In this spiritual world, shadows are not just the shadows cast by light on objects, but another manifestation of the soul of life.
Therefore, the "invisible servants" who are invisible and intangible in the material world can also slightly reveal their true appearance in the form of shadows in this spiritual world.
But what we see now is that the "Invisible Servant" who should have submitted to the Captain is actually gnawing at the soul of its master - this is the most dangerous part after the skill [Invisible Servant] is broken. As a higher-dimensional creature, the "Invisible Servant" will not die due to being broken, but will lose control and retaliate, instinctively devouring the host's soul.
The same thing happened when the sailor John on the ship went crazy and died for no reason. The doctor, who was even weaker, found it difficult to control his "invisible servant" even under normal circumstances. When the latter occasionally lost control, he would randomly select a "lucky person" from the living people nearby and devour their soul.
Once the soul is devoured, the person may fall into madness at best, or die at worst, just like John.
However, the captain was obviously not a doctor, nor was he John. Feeling his soul being torn apart, he immediately took out a strange seal made of brass from his tattered pocket.
This mark is very strange, consisting of countless twisted lines, which gives people a sense of crookedness and disorder at first glance.
But when the captain imprinted this mark on his own shadow, the "invisible servant" that was originally biting madly suddenly dodged in panic and dared not get close to his shadow at all.
"I command you! Formless shadow, gluttonous soul, invisible people from the land of no light! Return to your empty void! Stay away from my soul!"
Holding the seal, the captain shouted loudly.
Following this shout, the "invisible servants" that had retreated but were still surrounding the shadow immediately hissed and disappeared.
A crisis that could have resulted in his death was thus averted.
But the price is that from now on, for a long time, the captain will no longer be able to cast the spell [Invisible Servant] and summon such a useful assistant.
If you think about it, this is actually quite normal.
After all, from the perspective of the "invisible servant", it is equivalent to being hired by someone to work outside, but being beaten on the way to work and breaking its leg. It wanted to ask the employer for some medical expenses, but was scared away by the other party holding the business card of a big boss whom it could not afford to offend. After returning, it will naturally spread the news of the employer's black heart to the neighbors, so that they will not be fooled by this guy.
Well, that’s a bit more down-to-earth, but this is generally the situation.
Because of this incident, the captain's reputation among the "invisible servants" dropped directly to "cold", and he would not be able to summon them to serve him again in the short term.
Such a loss is no small matter, even for someone like the captain who has been greatly blessed by the evil god and has mastered many means.
"Charles, should we... continue the attack?"
The doctor at the side looked at the captain whose flesh and blood were growing bit by bit and asked cautiously.
To be honest, after seeing the other person's appearance, he didn't want to offend Yi Shen at all.
That guy is really too scary. With his ability to barely control an "invisible servant", going there would be a death!
The pastor and high school students standing by also felt the same way.
They originally thought that the opponent just had a faster reaction and a stronger attack, but they didn't expect that the Thunder Cage, which they didn't quite understand, would directly strike the strongest captain among them half to death and destroy one of his skills. If they were hit by this move, they probably wouldn't even have the chance to escape into the spirit world and would be struck to death outside!
At this moment, all their previous lofty ambitions and greedy ambitions disappeared like bubbles. They now only wanted to survive the remaining mission time and did not want to continue taking risks to fight against powerful enemies.
The captain, whose face had not yet fully grown, looked at the fearful men. His exposed muscles twitched a few times, but he suppressed his anger and said:
"This guy is indeed a tough one. We can't just attack him by force. So let's try another tactic and directly summon a blizzard and bury them with the might of heaven!"
"snowstorm?!"
“Heavenly might…”
Upon hearing this, the pastor and the high school student's expressions suddenly changed.
They thought of the snowstorm mentioned in the game panel.
Could it be that this is what you are referring to?
It turns out that it was not a natural phenomenon, but was summoned by the followers of the evil god!
But they both looked through their skill panels and did not find this ability.
Could it be that this is a unique ability of this captain?
