"It's not funny."
Walking behind, Evelea bristled.
"So what do you want people to do?" Eleazar's tone was flat.
"Without mystical knowledge, without superhuman abilities, isn't this the kind of careful trial-and-error they can do, and what kind of fun are you expecting?"
"They lack the courage to seek knowledge!"
Evelea swings for the fences.
"To give their lives and souls for what they love, without such realization, they cannot touch that longing in their hearts."
Eleazar gave her a deep look.
The well-behaved and understanding Evelea that the villagers spoke of ended up in this situation after what kind of a turn of events.
After counting off the ones in front of her, Evelea looked up at him again.
"Why aren't you in a hurry at all."
Eleazar looked ahead indifferently, "I'm not an Evil Sequencer, I don't have those death-defying transformation rituals to rush my life, I don't have to rush to get a desperate promotion before the Church finds out about it, so what's my hurry."
Evelea stopped in her tracks and smiled with an inexplicable look on her face.
"If you can get promoted faster, you can see very interesting things oh~"
Eleazar looked back, "What did you find out?"
"Not telling you~"
Evelea suddenly laughed and pounced on him, hugging him deeply.
"Mr. Prince, no matter what happens in the end, you still have me~"
"Let go!"
The few people in front of them silently withdrew their gazes.
They had already decided in their hearts that they would never recruit couples after death.
Then explore all the way to the fourth floor...
The air here is unbelievably muggy.
It was on this floor that the fire was said to have occurred, and the crowd walked with extra trepidation.
Several of Norton's men kept wiping sweat from their foreheads, as if a hot wind was blowing on them from nowhere.
Evelea, who was walking behind, suddenly laughed, "Oops, it really is a daytime demon spirit~" Eleazar: "Crow's tongue!"
The demonic spirit, who was hiding somewhere, was very patient and started to exert its power when they were really deep into the building.
It's like they're eating them up.
Capable of exerting its power during the day, and when the sun is at its peak, it is without exception one of the most exceptional existences in the Ghost Spirit lineage.
The Daytime Demon Spirit, which has been growing for six years...
This time is placed on most mid-ranked Sequencers, who have basically performed a potion ritual already, and it's pretty scary.
If it hadn't been sealed off by the Church, it could have ruled this area.
[Hmm... Maybe it's been purified for so many years that it doesn't dare to show its form?
Eleazar looked around at the slowly rising visions and yelled at the frozen group, "Run away!"
The entire corridor had turned dark red, the building was like a furnace, bursting with heat that was too hot for normal people to bear, the siding drying out, rolling over and falling off, the doorways on either side revealing fire as if a blazing fire was burning inside.
This wasn't just an illusion, there was a real fire power affecting them, and if they didn't leave, they would definitely be burned to death.
Several of Norton's men looked at the flames pouring in front of them and were completely dumbfounded, only to be jolted awake and frantically run backwards after being knocked on the head by one of the maids.
The not-so-physical Miss Seebel had been picked up by Mia, and as the crowd retreated in panic, she was the only one who managed to look back in a daze, wondering what she was thinking.
After leading the group for a few hundred meters, Eleazar suddenly slowed down.
The entire corridor, it seemed, had become infinitely long, and no matter how much they ran, they could not reach the end.
Tugging at Lillian, who was about to run out of breath, Norton, whose demeanor was no longer divided, asked in a panic, "Why don't you stop running!"
Evelea explained softly, "We're caught in an illusion and can't run away anymore."
"What then!" Norton's face went white with despair.
Lillian's voice was filled with sobs, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have encouraged everyone to venture out here!"
Mia gasped for air and looked back at the crisis that was creeping up behind her.
"That means the flames in the back are fake too?"
"No, that would be true."
Eleazar hastily stopped his opponent from trying to fly into a rage.
"That demonic spirit just let us get burned, don't ever doubt it."
"So what the hell are we going to do!?"
Eleazar sighed, only to be reminded cryptically, "Didn't you guys prepare something before you came?"
Norton's realization quickly dawned on him, "Yes, we have holy water!"
Saying that, he took out the bottle containing holy water with his hands and feet, unscrewed the cap and just splashed it around.
A divine aura emanated, and the air around them flickered slightly.
Eleazar and Evelea don't move to avoid it, and don't seem to want to get wet at all.
The fire remained, the unbearable heat radiating everywhere, and nothing seemed to have changed in the corridor.
But the stairway they had been unable to find suddenly appeared, close by.
Norton's face lit up with joy, and they were ready to rush down.
And at that moment, an ethereal sob slowly floated down the stairs.
"Woo ----"
Eleazar nudged a few people who froze in their tracks again, afraid to move.
"Never mind, cover your ears and rush down!"
With that, he led the way down the road.
Norton a few people then face panic hurriedly followed up, dead cover ears, full of fear.
Back in that dormitory room on the 2nd floor, they didn't even want to bother with the steel arrows abandoned up there, so they were just going to leave like that.
Eleazar's gaze drops and he suddenly reverses into a hand slash, putting down the most resistant maid of them all.
Missy Seebel was similarly knocked out with little reaction.
Evelea pulls a shotgun out of nowhere and clocks Norton hard in the back of the head.
"Puff~"
Lillian stiffened back and stared blankly at the two men.
"You guys..."
Evelea: "Oops, seen~"
Eleazar sank down, "Did you do that on purpose?"
With that, he rushed forward and covered Lillian, who was just about ready to scream in horror, and fumbled with her head before slamming it heavily against the bedpost.
Memory Elimination (Physical!)
She was suddenly stiff in all her limbs and planted herself upright.
After settling these ordinary people who couldn't witness the transcendence, the next time was when they actually acted.
Eleazar slanted a faint glance at his side.
"You better lean in."
Evelea nodded her head back and forth, "I'll definitely try!"
Picking up the bottle of holy water, which still had a small amount left, the two of them retraced their steps back to the fourth floor.
The voices of the demonic spirits that were sobbing in hushed tones there gave a lurch, followed by an endless number of flames coming in and drowning them out.
"Judging by the voice, the deceased is female, and the search target has been narrowed down again."
Eleazar said as he mobilized his chilly shield, then glanced to his side, only to find the witch resisting more easily than he was.
"Up!"
At the end of the flames, a ragged, crimson demonic spirit was suspended in midair.
