Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

Dim candlelight flickered on both sides of the path, casting the two people's furtive shadows onto the walls.

Their steps were already light, but they still felt like their footsteps were loud enough to be heard far away.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the space gradually widened, and a large ground hall appeared in front of them.

The ground hall was shaped like a vase. Lin Chen and Mochizuki Chika were currently in the narrower part of the vase's neck. Inside the long ground hall were four men wearing indigo blue guard uniforms. Judging from their aura, they should all be intermediate-level mages.

"Most of the ordinary people in the East Guard Pavilion have their strength suppressed by restrictions, so intermediate-level mages are already considered powerful existences in their eyes!" Mochizuki Chika explained to Lin Chen.

The only lighting in the ground hall came from the faint candlelight on the walls. Lin Chen did not hesitate to knock the four men unconscious.

"Go see your brother, I'll guard here!" After doing all this, Lin Chen said to Mochizuki Chika.

Mochizuki Chika looked at Lin Chen, a trace of tenderness flashing in her eyes, and said, "Thank you!"

Then she leaned against the thick door and spoke to the person inside the room.

They were speaking in Japanese, which Lin Chen didn't understand!

After a while, Mochizuki Chika looked back at Lin Chen. From the excited expression in her eyes, it was clear that the person imprisoned inside was indeed her brother, Tsuruta!

Mochizuki Chika was a little emotional, and her eyes were already red.

Tsuruta had been missing for so long, she almost thought her brother had disappeared from the world. Who would have thought he would be imprisoned just across a suspension bridge from her? As a member of the West Guard Pavilion, how could Mochizuki Chika not know how terrifying this prison was?

The two talked for a long time, during which Lin Chen did not forget to take care of the four guards again.

After a moment, Mochizuki Chika walked over and said to Lin Chen, "In addition to a dark array, the East Guard Pavilion also has a huge curse. This curse will gradually extract the power of the soul from the people imprisoned here. I originally thought this was the effect of the curse array, but I didn't expect the curse array to not only extract the power of the soul from the prisoners' bodies, but also condense them into a bead… I think, the treasure you're looking for should be it, right?"

Lin Chen nodded slightly and said, "That's right!"

Mochizuki Chika said angrily, "That bastard, Military Head Takagi, is willing to do such a thing in order to advance his contracted summoned beast to the monarch level… As a military leader of the West Guard Pavilion, harming others for profit like this is extremely hateful!"

"It seems our goals have aligned!" Lin Chen smiled.

Hearing this, Mochizuki Chika nodded and said, "That's right, we must take the Condensed Soul Pearl away, otherwise, if Takagi finds it, he will definitely kill my brother to silence him!"

Then, following the clues her brother gave her, Mochizuki Chika led Lin Chen towards the location of the pearl.

After successfully arriving at the place Tsuruta had mentioned, the two entered the room. In the center of the room, a bead with a turbid luster and an evil aura was suspended.

Just as Mochizuki Chika was about to take the bead in her hand, Lin Chen immediately stopped her.

"Don't touch it, this thing will bewitch people's hearts. If nothing else, your brother has already been bewitched. If you touch it, you will also be bewitched!" Lin Chen said firmly.

Mochizuki Chika was stunned, and turned her head to say with disbelief, "Impossible, my brother wouldn't lie to me!"

Lin Chen said helplessly, "Believe me, your brother has already been bewitched!"

Mochizuki Chika asked, "Your purpose in coming here is for this pearl. Can I really trust you?"

"I have already trusted you, but I didn't expect you still don't trust me!" Lin Chen said with a wry smile.

Just then, the pearl seemed to sense something and wanted to run away, but the moment it moved, it was imprisoned by Lin Chen.

Mochizuki Chika suddenly said excitedly, "I didn't distrust you, nor did I want to possess it. All I want to do is hand it over to the Osaka Magic Association, or the Osaka government. I just want my brother to no longer suffer the pain of the East Guard Pavilion!"

Seeing this, Lin Chen was slightly taken aback, he understood that Mochizuki Chika had already fallen for it.

Since that was the case, Lin Chen changed his mind and immediately said, "Do as you wish!"

Mochizuki Chika said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you for helping me. After my brother is released, I will definitely abide by the bet!"

Leaving the East Guard Pavilion was not difficult. The entire East Guard Pavilion did not have many guards. Outsiders could never enter. To ensure it was closed and tight enough, even those guards who had been knocked unconscious would only be discovered during the next shift change. So Lin Chen and Mochizuki Chika returned the way they came.

After going down the mountain, Mochizuki Chika hurriedly ran towards Osaka City. Lin Chen would certainly not let her leave alone, he followed closely behind.

Although the pearl was a little terrifying, it did not affect Lin Chen in the slightest!

… …

The newest novels are at 69shuba!

The bright moonlight was hidden in the dark clouds at some unknown time, the night sky was pitch black, and even the starlight had disappeared.

Even in the late night, the bustling city of Osaka was still brightly lit and flourishing. The neon lights scattered into the sky did not reflect the orange-red color of the night sky as usual, but were absorbed by the thick darkness!

Lin Chen quickly saw that Mochizuki Chika had become unrecognizable, completely different from her original appearance. She was actually a terrifying black shadow with scarlet eyes and covered in ghostly tendrils.

The black shadow only had a torso, no head, and had centipede-like arms distributed on both sides of the body, lined up and dancing, thick and strong.

The most frightening thing was that the monster's chest was covered with scarlet eyes, all eyeballs without eye sockets, each eyeball wriggling, staring at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, full of resentment and coldness.

Mochizuki Chika turned around, revealing such a ghostly appearance, instantly scaring everyone into fleeing and crawling, even those driving on the road were so frightened that they could not hold the steering wheel!

Seeing that the black shadow was about to go mad recklessly, Lin Chen immediately came behind Mochizuki Chika and shouted loudly, "Stop!"

"It's you?" Mochizuki Chika said looking at him, but her eyes were not friendly.

Lin Chen recovered some of his emotions and said loudly, "Look at what you've done!"

"I…" Mochizuki Chika obviously retained some reason. She scanned her surroundings, found crowds running away, found girls screaming, and several children were also frightened and crying.
