Mysterious as the wind, always with me

Chapter 49

[Mechanical Ascension] is quietly moored on a small dock outside the city.

The pier belongs to the secret estate of the Mischul family.

The farm laborers inside only know that there is a butler who manages them on behalf of the big boss, and they have never seen the big boss who 'went to study in Victoria'.

Back on the boat, feeling the gentle fluctuations of the water waves, Mark was in a daze in front of the magic circle at the bottom of the bilge.

Everything is ready.

The enchanting eyes of strange demons.

Iolite blessed by the Storm Priest.

The golden five-leaf clover recast with the blessing of the goddess of wealth.

……

A total of seven strange offerings were placed on a white jade altar the size of a small stool.

Surrounding the altar is a magic circle drawn on a large round table with the blood of high-level alien beasts.

On the surface, there are four patterns in the magic circle: a strange four-winged bird fluttering its wings, a giant two-headed snake winding above a big tree, a hellhound covered in flames, and a typical devil .

If you take a closer look, you will find that these patterns are all composed of extremely complex and exquisite magic runes.The magic circle is scarlet as a whole, very eye-catching
The difficulty contained in this cannot be described simply by the workload.

Blood will coagulate, and such a complex pattern must be completed almost in one go before the blood coagulates, and it is impossible to do it without sufficient skills.

Luckily there was Helena.

The basic painting skills of this high-level craftsman are absolutely excellent.

Under the round table is the purification circle of the Light God Sect.

It looks like a cathedral as strong as a fortress.

Under normal circumstances, this magic circle will not be activated, only after catching a demon...

It is below, superimposed with the summoning circle to form a three-dimensional magic circle.

On the outside of the double-layer magic circle, a bone machete was randomly inserted into a wooden box.

Everything is ready, only the core is waiting.

Just as Mark was about to enter the battle, Minnie, who had turned into a puppet, stopped him.

"For the first time...you don't...go."

Well, Mark wouldn't want to risk his life if he had a choice.

"But Minnie, if I don't go, how can there be an excellent soul to attract the attention of demons?"

Miss Puppet's wooden finger sweeps from left to right across the room.

Originally Mark thought she was going to let Helena go, and was trying to help reject her, because Helena's soul strength was not high.A high-level craftsman's understanding of extraordinary power is sometimes not as good as a mysterious apprentice.After all, the core strength of Mechanicus artisans is mechanical knowledge, and extraordinary power is only incidental.

Unexpectedly, Minnie pointed at the little Bison girl with a face full of melons.

"Ah? Wait! Me!?" Baisen jumped out excitedly, no longer in the form of a pillow that saves energy consumption, and when her spirit body is solid enough, she looks no different from a real girl.

"Yes, your...soul...is very fragrant!"

"No, no, no! I absolutely don't want it! Why do you think I became [abnormal]? It's because my bastard dad made some demons and strange monsters at home all day, which scared me!" Like medicine, he shook his head frantically.

"Why... your wish is... to go on a big adventure with a handsome guy..."

Don't look at Minnie as if she can't speak, but if she speaks, it's a killer!
Byson Chick's face is broken.

Fear, the result practiced a hidden skill.

She is true to herself and yearns for adventure.

This character is a typical fear of death and death.

was said.

Baisen looked as if he had been hit by a bolt from the blue, kneeling softly, performing a standard frustrated forward bending action ORZ.

At this time, Mark said: "Cough! Byson, you don't have to do it if you are afraid. I originally planned to do it myself."

This time, Mark really didn't intend to cheat Byson.

If nothing else, it was a surprise.

Byson originally planned to go downhill, but at this moment, she caught a glimpse of Miss Helena who was looking at Mark with concern, and couldn't help feeling envious: Although her face was occasionally stained with engine oil and she held a wrench all day, she is so beautiful!Good figure!
Bison Chick looked at her figure that was like two straight lines, and she felt a strange desire to win.

snort!You can't help Mark, I can!

Bison slapped the steel plate of the ship's bulkhead: "Hmph! Who said I'm afraid! I'll show you right now!"

Not long after, an ethereal fuzzy sound came from the chaotic spirit world, floating out from the illusory boundary between reality and the spirit world.

"Woohoo! Damn it, that woman dared to bully me like this!"

"Is there anyone who will help me avenge me!"

"Come here! Anyone is welcome."

If a normal person hears the timid, delicate and immature voice, they will probably be angry and have a faint desire to protect.

With demons it's a different story.

That pure, petite soul that faintly reveals blemishes is simply a clear demon—something has come to the door.

In this world where mysterious power manifests, every year, curious mortals inadvertently get a complete or incomplete summoning circle and perform fancy deaths.

