Alex leaves the hotel with some hesitation, hoping to avoid the crowd and sneak into the ceramics plant. The evil spirit Franz returns to him when he follows the path to the office building with the locked doors and windows. Because there are still some magic circles in the underground pyramid that can block his remote control of undead creatures, he decides not to explore it and instead starts by releasing a wave of mobs.
The heavy wooden plank covering the window of the office building is thrown off with a thud by the crusty ghoul sent by him, revealing a hole large enough for one person to walk through. Alex's abilities are fairly adaptable. After all, his body has been trained by the aristocracy since he was a toddler and he attended the Knight Academy for two years before his family was destroyed, so his physical condition is pretty good among regular humans. This is the abandoned office building's southeast corner, with no other people nearby and a blind spot. He enters without drawing anyone's attention.
Alex enters the hole, with only the crusty ghoul in front of him, the evil spirit Franz floating above his head, and summons all the undead forces of more than thirty people at once, causing too much movement. He is not scared of being besieged by too many opponents, but he is afraid that the transcendent of the Tower of Yin Spirit will try to run and he might lose some of spiritual energy that belongs to him.
He moves along the corridor after entering and as he passes the toilet, he hears a sound coming from the men's toilet, mixed with the curses "slut" and "bitch". He furrows his brow and stops, following the voice and ordering the ghoul to move, just in time to kill the first one to get a decent start. The hard-skinned ghoul lets out a low growl and rushes in, smashing through the wooden door of the toilet cubicle with a thud, followed by a quick scream.
When Alex enters, he sees that the door to a compartment in the men's room has been shattered and a slender man in his thirties, dressed in leather armour, has three bloody holes in his chest and has fallen into a pool of blood. HE is not disturbed by the sight of the corpse, as he has seen one before.
He goes back inside and sees in the toilet cubicle, a girl covered in scars staring blankly and giggling. Alex realizes she is completely useless and has been turned into a walking dead for entertainment. He grimaces; he did not want to kill indiscriminately at first, but seeing that the girl, who is only 16 or 17 years old, is worse off than death, He sighs and orders the wicked spirit Franz to go finish the job properly.
The evil spirit instantly transforms into a white shadow and rushes towards the girl, passing through her chest without leaving any wounds. At this point, the girl's face freezes as if she has regained consciousness before dying and her eyes freeze. A sigh of relief can be heard. This is how evil spirits attack the soul with the spirit body while causing no harm to the physical body. He does not look at the girl again, instead his gaze returns to the dead man, and he reaches out and touches him.
He quickly hears the prompt that the cemetery has discovered psychic energy, as expected. Alex quickly absorbs it, gaining forty psionic powers that, when combined with this person's attire, should make him a junior apprentice knight. He does not forget to search after harvesting the psionic energy, but unfortunately, this guy has no additional magical items on him, only an antique-style pistol that is highly eye-catching.
Alex's eyes widen as he grasps the gun. According to the cemetery hints, this antique pistol also carries psionic power, and it has a lot of it, about eight hundred psychic powers! He does not rush to absorb the psychic energy this time, instead he slowly picks up the pistol and examines it. He would not hesitate if it was something else, but it is a gun. Although it is customary for a magician to use a staff, it is not unusual for a magician to be armed with a pistol, especially because this is an enchanted handgun with spiritual force.
Alex is overjoyed as he grasps the gun's handle to feel it, then pushes the runner out to inspect the rounds inside. The reel has seven bullet slots that are packed with bullets and can be activated at any time. This makes him grateful for his good fortune. His reaction might have been a little slower if it hadn't been for this individual who merely wanted to rant.
He tries out the handgun by taking aim, attempting to get a feel for shooting. He was a member of the school's shooting team and achieved a perfect score in military training shooting when he was in college. The original owner of the body after crossing, Alex Goldert, also received handgun shooting training and was confident in his pistol shooting abilities. As he becomes more and more comfortable with the handgun, he realizes that it is an enchanted weapon.
