American Horror Story

Chapter 105: Vengeance of the Flame Spirit Harland

After briefly describing the four people's situation, Saga continued to explain the current situation to Luke: "Because the four of us stole some of Harland's supernatural powers, he was unable to reach perfection and could never carry out the sacrificial ceremony, so he chased us and imprisoned our souls here in an attempt to take back the power."

"However, Mr. Blake has been helping us. The reason why James was able to leave here briefly was because he disrupted Haaland's control over this place."

"Black?" Luke had thought he was the mastermind behind the incident, but he didn't expect that he was actually an honest person.

Saga thought that Luke didn't understand the situation, so he continued to explain: "Blake is a teacher who just transferred to our school. He is also Harland's descendant. His body is occupied by Harland's ghost, and his soul is also cast into this world."

"However, because Haaland is using his body, when he barely breaks free and briefly returns to his body, he can influence the world a little bit."

As he was speaking, Blake's soul pushed open the door from another room. He said tiredly, "I have led my grandfather's soul away, but I think he will be back soon. You still have to be careful."

When he saw Luke, he didn't show any surprise, as if he already knew his origins.

Seeing Blake, the key figure, Luke's face straightened. When he first entered this world, he tried to use his mental power to break free and leave this world, but after trying it secretly several times, it didn't work.

And Black should have the ability to send himself out.

He looked at the teacher and asked, "Can you still take me out now?"

The other party looked embarrassed, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "I'll try my best."

The transfer teacher shook his head like a shaman chanting a spell. Not only was his neck exerting force, his face was also exerting force, and it turned red. Before long, his forehead was covered with sweat and veins bulged.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking a shit, I'm fighting with Haaland for the sovereignty of my body," he explained.

"No need to explain."

Luke rolled his eyes.

He had no interest in this ordinary white uncle, but his sense of justice of sacrificing his own relatives for the sake of justice made him look up to him.

Now when I see him shaking his head, I just find it funny.

After reciting for a while, Blake raised his head.

"It's done!"

There was surprise in his eyes, and then the world around him began to shake, which was a sign that the inner world was beginning to peel away.

When the world shakes to a certain extent, there will be a mental crack, and then Luca will be able to get out of the mental crack.

It was the same last time.

However, this time it was obviously different. The inner world shook for a few times and then suddenly became quiet. It stopped completely, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

"What's going on?" The foursome looked around in confusion. They were very puzzled because there had been no problems in the previous few times.

Saga looked at their teacher with a puzzled expression again.

Unfortunately, Blake could not give Saga an answer. He pinched his own neck, suddenly knelt on the ground, his mouth slightly open, and a noisy vomiting sound came from his throat.

It felt like something was trying to crawl out of my throat.

"Teacher Blake, what's wrong with you!" Saga hurried over, but before he took two steps, he was stopped by the thoughtful Isa.

"Wait, Teacher Blake doesn't seem normal." She quickly grabbed her teammates and looked at Blake with a strange expression.

"I feel like there's a ray of malice emanating from Teacher Blake!"

"Malicious?"

Women's seventh sense is very strong, even Isa herself doesn't know where she got her judgment from.

Luska looked at Isa for a long time without saying anything.

Blake pinched himself harder and harder.

Just when several people thought that Blake was going to strangle himself to death, his pupils began to twitch.

The eyelids opened wide and the eyeballs began to roll up, making it almost impossible to see the black color.

"My God, what is going on." Saga was stunned. His legs were shaking and he sat down on the ground.

When Luke saw this scene, he had already guessed the specific situation.

Ghost!
The corner of his mouth twitched.

In China, almost every teenager has seen this kind of scene. The lousy exorcism dramas all start with possession.

Young Americans have rarely seen horror movies, so of course they don't have his judgment.

really.

After Blake felt something strange, his pupils stopped moving, and then wisps of black smoke came out of his throat.

A mouthful of emerald green phlegm came out of his mouth.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

As soon as this thing came out, it began to bubble, and then the fire phlegm began to spread in all directions. Anything that was approached by this thing turned into nothingness.

