The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 151 Soul Storm
Ghosts are the spirit bodies left by intelligent creatures. They cannot rest in the spirit world due to some natural or unnatural reasons, and they are constantly wandering on the earth.The predecessor of the ghost can make any strange monsters, animals, beasts, dragons, giants, humanoids, magical beasts, humanoid monsters or deformed monsters. The remains of the remains.

Under normal circumstances, although ghosts can come and go between the spirit world and the main material world at will, they cannot touch or affect all entities in the main material world, unless ghosts use the supernatural ability of [manifestation].The ghost that activates the [Reveal] ability will appear in front of the creature in the form of an incorporeal body, and can attack the physical creature by touching it.Ghost also has a series of unique supernatural abilities, such as [corrupted touch], [horror howl], [corrupted gaze], [possession], [telecontrol] and so on.So for people who don't understand and don't have special protective equipment, ghosts are a deadly existence.

William did not slow down his pace, but his steps became heavier and more powerful. Every time he landed, it seemed that the ground trembled non-stop. He handed the trembling Miluna to his left hand, and drew out his right hand, the center of gravity of his body Gradually lowered, like a rioting rhinoceros rampaging, forming a series of gray and white tail marks on the snow.

He already sensed the danger approaching, and the psychic saber kept making a clear sound that only he could hear. What William found strange was that it was not a warning, but a kind of extreme joy and longing. .

Finally appeared, the shadows of incorporeal bodies all over the mountains and plains, human-shaped, non-human-shaped, bird-like, and beast-like, mighty and magnificent, but there is no sound at all, giving people an extremely weird feeling.In fact, facing this kind of situation, I am afraid that no one will care about whether the scene is weird or not, and those who are less timid will probably faint from fright.

At this moment, William also had to stop, the surrounding ghosts crowded each other and surrounded him, it seemed that there were countless people or something whispering in his ears, as if they were about to say something.Although he didn't know what these sudden appearances were, William had a premonition that these whispers were not good things. He turned a deaf ear to these weird sounds, and focused on the clear sound of broken dreams.

The ghosts got closer and closer, and finally they were only a few steps away from William. They stretched out their hands or claws, tentacles, and weapons to touch William.William suddenly yelled violently, like a thunderbolt shaking the whole field, Qiushui Broken Dream protruded out, with his left foot as the axis, his whole body spun suddenly, the layer of ghosts closest to him was cut off immediately, and then all the wounded The incorporeal bodies collapsed one after another, turning into nothingness and disappearing between the heaven and the earth, but no one (ghost?) noticed that a small part of the essence of each disappeared spirit body was absorbed by the broken dream of autumn water.

With one blow, William felt several cold currents coming into his body and rushing into his mind, and his whole body immediately became much more energetic as if he had been jolted.Before William could think about what was going on, all the ghosts suddenly opened their mouths, and countless shrill screams instantly drowned him out.

[Howl of Fear], a natural supernatural ability unique to ghosts, William felt as if he was in the most dangerous stormy sea, struggling with difficulty and despair in a canoe that was about to capsize.A huge wave rushed towards the sky, and the illusion in front of him disappeared instantly. William found himself once again in the world of black and white.

Ever since that special black-and-white world first appeared on the Spine of the World, William has always been unable to forget this state. He has tried countless times to re-experience it again, but he has never succeeded. He never thought that this time the black-and-white world would appear again. Appear.

In the black and white world everything is black and white, except the souls of creatures.In William's "eyes", the color of the soul is colorful, and the stronger the soul, the brighter the color.At this time, there are colorful balls of light in front of William, covering the sky and covering the ground without bounds, but the most conspicuous one is the one in William's arms, soft and bright like the most beautiful moon, and there seems to be boundless hidden under the bright moon. The power of the gods, and constantly radiating holy light to the surroundings.Although the light spheres representing ghosts are also colored, they are much darker than the souls of normal creatures, but they become much more gorgeous and brighter immediately after being irradiated by the light of Miluna's soul.

Although the brilliance had an effect on the surrounding light spheres, it had no effect on William.Unlike the last time he was dominated by the subconscious when he experienced the black and white world, although he was still full of greed and desire for the light ball this time, William had the ability to think actively. After a little thought, he understood the brightest light ball next to him. , I'm afraid it should be Miluna I'm holding, and these monsters should be coming for her.

