Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 111
Mirajane waited anxiously for Woz's reaction, but Woz didn't have the heart to pay attention to the girl's little thoughts at this time.

Because at this time, the ghosts who came to the second floor have already started a new round of mutual devouring!The number of surviving ghosts is even smaller, but there is no doubt that their strength will undergo a qualitative leap again!

Now that they have no ability to threaten Woz and Mirajane, Woz must make a decision as soon as possible: should he leave here or stay and continue to explore?

"Let's take a look again? I don't think these ghosts are too much of a problem." Mirajane was secretly relieved to find that Woz didn't care about her "ugly" side.

Woz nodded and led Mirajane to the next floor.

Seemingly busy devouring each other, these ghosts completely ignored these two people, and even deliberately avoided Mirajane's side.This allowed the two to easily step up the stairs leading to the third floor.

The third floor of the castle is no longer the upper floor of the back hall, but the main building at the rear.The walls here are also thicker and more complete, at least there are no large and small holes, and the outside sunlight cannot enter, making it look very dark.

Woz knocked on the cover of the book, and a soft light floated out of the book, hovering over their heads.With the help of the light, Woz could see clearly the environment on this floor, which was still empty and barren, with nothing in it.

"It seems that before those ghosts come up, there will be nothing here." Mirajane said.

Woz frowned: "The environment here is too closed, there is no other exit except for the stairs just now. If something really happens, it will be really bad for us."

"Why don't we go directly to the top floor?" Mirajane suggested, "I think the strange situation in this castle is definitely not limited to the ghosts we saw earlier."

"Indeed, if the ghost cycle built in the blood cloud outside the castle is always in operation, there will definitely be the strongest ghost in this castle!" Woz agreed, "But, that's probably very dangerous , are we sure we're going?"

Mirajane pushed Woz forward from behind: "Hey, Woz, what are you hesitating about? Even a girl like me is not afraid. As a boy, shouldn't he behave better?"

"It's just that you don't feel scared?" Woz said helplessly.Although Mirajane's magic power is sealed, her own background is still there. The Satanic soul received in her body alone is enough to ensure that all the lonely ghosts here can't harm her at all-unless these ghosts have independent souls and produce real sublimation evolution.

Thinking of this, Woz is no longer worried. Originally, he only became hesitant because he was worried that Mirajane would be hurt.Now that her safety can be guaranteed, Woz can give it a go.

"However, we must be careful. According to the current trend, the evolution direction of ghosts is materialization. Be careful that they use physical means to attack directly." Woz reminded rigorously.

"Don't worry, don't think I'm too weak!" Mirajane smiled and clenched her little white hands. You know, her fighting partner is Erza!

Woz thought about it, and just in case, he released a "shelter" regardless of the possible waste.Woz would rather waste a precious cooldown than get hurt again - neither himself nor Mirajane.

Behind a wall, Woz finally found the stairs leading to the upper floor.And until this time, another ghost finally appeared at the entrance of the stairs.

The blood color of the new ghost is more intense, and its body has almost completely materialized.During the flight, "blood droplets" condensed into liquid continuously dripped down the torn robe, and after falling to the ground, it immediately turned into a wisp of blood that rose up and was absorbed by the Specter's body again.

"A powerful guy finally appeared!" Woz looked at the newly released ghosts, and immediately judged through his reading talent that the strength of these ghosts who had undergone the third "eating" evolution had reached the average level of ordinary magicians!And there are a lot of them!Although it has gone through several rounds of fierce elimination and devouring, their base number at the beginning is really too much, and there are still nearly a hundred ghosts who came to the third floor!
Just as Woz was thinking about how to eliminate them, he suddenly felt his arms tighten, and was caught off guard by Mirajane and staggered.

But Mirajane didn't apologize, nor did she say much, she just took Woz's hand with all her strength and dragged him away from the stairway.

Is something wrong?Woz didn't resist, but ran away with her in the direction of Mira Janela.No need to explain anything, Woz absolutely believed her.

Running all the way to the center of the room, when he was about to collide with the ghosts head-on, Woz suddenly felt a strong smell of blood coming from the stairway just now.

In this castle with very fresh air, the breath of blood reappeared.

