175 Chapter 167 - Stickman Worms. 2 (1/2)

Sky carefully stepped on the floor while making sure there's no stickman worm under his legs, he has his magic force focused on both of his hands, ready to blast off any of those stickmen that might suddenly jump up to him. However, before those stickmen fully emerged from the ground, a green barrier appeared around Sky, it's from Chris. Despite of all his mean words, he still lends Sky a helping hand as he realized how dangerous those little creatures could be and normal barriers would not be able to stop them.

Chris's concerns are right on the point, as those little creatures are much more dangerous than how they look like, the moment they get direct contact with their target, they will attach themselves onto their host's body with their sharp torso and dig their heads into their host's flesh, feasting on their host's blood and flesh. And the most terrifying thing is that it's almost impossible to remove it from the host's body without causing damage to the hosts after it's attached to them, even when their torso is removed, their head that dug into the host's body will remain alive and stuck in their host's body like a leech.

”I don't know how long I could hold on to this in this mind projection state, so, please clear it fast and be careful.” said Chris.

Sky nodded before creating a small area of magic burst destroying a small batch of stickmen. However, Sky does not dare to make a big movement as they are currently in the underground, any overly big impact might cause the whole place to collapse along with the building thus spreading the foul aura to a wider range outside the building area...

Meanwhile, cathedral, backroom.

Dominic who is still in the ceremony outfit for the morning prayer, lighted an incense burner while observing Seito and the others who just reached there. He looks at them with a rather interesting look, like how a person sees some extincted animals. Seito feels a bit awkward and trying to walk away but getting stopped by Itsuki. Seeing their actions, Dominic laughed out a bit.

”He certainly knows all sorts of interesting people.” said Dominic out of the blues.

”Heh?” Seito is totally confused with Dominic's words.

”Did you people know Chris well?” Dominic asked.

”Yes, we are friends.” said Seito, without any hesitation.

”I see. Can you tell me what kind of person Chris is?” Dominic asked again.

”He is a terrifying yet dependable person.” said Seito, again, with no hesitation, which successfully drawn Itsuki's attention.

”Terrifying?” Dominic is a bit curious.

”Yes, but not in a bad way.” said Seito. Dominic nodded.

At this moment, he doesn't know what's that supposed to mean, but he will know it in a few days...

Abandoned house. Sky had eliminated half of the stickmen, Chris's barrier is still active and shielded Sky perfectly, however, Sky noticed signs of fatigue from Chris... Chris's mind projection.

”Hey Chris, I was joking just now, you don't need to waste your magic and vital to hold this barrier around me, you know that you will need to use a huge amount of magic when you seal up that half Kirin, right? ” said Sky while continue blasting off a big swarm of stickmen that 'stick' onto the barrier trying to break it through

”It's true that the seal consumes a huge amount of magic but are you sure you will be okay without the barrier? Those things are targeting you all at once.” said Chris, he sounds a bit tired, despite of being a mind projection.

”Don't worry, I'll be okay. To prevent any accidents in process, as soon as you deactivated the barrier, you seal that half kirin immediately, so we would no longer need to worry about the foul aura issue in this building and the seal will be totally safe as those stickmen's target is me.” said Sky.

Chris hesitated for a while before retracted the barrier at a safer timing.
