82: Ghost Exorcist

Chapter 82: Incident during Exorcism

A minute later, Donald looked towards the Clock Tower and immediately said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the energy of the magic array is full. We can begin the Exorcism."

"Excellent."

Elizabeth nodded lightly, looked at Old Tom, who was still kneeling silently, and said slowly, "Imperial Uncle, please tell us the exact location of the evil spirit, so we don't have to trouble ourselves."

"Your, Your Majesty," Old Tom stood up with a frightened expression and pleaded, "Ina's soul body has stabilized and will soon regain consciousness..."

Elizabeth lightly furrowed her delicate brows, directly waved her hand, and interrupted, "So, what is your point?"

"As long as Ina can regain consciousness, she will no longer be out of control, but will become gentle and kind, just like when she was alive, and will never kill or do evil again..."

From the side, Dick chuckled and shook his head upon hearing this.

A Blood Wraith will be gentle and kind?

Will not kill or do evil again?

Truly ridiculous words!

Once one becomes a Blood Wraith, the ghost's thoughts will also undergo massive changes. The desire for blood and slaughter will replace 99% of their reason. This is an irreversible change.

Even if Ina regains consciousness, she is still a frenzied evil spirit and would probably kill Old Tom immediately.

Although already old and frail, as a magic tank, Old Tom's soul power is still very delicious and is a great tonic for Ina.

What beautiful love of the past?

In the end, it is nothing more than a sacrifice for the desire for blood!

Seeing that Elizabeth was still frowning, Old Tom immediately said, "Ina can be used by the Royal Family. A Blood Wraith's combat power is incredibly strong, and they will be invincible on the battlefield..."

"Enough!"

Elizabeth interrupted Old Tom again with an unquestionable tone, "My Aimiya Empire is upright and honorable and has always disdained such evil arts."

"Using evil spirits as soldiers, how will the surrounding countries view us? My Amyria's Ancestral Emperor disdained the art of controlling ghosts, and I also disdain it!"

Elizabeth did not know that using Blood Wraiths as soldiers was impractical. She just considered it from other aspects and refused Old Tom.

In reality, Old Tom was indeed talking nonsense. With his half-baked Exorcism ability, it was impossible to control a Blood Wraith.

Let alone letting Ina be invincible on the battlefield, if she didn't indiscriminately kill her own soldiers, that would already be a blessing.

Old Tom was just trying to find a way to save Ina.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider..."

Elizabeth no longer paid attention to Old Tom's plea, looked at Donald, and said, "Begin the Exorcism!"

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Donald bowed to Elizabeth, took off the longbow from his back, and turned and walked away.

Before this, Dick had already modified the longbow, on which many miniature Exorcism magic arrays were inscribed. It was a great weapon for fighting ghosts.

Not only that, Dick also taught Donald many high-level techniques, most of which were specifically aimed at Blood Wraiths' Exorcism magic.

The current Ina is just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Although Donald is not a professional butcher, he is strong and sturdy and holds a sharp cleaver.

Killing a little lamb is simply as easy as turning one's hand.

Just as Donald was stepping away, Old Tom suddenly emotionally hugged his leg and said loudly with a sorrowful expression:

"Donald, for the sake of me providing you with spirit springs back then, for the sake of being old friends for so many years, and for the sake of me not having many years left to live..."

"Can you not interfere in this matter... Please, give Ina a chance, I'll kowtow to you!"

Upon hearing this, Donald showed hesitation. It was the first time he had seen Old Tom so distraught.

Tears and snot streaming down, prostrating on the ground, extremely humble.

The surrounding guards were somewhat shocked. When had this highly respected Warden, the richest man in the Aimiya Empire, ever been so distraught?

"Someone, help Imperial Uncle Tom up!"

Elizabeth showed displeasure, because Old Tom doing this wasn't just embarrassing him; the entire Emilia Royal Family would be embarrassed together.

