Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

The nearby Mu Nujiao also looked puzzled. Seeing that the two women didn't show any strangeness, Lin Chen said in a low voice, "Something is indeed wrong. Everyone's inner desires seem to be infinitely magnified. I suspect it's the work of some special demon."

Mu Nujiao said, "Then why are we okay?"

"Our mental strength is higher than that demon's, so it can't affect us at all!" Lin Chen explained.

Needless to say, Lin Chen's mental strength level has reached level nine, making him one of the top mental strength users in the entire magic world.

Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao had both taken immortal herbs that enhance mental strength.

Although their mental strength wasn't as high as Lin Chen's, it had also reached level seven, so the demon couldn't influence their minds.

The two women understood immediately upon hearing this and realized the key point. Mu Ningxue said, "This can't continue. I feel that many people have been affected."

"Why don't we go and destroy that demon? If this continues, forget about the mission, I'm afraid not many people will be able to return safely!" Mu Nujiao sighed and suggested.

Lin Chen didn't hesitate and said directly, "Alright, let's go out and look for it!"

......

The entire desolate city fell into a terrifying seven minutes of midnight silence. The faint, occasional screams of fear in the distance only made people more uneasy.

The starlight was bleak, illuminating the chaotic outlines of the silent city. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to venture out of the relatively safe church at midnight...

Lin Chen led the two women to a depression. A pile of ghastly white bones appeared at their feet, so jumbled that it was impossible to tell what kind of creature they belonged to.

"This place is strange. That demon must be hiding here!" Mu Ningxue said, looking at the pool not far away.

"Ice Spread - Coverage!"

Mu Ningxue's ice-spirit voice rang out, and the ice-elemental star pattern instantly lit up. Ice spread rapidly, covering the pool. In an instant, the surface of the pool was almost frozen, and the cold light of the stars could be clearly seen reflected on it.

In the pool, many transparent little spiders crawled out. Lin Chen didn't hesitate at all, directly using the power of space to kill them all.

"Boom..."

Just then, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the pool. Instantly, all the frost that had condensed in the pool shattered, turning into ice crystals that scattered across the sky. The icy pool water also splashed up in a white wave.

At the same time, countless little spiders like before jumped around in the water, scaring people into scattering in all directions.

From within the wave, a hideous black head emerged. Rows of eyes glowed with an eerie red light, staring intently at Lin Chen and the two women.

The spider's head alone was about half a room in size, with eyes densely packed between its head and face, looking like a grotesque mask, twisted with various messy flesh patterns.

Its body was mainly composed of its head, while its body was noticeably smaller.

But the most striking thing was the eight blades that could easily pierce the chest of a creature, covered with dense bristles, extremely terrifying.

"It's a Bewitching Demon Spider!"

"Ice Lock - Ice Chain!"

When the demon revealed its true form, Mu Ningxue didn't hesitate at all, and lit up the ice-elemental star pattern again. Her body emitted a strong chill. Instantly, the entire pool of water turned into frost, and two ice soul chains flew towards the Bewitching Demon Spider. In the blink of an eye, the ugly Bewitching Demon Spider was tightly locked by the ice soul chains.

"Kun Forest - Entanglement!"

Mu Nujiao followed closely behind and lit up the plant-elemental star pattern. Dense vines grew out around the Bewitching Demon Spider, forming a plant cage. The tough vines wrapped around the Bewitching Demon Spider's body.

Faced with the attacks of Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue, the Bewitching Demon Spider suddenly became manic, and its eight sharp legs waved rapidly, and eight air blades were waved out, slashing on the vines and ice locks.

"Bang bang bang..." The surrounding vines and ice soul chains were immediately torn apart. Mu Ningxue couldn't help but take a step back to steady herself.

Compared to Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao still stood in place. Her body faintly lit up with a green light. As the magic energy was constantly released, the vines on the ground suddenly stood upright. The originally incomplete vines grew rapidly at an extremely fast speed, and then extended towards the body of the Bewitching Demon Spider, tightly wrapping the Bewitching Demon Spider in circles with tough vines.

The Bewitching Demon Spider, which was trapped again, suddenly froze for a moment, but quickly waved its sharp legs.

However, this time it didn't get its wish. No matter how the Bewitching Demon Spider waved its long legs, it still couldn't escape. The vines broke and grew again, and their number increased instead of decreasing. The countless tough vines made the Bewitching Demon Spider annoyed, and it could only wave its sharp legs more and more frantically, but no matter how crazy it was, it couldn't destroy the vines.

"Mind Control - Mind Sword!"

Just then, Lin Chen's voice suddenly rang out. Lin Chen's body exuded a strong power of space, and dozens of invisible long swords went towards the Bewitching Demon Spider.

Next moment, invisible sword of space as if fitted with positioning in general, easily through the dense vine gap, stabbed into the body of Bewitching Demon Spider.

The Bewitching Demon Spider immediately showed a look of pain, and the eight terrifying legs also stopped waving. The huge body of the Bewitching Demon Spider moved slightly a few times and then stood motionless in place.

"Bang..."

With a loud noise, the Bewitching Demon Spider crashed to the ground, completely losing its life.

"Is it dead?"

Mu Nujiao asked uncertainly, while retracting those vines. Although she knew that Lin Chen was very strong, she didn't expect that it would only take one move to deal with this terrifying Bewitching Demon Spider. The difference between them was obvious.

"It should be dead. Mu's plant-based magic is really a BUG!" Mu Ningxue said enviously. The ice-based magic and plant-based magic that are good at control were originally on par in terms of control ability, but Mu Nujiao's plant-based system has strong vitality and regeneration ability, making her plant-based magic a BUG.

"It's alright!" Mu Nujiao said shyly. Faced with Mu Ningxue's praise, she seemed a little unnatural. The chaotic relationship between the three made Mu Nujiao feel at a loss.

"Xue'er's ice system is also very strong, but you didn't use high-level magic just now, otherwise it wouldn't be my turn to take action!" Lin Chen said with a smile.

Mu Ningxue rolled her eyes at Lin Chen and said, "I know, isn't it because I agreed with you before not to use high-level magic!"

Lin Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Hey, what we said was just a competition between us! Next time when facing demons, don't hold back! In the wild, safety is the most important thing."

Mu Ningxue snorted coldly and said in a low voice, "Got it!"
