Combat experience

Camus's ears rang as he loaded the Purification Bullet into the Pistol cylinder, a sharp buzzing sound ringing in his mind.

Before his eyes, the world seemed to be detached, separated from him by a transparent glass. Under the shrieks of the Wraith, cracks appeared on this glass, seemingly extending into the Spirit Body.

The faint cracking sound echoed indiscriminately among Lumian, Riya, Lugano, Amandina, Robert who had just crawled out of the Underground near the Altar, and the other naked men who were frantically trying to escape, bringing a stinging pain to their eardrums, blood from their noses, and a pain that came from the Depths their souls.

Almost everyone froze in place, like fragile porcelain being inspected by an invisible Storm.

Among them, the naked men who seemed to be Ordinary Person fainted without uttering a sound. Blood trickled Past their eyes, nostrils, mouths, ears, and skin. Lumian, who had advanced to Sequence 5 "Reaper" and had the highest soul strength, suffered the least damage and recovered the fastest.

What came into his view was a barrage of thin, icy arrows flying toward him, their arrowheads gleaming with a cold light.

In a flash, Lumian made his decision.

He neither transformed into Shadow Creature and entered the shadows to avoid the damage, nor did he make any dodging movements.

Suddenly, Blazing White Flames erupted from his body.

He transformed into a fiercely Burning, Blazing White Spear, and hurled it Past the Stained-Glass Window closer to the gate, amidst the icy arrows.

Priest Kali, with his dark Deep Brown skin and sinister expression, was located there.

The second to recover from the "Wraith Scream" was Amandina, who just happened to see the magnificent Blazing White Flame Spear collide with the ice crystal arrows that were being fired at their area.

Silently, the ice crystal arrows directly facing the Blazing White Flame Spear instantly evaporated into hissing white vapor, while those distributed around them rapidly melted and evaporated.

White mist from water Steam filled the air. Although the Blazing White Flame Spear had dimmed considerably and was no longer Burning fiercely, it still pierced through and headed straight for the Stained Glass that revealed Priest Kali's figure.

Similarly, some of the ice crystal arrows also pierced through the white mist and reached Amandina, Camus, Riya, and Lugano, but their arrowheads either melted and became very blunt, or they shrank considerably and their speed decreased.

Having just escaped the "Wraith Scream," Amandina and Camus dodged relatively easily. Riya and Lugano, though caught off guard and struck by the ice crystal arrows, only felt a slight pain, like being hit by ice beads from a child. It hurt a little, but the main sensation was a wet, icy feeling.

They took the opportunity to regain their senses, almost simultaneously with Robert at the Altar.

Snap!

The Blazing White Flame Spear struck the Stained Glass, causing it to shatter and collapse, but Priest Kali had already leaped onto the Stained Glass that Lumian had pried open.

As the flames from the Blazing White Spear dissipated, Lumian's figure was revealed.

Without pausing, he ignited a Blazing White Flames once more, transforming it into a magnificent spear, which he hurled at the window that revealed Priest Kali.

He deliberately refrained from using "Teleportation," repeatedly transforming into Flame Spear to pursue the enemy, all to Paralysis Priest Kali a false sense of security and make him overlook the possibility. Then, at the crucial moment, he unexpectedly Flash beside the enemy and used the "Heng-Ha Art."

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to catch a "Wraith" that can keep jumping around on mirrored objects.

Moreover, as far as Lumian knew, "Wraith" were, to some extent, Spirit World Creature, and could also use the Spirit World to travel. Although they could not compare with Spirit World Creature that specialized in this, they were still not to be underestimated.

As the Fireball spear hurtled toward the window Lumian had pried open, Robert tumbled to the side of the Altar where their clothes were kept, intending to retrieve the materials used for "Spiritism."

Whoosh!

An Arrows struck the Stone Bricks in front of him, forcing him to change the direction of his roll prematurely.

As soon as Riya recovered, she immediately targeted Robert again and launched an attack.

Both she and Camus believed that Louis Berri could handle Priest Kali, so their mission was to distract Robert, capture this key figure, and prevent him from helping Priest Kali and interfering with the battle.

As the gunshot rang out, Priest Kali disappeared through the Stained-Glass Window.

Amandina was nearby, then saw the naked, depraved Priest.

Amandina tried to resist, but her body grew cold rapidly and gradually became unresponsive to her will.

With a crash, Lumian's Blazing White Flame Spear pierced through the Stained Glass and landed outside the Church, about three or four meters away from Amandina.

As the firelight faded, Lumian appeared, wearing Golden-yellow Straw Hat, a white shirt, and Black Waistcoat.

At this moment, Amandina's hands "automatically" rose, and a sinister, triumphant smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Come on!

Attack me!

