David Trudeau, the cult pope who had terrorized numerous people in the Northwest Province and had killed countless people, was unscrupulous, arrogant, and insane. He fell to the ground without even shouting. At this point, the other members of the Tower of Yin Spirits quickly drew their guns and deployed defence measures. Those who were present were all intermediate apprentices in the core of the Yin Spirit Tower. Two of them were already advanced trainee knights, erecting battle qi shields and coordinating their defence.
Alex did not act rashly after completing one strike. He ordered a halt to the assault, withdrew the ghouls and skeleton warriors behind the zombies, and began a gradual retreat. He appeared to be capable of killing David Trudeau if he so desired but including the evil spirit Franz and the freshly converted five ghosts, they all discreetly entered a state of 'spiritual concealment' and silently moved around the obelisk's flank.
After more than ten seconds, when the undead troops stopped attacking, the surviving twelve humans in the Tower of Yin Spirits were ready for war and eager to counterattack, but they had been coned. Alex maintained eye synchronization with Franz, sensing that the distance was close enough, and quickly issued an order.
First, the gun skeleton soldiers prepared their weapons and a burst of hurried fire drew the enemy's attention. Then, the evil spirit Franz led five ghosts to materialize five or six meters behind everyone in the Tower of Yin Spirits, transforming into white shadows and rushing towards the enemy. Although ghosts and malevolent spirits can conceal their spiritual bodies, once they attack, their mental energy swings dramatically, making it impossible for them to hide.
When Franz launched the attack, the visual synchronization between Alex and Franz was also broken, and he could only return to his normal perspective to observe the combat from behind. Even so, this surprise attack was sneaky and unexpected. Six people were hired on the spot, including two knights, one warrior, one thief, and two magicians.
They were all intermediate apprentices, but they were solely concerned with the adversary in front of them. They were directly attacked by the ghost while on watch behind him, and four people were killed on the spot. Only two magicians did not die on the spot due to their superior mental abilities, but they did pass out.
The two senior apprentice knights at the front were the quickest to react. They turned around and yelled, but it was too late. six people dropped to the ground, and then a few words were spoken. The white stream rapidly detached and flew into the air, then flashed and vanished. "Oh my God, it's a ghost!" As superhumans who are not afraid to fight, they swiftly identified the perpetrator of the sneak attack.
However, it was Alex's side who discovered the effectiveness of the sneak strike and instantly launched a general attack. The hard-skinned ghouls took the initiative, leading the ghoul squad to the front, while the weapons and skeletons provided cover fire. The combat did not last long, and even before the slower zombies arrived, the ghost and ghoul teams had finished the annihilation assignment with the assistance of the skeleton troops'. The bodies of seventeen people, including David Trudeau, were left in front of Alex. He touched each corpse one by one, gaining a lot of psychic energy.
Alex realized at this point that "success doesn't come easily." These seventeen people gave him access to over 2,200 psychic powers, as well as their weaponry and portable weapons. If all of the magical items are converted into psionic energy, the total amount can reach 4,000. However, He knew it was not yet time to count his gains. He instructed the skeleton warriors to quickly search the battlefield, collect all captured magical items, and bring them to the cemetery. He then turned his attention to the obelisk.
Alex approached the obelisk and noticed a bright light emanating from it. He stepped back, covering his face with his hands. The crusty ghoul then appeared and blocked the light. When the light faded, Alex saw a naked woman standing in front of the obelisk. The woman was in her twenties and had long blonde hair that reached her buttocks. She was naked except for her hair, which covered her private parts.
"Thank you for saving me, little warrior," a pleasant and welcoming voice said, causing everyone to feel at ease. Alex scowled at the woman's sudden appearance, not impressed by her attractive physique, but remained vigilant and continued to step back as the nearby ghouls and zombies approached.
The woman's expression changed, and she muttered "Damn," before quickly stepping aside, leaving only an exclamation behind. A light and shadow appeared on both sides of the obelisk, revealing two people with cloaks on their bodies, shouting towards Alex.
"An invisible cloak!" Alex immediately recognized that magic items with stealth abilities are rare and was surprised to see two identical items here. The two men who rushed over were both melee specialists, one wielding a fist-blade and the other a massive axe. They easily knocked away the two ghouls that tried to block their path, as if they were wild bulls charging towards Alex.
The two sides were close to each other and appeared to have used some kind of forbidden tactic to enhance their combat effectiveness. They charged as they have berserk and fought fiercely. In a blink of an eye, they were within five meters of Alex and formed a pincer formation in less than a second. Alex, who was not in a hurry and not trying to escape, simply raised his staff and waved it, releasing the bone spur technique that he had been preparing for a long time.
There was a constant bang as the magic was released beneath the ground in front of Alex, launching a swarm of sharp rock spikes of different lengths. The two people arrived too quickly and had a magical circle spinning beneath their feet, leaving them no time to try to escape. They tried to defend against the attack, but underestimated the power of the bone spur technique. They might have been correct to do so if it were a standard bone spur technique.
