Beavers, though not very aggressive, might even be considered timid with a weak self-defensive capacity.

However, their extremely sharp teeth can easily gnaw through large trees and even build dams in rapid rivers.

Combined with the lightning-fast movements of a spirit body.

Aiven, entangled desperately by the evil spirit's body, had just swung his sword and killed three of them when a wooden stake was gnawed through by a swarm of "beaver" spirit bodies.

The invisible barrier was instantly breached!

Swish——

The evil spirit, realizing it couldn't possess Aiven, stopped wasting energy and, enduring the sunlight's burn, turned into white mist and flew away.

Aiven stepped forward and swung his sword.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

The blade, stained with holy water, only sliced away part of its mist, having a limited effect on such an evil spirit formed by the aggregation of numerous souls.

Perhaps the sustained burning damage from the sunset was even greater...

Although Aiven hadn't studied whether evil spirits had internal rankings, he felt this one was on par with the seven "killing ghosts" he had encountered before.

All belonging to the type with some evil spirit characteristics, comparable to a Tier 2 Extraordinary human, eerie spirit bodies.

However, compared to the "killing ghosts," modified by evil gods for special purposes and resembling humans more than phantoms, this "Childless Evil Spirit" was more elusive.

Direct lethality was certainly its weak point, but its special abilities like possession, vaporization, and differentiation made its survival capabilities extremely strong!

This was also the main reason why Aiven initially prepared to restrict it with a spiritual barrier.

Despite Aiven and Milan believing they were fully prepared for hunting "Dust of Evil Spirits", their lack of combat experience with spirit bodies allowed it to slip away.

No wonder many native tribes worship these well-known evil spirits alongside proper totems.

Once they cling to you like sticky plasters, it's hard to shake them off, driving you crazy. The cost of getting rid of them is too high, so ultimately, they compromise, exchanging faith for peace.

The only good news is that "Pocatello" also hasn't obtained the essence of those undying evil spirits and still fears sunlight.

Meanwhile, with a word to Milan through the mind connection, Aiven casually tossed a silver dagger engraved with deep blue runes and embedded with a pure sapphire at his feet.

It instantly disappeared into the swirling shadows.

"Kaka... Kaka..."

The dagger had been taken away by "Kaka" hidden in Aiven's shadow.

It's been over three months since its birth, and the little lizard is growing rapidly.

Especially after Aiven simulated the Shadow Realm environment on the ship and successfully cultivated the seeds of those eggplant-shaped plants, feeding it with both demonized creature flesh from the material world and occasionally Essence Fruit.

The once forearm-length lizard had now rapidly grown to a length of one and a half meters.

At first glance, one might mistake it for a small crocodile.

This also generally confirmed that its parents were likely those Godzilla-like giant lizards; a promising future!

Especially as it grew rapidly in wisdom, far smarter than other cold-blooded animals of its kind, able to complete simple tasks independently.

Aiven was very much looking forward to its further performance after he advanced to an official wizard and began using the "Bloodline Transformation" series of witchcraft.

Woo——

The vaporized evil spirit suddenly vanished before Aiven.

Meanwhile.

Among the people who had also moved into the sunlight, an aboriginal holding a firearm sneered and suddenly pointed the gun at Aiven.

Apparently, even after losing its host "Brown Bear Warrior," this murder-addicted evil spirit had no intention of stopping.

Even if Aiven had never hunted its "children" beavers and couldn't use established rules to curse or possess anyone.

But it still sought to kill this "outsider" who spoiled its plans, by any means!

Bang——!

A hot lead bullet shot toward Aiven.

However.

Unless it's a firearms array dense as rain, such scattered shots are no threat to Aiven anymore.

Clang!

With a light swing of his sword, he deflected the incoming lead bullet with the back of his blade.

Even from a dozen meters away, Aiven simply took a step to appear before the aboriginal.

The evil spirit possessing it, however, remained fearless.

Casually discarding the emptied firearm, it pulled out a steel dagger traded with fur from its belt and began to mark its chest, as if contemplating the best spot to skin it.

Those bloody "Skinless People" likely originated this way.

Through the aboriginal's eyes, the terror of the body's original owner was still visible, clearly aware of everything happening to their body even in a possessed state.

Provocation!

The message was clear: 'There are still so many possession options here; will you save them faster than I can kill them?'

It was the evil spirit's power over life and death! Just like what humans did to beavers!

Thump! Thump! Thump!...

Among the people avoiding the scene, the tribal leader couldn't help but start drumming again.

However, he no longer had the ability to summon the divine power of the "Spirit of the Giant Bear," only awakening the inherent power of the ritual drum named "Tebonaster."
