The black ball, taking advantage of the stone demon's attack on it, suddenly retracted its spikes and pounced on Guladan's body, changing the form of shadow energy and sticking to him.

Immediately sensing that something was wrong, Lucina instinctively chose to summon Guladan instead, so that the black ball that had just begun to infiltrate the stone demon's body was forced to separate from it, and failed. Immediately realizing that the black ball was trying to possess others, Lucina hurriedly asked the guards to evacuate the place in case they became hosts.

However, this crow's beaked Aya has always been a prophecy. Although he unleashed a flash blast at the black ball, it was dodged by the agile black ball, and quickly rushed towards the nearest guard.

Bastard...... A flash of annoyance flashed in front of the guard, and Lucina instantly crossed the staff, resisting the impact of the black ball with her ice crystal shield, covering the guard who was so frightened that she almost fell. The shield was rubbed into a crisp and piercing screech as the black ball unleashed spikes, but at the same time, it bounced away in reverse, and instead gathered the spikes and flew towards the guards in the other direction.

This time, the black ball was intercepted in mid-air by Rafipol. The Black Flame Gargoyle hissed and shook its wings, condensing its magic power to its wings, erupting into several black fireballs. Even though the enemy dodged most of them, they were still hit by two hits and knocked back.

Seeing that the attack worked, the gargoyle flew in an arc past the Shadow Ball, luring it into unleashing a spiked attack with a thrilling dodge move, thus buying the soldiers some time to evacuate - but it didn't help.

I saw that the figure of the black ball disappeared under a dark shadow, and instead burst into a cloud of black light on the escape route of a soldier, and soon appeared in it, rushing straight towards the man. Although he tried to escape in a hurry, the speed of the black ball was so fast that it was difficult for him to react at all. In a hurry, the captain of the guard on the side pushed his subordinates away, but he was hit by the black ball.

"Jay, Captain Jenas!" the guilt-filled guard hurried back to help, but was stopped by York, who arrived with his shield, shaking his head to indicate that it was too dangerous.

"Uh...... Uhh He trembled in pain and staggered backwards.

The body shrouded in plate armor was quickly enveloped by the rising shadow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the violent shaking of the body gradually began to subside.

At this point, no matter what everyone shouted at him, Jenas didn't respond. The eyes exposed under the helmet were even shrouded in black shadow energy, and his demeanor was completely indistinguishable.

Seeing all this happening, Snowcrow Vicol hurriedly stopped the steps he had already stepped on, feeling that something was wrong. He immediately ordered the soldiers present to block the exit from the basement until the curator of Leo was called in - given that the captain of the local garrison in Beihaiwang had already had an accident, it was natural that Vicor was now the highest command.

Everyone immediately complied, and one of the Frost Knight present (like the Ice Dragon Knight of Neverwinter, an elite class of Ice Rock City) immediately pulled out the giant axe behind his back and volunteered to go down to help. Recognising the other party's status as an elite at a glance, Vicor was of course glad that he was in the fight: in this situation, the more people who help, the better.

Although the soldiers in the basement with torches had evacuated, the entire basement was lit up by these small blue blobs of light attached to the walls and ceiling, thanks to the attachment illumination released by Lucina, who was annoyed by the situation.

Cautiously holding his shield and sword in a defensive stance, York kept his body opposite the possessed captain, ready to attract and engage the first attack. And Guladan was also re-summoned by Lucina at this time. But now, with the noise caused by the basement being closed and the exit blocked, it was difficult for everyone to prepare for battle to judge what to do when they saw that Jenas suddenly began to stand still.

Except for Guladan, the stone demon who rushed directly to him without understanding the situation and was stopped by his master, everyone was a little hesitant - of course, including Rafipol, who was not human.

"Hey, Jaas (he mispronounced the name, it should be Janus) is possessed by that thing, won't we be able to use all our strength?" the Frost Knight cried out in a thick Eurasian accent with a great axe in both hands, "Who—Aya!

"If I knew everything, would I still be in this situation?!" Lucina immediately shouted back dissatisfiedly when she heard him say this, but unfortunately she had no momentum at all: "Shut up, you!"

What everyone is worried about at the moment is basically the same problem.

You may have to fight Jenas now, but ...... If you kill them because of this, that's not the end anyone wants to see.

However, without harming his life, how can he expel the possessed Shadow Orb?

When the host dies, almost all possessed objects are forcibly stripped of them. Sometimes suspended animation caused by spells, drugs, etc., also has this effect. Of course, the possession will certainly try to prevent the host from dying as much as possible. This also includes the effect of feigned death when used by external forces.

If only I hadn't dismantled that thing in the first place!, Lucina couldn't help but feel remorse. But she also understood that she was driven by the fact that it was a natural choice to open it and see what was inside.

Seeing the possessed Janas, Lucina suddenly realized, and seemed to understand why the mage was summoning the Hugger - didn't she want to use the shadow orb she had created earlier to possess it, and at the same time stabilize the effect of the contract between the two?

Perhaps, this shadow had no host before, and had been restless, and even wanted to possess its own master in turn, but fortunately it was controlled by the mage...... Just use that dark red cube.

and the enchantment in the basement.

It was all torn down by Lucina, who didn't know the truth—though sooner or later it would have to be done.

Maybe the mage didn't deliberately summon the hugger, but just wanted to summon a humanoid monster that wasn't too strong, enough to be a host.

He must have been in such a hurry at the time to have such a huge summoning accident.

Confusingly, Jenas hasn't moved since he was possessed. He stood there quietly, like a statue.

Despite not being able to see the guy's research clearly due to the shadow energy, York could still feel the feeling of being stared at by the guy.

At this point, Guladan seemed to be in a hurry again, but Lucina shook her head to stop the attack, she was having trouble breathing at the strange situation.
