When Lily finished killing those Child of the Moon stragglers and slowly sneaked back into the hall through the shadows, she was suddenly startled.
Why was the whole floor covered in white ash—
She had only recently left the hall. At that time, some Child of the Moon had already been attacked and killed by the Earthbound Spirit.
Lily guessed that it had probably been Young Master's doing.
Earlier, she had noticed Iver asking about the haunted inn near Eagle Cape Village and preparing the materials needed to seal the Paradox Flame Butterfly... So she figured Iver had probably gone ghost-hunting.
And it turned out she was right...
But that kind of death was not final for the Child of the Moon.
Just as Supervisor Cornelius had said, the Earthbound Spirit found it difficult to directly harm the Child of the Moon. The ones he killed were usually newborns who were weak enough. After all, their souls were too fragile... By directly attacking their souls, he bypassed the Child of the Moon's immortality and blasted them into powder.
As for the rest, most of them had been the result of mutual slaughter among the Child of the Moon who had fallen into hallucinations.
This kind of killing, without a finishing blow, did not cause truly frightening deaths. Although they fell down and lost their breathing and heartbeats, they were not truly dead as long as their blood had not completely drained away.
Even if they turned into gray-white sculptures, pouring enough blood over them at that point could still awaken them.
Even if the sculptures were destroyed by supernatural power until only ashes remained, a certain amount of ashes could be combined with the corpses of other Path of Love supernatural beings to create a new Child of the Moon.