One step slower than Mirajane, Woz finally felt something terrifying and powerful coming down the stairs.

Rustle... The sound of cloth rubbing against the ground gradually became clear, as if someone was dragging a heavy robe.

After hearing this sound, the ghosts running around in the room suddenly fell silent, and suddenly they lined up in a neat line and crawled on the ground.As if welcoming their king, the atmosphere became dignified and oppressive.

"They were shaking, they were afraid of that thing!" Mirajane said.

Woz took another careful look at the ghosts lying on the ground. Their blood-colored silhouettes kept shaking, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was the distortion caused by incomplete materialization or the trembling of fear.Moreover, these things that have no intelligence will know fear?
"Be careful, the one that is coming over is something completely different!" Mirajane solemnly reminded again.

Regarding the power of these evil attributes, Woz believed in Mirajane's judgment, so the two carefully retreated to the corner and slowly approached the stairs.

Finally, a crimson figure appeared from the shadows, and stood in front of the kneeling phantom phalanx with great momentum, just like an emperor coming, looking down on his subjects.But his whole body was covered in the big crimson robe of unknown material, and his face was also covered by the shadow of the hood, so that people couldn't see his true face. From this point of view, this guy was more like some oblique teach the leader.

The "religious leader" stretched out his hand to press the ghost in front of him, but the ghost seemed to be really frightened, and his mood fluctuated violently, so that he couldn't even maintain his own shape, it kept twisting, and had a tendency to dissipate into mist.

It whimpered like a dying beast, but it didn't escape.Letting the "leader" grab it, the robe slipped from his arm, revealing a dark and slender "palm", without the slightest flesh and blood, it turned out to be exactly like the palm of a human skeleton, along the wrist, there is also a section of dark palm. skeleton.Seeing this palm, Woz immediately knew that this guy was indeed not a human being, but, as he had guessed before, a ghost evolved to the extreme.Those bones, and even the robe on its body, are all continuously condensed with energy similar to a blood cloud.The fingertips reflected a ray of light, obviously sharp to the extreme, and the sharp claw marks I saw before coming here were its masterpieces.

The captured ghost screamed again, and then its whole body collapsed into a blood-red cloud, which spread along the palm of the "religious leader" to its body, and was absorbed in a short while.

Then it turned to the next ghost.

It turns out that so many ghosts are not to devour each other and decide the strongest, but are they food prepared for the strongest?There is such a strange "ecosphere" hidden in this castle.Woz became curious, and saw that the "religious leader" was like other ghosts, completely ignoring the two living people on his side, and was not in a hurry to leave, but just observed it.

Although the bones of the "religious leader" are as strong as diamonds, it still seems to be floating when walking, without the slightest footsteps, and at an extremely fast speed, hundreds of ghosts were swallowed up in just a few minutes.

Focusing on using his "reading" talent to observe its survival principle, Woz didn't notice the eating efficiency here at all.So it wasn't until the hall became empty that something was wrong.

At this time, the "leader", who had been thought to not care about the living at all, suddenly turned his head and looked at Woz!Under the shadows, two spots of dark red light and a slightly mocking mouth appeared.

This guy is different!Woz recalled Mirajane's previous warning, and suddenly the alarm bells rang in his heart, "he" has a real soul and wisdom!

Woz, who was concentrating on the other party, suddenly met the eyes of the "leader".The crimson pupils seem to have the ability to suck away the souls of those who look at them.

The root of the "religious leader" is a soul with spiritual wisdom, and his soul power may have reached the peak in this world!

Woz yelled in his heart that it was not good, and quickly tried to look away and stop looking at him.But it was already too late, the body of the "religious leader" that was already as solid as metal dissipated in an instant, turning into a bloody mist just like the devoured ghosts just now!
The mist flowed out from the bottom of the spacious robe, cuffs, and neckline, and rushed into Woz's body along the line of sight staring at Woz's pupils!
Because this is pure soul power, even Woz's Sanctuary and the Great Cross Seal cannot stop his invasion.

Seeing the blood mist melt into Woz's body, Meerajane turned pale, and anxiously pulled Woz to look at him with concern.

Woz closed his eyes tightly, competing with the soul in his body for control of the body and protecting his own soul.

