Chapter 25 - Another Ghost

"A guest?"

The children and teenagers didn't understand what Nelia was talking about and turned their head to look at the back courtyard. Nelia herself had already walked there and bypassed her sister, who was carrying her son and frowned.

It seemed that Melia also noticed this.

After all, both Melia and Nelia were magic warriors and not just ordinary people. The two of them had participated in the wars and various battles. Their instincts were naturally not bad.

"You stay here, Sis. I'll check."

"Be careful."

"I will."

Nelia walked to the back courtyard followed by the children behind her. However, when Nathan and Silas saw the sign that Nelia made, they stopped the others at the door and didn't let them step forward.

The opponent this time should be dangerous.

But…

Who would dare to trespass Wansu City and enter the Green Family Residence?

"That's…"

"Ghost?"

Aya's eyes shook when she saw the ghost in front of her.

This time, the ghost looked very different from the ghost before. It was still in the form of a black shadow, but there were traces of water around the black shadow as if it was spurting water. And the water was black, which formed a pool below it.

They could also smell a rotten smell which really felt bad.

"Ugh…" Evan felt like vomiting right now. 

*crack* *crack*

"Does those b*stard from the Black Family made a new skill?" Nelia asked while cracking her first and turned to look at Silas beside her.

"That's not from the Black Family." Silas's face looked dignified. "That's the ghost that appeared during Evan's birthday."

"Don't remind me of those…"

"Ghost?"

The others also looked surprised. They have never heard about ghosts before and their families naturally would not inform them about this matter even if they were informed. 

Aya looked at this ghost and could sense the ghost was moving in her direction once again.

At this moment, Aya understood.

These ghosts would chase her whenever she saw one because she might be the only one who could threaten them all.

Aya took a deep breath.

One ghost was nothing.

As long as she removed her mana supply to her 'system,' she could still defeat the ghost.

But if the ghost army arrived…

That was another story.

She couldn't defeat them, not with her current strength. It would be ridiculous to even think of trying to contend against those ghosts.

"Well, I'll beat it up…"

"No!"

Two people shout almost at the same time. Both Silas and Aya knew that physical attack was utterly useless to the ghost.

Silas knew from his uncle while Aya knew because of her long knowledge.

"Why?" Nelia looked at the two people.

"Physical attack doesn't work," Silas quickly replied. "It has to be magic."

"This is troublesome…" Nelia frowned. Most of her skills were physical attacks and even if there were some magics, her magic was complimenting her physical attack.

There were not many other magic types.

"Nathan, call your brother. I can't deal with it alone."

"Yes!" Nathan quickly turned around and ran in the Green Family hall. He's the one with the best physical strength in the group, so Nelia asked him.

"Silas, use your shadow to restrain it and I'll attack it."

"Yes!"

"Shadow bind!" Silas raised his hand and the shadows around the ghost started to move before it turned into long arms and bound the ghost.

The movement was swift and fast. No one would think that their own shadow would attack them and on the battlefield, this could be fatal. Naturally, Silas didn't only know how to bound his enemies but also to attack them. But this time, he would play the supporting role. 

The moving shadow was restrained but Silas's forehead was covered in sweat.

He could feel that his mana was draining away as if it was being sucked. Moreover, the Black Family was not exactly known for having a lot of mana. Their mana could only be considered average.

"Teacher, I can't last long!" 

"It's enough! Fire storm!"

Boom!

Fire raged on the ground, covering the ghost and the backyard.
