Huo Ling sighed softly, then cast a spell to dispose of the severed portion of the Void Wraith.
As the void power was purged, those fragments of the soul were finally freed.
The soul fragments scattered apart, becoming useless soul power, while specks of light drifted into Huo Ling's body.
Seeing this, Huo Ling felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
These were shattered spiritual essences. If the spiritual essence of an ordinary goblin was one, then these broken essences might amount to only one percent, or even less.
Yet though they were few, their quality was remarkably high.
Perhaps this was related to the strength of this Void Wraith. Within its body, these spiritual essences might have been devouring one another.
Thus, killing these Void Wraiths was not entirely without gain for Huo Ling. He could increase some potential points.
At least this trip had not been in vain, nor had killing these ghostly things.
Next, Huo Ling began studying the other three portions of this Void Wraith.
First, he tested what effects various attacks would have when they struck a Void Wraith.
He started with elemental spells. Attacks of earth, wind, water, and fire had even worse effects on Void Wraiths than expected.
It could be said that they caused virtually no damage at all—thunderous noise, but only a few drops of rain.
Holy and void spells had some effect on the wraiths, but the results were not particularly obvious either.
There was even less need to mention physical attacks. Huo Ling slashed with his sword, and it passed straight through the Void Wraith's body without producing the slightest effect.
In the end, just as Nustien had said, only attacks that struck directly at the soul could inflict equivalent damage upon Void Wraiths.
This alone would deter many powerful experts from coming
