Chapter 16: Devouring

"Help me, help me!!"

A thief crawled on the ground, his legs had been cut off, struggling to lie forward, the dark shadows around him shrouded his body, but for this bandit, only the man in front of him was his savior, he stretched out his hand, raised his head and prayed to look at Kelly in front of him, but Kelly just closed his eyes ruthlessly, no longer looking at his former subordinates.

The sharp blade pierced the bandit's chest, forcing him to let out a final scream, and then his body began to quickly dry and weaken, turning into a skinny corpse, from which soul flames burst out, continuing the blade upwards and then vanishing. The Spirit Warrior pulled out the long sword in his hand, and the long sword that was originally full of rust was now shiny and shiny, so sharp that it could even cut gold and jade. And if you look closely, you can even find that even the armor worn by these spirit warriors has undergone subtle changes. The worn-out and broken parts have been repaired for some time, and the entire black iron armor exudes a dull brilliance, and the decorative patterns on it are also slightly distorted, showing a vague human face shape.

"That's all?"

Yuren's voice caused Kelly to reopen his eyes, and he stared at the young man in front of him, then gritted his teeth and slowly lowered his head.

"Yes, sir. ”

There was a mixture of fear and shame in his voice. After all, he is also a bandit, and now, under the threat of outsiders, he has to give up his companion who lives and dies with him, which makes Kelly feel a little ashamed......... But it's only fleeting, you can find it again if your subordinates are gone, and it's better to be all dead, as long as you are all dead, no one else will know that you have betrayed this thing, as long as he can still live, he will have enough time and energy to reorganize his own organization. At that time, it was a big deal to make up a lie, yes, that the bandits were wiped out by a powerful enemy, and they finally escaped...... That's right, it's the best, it's the best!

It's going well.

You Lian retracted his gaze and carefully observed the Soul Warrior beside him, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This time, the reason why he brought these geyrs out was that his biggest goal was to restore their strength and stabilize their strength and form.

Although the spirits themselves have not weak magical reserves, they are only souls after all, and in the absence of ** that can be used to preserve and condense their magic power, their magic power can only be maintained at the lowest limit that the soul form can condense. For example, a soul can only hold fifty mana's mana, although it can obtain more mana through various means, but due to the lack of agglutination conditions, the mana it absorbs will eventually gradually dissipate, leaving only a maximum of fifty mana - the boundary energy that the soul itself can bear. This process cannot be reversed and cannot be banned. However, when it has **, if this geist absorbs another hundred mana's mana, then this hundred mana's mana will be stored in its **, and it will never disappear until the next consumption.

What Yuren has to do now is to give these geists powerful power in the shortest possible time, and let them condense these powerful powers little by little and store them in their current form. As long as they have enough mana support, these geists can rely on their current armor entity, gradually accumulate, and then evolve into new forms. In this way, the geists will be able to exist for a longer period of time, and the power they can use will become more powerful.

There are several ways to enhance the power of the geists, after all, now that the geists have an "armor body" that can bind and condense magic because of Yulian's power, the next thing to do is to let them absorb the magic power. And the most convenient and quick way is to let them devour the souls of other beings.

Soul devouring can be said to be the innate instinct of every spirit creature, human beings maintain their own life by eating the corpses of other life, and spirit creatures maintain their existence through the souls of other life. Of course, these souls are also strong and weak, so You Lian will take these wandering souls through the Dusk Mountains to the Golden Trade Road, just for the current large area of "soul food".

The reason why the bandits of the Golden Trade Road were chosen as food for the wandering spirits was not because You Lian was kind-hearted and planned to act chivalrous. It is because in the camp of goodness, the weak occupy most of the base, and the strength of the soul is also inseparable from its own strength. To do good deeds does not require you to have any great strength and strength, as long as you have a kind heart. But doing evil is different. If you want to be evil, then you must at least have enough power over others to do so. It is precisely because of this that the power of the souls of the evil ones is generally full of power. And the scene in front of him also proves Yu Lian's conjecture.

With Kelly's help, more than thirty bandits have died at the hands of these spirit warriors, and after absorbing the souls of these evil people, the spirit warriors have evolved to the top level of mid-level warriors -- if it is Twilight Town, I am afraid that he will kill all the people inside, and it is impossible for these spirit spirits to evolve so quickly.

But O'Faryl apparently has a different view.

"My lord, won't it be nice for you to do this.........

