Extraordinary Speed, Bullet Time!
The year 1012 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of the North Wind.
The cold wind howled, Falling Snow.
Heavy snow has blocked the mountain pass, Blackwater Valley is covered in a blanket of white.
"You all stay here and guard the house, do you hear me? Don't wander around."
Levi looked at the Three Brothers and the Hengha Er Jiang, while Harris stood on Levi's shoulders, looking at them smugly.
Harris was pleased that its owner was taking it out without the five big guys.
The Three Brothers and the Hengha Er Jiang, clearly also wanted to go out and have some fun.
However, they were too big, and Levi wasn't going to fight a war; he was just going to kill the Black Mountain Duke.
Bringing along these five big guys is quite eye-catching.
The Hengha Er Jiang and the Three Brothers could only look at Levi with resentment, lying on the ground, daring not to speak out in anger.
Levi said goodbye to them, and he asked the person in charge of feeding them to give Hapes some extra treats.
A few days ago, he drew a lot of blood from Hapes and made enough for him to use for several months. This revenge mission is going to last for an unknown period of time, so Levi can only prepare as many Giant Potion as possible.
Levi gazed at the Blackwater Valley in the wind and snow, the frozen Blackwater River, the villages with wisps of smoke rising from their chimneys, and the towering Black Serpent Stronghold.
He took the Demon Shark and the Demon Mountain and left without looking back.
Harris followed in the sky, slowly disappearing into the horizon.
Icewind City.
Compared to last year's Icewind City, this year's Icewind City is unusually deserted.
Every household had its doors tightly shut, and the streets were deserted.
"Could it be that the Evil Spirit hasn't been dealt with yet?"
Levi had been busy with his cultivation recently, and even his transaction with Earl Silver Mountain was handled by someone else, so he didn't know much about the situation in Icewind City.
It seems that the Evil Spirit of Icewind City have likely not been dealt with yet.
Levi first went to the Shining Tavern to see if he had made any recent acquisitions.
Unfortunately, nothing was found.
Vortex Worm Egg, still no chance.
As for Breathing Technique, there was no improvement.
Basically, all the Breathing Technique in the Icewind City area have been bought up by Levi, or by some hidden Breathing Technique Collector. In short, there are practically no Breathing Technique still circulating in the market.
Levi sat in the Shining Tavern for a while and learned that the Evil Spirit was indeed still in Icewind City.
According to unreliable rumors, the vice-captain of the Seven Holy Knights of the World Black Annihilation Knight, also came to Icewind City some time ago in order to cleanse the Evil Spirit.
The Black Annihilation Knight was a true Peak Great Knight at his peak, stronger than Earl Silver Mountain. In the entire Emerald Kingdom, his overall strength was enough to rank him among the top five.
Many people initially thought that with the arrival of the Black Annihilation Knight, the situation was now in their favor.
Unexpectedly, in the end, even the Black Annihilation Knight was no match for the Evil Spirit.
Although he was no match for the Evil Spirit, the Black Annihilation Knight still managed to escape. Before leaving, he took his teacher, Bishop Adolf of the Icewind Church, with him and went to seek temporary refuge.
Many people are saying that the Church has temporarily abandoned Icewind City.
Therefore, Icewind City has suffered a severe loss of population in the past six months.
Many wealthy people have already left this city and moved to other cities.
Those who have no money or no way to leave can only live here in fear, not daring to come out even in broad daylight.
"Is it that serious? I wonder how Earl Silver Mountain is doing?"
Just as Levi was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a group of people surrounding a bounty mission area.
In the bounty mission area, a new mission appeared at some point.
A crowd immediately gathered around to watch the spectacle.
"Given the continued haunting of the city by Evil Spirit, Earl Silver Mountain is recruiting extraordinary individuals to hunt down these Evil Spirit Evil Spirit. Anyone who can eliminate them will receive a superior Baron estate or a corresponding reward of Gold Coins."
Those who are interested can go to Silver Mountain Stronghold to register.
Everyone stared at the newly issued bounty.
"Even Earl Silver Mountain is helpless?"
"This Evil Spirit is terrifying."
"Who would dare take this? It's suicide! The Baron's territory may be good, but it's not worth risking my life for."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, and after a while, they dispersed.
A thought struck Levi, and he turned and left the Shining Tavern.
Silver Mountain Stronghold.
Several figures stood at the entrance of Earl Silver Mountain's mansion.
This included a person of average build who wore White Wolf Mask.
It was Levi, who was mingling in the crowd.
