Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 110 Specter Ghost
Woz and Mirajane entered this eerie blood cloud castle.It turns out that the castle has been deserted for a long time, but it's not as empty as they imagined - those sharp scratches show that there is something else vicious here!
But these did not shake the two of them in the slightest. As S-level mages, the two are well-informed. They have encountered even weirder situations in S-level missions. Worth their attention.

So at this moment, the two of them had no intention of retreating at all, but instead walked into the depths of the castle with great interest.

With preparation, the outer layer of blood cloud is not a threat to Woz; and Mirajane is directly immune to the threat of blood cloud.They are carefree and naturally bolder.

Passing through the hall and coming to the back hall, Woz found that the light here was much better, because the room here was more dilapidated, and several huge holes in the ceiling allowed the outside sunlight to directly shine in.However, the temperature inside did not rise due to the direct sunlight, on the contrary it was cooler than the front hall.The sudden temperature change even made one's skin crawl.

Mirajane clasped her arms subconsciously, and looked back at the front hall across the door, obviously the temperature there was still normal.

"Ah!" The girl suddenly exclaimed, pointing to the door behind, "What's there!"

Woz turned around in response, and immediately saw what Mirajane pointed out - a dark red translucent humanoid object, which was flying slowly past the door, and half of its body was pierced through the stone wall of the door frame. come here!

Fortunately, it was Mirajane who saw it. If it were an ordinary girl, she would have screamed in fright and fainted, right?

"This is... a ghost?" Mirajane looked curiously.

"Strictly speaking, this thing should be called a 'ghost'?" Woz curled his lips. In his opinion, only the existence mode of the first generation Mebis can be called a "ghost"; It was so ugly and terrifying that he didn't want to call it a ghost!
"Well, it's really ugly." Mirajane nodded, "Then let's call it a ghost!"

Woz smiled helplessly: "You really hold grudges, they have already disbanded, why don't you let them go?"

"They're all disbanded anyway, so don't worry about the name?" Mirajane said, "Look, there are more ghosts in the front hall!"

Sure enough, just after Woz and the others left, there were suddenly more bloody ghosts in the front hall.They didn't seem to find Woz and Mirajane, but kept wandering there.

The ghosts flew around the room in a neat line, and when passing by the blood cloud at the gate, they stretched out their hand-like limbs to tear off a piece from the blood cloud, and then swallowed it into their bodies.Every time a blood cloud fragment is swallowed, the blood color of these ghosts becomes thicker.Occasionally, a few ghosts moved too much or didn't react in time. Instead of tearing off the blood cloud fragments, they were swept in by the blood cloud, and then they were never seen coming out.

I don't know if Woz's accidental intrusion touched something. A large number of ghosts continued to emerge from the walls of the castle, joining the ranks of predatory blood cloud fragments.

Within a few tens of seconds of Woz's observation, hundreds of ghosts gathered in the front hall!And there are signs of continued growth.A single ghost might not pose the slightest threat, but even the bold Woz had to face up to this number.

Woz grabbed the spellbook and wondered what kind of magic effect would have the effect of exorcising ghosts.

The ghosts gathered more and more, and soon the front hall could not be crowded.The ghost who couldn't "eat" finally noticed the two people in the back hall.For ghosts with only the most basic instincts, there is not much difference between living people and food.

A large number of ghosts rushed towards Woz and Mirajane.

These ghosts that can pass directly through entities obviously have no physical attack capabilities.So Woz pulled Mirajane behind him, and at the same time silently recited the word "bound, bound", completely completing the big cross seal that was slightly untied in order to cool down in the desert.

The ghosts plunged into Woz's body with a diving-like movement, and were immediately bounced back by an inexplicable force, making a piercing scream that could not be heard by human ears but sounded directly in the mind.

"Sure enough, are they all magical attacks?" Woz knew in his heart that his Great Cross seal not only sealed all his own magic power, but also turned Woz's body into a kind of magic power that completely repelled it. Special constitution.This also makes effect magic completely useless to Woz.

At this time, Woz, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly heard the screams of ghosts coming from behind him, and when he looked back, he was startled. At this time, the back hall was also full of ghosts!Woz, his act of keeping Mirajane behind him didn't make any sense.

But Mirajane had a relaxed and natural expression, and smiled comfortingly at Woz, standing still and letting the ghosts pounce on her.

Unlike Woz, the ghost that jumped into Mirajane's body was not ejected, and there was no next move.The silver-haired girl's body was like a bottomless black hole, swallowing all the phantoms that rushed towards her.

Woz was surprised but still worried. Using his "reading" talent to observe, he found that those ghosts who rushed into Mirajane's body and tried to attack her were indeed attacked by a more powerful "soul body"!There is a huge and deep soul hidden in Mirajane's body, which is impossible to be discovered at ordinary times, but at this time, it is stimulated by the invading ghosts to appear, and it directly opens its mouth to swallow all these ghosts. Feast on it.

After discovering Woz's peeping, the soul didn't care, just turned to look at him, and continued its "food" journey.

These ghosts were unlucky enough to come to grandma's house, so they ran into the "devil" Mirajane, who had absorbed the most powerful demon soul "Soul of Satan" in her body!Isn't this a direct food delivery?
Seeing this, Woz also understood why Mirajane was not harmed in the blood cloud.Because Mirajane's magic hair attribute is the top-level "evil", the magic power of Blood Cloud Castle, which is also of the evil attribute, naturally cannot cause any harm to her.It is even said that if Mirajane can recover her strength now and perform a complete reception of Satan's soul to transform into a demon, she will be recognized as their king by these brainless ghosts!
Reassured, Woz took Mirajane further into the castle. Although there was no need to care about ghosts and the like, there were too many of them, and they had completely occupied the front and rear halls.And they look really ugly!Woz and the others couldn't bear it, so they had no choice but to hurry up and leave here to the second floor.

The second floor was indeed quite clean, but soon a large number of ghosts rushed up the stairs.

"Why do they take the stairs? Can't they come directly through the wall?" Mirajane said strangely, "And the color has become thicker!"

When the ghosts rushed up to the second floor, Woz found that these ghosts had begun to break away from the illusory spirit body, and there were already some signs of reality.Woz could clearly see the interaction between the two ghosts when they collided.

And in the process of pushing and shoving, from time to time, some ghosts with relatively dark colors were torn apart and swallowed by other ghosts around them!

Woz knew that there might not be many ghosts left below.After devouring the blood cloud fragments, these ghosts actually started to devour each other to strengthen them!Now these ghosts have gradually begun to have entities!

Reflecting on the fresh scratches they saw in the front hall, Woz came to a worrying conclusion.

"They won't just continue to devour each other and evolve?"

Mirajane frowned, and suddenly stretched out her hand to grab a ghost. The ghost struggled desperately, pulled it hard and tore itself in two and fled. The chemical is absorbed by her.

Mirajane looked at Woz next to her, and quickly threw it away with her hands, causing a burst of looting by the ghosts.

"That, I didn't mean to absorb that!" She explained in a panic, lowering her eyes and not daring to see Woz's reaction.Mirajane has always been very concerned about how others view her magic. After all, it represents evil magic and has brought great misfortune to her and her family.After joining the guild, Mirajane no longer worried that Fairy Tail's companions would care about her "evil" attribute magic, especially Woz, and would not discriminate against her because of this.

However, Mirajane is now worried about the "ugly" side of her magic - the reception of demon souls should not be a girl's magic!
She is especially reluctant to show this side in front of Woz now.
