Whispering Verse

This idea was not wrong. After the thunder gun exploded, it seemed like nothing happened. Everything was normal indoors and in the square behind the window. But when Shade instinctively felt that something was wrong behind him, and turned around to look back, the pale man was almost pressed against his back.

Only when you look closely can you see that the face that looks like frost or flour is actually recognized by you.

Shade was truly surprised at this moment:

"Mr. Bernhardt?"

This strange ghost was none other than Armand Bernhardt. He was appointed by the clan in the autumn of 1853 to carry the divine descending container prepared by the vampire god for himself to Fort Midhill and help the vampire god descend. Collect key relics, but don't know much about the entire plan. He and Shade experienced the card game at the Sin Mansion together. On the night of the Battle of Middleburg, when Shade was about to go into the mountains to find Grace and Helen, he also persuaded Shade not to go into the mountains.

Shade had been friends with him since they were in Fort Midhill. Later, I met this gentleman in Huntington and helped each other a lot. He even knew that "John Watson" was Shad Hamilton. It's a pity that the Battle of the Pantanal made Mr. Bernhardt decide to "hide away" in Willendale City at the beginning of last winter and spend the winter there.

After leaving Huntington, although Shade received several letters and year-end greeting cards from him, he never saw this gentleman again. I didn't expect that it would be like this when we meet again.

When the vampire's ghost was discovered by Shade, it was already very close to him. The ghost floated forward, as if trying to enter Shade's body. But as the silver moonlight on Shade's body flashed past, the ghost was ejected as if hit by a huge force, and then the spirit body disappeared again.

The witch on the edge of the square was slightly absent-minded. She had not seen the pure moonlight that appeared just now for an unknown period of time. As for the powerful undead, she had already seen some clues. It was an enemy that she could hardly defeat now.

"Something's wrong."

Shade frowned while observing his surroundings carefully:

"Did he have a shadow just now?"

【Yes. 】

"But he is indeed a spirit."

【Yes. 】

"What kind of special undead is this?"

【later. 】

While holding the staff, he turned around and swung, the silver moonlight adhered to the surface of the staff of Yggdrasil. The bright and sacred moonlight was the nemesis of all evil. But when the long stick hit the ghost behind him, Mr. Bernhardt's soul reached out and grasped the long stick.

The huge power seemed completely ineffective in front of this ghost. And the holy silver moonlight had even penetrated into his spiritual body at this time, but he didn't look injured at all.

Before Shade had time to express his surprise, he felt that the other party was even trying to snatch his weapon. So the silver-white thunder spread along the surface of the long black staff. After the jumping arc contacted the spirit body, the soul finally let go of its hand, giving Shade a chance to retreat.

The strange soul of the vampire disappeared again, and Shade also understood something:

"The power of the moon does not work on this soul. Thunder is considered an extension of the power of the sun. What is wrong with death in the apocalyptic world? How can such a ghost be allowed to be born?"

Although the other party has a shadow, it is obviously not an evil spirit infected by evil thoughts or obsessions, but a simple spirit. But it happens that such a soul shows the power of mixing the living and the dead at the same time. Because it is not an evil spirit or a pure negative energy soul, even if [Night Watcher] is brought by Shade this time, the effect may not be very good.

In addition to the intertwining of life and death, the close contact just now, the pure power of "death" like the ghost Mr. Bernhardt, Shade only has the wings of Priest August and the departed souls in "real death" Saw it. Ghosts that can appear in the material world should not be so pure anyway.

If he hadn't entered the waters of death several times, if he hadn't really come into contact with the power of the ancient god "Ancient Death" in the fight with Joey Barton, then just seeing this ghost just now, he might have stiffened his soul. Can't move anymore:

"Who else but me, Priest Augustus, Sister Devlyn, and Joy Barton can deal with this thing?"

But in addition to the "Thunder Spear", Shade's power that belongs to the "sun" seems to only be the thaumaturgy "Praise the Sun" corresponding to [Arrogance] and...

While thinking, the ghost appeared again. This time the erratic figure appeared in front of Shade, and then floated slowly towards him. The blurry figure gradually split, and there were more and more identical ghosts, all of which stretched out their hands towards him.

In the sky filled with yellow sand, this extremely weird scene, although not gorgeous and silent at all, was definitely more terrifying than the last time we fought against the huge dark fish-man.

