Arad's Sword

Chapter 7 Ghosts and Gods
He first took off his upper body clothes, took out a kind of ointment from his backpack, and spread it evenly on his body.This kind of ointment with hardening agent and blood drop stone as the main material can make the body effectively resist the infiltrating ghost energy.This is not to stop the invasion of ghosts and gods, but to slow down its speed.

When ghosts and gods invade, they will first directly attack the vital point of the human body - the heart - if it is breached, there will be no ghost swordsmen left, only a corpse will be left.The so-called ghost swordsmen refer to those humans who can at least resist this kind of attack.

However, this kind of invasion will also make the distribution of ghost qi in the body extremely disordered.In order to distribute the ghost energy more evenly on the left arm, Midi had to use ointment to slow down its speed as soon as it came up, so as to achieve the effect of evenly containing the ghost energy in the left arm.

Then, Midi took out another bottle of pale gold potion, and took a sip of it in his mouth without swallowing it.

This is a soul-calling potion formed by dissolving soul crystals in mandala juice and then diluting it. It is a hallucinogen for people, and drinking too much may cause death.However, when using it, it can stimulate the potential in the consciousness, so that the weak human soul can surpass the powerful ghosts and gods.

Only in this way can we better integrate ourselves with ghosts and gods, and then form a master-slave relationship sufficient to master ghosts and gods.

After confirming that everything was ready, and that the ointment applied on the body had penetrated into the skin, Midi took the last two materials——hatch grass and smoked rain flowers, and strode towards the small island in the middle of the lake.

The water in the lake is very shallow, but also very cold, but Midi walked over as if he didn't feel it.Every time he took a step forward, he could feel the ghostly aura around him getting stronger, and finally it seemed to be real, like slender and sharp steel wires hanging on his body, making his skin feel an irresistible chill.

One step, another step.

Midi's feet finally left the lake and stepped on the pure white gravel.

He took a deep breath, and then, without hesitation, he held the broken sword in front of him with his left hand!

The severe pain spread all over Midi's body in an instant, it was like a half-melted steel sword stabbing from the left arm towards the heart!
The ointment prepared in advance did work, but it also magnified the pain dozens of times—because the speed of ghosts and gods invading the body was greatly slowed down, the pain that was originally cut in half turned into a back and forth cut like a blunt knife , Stinging Midi's nerves, even soul.

Even though it was winter, beads of sweat dripped from Midi's forehead, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.However, seeing the icy ghostly aura continuously spreading along his left arm like vines toward his heart, he didn't say a word, just sipped the soul-calling potion in his mouth, waiting for the best time.

All of a sudden, all the pain disappeared, and the ghost energy seemed to die down, not moving at all.

But Midi not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but condensed his spirit to the limit in an instant - the ghost and god are about to charge up and launch a destructive blow!

Ordinary swordsmen may not know anything about this situation, but for the reborn Midi, this is the most critical moment.He held his breath and waited quietly.The next moment, all of a sudden, the consciousness of the left arm completely disappeared, as if the arm was cut off by Qi Gen, it was the full blow of ghosts and gods!
Midi immediately swallowed the soul-calling potion at this moment, his soul and consciousness swelled at this moment, and a knife-sharp light shot out from his eyes.

This overwhelming spiritual force collided with the attack of ghosts and gods from the front, and the two used Midi's body as a battlefield, silently fighting to the death.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the effect of the soul-calling potion was also disappearing bit by bit, and the body was in severe pain as if it had been torn apart.However, Midi did not give up, and still gritted her teeth to tame the ghost energy in her body.

It really hurts, it hurts so much that the whole body is numb, and the soul can't move. However, compared with the despair of losing family, partner, and lover in the past 20 years, what is this little pain in front of me?
Answer my call!Midi screamed in her heart.

Finally, the ghostly aura shrank in an instant, and it froze on Midi's left arm like frozen ice.

A bean-sized protrusion appeared on the surface of the arm, then retracted, and reappeared after a while, shrinking back and forth, as if there was a miniature heart inside the ghost hand.Such hearts gradually increased, four, eight, sixteen, and finally the entire back of the hand was densely covered with protrusions.This one shrinks, that one protrudes again, and the beating frequency is getting faster and faster, so that Midi feels that her left arm is about to explode.

However, the beating frequency finally slowed down, and Midi found that the protruding beating was gradually matching her own heartbeat.Finally, a scorching energy flow poured into the body through the wrist, and Midi found that he had regained the feeling of the upper part of the body: the left arm could move!Just as flexible and as free as the original!
The "ghost hand" is formed!

Unlike ordinary ghost swordsmen who are full of ghosts, and even change in shape, making them look terrifying, Midi's left arm is almost the same as that of a normal person.Only the surface of the arm seemed to be engraved with countless dark purple patterns like vines. This pattern continued to spread until it gradually disappeared near the shoulder. The breath was completely restrained, without any sign of letting go.

