Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 82 Losing control
"boom"

Like a ball lightning bolt, the white flashball struck the outline formed by the pale mist the moment it was thrown, exploding in the mist like a tiny sun.

"Ahhh-"

It seemed as if the screams of hundreds of people rang out the instant the white light suddenly flashed, the overlapping sounds extremely shrill and painful to the ears.

When the pale fog suddenly dissipated, Song Shaoying subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Su Yu tensed up immediately, his expressionless face showing as he clenched his fist again, the white light continuing to gather in his hand.

The dissipation of the pale mist doesn't mean the evil spirit has left, but rather it might mean...

"what!"

A sailor who was gripping the table tightly suddenly screamed, and before everyone's eyes, he was enveloped by a sudden, pale mist.

"Ahhh"

The entire body rapidly withered, the hair turned white, leaving only skin and bones. Almost instantly, the pale mist seemed to thicken, yet it was filled with blood.

"No, it's impossible!"

Song Shaoying breathed a sigh of relief when she hit the target with the white flashball, feeling that even an evil spirit would be reduced to ashes under the attack of the white flashball.

Even if we can't kill it outright, if we can at least temporarily repel it, it will give everyone a much-needed breather.

But now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, and with the ship's defenses activated, the evil spirit is still able to harm people, even draining one person dry in an instant.

Seeing the pale mist kill someone and continue to spread across the deck despite the protective shield, Song Shaoying turned deathly pale.

The fact that the evil spirit could move freely even with the protection of a powerful force demonstrates that its strength far exceeded Song Shaoying's expectations.

Or perhaps this evil spirit has a special ability to ignore or reduce attacks on it.

Whatever the reason, this evil spirit is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.

This situation is extremely dangerous.

"Left with nothing to say"

Let the storm in

As the singing continued, the pale mist that had been scattered by the explosion quickly gathered together again. This time, the main body was still a girl, but her face could be clearly seen as a terrifying human face formed by dozens of faces overlapping each other.

"No, it seems there are a dozen or so missing."

Even though Su Yu was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but curse under his breath after seeing it clearly.

He did not learn about the "Hundred Sages," but this did not require specialized knowledge; it was obvious at a glance that it was a collection of many evil spirits.

There was no problem with killing them or using aircraft cannons, but only a small portion of them were killed.

"This evil spirit is an aggregate, which is why killing one only attracted more attacks. No, depending on the situation, although it is an aggregate, it is centered around this girl."

"So the girl I killed in space angered it?"

"So you're willing to attack at any cost?"

"And when it's injured, it can absorb a person's vital essence, blood, and flesh to heal its wounds?"

"No, no, once you're killed, you can't recover."

Upon seeing fewer than a dozen faces, Su Yu immediately realized what was happening. He looked around and, sure enough, he vaguely saw a new face in the pale mist. It seemed to be the sailor from before, but it was very blurry and was slowly dissipating.

"Its quality is too low to form?"

"As expected, there is no such thing as a complete recovery. Only a small part of the injury is restored, but the damage to the body itself cannot be made up for, or at least not for now."

Su Yu found the concepts of "unkillable" and "instant recovery" the least credible. Even in the magical world, these defied objective laws, and even if they were achieved with difficulty, there would be a huge energy level difference.

For example, from the perspective of primitive people, the resilience of modern states is "unkillable" and "instantaneous recovery," but modern people themselves are aware of their own losses and limitations.

Do these mere hundred sages deserve such a disparity in status?

"Damn it, who is attacking us?"

"Could it be the boss's boss?"

In the blink of an eye, Su Yu had already connected this evil spirit with the boss's boss.

Since it is related to themselves and is aimed at the Song family's fleet, isn't it obvious who the mastermind behind this storm is?
"Left with nothing to say"

Let the storm in

"Click"

Just as they were pondering this, the storm outside seemed to have paused for a moment. In that instant of quiet, the crisp sound of breaking glass was all the more distinct. Not only Song Shaoying and Su Yu heard it, but several sailors nearby also heard it.

What is this sound?
It seemed as if the entire ship shook, emitting a crackling and tearing sound.

"How can this be?"

The next moment, an extremely terrifying scream rang out, making their heads buzz. Two sailors who were slightly closer even had blood flowing from their seven orifices.

Then, the girl's neck twisted into an incredible arc, just like a baby's.

The crimson liquid was filled with a strong, fishy odor.

This seemed to be the cause of her death; suddenly, she seemed to have suffered a severe blow.

Then, ripples spread through the air, and the terrifying human face formed by dozens of faces overlapping each other suddenly split into two pieces due to internal strife.

Some of them lunged at the girl and bit her.

"..."

The evil spirit has gone mad, and the ship is badly damaged.

Su Yu, who had almost connected the whole line, was taken aback. What was going on? Why was this evil spirit suddenly hitting itself?
Could it be... internal strife?
“Evil spirits cannot be driven by humans voluntarily; they must be subject to human control for some reason.”

"If a target could be found in the ocean, could it be that the ship was marked and is connected to this evil spirit?"

"However, the way the evil spirit looked just now, rather than being driven to kill, was more like..."

out of control!

The moment those two words appeared in Su Yu's mind, it was like a hammer blow to his heart, making him tense up even more.

Powerful evil spirits are already difficult to deal with, but an out-of-control evil spirit is less dangerous, but the probability of being attacked increases.

The storm outside suddenly became even more violent, causing the ship to rock from side to side.

Several sailors lost their grip and once again became "balls" rolling back and forth in the cabin.

A foul-smelling wind suddenly blew from the left, instantly covering my face.

As Su Yu subconsciously closed his eyes, a hideous and terrifying human face appeared in the mist, its mouth full of fangs opening wide as it bit down on his head.

Song Shaoying, who was not far away, also saw the situation clearly at this moment. When she saw the human face suddenly appear and bite down on Su Yu at an extremely fast speed, she subconsciously took a step back.

It’s over.

Song Shaoying thought, this child is doomed.

"puff"

The instant the human face opened its mouth, Su Yu shot the white light he was holding directly into the human face's mouth.

"【Incandescent Beam (0 Rings)】"

This is a spell that typically requires three years of systematic study to learn.

"Ahhh"

This single blow severely injured the human-faced figure, causing it to scream and stagger backward as if someone had poured boiling oil into it.

"If it can't be killed all at once, can it gradually recover?"

Su Yu was not complacent. Seeing that the human face was half-destroyed and much thinner, but had not disappeared immediately, he took two steps back and calculated in his mind how to completely kill the human face.

Then lock this human face directly in the courtyard and slowly grind him to death?

However, since this human face is part of the overall evil spirit, there is a risk in using this method to grind it down.

But besides this method, can we use magic to deal with it?

The difference in their levels is too great. Even if the evil spirit is injured, internal strife and backlash are still too much to handle.

How could Song Shaoying, as the captain, be completely helpless against this evil spirit?

"Damn it, the risk of coming here this time was too great!"

Seeing the pale mist rushing towards him again, Su Yu gritted his teeth.

Even if it's an evil spirit, we might not be able to control the space, but at this point we have no choice. If we don't fight, we'll die. We have to fight!

However, this is not the place to deal with evil spirits. Even if I have to fight desperately, I don't want so many people to notice my abnormality.

Su Yu flashed and rushed into the cabin.