Not to mention the cultists who deliberately seduce the strange demons for their own use.

In the bottom cabin of the [Mechanical Ascension], Mark, Minnie, Byson, and Helena were all fully armed, watching a disgusting wave of blood on the inner blood circle.

The wave is illusory and translucent at first, and it floats in the air 5cm above the spirit summoning circle.

Immediately, the blood wave became more and more real.

Everyone could clearly see a vague, orangutan-like face protruding from the blood wave.

The orangutan's face looked like a robber in stockings at first, the eyes, ears, mouth and nose were skewed to a certain extent, and as the face continued to protrude bloody waves, the facial features became more and more clear.

It stretched out two ape arms nearly two meters in length, easily broke free from the blood wave, and jumped out completely.

For the first time, it saw the pitiful silver-haired little girl trembling in the mist.

"Hey! Little girl! Who is your enemy? Tell me her name, and my brother will help you deal with her, but the price... that is your soul."

Sure enough, the little girl screamed: "Come on! There are perverts here!"

In the next moment, the orangutan demon only felt a blur in front of his eyes.

Where is the soul of a little girl?
A bright golden light suddenly rose from under its feet, sucking its legs like a vortex.

Not only that, a large bundle of spiritual threads flew from nowhere and bound its body tightly.

It opened its mouth, wanting to scream.

At this moment, while the other party was struggling, a huge war hammer crashed down.

Then there is no more.

"Huh!" Mark breathed a sigh of relief, the first seduction was quite successful.

At least without him shooting.

Even if you use holy light bullets, you shouldn't shoot in such a place surrounded by metal walls.Who knows where the bullet will bounce off.

Looking at the body of the strange spirit plasma splashing everywhere, Helena, who was driving the mecha, threw it into the circle of light without Mark calling and it was over.

Helena changed to a set of mechs.

To say it is a mech is actually a bit inappropriate.Of course, Helena herself can't drive a three-meter-high mecha.The principle of this thing is that the mechanical lever replaces the skeleton of the mech, and then uses the spiritual muscle and tendon of the strange demon as the medium for transmitting the action.

Unlike the exoskeleton systems on Earth, this is powered purely by the sinew tendons.

Since the spirit and flesh of the strange demon will dissipate, so every time a period of time has to be replaced, the loss is really great.

Under the watchful eyes of the four of them, the body of this strange demon just now began to be disintegrated by the circle of light.

Golden Light!

Just like cooking squid, a large amount of stinky slurry is discharged from the body of the strange demon. These turbid impurities and secretions cannot affect Mark and the others. As soon as they escape, they are taken by another spirit world prepared in advance in the magic circle. The channel is sucked away.

Streams of golden light poured on the strange demon's remnant body, and its originally huge body shrunk rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

More turbid ectoplasm is separated and discharged into the void of the spirit world.

This chain purification process somehow reminded Mark of the water filtration in the previous waterworks.

After some operations, what was left in the end was only a little finger-sized, yellow crystal of spirit matter.

"Just swallow it like this?" Mark was slightly suspicious.

"Yes." Helena sighed: "Whether it is the Mechanicus or the Church of Light and Night, the operation of purifying spiritual matter is similar. This is already the cleanest purification circle I have ever seen. My father used It’s not as good as before, and his excessive stubbornness and occasional insanity may be related to the lack of purity of the ectoplasm he swallowed.”

Mark obeyed, and swallowed the spirit crystal in one gulp.

"Boom-"

Instead of making a sound in reality, it was a huge roar erupting from his own soul space, which shocked Mark dizzily and his hands and feet were so weak.

He couldn't support his exhausted body, and was about to fall to the ground in embarrassment. Suddenly, a soft but strong, and a cold wooden arm supported his arm, one left and one right.

There was a lot going on around him, it seemed like he was being lifted up and the back of his head seemed to be resting on some throw pillow.

Mark didn't care so much, and vaguely, he seemed to feel countless voices shouting in his ears.

Listen carefully, each one is actually his own voice.

If there were too many voices, it would become noises like hallucinations, intertwined and mixed with each other, constantly disturbing his mind.

In fact, he is not unfamiliar with this scene. He had a similar experience when he pretended to be Mr. Yinhe.

He quickly blocked a lot of voices, which made it easier.

But he found out right away that it wasn't going to work.

Because every voice is his.

If you want your soul to be stronger, you need to expand, and you need to thicken the boundaries of your soul world.

This feeling is like forcibly dismantling one's own soul, which was originally only the size of an egg, and then filling the soul matter between the eggshells to make it a bigger eggshell.

Now what Mark has to do is to turn the eggs into goose eggs.