Before long, Earl Silver Mountain came out and looked at Levi and the others.
At this moment, Earl Silver Mountain's face was somewhat pale.
"Thank you all for coming. You are all aware of how troublesome this Evil Spirit is, so please think carefully before undertaking this mission and act within your capabilities. If you are not confident in your abilities, it is best to withdraw now, otherwise, don't blame me if something goes wrong," said Earl Silver Mountain.
He looked around at the group of people.
There were two who appeared to be Great Knight; one wore White Wolf Mask, and the other was clad in heavy armor and had a burly build.
The others weren't even Great Knight.
Facing Evil Spirit only leads to certain death.
However, since these people dared to come, they must have been mentally prepared.
After Earl Silver Mountain finished speaking, no one chose to leave.
"My Lord Earl, if I complete the mission, could I change the reward? I don't want the Baron's territory, and I don't need Gold Coins," said the White Wolf Mask.
"Oh, then what do you want?" Earl Silver Mountain asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but it's definitely not an unreasonable request. Let me catch the Evil Spirit first," the White Wolf Mask said casually.
"Such arrogance, as if the Evil Spirit are yours for the taking," the other Great Knight said with a sneer.
Levi ignored him and waited quietly for Earl Silver Mountain's reply.
"Sure, if you can really capture the Evil Spirit, I can agree to any conditions you set, as long as they aren't too unreasonable," Earl Silver Mountain said.
Then, Levi and his companions were invited to the council chamber by the Earl Silver Mountain.
"Gentlemen, based on the information I've received from the church, this Evil Spirit should be Dangerous Level Evil Spirit, the Soul-Stealing Nun. This type of Evil Spirit is quite strong even among Dangerous Level spirits. The Soul -Soul-Stealing Nun can absorb human souls, and if the soul is strong enough, such as Great Knight, it can be resisted for a period of time."
If it were a mortal or an ordinary Knight, their soul would be taken away instantly, and they would die! The Soul-Stealing Nun's killing cycle is one week, and all of her victims are male Knight. From the information I have so far, the Soul-Stealing Nun likes to possess women, especially nuns in churches. So when you are looking for this fiend, you can try to find a breakthrough in churches.
The Soul-Stealing Nun last committed murder three days ago at the home of an old nobleman in the east of the city, so I speculate that she will reappear in four days.
If there's anything else you'd like to ask, please feel free to ask.
Earl Silver Mountain looked at the crowd.
After seeing that everyone had no questions, Earl Silver Mountain concluded by saying, "I wish you all success."
After that, everyone dispersed and went to prepare for the exorcism.
Levi helped with the exorcism because Earl Silver Mountain had something he wanted.
Those four excellent Breathing Technique, and the perfect "Red Lotus Breathing Technique"! Levi had been eyeing them for a long time.
His strength is now vastly different from what it used to be.
The Ninth-Order Black Serpent, protected by Black Scale, along with the Dragon Might Seal, the Echo of Gold, and other effective means against Evil Spirit, has it all.
Dangerous Level Evil Spirit should be no problem.
During this time, Levi also learned about the official classification of Evil Spirit through the Shining Tavern.
Restricted Level, Dangerous Level, Calamity Level.
The Restricted Level is like the Chain Evil Spirit, which is very weak. If the Great Knight is prepared, he can deal with it.
The Dangerous Level is like that of the Water Nymph; ordinary Great Knight are no match for her, but if they are lucky, they can still escape.
Above that is the strongest of all evil Evil Spirit, the King of Evil Spirit, the Calamity Level! The Nameless Evil Spirit that supposedly killed the White Horse Knight and the old king is Calamity Level spirit, which is so terrifying that only Legendary Knight can defeat it.
However, Levi felt that even against Calamity Level, he was capable of putting up a fight.
After all, he possessed his true trump card: the Dragon Might Rune Seal.
Therefore, after comprehensively analyzing its own strengths...
Levi felt that killing or even capturing the Evil Spirit alive was not a problem.
"The Evil Spirit will appear in four days."
"He likes to possess women, only kills men, and often targets the strong."
"There are only so many strong people in Icewind City now, namely Earl Silver Mountain, the Great Knight who also took on the exorcism mission, and myself. Besides them, there may be some hidden Great Knight, and then some Knight."
"The Earl Silver Mountain has already been attacked once. The probability of the Evil Spirit attacking again after failing is not high. So, for so long, the Earl Silver Mountain Earl Silver Mountain not been attacked a second time."
"So, the one most vulnerable to attack is actually me, or another Great Knight. Let's see who that Evil Spirit will target."
