Chapter 162 - 0162: Seal (Three More Requests for Subscriptions)
“What happened again?” “Why is this happening?
The heart of the Silent Forest.
Bi Di and others who were affected looked dazed as if they had fallen into a classic philosophical state of stupefaction, questioning ‘Who am 1?’, ‘Where am 1?’, ‘What am I supposed to do?’.
On the other hand, the only girl, Jenny, managed to grasp the situation.
“This scene… is like… a violent robber, breaking into a house, in a fight with the owner?”
She did not understand why, when she saw the ancient mansion, full of crashing noises and endlessly shattering architecture, this was her instinctive thought.
“Ah-ha!”
Suddenly, the whole mansion shook, emitting a human-like scream.
Crack!
Parts of the wooden structure crumbled apart, and a black, filthy blood even seeped from the cracks.
This entire mansion was like an incarnation of some evil spirit!
“Looking at this situation… Could it be the Evil Spirit Knight has won?”
Su Lui s right hand revealed the Spirit Chain, his left hand reaching into his robe, tightly grasping something.
The next moment.
Crack!
A crescent-shaped blade light shattered a wall of the ancient mansion, and a black-clothed knight on a skeleton horse burst out.
It looked extremely distressed; its black cape was torn in places, its skeletal horse was even missing some bones, and it gave out mournful cries.
The breeze fluttered, it seemed capable of lifting a corner of the cape, allowing Su Lu to see the face of the Evil Spirit Knight—a skull with no flesh or blood, fiery flames burning in its eye sockets, that was the filthy spiritual flame from the Abyss!
Just by making eye contact, Su Lu’s heart skipped a beat.
If he checked his attribute column, he would probably have an additional status of [Curse of the Evil Spirit Knight].
As expected, that’s exactly what happened.
The next moment, he felt that his body temperature rose rapidly as if wanting to burn up.
“Spirit oppression!”
Su Lu coldly snorted, suppressing the heat throughout his body with spirit oppression. Then, he entered the second layer of Mental Realm with his soul trance technique.
That figure was just a projection from the material world; the opponent’s true body was still in the Spirit World.
Only such a high-level Spirit World existence could harm the Demon Mansion!
Boom!
Just as he entered the Mental Realm, Su Lu felt a terrible pressure sweeping over him.
That high-ranked domination almost caused him to lose his spirit, staying still as if waiting for slaughter.
“Spirit Chain!”
At this moment, he forced himself to calm down and waved his right hand.
The Spirit Chain formed a spiderweb pattern, spreading out in all directions. This was the most dangerous ‘spirit capture’ he had ever performed since taking on the profession of a Spiritual Medium!
Boom!
Almost the moment the Spirit Chain formed its web, Su Lu sensed a huge creature crashing into his ‘net’.
No!
The difference was like a sparrow caught in a spider web or a shark caught with a normal fishing rod!
The opponent only needed to struggle lightly for a moment to completely break free from the binding. Once that happened, even if Su Lu had ascended to the third level of [Odd Technician], he would not have the slightest chance of survival!
“Enough! Seal it!”
At this moment, having confirmed that the opponent was his target, Su Lu revealed a triumphant smile and swiftly threw out a card with his left hand.
It was a strange silver card, blank on the front and a mysterious vortex on the back.
Seal card!
A seal card specially made by a highly skilled [Spirit Medium] from the ancient ruins of the Chris Empire, designed specifically to seal away the Cursed Spirit!
This was Su Lu’s final safeguard for this operation!
Accompanied by a spell, a terrible vortex on the back of the silver card began to rotate, targeting the Evil Spirit Knight.
Whoosh!
In the Spirit World, a gigantic vortex appeared.
Even though the Evil Spirit Knight had escaped the Spirit Chains, it couldn’t dodge fast enough from the vortex. It started to distort and was slowly drawn into the core.
In the end, the vortex completely disappeared into the silver card, all abnormalities vanished.
The seal card fell, and the front now depicted an Evil Spirit Knight riding a skeletal horse in a black cape!
“Success!”
Su Lu took a deep breath, collected the seal card and returned his Spiritual Body to reality.
Outside the ancient house.
“Do you all see… that man just suddenly fell over and rolled his eyes back, is he sick?”
That was Jenny, pointing at Su Lu’s body.
Bi Di took a step forward, about to poke Su Lu with a stick, when he saw Su Lu suddenly open his eyes.
He fell backward, stuttering, “Si… sir, are you awake now?” Out of fear, he unconsciously switched to a respectful form of speech.
“Yes…haha…haha…”
Su Lu stood up and suddenly began to roar with laughter.
This only scared the others more; they thought he had lost his mind.
‘Thank goodness…this adventure was successful!’
As for these ordinary people, Su Lu paid them no mind.
The battle had been resolved and his soul had returned in just a few short seconds that they barely had time to react.
“On the whole, the plan was a success! But… after sealing the Evil Spirit Knight, I didn’t get any experience?”
Scratching his head, Su Lu sighed, “Looks like…just as I suspected, to gain experience, a True Spirit must be maimed or even annihilated?”
He looked at the seal card in his hand.
This high-grade magical object could travel between the Spirit World and reality, with the front surface now fully occupied by the Evil Spirit Knight.
“I wonder what other uses this card has?”
This seal card was his last resort against the Evil Spirit Knight.
Now, Su Lu came to the edge of the ancient house, carefully examining the damaged old mansion.
The main body of the demon-possessed mansion seemed to have suffered a combinatorial assault of a tornado and an earthquake. However, half of it was still unbowed.
What was even more terrifying was that there was black blood flowing from the cracked door.
Through the path that the Evil Spirit Knight had punched out, Su Lu could directly see the living room.
He noticed that all the portrait paintings that originally hung there had disappeared, leaving only scorched marks, as if they had been burnt by fire.
“In the end, did the demon-possessed mansion pay a heavy price to expel the Evil Spirit Knight?”
“Actually…the Evil Spirit Knight had already suffered a heavy blow; otherwise, even with the seal card, I might not have been able to seal it away…”
Being a fisherman isn’t an easy job. For example, in this situation, if Su Lu didn’t have a trump card, no matter who would have won, he would end up in a bad situation.
So why didn’t Su Lu use the seal card on the demon-possessed mansion from the beginning?
That’s because the seal card only had one usage, and it was only effective on Spiritual Bodies.
If the demon-possessed mansion wasn’t an evil spirit, but a marvelous object or even a creature, then Su Lu would be helpless.
The previous manifesting evil spirit was probably not the real form of the demon-possessed mansion, but a dependant spirit it controlled – the type of which, even if one got destroyed, replacements were readily available. If he had really wasted his trump card on that, Su Lu would’ve spat blood in frustration..
