Chapter 208: Abolish The Soul Eater

The sky-reaching steel tree rose from the ground.

The Soul Eaters body was sealed within the solidified steel. The weight of the heavy steel column had pressed on the Soul Eater at the bottom.

Its over, senior. Annan reached out and held Salvatores headless shoulder, motioning him to end the terrifying taboo refinement technique immediately.

Annan didnt know what spell it was.

But just by looking at this special effect after chanting the spell, he understood it was a destructive skill that cost a heavy price.

After all, they came here to defend, not to demolish the place.

But Salvatore still hesitated. He was still chanting the spell in a low volume, not daring to move.

The demon-like shadow immediately realized what Annan meant.

Let what lay atop return to the ground and put its weight beneath the earth.

She chanted a short cancellation spell, causing the sphere of s.h.i.+ning golden brilliance to collapse and extinguish quickly.

After that, she directly retracted the oily arm back into Salvatores body.

Because the ritual was canceled halfway through, there was no need for Salvatore to continue chanting.

Wait, why cancel it? Salvatore immediately asked Annan, I only have three minutes left. After that, I dont have enough time to do it again!

We have won, senior. Annan said softly, looking at the steel tower.

Salvatore followed his gaze and hesitated, But the Soul Eater seems to know teleportation.

Thats not spatial teleportation, but it dives into the immaterial world, you idiot. Your memory is getting worse. Deep, hoa.r.s.e, and rumbling echo sounded from the head on Salvatores other shoulder, Think about it, if its teleportation, why does it close the third eyelid?

Salvatore opened his mouth but didnt speak out anything.

The head turned around and explained to Annan, The Soul Eaters first eyelid is used to adjust the focus. It is used at a close distance so that it wont lose sight of the enemy. The Soul Eaters usual hunting method is to use the Silent Spear to penetrate the enemy from 800 meters to 1000 meters. This also makes them unable to see the enemy when approaching the target within 30 meters. Therefore, they must rely on the focus adjustment function of the eyelid for close combat.

The second eyelid is used to protect itself against wind and pressure. They sprint faster than the sound. A harder eyelid is a must to protect the delicate and important first eyelid.

What about the third eyelid? Annan asked curiously.

Great that you asked. The shadows deep and hoa.r.s.e voice praised, You dont understand the Soul Eaters abilities, but you can guess its weakness.

The existence of the third eyelid is to isolate the light completely. If you cant isolate the light, it will inevitably produce strong dizziness when you travel through the world. This is called vertigo. This is also one of the reasons why one must be asleep to enter the nightmare world.

Immediately after, the shadow asked, How did you guess that my attack could seal it?

Because I guessed that the Soul Eaters teleportation has a trajectory.

Annan smiled, I noticed that the Soul Eater tends to attack from the back. But in the previous few instant movements, it didnt move directly to the back but moved close to the previous position, not far from the blind spot.

After I realized this, I observed several unnatural momentary movements and landing points after you put pressure on the monster. Those werent the best attack position, let alone its habitual position. Its more like the recent safety point.

So I speculate that there are only two possibilities. Either the total distance of its teleportation is limited, so it should be used sparingly. Otherwise, this isnt complete teleportation but a special ability that grants giga-speed mobility and stealth.

Finally, I observed that every time the Soul Eater uses this mobility ability, it doesnt observe the surrounding environment at the point of landing but immediately launches an attack. But what convinced me is that after I stopped it and it saw your attack, it tried to continue walking forward instead of instantaneous movement.

No matter what the principle was, the Soul Eaters instant movement must rely on walking to trigger it.

You dont delve into the principle, but summarize what you saw.

Shadow smiled and whispered a malicious tone, Okay, thats also a way of thinking, but it doesnt suit me.

Let me introduce myself. You can call me Vatore. Or, you can also call me shadow.

(TN: From here onwards, the Author tends to refer to Salvatore as Sal.)

As the shadow spoke, a demons hand with oily sticky protruding joints reached out from Salvatores abdomen toward Annan, I have been paying close attention to you for a long time, Annan.

Salvatore, who was stunned by listening, realized something.

