Chapter 800: A Tragic Death
Until the ghost finch ate the last point of light, the ancestral spirit did not make any counterattack except for screaming. The magma below kept tumbling, but it was more like it was in some kind of out of control, and it could no longer roll into pillars to attack.
And the screams of the ancestral spirit also shrank little by little......
In the end, as the last red point of light was swallowed into the stomach of the ghost finch, the voice of the ancestral spirit completely disappeared, and the magma suddenly calmed down. The entire cavern fell silent.
Benjamin stared at the girl motionlessly.
The atmosphere was a little tense, and the teenager couldn't help but hold his breath and sweat in his hands.
"Whew...... Seems to have succeeded?"
Suddenly, the girl opened her eyes and looked a little tired. The ghost finch also flew back from below and came to the trio, and everything seemed to be normal except for the eyes that were red as fire alarms.
Benjamin frowned.
“...... How do you feel? What about the breath of the ancestral spirit?
When the girl heard this, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Ancestral Spirit...... It seems to have been eaten by a finch in its stomach. I don't think the ancestral spirit has been destroyed, but it doesn't seem to be able to resist at all, I don't know why. ”
Benjamin touched his chin and didn't speak at the first moment, but turned his head and asked about the system in his heart.
The system replied: "The power of the ancestral spirit has indeed been swallowed by that ghost pet, and it is still in its stomach at the moment, and there is no sign of leakage." This girl's mind is also very clear, her mental power structure is stable, and she can't see any signs of being invaded. ”
"That's good......"
Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was mentally prepared, if the girl was really taken away, he could only kill the killer and kill the child who had been following him for a long time.
Thankfully, no.
"So...... Can you deal with the ancestral spirit in its belly?" asked Benjamin, turning his attention back to reality, towards the girl.
"I don't know. The girl shook her head and said, "A series of actions of the finch just now are completely beyond my control. I don't get any answers from it. ”
Benjamin scratched his head.
That...... What is this?
He glanced back at the film at the entrance, and it still hadn't disappeared. It may be that the ancestral spirits have not been completely wiped out, and they still can't leave.
However, at this moment, the girl let out an exclamation.
"Wait...... Lord Benjamin, the finch seems to be trying to convey a message to me. ”
Benjamin also came to his senses, frowned, and looked at the red-eyed ghost sparrow with some confusion.
I saw that the ghost finch suddenly stopped above the ice hockey and let out a strange cry. Then, it opened its mouth and spat out the glowing soul heart.
Benjamin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly summoned a blister to catch the heart of the soul.
The "Eh......" system also seemed to suddenly become interested, saying, "This stone is different from before." Something had filtered out the impurities inside, and now only pure spiritual power remained. ”
Hearing this, Benjamin raised an eyebrow.
Filtered out?
He looked at the ghost sparrow again, but unexpectedly, the undead creature paused for a moment, and suddenly flapped its wings again. Then, with a soft pop, a cloud of scarlet gas exited its tail.
“......”
The voice of the ancestral spirit seemed to have a faint feeling of returning, Benjamin was slightly stunned, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart.
At that moment, he didn't care about anything else, he took out a light element crystal from his pocket, crushed it in the palm of his hand, and then threw it towards the red gas without hesitation!
The fragments of the light elemental crystals entered the air mass, like a sodium block thrown into water, and instantly spun violently, and began to dissolve in a strange form, and made a gurgling sound.
Several beams of light flew out of it like a leakage, and the light element ...... It seems to react quite violently with those red gases.
The two siblings still reacted a little, but their eyes widened as they watched the changes inside the air mass.
A moment later, there was a bang, as if something had exploded, and the white light inside the air mass flashed, and the three of them couldn't help but close their eyes. Then, when they opened their eyes again, all the red gas and light elements crystallized together, and completely disappeared into the cavern.
All three showed varying degrees of surprise.
“...... Solved?"
Benjamin asked inwardly with some hesitation.
Looking back, he could clearly see that the red film at the entrance had begun to blur. The inexplicable power gradually disappeared into invisibility, revealing the tunnel again.
Does this mean that the ancestral spirits have been destroyed?
"Hmm...... It seems to really be. The system replied, "I didn't feel that guy's breath anymore anyway." ”
Benjamin nodded, but his expression was still a little hesitant.
At that moment, it should have been the ghost finch that digested it after devouring the ancestral spirit. But the most bizarre thing is that after digestion, it not only spit out the filtered soul heart, but also let go of the consciousness of the ancestral spirit like a fart......
It's a pretty incredible process, and Benjamin feels very peculiar as well. However, he was not sure if the ancestral spirit could be resurrected by the gas drifting away, so he chose to destroy it with light elemental crystals at that moment.
- After the research of the academy, the light element does have a considerable restraining effect on undead creatures, and the ghost is afraid of light, which he has also verified with his own eyes.
Still, he was a little uncertain at the moment.
Really wiped out?
After all, it seems to be a very powerful thing, and it is indeed a bit strange that it is called by such a majestic name as "Ancestral Spirit", but it is finally ended in such a tragic way.
"The breath of the ancestral spirit is gone. The two siblings came back to their senses, sensed it for a while, and showed a relieved expression, "Lord Benjamin...... You've really wiped it out!"
Benjamin touched his chin and looked around the cave again. This place is very different from when he first came in, there is no flying red light, there is no ubiquitous spiritual power, and the strange sense of danger is gradually disappearing...... It's like a normal magma cave.
The ghostfinch's glowing red eyes have also returned to normal.
So, Benjamin finally let go of the stone in his heart.
"Let's go, let's get out of here. ”
With a wave of his hand, the heart of the soul fell into his hand and put it away. At the same time, the soundproof ice hockey pucks also carried them, along the entrance, and began to quickly return along the road. The two siblings also came back to their senses, nodded, jumped out of the tension against the ancestral spirit, and thought about returning to the village outside.
Right now...... The ancestral spirit has been destroyed, and the illusion outside should have been destroyed, right?
Benjamin's expression quickly turned serious.
Roughly calculated, he would be in this cave for almost two hours. What's more troublesome is that the system says that it seems that after the ancestral spirit appeared, those sound waves that can create illusions have gradually begun to fade.
So...... The church and overseas denominations may have already decided the winner.
Thinking of this, Benjamin's speed was a few points faster. They had wasted a lot of time on the ancestral spirit, and if the whole plan was delayed, he would also be.
Soon, the three of them flew out of the forbidden place. The illusion disappeared, and it was still a silent night outside, and Benjamin did not pause, and hurried towards the place where the two sides had confronted before.
Five minutes later, they saw corpses there.
"Priest...... There are so many priests!" the girl exclaimed, covering her mouth.
On the barren stone ground, countless fresh corpses were poured here, most of them priests of overseas sects. A large crater was smashed out of many places, and the scorched black marks after the bombardment of the holy light were clearly visible.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes when he saw this.
...... The church won.
Truth be told, it was something he expected. Without the help of the illusion, and those priests holding the magic weapon of restraining the mind in their hands, the overseas sect had no chance of winning. But the trouble now was that he didn't know how long ago the church had won.
We had to hurry to the village.
Not having time to pay attention to the corpses in this place, Benjamin took his two siblings and hurried towards the village.
