Chapter 273 Illusion and Backstab

Bruno kept looking at Ethan up and down, as if he wanted to see what was special about Ethan, but no matter how he looked at it, he was just a very ordinary young man, no different from many young adventurers.

To put it differently... It seems that this young man does not have any magic stone equipment on his body, which is really incredible. In the absence of magic stone equipment, he can still do so many things. How did he do it?

"Because of that long stick?"

He suspected that the long stick in Ethan's hand was a very special piece of magic stone equipment, and even Lord Beckford's Death Castle could not block its power, so this young man was able to do so many amazing things.

"if……"

Just when Bruno was about to say something, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, then strangled his neck fiercely, and a holy energy blade jumped out from Bruno's body. .

"you……"

Bruno, whose kidneys were severely hit, felt that all his strength was draining, and he didn't even have the strength to speak. He opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end, no sound came out, and he fell to the ground so softly.

When Bruno collapsed to the ground, everyone could clearly see that it was Ethan who gave Bruno the fatal blow.

Logan turned his head and glanced at the place where Ethan had been standing before, and found that there was also an Ethan standing there, but it was slowly dissipating-obviously, this was the phantom left by Ethan.

"No wonder Loki likes this trick so much. Sometimes it really works."

At the moment when Bruno appeared, Ethan silently performed an illusion. After leaving an image of himself in place, he quietly came behind Bruno, and when the guy was about to say something, he gave it to him neatly. He backstabbed.

Logan has been on his ship for a long time, and Ethan has learned a lot of practical skills from Logan, an experienced fighter, including where to attack from behind to kill with one hit, especially the kidney attack. It was specially made to work hard.

As for what Bruno wanted to say? He didn't bother to listen at all. The current situation couldn't be clearer. This guy was obviously a spy arranged by Beckford. When all of Beckford's arrangements failed, this 'loyal' subordinate finally He stood up and faced Ethan and the others.

Ethan didn't know whether he came out to fight him and others to the death or something else, but since he was sure that he was the enemy, he would just do it first.

"What a pity my battle cross."

The battle cross in his hand was smoking black smoke. After Ethan backstabbed Bruno just now, he found that the negative energy in this guy's body was astonishingly large. The energy blade of the battle cross was corroded, and even affected the battle cross. 's body.

He tried to use the holy light to expel or purify it, but the blessing at the seaside consumed too much holy light, and the remaining holy light energy could not remove the negative energy that invaded the interior.

It's not that there is no other way to 'save' this weapon, but that would waste a lot of time and energy, not to mention that this battle cross has gradually been unable to keep up with his needs, and simply let this weapon erode and destroy - and There is no such thing as a fallen battle cross. The huge negative energy directly destroyed the internal structure of the weapon. Now he is still intact on the surface, but in fact it is an iron lump without anything special.

"This guy is a little weird."

Ethan threw the destroyed weapon aside and looked down at Bruno's corpse. This guy's corpse still exudes terrifying energy. Anyone can feel the terrifying energy intensity.

"They're all dead and still playing tricks?"

After observing for a moment, Ethan knew what was going on. Although this guy's body was dead, the huge death energy in his body protected his soul, and he began to transform Bruno towards the undead. Ethan saw this guy immediately. The soul was drawn out.

In the past, he had no way to randomly extract anyone's soul, and when he divided and extracted Professor Charles' spiritual body, it was only after Professor Charles fully cooperated and made a series of preparations.

Today, he can't actually extract the soul from the human body casually, but it is not difficult for him to solve the situation that Bruno has died and the soul is only forcibly kept in the body by special energy.

With Ethan's raised hands carrying a pale chain of light, Bruno's soul, which was being transformed by the huge death energy, left the body directly, and was finally lifted by Ethan in his hands.

It looked like Ethan grabbed Bruno by the neck and lifted him up. It's just that this Bruno is a translucent soul body, and actually has no weight at all.

