Chapter 50: Turning tables! Why are you scared now?
It was getting frustrating for him when they didn't move away. He was considering leaving the forest for now to gain some distance from his pursuers, but it was at that moment when one of the children walked away from the herd.
He could not help but gloat seeing that.
Now all he had to do was possess this foolish human child and break the array in this forest.
He knew that humans were lofty creatures, slaves to their desires. As long as he stirred enough emotions in this human, he should be easily able to gain control.
Who knows that the human might even surrender willingly?
Although for some reason, he was not able to gauge the power inside the kid, he assumed that the human was too weak—just like a bug.
So he used his power to create a faint illusion and slowly brought the sleeping kid into it.
He knew that as long as he presented a pitiful act and used this forest to draw out his sympathy, the human would fall for it.
He was aware that spirits were creatures that rarely interacted with these humans, so he doubted that a child would have ever met or seen one.
Not only that, but to be more genuine, he even offered power to the human for forming a contract.
He had just sensed that this human child barely had any noteworthy espera, so he should be greedy enough for more power and fame.
Of course, there was no power since he would be possessing the kid and killing him internally.
So, he quickly presented his act to the kid.
For some reason, this brat was quite arrogant and was pissing him off from time to time, but he endured it for the sake of devouring him later.
He would make sure to give him a painful death at that time.
However, even after all that, the human rejected him and his offer.
He could not understand why?
He asked for an explanation and upon hearing his first reason, his eyes could not help but turn bloodshot!
This brat wanted a beautiful woman instead of an old man to offer him the contract?
He would only sign a contract with a beautiful spirit?
What logic was that?
Didn't power reign supreme? Since when did these humans start to follow the religion of lust over power?
Was he in his right mind?
This was clearly a disrespect to him and his powers… this human was blatantly discriminating against spirits!
So bold!
But after hearing his second reason, he realized that he had been caught…
And the reason he was caught was that he mentioned that this human child had a great power within?
He could not help but curse. Looks like, in his injured state, he had lost his brain to be caught by a child of _______________
"SO YOU KNEW! HAHAHA"
The old ghost laughed manically, he was truly enraged by this whole situation.
"NO MATTER WHAT! TODAY YOU WILL BECOME A SACRIFICE!" the old ghost yelled, his figure turning distorted and blurry in front of Oliver's keen eyes.
"WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT… YOUR BODY NOW BELONGS TO ME!"
The ghost literally screamed as he madly dashed into Oliver's body.
In his spiritual form, he entered inside Oliver's body.
If the human was not going to comply on his own, then he would use force and turn the human into his vessel.
Although he was tired and wounded, he didn't think that a weak bug could resist his power and force.
Oliver gasped as he felt the ghost enter into his chest.
He felt a chilling cold sensation on his chest as his breathing quickened.
However, if one were to notice, his reaction remained passive, and his expression was unreadable at the moment.
He did not resist at all and let the ghost enter his body.
It was only after a minute when a shriek sounded out inside him.
It was a miserable, agonizing shriek of a pig being slaughtered.
"What is this!? This foul thing… how can this be!? Y-You are not human!?"
The old ghost, who was trying to forcefully possess Oliver a moment ago, was now viciously struggling as a strange dark reddish energy tried to devour him instead.
The energy was foul and corrupted, it was not espera but something even deadlier.
Oliver smiled in a saintly way as he innocently asked, "What's the matter? Aren't you going to possess me?"
"SHUT UP! Who are you!? You are not human! AAGH-! It hurts! It hurts!"
The old ghost sounded as if he was being tortured alive; his cries were agonizing and painful.
Oliver sighed as he took a look inside, and he saw the reason for those shrieks.
The Abyss energy, which was naturally flowing inside him, had captured the ghost.
It was slowly eating away the parts of the ghost, limb from limb, and as a result of being corrupted by this, the old ghost was experiencing the feeling of being skinned alive.
A disturbing energy that could corrupt even the demons.
The Abyss was unfathomable, and the ghost also realized his situation painfully.
He had just entered this human in order to possess him, but what he was met with was infinite depth, a true darkness with no seeming end.
He traveled as much as he could, but he was unable to move past the darkness; he could not access the core of this human child.
It was as if he was sinking into an abyss with no finite end.
He felt like drowning, and before he knew it, a sharp pain assaulted his very being.
It was as if something was forcefully trying to consume him bit by bit.
The old ghost finally experienced the worst pain of his life if he could express it.
No matter how much he tried to resist that force, he could not overcome it.
He was shocked beyond belief; no matter how wounded or weak he was, he was still a powerful demonic ghost. How could a mere human child with no noticeable power be able to restrict him?
This kid was no human! He was something else… something forbidden…
And when this realization settled within him, he restlessly adopted the only approach that could save his life.
He started begging the human kid to spare him.