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Yuren turned his head and looked at Ofariel with a slight surprise.

"Any questions?"

"Didn't you just say that they should lay down their arms and surrender, but wouldn't it be a little ......... to kill them so quickly now?"

Offariel's expression was a little puzzled, no wonder she was, after all, the girl had never participated in any battles, and she had very little experience in facing death, just now when these bandits were killed, their eyes full of resentment and deception made Ofariel feel a little uncomfortable, she seemed to be able to understand the other party's thoughts, since you want to kill us all, then why deceive us?

"I did mean to tell them to lay down their arms and surrender. ”

Yuren's expression was rather innocent.

"But I never said I'd spare them if they surrendered?"

“........................”

"You heard me, I just told Kelly to lay down his arms and surrender immediately, did I say that surrender will not die?"

“............ But if you think about it from common sense..............."

That is nothing more than a consideration of common sense, a subjective judgment of the individual. ”

Julien interrupted Ofariel's argument with a smile.

"There is no conclusion until anything is said with certainty, and on the battlefield, the only result of a mistake in judgment is death. They misjudged, and that's it. ”

“............ So what are you doing this for........."

"Isn't it easier and time-saving to kill an unarmed surrenderer than a resistant?"

"Hahh..............."

Hearing this, O'Faryl reached out to her forehead and let out a long breath.

"I've finally understood your way of thinking, lordship......"

It's good to understand.

Seeing the helpless expression on Offariel's face, Yulian didn't say anything more, instead, he turned around and waved at Kelly, who was standing next to him.

"Come here. ”

"Here I am, my lord!"

Seeing Julien's call, Kelly hurried to his side and smiled. Along the way, he was also observing these two people at the same time, and the eldest lady was no different from what Kelly judged, and she was really a noble eldest lady who didn't know where to run out, so Kelly didn't particularly care about her. But this young man was different, although on the surface, he was thin and weak, not like a guy who could wield knives and guns, but Kelly could tell from Yuren's expression that this was definitely not an ordinary character. Especially when his subordinates were killed, Kelly paid special attention to Yulian's expression, whether he resisted, begged for mercy or scolded angrily, Yulian's expression was always so plain and gentle, as if whether the other party was dead or alive had nothing to do with him at all. You know, even Kelly himself will never be so calm when he kills, at least he will be excited, and he will be excited because he has the power of life and death in other people's hands. However, on Yulian's face, this kind of emotional fluctuation is not visible.

Could it be that he is a big man, and what kind of secret operation did he come out this time?

The more Kelly thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, how could Yulian's outfit look like a nobleman, and the girl who followed him was also quite talented, so it was absolutely impossible for him to be from a civilian background. In addition, although these black-armored warriors are not very brightly dressed, but the terrifying and strange combat skills are unheard of and unseen by Kelly, coupled with their strict discipline, Kelly has not noticed that these black-armored warriors have never made any sound since they appeared, they just silently carry out Yulian's orders, and this kind of discipline is not visible to the Praetorian Guards of the Hiro Kingdom,

That's right, this young master must be the representative of a great nobleman, if he can please him, then the queen .........

Thinking of this, Kelly's attitude towards Yu Lian also became more and more respectful.

"You should be familiar with those guys on the Golden Trade Road. ”

"This............ OK. ”

Because of the lessons of the past, Kelly answered very cautiously this time.

"So, you should know who is the strongest among these bandits, right?"

"I know that. ”

As soon as he heard this question, Kelly's eyes lit up.

"Don't tell you, my lord, in the entire Golden Trade Road, the strongest is the 'Moon Wolf' Daros and his gang of bastards, I heard that Daros seems to have reached the realm of high-level swordsmen, and he is only one step away from soul swordsmen!"

"High swordsman?"

Hearing this, You Lian raised his eyebrows.

That's him.

"Well, I guess you should know where that guy is based. ”

"This ....................."

Kelly's face changed slightly.

"Truth be told, that fellow from Daros is stationed on the west side of the Golden Trade Road, and they have the best piece of land, my lord. If you go from us to the territory of the Moon Wolf, you have to pass through the territory of several guys in between, and those guys are not easy to deal with.........

"You don't have to worry about it, you just need to lead the way. ”

Yuren shrugged his shoulders, and then he reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"By the way, we'll run into a lot of bandits before we meet that guy, right? ”

"That's right, my lord........."

"Good. ”

It seems that the food of the geists has been settled.
