyone what to do and how to better protect the interests of the gods, and they know better than anyone how to balance the balance between maintaining the correctness of the gods and safeguarding her practical interests.
As ordinary people imagine, no one is allowed to show that the gods they believe in are wrong, and the act of shouting and shouting and killing once they hear it will not appear at all, then they are crazy, not fanatical believers at all, although the boundary between fanaticism and madness is not obvious, but after all, there is still a difference.
In fact, as long as the other party is really from the perspective of the gods and considers the interests of the gods they believe in, the fanatical believers do not mind that the other party points out that the judgment of the gods is wrong, and the nominal right and wrong are not worth mentioning compared to the actual benefits.
Therefore, after Shure explained everything, Kelly had accepted his idea, and was less resistant to canceling the mission, let alone making the decision that even if you were all gone, I would stay and bring the mission goal back, even if I died in the process.
This is the biggest reason why Shul explained so much that night, only by convincing Kelly can everything go according to plan, after all, if you want to see the goddess of water, you can only rely on her to lead the way.
In the long desert, it is more difficult to find a target than to find a grain of sand on the beach, even if the target is a giant more than 30 meters tall. Therefore, as the only priest in the team who can sense the power of water, her importance is self-evident, and it can even be said that whether she can leave alive this time depends on her more than a half.
Kelly certainly lived up to expectations.
From the second day, she led the team straight to the goal, and the team's path did not even have a curve at all, and kept moving in a straight line.
For five days in a row, there will still be occasional harassment by the undead on the road, but for the Shadow Chase team, with full firepower, the frontal encounter is not too serious a problem, and the only thing to worry about is being attacked suddenly.
However, even raids are not a big deal now.
Along the way, it became obvious to everyone that the number of encounters with the undead suddenly decreased.
Before arriving at the detachment point and being disappointed, it was not uncommon to encounter more than a dozen groups of undead in one night, and even large groups of troops numbering thousands were not uncommon, and it could be said that it was difficult to walk down in one night.
But since that night, the total number of undead encounters in the past five days has not even exceeded ten, and the number is very small, and the extremely bored forest spirit has also deliberately counted, and the total number of undead encountered in five days adds up to a total of one hundred and twenty-four.
The reason for this is deliberately avoided.
There are two reasons, one is that they are getting closer and closer to the goddess of water, and the undead are instinctively afraid of the power of the gods, and they dare not get too close to the gods, so the number is getting smaller and smaller. Another reason is that some crippled beings who claim to be dying have helped the Shadow Chasers and driven the undead away.
Either way, it's not good news for the Shadow Chasers, but it's not enough for the Shadow Chasers to change their plans, and the only effect is to cause everyone to be suspicious, so there is no way to deliberately avoid this aspect of the problem, at least for now, the Shadow Chasers are still facilitated, so it's good to accept it with skepticism, and if it can really continue like this, it won't be a bad thing until everyone arrives at their destination.
The problem is that there is no such lucky thing in the world, especially in the adventure of the otherworldly projection, it is not so easy to do something smoothly, the smoother it is on the surface, the more likely it is that when people are most relaxed, they will regret it for the rest of their lives, well, provided that there is still a chance to regret it.
This time was no exception, but fortunately, Xiuer and the Shadow Chasers never knew how to relax on the way, as long as the team was in the otherworldly projection and kept moving, no matter how safe the environment was, everyone would not let their guard down. After all, if you want to relax, there is a chance to go back alive, if you can't wait, you can relax in a safe area when it's time to rest, and there is no need to look for death by yourself.
This is the rule that Shul has set for his teammates after becoming the leader of the team two years ago, regardless of their relationship, even himself.
This team always manages to defend themselves in encounters, because their companions never leave the enemy a chance.
It's the same this time.
"Mia, the Four Illumination Method. ”
"Whew", four sticky balls of light flew out of the elven mage's hand, sticking steadily to the ground, twenty meters apart from each other, enclosing a square space around the Shadow Chasing Team.
Now I can finally see clearly, and a large number of blurry black shadows suddenly appeared in the light.
With the physical fitness of the shadow chasers, low-light vision can be exerted to the extreme, even if there is no moon in this world, but close to the faint starlight, everyone can see everything in the desert.
However, these black shadows are not included.
They are blurry and black, blending in with the darkness around them, and it is so difficult to spot them, only by illuminating the environment and letting the shadows around them fade into their true faces.
It's a strange look.
There is no substance, no gesture, no expression, these things that cannot be called living things are just shadows that change shape all the time.
They're not black, they're not colored, and what doesn't exist in the first place can be colored. However, they are visually black, perhaps because their color is beyond the cognitive ability of the world of Pavatiga, and the person who sees them cannot understand their own color, so they are automatically adjusted to black in perception.
Even if it is a soul that also has no substance, at least it still has a sense of existence, and when you see a ghost, you can at least feel that the ghost actually exists in this world, not only a ghost, even if it is a point without volume in the mouth of scholars, at least it still exists, but these black shadows in front of you are different, they don't even have a sense of existence at all, even if you look at him with your eyes, it is difficult to believe that it exists in the world.
It looks like a lump, but it has no volume, it looks black, but it has no color, it is obvious that it is seen with your own eyes, but it does not exist, such a distorted and strange existence, no wonder they are called negative souls.
Yes, these are the Void Spirits of the Pavatiga World, countless Void Spirits.
