Chapter 46: Soul and Wraith!

Thank you [AddictiveSage] for your gift – Massage Chair (^_^)

———-

Seeing the wisp of fog before her, Selina jolted.

Not only Selina, but Nanoe and Rover were also caught off guard. They had never expected the first wraith-like monster they encountered to be Billy.

At this moment, he was like a semi-transparent plume of smoke, his body floating in midair, with other twisted faces writhing on him like demonic masks.

“Selina… you… you killed me…” Billy opened his mouth. From within it, disgusting tentacles stretched out, his voice broken, as if something were lodged in his throat.

He glanced at Rover, then at Selina, his face contorting with hatred. “You all have to die, you filthy bitch… you… you have to die. I’ll fuse you into me, hahahaha…”

“Fuse! Fuse!”

“Fuse!”

The distorted faces on Billy’s body also let out strange voices, eerie and shrill.

Selina gritted her teeth, her hand tightening around the sword as she slashed out an arc of sword light.

WHOOSH!

A howling gust rang out. The crescent-shaped sword light, glowing faintly like moonlight, shot toward Billy, yet…

BAM!

The sword light passed straight through his body, slammed into the wall behind, and exploded.

Billy laughed in contempt. “Hahahaha… Selina, don’t resist… become one with me… just like before… be my slave… be my dog…”

“You bastard!” Selina’s fury flared, her eyes turning red. She was about to attack again, but a large, warm hand settled on her shoulder.

Selina startled and looked at Rover. “Master…”

Rover smiled. “Leave it to me.”

Warmth flooded Selina’s heart. She nodded lightly.

Billy saw Rover, his face twisting with rage. “Bastard… you stole my dog… I’ll tear you into…”

WHOOSH!

A chain shot toward Billy while he was still talking.

Billy sneered at the chain, because he knew that in this state, no one could hit him, and no one could make him feel pain.

But…

SMASH!

“AGH!!”

The chain pierced through Billy’s mouth and stabbed out the back of his neck, forcing him to howl in agony. The faces on his body screamed miserably as well, the shrill sound like wind whistling through stone cracks.

“No… impossible… why… why…” Billy muttered.

Rover laughed in contempt. “Idiot. You think turning into a soul means I can’t kill you?”

“No! Impossible!”

His body grew fainter, but that was not a sign of him dissipating. Rather, it seemed like he was trying to flee.

“Trying to run? Too late.” Rover sneered.

He flicked his hand. The chain flared with a pale golden light, wrapping tightly around Billy’s body, squeezing harder and harder.

“AGH!!! Bastard… I… will… kill… you…”

“Kill… him…”

“It hurts… it hurts…”

“Save… it hurts…”

“Ha… ha…”

The faces on Billy’s body also screamed, contorting so violently that their features warped out of place. No, more precisely, they were melting, like magma.

The chain tightened further. Billy’s body was like a balloon cinched by a cord, ready to burst at any moment.

Rover frowned and said, “Billy, you died too easily before. So now, I’ll torture you a little. After all, you took such good care of my woman back then, so I need to thank you properly.”

“You… bastard… damn you…” Billy rasped, his voice breaking, his face swelling because the chain was also wrapped tightly around his neck.

“Alright.” Rover smiled in contempt. “I’m just messing with you. You’re like a pig anyway, torturing you has no meaning. After you die, later on, I’ll keep killing until I get to your father.”

“No! No!!!” Billy screamed, but right after that…

BOOM!!!

A small explosion rang out. Billy’s body blew apart, turning into countless transparent wisps of smoke, then completely dissipating into the air.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully killed 7 normal souls and 1 Wraith, and obtained 105 omnipotent points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully killed 7 normal souls and 1 Wraith, and obtained 7 free attribute points.]

Rover’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief as he stared at the notification panel.

What the hell is this? Killing 7 normal souls and 1 wraith instantly gave him 105 omnipotent points and 7 free attribute points.

One normal soul was equivalent to 10 omnipotent points and 0.5 free attribute points.

