This change is definitely something that no one expected.

The ghost not only controls the bird's corpse, but also has some kind of spell-casting ability. And when it was freed, its goal was very obvious - the mage who had imprisoned it for so long.

At that moment, Benjamin summoned a wall of ice in front of him. The ugly bird crashed into the ice wall, accompanied by the violent fluctuations of the dark element, and for a while it was not bounced off, and passed through the ice wall little by little.

But that's about it.

The ice wall bought time, and Benjamin continued to cast the spell, and one after another streams of water were summoned by him, converging towards the ugly bird, forming a compressed blister of extremely high strength in the blink of an eye.

The ugly bird was trapped in it, and just wanted to spray the dark elemental missile, but was cut off from the outside elements by the forbidden magic blister. It struggled left and right in the blisters, and in the end, it couldn't break free.

"Whew...... What the hell is this?"

The surrounding mages also recovered from their stunned shock, and they breathed a sigh of relief to see that the situation had been brought under control.

Benjamin nodded as well.

It's not easy to have the strength he has now, if he can't even deal with a mutated ghost, then what can he talk about dealing with the church?

He took a closer look at the ugly bird in the blister.

"What the hell is going on?" he asked in his mind, "and you quickly probe the condition inside this bird." Did the ghost merge with it? Why did this happen?"

"You and I are omnipotent," the system complained......, but after a few moments, the result was given, "From the data I've observed, the bird is dead, and the ghost seems to be a parasite anti-guest." The bird's body has accumulated a lot of dark elements, and it has undergone the process of demonization, and it should now be a half-undead and half-demonic existence. ”

"And does it think now? How high is its level of intelligence?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

Benjamin shook his head helplessly, and his attention returned to reality.

The situation was a bit tricky, and he originally just wanted to release the ghost and become a good living specimen for the undead to study. As a result, I didn't expect that after staying in the body of this bird for so long, the ghost was reluctant to come out.

And this newly born ghost thing is not small and difficult to control, and Benjamin is not ready to keep it in captivity.

However, at this moment, the old man on the side had already shown an excited look, looked at the ugly bird that was constantly struggling in the blister, and said, "Can you take a little blood from it?"

Benjamin frowned when he heard this.

“...... I'll give it a try. ”

In order to deal with this struggling guy, Benjamin manipulated and pinched out a blood-drawing needle with ice. He put the needle into the blister, forcibly pricked it into the ugly bird's body, and pumped it hard, but nothing came out.

Immediately after, the needle was broken in the ugly bird's body.

"This thing...... It's out of blood. Benjamin was stunned, came back to his senses, and said, "Before it died, the ghost drained all its flesh. ”

Suddenly, the old man frowned in disappointment.

"Can you subdue it completely? just knock it out and don't let it move. ”

"It doesn't seem to work......

Benjamin tried turning the blisters into balloons, and then formed a whirlpool that spun the ugly bird around hundreds of times like a drum washing machine. But even so, it struggled inside, as if no physical injury could affect it.

And in this way, it will be difficult for these researchers with average combat ability to attack this ugly bird.

Troublesome......

Looking at this bird that does not eat oil and salt, Benjamin even felt the urge to dismantle it to see if it could move on its own.

"It's better not to. The system advised, "With its physical condition, it may even die if it is dismantled in eight pieces." ”

"Is there any way to force it out?"

"I don't know, think for yourself. ”

“......”

Benjamin scratched the back of his head, and suddenly, a thought crossed his mind.

Why didn't the ghosts start wreaking havoc until now?

Because of the continuation of magic, the bird has never really died, and the ghost has always been suppressed by the bird's consciousness. And now that the bird is dead, it has really taken over the ascension.

So...... Maybe the so-called life force is what ghosts fear the most?

Thinking so, Benjamin stretched out his hand and sketched an elemental command in front of him. And this time, when the raindrops with powerful healing powers fell on the ugly bird, it suddenly struggled in pain, and let out a terrible roar from its mouth.

Suddenly, Benjamin's eyes lit up.

Magic can't bring the dead back to life, but those raindrops with a strong breath of life evoke many very bad memories of the ghost—trapped in this body, constantly suppressed by the bird's own life force......

Seeing this, the other mages on the side couldn't help but show a new look. Some people even cast spells, using healing magic similar to water of life to hit the ugly birds.

And the stronger the healing effect of these spells, the more painful the ugly bird looks.

Suddenly, Benjamin shouted, "Morris, do you have any other glass covers that can isolate your spiritual power?"

Morris was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, took out the spare glass cover, pushed the wheelchair forward, and quickly replaced the old one.

The ugly bird was thrown back into the glass enclosure along with the numerous healing spells.

Eventually, with a shudder of its body, the ugly bird stopped struggling and collapsed in the hood. Then, a translucent spirit slowly rose from the corpse-like body.

It floated powerlessly in the glass cover, but it could never float out of this barrier that could block spiritual power.

Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief, but the mages around him widened their eyes in unison.

"That's what it is...... Phantom. ”

Unexpectedly, after such a series of accidents, they finally returned to their original purpose. Instead of merging with the bird corpse, the ghost sparked some other instincts in the complex environment, temporarily taking control of the body.

And now, it's been beaten back to its prototype by a barrage of healing magic.

"Give me the carcass of that bird, it might be of great interest to our current research. The old man came back to his senses and said suddenly.

Benjamin nodded.

In order to facilitate research and feeding, there is a small outlet on the glass cover. The ghost is now beaten back to its original type, and the only way to perceive things is to hallucinate other creatures - it has no eyes or ears, and it can't see the small openings open or closed.

So Benjamin opened the shut, dragged the bird out with water vapor, and closed the shut. In the process, the ghosts just bump around like headless flies, and nothing can be found.

"Let's take it and study it slowly. ”

He threw the carcass of the bird to the old man, who, without hesitation, used his hand to help it, turned around, and hurried back to his laboratory to study it.

The rest of the people turned their gaze back to the ghost that was floating around in the glass cover.
