Slash Ghost and Wearer Ghost

Inside the tower.

The bubble that floated up from the basement.

Inside was a creature about two meters tall, but whose entire body was on all fours, lying prone on the ground.

A creature that could be considered insignificant on the Dark Continent.

The Wearer Ghost entered the empty bubble in the middle, leaving the human body inside.

Inside the bubble that floated up from the underground, the creature's body opened its eyes and leaped out of the bubble.

The Wearer Ghost completed the exchange, changing into a different "clothes".

Kevin watched the process unfold.

I didn't understand anything.

How exactly did the exchange occur?

I didn't understand because there was no exchange process in between.

One body closed its eyes, and the other body opened its eyes.

The consciousness was thus transferred.

There was no communication between the two, at least not Kevin noticed.

There are many possibilities, but now is clearly not the time to speculate.

This body leaped out of the bubble.

It is a four-legged animal with matte, metallic gray-white skin, and a tuft of fur running from the top of its head down its spine to its tail.

Its lower limbs are bent backwards when it squats on the ground, and it also has hooves.

Its upper limbs resembled those of Gorilla, with its fists clenched and supporting it on the ground.

Its head looks completely different from that of an ape, and instead resembles the pointed snout of a canine.

With a push of his back foot, his entire body leaped directly out of the tower.

Kevin quickly followed him out.

He looked directly in the direction where the blood energy was soaring into the sky.

That place is behind the main building of the Manor, near the back wall.

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar, a large hole was blasted through the wall, and a figure reeking of blood burst out.

It was incredibly fast, like a streak of red light leaving a trail in the air.

Wearer Ghost Blade, he leaped directly over and collided with the opponent.

"When!"

A very crisp, metallic tone.

The two figures collided and became locked in a stalemate.

The fact that they had stopped allowed Kevin to see their faces more clearly.

Humans?

Just like the Wearer Ghost said.

The creature that emerged, carrying the stench of blood, was a human, about two meters tall, casually dressed in clothing made of animal hides and woven grass.

His figure looked tall and thin, or rather, too thin.

It looks like it's starting to get a little creepy.

He held two Tachi in his arms, weapons used by humans.

Slash Ghost?

Kevin immediately realized the human's identity.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be the enemy that the Wearer Ghost mentioned was imprisoned by him.

At that moment, Slash Ghost's twin swords struck the arm of Wearer Ghost, whose matte gray-white skin, like steel, blocked Slash Ghost's attack.

The stalemate between the two sides intensified, and large cracks appeared in the ground.

In this situation, the Wearer Ghost also glanced at the large cracks in the ground.

He seemed somewhat heartbroken.

This is his home.

The other hand suddenly slapped down from the side.

The exaggerated force of the impact created a vacuum in the surrounding area.

The ensuing buzzing sound sent Slash Ghost flying from the side, transforming him into a streak of Flowing Light as he flew off the cliff.

The Wearer Ghost leaped and followed.

The force of the jump was so great that it didn't even break the cracked ground.

He was clearly trying to control his power and influence within the family.

Kevin glanced at it, then followed with the Three-Tails.

This was a rare opportunity, and he certainly couldn't miss it.

A continuous rumbling sound echoed from the distant cliffs.

Two figures moved like Flowing Light, sometimes carving a crater in the cliff face, sometimes slicing cracks in the mountain wall.

The battle between the two sides became increasingly exaggerated.

Overall, however, the Wearer Ghost was in a dominant position, and he was the one pressing the Slash Ghost one.

Kevin suspects that the Slash Ghost is actually a member of the same race as the Wearer Ghost.

However, even though the Slash Ghost fought using a human body, there was no damage to its body.

The human body isn't that resilient.

Kevin was just thinking that.

The Wearer Ghost broke the Slash Ghost, leaving the arm hanging limply in an irregular position.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he pinned the other person down with his massive arms, breaking their other arm as well, and then snapped their legs.

They casually dug two huge rocks out of the ground, pressed the other person's body together, leaving only their head sticking out.

He extended a finger, dipped it in the blood that Slash Ghost had just spat out, and wrote a strange character on both sides of the boulder.

After doing all that.

The Wearer Ghost stopped, gripped the boulder in one hand, and leaped a few times to Kevin's side.

"This is such a hassle, can't you just be quiet for a second?"

This is clearly not the first time something like this has happened.

Wearer Ghost, watching as Slash Ghost.

However, Slash Ghost Guili ignored him completely, instead looking at Kevin with his head tilted to one side.