This pistol is significantly superior to the batch of enchanted handguns Alex purchased from Old One-Eyed. The magical handgun is a blank slate, while this handgun is a little gem encrusted with black gold and gems. While it would be despised by official level masters, at the apprentice level, it is a highly desired weapon. Alex decides to leave the pistol for now and takes the leather gun bag hanging from the toilet compartment, straps it around his waist, and inserts the weapon into the holster before leaving the toilet.
Just as he was going to leave, he saw a strong man standing in front of the door by the help of Franz, looking confused and fierce. The man had a long sword at his belt and a big sword hanging from his waist. he deduced that the man was a "heavy fencer", a profession that had fallen out of favour due to the advent of firearms and enchanted firearms. Despite their powerful reputation, heavy fencers had been slow to adapt to change and had stuck to their heavy swords, leading to their decline in popularity.
Alex did not care about preserving rare species, he only cared about enemies and allies. The man seemed to be disturbed by the smell of blood in the toilet and did not immediately open the door. Alex yelled in anger and quickly opened the door, ready to defend himself with the pistol if necessary.
A white shadow passed quickly, heading towards the opposite door. The fencer attempted to draw his heavy sword, but was too late. he managed to dodge back and draw his own epee, but was struck on the top of their head by an upside-down spike that appeared out of nowhere, killing him instantly. Alex, who was skilled in using this bone spur technique and had reached level 6, felt a sense of satisfaction before quickly dodging a sharp sword-qi cut. "You are not dead!."
Alex was surprised to see that the person who had just been struck by the bone spur technique was still alive, albeit severely injured and panting heavily. Upon closer inspection, Alex noticed that the previous corpse had turned into a badly damaged doll made of hemp rope and grey cloth "That's how it is, substitute doll!". He realized that this substitute doll, while capable of saving lives, was also exceedingly rare and expensive. It was unusual to encounter one in everyday life.
The heavy fencer was surprised when his attack was easily avoided, and a flash of despair appeared in his eyes. However, he refused to give up hope and defensively swung his sword, preparing to scream for help from his nearby companions. But as he opened his mouth to scream, he realized he couldn't make a sound, as if something was blocking his throat and he struggled to breathe. He realized that the white shadow was a spirit body and the ghost Franz had already touched his soul.
In a desperate attempt to break free from the evil spirit's control, the fencer bit the tip of his tongue and spat up a mouthful of blood, summoning all of his strength to shout for help and throw his enormous sword towards Alex. Unfortunately, before he could shout or throw the sword, he heard a pop and the ghost's claws pierced his back for a second time, killing him instantly. There was no substitute doll to save him this time.
Alex's face remained expressionless as he retrieved more spiritual energy from the corpse and dragged it into the toilet. Unfortunately, no other magical weapons were found on the body, and the gigantic sword was also transformed into 45 points of psychic power. He then emerged from the restroom with a wand in one hand and a revolver in the other, heading towards the most crowded area of the building with a swagger. He had already planned to kill a large number of people when he arrived, and the energy he obtained from killing a few scumbags only fuelled his desire for more killing.
Alex originally intended to secretly infiltrate the area, but upon seeing the underground pyramid ruins, he changed his plans. He believed that the pyramid still held magic, otherwise it would be impossible for it to interfere with his control of demonic spirits.
Alex thought that most of the leaders of the Tower of Yin Spirits were inside the pyramid, as it was the largest hidden base of the Tower near PARSLOV City and should have had more powerful beings present. Alex was no longer cautious of high-level magic apprentices and apprentice knights and wanted to be more unconstrained so as not to waste time.
As He walked confidently through the abandoned office building, he was noticed by an intoxicated red-haired bearded man who asked him who he was and what he was doing there. Alex chuckled and replied, "Then let's start with you!" The man continued to scold and threatened to hit Alex's dog in the skull, but Alex laughed and approached him.
