Chapter 46: Adding more fire to the fire.
Chapter 46 Adding a Fire, and Then Another
Saul waved his hand, trying to peel the hardback away.
He wasn’t in the mood to see any more changes to the mask in his hand right now, he had to keep an eye on the infighting between Evil Spirit and Peggy.
Because of the failure of Peggy’s baneful plan, the Evil Spirit should have already realized something, so the two of them fought for the right to operate the body.
He couldn’t let the two enemies reconcile, he had to add more fire to the fire.
“Hokage! What to do? The evil spirit didn’t fall for it! Is there any way you can lure it to this mask again, I promise I’ll catch it this time!”
Peggy, one eye with its whites having turned all black and the other fairly normal eye with a full red bloodshot eye, turned to Sol alone.
“You asshole, I underestimated you!”
Saul didn’t give Peggy a chance to speak next, tugging on his mask and standing up, making aiming gestures from time to time.
“Sister, you quickly force the evil spirit out, once it comes out, I guarantee that I can give it a net, vomit …… smoked it!”
“Ah ！！！！” Peggy’s other eye was also dyed an inky color, her expression became more and more painful, and she had no more time to pay attention to Saul.
She pressed her hands on her eyes as if she wanted to gouge them out, but in the end, she could only tug on her eyelids.
“Tear-“
Saul couldn’t help but cringe a bit as well, nearly unable to maintain his acting skills.
“Hokage, force it out!”
Peggy suddenly, as if enlightened, topped off her face full of blood and twisted her head to hiss at Saul, “Give me that mask! Hurry, or I’ll kill you!”
“Okay,” Saul responded immediately, throwing the object in his hand, “Catch it, schoolteacher!”
Peggy’s vision was now distorted, only to see Saul throw something over.
“Count on this guy being sensible, we can give him a quicker death later.”
She reached for it and squeezed a piece of leather that was rough to the touch and also much larger than the mask.
“Is this my skin?”
A fleeting moment of doubt swung through Peggy’s mind.
“Quickly, schoolteacher! That mask has changed incredibly after being possessed by an evil spirit!”
Listening to Saul’s urging, Peggy, whose brain had already been churned into a puddle, didn’t have time to think too much and hurriedly glued the piece of leather onto her face.
But as soon as the leather was on her face, Peggy realized that something was wrong.
The evil spirits had no intention of being smoked away, instead they screamed and burrowed into her brain.
“AHHHH!!!”
“Uh ！！！！”
“Yeh ！！！！”
Peggy’s voice shifted between shrill and low.
She knew she’d fallen for it again; the leather was definitely not the skin on her leg.
Moreover, the leather seemed to have some sort of enclosing, covering properties, and after she put the leather over her face, she realized that the evil spirit, which had the will to leave her body, had immediately shrunk back!
“Mixed!!! De ！！！！！”
Her vocal cords had also been torn, and her voice couldn’t even be pronounced clearly.
Peggy gave up the fight for her head and found control of her hands, trying to remove the leather from her face.
Who knew that at this time, Saul, who had been watching from afar, immediately made a flying leap and pressed Peggy to the ground, covering Peggy’s face with both hands in a deadly manner, not letting the piece of yellowish leather leave Peggy’s skin.
Yes, that piece of yellowish leather is exactly what Kongsha lent to Saul to use to collect the corpse’s breath.
Saul just had the bright idea to use it to shake Peggy, and he didn’t expect the effect to be good.
In short, the evil spirit could not be allowed to come out of Peggy’s body.
As long as neither of you come out, feel free to fight.
“Ummm…”
Peggy had completely given up on the Evil Spirit that was messing around inside her body, and the thing she hated the most right now was Saul.
She stretched out her stern hands and desperately tried to scratch Saul’s face, while her feet kept stomping on the ground, trying to lift Saul off her body.
However, the evil spirit inside her body kept dragging her down, making it impossible for her to use her full strength.
Little by little, time passed, and Peggy’s struggles became smaller and smaller until there was no movement.
Saul didn’t let go of Peggy immediately, but continued to press for what could be ten minutes.
He felt that Peggy’s face was probably flattened by his pressure.
