Leyton ignored the struggle behind him, holding the spirit-flesh blade formed at the end of the bone staff, and plunged it straight into Tyr's heart.
The spirit-flesh blade has stronger damage and breaking ability against creatures with Fallen intentions. Tyr's body was like a piece of tofu, easily pierced by the spirit-flesh blade.
The accompanying abilities of corroding flesh and annihilating souls continuously corroded Tyr's body from the wound.
To avoid wasting the characteristic, Leyton continued to use the flesh blade to cut off the arms, vines, and tentacles that extended from the bronze door.
After severing Tyr's palm, he directly kicked his body out of the bronze door's covered range.
The scarlet moon coronet, which fell to the ground along with Tyr's palm, was kicked by Leyton towards Sharron.
Then, the surrounding shadows instantly came alive, transforming into black tentacles that attacked Wraith Steve, who was entangled by Klein.
The next moment, Wraith Steve's figure disappeared from its original spot.
And Klein's eyes reflected two identical figures:
A black tailcoat, a dark red cape, a slicked-back oiled hairstyle, eyes gleaming with an eerie green light, and a pale face of about forty years old.
Klein's body quickly stiffened, his eyes became dull, and his thoughts gradually blurred.
Two sacred, pure, bright, and warm beams of light descended from the sky almost simultaneously.
Just like pillars of light from the Sun Kingdom, they brought a brilliant sensation and sacred Purification, completely enveloping Klein.
The two summoned holy lights from the Sun Domain came from Klein's self-rescue via the sun brooch he wore on his chest, and Leyton's imitate of the Sun Domain spell.
Klein, who was possessed by the Wraith, gradually regained clarity in his eyes. Immediately after, his figure quickly ignited, becoming brittle and charred, leaving only a thin sheet of paper.
The next moment, Leyton's body, whose eyes were covered with a layer of blue-white fluorescence, was dyed a rich gold.
The slowly rotating brass ring behind him emitted creaking gear sounds, and then the rich golden color on his body diffused outwards like ripples, layer after layer.
Sharron, Maric, and Jason's bodies all stiffened simultaneously, and wisps of black smoke rose from their bodies, with even sizzling sounds audible.
"Ah!" A shrill scream rang out.
Not far from Maric, Wraith Steve's figure fell out of thin air. His pale skin was crimson, as if scalded by boiling water, and layers of hot steam mixed with black smoke rose from his body.
Steve's body rapidly switched from a spirit state to a flesh-and-blood state; this power of Purification was the bane of filth and undead.
Klein seized the opportunity, and the dark golden sunbird brooch on his chest flashed with a brilliance. Golden, illusory flames instantly ignited around Wraith Steve, who had Fallen to the ground.
These flames, emanating the aura of the sun, were densely packed and soon formed a continuous golden ocean.
During this time, Sharron had already obtained the scarlet moon coronet from Tyr's severed palm, which Leyton had kicked to her side.
The crimson moonlight that had previously enveloped the surroundings vanished without a trace, and Sharron's and Maric's conditions were rapidly recovering.
Steve endured the scorching and searing, rushing out of the densely packed, ocean-like range of the light flames.
His tailcoat and cape were tattered, and his slicked-back oiled hair was completely withered and some parts were charred bald.
Centered on Steve, an extremely low-temperature hurricane roared and swept in all directions.
The ambient air temperature rapidly dropped, white frost condensed on the ground, and cold, transparent ice quickly spread. Beautiful, dreamlike snowflakes even drifted in the air.
Klein, who was in the negative effects of the sun brooch, couldn't help but shiver.
"He wants to escape," Sharron's ethereal voice came.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Fine ice crystal arrows mixed with the cold wind and snowflakes attacked.
The shadows around Leyton constantly squirmed, as if trying to grow hands and feet and crawl up from the ground.
But the next moment, these squirming shadows disintegrated into a dark void and rapidly spread towards Wraith Steve in the center of the cold wind.
Any dark void snowflakes and ice crystal arrows touched by this dark void were stained with a sticky blackness, instantly corroding and breaking apart.
Sharron's figure suddenly blurred and disappeared. The next moment, Zombie Jason, who was entangled with Maric, paused his movements.
A struggling expression appeared on Jason's pale face, which was covered in corrosive and scorching marks, but it quickly vanished.
His eyes became vacant, reflecting an image of a figure in a black court gown with intricate patterns, wearing a small soft cap, and with somewhat disheveled golden hair.
In just a moment, Sharron had completed the Wraith possession of Jason.
Jason slowly extended his hands, gripping his own neck, tightening his hold more and more.
All the ice created by Wraith Steve, which could be used for mirror flashing, was covered by shadows, and large areas of shadows around him were trying to engulf him.
Steve suddenly extended his left hand forward, letting out a silent scream that shattered all the surrounding shadows.
The others nearby were also affected; Klein, who was furthest away, only felt his head heavy and throbbing, as if it were about to explode.
