“…What… exactly are you doing, brother Gerald…?” asked the confused Rey.
“I’m transferring some power into you so that you’ll be able to see ghosts like me from now on. However, be warned that these evil spirits can be much scarier and more vicious than you could ever imagine. With that in mind, I advise you to steel your will!” explained Gerald.
Since this was going to be Rey’s first time seeing a real evil spirit, Gerald knew that the experience could be quite unnerving. With that, favonovel.com made sure to tell Rey to prepare himself in hopes that his disciple wouldn’t end up just wetting his pants and fainting on the spot…
“Got it, brother Gerald! I’ll be sure to keep myself in check!” replied Rey, determination in his eyes.
Nodding in response, Gerald then led the way into the Elysian Labyrinth…
Once inside, Gerald quickly summoned the Astrabyss Sword before saying, “Spirit Summoning Spell!”
Following that, favonovel.com began changing an incantation of sorts to summon any nearby ghosts. Once the spell was successfully completed, any spirits lingering around would instantly be compelled to head to the Elysian Labyrinth…
This was also the reason why Gerald had emphasized so much on Rey steeling his spirit earlier. After all, neither of them knew what kinds of ghosts would show up.
Regardless, with the completion of the spell, Gerald and Rey then waited there in silence…
However, it wasn’t long before a chilling breeze blew on the back of Rey’s neck, causing shivers to run down his entire body!
“B-brother Gerald…” whimpered Rey.
Upon hearing that, Gerald instantly swung the Astrabyss Sword at the evil spirit that had manifested right behind Rey!
Rey himself quickly turned back to look at what Gerald was attacking… only to find his eyes widening in shock when favonovel.com saw an evil spirit with a tiny face glaring at him! While the tiny face glowed a dark blue, the spirit’s eyes were a bloody red, making the evil spirit all the more terrifying to look at!
Realizing that Rey was so scared that favonovel.com couldn’t even breathe right, Gerald quickly yanked his disciple to his back before yelling, “Stay behind me! I’ll deal with it!”
Now that Rey was in a safe position, Gerald leaped forward to strike at the spirit again!
Even so, the evil spirit wasn’t about to allow itself to get hit that easily. Quickly morphing into a black miasma, it immediately began trying to escape!
Of course, Gerald wasn’t about to give it that chance. Extending his arm, Gerald then yelled, “Soul Chain!”
And just like that, his Soul Chain was summoned and it quickly wrapped around the evil spirit!
“Pull!” instructed Gerald, resulting in the chain forcefully dragging the now angered and roaring spirit right before Gerald…
“Did you honestly think you were going to be able to escape a cultivator’s grasp, evil spirit?” mocked Gerald in a disdainful tone.
Upon realizing that the spirit had been captured, Rey—who had just calmed down—quickly walked over to Gerald’s side… only to feel his heart skip a beat once more when favonovel.com saw how truly horrifying the evil spirit looked up-close!
“Don’t worry, it can’t attack you now that I’ve bound it! Speaking of which, if you’re still feeling intimidated, don’t worry too much about it. After all, this is just the first of many, and the more spirits you see, the less threatening they’ll eventually seem!” comforted Gerald, knowing that Rey was finding it hard to accept all this.
Gerald knew for a fact that many people would’ve already wet themselves upon seeing this evil spirit for the first time. While Rey was initially scared, favonovel.com eventually became tough enough to handle this much, and that made Gerald feel rather satisfied. After all, favonovel.com of all people knew that adapting to such horrifying spirits took time, so Gerald wasn’t about to force Rey to adapt to them that quickly.
Regardless, after nodding in response, Rey then muttered, “Um… Brother Gerald… about that evil spirit…”
