Chapter 1993: Ghost Bernhardt

This thought was not wrong. After the Thunder Spear exploded, it was as if nothing had happened; the room behind the window and the square were all normal. But when Xia De instinctively felt that something was wrong behind him and turned to look back, the man with the pale face was almost stuck to his back.

Looking at it from a close distance, he could see that the face, which looked like it was covered in frost or flour, was actually someone he knew.

Xia De felt truly surprised at this moment:

"Mr. Bernhardt?"

This strange ghost was Armand Bernhardt. In the autumn of 1853, he was commissioned by his clan to carry a god-descension vessel prepared by the God of Blood to Midhillburg and help the God of Blood collect key relics for the god-descension, but he himself did not know much about the whole plan. He had experienced a card game with Xia De in the Sin Mansion. On the night of the Battle of Midhillburg, when Xia De was preparing to enter the mountain to find Grace and Helen, he even advised Xia De not to enter the mountain.

When in Midhillburg, Xia De could be considered friends with him. Later, he met this gentleman in Huntington City, and they helped each other a lot. He even knew that "John Watson" was Xia De Hamilton. It is a pity that the Battle of Pantanal made Mr. Bernhardt decide to "hide" in Willendale City last winter to spend the winter there.

And since parting in Huntington City, although Xia De had received several letters and a year-end festival greeting card from him, he had never seen this gentleman again. He didn't expect that meeting again would be in this situation.

When the ghost of the blood-sucking species was discovered by Xia De, it was already very close to him. The ghost floated forward as if to enter Xia De's body. But as the silver moonlight on Xia De's body flashed by, the ghost was bounced away as if hit by a huge force, and then the spirit body disappeared again.

The witch at the edge of the square was slightly distracted. She didn't know how long it had been since she had seen the pure moonlight that appeared for a moment just now. And for that powerful undead, she had already seen some clues; that was an enemy that even she, in her current state, could hardly solve.

"Something is wrong."

Xia De frowned while carefully observing the surroundings:

"Just now... did he have a shadow?"

【Yes.】

"But he is indeed a spirit body."

【Yes.】

"What kind of special undead is this?"

【Behind.】

While turning around to swing the staff, silver moonlight attached to the surface of the Staff of Yggdrasil. The brilliant and holy moonlight is the nemesis of all evil. But when the long staff hit the ghost behind him, Mr. Bernhardt's soul reached out and grabbed the long staff.

The huge power seemed to have no effect at all in front of this ghost. And that holy silver moonlight had already penetrated into his spirit body at this time, but he didn't look injured at all.

Before Xia De could express his surprise, he felt that the other party even wanted to snatch his weapon. So silver-white thunder spread along the surface of the black long staff. After the jumping electric arc touched the spirit body, the soul finally let go, giving Xia De a chance to retreat.

The strange soul of the blood-sucking species disappeared again, and Xia De also understood some things:

"The power of the moon doesn't work on this soul, I have to use thunder... Thunder is considered an extension of the sun's power... What went wrong with death in the doomsday world? How could it allow the birth of such a ghost?"

Although the other party had a shadow, it was clearly not an evil spirit infected by evil thoughts or obsession, but a pure spirit body. But it was precisely such a soul that showed the power of mixing both the living and the dead. Because it was not an evil spirit, not a soul of pure negative energy, even if 【Night Watcher】 had been brought by Xia De this time, the effect would probably not be very good.

Besides the interweaving of life and death, just now in close contact, Xia De had only seen the pure power of "death" belonging to Mr. Bernhardt's ghost when Priest Augustus spread his wings and in the souls that went away in the "true death". A ghost that could appear in the material world should not be so pure no matter what.

If he hadn't entered that water area of death several times, if he hadn't truly come into contact with the power of the Old God "Ancient Death God" during the fight with Joey Barton, then just seeing this ghost just now, his soul would probably have been too stiff to move:

"Besides me, Priest Augustus, Sister Daifulin, and Joey Barton, what else can deal with this thing?"

But besides "Thunder Spear", the power belonging to the "sun" on Xia De seemed to be only the miracle "Praise the Sun" corresponding to 【Arrogance】 and...

While thinking, the ghost appeared again. This time, the flickering figure appeared in front of Xia De, and then floated toward him slowly. The blurred figure gradually split, and more and more identical ghosts appeared, all reaching out their hands toward him.

Amidst the yellow sand, this extremely weird scene was not gorgeous at all, nor was there any sound, but it was definitely more terrifying than the huge dark merman he fought last time.

