When the ghost rider pulled his iron chain which was fully covered in hellfire, it passed through Inadu's spiritual body and started to pull something out of her which made her scream in pain.
Ahhhh~ Ahhhh~
The scream of Inadu shook the whole Mikaelson compound, sending things such as furniture, flower vases, glass utensils, and many other things flying.
The single scream of Inadu after some time turned into something hoarse.
After a few seconds, a scream of a man was heard along with Inadu's.
Glich~ Glich~
With a few glitches all over Inadu's spirit body, the iron chain pulled out a black fog that was continuously glitching.
Seeing that he was successful in an attempt to tear the old elder's soul from Inadu's spirit.
RAAAAAA~
"STAY AWAKE INADU... PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER."
With a roar, the ghost rider caused a sonic wave that dispersed the black mist and the old man's soul which was still sticking to Inadu like old bubble gum sticking to a black shirt.
The situation here is a complicated one. This is not a matter where the ghost rider could use his brute force.
Here, the ghost rider needs to slowly and carefully pull and tear the old elder's soul. If he uses too much force, he might pull back Inadu, which will make the two souls merge again.
If this happens, they will need to start again.
While pulling, Ghost Rider also encouraged Inadu whenever it seemed like she was about to give in to the pull.
Outside Mikaelson's compound...
A few minutes earlier...
When the hollow's dark aura started to decrease, it was felt by Freya, Vincent, and Hope, who were the witches present there.
"Don't tell me. Are they going to kill Inadu? If this continues..."
Vincent's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe what he had just felt—the presence of Inadu's dark aura was getting weaker.
His eyes glimmered, seeing the possibility of the hollow being eliminated once and for all.
"Did you see that, Vincent? This is what we are talking about. The one inside is someone who deals with hidden dangers, which we know very little about."
Noticing the surprised look on Vincent's face, Freya turned to him and said seriously.
"____"
Hearing Freya's words, which seemed like she was very serious, made him silent.
"It... seems Jojo has solved the problem. Right... seeing your reaction."
Hahaha~
With a loud laugh, Emmette smirked and walked towards Vincent and helped him to get up from the ground.
"____"
Sigh~
Looking at the man who punched him before now helping him to get up from the ground with a wide smile on his face. It was like the fight before had never happened and all that was just his hallucination.
"That's my Jojo..."
With a proud look on her face, Alice looked at others with her head raised.
Grit~
"Stupid workaholic... always working, leaving us behind..."
Rosalie, who was beside Alice, rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth in annoyance, thinking about how Jojo left them for two months.
"He had an urgent task."
Hearing his sister complain about her boyfriend in annoyance, as a good friend of Jojo, Emmette tried to calm his sister.
Snort~
"Yeah... yeah... I would have believed that if he didn't show up with a beauty when he returned."
With a snort, Rosalie shot back at Emmette, who closed his mouth as soon as he opened it to speak.
He could see his sister being very possessive when it comes to Jojo.
Ahhhhh~
Just when they were conversing, they heard a high-pitched piercing scream of a woman coming from inside.
Hearing the scream coming from inside, all of them panicked and hurried inside to see what happened, if they had tried to eliminate the hollow spirit form once and for all, whether it was fruitful or not.
"IT WILL BE PAINFUL, INADU, BUT I BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN HANDLE IT BECAUSE YOU ARE A STRONG WOMAN. IF SOMEONE EVER TELLS YOU THAT YOU SHOULDN'T LIVE AND THAT NO ONE IN THE WORLD WANTED YOU ALIVE, THEN REMEMBER MY NAME: JOJO SATARU WANTED YOU ALIVE AND TO LIVE YOUR LIFE HAPPILY!"
Just when they were about to open the door, they heard Jojo's hoarse voice, who was trying his best to motivate her.
"____"
"____"
"____"
All of them were frozen in place when they heard it.
What they heard just now was not what they expected to hear. All of them, with confused looks on their faces, looked at the door.
Grit~
"Open it... Marcel, we can't let the hollow live."
With narrowed eyes, fully misunderstanding the situation inside, gritting the few teeth still intact in his mouth in frustration, Vincent roared and urged Marcel to open the door.
Click~ Creak~
Opening the door in full swing, all of them entered to see the scene before them, which shocked all of them.
Ahhhh~ Ahhhh~
"____"
"____"
"____"
They saw Jojo in his ghost rider form, using his iron chain, which was burning in fire, pulling a black mist from a transparent woman before them who was screaming in pain.
They were stunned for a second, processing what was happening before them.
RAAAAAA~
When the sonic wave caused by Ghost Rider's roar dispersed the black mist, they saw an old man who Jojo was trying to pull out of Inadu's spirit.
Present...
"Leave meeeee!!! Who are you? Why are you tearing my soul?"
The old elder, who had regained his consciousness—previously in a sleep state to fully merge with Inadu's soul and consciousness—roared at the ghost rider, angry.
Hahaha~
"JUST YOU WAIT... THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING."
With a sneer, Ghost Rider laughed loudly, and his pull became stronger.
After watching the whole past of Inadu and how the old bastard before him had manipulated a whole coven and Inadu, not to mention worshipping a demon, all Ghost Rider wanted to do was make this old parasitic soul suffer the most painful death that he had feared the most.
"JUST A LITTLE INADU... THEN YOU WILL BE FREE FROM HIS CLUTCHES..."
Seeing he had already pulled most of the old elder's soul out of Inadu's spirit, Ghost Rider reminded Inadu to keep her resolve strong, just a little more.
Tear~
Ahhhh~
With a tearing sound and the hollowing scream of the old elder, his soul finally separated from Inadu's spirit completely after struggling for all this time.
"You... you... Why did you ruin all my hard work? My dream of achieving immortality is right in my clutches. Why?"
Looking at his soul, now completely separated from Inadu's, the elder could not help but curse in anger and frustration.
It's like waiting for a game to be completed for a long time, and when the completion bar hits 99%, just when 1% remains, the download fails.
GAGAGAGAGA~
HISS~
"STOP CRYING LIKE A CHILD... NOW HOW SHOULD I PUNISH YOU... HUH..."
Throwing the iron chain from his hand, which automatically bound the old elder's mouth, preventing him from speaking further, Ghost Rider started to think how he could punish the one before him.
The ghost rider noticed that, due to the commotion he had caused, others who were waiting outside had entered the room.
"FREYA, I NEED A PIG ALIVE."
Shifting his eyes to Freya, Ghost Rider asked her to bring a pig, alive.
"____"
Swoosh~
Not understanding what was happening, Freya nodded and turned to look at Marcel, who nodded his head and leaned from his place, moving at high speed.
She didn't ask why. By observing what was happening before her, she could already guess there was something that happened that they didn't know.
She believes him, so she has no problem waiting until Jojo explains why he is helping Inadu instead of killing her, as they had planned before.
"Why are you helping the hollow? What's your purpose?"
Vincent interrupted the conversation and asked the ghost rider with narrowed eyes.
While entering, he had already heard the conversation between the ghost rider and the hollow.
So he was sure Jojo was an accomplice of Inadu or one of her followers who wanted to release Inadu by fooling the Mikaelson family, making them believe in him that he could kill the hollow once and for all.
