163. Seal

What happened now?

Why is this happening?

The heart of the Silent Forest.

The group of people affected by the Bidi looked somewhat bewildered, as if they were stuck in a classic philosophical state of confusion, wondering, "Who am I?", "Where am I?", and "What am I supposed to do?"

On the contrary, the only girl, Jenny, was able to barely observe some of the situation.

"This scene... is like... a violent robber breaking into a house and fighting with the owner?"

For some reason, looking at the Ancient Mansion with its constant crackling sounds and the crumbling buildings, she had this kind of association.

"Ahh!"

Suddenly, the entire Ancient Mansion shook and emitted a human-like shout.

Sizzle!

The wooden walls were cracked, and black, foul-smelling blood even seeped out from the cracks.

This entire Ancient Mansion is practically the Avatar some evil spirit!

"Judging from this situation... could it be that Evil Spirit Knight won?"

Sulu's right hand conjured Spirit Chain, while his left hand reached into his robes and gripped something tightly.

The next moment.

Sizzle!

A crescent-shaped blade of light shattered one wall of the Ancient Mansion, and a black-clad knight riding Skeleton Horse charged out.

It looked utterly disheveled, its black cloak torn in several places, and its Skeleton Horse missing several bones, emitting a mournful whinny.

A gentle breeze seemed to lift a corner of the cloak, allowing Sulu to see the Evil Spirit Knight's face—a skull completely devoid of flesh and blood, with raging flames burning in its eye sockets— Filthy Spirit Flame from the Abyss!

Just as their eyes met, Sulu felt a pang of unease.

If you look at the Attribute Panel, you'll probably see another "[Evil Spirit Knight's Curse]" added to the status list.

That is indeed the case.

The next moment, he felt his body temperature rise rapidly, as if it wanted to burst into flames.

"Spirit Pressure!"

Sulu snorted coldly, using his Spirit Pressure to suppress the burning sensation throughout his body. Suddenly, his Soul Projection and entered the second layer of the Mind World.

That thing on the other side is merely a projection of the material world; its true form resides in the Spirit World.

Only a high-ranking Spirit World could harm the Demon Ancient Mansion!

Boom!

As soon as he entered the Mind World, Sulu felt an overwhelming pressure wash over him.

The overwhelming pressure from that superior position almost caused him to lose his composure, leaving him completely immobile and at the mercy of the enemy.

"Spirit Chain!"

At this moment, he forced himself to calm down and waved his right hand.

The Spirit Chain formed a spiderweb, Expansion in all directions, marking the most dangerous spirit capture since he became a [Medium]!

Bang!

Almost the instant the Spirit Chain took shape, Sulu felt a colossal creature crash into his 'net'.

No!

The difference was like a sparrow caught in a spider's web, or a shark caught with an ordinary fishing rod!

If the opponent struggles even for a second, they will break free completely. At that point, even if Sulu is a third-tier [Thaumaturge], he will have no hope of survival!

"That's enough! Seal it!"

Just then, after confirming that the other party was the real person, Sulu revealed a triumphant smile and quickly threw out a card with his left hand.

It was a strange silver medal, blank on the front and with a mysterious the Vortex on the back.

The Sealing Card!

From the ancient ruins of the Chris Empire, crafted by a high-ranking [Medium] professional, this Sealing Card specifically designed to seal away Cursed Spirit!

This was Sulu's final insurance policy for the operation!

With the incantation, a terrifying the Vortex spun on the back of the silver medal and landed on Evil Spirit Knight.

Whew!

Within the Spirit World, a massive the Vortex appeared.

Even though Evil Spirit Knight broke free of the Spirit Chain, he couldn't escape in time. He was swallowed by the Vortex, his body twisted, and he was slowly drawn into the core.

Finally, the Vortex completely disappeared into the silver card, and all the anomalies vanished.

The Sealing Card fell down, revealing a Evil Spirit Knight riding Skeleton Horse and wearing a black cloak on its front!

"It's a success!"

Sulu took a deep breath, put away the Sealing Card, and his spirit returned to reality.

Outside the Ancient Mansion.

"Look... why did that person suddenly collapse and roll their eyes? Is he sick?"

Jenny pointed at Sulu's body.

Bidi stepped forward, intending to pick up a twig to poke it, when he noticed that Sulu had suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ah!"

He was so startled that he fell backward to the ground, stammering, "Sir... you're awake?"

Because of his fear, he unconsciously used honorifics.

Yes... haha... haha...

Sulu stood up and suddenly burst into wild laughter.

This terrified his friends even more, who thought he had mental problems.

'Thankfully... this adventure was a success!'

As for these ordinary people, Sulu didn't take them seriously.

He had just Soul Projection, but finished the fight and returned in just a few seconds; they didn't even have time to react.

"Overall, the plan was a success! But... sealing away the Evil Spirit Knight didn't even give us any experience points?"

Sulu scratched his head and sighed, "It seems... just as I guessed, to gain experience, one must destroy or even annihilate the true spirit?"

He stared at the Sealing Card in his hand.

This Curio is of a very high rank, capable of traveling between the Spirit World and reality; at this moment, its front has been occupied by Evil Spirit Knight.

"I wonder what use this card is?"

This Sealing Card is his last line of defense against Evil Spirit Knight.

At this moment, Sulu arrived at the edge of the Ancient Mansion and carefully examined the damaged Ancient Mansion.

Although the main structure of the Demon Ancient Mansion seemed to have been destroyed by the combined force of a tornado and an earthquake, half of it still stood stubbornly.

Even more terrifying, black blood was trickling out from its cracked door panel.

Through the portal created by Evil Spirit Knight, Sulu can see directly into the living room.

There, all the portraits that had been hanging there had vanished, leaving only charred marks in their place, as if they had been burned by fire.

"Was the final outcome that the Demon Ancient Mansion paid a heavy price to banish Evil Spirit Knight?"

"Actually... Evil Spirit Knight was already severely injured, otherwise even with the Sealing Card, I might not have been able to seal it..."

Being a fisherman isn't easy either. For example, this time, if Sulu didn't have any trump cards up his sleeve, no matter which terrorist won, his final fate would probably not be good.

As for why the Sealing Card weren't used on the Demon Ancient Mansion from the beginning?

That's because there's only one Sealing Card, and it only works on spirits.

If the Demon Ancient Mansion isn't Evil Spirit, but rather a Curio or even a creature, then Sulu is completely baffled.

The Evil Spirit that manifested last time was probably not the main body of the Demon Ancient Mansion, but just a possessing spirit it controlled; the kind where if you destroy one, there's always a replacement.

If they really used up all their trump cards on that, Sulu would be furious.