Amandina will be the first to get injured and die, but if my body can no longer protect me, I can still jump and change position in time!

Priest Kali was somewhat wary of Amandina's ability to forcibly pull people into dreams, so this time he chose to possess her instead of Louis Berri, an enemy of a higher Sequence.

As Priest Kali manipulated Amandina's body, revealing a sinister and smug smile, he saw Louis Berri's lips also curl into a wide grin, returning the smile with a radiant one.

As a "Wraith," Priest Kali had a strong spiritual premonition, and he suddenly realized that something was extremely dangerous.

"Ha!"

A pale yellow light shot out from Lumian's laughing mouth and landed on Amandina, who was three or four meters away, enveloping Amandina's spirit and Priest Kali, who didn't have time to "Mirror Flash".

Frankly, for Lumian, this was an unexpected and enormous surprise:

You know to be wary of Nightmare and the power of pictures, but don't you know to guard against the "Heng-Ha Art"?

Oh, you really didn't know. You didn't know about this ability, nor did you know that I possessed it.

But as a Wraith, it could easily "Mirror Jump" repeatedly, yet it insisted on possessing one of my teammates, and without any distance, it stayed within a few meters of me. What kind of mentality is that?

Don't you have enough combat experience?

Even if you don't know the "Heng-Ha Art," you still have to be wary of abilities like "Mental Piercing"!

Oh, so you think Camus is too far away to worry about that, while I, Sequence 5 on the "Hunter" Pathway, wouldn't know anything about these things. You want to use me to quickly kill Amandina?

Don't you consider the existence of Mystical Item?

My original plan was that, once I found an opportunity, if using "Teleportation" followed by "Heng-Ha Art" and then "Harvest" failed to finish you off, I would feign retreat, find a small space to set up a "Fictional Bottle," and then wait for you to catch up. I would then fight you in that confined, sealed space, just like I did with Hisoka. Who knew you'd deliver yourself right to my doorstep...

As Lumian raged Past, Priest Kali and Amandina both fainted and collapsed to the ground.

If it were during his fight with Hisoka a while ago, Lumian would have been in a great hurry to follow up with the next steps, because the "Heng-Ha Art" couldn't keep Sequence 5 enemy unconscious for long. But now, with his own advancement to Sequence 5, his "Heng-Ha Art" has become much stronger, and the time he can control the "Wraith" has increased.

Of course, it's still limited to a few seconds.

Lumian removed the "Sea’s Wrath" and took out several specially made bullets from the "Traveler’s Bag," which the Patrol Team had bought from Camus.

Two "exorcism" charms and two "purification" charms, both Golden.

Lumian quickly loaded the four bullets into the cylinder of his Pistol and aimed at Amandina, who was lying on the ground.

Camus, startled by what he saw out of the corner of his eye, shouted, "What are you doing?"

"Save her," Lumian replied calmly.

Then he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The Golden Exorcism Bullet struck Amandina's shoulder, spraying blood and sending up a burst of golden Sunlight.

Amandina was jolted awake by the pain, and Priest Kali's phantom detached from her body, its face Distortion in the "Sunlight."

Normally, the intensity of the Exorcism Bullet wouldn't have been enough to expel the "Wraith" from the victim in one go, but Father Priest Kali was unconscious and unable to take effective action.

Lumian immediately raised the muzzle of his gun, his eyes reflecting the colors on the surface of Priest Kali's Spirit Body, locking onto the now distinctly Pale White.

Bang!

A golden Purification Bullet, imbued with the power of "Harvest," struck the forehead of the "Wraith."

Priest Kali's phantom image froze, "seeing" the bullet shatter on its own, transforming into clusters of holy Golden Flame that spread throughout his body, igniting the dust and his soul.

A bright, Sun -like Golden Flame quickly enveloped Priest Kali, causing him to let out a piercing scream.

This wasn't a "Wraith Scream," but it still made everyone present feel dizzy and their ears hurt.

Lumian suppressed these feelings and calmly said to Amandina, "Drag him into a dream and ask him about the Source of the ' Dream Festival '."

Priest Kali has been "Harvest" and is now severely weakened, on the verge of death. Amandina can control him perfectly well!

"But..." Amandina's shoulder and head ached, but seeing Louis Berri's indifferent and calm face, she dared not complain.

Lumian tilted his head and said to Lugano, "Treat her gunshot wound."

"Okay." Lugano grimaced slightly from the pain in his eardrums, but still ran over.

At this moment, Priest Kali, who had undergone Harvest- like purification, instinctively exited his "Wraith" state and reverted to human form in order to escape the continued harm.

Seeing this, Amandina took a breath, clenched her fists, and lowered her eyes.

She and Priest Kali entered a dream at the same time.