At one point, he approached the Saga group.

Luke quickly took the four Saga people and retreated to a distance.

Faced with this scene, everyone had no other choice.

After failing to erode everyone, the fire phlegm had no choice but to go back again. This time, it spit out its initiator, Blake, and completely covered the whole world.

Just like Venom in the movie, the two became a symbiote.

But this thing isn't as kind as Venom.

After completely covering Blake, it began to burn, starting from his feet upwards, as if to burn him completely to ashes.

Blake screamed before he recovered from the shock, his remaining sanity making it difficult for him to endure the pain.

"It hurts! It hurts so much! Haaland, why, why do you treat me like this!" An ethical drama of grandfather's farewell and grandson's filial piety began to unfold.

Even Luke was moved by his shouting.

Unfortunately, there is still no solution.

If his body was still there, Luca might have tried to use [Molten Gold] to deal with this thing. Now that he is trapped in the other world, he is really helpless.

Blake was quickly reduced to ash.

In his ashes, a terrifying monster with an illusory body shape crawled out from the charcoal.

It was over two meters tall, and its body was surrounded by emerald green fire. The monster had a human face, but it had no expression at all.

She was not wearing any clothes and had no private organs to cover. All her key parts were flat, just like the legendary celestial being.

There is also a vague sense of illusion.

Haaland!
As soon as they saw it, they recognized the identity of this thing.

The Doom Camera captured his appearance. He looked very similar to Blake, a little old, with empty eyes, and wrapped in a thick leather jacket.

Now that I see the real appearance, they are exactly the same.

At least he is Harland, a third-level undead!
Just from the aura, he is much stronger than the earthworm monster and the big fish before. Coupled with this method of possession, the sense of oppression is even stronger.

The third-level humanoid undead is definitely different from ordinary monsters.

Humanoids are stronger than other species in terms of B-type, and their methods are special. Their wisdom is often not comparable to that of brainless beasts. Luke's mental power is extremely strong. After being blessed by the system, he has reached the peak of the same level and can even rival some ordinary third-level monsters. But even so, he can only barely resist Harland's mental pressure.

The other four people's reactions were more relaxed than Luke's. It seemed that since they shared the other party's authority, they were not too affected by the intimidation.

There was a single man on one side and five people on the other. The two sides were in a tense confrontation, but in terms of momentum, the five people were at a disadvantage.

Harland narrowed his eyes, wary of Luke.

In nature, wild beasts will only narrow their pupils and look at their opponents when they encounter a strong enemy.

It was obvious that Haaland was wary of Luke.

Likewise, Luke also 'respects' his opponents.

If he was not in the other world, he would definitely retreat and then take out various "fire" and "explosion" spell materials to show respect to the opponent, and would never choose to fight to the death with such a monster.

But now, there is no way to retreat. Who knows what it will be like to die in this diary space? Anyway, Luke feels that it will not be good.

[Death Hunt] was launched silently, and Luke locked onto Harland's position.

"Thieves, you thieves! All of you deserve to die!" After occupying Blake's body for a moment, his body had not yet completely adapted to Blake's brain. His eyes moved around, and occasionally there was a trace of clarity, but he soon lost his mind.

In his eyes, there was more of a desire for the flesh and blood of living creatures, his chin trembled, and saliva flowed out.

If this wasn't the other world, this saliva would definitely make everyone in front of him suffocate.

Luke and the four men quickly made preparations.

They were ready when the fire ghost Harland rushed over. When it got closer, it dived into the ground like a shadow, silently, like a ghost.

No, he is the ghost!
Luke swallowed and felt a burning breath. Without thinking too much, he kicked behind him with a crotch kick.

Sure enough, Haaland went around behind him.

He has [Death Hunting], which allows him to sense Haaland's location at any time.

It was difficult for Haaland to sneak attack him. After kicking him, he raised his hand and turned around, with flames covering half of his arm. The power-multiplying effect from the giant crocodile in the "Bone Tooth Necklace" was activated, and he punched Haaland heavily.

