Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer

If these Evil Spirits were highly unstable, they would have been eradicated long ago. The fact that they persist to this day might be because they are difficult to eliminate, or they can only roam within this mountain range and cannot leave.

Compared to the demons on the front line, such a threat is naturally not significant, and there’s no need to expend extra effort and troops to clear them out.

After all, with the demons on the front line, humans don’t have as much energy to handle these matters.

Alongside Alka, a brown Earth Card always hovered, allowing Alka to perceive the elemental crystals through it.

Soon, they arrived at that area under the moonlight, watched by countless Evil Spirits.

In the distance, they saw a stone pillar.

This stone pillar rose from the barren ground, approximately seven or eight meters high, and the material composing the pillar was quite different from the surrounding earth.

Through the Earth Card, Alka could clearly sense the high-energy earth elemental crystals within the stone pillar.

According to the map’s position, this should be the blue dot location.

As Alka and the others approached, an Evil Spirit coiled around the stone pillar, and the shape of this Evil Spirit was unsettling to the extreme.

It was like a snake, with a tongue that had distorted human faces, even with various human heads attached to the snake’s body.

Coiled around the stone pillar, it roared at Alka and the others, each head letting out sharp laughs in different tones.

”This Evil Spirit... is too disgusting.” Pororo said disdainfully, his face wrinkled.

He couldn’t help but wipe his arm, getting goosebumps.

Alka saw that this Evil Spirit’s strength was at the Third Stage.

The Difficulty level he observed at the dot matched.

”Let’s just walk past and see if it leaves due to our presence.”

Alka said, and together with the others, they approached the stone pillar.

The moonlight overhead continued to emit brightness as they got closer and closer. The multi-headed giant snake kept hissing but clearly didn’t dare to attack. Obviously, the moonlight still instinctively frightened them.

As they got closer, the hissing grew louder, and finally, the Evil Spirit seemed to lose its patience and lunged at them.

This serpent’s action seemed to trigger some chain reaction.

With the serpent lunging fiercely at them, the surrounding Evil Spirits seemed to be enticed into a frenzy, swarming toward them.

”Safety in numbers?” Alka couldn’t help but say.

It seemed their wisdom was insufficient, lacking reason, still mired in madness.

Enveloping ears, as if binding souls, music sounded.

Julia played her harp, and a phonograph floated beside her, playing pre-recorded music.

This was a tune Alka and the others had never heard before.

”Soul-Binding Concerto.”

The music spread around, making all the Evil Spirits slow down abruptly, like turtles crawling.

It seemed like time slowed everywhere around them, looking incredibly intriguing.

By Alka’s side, a red Flame Card appeared, and he twisted his hand.

A circle of flame ignited around them, transforming into a ring, enclosing them in the center.

The flames blazed furiously, forming a wall of fire.

Among most elements, flame is one of the few that can effectively attack Evil Spirits.

It’s also the highest attacking type of common elements against Evil Spirits.

Although not as effective as the Holy Light, it’s much more practical than other elemental energy like Earth or Water, which have no effect on these Evil Spirits.

The moonlight above Chadite glowed brighter, and in an instant, light expanded.

Instantly, these Evil Spirits began to wail and hiss in pain, struggling as if in slow motion.

Faint plumes of blue smoke rose from their bodies as if they were igniting, but this pain progressed gradually, not suddenly.

If Chadite chose to unleash full power, he could wipe out Second and Third Stage Evil Spirits in a moment.

Pororo’s abilities could also severely harm these Evil Spirits, given it’s Thunder.

However, the extinguishing effect of Winter Flower seemed not very effective on these Evil Spirits.

The extinguishing effect has massive destructive power toward physical objects with a physical body, almost reaching complete armor-piercing levels.

But against spiritual or soul entities, it seems ineffective.

However, Thunder elemental energy suffices, potentially causing more damage to Evil Spirits than Alka’s Fire Element in some instances.

Only Lucilia’s red energy body can cause typical damage to Evil Spirits.

The group’s abilities alternated without using intense means. Instantly, the Evil Spirits came to their senses.

After leaving behind a heap of ashes from the dead spirits, the remaining Evil Spirits scattered and fled.

Before long, they’ll regroup around, watching intently.

The giant snake that first charged received special treatment, reduced to a long strip of ash-white ash on the ground.

Watching the Evil Spirits retreat into various corners, a cyan Wind Card appeared beside Alka—an item he rarely used.