Suddenly, Mirajane saw that Woz's face twisted, and this man who was always calm and calm suddenly showed a somewhat crazy and strange smile.

"Woz, how are you? Are you okay?" Mirajane called anxiously.

However, Woz opened his eyes, and there was a little blood in the depths of the originally dark pupils.Woz suddenly let go of his left hand, letting the magic book that was so important to him fall to the ground.Immediately afterwards, Woz stretched out that hand and grabbed Mirajane's fair and slender neck!

"...Woz...you, wake up..." Mirajane did not forcefully break free, but struggled to continue trying to wake up Woz's own soul.

However, Woz is facing the most powerful soul power at this moment!If you simply look at the transformation of power, even Mebis in the ghost state is no match for the "leader"-after all, he has been devouring the lower ghosts for "supplement"!

The smile on Woz's face became more and more cruel, and the palms of his hands were gradually exerting force. The veins on the back of his hands were exposed, and he was about to slowly destroy this beautiful and fragile girl.

Since Mira Jane had the soul of Satan in her body, the "leader" did not choose to directly devour her soul, but killed her through Woz's hand!

Woz will never hurt himself!Mirajane has always believed in this, so she did not use her physical strength far surpassing Woz to break free, but stayed and called him to wake him up—besides, the girl found herself powerless and had no way to deal with the current situation. situation.

But Woz did not let her go, but brutally killed her!
This is no longer Woz, and what is in this body is no longer Woz!Already... there is no hope!

Crystal tears slid down the girl's cheeks.With a sudden drastic change, the situation instantly turned into the most desperate situation.Woz was already in danger, and the girl immediately lost the desire to resist, allowing herself to fall into a semi-comatose state of hypoxia.

At this time, the magic book that fell on the ground turned automatically, a vortex appeared in the magic circle, and countless dark golden streamers gathered, and the automatic book flew into the air, hovering in front of Woz at the same height as his line of sight; A magic thread protruded from her body and plunged into Woz's body.

Mirajane suddenly felt her hand loosen, and she was thrown to the wall next to her.Mirajane coughed and stood up, and found that at this time Woz, there was no scarlet light spot in the left pupil, replaced by countless dark golden runes.And the right eye is still a little red.

"Damn it, damn it!" A hoarse and vicious voice came out of Woz's mouth.

But soon, the dark golden light in Woz's eyes flourished, completely suppressing the scarlet.An empty and emotionless voice sounded: "The character Jia is thirteen, relatively different, and the soul is isolated!"

"The word B is the first, and the text notes: the identification is not the soul of my body, it is a heresy, and it is a great enemy!"

"Second A, enhanced, sacred and inviolable place!"

"A character sixteen, prison cage!"

"The word B is ten, and the magic power is isolated!"

A series of magic that trapped the enemy and the enemy poured out one after another, directly applying it to Woz's own body.A large number of dark golden words flew out of the magic book at Woz's feet and sank into his body.

With the cooperation of the automatic secretary, this round of outbreak destroyed more than half of the magic reserve accumulated by the automatic secretary for so long!But the situation was urgent, and Woz couldn't care less about his distress, and even felt that it wasn't enough, so he further untied the seal of the Great Cross, released the magic power of ice, and tried to use the sealing method in the ice modeling magic to strengthen the "prisoner" in his body. cage"!
After finishing all this work, Woz finally breathed a sigh of relief, the dark golden runes faded from his eyes, and the ghost that suddenly invaded his body was temporarily suppressed and imprisoned.

Then, Woz had the time to feel scared, and the cold sweat drenched his back instantly.

"Woz? Is that you?" A cautious voice came from the side.

Woz went up to help Mirajane: "I'm so sorry for hurting you."

The girl shook her head: "I'm fine, but what's the matter with you, Woz? Have you solved that guy?"

"How can it be that easy?" Woz smiled wryly, "It's just temporarily suppressed, and I don't know how long it can last."

"Then what should I do?" Mirajane panicked, "Hurry up and go back to the president, he will definitely find a solution!"

But Woz said: "That's too far away. I think a better way is to find Hey Berrien, right? He should be nearby. And I always feel that the things here are also related to him."
