Chapter 169: Chapter 124: King of Summoning

"Is the fire extinguished?"

The two were startled at the same time, but in the next moment, the flames quickly returned, dispelling the shadows and their deep-seated panic as well.

"Guardian Fire Sacrificial Ground!"

Beowood suddenly realized.

"Let’s head to the Guardian Fire Sacrificial Ground first!"

The two hurried to the center of the fortress, followed by the wood puppet.

On their way there, the flames extinguished several times, as if someone had drawn the curtains, but they came back to life in moments.

Combatants also gathered from various directions; the more people there were, the more at ease they felt.

The crowd quickly reached the central hall on the third floor of the fortress, where intense flashes and roaring sounds accompanied strong spiritual power fluctuations.

An intense battle was taking place in the hall.

From a distance, Rod saw many white evil spirits and many familiar soul waveforms, Steel Hand, Dark Fish, Dark Leaf, Bach, Mo’er, and others were all here.

The room of the Guardian Fire Sacrificial Ground was completely enveloped in an orange-yellow mist, and part of the evil spirits was furiously slamming into it.

Suddenly, Rod saw a massive presence, its soul meandering formlessly like a vast shadow permeating the space, contracting toward the Guardian Fire Sacrificial Ground and enveloping over the yellow mist.

In an instant, the firelight dimmed again, shadows engulfed the world, the evil spirits became extremely ferocious, all except for Steel Hand, who stood firm in the midst of the evil spirits’ encirclement, unmoved.

When Rod charged into the hall, fresh reinforcements were already fighting the evil spirits.

A dazzling Moonlight Giant Arrow shot past, striking directly at the mass of shadows and shooting it down from the room of the Guardian Fire Sacrificial Ground.

The fire illuminated the fortress once again.

Mo’er shouted, "First, eliminate the giant evil spirit! The power of the fire is losing!"

Steel Hand yelled, "I’ll hold them back! Dark Fish, Reslin, support me!"

As Rod sensed the Justice Star, it was still dim, and "Justice Execution" could only be used once every two days, and the time had not yet come.

Without the "Spiritual Energy Quartet," Rod could not deal damage to very strong monsters.

He saw a large number of combatants attack the giant evil spirit and turned to intercept the evil spirits.

These "Fallen Evil Spirits" were much stronger than Rod, and they used sneak attacks, always striking from the ground, overhead, or behind.

But positioned at the forefront, Reslin and Dark Fish had the "Barrier" characteristic, and their backs were the toughest; all they needed to do was guard their feet and heads with spiritual energy.

Steel Hand’s characteristic was "Hardened Spiritual Energy"; his spiritual defense was very strong, holding back a large group of evil spirits on his own.

Meanwhile, Rod had the Eye of the Soul, and knowing their tactics meant he could no longer be ambushed.

Then there was the wood puppet.

It was naturally the nemesis of the evil spirits; its wooden branches could absorb spiritual bodies. Once an evil spirit got entangled by it, it could no longer break free. Rod took advantage of this to shoot at close range, exposing their weaknesses and following up with a hit from the "Spiritual Power Burst," thereby eliminating them.

Rod gradually moved inward from the edge of the battlefield.

But the situation on the main battlefield was very dire; the evil spirits were too numerous, nearly overwhelming Steel Hand and others and spreading backward, severely affecting their key attack position, Bach.

A thought struck Rod; he remembered he had many soul ashes on him, which might be incredibly effective.

He took out a piece of "Brain-eating Demon’s Soul Ashes," infused it with spiritual energy, and threw it into the crowd of evil spirits.

Accompanied by a Spiritual Light, a giant, gray brain appeared amid the evil spirits, and from below the brain spread many organs resembling intestines.

Dark Leaf exclaimed, "A brain-eating demon? How did it get here?"

Mo’er was even more stunned, "Brain-eating demons and evil spirits are both Half-Spirit Realm creatures, but their characteristics conflict! They should not appear in the same area!"

Before the words ended, the brain-eating demon began viciously attacking the evil spirits, and its intestines wildly flailed, entangling any evil spirit it touched and attempting to devour them.

The evil spirits were enraged, and a large number of them turned to attack the brain-eating demon.

A great battle between humans, monsters, and monsters unfolded before their eyes.

Dark Leaf joyfully said, "Great! Quick, focus attacks to eliminate the giant evil spirit!"

Mo’er’s eyes filled with confusion, "Is that even possible?"

"Forget about it, Professor Mo’er, just eliminate the giant evil spirit first!"

The crowd fiercely attacked the giant evil spirit, which seemed non-aggressive, merely drifting near the Guardian Fire Sacrificial Ground as if searching for an opportunity, but its soul was exceedingly tough, not easy to eliminate in a short time.

The brain-eating demon’s frenzy didn’t last long before it was torn into pieces by the evil spirits.

As they were about to rush again, Rod took out another "Brain-eating Demon’s Soul Ashes" and threw it over.

The moment it appeared, Rod sensed its presence in his mind.

"Another brain-eating demon!"

Dark Leaf happily said, "Everyone, attack with all your might! This is the best opportunity!"

"Why is there another one?" Mo’er in disbelief, "Did it drift over from the Spirit Realm? Why would it specifically come here?"

"Don’t worry about it, Professor Mo’er!"

The second brain-eating demon also didn’t last long, the evil spirits, seemingly furious at its presence, not only tore it into pieces but also devoured its remnants.

Rod simply threw the remaining six soul ashes altogether.

When six brain-eating demons appeared on the battlefield, all the evil spirits, as if provoked, flew over to attack them.
