While they waited for the other group to return, Finn decided to ask Zelestria about what power he obtained from Yokru. That was the response he received. In other words, he could also control those knights Iris could, but really, such an ability was somewhat useless. If he did suddenly control them, the other Ghost Hunters would be suspicious of how he was doing it when Iris had the ring. This ability was pretty much useless to him, quite unfortunately. But according to Zelestria, the other boss was…-

Reaching into the chest, Qi Ling took out what seemed to be a ring. She was cautious and didn’t dare to put it on, but instead she just observed it carefully. It was made of gold, with a dazzling purple gem embedded on top. Slowly, she walked back towards the others, ring in hand. “Ivy. Do you want this?” She asked, holding it up. “Hm… can I take a look?” Iris asked. Qi Ling nodded and handed it over to her, who accepted it and without any hesitation, began sliding it up her finger. Qi…

“This is… a puzzle?” Iris murmured, but was quickly broken out of her thoughts as Yokru launched another barrage of attacks at her. She gritted her teeth and landed behind one of the unbroken pillars, studying the various mysterious devices closer while the battle below continued raging on. The knights weren’t all that strong, but the fact that kept reviving endlessly was painful, to say the least. They came charging over and over again, like a bunch of pests that wouldn’t leave you alone no…

The interior of the room was beautiful. A massive chandelier hung from the ceiling, and unlike the rest of the cathedral, this place was painted with color. White pillars rose like monumental statues of strength, hope, love, and faith, and there were two floors, each founded upon smooth red carpet. The room looked like an indoor chamber where a king would stand high up where the Wraith was and wave to a crowd of his loyal followers, filled with royal air and dignity. But the bloodbath that was about to…

After Hurricane died at last, Iris arrived at the very bottom, meeting up with Finn. She glanced at the body and the pool of blood, then back a Finn. “Finn… did you…” “… Yes.” His voice contained no emotion, no remorse whatsoever for what he had done. And Iris wasn’t surprised in the least. “… Well, it’s only fair, I suppose. He came at you first,” Iris said with a sigh, then noticed the message Hurricane had left behind with his own blood and activated night vision to see what…

At this, Hurricane’s eyes widened even further. “You… could tell?” “The fact that you are able to use the Stormbringer Angelica so masterfully after a mere few days, able even though you were completely useless before, signals that something is wrong. It doesn’t take a genius to make that observation.” “Tch…” Hurricane gritted his teeth a bit at being called useless, but he had to hold in his anger right now. His life came first. Even for an arrogant person like him, he valued his…

“… What is the meaning of this?” Finn asked quietly yet threateningly. “Don’t worry… I just bond our hands together with a little electromagnetism to be safe. Just in case you try to drop me mid-flight or something, you know?” ‘… He’s gotten smarter,’ Finn thought. ‘However… I still have a million more ways to get rid of you.’ It was quite amusing, really. Despite only the two of them being left down here, isolated and out of earshot of the others, neither of them were…

With Qi Ling taking the lead, filling in any gaps in the stairs with her Everfrost Angelica, climbing up was made a lot simpler. But at this rate… she would soon run out of mana which definitely wasn’t ideal for the boss fight coming up ahead considering she was a major powerhouse of the group. Just as expected, after a while, she stopped before a gap, then turned around to the others. “I can’t keep filling in the spots like this. My mana is running low.” “No kidding… I’m surprised you…

In the end, the teams were decided as follows: Group 1 — Finn, Iris, Qi Ling, Hurricane, Shadow, Toth, Obo, Iyesha, Acaya, and Chisis as the Healer. Group 2 — Reaper, Tian Long, Ripple, Duke, Jester, Ashika, Abdol, Shoki, Diana (the Stormbringer Theocracy of Light Hunter), and Lauren as the Healer. Naturally, Ashika and Iris were split into different groups as well, since they both held the Oculus Angelica, which would be incredibly helpful utility-wise. Should the need for splitting up occur, this…

Everyone was frozen still for a few moments as they tried to comprehend what just happened. Smack talk, arguments were one thing, but to actually hurt someone who was supposed to be an ally with your Angelica… that was unacceptable. “How could you hurt him like that…? We’re supposed to be working together!” Tian Long cried. “Hmph. He looked like he was about to punch me, and I felt threatened. So… I decided to get him away from me a bit. Looks like I still can’t control my power all that…
