"Again?"
Aaron raised a hand, about to snap his fingers and summon the ultimate Furnace Fire.
But then he remembered that this was a shelter. If he unleashed his full power, the strange entity might be fine, but the entire shelter would likely be destroyed.
"Looking at it this way, Ayi Fa was quite farsighted to give me talismans to suppress strange entities beforehand... Divination? No, it was probably just preparing for a rainy day?"
Aaron took out a talisman made from a green banyan leaf.
With his knowledge of mysticism, he could naturally identify the talisman's purpose and how to use it with ease.
"Pretty enough, but what a pity you can't speak human language..."
Aaron glanced at the girl in red, pressed a talisman against the bluish-black mark on his palm, and crushed the leaf.
Sizzle, sizzle!
An invisible force surged forth, carrying the effects of ritual magic as it gathered over the strange mark.
"Hm? It seems this world's research into strange entities truly surpasses mine by quite a bit..."
"They've even made talismans like miracle drugs?"
Aaron stared at his palm and saw the bluish-black mark gradually turning gray.
At the same time, the girl in red across from him gradually faded away, dispersing...
This proved that Grandmother Green Banyan's talismans were indeed highly effective at restraining strange entities!
"Only... their duration is rather weak."
Seeing that the mark had stopped fading, and that woman's lips beginning to open and close again, Aaron shook his head and used a second talisman.
This time, the mark faded noticeably more slowly...
Then came the third.
When the final green-leaf talisman dissolved into specks of jade-green light, the mark on Aaron's hand had become light gray.
Then he discovered that the girl in red had vanished without a trace
