What Yue had said was quite reasonable .

No matter what the evil spirit was thinking, they just had to act at their own pace .

There were indeed gods that had great wisdom as vast as the sea . They could infer the enemy’s overall plan from a little trace, and come up with specific solutions to fight against the enemy . However, these guys were not gods .

Thus, they had to solve the problem in an honest and practical way, just as the mortals did—that was to move forward steadily and safely and do what they were supposed to .

After the discussion, they continued to move forward .

As they approached closer, the priest found that the cry was much clearer . After a while, the paladin and the mage heard it, too . Later, even the knight and the warrior heard the cry .

“How annoying!” the warrior muttered discontentedly . “It makes me feel anxious!”

“Is there someone in danger that needs help?” the knight listened for a moment and said worriedly . “Let’s go and take a look . ”

“Sir, how could anyone in this place need help?” The paladin sighed . “Look at the ground, please . Besides the footprints we left behind, are there any signs of other people walking around?”

The knight looked carefully on the ground for a moment and shook his head .

“That’s it . According to our footprints, this place hasn’t been visited for at least two or three months,” the paladin said . “Suppose someone has been locked up here without eating or drinking for two or three months, they would have died . ”

“Even if they were still alive, they wouldn’t have the strength to cry so loudly,” the warrior added .

“Maybe there’s food and water in this place…” the knight guessed .

“Don’t be silly, Captain . Who would prepare food and water for the prisoners? This isn’t a meditation in seclusion for the clergyman . ” Even the priest could not help laughing .

After some careful thoughts, the knight realized his idea was ridiculous . He laughed bitterly and shook his head . “Sorry, when I hear the sad cry of others, I always want to help . ”

“There’s nothing to apologize for . ” The warrior laughed and patted him on the shoulder . “Just because you are such a person, I decided to put down my hoe and carry a weapon on an adventure with you . ”

“Yes, Captain, you’re a good man . It’s something that you can feel proud of no matter where you are . There’s nothing to apologize for . ” Yue nodded in agreement .

Wherever it was, a good man always deserved more trust and support from others .

After that, they continued to move forward as they had planned . At first, they went towards the same direction as the cry, but later on, they went far from it .

If one listened carefully, one could roughly tell that the cry came from a room in the middle of the third floor . But now, they were searching the second floor slowly without any intention of going upstairs to save someone .

Perhaps the evil spirit was also anxious, and later the cry became wired, and its direction also changed .

“What? The direction of the cry has changed . ” The paladin was the one most sensitive ones to direction, so she frowned and told the others this as soon as she found out .

“Never mind,” Yue sneered . “No matter what this guy did, he just wants to deceive us to go there . As long as we stay here, there’s nothing he can do to us!”

“But… That cry is approaching us slowly!” the paladin said worriedly . “It’s approaching above our heads . ”

Yue frowned and looked up at the ceiling .

The evil spirit was a kind of virtual creature, and this virtual creature could penetrate ordinary physical obstacles—the ceiling was naturally included .

Did the evil spirit want to attack them from the ceiling?

She thought about it carefully and shook her head in secret .

It was unreasonable . If the evil spirit really dared to attack them in public, it wouldn’t have waited until now .

She did not know that originally, the previous adventurers had been attacked by evil spirits in the same position where they were now .

It was almost in the center of the castle . There was not enough light, especially on the other side of the window . It was blocked by the tower, and the sunshine couldn’t come in .

For evil spirits, this place was almost the most suitable place to fight in the daytime .

Yue didn’t know that, but she quickly made a decision .

“Withdraw!” She cried out, “Whatever the reason, withdraw first! Safety goes first!”

Everyone turned their heads and began to run without any hesitation . The evil spirit had never expected the adventurers to run so decisively, so he kept chasing after them . But it was too late . Before he could reach the top of their heads, they had retreated to the stairs and ran straight to the basement lobby .

Seeing that they were about to escape, the evil spirit was filled with anger . He uttered a scream, and, in spite of anything, he launched a special skill .

An illusion!

At this moment, the paladin, running in the front, was about to walk down the stairs, but with a flash, she found the scenery around her had changed suddenly . Instead of the stairs leading to the lobby, she was in a very luxurious guest room now, and there was the cry of a woman coming from the concealed door .

“What’s going on?” She was so frightened that she did not dare to open the door . She retreated quickly and ran into the priest by accident .

The priest was not attacked by the illusion, but he had never expected that the paladin would suddenly go back and run into him . He was distracted by their collision and was immediately caught by the illusion .

Following him was the warrior, who was not mentally strong either, and naturally, he was attacked .

The knight managed to keep himself from the illusion for a while, but just for a while . When he saw that everyone stopped in front of him, he could not help thinking what happened—when he was thinking, he was also caught by the illusion .