What surprised William was that the ghost light clusters actually had the ability to attack. They could spread a strange ripple around them ([Howl of Horror]), and they could also shoot out a slightly slow black ray ([Corrupt Gaze]), but [ Horror Wailing] Although it has a large range, it has no effect on William at this time, and the [Corruption Gaze] that can hurt him is not only slow, but also has a very limited attack distance in a single direction.

William's "consciousness" greedily swept across the spirit bodies around him, and couldn't help screaming excitedly, dragging the light ball representing Miluna to the nearest small light ball.If in reality, it was William holding Xiaomi Luna and letting out an inhuman howl, rushing towards the surrounding ghosts like a wild beast, then Broken Dreams would be his claws and teeth.

No one knows how fast William is, but ghosts who are as fast as they were in life can never keep up with his movements. This is no longer a scene that can be described by a tiger into a pack of wolves, devouring, crushing, and melting. Every time he passes Everywhere becomes empty.

William felt that he was getting stronger and more agile, and when the nearby spirit bodies were wiped out, he almost felt reborn.The radiance emanating from Meluna's soul also began to affect him, and a warm and peaceful feeling rippled in William's body.
Ghosts are not lunatics, they also have their own wisdom, know how to be afraid, and know to stay away from danger. As William continued to devour and kill, they began to shrink back and tried to avoid the direction of William's attack.At this time, William suddenly had a sudden idea, he wanted to imitate the ghost's soul attack method.

William "grabbed" the soul light ball of a ghost, and his consciousness, which was several times stronger, constantly "scanned" the opponent's movements, [Corrupted Gaze]! [Howl of terror]!Immediately after the ghost light ball sent out two attacks, it became much darker. William, who hadn't explored it clearly, grabbed it into nothingness, and grabbed the second ghost again to continue observing.
William kept observing and simulating the attacking methods of the ghosts. One poor demonstrator was abandoned and devoured by him, but William also became full of killing efficiency because of this, and the ghosts that had already started to panic slowly surrounded him .William, who is constantly studying and studying, has gradually figured out the trick of [Howl of Horror], but he still can't understand the mystery of [Corruption Gaze]. He feels that there seems to be a special substance missing in his soul, and that is the key.

[Howl of Horror] is actually a way of vibrating the soul or mental power, using the unique frequency it produces to affect the surrounding creatures.William imitated the appearance of a ghost and kept vibrating his own consciousness. At first, it was difficult for him to actively vibrate his consciousness, but with the strengthening of his soul power and continuous exploration, William finally learned to vibrate his soul in a small range, which made him greatly for excitement.

William shook his soul (or mental power) over and over again, and the clear chirping of Autumn Water Broken Dreams became louder and louder, and William, who was intoxicated by it, almost ignored the ghosts that surrounded him again.The target was right in front of them, and the ghosts who didn't know the lesson they had learned once again launched a large-scale [Howl of Horror] at the same time, layer after layer of shock ripples rushed towards William.

Suddenly, William raised his head to the sky and let out a long cry, accompanied by the "clang" sound of Autumn Water Broken Dreams, a wave of terror to the limit spread rapidly around William as the center, and every ghost affected by it disintegrated in an instant The collapse turned into nothingness, and the sky and the earth became clear.

William's [Howl of Horror] finally appeared. Once this ability that was originally exclusive to ghosts was activated, it immediately exploded with power beyond imagination. All ghosts in William's consciousness were immediately wiped out. It's a pity that These ghost spirits did not provide him with any soul energy, and William also involuntarily withdrew from the black and white world.

William, who had returned to reality, couldn't help but faltered, but the charge just now was too violent, his body consumed too much energy, but his spirit was so excited because he absorbed too much soul energy from ghosts. Howling] has almost no effect on his mental strength.

William fell down on the snowy ground, hugging Miluna with one hand, holding his sword on the ground with the other, and tried the soul attack method he just learned twice. After he was sure that he had completely mastered it, he couldn't help laughing up to the sky.William didn't know that Ghost's supernatural ability was called [Howl of Terror], and the ability he activated had a wider range and was more powerful, so he named his newly learned ability [Soul Storm].

William lowered his head to look at the girl in his arms. Miluna no longer trembled, and was looking at him with big clear eyes.William smiled bitterly and said, "You little girl, you are definitely not an ordinary person. What is your background? If you have anything to do with it, I really don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse in the future."