Elizabeth, with a cold face, directly cast a magic spell, causing Old Tom to lose consciousness and fall into a coma.

So many guards were still watching. If Old Tom said a few more words, her Emilia Royal Family's reputation would be completely lost.

Donald witnessed the whole thing but didn't say anything, just sighed helplessly. After the guards pulled Old Tom away, he continued walking towards the Clock Tower.

He didn't want to get involved in this matter. Amyria wasn't his homeland. Compared to so-called justice, Donald wanted more to save his old friend's face.

But there was nothing he could do. The Magic Contract made him have to listen to Dick's arrangements. He must kill Ina today.

Looking at the unconscious Old Tom from the side, Dick inwardly felt disdain.

Love? It's just a derivative of the biological reproductive instinct.

To lose reason for it is simply utterly foolish.

Soon, Donald arrived in front of the Clock Tower, looked up at the clock at the very top, looking at the ticking dial on it, with a solemn expression.

Dick had instructed that the evil spirit was behind the dial. That place was the center of the entire "Blood Sacrifice Soul Nourishment" magic array and also where countless magic powers converged.

If Dick's guess was correct, behind the Clock Tower's dial, there should be a coffin placed with Ina's corpse lying inside.

"Blood Sacrifice Soul Nourishment" can preserve the corpse from decaying, allowing it to act as a culture medium for the nourishment of the Blood Wraith.

No matter the circumstances, the physical body is always the most suitable place for the soul to reside, without exception. Many methods for nourishing evil spirits require the use of the physical body.

In the life where he became a "Ghost God", Dick also always preserved his physical body and after the final evolution, merged with it, becoming a Ghost God with a physical form.

There is an unchanging rule in this world: those with a physical form are stronger than those without.

Letting out a light breath, Donald drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aimed at the wall next to the Clock Tower's dial, chanted an Exorcism spell in his mouth, and a vortex suddenly rose under his feet.

A few seconds later, the inscriptions on the arrow lit up one by one, the surrounding Exorcism magic arrays also began to react, continuously strengthening Donald's arrow.

In the distance, Dick watched intently, ready to transmit sound at any time, even though there was no abnormality at the moment.

Donald's arrow could directly melt Ina.

With his 61st level magic power intensity, plus the amplification from so many magic arrays and runes, any Blood Wraith would not be able to resist and would be blasted until not even dust remained.

Considering this was a World Task issued by the System, and also considering what mutations Ina might undergo.

In short, Dick prepared a full one hundred such arrows for Donald!

Using Donald's intermediate talent of "High-Speed Rapid Fire", firing one hundred arrows in a short period of time, Dick believed that no Blood Wraith would be able to withstand it.

However, because "Secret News of Terror in the Past" was only 53% complete, Dick temporarily changed the objective, just to heavily injure Ina using Donald, making her lose combat capability.

Dick was not some kind of righteous messenger. Eliminating evil spirits held no benefit for him. Dick just wanted to complete the World Task.

Therefore, Dick planned to "interrogate" Ina later. Perhaps he could get more truth from her.

Whoosh!

Donald released his hand. An arrow carrying the power of Exorcism shot directly towards the wall to the left of the dial.

Although this arrow would not directly hit Ina, the fierce power of Exorcism would also spread to the surroundings, causing her to be heavily injured.

Suddenly, a fair jade-like hand suddenly emerged from the clock dial, then... steadily grabbed the arrow.

Donald watched dumbfounded, because this hand was transparent, obviously in a soul body state, coming from a ghost.

And a ghost could actually grab an arrow carrying the power of Exorcism... Is this reasonable?

"Dick, my little friend, what exactly is this..."

Turning his head, Donald looked at Dick, wanting to ask via sound transmission. After all, he was the real Exorcism expert.

However, Dick was driving a carriage, vigorously cracking the whip, fleeing at high speed without looking back.

"The plan has changed. To ensure Your Majesty's safety, I'm leaving first!"
