Theater Spirit!
One of the strangest kinds of Evil Spirits.
Gwyn, as befits his status as an outstanding Bright Side Vampire, had some understanding of Evil Spirits.
Upon hearing Marvin's explanation, he immediately reacted!
”This theater has already nurtured a spirit?”
”Wouldn't that mean there is a Half-Legend Evil Spirit Envoy here?”
Gwyn's expression was solemn.
Marvin remained silent for a bit before remarking, ”Think, where did these Evil Spirits come from?”
The Vampire forced a smile. ”I thought they were spontaneously drawn to you by all the Evil Spirit Enmity on your body.”
”Your Evil Spirit Enmity is way too high after all. Even I can notice it as a Vampire.”
Marvin was slightly surprised.
He finally understood why Gwyn could recognize him even when he used Disguise. This guy could feel the Evil Spirit Enmity on his body!
His perception was really outstanding.
But now wasn't the time to chat about this. Although the Evil Spirit army had retreated, the real powerhouse had now descended.
...
In the darkness, a ”huhuhu, huhuhu” sound could be heard.
It felt like someone was strenuously pulling on a bellow.
There was no light, but it wasn't a problem for the two. Vampires had a very powerful Darkvision, and Marvin had Darksight, they could clearly see anything happening in the theater.
The curtains on the stage fluttered in all directions, but they moved very slowly, giving out an eerie feeling.
Gwyn frowned, ”It's coming.”
Marvin calmly lifted his two daggers, ”I'll deal with it.”
”You don't need to make a move. But I need you to quickly find the place where the spirit's core is located, or we will be trapped here forever.”
”At such a time, do you still want to hide it? I'm actually quite curious of the relationship between Grand Duke William and you, how could his [Blood Mark Perception] appear on your body…”
Following Marvin's profound words, Gwyn's eyelids twitched and he knew that he had been seen through, thus he stopped hesitating.
His skin suddenly reddened, a faint vein line seemed to appear on his skin like a ripple.
'A total of nine Blood Marks!'
Marvin was secretly startled on the side.
He could be considered close to Grand Duke William in the past and knew that the old fox came up with the [Blood Mark Perception] bloodline ability, but it could only be passed onto his direct descendants. At that time, Marvin's Affinity with the Bright Side was at [Worship] and the old fox William still explicitly told him he couldn't teach it to him.
And Gwyn, that guy, not only had the Blood Mark Perception, he had a total of nine Blood Marks!
It has to be known that Grand Duke William himself only had a total of sixteen Blood Marks.
With nine Blood Marks, Gwyn's perception should be at least at 30, [Godly Perception]!
No wonder he could sense the Evil Spirit Enmity on Marvin's body and continuously see through his Disguise.
Most people simply couldn't reach that!
But if that was the case, Marvin would be even more at ease.
If he said he had 80% chance of dealing with the Theater Spirit originally, now, seeing Gwyn's Blood Mark Perception, he was 100% sure of dealing with it without any issue.
...
In front of Marvin, those curtains and continuous footsteps actually turned into strange figures!
The strange faces slowly appeared from the curtains and pounced on the two!
These faces were sneering, or disdainful, or heartless, or sinister… they displayed most of the negative expressions of the secular world!
A gloomy voice echoed in their hearts, ”Max… Hungry…”
Marvin sneered, not affected by the voice!
His two daggers were raised as he pounced toward a face!
...
Theater Spirit, a kind of Evil Spirit made of collective consciousness. It was a lot harder to nurture than ordinary Evil Spirits.
Similar Evil Spirits included Circus Evil Spirit, Phantom of the Opera, and so on.
If it was said that common Junior Evil Spirits were born from people's wickedness, then those like the Theater Spirit were formed from the negative feeling of the audience watching shows!
In the eyes of the Evil Spirit Envoys, ancient theaters were holy places.
Because people in the theater would wantonly release their emotions when watching the plays. And most of them would be negative.
Over the years, these negative emotions would accumulate in the theater.
When these emotions were nurtured by a Half-Legend Evil Spirit Envoy, they would be cultivated into a genuine Theater Spirit!
This kind of spirit's power lay in it being a part of the entire theater.
Most of the time, Theater Spirits were lying dormant because even the Evil Spirit Envoys, who were filled with negative energy, couldn't satisfy their need for food.
Thus, once it awoke, the Theater Spirit would catch everything in the theater to fill himself, including Evil Spirits!
This was the reason why those Evil Spirits started retreating earlier.
But they unfortunately didn't know that in order to make sure to kill Marvin, the two Evil Spirit Envoys already arranged an Evil Spirit Barrier. All the retreating Evil Spirits were blocked by the barrier, ultimately unable to escape this frightening theater!