Levi did not intend to actively seek out Evil Spirit.
He found a hotel and settled in.
The Demon Shark and the Demon Mountain act as his protectors.
Levi entered a state of meditation.
The Siren Breathing Technique is about to reach Eighth Rank.
If one can achieve the Eighth Rank of the Siren Breathing Technique and attain Extraordinary Speed before the Evil Spirit appear, one's strength will reach a new level, making one more adept at dealing with the Evil Spirit.
at the same time.
The others then began searching for the Evil Spirit within the city.
Earl Silver Mountain sat there with a worried expression, gazing into the distance.
His original intention was to see if he could recruit some real experts to exorcise spirits.
Unfortunately, it seems to have failed so far.
Those people who accepted the commission didn't seem to be as good as me.
If they themselves are no match for Evil Spirit, then they are basically out of luck as well.
Earl Silver Mountain had absolutely no hope.
Even the vice-captain of the Seven Holy Knights of the World, the Black Annihilation Knight, was no match for the Evil Spirit Evil Spirit, which may have already approached the Calamity Level.
"May Heavenly Father above, grant us some miracle."
Earl Silver Mountain prayed in his heart.
Three days later.
Inside the small hotel.
The Siren Seed on Levi's chest suddenly began to dance wildly, just like the mythical Kraken.
Levi opened his eyes.
"The Siren Seed has reached the Eighth Rank."
Levi was overjoyed.
He felt the surging energy within him, making his body lighter and more explosive.
Levi ————
Siren Breathing Technique: Eighth Rank (Limit Limit, Can Be Broken, Current Breakthrough Progress 0/6), Special Effects: Extraordinary Speed, Bone Shrinking and Shape Shifting
"Extraordinary Speed: Your speed is unparalleled, surpassing the limits of mortals and the vast majority of mortal objects. Your reaction ability is even more abnormal, and your attack speed is even more rapid. The moment you move, the movements of mortals appear as slow motion in your eyes. Bullet Time enters reality, and you can easily catch arrows and hidden weapons that are shot at you with your bare hands!"
Looking at the Extraordinary Speed of the freshly baked product.
Levi breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, before dealing with the Evil Spirit, he managed to increase his strength once again.
Levi now possesses four extraordinary attributes.
They are Black Scale, Extraordinary Strength, Extraordinary Endurance, and Extraordinary Speed.
Anyone who possesses any one of these four extraordinary attributes can be called Great Knight.
But Levi possesses four!
This can only be described as a monster.
Levi arrived in the wilderness, burst into action, and shot off with a roar.
It vanished as a fleeting shadow, raising a trail of dust in its wake.
The high-speed wind pressure could not shake the protective Black Qi surrounding Levi.
"So fast, it feels like flying."
Levi stopped, his speed of 100 meters was already close to 1 second.
"With my Extraordinary Endurance, I should be able to maintain this extreme burst of speed for five minutes without any problem."
In other words, Levi can now run dozens of miles in five minutes when he is running at full speed.
For him, no means of transportation in this era was as fast as his own two feet.
"Now we are more confident in dealing with Evil Spirit."
Levi returned to Icewind City and quietly awaited the arrival of tomorrow.
The next day.
The other exorcists had already set off early to search for Evil Spirit.
Levi sat quietly at home.
"That Evil Spirit might come looking for me, if it's still in this city..."
Levi was talking to himself.
Levi has already prepared the Casting Material the Guardian Seal, the Flame Stream Seal, and the Dragon Might Seal.
The Black Snake Seed within its body is poised to unleash its surging Black Qi and engulf the Evil Spirit.
Demon Shark and Demon Mountain stood guard on either side of him like loyal protectors.
Levi waited from day to night.
But the Evil Spirit did not appear.
"Could it be that he went to find another Great Knight?"
Levi's heart stirred slightly.
He leaped away from the house, with Demon Shark and Demon Mountain following behind.
Soon, Levi found the Great Knight.
He is waiting here at the church.
Seeing that the other party was alright, Levi knew that the Soul-Stealing Nun had most likely not appeared yet.
At the same time, Levi's Spider Sense sensed a sense of danger.
The source of the feeling is inside the church.
"Looks like I'll have to possess the nun?"
Levi recalled the hint given by the Earl Silver Mountain.
After evening prayers, the nuns returned to their respective dormitories.
Only one nun did not return; instead, she secretly slipped out of the church.
She was expressionless, muttering meaninglessly.
Under the moonlight, the nun began to run, and she ran faster and faster.