This was not a challenge, this was a resource mine. No, more precisely, this was a mine of omnipotent points and free attribute points.

’No! I have to go out quickly. If those Survivors kill off all these souls, I won’t be able to harvest much.’

Even though souls did not drop anything after death aside from the game’s currency, as long as they provided this many omnipotent points and free attribute points, that was enough.

But…

Rover glanced at the door, feeling a bit worried, because those souls could pass through the door and enter the room.

He looked at Nanoe and Selina and immediately said, “You two come with me.”

Nanoe and Selina naturally understood what he was going to do. They immediately nodded and laid out all the items in the backpack outside.

After emptying the backpack, Rover led them outside.

The moment the door opened, a group of souls charged straight at Rover.

He snorted in disdain and lightly flicked his hand.

Clink clink! Clink clink!

The sound of the chain rang out. It then moved like a snake, piercing through the souls charging at Rover.

[Ding! You have successfully killed 17 souls, and obtained 170 omnipotent points and 8.5 attribute points.]

[Total free attribute points currently: 15.5 points.]

Rover said softly, “Add 15 points into [Spirit].”

[Points added successfully. Your attributes are now: Physique 19 | Spirit: 44]

Rover felt his Spirit increase noticeably, and his excitement surged even higher.

At that moment, the souls, seeing Rover kill them so easily, immediately retreated, staring at him in fear.

BAM!

Suddenly, a loud impact echoed as the door to room 2703 was forced open violently.

Leng Yan was holding the body of a girl in one hand, but the girl seemed to be dead. A large spike was embedded in her chest, piercing straight through, and fresh blood was still flowing out.

She lifted the girl’s corpse with one hand. A soul lunged at Leng Yan, but she immediately raised the corpse in front of her.

That soul touched the corpse, making it twitch slightly, but Leng Yan did not wait. She moved a finger, and a sharp spike about 20cm long stabbed into the corpse girl’s head.

“AGH!!!” A miserable scream burst from the girl’s mouth, then she stopped moving.

Seeing this, Rover was stunned, murmuring, “There’s even a way to kill souls like this?”

He truly admired Leng Yan. As expected of a level 2 Survivor, not only her adaptability, but also her coldness and ruthlessness were enough to let her go farther in this terrifying game.

Leng Yan held the girl’s corpse high in front of herself, her face breaking into a cruel smile. The souls saw this and retreated in fear.

This floor seemed to have no souls daring to enter. They were basically all scared off by Rover and Leng Yan.

However, Rover was not afraid, because the skill [Intuition] was telling him that Leng Yan had no hostile intent toward him. On the contrary, that woman seemed to be developing interest and a bit of friendliness toward him.

Leng Yan glanced at Rover and smiled seductively. “Rover?”

Rover nodded and said softly, “Thank you for helping me earlier.”

“Hahahaha…” Leng Yan laughed. “No need to thank me. Even if I didn’t help you, that idiot still wouldn’t have been your opponent. Besides… thanks for your useful information.”

After speaking, Leng Yan did not stay long. Carrying the girl’s corpse, she began killing the souls, heading up to the higher floors.

Rover shook his head and did not think too much. His goal right now was only one thing, to kill as many souls as possible.

“You two stay close behind me,” Rover said softly to Seina and Nanoe.

They nodded, knowing that in this event, they could not help him at all.

GRAO!!

Suddenly, a piercing roar rang out.

The souls that Rover had forced toward the stairwell going down suddenly became frightened, but then, like wisps of smoke, were pulled toward the lower floor.

“What?!” Rover was shocked by what he saw. With the help of [Intuition], he seemed to sense something very powerful, very evil approaching.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

A sound like wind whistling through hundreds of rock crevices rang out, both shrill and making Rover’s head sting a little.

But Nanoe and Selina were worse. They immediately collapsed to the ground, both hands covering their ears, faces twisted, teeth clenched from the intense headache.

At that moment, Rover’s eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing.

No, that was no longer within the category of something that could be called a creature.

“What the hell is that?!”
