In the quiet mist, the Eight Trigrams Charm in front of Bexia burned with white flames, with a liquid being continuously scorched, distorting into special runes.
Calmness Charm, as a soul spell, naturally emitted a strong soul fluctuation, and Bexia, who was close, could feel a coolness from the soul, instantly dispelling the exhaustion.
"Master, be careful, I just sensed a soul consciousness!"
"Soul consciousness?!"
"There are actually living beings in this mist?!" Bexia suddenly realized something. Since the monarchs who entered here didn't come out, it definitely wasn't just a simple case of being lost. It seemed there was something strange inside.
"Is the soul consciousness strong?" Bexia asked.
"Not strong, probably only equivalent to high-ranking ones!"
"Then let's not startle the snake, Christine, minimize your presence." Bexia continued to refine the Calmness Charm, asking Christine to be vigilant and inform him immediately if anything happened, while he secretly observed his surroundings.
"Swoosh—!" In his soul perception, something indeed dashed through the mist, but it was very fast, and Bexia's soul perception could only catch a trace of it.
"It seems like there's more than one."
"There are several, and the number seems to be increasing!"
"It seems they're gathering."
"Master!" Christine suddenly called out seriously.
"What's wrong?"
"These things seem to have no physical form, regular attacks may not work!"
"Is that so?! Then I leave it to you!" Bexia was very decisive. In terms of soul matters, he was definitely not as strong as Christine. After all, the Divine Divinity was specialized in cultivating soul power, and in this aspect, Christine completely outperformed Bexia.
"So you be careful, Master!" To help, Christine naturally needed to separate from Bexia's fusion. After they separated, Bexia's strength would reduce by at least half, and they didn't know what these strange creatures were. Although they weren't powerful, when their numbers increased, they could easily undergo a qualitative change.
"Go ahead! Let's see what these things really are."
"Okay!" Christine's ethereal figure flashed out from behind Bexia, as if the illusory soul and the surrounding mist merged into one. In this place, the soul body seemed even more at home.
The battle with soul power was actually no different from normal battles. The only difference was the inherent distinction in their power manifestations. Attacks with physical matter against soul-bodied beings were useless and most energy damage wouldn't be effective either. Only soul-to-soul attacks were the most direct.
In a single round, Christine's soul power was formidable. At least among the champions Bexia encountered, none were as strong as her. Dealing with these relatively weak strange creatures, Christine didn't need to exert much effort. She quickly grabbed a ferocious white shadow.
"Is this the strange creature?" Bexia also put away the Calmness Charm he had just refined, feeling that the white figure caught by Christine was looking at the Calmness Charm he put away as if it had seen some delicious food.
"Oh!?" Bexia pondered for a moment and took out a Calmness Charm filled with spiritual power.
"Hiss—!" The struggling white eagle became even more intense, obviously because of the spiritual power in the Calmness Charm, it was attracted by the Calmness Charm because of this strange creature.
"What is this thing?"
"I don't know, but after killing them, they will drop a special crystal that contains evil spiritual power!" Christine said, extending her palm with dozens of black crystals the size of rice grains. The rising black aura seemed to contain resentful and vengeful spirits roaring.
"This aura is truly evil, just like a wraith!" Bexia took another glance at the white figure in his hand and temporarily named this thing a soul-devouring wraith.
"Deal with it!"
"Okay!" Christine nodded, her power trembled, and the soul-devouring wraith let out a scream before its misty body dissipated, leaving only a rice grain-sized crystal.
"There is a considerable amount of spiritual power inside, but it is filled with resentment. If absorbed directly, it will contaminate the soul. But absorbing a small amount is possible!" Christine spoke, if this thing wasn't contaminated by resentment, it would be a rare treasure in the outside world.
"Resentment?" Bexia touched his forehead. He remembered that he seemed to have a technique specifically for extracting evil power.
"Give me everything! Let me try to remove the resentment inside."
Bexia reached out and took the crystal of resentment from Christine's hand. A ray of light fell on his hand from his forehead, causing the resentment to quickly dissipate like snow meeting the spring sun. After a moment, only the silver crystal remained, emitting pure spiritual power.
He picked up a crystal and threw it directly into his mouth. Once it entered his body, it turned into a cool soul power. Bexia felt a refreshing sensation in his mind and immediately closed his eyes, starting to control these spiritual powers. After a few minutes, he opened his eyes again, a trace of light flickering in them.
"This is great stuff!" Bexia smiled and handed the remaining crystals to Christine, saying, "You can try it, the effect is really good!"
"No need, master needs it more than me!" Christine shook her head and didn't reach out to take it.
"Then I'll use it first!" Bexia squeezed all the crystals in his hand and threw them into his mouth, but the next second, he suddenly reached out and hugged Christine, sealing her lips with his.
"Mmm—!" Christine was caught off guard, and the spiritual power that had just been swallowed was transmitted directly into her body by Bexia. As a pure soul entity herself, absorbing this spiritual power was even more direct, and it was digested by the Soul Divinity with just one breath.
"Tsk tsk!" Bexia smiled, reminiscing about the flushed cheeks of Christine. This appearance was so delicious that if the situation was appropriate, Bexia would have wanted to punish her right on the spot.
"The master is full of dirty thoughts!" Christine immediately knew what Bexia was thinking and gave him a flirtatious glare.
"Who told you not to obey? As the master, I must teach you a lesson and let you know who has the final say!"
"The master's words count, I'll listen to you!" When Christine encountered Bexia, she took on a charming feminine appearance, embracing his shoulder and burying her face in his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat. This was her most peaceful moment.
"How do you feel?"
"Very good, my soul power has increased a bit!"
"Then absorb these as well! Your strength increasing is good for all of us!" Bexia took out all the Calmness Charms that were filled with soul power. These charms were not disposable items and could be used repeatedly around a dozen times before disappearing.
"But these were meant for Lady Sister..."
"Can the Calmness Charms match up to the crystallization of the soul-devouring wraiths?" Bexia glanced at the mist ahead and anxiously spoke, "Even the king can't leave, so I believe there must be even more powerful soul-devouring wraiths. The stronger you become, the safer we are here!"