"How much of God's power has he amassed?"
The two couldn't help but think so.
However, although they thought so in their hearts, they did not dare to say it out loud.
Seeing the captain's gaze, they nodded quickly to show their agreement with the other party's proposal.
"That's right, we are all lucky people blessed by God. We shouldn't take risks and risk our lives against them. Captain, your method is better. Kill them directly with natural disasters. We can just watch them struggle in the blizzard and be frozen to death bit by bit!"
Of course, even if they were not frozen to death, they did not want to take the initiative to attack again. However, they could not ignore the captain's strength, so they decided to follow his advice for now.
"very good."
The captain nodded:
"Since everyone agrees, let's go back to the altar. The ritual for summoning a blizzard is no different from any other; it can only be performed there."
As he spoke, he raised his leg and walked towards the altar.
Seeing this, the others behind them immediately followed suit, their minds a little bewildered. It turned out that summoning a blizzard required performing it on an altar. It seemed like a spell that directly borrowed power from the gods. They wondered if they could learn anything from observing...
However, they did not notice that a dark light flashed in the eyes of the captain walking in front.
Chapter 58: Shocking Changes at the Altar, Evildoers Devour Each Other
On the other side, Yi Shen and others waited in the thunder trap for a long time, but did not wait for the enemy's second wave of attack.
Later, even the fog dissipated.
"Is this...giving up the attack?"
Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little unsure.
“…It seems to be true!”
Yi Shen felt that the enemy had returned to the real time and space and appeared at the same position as before.
It seems that the other side found that they could not do anything to them and chose to retreat and defend?
"They are indeed scared. We should immediately seize the opportunity and defeat them in one fell swoop!"
Upon hearing Yi Shen's words, the bearded man immediately started shouting loudly, his fighting spirit aroused.
The battle just now was too short. He had no room to show his abilities from beginning to end, which made him very unhappy. He wished he could rush into the enemy's lair right now.
"I agree. We have Brother Smith on defense. We are impregnable and are not afraid of their attacks at all. Now it's our turn to attack them!"
The cowboy nodded in agreement.
Looking at the Tai Mei chefs, they also had no objections.
"Okay, let's keep going!"
Yi Shen nodded and set off again with everyone.
……
On the other side, after the captain and his companions returned to the altar, they walked onto the circular altar in the middle and stood in a circle around its center.
"Remember what I just said on the way, the ceremony requires us to chant the spell at the same time and offer our blood to the gods. There can't be any mistakes in between. Do you understand?"
The captain looked at the other three and said seriously.
"understood."
The three nodded to indicate that they had remembered it.
The captain nodded, took out a bone knife, and slashed it across his palm. The other three followed suit, stabbing their palms with bone knives or sharp broken bones, offering their blood to the altar of piled bones.
Then, led by the captain, the four began to chant the spell in unison.
It's not any existing language in the world, and it doesn't even look like a human language.
The fuzzy and harsh tones are sometimes high and sometimes low, and sometimes even exceed the frequency that the human ear can hear. Its complex pronunciation even makes people doubt that it can be produced by human vocal organs.
But such language undoubtedly has power.
As the spell was chanted, the four of them could feel the vitality and spiritual power in their bodies being drawn out and poured into the altar.
This feeling made the three people except the captain very frightened.
Because this really looks like a sacrifice having its life and soul extracted. Could it be that this is not actually a spell to summon a blizzard, but a trap set by the captain to devour the divine power in their bodies?
The pastor and the high school student looked at each other quietly, wanting to stop chanting.
But then they discovered to their horror that they couldn't stop talking!
Obscure and complex spells were automatically recited from their mouths, and more vitality and spiritual power were drawn out.
A distinct feeling of weakness surged into the hearts of the three people, and everything seemed to have returned to the state before they were blessed by God. No, it was even worse than that, because the extraction of power was not over yet, as if it wanted to squeeze out all their bone marrow, with no intention of stopping at all!