The speed was beyond the limits of ordinary people; the nun's body had begun to crack. An ordinary human body simply could not run at such a speed.
The nun charged straight toward the Great Knight.
The heavy-armored Great Knight sneered, "So you're here after all. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Wisps of Black Qi emanated from his armor, dancing wildly in the darkness.
The nun appeared behind the Great Knight like a ghost.
The Great Knight turned around and swung his greatsword forward.
The nun let out a silent wail.
A captivating power swept across the entire venue.
The Great Knight's figure visibly paused.
He seemed to be struggling, but after killing so many people, the nun's strength was much greater than before, and the Great Knight struggled for a moment before falling into a brief state of distraction.
From a distance, Levi saw the nun's long tongue, like a tentacle, extend from her mouth and penetrate the Great Knight's mouth...
The next moment, a phantom shadow appeared.
That is the soul of the Great Knight!
"What a powerful mental attack!"
Levi had already rushed up at this moment.
This is the best time to deal with the Soul-Stealing Nun.
The Soul-Stealing Nun seemed to notice Levi's arrival.
Her head suddenly turned 180 degrees.
He wanted to wail at Levi.
The Echo of Gold Levi Weijin has been unsheathed.
The greatsword was plunged into the Soul-Stealing Nun's mouth.
"I'll teach you to scream!"
A surge of Black Qi poured in simultaneously! Boom! Accompanied by this surge of Black Qi...
The nun's head exploded.
Blood splattered everywhere.
The Soul-Stealing Nun had been hiding inside, was now fully revealed to Levi.
At the same time, the soul of the Great Knight who was exposed is about to vanish into thin air.
Levi was surrounded by Black Qi, which solidified into form.
"Black Scale!"
One by one, gaseous scales began to cover Levi's body.
Layer upon layer, the clang of metal on metal! The nun's long tongue attacked, striking Levi's chest.
It felt like hitting a metal plate.
Levi formed his right hand into a claw and seized the Soul-Stealing Nun's tongue.
At the same time, he released the Lamp Spirit.
"Tutan, collect the soul of that Great Knight."
Levi said coldly.
Upon seeing Tutan, Tutankhamun excitedly ran over.
It devoured the Great Knight's soul before it vanished into thin air.
Tutan's spirit form also solidified a bit.
The soul of this Great Knight was merely an unexpected bonus.
Levi had the Demon Shark and the Demon Mountain carry the Great Knight's corpse, while he himself grabbed the Soul-Stealing Nun's tongue, ignoring the Soul-Stealing Nun's demonic claw attacks.
Carrying the Evil Spirit, they quickly ran to the wilderness.
Near the church, Levi couldn't use his true strength and trump cards.
On the wilderness.
Levi descended from the sky.
He landed with a thud, his Black Scale already shattered by the ghostly claws.
However, the ghost claw lost its power when it touched the Golden Thread Garment.
Levi stretched his limbs, grinning maliciously as he looked at the Soul-Stealing Nun.
"Now, let me see your strength."
Levi's Black Qi hand ripped off the Soul-Stealing Nun's tongue and then grabbed Soul-Stealing Nun arm.
It swung back and forth in mid-air.
The Soul-Stealing Nun's lips moved slightly, and Levi knew she was probably about to launch that soul-stealing attack again.
He unleashed the Dragon Might Seal directly! Boom! The Dragon Might descended!
The Soul-Stealing Nun's attack was interrupted by the tremor of the Dragon Might's might.
Not only that, her figure also became somewhat pale.
That's it?
Levi continued his relentless assault.
One after another, the Dragon Might Seal poured forth.
The figure of the Soul-Stealing Nun continued to fade.
Her most powerful soul-stealing attack was completely ineffective against Levi.
Other attacks are just so-so, only slightly stronger than those of other Evil Spirit.
It was impossible to break through the Gaseous Black Scale and the Golden Thread Garment beneath Levi's Ninth-Order Black Serpent.
This is what makes the Black Snake so powerful!
Finally, after losing interest in the Evil Spirit, Levi unleashed the Dragon Might Seal more than a dozen times in a row.
The Evil Spirit spirit's spirit was smashed to pieces.
A massive, Black Qi hand grabbed him.
Levi instructed Demon Shark and Demon Mountain to wait for him in the wilderness with the corpse of the Great Knight.
He himself grabbed the Soul-Stealing Nun and headed towards Silver Mountain Stronghold.
Levi only now realized that, without realizing it, by lying low and biding his time, he had already become capable of easily defeating the Evil Spirit that everyone feared...