Souls are fragile, and Ethan has known this for a long time.

And after losing the bondage of the body, it seems that there is less cover in the state of the soul. Many 'people' will not be able to hide their thoughts at this time, and many secrets will be revealed.

At the beginning, Wilson couldn't control his mouth in the state of soul, and broke out Beckford's name, letting Ethan know that there was a more powerful man behind the scenes.

Now that I have caught another one, I feel sorry for myself if I don’t interrogate him well, not to mention that Ethan has the Holy Light Cross in his hand, which has a huge restraint effect on this evil soul.

In addition, Serena can also use this evil soul to practice mind whipping, and this spell can directly affect the soul body.

It didn't take much effort at all, this Bruno explained everything clearly.

First, Beckford is not here at all. After arranging the northern route, the man behind the scenes has already gone to another route to do the same preparations.

Secondly, the devil's heart is actually on Bruno's body, which is why there is such a huge amount of negative energy on Bruno's body.

The role of this island, as Ethan had speculated before, was to stop the adventurers in this sea area, and then gradually turn everyone in this sea area and the calm waters into undead creatures.

As for what the ultimate goal is, Bruno doesn't know. He is an adventurer in this sea area. He met Beckford who returned to this sea area during a voyage. After being easily defeated, he resolutely chose to take refuge.

Beckford had already made up his plan at the time, but he was worried about what would happen, so instead of turning Bruenor into an undead creature, he sent him back to the central island to inquire about all kinds of information, if anything happened Beckford is prepared here.

That's why he agreed to join Brent's team so happily, because he wanted to find out specific information nearby.

"Why surrender?"

He knew what he should know, and after the overall situation was settled, Brent and others also came here and heard all the "confessions". At this time, he had understood everything, and he wanted to know why Bruno chose to surrender?

"why?"

Bruno, who is in a state of soul, can't control his thoughts very well. He almost says what he thinks. In addition, he was tortured by Ethan for a while before, and now he is in a state of madness.

"Am I willing to die like this? What if I become an undead creature? At least I can 'live' all the time."

"That's still alive?"

"Why not?" Bruno's expression became more and more hideous, and now he looks no different from the evil spirit: "I can think normally, move freely, and will become stronger!"

Bruno, who fell into madness, seemed to forget that he was being controlled by Ethan, and suddenly wanted to pounce on Brent like a madman, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get out of Ethan's palm.

Seeing that this guy was completely insane, plus he already knew what he wanted to know, Ethan's hand flashed a much stronger golden light than before, and the holy light was directly poured into Bruno's soul, trapping this already in the dark. The evil spirits who are crazy and contaminated with many negative energies are completely purified.

The soul was destroyed, and Ethan also destroyed the body. He already knew from Bruno's previous account that the island's devilish heart had been fused with his body, and there was no way to take it out alone.

Bruno is actually responsible for guarding the Demon Heart. If the situation is not good, he will merge with the Demon Heart, and gaining powerful power will solve the problem. Only then Bruenor will never be able to leave the island again.

Just as soon as the fusion started, he was stabbed to death by Ethan with a backstab. The powerful power was not completely owned by him, and he completely left him.

"We can leave here as long as we destroy his body now, right?"

"Yes."

The island is formed and maintained by the energy provided by this demon heart. As long as the devil's heart is destroyed, the island will immediately fall into collapse.

"We have to move fast, or we will sink to the bottom with this island."

Ethan released the last part of the Holy Light in the Holy Light Cross, turned it into a golden flame full of holy energy, and burned Bruno's body.

As the flames continued to burn, the demon heart, which was integrated with the body, began to be damaged, and the island began to show signs of collapse.

The dark clouds covering the entire sea area gradually dispersed, and the negative energy on the island began to fade.

Just as everyone was heading towards the sea, and when they turned back, they could no longer see where the castle was, the ground began to shake, and as time passed, the shaking became more frequent and more intense.

"The island is collapsing."
