Wizard: You can become stronger by living life to the fullest.

Chapter 158, Section 055: The Wizard Tower Comes Back to Life

"Ah!!!" A piercing scream rang out in the room, and ripples, as if they were tangible, spread in all directions.

This is where the benefits of a high Soul Hammer level become apparent.

Faced with such an attack that reaches the soul level, the protective spells of ordinary wizards are simply no match for it. At this point, the soul may have already suffered considerable damage.

However, Rosie's soul hammering level had exceeded 20%, and its toughness was extraordinary. The attacks from the vengeful spirits only made him feel a little dizzy and uncomfortable.

"Ugh!" Rosie rubbed her head, trying to clear her head.

Nilu quickly asked, "Are you alright?"

Luo Xi shook his head: "I'm fine, let's deal with this vengeful spirit first."

As he spoke, he took the Death Scythe from his spatial ring, and a wisp of ghostly blue soul flame appeared on the blood-red scythe.

Ordinary physical attacks are not very effective against souls. Soul-level matter still needs to be dealt with through soul-level methods, and soul flames are undoubtedly the best way to deal with souls.

After unleashing its soul-piercing attack, the vengeful spirit has left the mirror and is now standing in a corner of the room, seemingly preparing for its next attack.

With a swift movement, Luo Xi appeared in front of the vengeful spirit, simultaneously slashing down with his blood-red scythe.

A dark blue flame drew a bright arc in the air, like a crescent moon, as it swept across the vengeful spirit. A scream rang out, and the spirit was cleaved in two by the flame.

"ah!!!"

The soul flames indeed achieved remarkable results; the blue flames, like maggots clinging to bones, rapidly burned the vengeful spirit's body and quickly engulfed it.

"Intruders must all die!!!"

However, the vengeful spirit did not dissipate under these circumstances. Instead, it charged towards Luo Xi amidst the raging flames, its long hair flying wildly and its long arms outstretched, resembling a female ghost seeking death.

Luo Xi's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stepped back.

Under the relentless attack of the vengeful spirit, its soul strength also increased by a level in that instant. If it were to take a solid hit now, even with its soul tempering ability, it probably wouldn't be so easy to withstand it.

Fortunately, he dodged in time, and the vengeful spirit ultimately failed to pounce on him before burning into a ball of flame in mid-air and disappearing due to the exhaustion of its soul power.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Teacher, did we win?"

"Defend the tower! Don't let the intruders in! Defeat them!"

However, right after the vengeful spirit fell, all sorts of strange sounds rang in Rosie's ears, and at the same time, one after another soul entities appeared in the tower.

They crawled out of the walls, emerged from under the floor, and came out of the cabinets—a dense swarm of them, easily numbering over a hundred at a glance.

Moreover, judging from their soul reactions, they are all high-level soul entities!

"Damn it!"

Luo Xi felt a chill run down his spine.

"Awooo!~"

Nilu let out a howl and pounced on it first.

She opened her mouth, and a black fireball about half a meter in diameter formed in her mouth. With a flick of her head, she hurled it straight at the ghost in front of her.

This black flame is called Hellfire, and like the Soul Flame used by Rosie, it is a special substance with soul properties, and it has a strong attack effect on soul matter.

The hellfire struck the horde of vengeful spirits and exploded with a deafening roar, instantly annihilating three spirits in the flames.

However, this loss was nothing in the face of the large number of vengeful spirits. The disappearance of their three companions did not dampen their morale at all, and more vengeful spirits immediately rushed towards Rosie and Nilu.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Under the attack of so many vengeful spirits, Rosie was unable to defend herself and could only retreat while rapidly swinging her blood-red scythe.

However, there were simply too many vengeful spirits, and they completely ignored any terrain. They could appear anywhere—ceiling, floor, wall, wardrobe, bed. Even though Rosie had wielded the scythe like a windmill, some vengeful spirits still managed to break through the encirclement and entangle him.

Bites, claws, screams—each attack struck Roxi's soul with devastating force. For a moment, Roxi felt an unbearable headache, and his mind reverberated with repeated shockwaves.

This attack was incredibly painful, completely ignoring defenses and reaching the soul level. To make matters worse, the vengeful spirits here were all quite powerful, with almost every one possessing the soul power of a wizard.

Even Nilu, a high-level wizard, was somewhat helpless against these spirits. Although her hellfire could hurt them, its area of ​​effect was very limited, as there were simply too many ghosts here.

"No, we can't fight here, let's go outside!"

The continuous damage to his soul made Rosie sense something was wrong, and he quickly gave Nilu the order: "Nilu, make an opening."

Nilu immediately unleashed a large fireball at the outer wall next to her, and with a loud 'boom,' the wall exploded.

However, after the outer wall was blown open, Luo Xi was horrified to discover that the blown-open outer wall was not made of bricks and stones, but was completely made of flesh and blood.

At the same time, a sharp scream came from deep within the tower, as if it had been in pain.

"Alive? This tower is alive!!!"

Luo Xi felt a chill run down his spine. He suddenly realized that this exploration of the ruins might not be as simple as he had imagined.

"Hurry up!"

He didn't care about anything else at the moment and immediately rushed towards the gap that Nilu had created.

"Intruders must all die!!!"

However, before he could run out, a sharp roar rang in Rosie's ears, followed by a series of whooshing sounds as long tentacles stretched out from the walls and coiled towards him.

At the same time, the wall at the blasted hole began to writhe rapidly, and the flesh and blood tissue closed up quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Luo Xi frowned and quickly swung his scythe to cleave the surrounding fleshy tentacles. However, by the time he had finally dealt with the tentacles, the entrance in front of him had already been blocked.

Nilu hurriedly released another fireball in an attempt to blast open an exit, but this time the tower was clearly prepared. Before her fireball could get close, countless tentacles extended from the walls and blocked it.

Several attacks failed to achieve their intended effect; instead, more and more tentacles emerged from the wall, entangling Rosie and Nilu like countless threads and trapping them.

"Hahaha!"

"Eat them! Eat them!"

"Have a good meal!"

The next second, all sorts of strange cries rang in Rosie's ears, and then, the dense horde of ghosts surged towards them like a tidal wave!