If you put on clothes and armor, not only can you not see the difference in appearance, you can't even feel the ghost aura.However, inside the left arm, Midi could clearly feel that an extremely powerful force was dormant.

The lines on the surface of the ghost hand kept flickering, and the surrounding magic power began to gather towards Midi's position.

This is the first magic pull by the ghost hand. After this pull, Midi will change from an ordinary swordsman to a ghost swordsman who can sense magic power.And the extent of this first magical pull determines Midi's growth potential as a ghost swordsman, so his eyes immediately showed concern.

In the previous life, even though the fusion was interrupted in the middle, during the re-performed ceremony afterwards, Midi's ghosts and gods still raised her to a full level, and her various physical qualities were significantly improved, which shows her strength.

Now, Midi has made all kinds of preparations, and the whole fusion process is perfect. I don't know how far it can go?
Under Midi's expectant eyes, the surrounding magic power surged like a tide.

Like a whirlwind blowing out of thin air, the magic power in the air suddenly became thicker.The originally invisible magic power now has a real substance, causing strong winds, stirring Midi's trouser legs, and making the sound of hunting.There was an expression of shock and surprise in Midi's eyes. The huge and gorgeous magic vortex made him feel as small as an ant.The entire lake is filled with strong magic power, and the scene is extremely magnificent.

At the same time, Midi can also clearly feel that her physical fitness is improving at an unprecedented speed!

The power became more and more tyrannical, and a single blow could create a cyclone with an afterimage in the air.

The physical strength became more and more abundant, the heartbeat gradually slowed down, and the breathing became extremely long.

The perception of the surrounding magic power is constantly improving, whether it is the attribute of magic power or the amount of magic power, it is clearly reflected in his mind.

And the mind has become extremely clear, and the speed of thinking and reaction seems to have reached a new level.

In an instant, Midi found that he had crossed the peak of level 16 and entered the threshold of level 17.This is the record of the previous life, but now Midi can clearly feel that this is far from her limit!
In an instant, level 18 was also broken through.

In the cave, the cold wind whimpered, and the huge magic power was being absorbed, and then transformed into the power of Midi and ghosts and gods.

Level 19!
Midi trembled with excitement and could hardly believe it.From level 16 to level 19, merging with ghosts and gods has actually directly raised him by 3 levels.Not only that, the change in physical fitness has even far exceeded the increase in level. According to Midi's estimation, although I am only level 19 now, in terms of absolute strength and physical strength, I definitely surpass the average ghost swordsman. On par with job changers.

The speed of power growth finally began to slow down. In the cave, the surging magic power finally stopped gathering and gradually dissipated; on the lake, the howling wind finally calmed down and gradually stopped.

Midi's ghost hand has changed again, the lines on the surface are no longer scattered like vines, but are like precision circuits made of rulers and gauges, which are densely distributed on the surface of the skin in a spiral form, slightly scattering A lavender glow.It was like an obscure and profound magic circle like an abyss.

The fusion of ghosts and gods is finally close to completion.

There is one last step left, and that is the seal.

Although Midi tamed the ghosts and gods with his own will at this moment, as long as one is not paying attention or falls asleep, he can easily become a prisoner of ghosts and gods again.The struggle between ghost swordsman and invading ghosts and gods will last from the moment of his birth to his death, which is a long process covering a lifetime.

Therefore, at this time, the seal lock is needed.

Beside the Broken Sword, there is such a pair of chains, which must have been left by the previous unknown but powerful master of the Broken Sword and Ghost God.

In the previous life, this chain made of an unknown material has always accompanied Midi, restraining ghosts and gods, and also acted as a shield at critical moments. With its hard material, it has blocked countless fatal attacks.

Midi picked up the heavy chain with some nostalgia. The chain is not thick, but like a bracelet. It looks light and thin, and the strange weight can only be felt when it is placed on the hand.

However, the boy did not seal it immediately, but ignited the specially brought shadow line grass and Xun Yuhua.

In the rising smoke, patches of lavender mist gradually emerged.

This is the ghost energy that has escaped from the ghost of Broken Sword over the years. It can be said that it is also a part of this ghost, but it has been out of control due to too many years.

The reborn Midi wants to be perfect in everything now, so naturally she will not miss this last icing on the cake.With the help of the appearance of the smoke, he stretched out his ghostly hand to absorb all the pieces of mist into his body, making sure that nothing was missed.

A level 19 ghost swordsman with a physical fitness that exceeds that of ordinary job-changers, plus my experience in life-and-death battles over the years, even Fina will probably be shocked.

Thinking this way, Midi finally showed a relieved smile.

He was about to wade back to the shore, and when he returned to the canyon the same way, the originally extremely calm lake surface suddenly had a slight wave.

Then, a monster with a body like a giant python floated up from the water, and made a sharp howling sound.

"Kill the Gu worm! This guy is probably level 40!" The moment Midi saw the truth of the monster, Midi's pupils shrank in an instant.
