The Evil Spirit

The monster was completely enraged and opened its mouth full of sharp teeth.

It spat out a solid beam of black light, shooting it at Black!

Black’s eyes narrowed. He did not dodge or evade.

He held the Demon-Cleaver horizontally in front of him.

The golden light of the sword flared, easily blocking the black beam and dissipating it into nothing.

The next moment, Black took the initiative to attack.

His figure was like lightning as he engaged the monster in close combat.

At the same time, another roar came from room 805!

Another identical monster rushed out of the room.

Its scarlet eyes locked onto Black, and it pounced on all fours like a wild beast.

Just as this second monster was about to pounce on Black.

“Swish!”

A longsword descended from the sky.

With a “clang,” it stabbed straight into the path of the monster’s advance.

It was deeply embedded in the floor, its hilt still trembling.

Immediately after, two figures appeared at the other end of the corridor.

It was Leon and Land.

Leon held another longsword, pointed it at the second monster, and said loudly.

“Hey! Your opponent is us!”

While swinging his sword to force back the first monster, Black shouted without turning his head.

“Don’t kill them, just render them unable to fight!”

“Understood!”

Leon replied crisply.

Although he didn’t understand the reason, he trusted Black.

“I don’t know why, but what Black says is definitely right! Land, let’s go!”

Before he finished speaking, the second monster let out an angry roar.

Leon and Land immediately charged forward.

Sword light and the monster’s claws intertwined, and they began to fight.

On the other side.

Black’s fight with the first monster was a completely one-sided affair.

Although this half-human, half-monster creature had a ferocious and terrifying appearance, its strength was actually quite average.

Probably only at the Mid-Tier level.

Not to mention that Black was holding the Demon-Cleaver, which specialized in countering evil spirits.

After a few rounds of fighting.

The monster had a dozen or so wounds of varying depths, from which black blood flowed.

Its aura also weakened rapidly, and its movements became sluggish.

Seeing that Black had the situation completely under control.

Kristine and Irena finally breathed a sigh of relief, their anxious hearts settling down.

At this point, the first monster, seeing that it was no match.

Its survival instinct made it choose to flee!

It turned around directly, pushed off with all four limbs, and slammed viciously into the door of a nearby guest room.

“Rumble!”

Wood splinters flew as it easily broke through the door.

It burst into the room, and the terrified screams of the occupants immediately came from inside.

“Trying to run?”

Black’s eyes turned cold. He brandished the Demon-Cleaver, and his figure flashed as he chased after it into the room.

Kristine, Jianye, and Irena exchanged a look and quickly followed.

The scene that followed was extremely chaotic.

Black and the monster engaged in a chase through the various rooms on the eighth floor of the tavern.

The monster fled blindly, using its brute force to break through doors and walls in succession.

It disturbed many scantily clad male and female guests.

For a time, screams and cries rose one after another, and the scene was a mess.

Black followed like a shadow. Every time he caught up, his sword strikes added a few more wounds to the monster.

He neither let it escape nor caused any fatal injuries.

The Demon-Cleaver had a continuous suppressive and burning effect on the monster.

Making its aura weaker and weaker.

Kristine and the other two struggled through the chaotic rooms, following closely behind.

Finally.

As the chase reached the last guest room at the end of the corridor on this floor.

Black seized the opportunity and struck with his sword.

“Splitting Sword!”

The golden light of the Demon-Cleaver in his hand flashed.

It split into several condensed golden sword lights, which avoided the monster’s vital points and firmly pinned its limbs and torso to the wall!

“Aargh!”

The monster let out a painful roar and struggled violently.

But those golden sword lights made it impossible for it to break free.

Kristine and the other two rushed over.

Looking at the monster pinned to the wall, they felt more and more that beneath its twisted form, it had very obvious human characteristics.

They didn’t understand what Black was trying to do.

Black approached the restrained monster step by step.

He let out a low shout.

“Dispel!”

As his words fell.

The Demon-Cleaver in his hand erupted in a golden light, illuminating the entire room!

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

The monster let out a piercing scream, its body convulsing and spasming violently!

Under the illumination of the sacred golden light.

Wisps of thick black energy were forcibly expelled from the monster’s eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and even its pores.

This black energy gathered in the air and finally formed a blurry, spiritual form.

A ferocious evil spirit!

“An evil spirit?!”

Kristine cried out in surprise. She hadn’t expected to see an evil spirit here.

The moment this evil spirit completely separated from the monster’s body and fully materialized.

“Demon-Slaying!”

Black’s eyes hardened, and he slashed down with his sword without hesitation!

“Hiss!”

The golden sword light cut the evil spirit’s body in two.

The spirit’s severed body, like burning paper, quickly caught fire.

It turned into wisps of green smoke, finally leaving only a small pile of grayish-white ash, which slowly drifted down.

Under the puzzled gazes of the three young women.

Black took out a small glass vial from his storage ring and collected the small pile of grayish-white ash.

As the evil spirit dissipated.

The “monster” pinned to the wall also underwent a startling change.

The inhuman features on its body receded like a tide.

Its skin returned to its normal color.

Its body also shrank and became smaller.

A few seconds later, what appeared before everyone was a pale-faced young man!

Irena covered her mouth in shock.

She recognized him. This young man was one of the three students they were looking for!

“It’s him. How could it be…”

Kristine’s voice trembled slightly.

They had never expected that the ferocious and terrifying monster from just now was actually their classmate.

What on earth had happened?

Just then, the unconscious young man’s eyelids twitched.

He slowly woke up.

However.

The moment he opened his eyes, extreme fear appeared on his face. He flailed his arms wildly and let out a heart-wrenching sound.

“A ghost! There’s a ghost!”

“Don’t kill me! Don’t come over! Don’t kill me!”

His mind was in a state of extreme confusion and terror, and he couldn’t communicate normally at all.

Kristine stepped forward, trying to calm him.

“Classmate! Calm down! We’re students from Dragonheart Academy!”

But the young man just hugged his head and cowered in the corner.

He kept repeating the gibberish “there’s a ghost,” not reacting to Kristine’s words at all.

Seeing this, Black stepped forward and said.

“It seems he can’t speak normally right now.”

As he spoke, he formed a knife-hand and lightly chopped the back of the young man’s neck.

The young man’s body went limp, and he fell into a coma again.

“Let’s take him back first. We’ll ask him when he’s more stable.”

Black said, hoisting the unconscious student onto his shoulder.

He looked outside.

“I wonder how Leon and Land are doing.”

“With their strength, dealing with these guys possessed by evil spirits shouldn’t be a big problem.”
