Chapter 157: The Attack. (2/2)

It was a simple slash, but was also not simple.

*Shriek!*

An incomprehensible sound came out from the creature as it revealed its actual appearance. Its smoke-like body swam away from the corner and it materialized in front of Jake.

From the way it snarled, it revealed its face, which was formless, barely able to gain a humanoid face.

'A wraith,' thought Jake.

If he hadn't sensed its presence on time, he might have already been killed by the creature.

”What are you doing?” a loud scream covered the building.

'Hmmmm….' Jake took his eyes off the wraith and focused on the commotion.

Just like he had seen, the ghost had successfully managed to possess Archer.

Now, Archer was being controlled to attack the others.

'They can take care of it,' mused Jake.

He actually didn't care if they died, but he will probably die along with them.

'I have to focus on the wraith,' decided Jake.

Ducking an attack from it, Jake distanced himself.

He couldn't afford to physically touch it. So, he would rely on long-distance attacks.

'What should I use? It doesn't touch the ground. It's incorporeal and can use any part of its 'body. I don't know its weakness, but it's probably something that anchors its physical aspects,' analyzed Jake.

He didn't want to take any risk. So, he kept the wraith, evading its attack. Yet, it wasn't as simple as he imagined.

Just the wraith was enough to keep his full attention!

Archer, on the other hand, wasn't having a good time.

He found himself shooting arrows at the others. He couldn't stop it, his muscles wouldn't obey it

”What is happening to me,” Archer voiced out.

He was glad that he could still speak.

*Pui!* *Pui!*

Archer was one of the best archer that was on this island. His every shot was aimed perfectly and could cause substantial damage.

This caused trouble for Eden, River, Sea, and Renee, who couldn't get close to him.

He was totally locking them down. Eden knew he could get in a good slash, but he would possibly kill Archer if he did that.

He shouted to the latter, ”Archer, listen to me. You are being controlled. My guess is that it's a ghost. It's not strong enough to gain total control of your body, try to resist it!”

*Shui!*

Rain of arrows fell on the group as they tried to talk their way into Archer.

They were lucky that the ghost couldn't control Archer's energy, or else, the scale of the fight would have spiraled.

”Grr-rrr. I'm trying. The influence is strong. Get out of me!!” shouted Archer.

His weak arm obeyed him and held down the other arm.

In one body, two different beings fought for control!

The weaker arm was slowly losing when Archer remembered something.

He quit the fight and used his arm to rub on his necklace.

Immediately, a bright white light encased him and freed him from captivity.

*Shriek!!*

The ghost which had been banished from his body disappeared from their sight after being injured by the white light.
