“Ye Chui, your new magic is indeed very powerful. Is this life magic?” Debbie exclaimed from her mouth, walking straight to Ye Chui’s side, happily patting his shoulder.
Ye Chui turned around. His body was emanating a strong bloody scent, his eyes were red, and his face was covered in a certain fierce and cold aura. Gilga, who had just shown an expression of astonishment, suddenly furrowed her brows slightly. Ye Chui’s current state seemed a bit off.
And just as this thought had formed in her mind, the next moment Ye Chui’s hands suddenly grabbed Debbie’s shoulders, his mouth revealing sharp fangs and teeth, rapidly biting towards Debbie’s neck.
The side effect of using [Blood Battle Intent] was an uncontrollable bloodthirst desire. If one was proficient in controlling this incantation, it could greatly suppress this desire, but Ye Chui was using this incantation for the first time now. After the previous bloody battle, the combat that burned his blood made him feel the bloodthirst desire for the first time, and for a moment he couldn’t hold back.
But fortunately, just as his mouth was about to touch Debbie’s tender neck, the blood red in Ye Chui’s eyes suddenly vanished. He woke up in time, hurriedly dispelling the [Blood Battle Intent] incantation. The sharp fangs in his mouth quietly receded, but at the same time a sense of fatigue instantly descended upon his body, making him unable to resist letting out several heavy breaths from his mouth.
He had almost bitten Debbie…
Ye Chui felt fortunate in his heart, but suddenly he felt a bit of strangeness again.
Gilga was standing to the side with her eyes wide open in shock. Realising that Ye Chui had returned to normal, she let out a sigh of relief, but Debbie’s body at this moment was extremely stiff. She hadn’t realised just now that Ye Chui wanted to bite her. In her senses, Ye Chui had suddenly grabbed her shoulders, then brought his head close to her ear.
She could feel Ye Chui’s heavy breathing, with soft and gentle breaths blowing onto her ear, itchy and tingling… He, what was he going to do?
At this moment, Debbie’s girlish heart seemed to suddenly start pounding fiercely.
Then, when Ye Chui pulled his head back and looked at Debbie, he discovered that Debbie was slightly tilting her head up, her eyes already closed, her mouth seemingly slightly pouted, with an appearance of expecting something.
“Er…”
This was a bit awkward.
Gilga saw that Ye Chui had already dispelled the side effect of the incantation, and the situation seemed to be developing in some unexpected direction. Her face also showed a strange expression.
The air was tense, the ground was full of ghosts, with cries of ghosts and howls of wolves, the atmosphere was very good.
Gilga gave Ye Chui an encouraging expression. She had witnessed Ye Chui and Debbie’s meeting and getting to know each other from the very beginning. Although Debbie had always been in the appearance of an innocent girl, she had long seen that Debbie actually had feelings for Ye Chui. Now with such a good atmosphere (…), it would be even better if that layer of window paper could be pierced.
Ye Chui was momentarily stunned, but ultimately a smile appeared on his face.
Well, since it was like this, then he wouldn’t hesitate.
He was preparing to kiss Debbie.
But, it seemed that some cosmic will was at play. Just as he was a few centimetres away from Debbie, a ghost that had not completely lost its bodily mobility suddenly crawled up grotesquely from the ground again, roaring as it charged towards them.
Gilga’s face changed, and she hurriedly drew the golden longsword from her waist. Ye Chui also angrily prepared to blast it with a cannon immediately.
But what caught both Gilga and Ye Chui off guard was that Debbie acted first. The little girl, with boundless anger, punched out with her small fist. “Boom,” that grotesquely shaped body of the ghost was directly smashed into the nearby wall, causing the entire house to collapse along with it.
Ye Chui and Gilga: “…”
This scene had happened far too unexpectedly.
Debbie maintained her punching pose, and she herself was startled: “Oh?”
She was a summoner, not understanding swordsman abilities, nor possessing the powers of believers or magic tutors. Her body was just that of an ordinary girl. How had she just done that, punching a ghost to death with one fist?
“How did you do that? Heroic spirit possession?” Ye Chui looked at Debbie in surprise.
Debbie also looked down at her fist in bewilderment. After a moment, the confusion on her face turned into realisation, and her eyes widened in astonishment: “I just borrowed the power of the heroic spirit? That punch just now was the Angry Clown’s fist!”
“Borrowed?” Ye Chui was stunned, “The Angry Clown isn’t a possession heroic spirit. How could you borrow his power?”
Gilga also understood what had happened. She explained happily: “Borrowing and possession are completely different concepts. Possession heroic spirits allow the heroic spirit to fully attach to the summoner’s body, making the summoner and heroic spirit one. But borrowing is a more powerful summoner technique than possession. Borrowing allows the summoner to directly use the heroic spirit’s combat methods and power, and when borrowing the heroic spirit’s power, the heroic spirit can also be summoned out to fight. Miss Debbie has awakened a new power of the summoner!”