Xia De held the staff with both hands, charging like a long spear he wanted to thrust. Brilliant golden light gathered in his hands. At the moment the long staff thrust forward, he and the Great Witch of Time who was watching this scene together said the witch secret technique obtained from Witch Emperor Miss Violet:

"Sunlight Ray!"

The light cannon transformed from the scorching positive energy torrent roared forward, instantly annihilating those ghosts directly in front. And as Xia De turned the direction of the staff in his hand, the sweeping sunlight swallowed those ghosts located at the edge.

When everything ended, Xia De, panting, leaned on the long staff and gasped for breath. Bringing the "Sunlight Ray" to such an effect purely relied on the accumulation of spirits. Fortunately, he was no longer the low-tier Ringed Shushi he was in Midhillburg.

But he also discovered some problems. If 【Night Watcher】 was more compatible with Iluna's sun power compared to the moon power, then although this staff was extremely smooth in using the moon power, its performance of the sun power was clearly inferior to 【Night Watcher】.

"It's not over yet."

Although the square swept by the sunlight was still filled with yellow sand, Xia De clearly felt that it was much "cleaner" here. But a few seconds later, the cold breath of death struck again. The evil thing reached out to Xia De's throat behind him, but the black chain that rushed out from Xia De's collar took the opportunity to tie his soul.

The effect of 【Chain of Seven Sins】 was activated immediately, but the chain fell off on its own the next second:

"No sin? How is that possible?"

He retreated immediately, retreating twenty meters away by jumping through Lagley. The gloomy soul floated toward Xia De again. Xia De swung the pitch-black chain in his hand to hit him, and this time the chain even passed directly through the strange spirit body, really unable to play a role.

Miss Adele Isabella had already confirmed the origin of this soul in her heart. But she cared more about the chain in Xia De's hand. The six major sin runes flickered with dangerous and strange light under the agitation of the spirit. The knowledgeable Great Witch naturally could see the origin of this chain.

"What is the situation? How can a sentient being have no sin?"

Xia De on the other side was still surprised while retreating.

【In rumors, the soul walking toward the end after death will wash away all sins and head toward the very end.】

"She" said gently, but this was useless to Xia De. He didn't dare to open the passage to death in this doomsday world to see what was going on there. He instinctively felt that this was a very bad idea.

And even if he knew that Mr. Bernhardt's ghost was a soul returning from the end of death, it didn't help the status quo at all.

He continued to try to attack while retreating. Currently, 【Sunlight Ray】 and 【Thunder Spear】 were known to be the most effective miracles to deal with this enemy, while the many spells of the moon system and shadow ball, mind blast, witch light, etc., caused limited damage.

What was even weirder was that even if this strange soul was hit by the "Black Moon Mark", the power of annihilating concepts could not make him disappear.

"What on earth is this?"

No matter what Xia De tried, the undead with a flickering body and a pale face just chased him without saying a word. The soul only occasionally used basic abilities such as clones, teleportation, pouncing, and illusions to attack and dodge. Compared to the undead, this evil thing was more like a relic with specific rules that would not stop until the goal was reached. He didn't have the frequent and dangerous aggressiveness of the "Twin Lovers", nor did he have the large-scale attack means of the "Deep Sea Merman", but precisely this kind of most primitive and most difficult-to-resist tracking and attack was the most troublesome.

Fortunately, the attack effect of the "Moonlight" series of spells was not good, but the imprisonment function of the "Moonlight Ring" could still play some role. In the case of the "Chain of Seven Sins" being ineffective, one after another flying moonlight rings won valuable time for Xia De.

During the chase, he also tried to counterattack with "Thunder Spear" and "Sunlight Ray" many times. But the characteristics of the ghost determined that in this open field, it was difficult for Xia De alone to make the attack hit the other party completely.

Glancing at the witch standing at his door, Xia De still didn't think it was time to give up:

"There is no other way."

The long staff in his hand turned back into a black key in the light. At the same time as Mr. Bernhardt, with a pale face, flickered and reached out to float toward Xia De, his body scattered into thousands of red butterflies, flying toward all directions of the square.

Red butterfly avatar superimposed with red butterfly illusion, the ghost stood in place and couldn't distinguish which one was the main body. Then the illusory spirit body scattered in place, and thousands of small transparent bats followed those red butterflies and chased after them.

They passed through the wind and sand together. Under the gaze of Miss Isabella, the red butterflies led the bat group behind them and drilled into the ruins of the houses around the square.

When the last red butterfly and the last bat also disappeared in the square, only the St. Deran Square with sky-filled yellow sand where the witch stood remained, and it returned to the "silence" at the beginning. ===== CHAPTER 1994 =====