Saul then mouthed an incantation and slowly freed one hand to make a gesture. When he was ready, he violently lifted the yellowish leather and unleashed a blow of Necrotic on Peggy’s face!
Peggy’s body shakes a little, and there is no other reaction.
Her face is blue, her mouth wide open, and she has deep finger marks all over her face and neck.
It’s not clear if she was killed by the evil spirit or strangled by Saul.
But if it wasn’t for Peggy and the Necromancer’s internal conflict with each other, Saul wouldn’t have half a chance of killing her.
Saul didn’t dare to relax, and continued to unleash strikes against the dead spirit at Peggy’s face again.
Two sorceries were his current limit.
Saul gasped and rose from Peggy’s body.
“…… Hmm?”
A soft grunt sounded behind him, and Saul was startled, turning around sharply.
Senior Byron, who hadn’t appeared for a long time, stood in the doorway and was looking at the interior somewhat blankly.
“Senior?” Saul’s entire body was dislocated and there was very little magic power left, so he could only stand in place, his chest heaving and his hands trembling.
Byron strides in, closes the door behind him with his back hand, comes to Saul’s side, picks up Saul’s arm and pulls the man behind himself.
His mouth puffed out in a steady stream of short but inaudible scales before pointing at Peggy on the floor.
The latter, however, suddenly leapt up from the ground, opened her mouth wide, and was about to rush at Byron when she was struck by a black line emanating from his fingertips.
Peggy’s body and soul wailed at the same time.
Her hideous appearance rapidly decayed, and halfway through, she collapsed on the ground, turning into a dry corpse.
But despite this, she or rather the evil spirit in her also sent out an attack at the last minute.
The blistering wind that swung from both hands was like a knife, cutting a wound deep into Byron’s body.
He was instantly dyed in blood all over his body.
But that was all, Peggy’s decaying body could no longer move, and the black shadow transformed by the evil spirit also disappeared and collapsed, leaving only a wisp of black smoke.
Saul shook his hand, took out the shock mask he had just obtained, forced himself to endure the nausea, and put it on his face to observe.
Just now he saw Peggy die, although he made up two strikes against the dead spirit, but still careless, if not Byron senior saw the evil spirit thrown in, he might still be hard to escape.
Now Saul didn’t see the black shadow anywhere.
Schoolmaster Byron’s final blow finally eliminated all hidden dangers.
Before he could not hold himself back from throwing up, Saul hastily put away his mask and wrapped it in yellowish leather that could dissipate his breath.
And the wounds on Byron’s body were gradually healing.
A second level apprentice was so powerful.
But even as powerful as Senior Byron was, he still couldn’t become a third level apprentice before the age of thirty.
Saul’s heart sank, clearly realizing how difficult it was to become a wizard.
But he didn’t sulk for too long, walking over and asking as if in an afterthought, “Senior, what brings you here?”
Byron turned back and looked at Saul with incomparably complicated eyes.
He opened his mouth to speak.
No, it was the wounds on his body that spoke.
The cavities chirped incessantly, as if many were speaking at once.
“I saw your note, but it was a critical time for me to advance to the third level, which is why I came to you today.”
“Senior, you’re a third level apprentice?” Sol’s mouth grinned, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth.
He was genuinely happy for Byron.
“Not yet, but it shouldn’t be a problem to complete the promotion within this month. Without going into that, why are you here? This isn’t a fight you should be involved in.”
Saul smiled bitterly, “I was forced to join in this hilarity as well.”
He briefly talked about the whole process of this design and counter-killing.
“You …… are really out of my expectation. Maybe just now, even if I didn’t make a move, you could have taken care of that seriously injured evil spirit.”
Byron’s voice began to fade as the wounds on his body were about to heal.
He looked at the inhumanly shaped Peggy on the ground and shook his head, “In the first place, I still found Peggy to take over to take over my job, but I didn’t expect her to die after only ten days of work.”
Saul’s heart tightened, “Senior, quite close to her?”
Byron shook his head, “Between apprentices, there is only an exchange of benefits. I don’t have much of a relationship with her, but it’s Saul …… who I owe you.”