He couldnt help but scold, Go back! Dont stir up trouble!

But facing the shadow of his body, he could not resist for some reason and had no control over the other partys behavior.

He could only reach out and grab the demons forearm protruding from the abdomen, trying to pull it back.

But his strength was so weak compared to the demon.

He tried his best to push away the reached-out arm.

Ah

, wait a minute. Annan didnt care much.

He just tore the pair of Elvens Skin Glove from his hands like peeling off the adhesive tape that had been pasted for a long time. Even Annans hands seemed to be much whiter because of this.

Salvatore vaguely saw that the inner layer of the glove seemed to have a layer of fluffy, pink, and creeping granulation, which gradually retracted inward.

Annan put his gloves into the bamboo tube around his waist. He then generously shook hands with the shadow.

Annan Austere-Winter, h.e.l.lo.

Feeling the cautious force, Annan couldnt help but raise his mouth, Were not seeing each other for the first time, skip the pleasantries. I have roughly guessed your relations.h.i.+p, so you dont need to explain anything to me for the time being.

This thing would appear after Salvatore becomes a Gold Rank.

It meant that she belonged to Salvatores core ability.

Coupled with Salvatores fluctuations in performance, unfounded inferiority complex, and the way he made Sages Stone that he didnt explain clearly, Annan probably already guessed the truth.

He had a cheat-like thinking pattern.

The ent.i.ty can probably be regarded as a portable hard drive. Thats why the seniors memory is poor.

However, if the shadows talent and strength are so overwhelming, why does the senior control the body?

How did the senior control her?

What is the seniors talent?

Many questions flashed through Annans mind.

But, of course, he understood the priorities.

You are running out of time. Annan replied, If you have nothing else to say, I will send the Soul Eater back to its world first.

Otherwise, something terrible might happen later and even allow the Soul Eater to flee.

Annan had no hatred against the Soul Eater, but he wanted the experience points.

He walked forward without hesitation, took out the knife, and cast Frost Sword.

Elemental attacks were considered true damage to enemies with no elemental power below the Gold Rank.

Frost Sword with frost element naturally followed that rule.

Facing the immobilized Soul Eater, who was powerless and unable to evade, Annan adopted a relatively gentle attack pattern. He slashed the Soul Eater twice and rested for a while to ensure that his health wouldnt drop too much from over-exerting his ability.

After he hacked the monster for the eighth time, the system prompt finally appeared in front of him.

[You have abolished the Silver Rank summon the Soul Eater in the battle and granted 1500 Shared Experience points.]

Thats a lot of experience, which is enough to upgrade myself for one level!

Annans eyes lit up suddenly.

At that moment, there was an evil thought in his mind.

Can I summon the Soul Eater myself and kill it myself?

But he quickly controlled his greed.

If he did that, he would catch Silent Ladys attention.

Its better to have others do the summoning.

I have decided. When I encounter false deity believers in the future, I will pressure them to summon ent.i.ties for me to kill if the situation isnt urgent.

Three minutes soon arrived. The shadow retracted into Salvatores body again. A black curse mark appeared on his body and retracted into the vessel again.

Salvatore curled up on the ground, shaking his knees.

It seems that a considerable part of this pain is chill?

Are you cold? Annan walked over, squatted down, and asked with some concern.

Im still fine. Salvatore insisted and replied, But afterward, I may not have much combat power left.

But, I think it should be over. Annan looked at Yiyi, who had resurrected five times under three minutes, and Delicious Wind Goose, who hadnt even lost a single health point next to him. Then, he asked, How is the situation over there?

Theyre almost done. Its all going well, my lord. Lin Yiyi died and resp.a.w.ned without any psychological trauma.

When she stood up from the ground, she held the new solid steel pipe happily, glanced at the forum, and replied casually.

She intended to paint the steel pipe after the mission. With that, it could be considered as a luxury weapon with skins. (TN: Referring to in-game premium skins.)

Should I apply red paint in the middle and gold paint on both ends?

At this time, Annan suddenly heard a loud and clear baby cry, resounding from all directions.

The child was born.
