Chapter 963 - The Right Way To Switch On A God (1/2)
Just as the three malevolent spirits had finished collecting their blood taxes — a few Lake-level ghostly creatures — and were about to leave, Vigilante A suddenly revealed himself from thin air.
With an imposing disposition, he stood in the path of the three malevolent spirits.
“Huh, it’s a living person?” The malevolent spirit in the lead was initially startled, but after gaining a clearer sense of the situation, it became irritated. “No matter who you are, you better get out of my way right now. If not, I’ll throw you into the Malevolent Spirits River as well!”
However, the deputy malevolent spirit and the third-in-command malevolent spirit were staring at the person before them with gleaming eyes.
“This person seems to have a dragon aura on him…” the deputy malevolent spirit mumbled.
“If we ate him, we could probably level up and become malevolent dragon spirits. Then, it’ll be possible for us to become spirit generals!” the third-in-command malevolent spirit said while licking its lips with its blood-red tongue.
Clearly, the two subordinates and the leader had different ideas. The leader remembered they still had to hurry back to turn in their taxes and could sense that this person’s power was quite strong, so it did not wish to create new problems.
As for them, they wanted to make extra earnings and did not want to let this trip go to waste.
“While the house of the rich reeks of flesh and wine, there are frozen bodies lying by the roadside!” Vigilante A condemned them severely and justly. “You malevolent spirits! Exploiting civilians and making a fortune for yourselves. Even in the face of a disaster, you only know how to use your powers to oppress the innocent. You should be damned!”
In the marsh area, the female ghost with heavy makeup that had already sunk down as well as the other ghostly creatures heard the commotion and floated up to the mud surface, gawking at this scene.
“Have I been taking in too little Yin Energy lately that my eyesight is becoming blurry and my hearing is weakening? What is this person who came out of nowhere doing right now?” an old ghost said in a very puzzled tone to a mud monster beside it.
“He seems to be standing up for us?” the mud monster said uncertainly.
“How would standing up for us benefit him in any way? We can’t even give him anything.” The old ghost shook its head.
“Maybe too much water has gotten into his brain and turned him into a fool.” guessed the mud monster.
In the World of Spirits and Souls, the idea of serving justice and doing good had never stayed. According to their understanding, it was only natural for the big to eat the small and the strong to oppress the weak…
For the small to fight the big, they would have to gather in a group to stand a chance at winning.
As for this kind of lone vigilantes, they could only refer back to their memories before death as well as some novels and biographies to find some recollection about them.
For them to meet one in reality would be a first.
The leader of the malevolent spirits was momentarily dazed. If it was because the other party had been aiming for the blood taxes in their possession, or even for them, and so appeared to provoke them, that would be understandable.
However, right now, the person was talking about things like “oppressing the innocent and exploiting civilians.” It was just too ridiculous!
Since when were there any ideas of civilians and the innocent in the World of Spirits and Souls? This was a jungle-like society. All spirits and souls followed the natural law of the weak being prey to the strong!
“You, I’m afraid you’re not just mentally handicapped!” The leader of the malevolent spirits said. “How we do things in the World of Spirits and Souls is none of your business!”
“Humph, everyone has a say in everything!” At this point, Vigilante A stretched out a finger, and a bunch of specters who were old, weak, sickly, and disabled appeared on the ground. All of them had a lifeless gaze and a frail body that seemed as if it would collapse at the slightest breeze…
“Look at them, and look at yourselves!” He went on berating. “It’s because of you stealing away the little Yin Energy left in their bodies that they’re left with nowhere else to go and barely surviving. I will not tolerate such an inhumane act!”
“Uh…” The leader of the malevolent spirits looked blank, taking quite a while to wrap its mind around the logic behind the actions of the person before it. Then it scorned. “So what? They’re weak, so they deserve to die!”
After saying that, it opened its mouth and pounced on the specters, trying to swallow them!
Yet, in the next moment, these bit-part specters vanished…and exited back to the System Hotel to claim their reward.
Fang Ning became speechless watching this. Sir System’s acting skills were still too unrefined, but should be sufficient to get by the Chivalry Rules.
The important thing was these malevolent spirits had no idea where the true limits of Vigilante A lay…
Unlike on Earth, those monsters and demons had already been taught to be civilized. They had all become as docile as a little white rabbit, and feared being caught by Vigilante A for any wrongdoing.
“Such savagery. I really must get rid of you!” Vigilante A kept all the specters away, and raised his voice as he spoke.
Following that, his human form vanished, and a fire dragon came forth out of thin air.
“It’s indeed a dragon!” the deputy malevolent spirit said excitedly.
“Eat it up, boss. This is an extremely rare opportunity,” the third-in-command malevolent spirit said just as eagerly.
When the fire dragon appeared, all the ghostly creatures on the marsh felt its natural intimidation and fled into the mud.
They might desire to possess dragon aura, but also clearly knew it was something they could not touch.
Only those malevolent spirits with their violent nature would have an inherent resistance to Dragon Force. They would not give in to surface authority, and would only submit to real power.
“Very well. Number Two, Number Three, Tri-spirit Fusion. I’ll form the head!” After the malevolent spirit boss saw the fire dragon in front of him and sensed it, the temptation became too great for it to withstand as well, and it gave that command to its two companions.
While still speaking, its body transformed into a giant head.
“I’ll be the torso!” the deputy malevolent spirit quickly said and transformed into a giant torso.
“Damn it. I’m always the weapon…” As the third-in-command malevolent spirit spoke, it transformed into four limbs.
However, at that moment, the fire dragon suddenly charged forward, and just as the three of them were about to fuse together, it swallowed the entire malevolent spirit head first!
This was not a cartoon animation where the main character would need to stupidly watch the enemy launch its ultimate attack.