It seems they are observing each other.

"Hey! Human, why do you look so powerful?"

Just like the previous Wearer Ghost, Slash Ghost was somewhat surprised to find such a powerful human.

"Because I tried my best."

Kevin looked at the other person and casually made up a remark.

"Is this the Slash Ghost you were talking about?" Kevin asked, looking at the Wearer Ghost.

The Wearer Ghost nodded.

However, the words he spoke did not come from the mouth of this body, but rather from mental waves.

Clearly, the body he's currently using isn't very capable of mimicking the tone of human speech.

"Human, why are you siding with him?"

Suddenly, Slash Ghost asked.

Upon hearing this question, Kevin gave the other person a strange look.

How did you come to this conclusion?

"You're so capable, yet you didn't kill him. Doesn't that mean you're on his side?"

What kind of talk is that?

"I'm sorry, I might not understand your way of thinking."

"What? Aren't you human? Aren't I just speaking in a human way?"

As expected, they are the same kind as the Wearer Ghost human bodies; they can use human bodies and understand human thought processes.

But because there was no one to communicate with, or rather, only the Wearer Ghost could communicate with them, the methods were somewhat strange.

"Then why should I attack him? He didn't attack me; he's always been friendly."

"Are humans the kind of creatures that attack for no reason?"

Could it be that the body of the Slash Ghost is to blame, influencing the other party's thoughts and way of thinking?

"He's using the bodies of your own kind, and he's hiding several of them. Shouldn't he be an enemy of you humans?"

Upon hearing this, Kevin nodded, indicating that he could roughly understand the other person's way of thinking.

From this perspective, there is certainly no problem.

"I don't know how he got a human body. Besides, this is the Dark Continent. Even if he intentionally harmed humans and then took over their bodies, wouldn't that be normal?"

This is the Dark Continent, and the Wearer Ghost is a Lord.

Whether it's humans entering someone else's territory and being attacked, or Wearer Ghost just happen to encounter humans and launch an attack.

This is perfectly normal.

If you're going to blame the other party for even this, then you shouldn't be living in the Dark Continent.

This is a risk that must be taken when coming to the Dark Continent.

In the Dark Continent, humanity is not the master, but a loser.

This place believes in the law of the jungle; it's a pure wilderness.

It is impossible to eliminate harmful organisms like in human society; even in human society, humans cannot do such a thing.

Every year, countless humans die because of various Demonic Beast, beasts, and other monsters.

And we haven't seen humans eliminate these creatures.

Moreover, the Wearer Ghost is at least a being that can communicate. If there is something to communicate, there is room for negotiation and discussion.

They are so much better than wild beasts that only know how to attack.

Moreover, Slash Ghost's way of speaking, which sows discord, is incredibly blunt, just like a child's.

"Idiot, you're being affected by your body, what a disgrace."

The Wearer Ghost in psychic energy, was able to express his tone and emotions more effectively than his previous human body.

At this moment, he showed extremely obvious disdain for Slash Ghost, and also a hint of disappointment.

"Their deceptive tactics are so simplistic."

That's so embarrassing.

Using a human body, yet so clumsy at even the most basic act of lying.

Listening to their conversation, Kevin smiled to himself.

However, the Wearer Ghost still looked at Kevin and explained.

"I didn't kill three of these four humans; I only killed one because he offended me."

Kevin listened and nodded.

It would be abnormal for humans not to do stupid things.

Not everyone has a sense of awe.

Kevin, being human, knew this all too well; such reckless behavior was practically etched into the minds of many.

Those who dare to come to the Dark Continent are all driven by a death-defying spirit.

"This Slash Ghost is essentially your kin, isn't it?"

Kevin asked, more curious about the matter at hand.

"It used to be, but it's not anymore."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Kevin asked curiously.

"Because he can no longer change bodies, he's trapped inside a human body. So, you humans are really amazing."

There was a hint of lingering fear in his words.

Upon hearing this, Kevin understood that the harm that Wearer Ghost on humans would be limited to a certain extent.

They love the human body, but can also suffer fatal consequences from rashly wearing human clothing.

In this scenario, Wearer Ghost would not be a major catastrophe for humanity.

Moreover, those who can communicate are Lord and belong to the same system.

A very good partner.

"I love it this way! That's why this body won't break down, and I won't need to change bodies anymore. I'm human now!"

Slash Ghost laughed loudly, his smugness overflowing.

Kevin, watching this scene, couldn't help but nod.