Maric, who was trying to attack Steve, paused his movements, clutching his head in great pain, and sat down on the ground.
Zombie Jason, possessed by the Wraith, paused his action of choking himself, but quickly resumed.
The squirming shadows around him transformed into a black armor that enveloped Leyton, resisting most of the damage from the Wraith's scream. However, this soul-piercing damage still made Leyton feel his thoughts sluggish and his head heavy.
Seeing that the Wraith's scream did not achieve the desired effect, Steve slightly squatted down, placing both hands on the ground.
The surrounding ground suddenly turned black, seemingly becoming a muddy abyss, from which a distorted blood-colored vine grew. It was segmented, with each segment having four fangs and one eye. This blood-colored vine grew wildly upwards.
But the next moment, golden, illusory flames ignited out of nowhere around him. These flames of light were even denser, hotter, and purer than those previously created by Klein through the sun brooch.
These flames exuded a vast and pervasive aura of the sun, pure and sacred, burning the strange blood-colored vine into drops of liquid like a candle.
The muddy abyss on the ground was also engulfed by the flames of light, burning clean.
Also disappearing was Wraith Steve's figure; in the places engulfed by the flames of light, nothing was left but burn marks.
That series of actions just now was merely Wraith Steve's preparation to buy time and find an opportunity to use mirror flashing.
The next moment, in a corner of the nearby warehouse, Wraith Steve's figure stiffly appeared, and for a moment, his eyes reflected the figure of Miss Sharron in an elaborate black court gown.
Although the Wraith possession ability could not affect Wraith Steve, who was in a spirit state, as a fellow Wraith, Sharron could still force him out of the Mirror World when prepared.
After dealing with Jason, Sharron had quietly entered the Mirror World precisely to prevent Steve from escaping through his mirror flashing ability.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three gunshots. Two light golden streams of light and one brass-colored stream of light accurately struck Wraith Steve's body.
Golden flames and thick black smoke rose from the wounds, and Wraith Steve's attempt to escape again was interrupted.
The next moment, Maric arrived instantly, his left hand clenched into a fist, striking Steve's left shoulder. He then grabbed Steve's still recovering body and threw him towards the center of the open space.
Thick frost spread over Steve's body, and his flesh was directly frozen stiff.
Steve's body completed its virtualization as he hit the ground, shedding the inertia on him, and at the same time dispelling the frost that had frozen his flesh.
Steve's body gradually became illusory and transparent, but the next moment, the process of transparency and virtualization was terminated.
Steve discovered in horror that his connection with the Mirror World had been severed.
In the open space surrounded by several warehouses, a barrier shimmering with specks of starlight had appeared at some unknown time.
A sacred, pure, bright, and warm beam of light descended from the sky, followed by two demon-hunting bullets imbued with Purification Slash.
Steve quickly shifted his body, dodging the holy light descending from the sky, as well as the demon-hunting bullets imbued with Purification Slash.
The next moment, he was struck by an illusory skull shrouded in black mist, carrying a heavy aura of death, as if it were an emissary from the underworld.
This was a death-type spell cast by Miss Sharron, and Steve's figure instantly froze in place.
Leyton threw his bone staff, accurately embedding it into Zombie Jason's corpse, which lay on the ground.
Then he took two steps forward, closing the distance between himself and Steve. He leaned back, spreading his arms as if embracing the sun.
A majestic, pure, and blazing pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping both Steve and himself. Steve's body continuously emitted black, swirling hot steam, as if being evaporated.
At the same time, Leyton himself felt intense burning and pain, as the Fallen and corrupting power accumulated from using the bone staff was being Purified.
Due to the conflict between the holy light and their own abilities, Sharron and Maric did not intervene in the subsequent battle, only standing guard silently to prevent Steve from escaping.
Klein continuously fired shots from the side, cooperating with the Sun Domain spell attached to the sun brooch, to restrain Wraith Steve, preventing him from leaving the holy light's covered range.
The dense Sun Domain power and aura around him made it impossible for the death-type spells Steve mastered to even take shape.
"Paralyze!" A short Dragonese incantation was quietly uttered.
A light green radiance shot out instantly, directly hitting Steve, who was frantically dodging attacks and trying to escape the holy light's influence.
Steve, maintaining his flesh-and-blood body, instantly stiffened in place, unable to make any movements. Under the continuous baptism of holy light, he couldn't even transform into a spirit form to escape the negative effects.
Leyton's eyes, covered with blue-white fluorescence, were tinged with a light gold.
Golden, illusory flames ignited out of nowhere around him, gradually converging to form a golden flame spear.
Under Leyton's control, the golden flame spear transformed into a stream of light and plunged into Steve's body.
The golden, illusory flames burst into existence on Steve's body with a "bang," and a vast solar aura enveloped his entire being, accompanied by the sizzling sound of scorching grease.
Even his roaring sound was swallowed by the golden flames; Steve did not manage to let out a single scream.
One golden flame spear after another appeared, then plunged into Steve's body, until he was completely reduced to a charred corpse.
