Chapter 137: I’m out, I’m back in.

Chapter 137 – I came out, I went back again
Herman had been keeping an eye on Saul’s movements, and when he saw Saul suddenly approaching, he hastily terminated his healing and instantly moved to another henchman’s side.

The henchman couldn’t even think of escaping before being thrown over by Herman.

But Saul pushed away the apprentice who was thrown over with a slap and firmly walked towards Herman.

Herman once again moved quickly to another place. The other pieces in that neighborhood immediately fled in all directions at the sight.

Saul wasn’t in a hurry either, he just changed his angle and continued to approach as if he were taking a stroll.

Herman still wanted to run, but suddenly had a pain in his forehead and half-kneeled on the ground.

Just now, his spell casting was interrupted, his mental body was already injured, and coupled with several high-speed movements, his mental body was now shaken, and he couldn’t even continue casting spells.

Seeing this, Saul was not surprised.

He had just seen Herman’s spell casting being interrupted. One should know that the higher the level of sorcery, the more terrible the backlash of interrupted spell casting.

The spells Herman and the others cast in order to fight against the evil spirits must have all been 2nd order sorceries.

Although the injuries sustained from the interruption of spell casting could be cured through potions, the shock to the mental body was not so easy to calm down.

Saul gradually approached Herman, not at a fast pace.

Although he had temporarily taken back control of his body, he could not control it as freely as before.

It was as if there was a membrane between him and his body, and he couldn’t even clearly feel the five senses that his flesh sent back to his brain.

He was like a puppet on strings when walking, needing to use his consciousness to direct the actions of his hands and feet.

But that didn’t stop Saul from getting closer to Herman.

Even though Saul couldn’t walk fast enough, none of the men rushed to help keep Herman from escaping.

Everyone was watching Herman and Saul who was getting closer and closer to him.

Even the human-headed monsters quieted down, each one staring at the two with wide-eyed anticipation, their mouths watering with excitement.

Just as Saul walked up to Herman, the seemingly immobile Herman suddenly looked up, drew a rusty dagger from his arms, and stabbed at Saul.

Saul saw the dagger and knew that he would never be able to dodge it.

He didn’t maneuver his body to dodge it either, but suddenly shrunk, giving the command of his body back to the evil spirit that was about to overwhelm him.

Herman had expected the Evil Spirit to dodge or resist, but the other party did not move at all, and the dagger stabbed into the Evil Spirit’s chest without any obstruction.

“Pfft!”

A hint of joy flashed under Herman’s eyes, and he immediately forcefully mobilized his spiritual power once again, activating the formation on the rusty dagger.

The dagger violently popped out a green light, and the melee weapon turned long-range.

The green light flashed, and then the dagger briefly shattered and fell to the ground.

But it also left a hollow hole the size of a man’s head in the Evil Spirit’s chest.

Seeing this scene, Bill and Wright on the side were not as optimistic as Herman.

“The Evil Spirit doesn’t dodge, it’s not that he can’t dodge, it must be because he doesn’t need to dodge at all!” Thinking of this, Bill became even more scornful of the Evil Spirit and hurriedly urged Wright, “Hurry up.”

Wright didn’t respond and continued to lie on the ground, pretending to be badly injured and unconscious.

Unsurprisingly to the two, the Evil Spirit came forward again, the huge wound on his chest did not bring any hindrance to his movements.

But the evil spirit was angry.

He had just suddenly “dropped out”, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in front of Herman, who had stabbed him in the chest with a broken sorcery prop.

So the evil spirit immediately decided that he just confused consciousness is the person in front of the ghost!
He was so furious that he grabbed Herman’s hair and disliked his face towards his wound.

“Asshole! Do you know how hard it was for me to find such a good working body? How dare you hurt him?”

Herman was just about to force himself to escape again when a howl came from his ears once more.

The Evil Spirit lifted Herman’s head and directly pressed it against his ear and let out a mournful hiss.

Herman’s brain immediately let out a terrifying explosion. Then all the silver metal on his body all exploded and fell to the ground. And he himself immediately fainted.

The evil spirit’s other hand cupped on Herman’s face, and with a vicious pull, ripped out his face skin along with his vain white spirit body.

Herman’s spiritual body was still different from the other apprentices’, and he was still struggling and trying to attack the Evil Spirit even as he was ripped out.

The Evil Spirit laughed, not caring at all about Herman’s attack, and pressed his spirit into itself.

As the spirit of this powerful third level apprentice was absorbed, the wounds on the Evil Spirit’s chest surprisingly began to heal quickly as well.

The surrounding human-headed monsters began to cheer again as they shouted “Lord Morton is the most powerful!” “Lord Morton will never die!”

In such an enthusiastic atmosphere, no one noticed that the Evil Spirit’s eyes suddenly changed again!

Saul suddenly threw away Herman’s body and turned around with a slight lag in his movements, his pair of godless eyes locked onto Bill and Wright in the other direction.

He lifted his foot and slowly walked towards the two, completely ignoring the lower level apprentices closer to him.

The surrounding human-headed monsters saw Saul’s movements and immediately understood his intentions, contracting their defenses and leaving the two remaining third-level apprentices with no room to struggle.

They looked forward to it, they leaped, they loved to see this kind of scene where the strong were powerless and could only wait for death.

The other apprentices stayed as far away from the two as possible. Although they knew that Bill and Wright might be their last chance to save themselves, in front of such a huge gap in strength, no one still dared to lend a helping hand.

They were afraid that the slightest agitation would turn them into the next object for the evil spirits to devour.

At the same time, they also hoped that after devouring some of the people, the evil spirits would have enough to spare themselves.

There was a stark contrast between the bustle and the silence in this small area.

In the center of the area, Saul walked with a firm, stiff step towards the two Bills.

Bill and Wright were injured before they met the evil spirits, and at this point the two men fell to the ground, their eyes locked on the approaching Saul, seemingly having given up resistance.

However, just when Saul was less than 5 meters away from the two, there was a sudden noise in his ears.

Saul immediately stopped walking.

In the next second, with Wright as the center, the ground in a radius of five meters around him suddenly cracked and sank.

The two people in the center of the sorcery instantly fell along with the debris.

And Saul and the human-headed monsters who were at the edge of the sorcery boundary were not spared and fell down together.

Could a third level apprentice cause such great destruction?

During the descent, this thought instantly surfaced in Sol’s mind.

“This could be a higher-ranked sorcery. And the terrain here is also additive to this type of sorcery.”

“Can’t we really let them run away like this?”

Thinking of this, Saul instantly unloaded his power, returning the dominance of his consciousness to the evil spirits that were about to be overwhelmed.

The evil spirit once again took control of his body, and when he came to his senses, he saw himself lying on the sunken ground.

Sunlight shone down from the top of the pit, and was obstructed by the thick dust.

One by one, the human-headed monsters that had fallen into the ground with him climbed upwards in terror, only slightly hindered in their climb by their physical build.

Eventually the little guys faded into obscurity and disappeared.

Saul, who was hidden in the depths of his consciousness, clearly saw this scene, and immediately had a new idea.

But the Evil Spirit didn’t care about the situation of those human-headed monsters.

He could sense that in the crypt ahead, there were two little ones desperately trying to escape.

“Trying to escape from the underground?” A hideous smile showed on his face, “How foolish!”
