Red lightning and black flames materialized around the sword.
He slashed in a wide arc before the ghosts could run or attack.
The trees at the end of area suddenly dried up and died.
Screeching wails of the ghosts echoed.
Their presences disappeared a beat later.
Neo gasped for breath, and sat on the ground.
"My condition is better than the previous time I used Aura Slash.
"But I'm still fucked if there is another ghost."
While his limbs no longer trembled and he didn't feel like dying after just one Aura Slash, it didn't change the fact his Divine Energy reserves were back to 1/10 of their total.
Neo waited.
He spread his sense wide to locate another ghost.
There was nothing…
He let out a sigh and used Essence Breath Spell to speed up his recovery.
Jack woke up with a groan.
"What happened… Neo, are you okay!?"
Blood poured out non-stop from Neo's back and his shoulder had an ugly injury.
