Strange Worlds-Chapter 278: Second Day (8)

Screams sounded on the side and Silas also looked in the direction Aya was looking. Seeing several ghosts suddenly appearing in the stands, the people around him were scared and screamed out loudly.

What Aya saw was that a man was being stabbed and then a ghost came out from him.

She instantly understood that this person should be a ghost master.

Ghost masters could be said to be similar to beast masters but they sealed the ghosts in their body instead of making contracts like beast masters. And these ghosts were all under his order and would stay within the seal, but they had to strengthen it from time to time. Whenever the ghosts were used, it would consume their life force.

Because of this, the ghost master rarely made a move.

Moreover, the negative effects of these ghosts to the surroundings were not a secret, so the Fourth Head of the Wansu City gave orders for these ghost masters to stay outside of Wansu City most of the time. Besides, they were asked to clean up the ghosts from time to time in the areas around Wansu City.

The ghosts have various different abilities and it was up to their ghost masters to make a full use of their abilities.

Aya hadn’t seen any other ghost master aside from the time during Silas’s mother incident.

Now...

The ghost master was killed and the sealing formation on his body was naturally made undone. This caused these ghosts to let loose and spread out instantly. Of course, their first target was the person closest to the ghost master, the killer.

"That’s..."

"Seal the ghosts!" the Fourth Head of the Wansu City yelled when he saw these ghosts coming out. He wanted to curse out loudly but couldn’t really do that. Seeing the people panicking, he also didn’t know which magic would be best to use.

"I am the woods, the pillar of growth. The green is billowing and nature is flourishing. Light promotes growth and lets the woods appear from the ground. I call you to grow even more vigorously and entangle the enemy in front of me, the forest of roots," The Green Family Patriarch casted the spells and mana vigorously emerged from the ground under the ghost.

As the ghosts spread out, the Green Family Patriarch quickly made his move to entangle these ghosts before they could attack more people. Some people who were closest to the ghost master had died including the killer who made the first move.

After all, the number of ghosts under this ghosts master were a lot.

Looking at it, this should be a ghost master that specialized in sealing the ghosts inside his body to keep them. There was one rank 1 ghost and 5 unranked ghosts, all coming out vigorously.

The magic that the Green Family Patriarch used could only entangle three ghosts and the other three unranked ghosts spread out towards others.

"Good job!" the Fourth Head of the Wansu City praised his disciple.

"Teacher, you have to seal them quickly," the Green Family Patriarch quickly said. His magic couldn’t kill these ghosts and could only stop them for a short while. After all, the Green Family Patriarch’s magic focused more on control rather than attack.

"I know." the Fourth Head of the Wansu City quickly called the other magic warriors to come forward. "Where are the other patriarchs?"

"They should be coming soon."

"Fourth Head, there are other ghosts coming from outside," the White Family Patriarch was standing on the roof and quickly gave information. His crystal eyes quickly noticed that there were other ghosts outside the building.

This attack should be premeditated.

The yearly competition was usually not very lively because there were not many people who were interested in this competition. Aside from the Fourth Head of the Wansu City who will definitely be present, the others were usually the parents of the students who participated.

This year was a bit special because the four patriarchs’ children and relatives were participating. So the four patriarchs were present.

With them coming here, many members of the four big families also came to join in the fun.

They could also see how talented these children who were part of the main family and might become the next patriarch of their respective families.

"Damn it!" the Fourth Head of the Wansu City cursed and then quickly gave order for these magic warriors to come forward and help.

"I am the shadow, the rule of the darkness. The blaring light gives out provocation and I refuse to accept. Let the dark come and go forward to cover all the world into the darkness. Be my power and strike the enemy hard, the arrows of darkness!"

The Black Family Patriarch was outside the building and quickly used the rank 6 magic spell to deal with these ghosts.

Even though they all agreed to hide their strength in secret, they couldn’t think too much when facing these ghosts. If they didn’t make a move, their people and other people from Wansu City would die and these people couldn’t let it happen.

The Red Family Patriarch also rushed over and entangled with one of the ghosts inside the building.

On the other hand, the White Family Patriarch’s brother was staying beside his brother to protect the other party.

"One of them is heading to the medical center," Evan said and quickly rushed out.

"Wait, Evan, your mana hasn’t been restored yet!"

The others quickly followed behind Evan and dashed towards the medical center. The so called medical center was just one room to put the injured.

These people were all resting and when they saw a ghost appeared in front of them, they wanted to mobilize their mana.

Bang!

"Damn it, it’s not effective at all."

Among these people here, Vance White and Vincent Green were both here. Their mana was exhausted because of the battle and it hadn’t recovered yet.

"I’m the friend of wind. Let the wind come forth and be my strongest shield, great wind wall!"

Bang!
