Chapter 279: The Responder (Seeking Monthly Votes)

At this moment, this "Magician" was kneeling on one knee, clutching his head, his face contorted and his muscles twitching, as if enduring some immense pain.

He had just advanced to a Non-human Existence, and the hidden dangers of the pollution accumulated from his previous build-up of Spirituality had all erupted, further adding a trait of madness to him.

Not to mention... he had rashly used the core ability of the "Shadowless One" while still in a poor state just after advancing, clashing with the Investigation Bureau and forcibly breaking through their blockade.

It could be said that Kobo Phil, at this moment, was in the strongest yet most vulnerable state of his life!

So vulnerable that if he were to use the ability to travel through the Spirit World again, he might directly lose control and turn into a monster in the Spirit World known as a "Shadow Demon"!

And it was this very moment of weakness that Aaron easily seized!

Aokelaier's form lunged forward abruptly, directly utilizing the most basic ability of an Evil Spirit—Evil Spirit Possession!

Aaron did not want to let Kobo Phil run away; after all, "Shadow" Extraordinaries were quite capable of running.

If the other party saw the enemy coming and chose to teleport away even at the cost of losing control, he would be left helpless.

But after burrowing into the other party's body, it was different.

Kobo Phil clearly also discovered this problem; he discarded the silver card and grabbed a short wand with a ruby embedded at the top of its handle: "You cannot defeat me... do you see? The name of this Magical Item is 'Vanishing Wand', it can eliminate all Extraordinary Abilities. Even if you are a Non-human Existence, I can use it to eliminate the influence of 'Evil Spirit Possession' and expel you from my body!"

A tiny wound also appeared on the surface of that Evil Spirit's body, but it did not care at all.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and his head exploded like fireworks, blood and brains splattering everywhere.

Rip!

Snap!

Cold, chilling...

"If you were a composite path, perhaps you could have deceived me, but I happen to have some understanding of 'Shadow'..." Aaron's voice came out one after another from within Kobo Phil's body: "'Shadow' is the symbol of the Spirit World and illusion, therefore you previously only had one core ability, and that is—illusion!"

Aaron certainly would not care about Aokelaier; it had already died twice, so what was a little damage?

Even if Kobo Phil were ruthless enough to drag the Evil Spirit down with him, he would have no objections.

"So, your previous career ability was... as long as others believe you possess a certain ability, you will gradually truly possess that ability. The more people who believe, the stronger that ability becomes... however, in front of those who do not believe you, all your abilities will disappear! Your performance earlier was too exaggerated... especially when performing in front of me!"

"I already have enough Non-human Grade Strange Objects."

Aaron suppressed the excitement in his heart and lowered his head to inspect the spoils of war.

Aaron did not answer; he had previously tolerantly let the other party finish the performance and let them escape, merely to fatten the pig.

Aaron made Kobo Phil take out a revolver engraved with Mysterious runes on its surface and aim it at his own head: "Now take a guess... will a bullet or confetti shoot out of the muzzle?"

"Who?"

Even if the Magician wanted to travel again, he would have to take him along!

Kobo Phil felt the surrounding temperature plummet, and a consciousness suddenly appeared within his body.

The Evil Spirit Aokelaier emerged, quietly watching the Spirituality of this Magician precipitate, wanting to fuse with the short wand to form a Magical Item with a strong negative effect.

He seemed to sense something, let out a hiss, and his body suddenly became translucent, with countless shadows writhing within, turning into chains that coiled toward an Evil Spirit figure wearing noble attire that overlapped with him!

The Spirituality of the two Extraordinaries began to make contact, suppressing each other, competing for control of this body.

The surface of this silver metal card was engraved with countless complex patterns, and its edges were sharp; it was undoubtedly a weapon capable of harming a Spirit Body!

Snap!

The next moment, Kobo Phil's other hand grabbed the hand holding the card, and Aaron's voice came from within his body: "You cannot run."

"You are... the one from the bar..." Kobo Phil's expression changed violently: "Spare..."

Aaron made Kobo Phil raise his arm and snap his fingers.

Aaron reached out and grabbed, pulling out that mass of twisting, unstable shadows, watching them condense and aggregate in the Evil Spirit's palm into a black twelve-sided die, the numbers on which kept changing, just like the most brilliant Trick.

From the pitch-black tide, a giant iron-black tree covered in thorns suddenly emerged, with a huge, bright red human figure bound upon it!

How could he easily let go of the one who caused him to lose a bar?

And at this moment, it was time for the harvest!

Feeling that the other party's mind had been crushed, the Evil Spirit's manipulation went deeper.

"What did you say?"

Kobo Phil's face was twisted, and he spat out intermittent words from his mouth.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and his "Danger Perception" gave a violent warning!

A layer of gloom surged from the ground, turning into a pitch-black tide that submerged Kobo Phil's corpse and the Iron Crown.

'It won't work...'

At this moment, he let Kobo Phil damage the Spirit Body, focusing only on competing with the other party for control.

"Isn't it the 'Ocean Heart' necklace? Even sending a postcard requires fraud..."

The headless corpse fell to the ground, blood flowing everywhere.

"The remains of the 'Shadow' Non-human are in hand, only the 'Tower' remains!"

Aaron shook his head, wanting to pick up this Iron Crown.

"Back then, I was a member of the audience, so I chose not to expose your tricks."

"Then why not just try it, instead of saying so much? Are you afraid I won't believe you?" Aaron sneered: "Kobo Phil, stop acting."

The surrounding environment inexplicably became gloomy, a layer of white frost covered the graveyard, and on Kobo Phil's legs, a layer of ice covered them, constantly spreading upward...

Immediately, he discovered that "Iron Crown".

"You are not a Magician at all, you are a Fraudster! This short wand is not some Magical Item, it is just your prop for tricks. You made everyone think it was a Magical Item that could eliminate all Extraordinary Abilities; at first, you used illusion to achieve the effect, and then as more people believed, it gradually possessed the effect of eliminating Extraordinary Abilities... the more people who believe, the stronger the ability!"

One of his hands struggled to snap its fingers, and like performing magic, he pulled out a silver card and slashed toward his own body.

Kobo Phil's expression changed repeatedly, the hand holding the short wand trembling, yet he never used that Extraordinary Ability.

Aaron's voice was as cold as a sword, constantly piercing into Kobo Phil's body.

His expression was pale, and he said miserably: "You actually know everything, who exactly are you?"

"You... are not a Spirit World Creature, you are an Extraordinary!"

After saying this, Kobo Phil suddenly felt the other's hand lose its strength, letting his own card fall onto his body, slicing open a wound, fresh blood splattering...

"As expected..."

Feeling the powerful source material belonging to the 'Crowned One', Aaron sighed: "The Magician specifically fled here because someone was meeting him!"