The first one to collapse was the doctor. Having gained the least power from the blood sacrifice, he began to lose weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. His muscles withered, his skin became dry and wrinkled, and his hair began to turn white and fall out.
In just a few minutes, he turned from a strong adult into a skinny corpse.
But what is even more chilling is that even after turning into a mummy, he is still chanting spells with his rotten vocal cords to keep the ritual going.
Seeing this, the pastor and high school student nearby immediately realized that the captain was really going to kill them, and they were shocked and frightened.
However, compared to the doctor who was eaten up without any resistance, although the two of them could not stop chanting the spell, they could still find ways to resist.
The first one to take action was the high school student. He almost immediately took out the high-tech energy pistol from his arms, aimed it at the captain and pulled the trigger repeatedly.
However, after the beam hit the captain, it seemed to have hit a projection and passed straight through. The captain's figure just shook and continued to chant the spell, taking away the power of the others.
"Oh no, it's an illusion?!"
The high school student immediately recognized it. This was a skill bestowed by the evil god, an ability called [Phantom Clone], which allowed the caster to create a lifelike phantom clone. As long as it was not directly touched, the appearance, sound, and even smell were exactly the same as the original.
When used in conjunction with [Walking in the Spirit World] or [Invisibility Spell], it becomes a first-rate secret method for ambush people!
It was obvious that the captain had been on guard against them for a long time. From the moment he arrived at the altar, he replaced himself with an illusory body and hid his real body.
'Where? Where would his true body be?'
The high school student couldn't help but chant spells, but his eyes were darting around anxiously, trying to find the captain's true identity.
At this moment, the priest on the other side pulled out a gun sword from his sleeve and threw it towards the open space in the center of the altar.
laugh!
Amid the sound of flesh being torn, a stream of blood splashed out from the air, and the next second, the captain's true body emerged.
——Compared to the high school student who always behaved very smartly, in this critical moment, it was the pastor who first guessed the captain's location.
His idea was very simple. Since the captain performed this ceremony in order to seize their power, the three of them were sacrifices. As for the main priests or the sacrificed, where should they stand?
The very center of the altar is a very strong possibility.
Although I'm not 100% sure, there's no other way now so I can only give it a try.
And this time, he really forced the captain out!
However, the priest's gunsword was no match for the high school student's energy gun. It was just an ordinary metal blade, and the sword did not hit the captain's vitals.
It was visible to the naked eye that the wound caused by the blade began to heal, and even the gun sword that was inserted into it was squeezed out and fell to the ground with a "ding-dong" sound.
Obviously, after obtaining most of the blood sacrifice power of the three people, the captain's regeneration ability has undergone a qualitative transformation, and his regeneration speed is almost at the same level as Wolverine.
When the pastor and the high school student saw this scene, they immediately continued to attack the captain.
However, before the two could continue to act, the captain waved his hand lightly at them, and an irresistible force took the weapons from their hands.
"Is it the invisible servant? When did he regain the ability to summon?"
The high school student immediately realized that this was the ability of the invisible servant, but hadn't the captain suffered backlash before and was unable to summon it again?
"No, that's not right. This isn't his, it's mine! He took control of the invisible servant away from me?!"
In just a moment, he realized something was wrong. The one who took away his weapon was the "invisible servant" he had summoned earlier!
And not only were their weapons taken away, these summons that were supposed to protect their masters now became shackles that imprisoned them, firmly controlling their limbs and preventing them from drawing other weapons.
In an instant, despair surged into the hearts of the two!
Chapter 59: Snowstorm Coming
As the last bit of vitality and spiritual energy was taken away, the consciousness of the pastor and the high school student fell into darkness.
At this last moment, what emerged in their hearts was regret, deep regret!
If they had known this earlier, they would have left immediately after obtaining the power of blood sacrifice. As long as they ran far away, neither the captain nor Yi Shen and the others would be able to do anything to them. As long as they could hold on to the end, they would be able to leave this mission world alive with all their gains.
But all this came to nothing because of the greed and carelessness of the two.