Shade then held the staff in both hands, accumulating strength as if he were holding a spear and wanted to thrust. Brilliant golden light gathered in his hands, and the moment the long staff thrust forward, he and the great witch who was watching this scene spoke out the witch secret technique obtained from the witch emperor Miss Violet:

"Solar Ray!"

The light cannon turned into a torrent of blazing positive energy roared forward and annihilated the ghosts directly in front of it in an instant. And as Shade turned the direction of the staff in his hand, the sweeping sun's rays engulfed the ghosts on the edge.

When it was all over, the panting Shade held on to his long staff and panted heavily. To achieve such an effect with "solar ray", it depends purely on the accumulation of spirits. Fortunately, he is no longer the low-level warlock he was in Middleburg.

But he also discovered some problems. If [Night Watch] is more compatible with Iluna's solar power than moonlight power, then although this staff can use moonlight power smoothly, it is obviously inferior to the solar power. In [Night Watch].

"It's not over yet."

Although the square was still filled with yellow sand when the sun swept over it, Xia De obviously felt that it was much "cleaner" here. But just a few seconds later, the cold breath of death struck again. The evil thing reached out to Shade's throat from behind, but the black chain that sprang out from Shade's collar tied him down. soul.

The effect of [Chain of Sin] was activated immediately, but the chain automatically fell off the next second:

"No sin? How is that possible?"

He immediately retreated, using Raglai's jump to retreat twenty meters away. The gloomy soul floated towards Shade again, and Shade swung the dark chain in his hand and hit him again, but this time the chain even passed directly through the strange spirit body and was really unable to work.

Miss Adele Isabella has confirmed the origin of this soul in her heart. But what she cared more about was the chain in Shade's hand. Under the instigation of the spirit, the six mortal sin runes shone with dangerous and strange light. The well-informed witch could naturally see the origin of the chain.

"What is going on? How can intelligent creatures be without sin?"

Shade on the other side was still retreating and surprised.

[According to rumors, the soul that reaches its destination after death will wash away all sins and move toward the end. 】

She said softly, but it was of no use to Shade. He simply did not dare to open the passage to death in this doomsday world to see what was going on over there. He instinctively felt that this was a very bad idea.

And even if they knew that the ghost Bernhardt was a soul that had returned from the end of death, it would not help the current situation at all.

He continued to try to attack while retreating. Currently, it is known that [Solar Ray] and [Thunder Gun] are the most effective thaumaturgy techniques to deal with this enemy, and many moonlight spells, shadow balls, mind blast, witch's light, etc. The damage caused is quite limited.

What's even weirder is that even if this strange soul is hit by the "Black Moon Talisman", the power of the concept of annihilation cannot make him disappear.

"What the hell is this?"

No matter what Shade tried, the undead, whose body was erratic and whose face was pale, just kept chasing him without saying a word. The soul only occasionally uses basic abilities such as clones, teleportation, pounces, and illusions to attack and dodge. Compared to the undead, this evil object is more like a relic that will not give up until it reaches its goal and has specific rules. He does not have the frequent and dangerous aggression of "Twin Lovers", nor does he have the wide-range attack methods of "Deep Sea Murloc", but it is this most primitive and most difficult to resist tracking and attack that is the most difficult.

Fortunately, the attack effect of the "Moonlight" series of spells is not good, but the confinement function of the "Moonlight Ring" can still play some role. When the "Chain of Sin" was ineffective, the moonlight rings flying out one by one bought Shade precious time.

While being chased, he also tried to fight back many times with "Thunder Gun" and "Sun Ray". But the characteristics of ghosts determine that in such an open field, it is difficult for Shade alone to completely hit the opponent with his attack.

Glancing at the witch standing at the door of his house, Shade still believed that this was not the time to give up:

"no solution anymore."

The long staff in his hand turned into a black key again in the light. When the pale-faced Mr. Bernhard once again reached out erratically towards Shade, his body scattered into thousands of red butterflies. , flying in all directions of the square.

The incarnation of the red butterfly is superimposed on the illusion of the red butterfly. The ghost stands still and cannot tell which one is the original body. Then the illusory spirit body dispersed on the spot, and thousands of transparent little bats followed the red butterflies and chased after them.

They passed through the wind and sand together, and under Miss Isabella's watch, the red butterfly led the bat swarm behind it into the remains of the houses around the square.

When the last red butterfly and the last bat disappeared into the square, and only the witch was left standing in the yellow sand-filled Saint Teresa Square, the "silence" from the beginning returned.