In terms of pure physical usability, flexibility, and expression.

The Slash Ghost is far superior to the Wearer Ghost.

Their eyes, body language, and even tone of voice are almost identical to those of humans.

It doesn't have that stiff, rigid feeling you get Wearer Ghost.

Although Kevin could still sense the inhumanity from the other person, he felt even more of the other person's overwhelming bloodlust and bloodlust.

There wasn't much of a disharmonious, inhuman feeling.

This inhuman feeling is the basis for judging whether the other party is human. The less this inhuman feeling there is, the closer the Slash Ghost is to being human.

They are essentially insane humans, but they are certainly more human than non-humans.

Upon Wearer Ghost snorted, somewhat disdainful.

"Enough with the nonsense, just go back underground."

"Why can't you just let me go? We're the same kind of people, aren't we? You like humans so much, shouldn't you care about your fellow humans just like they do?"

Kevin scratched his head at the Slash Ghost.

Hmm~ Is this the kind of personality his body possesses?

Kevin understands the diversity of humanity; there are certainly many people who care deeply about their companions, and many in the Exploration Team are like that.

But not all humans are like that.

However, this also indirectly shows that Slash Ghost truly only possesses this one human body, and has completely integrated himself into it.

It was completely influenced by the original personality of this body.

The Wearer Ghost was clearly angry when it heard this, and punched the other person on the head.

With a cracking sound, the other person's head was smashed to the side.

A normal human being would be dead by now.

But the Slash Ghost is clearly unaffected.

Wearer Ghost, he scolded with exasperation, "You're a disgrace! Being influenced, changed, and forbidden by your body is utterly shameful!"

"Hey! According to human terms, I'm your mother! Is this how you talk to your mother?!" Slash Ghost was very dissatisfied.

Oh!

Kevin, listening nearby, couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.

Is there another layer of relationship like this?

However, it's really strange to be using a male human body while claiming to be a mother.

Kevin listened intently, afraid of missing a single word.

That's so funny.

Both sides have been influenced by human civilization, and their ways of speaking and the logic of communication are similar to those of humans.

In this situation, Kevin was perfectly able to understand.

This is an experience that is extremely rare in the Dark Continent.

"You are not human, and neither am I."

As he spoke Wearer Ghost, no longer wanting to communicate with the other party, carried the Rock and leaped towards his Manor.

Kevin quickly followed.

The two continued arguing the entire way.

We returned to the Manor.

The Wearer Ghost casually tossed the stone slab into the center, then re-entered the High Tower and took over the woman's body.

This indicates that Slash Ghost is indeed completely imprisoned and is safe for the time being.

Otherwise, given the Wearer Ghost's fondness for the last human body, it wouldn't have changed into it at this point.

"Hey! Didn't I tell you you weren't allowed to use this body, you damn bastard!"

Upon seeing this body, Slash Ghost immediately reacted and began to curse wildly.

However, it seems that the original personality of this body wasn't the type to swear.

"There's nothing we can do about it; this is the last body that hasn't been eroded by time."

"What?! You'd better keep it safe! You submitted to that damned Giant Bird, didn't you? Why aren't you keeping it safe?"

"Quickly replace this body and protect it, do you hear me!"

Slash Ghost was truly provoked.

He kept talking, and he was very emotional.

Kevin squatted down beside them, his eyes constantly shifting between the two, rubbing his chin, trying to figure out the relationship between them.

That's so complicated.

While he was still pondering, Slash Ghost suddenly looked at him.

"Aren't you human too? Quickly find a human body for me."

Upon hearing this, Kevin rolled his eyes at him.

I wonder who was just talking about human companions a moment ago, and now they've already forgotten all about it.

Sorry, I'm all alone.

"Stop lying to me! Do you think I'm stupid?"

Slash Ghost cursed loudly, his emotions running high.

They're only slightly influenced by humans, not complete idiots. Kevin thought for a moment and then rephrased his statement.

Those were all my companions.

Upon hearing the word "companion, "Slash Ghost was completely speechless, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Judging from his expression, Kevin was genuinely afraid he'd suffocate.

He probably fully understood the personality traits inherent in this body.

A passionate young man who cherishes his comrades, but why does he possess such a frenzied bloodlust and lust for killing?

"Shut up, I don't want just any body."

The Wearer Ghost, dressed in a woman's body, began to speak, its voice becoming calm and still.

Looking at the two of them, Kevin had so many questions he wanted to ask.

My curiosity has reached an uncontrollable level.