With the support of various forces, the two were now evenly matched and each took a few steps back.

Although close combat is not Luke's strong point without [Molten Gold] in his hand, fortunately, with the experience of [Indian Fighting Technique], he can still deal with Harland's attack.

In this exhilarating and bitter fight, hand-to-hand combat skills that are normally difficult to use played a big role.

The Sun Fire has a slightly restrained attribute against the Ghost Fire. Although Luke is only at the second level, he can still fight against Harland on equal terms.

Of course, the biggest advantage is [Death Hunting], which not only can locate the position of ghosts, but also has the ability to eliminate the opponent's corrosive power, and has become the hero of this battle.

However, as the battle was in full swing, Luke gradually became a little tired, but Harland became more and more energetic, and became stronger and stronger as the battle went on, as if he was the protagonist who was about to explode in battle.

big brother?

Luke felt a little depressed.

Who is the villain and who is the protagonist between us?

Fortunately, the foursome had some special abilities and joined the battlefield at the same time.

James summoned his past self and, together with the earthworm man Luska, helped Luke block several attacks.

Isa also put on the mask of anger, and gained powerful strength from the rage of being imprisoned and toyed with. While Harland was focusing his attention on Luke, she gave him two hard punches.

However, she had little combat experience and was hit half way in the face by Haaland's backhand punch.

Fortunately, James' time clock can be used on others. Although he cannot summon others from the past, he can slightly adjust their time, allowing Isa to return to her body before she was killed.

As for Saga, who controls the camera of doom, he is responsible for hiding and refueling.

As the quartet bought time, Luke stepped back and quickly distanced himself.

His mental strength was rapidly consumed by the burning of Harland's flames.

If this continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sustain.

Moreover, as time goes by, the opponent's combat intelligence becomes higher and higher, making it more and more difficult to deal with.

"This guy is regaining his sanity," Luke judged. "The longer it takes, the stronger he will become."

After a few more encounters, it was becoming increasingly difficult for Luke to resist Harland's fire. He began to feel lethargic and sleepy. If it weren't for his strong mental strength, he would have been crushed in another encounter.

The battle is indeed not that simple.

Of course, while Luke's mental strength was greatly depleted, Harland was not feeling well either. Although he still looked energetic, he still had a lot of wounds on his body.

Under the effect of [Death Hunt], every time Luke counterattacks, the scorching flames that symbolize the sun can ignite the golden sun fire again on Harland's body that has been burned to ashes, causing him to lose part of his soul.

However, the opponent didn't seem to care much about these wounds and continued to fight tirelessly.

A moment later, problems often occur when they are least likely to occur.

Just when Luke thought that he could use the four-man team to slowly wear down Harland, something went wrong with the four high school students who had been waiting on the sidelines.

They originally thought that Luke would be able to defeat Haaland, but after fighting with Haaland for so long, Luke still failed to gain the upper hand.

Not to mention the advantage, even being evenly matched is a stretch.

They panicked!

"Why wasn't the monster killed by the exorcist like in the photo?"

"The Exorcist won't lose."

They began to talk among themselves.

Once faith disappears, panic takes over.

These young guys, who do not believe that man can conquer nature and only believe in God, all said that they could hardly control themselves.

There were even signs of weakness in the legs.

"Let's run!"

Some people began to back away.

The friends who had just amazed Luke began to panic. Lusca and Isa ran back, leaving Luke behind.

Although James and Saga did not retreat, he still felt a lot of pressure.

"You guys are not playing me!"

Luke exploded!

It feels like when you are in a promotion match and are about to win, but your teammates surrender and hit the crystal, and they don’t want to play anymore.

They all forgot that this was the other world. Even if they wanted to run, where could they go? On the contrary, the act of running away would more likely attract Haaland's attention.

You're just looking for death.

really.

Harland, who originally attacked Luke, turned his attention to Luska and others.