Debbie also hurriedly nodded and said: “That’s right. This is a combat method that even advanced summoners may not necessarily master. For example, Gilga is not a possession heroic spirit, but if I understand borrowing, I can use Gilga’s golden sword energy, and this won’t affect Gilga’s summoning state.”
At this moment, several more ghosts emerged from a small alley ahead. When Ye Chui had let the Clown Girl Liya escape earlier, he had left a small bat by Liya’s side. His previous rampage through those ghosts wasn’t aimless; he was heading to where the Clown Girl was. And his perception told him that the Clown Girl was now in an empty house at the end of that alley.
The Clown Girl had clearly sensed the arrival of Ye Chui’s group, so she drove these ghosts to intercept them.
Seeing that Ye Chui and Gilga immediately prepared for battle, Debbie confidently reached out to stop them with a full face of assurance: “Let me handle this time!” Saying this, she took out her money pouch from her bosom, pulling out several gold coins from it.
Since she could borrow Gilga’s power, it was only natural that she could also directly convert gold into sword energy. Looking at those charging ghosts, Debbie sneered, casually tossing the gold coins in her hand into the air, then pointing forward with one hand.
“Golden Rain!”
Pa la pa la,
This was the sound of the gold coins falling to the ground one by one.
Debbie maintained her waving hand pointing forward pose, slightly stiff: “Eh? Why isn’t it working…”
Clearly, the little girl had not yet fully mastered the ability to borrow heroic spirit power. Previously, she had borrowed the Angry Clown’s power in a moment of urgency; that should have just been a special case. She still couldn’t do it at will.
Ye Chui sweated a bit as he pulled Debbie behind him, then accompanied by a terrifying dragon roar, the black gold flame dragon was summoned by him. Dragon Bao opened its mouth and spat out black gold dragon flame. The flames instantly engulfed those dreadful ghosts.
Under the powerful dragon flame, these ghosts that were essentially heroic spirit fantasy creatures dissipated one after another. Ye Chui, Debbie, and Gilga, using the path burned open by Dragon Bao, then entered that small alley.
Dragon Bao’s figure circled in the air a few times, confirming there were no other ghosts around before returning to the heroic spirit world. And Ye Chui, Debbie, and Gilga had now arrived before that empty house.
This house was a two-storey small building, looking dilapidated and decayed. The Clown Girl was now inside it. Ye Chui’s clone small bat was hanging upside down on the roof of the house, watching everything happening inside the small building.
Ye Chui beckoned to Debbie and Gilga, then vigilantly walked in. The door creaked as Ye Chui pushed it open. Inside was a dim darkness, silent. Ye Chui waved his hand to summon a fire snake, illuminating everything in the house. He looked up towards the stairs leading to the second floor. The Clown Girl’s figure was slowly walking down from the stairs above.
She was now wearing that clown mask, dressed in tattered colourful clothes, waving a coloured staff in her hand, and wearing comical clown pointed shoes on her feet. As she walked down, the stairs emitted tapping footsteps.
“I didn’t expect you could actually find this place.” Liya’s voice came from behind the clown mask, carrying a terrifying sense of eerie quiet, “But this is just as well. I was originally planning to go find you, to let you taste the power I possess. And Debbie, the ancestral clown heroic spirit is something I must have. Hand it over!”
“Since he chose to sign a contract with me, he is my heroic spirit. I won’t casually hand him over!” Debbie said coldly. For a summoner, heroic spirits were partners in joint combat, a bond similar to family. How could she possibly tear the heroic spirit contract on her own!
“No problem. I will snatch him over, because he will understand that I am his best host!” Liya said coldly and arrogantly. Her tone suddenly paused, as if she had thought of something else, and she asked, “I’m also very curious. Since you came to find me, what about your companions? And those children not bewitched by me, you don’t care about their life and death anymore?”
“Since they are my companions, they have sufficient strength. I believe they can take care of themselves and those children, they are all very strong!” Ye Chui looked at the Clown Girl and said with utmost confidence.
And at the same time, in a dilapidated house, the twenty-three children were huddled together crying loudly. Lessa, Green, and Gunny were using all their strength to resist those ghosts trying to rush into the house. Green’s face was one of utter misery, his long robe torn in several large holes, with quite a few bloodstains on his body. He had been injured by the ghosts many times, all healed by Lessa’s healing holy words, but now he already felt mentally exhausted.
While swinging a brick, Green looked towards the sky outside the broken window.
“Guild Leader, come back quickly, we’re about to hold out no longer…”