In the illusion, the four of them found that they were standing alone in front of a luxurious room where the weird cry came from . They didn’t know what to do .

This was the most powerful skill of evil spirits—creating an illusion to drag the enemy into it . As long as the enemy was strongly stimulated and mentally shaken, they would be badly injured and might even expose their mental weakness . Then the evil spirit could directly possess the enemy’s body .

As the four of them were all caught in the illusion, a transparent grey figure fell slowly from the ceiling not far away and stared at them coldly . But it didn’t rush over to them because there was still one that had a clear mind .

Yue looked around warily and did not dare to be careless . Although she was not dragged into the illusion, she also clearly felt a mental attack from the evil spirit . Seeing her companions stop and their eyes become dull, how could she not realize what was going on?

Feeling that there was someone behind her, she slowly turned back and saw the evil spirit looking at her coldly .

“It’s crazy that you dare to come out in the daytime,” she sneered and said without fear .

Naturally, the evil spirit would not chat with her . He made a deep roar to frighten the girl who had not been dragged into the illusion .

Then he met with a white light from Yue’s palm .

It was Yue’s magic, the Frozen Rays .

This magic had weak power, and it could freeze a teacup or make an ordinary person who lacked exercise tremble violently and feel cold all over their body . If an ordinary person were attacked by this spell two or three times in a row, they could also be knocked down or even killed .

But for the evil spirit, its power was far from enough . It was absolutely impossible to knock down an evil spirit without twenty or thirty times of trying .

However, the spell could only be used five times in total .

Fortunately, the evil spirit knew nothing about that . He only knew that he had been attacked, and although the attack was not powerful, he could still get injured .

So he suddenly became scared and angry, gave out a crazy roar, and rushed to Yue .

This is what I was waiting for!

Yue was not nervous at all . She took off the locust sword hanging around her waist . Meanwhile, she spoke a curse out loud .

It was a super magic skill, Combat Spell-Casting .

This was definitely not something that a trainee mage could perform . In fact, without special training, many advanced mages could not perform such a spell while fighting .

This was one of the best skills of a Magic Bomber . As an extreme battle mage who needed to run and fight while casting spells, a Magic Bomber had practiced Combat Spell-Casting to a more perfect level . From this, it even developed a special, super magic skill, enabling the Magic Bomber to fight with the enemy in full swing while casting spells smoothly .

As a student of Felix and as the most outstanding Magic Bomber in the world, Yue had also learned this necessary skill . Moreover, she had learned it very well .

It was impossible for her to cast some complicated spells, but it would be no problem for her to cast an easy flashing spell .

When she and the evil spirit were about to fight with each other, she shouted suddenly, and her right hand lit up .

The evil spirit had never expected there to be such a mage, so it was too late for him to run away . He was dazzled at the strong light and unconsciously stopped the illusion . The four adventurers were then released from the mental attack .

The next moment, the strong-willed priest first escaped from the illusion . His eyes became clear again, and he heard that Yue was fighting with the evil spirit .

Without hesitation, he immediately lifted the Holy Emblem of the Goddess of Fortune and performed the best skill of the priest—the Dispersal Spell .

Theoretically, the Dispersal Spell of the priest could dispel many things, from demons to all kinds of negative magic . It could even dispel the bad luck in life . But for this trainee priest, his spell had only one effect: dispel the evil spirit .

The golden light suddenly lit up, turned into a circle and spread out to the surroundings, covering both Yue and the evil spirit who were in fighting inside it .

The white smoke arose from the evil spirit’s body, and he began to roar angrily . This Dispersal Spell did not hurt him badly; it made him angrier .

At the same time, however, the power of the Dispersal Spell had also helped the other three companions to completely escape from the illusion and regain consciousness .

Without saying a word, the paladin took out the bottle of divine water and rushed towards the evil spirit . The divine water had to be poured on the head of the evil spirit, so it had been given to her for she was good at throwing things to certain places .

She knew that the divine water had limited power, so she had to make sure it was poured on the target .

As for the warrior and the knight, without others’ order, they rushed to the left and right side of the evil spirits separately to limit its movement with their bodies . On the one hand, they wanted to rescue their mage, but on the other hand, they wanted to have an appropriate position for the paladin to attack .

These were all strategies that had been discussed in advance . They even rehearsed it several times this morning in order to make sure that they could cooperate well in this set of attack and to kill the evil spirit quickly .

It had been proved that the pre-training was very useful .

The evil spirit was caught between the two of them . Their attacks were supposed to have little effect on him, but the two of them took out the pendant that could provide slight protection from the mental attacks, and they threw the pendant on the evil spirit .

The pendant gave off an unpleasant odor that the evil spirit hated, and that slowed it down in action .

At that moment, the paladin had rushed to the front of the evil spirit, pulled out the cork of the bottle, and poured almost all the divine water on it .