However, Alex's magic was not a simple bone spur technique. The hard, pointed rock spikes were sharper than knives and were ejected at a very high speed, creating a lot of kinetic energy and attaching magical harm, directly piercing the two people through their Dou Qi. They screamed loudly as they were severely injured. Alex stood there expressionless and commanded a crusty ghoul to go and finish off the two people.
As the hard-skinned ghoul cleanly slapped the heads of the two-mourning people, the screams immediately stopped. Alex looked away, then back at the sudden appearance of the woman's body, and surprisingly smiled: "Ms., can you explain to me what happened just now?"
At this point, the woman finally showed a terrified expression of fear and uncertainty. It was not an act this time, but genuine terror. She was surrounded by skeletal soldiers and could not escape. Even at the official level, it is difficult to turn failure into victory when faced with the muzzle of a charmed light. Alex sneered, not with a trace of profanity, but with awe-inspiring murderous determination, and a small arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. Without waiting for the woman to respond, he raised his hand and shot her immediately! A bang, a headshot, and the skull cracked! The woman was taken aback, not expecting Alex to shoot so quickly. Despite her head being smashed to bits, her headless torso remained, and a faint blue, stardust-like material oozed from the wound. At the same time, two whip-like vines extended from her back, like venomous snakes, and attacked Alex with a bang.
Unfortunately, Alex had been preparing for a while and had just launched a shot. He had noticed something was off about this woman before she could say anything. On the surface, she appeared human, but was more like a clay sculpture or toy doll. She had no life, but a soul from the high latitudes. This reminded Alex of his knowledge about the Tower of Yin Spirits. This cult organization's ultimate goal is to welcome the Void Yin spirits they believe in into the planet.
However, the true Void Yin Spirit cannot just appear in the human realm. It is powerful, but bound to the universe. Previously, the Tower of Yin Spirits used pregnant women to create magical fetuses, giving birth to the so-called "children of the void" as the avatars of the Yin spirit's consciousness, bringing them into the world.
However, multiple attempts at kidnapping pregnant women or forcing women to conceive have caused immense public pressure and the government and police cannot ignore it, so those attempts all failed. Surprisingly, there is still a dark secret buried and the Tower of Yin Spirit actually succeeded in creating this Yin spirit parasite.
It is a shame that this ghost parasite is extremely weak, as there are too few souls distinguished by the ghosts of the void, only one-thousandth of its body, and because it crosses the void, it has been greatly weakened. It descends into the void contained in the devil's womb and has no more than one-tenth of its spiritual energy. This ghost parasite has only some semi-finished spiritual charm products.
What's worse is that it encountered Alex, who, because his body is half-lich, can almost always maintain a clear and calm mind, making him impervious to the ghost parasite's spiritual charm power. If you look at it, you will become addicted, like the two people who were pierced into a sieve by the bone spur technique, who are simply confused and will give their lives to fight in the current circumstances. When Alex saw the two venomous, tongue-like vines that had entered the woman's headless corpse, he promptly ordered an attack.
A shot rang out randomly and the ghost parasite was already shattered by hundreds of magic bullets. The hard-skinned ghoul intercepted the two attacking vines as well, waving its bone blades with both arms and chopping them into pieces. However, the ghost parasite was still alive, turning into a mass of squirming, decaying flesh and expressing hatred and resentment. This made Alex frown and there was nothing he could do about it. He would never be able to completely destroy the ghost parasite unless he could remove the trace of the emptiness ghost's soul.
Fortunately, the battle here was over and Alex paused for a moment before deciding to retreat. He was unwilling to risk his life to see if the cemetery might absorb the ghost parasite; whether it was successful or not, it was too risky.
Alex's existence in this world is based on the cemetery. If there is a poor outcome, the Yin spirit cannot be wiped out, but it will be poisoned by the Yin spirit consciousness, resulting in the loss of the entire cemetery and no place to mourn. Alex has already made a lot of money this time and his unquenchable greed prevents him from taking risks. It is up to the people of the special bureau to deal with the headache of this ghost parasite that has turned into rotten meat. Alex decided to ignore the pile of rotten meat and focus his attention on the obelisk in the centre of the pyramid chamber.
David Trudeau and the others were performing some sort of mystical ritual around this obelisk, but were interrupted by Alex. Alex recognized that the cause of the massive psionic energy fluctuation was this obelisk. He took a step closer, paused briefly, then placed his hand on the obelisk. However, the cemetery's reminder did not arrive as expected and this obelisk, which contained a large amount of spiritual energy, was completely overlooked by the cemetery!
Alex did not expect this and retreated his hand, trying again, but the effect remained unchanged, causing him to frown and seriously consider the situation. He had never encountered a scenario like this before and thought to himself, "Is there a psychic energy option in the cemetery? Or is there another explanation?" Alex could not figure it out. If he had to explain it, he could only say that the psionic energy contained in the obelisk held some material that the cemetery did not want to touch, like a sweet drink laced with a nasty substance. No one would continue to drink it.
