As a Spirit Swordsman, Rhode couldn't be more familiar with spirits. After all, Spirit Swordsmen were able to summon the spirit of the dead to conclude a contract with it. Even if the target was a stone, magic crystal, or broken sword, traces of the wielder's spirit might possibly be left behind in them. But Rhode had never seen a living creature and yet, failed to detect its spirit. This was totally unprecedented… It was clear that a dog biting a human wasn't news, but a human biting a dog was unheard of. Rhode had even worked with Erin to cast several brain-scanning spells on the woman, but was surprised to find that her mind was completely blank with no records at all. Her head was as clean as a reformatted hard disk.
"How strange…"
