Whooo!
The long-handled scythe howled like the wail of the dead, brimming with death.
Death was merciless.
Death was swift.
No one could evade death's slash.
Unless...
They were already dead.
Whoosh!
Smoke billowed out, covering the Lady of the Long Night from head to toe in gray. Her short golden hair and azure eyes lost all their luster, and her rosy cheeks turned ashen.
Death seemed to have already visited this lady!
The phantom's long-handled scythe paused briefly.
After that brief pause, it was about to swing down again.
But that pause was enough.
The Lady of the Long Night had already slipped a pair of gloves onto the young Medium's hands.
At once, the presence behind the young Medium dispersed on the wind.
Without a sound, everything returned to normal.
Watching this, Malinda let out a small sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Arthur had warned her that after sustained suppression and depletion, the backlash might run rampant!
Otherwise, she could very well have suffered a serious setback.

Otherwise, even his repeated warnings along the way would have been a drop in the bucket.
They might even have backfired.
"Heh, are you talking about me?"
"Or these gloves?"
Malinda asked with her pipe between her lips.
Arthur did not even lift his head as he carefully examined the leather gloves on his hands, but he answered without hesitation.
"You, of course!"
Meanwhile, information about the gloves had appeared before Arthur's eyes-
