Chapter 74

Several black tentacles grew out of Jack's severed head and connected to his fallen body.

After putting his head back, Jack stretched his neck and walked over to Black Three's corpse. Either Black Three had been provoked by Jack's words, or he didn't want to live in the first place. He took out a flint from his pocket and poured some strong alcohol on the corpse. After lighting the fire, he set the corpse on fire.

"Although you couldn't feel warmth when you were alive, your corpse can still be warmed up after death" Jack shook his head helplessly: "Why do you have to hate the world for no reason? If you want to hate someone, you should hate the time"

Jack tossed the half-broken dagger in his hand away. The reason why he was able to kill Black Three despite missing the other party was because of his secondary soul's ability.

The Ghostmen were Undead who had been implanted with secondary souls. Secondary souls were modified from remnant souls, and because their [Origin] had been separated from their main body, they would obtain an effect similar to [Secondary Origin] release.

For example, Negri had awakened the ability to control his symbiotic germs. Due to it being [Secondary Origin] release, this ability was very weak at first. Negri's [Germ Domination] had only become stronger as his soul continued to grow, and it was extremely difficult to upgrade, so he couldn't compare to Sieh Mother-in-law who had released her [Origin] through normal means.

Of course, as Negri continued to mutate his germs, the abilities he developed also infinitely increased the power of [Germ Domination]. This was also the reason why Sieh Mother-in-law worshipped Negri so much.

The secondary soul that Jack had implanted had awakened a new ability, which Jack named [Killing Intent Domination].

However, the difference was that the killing intent he controlled wasn't his own, but the killing intent of others.

When Jack used his ability, if others had killing intent towards Jack, this killing intent would be collected by his ability. This killing intent could then be used by him to form a weapon. Although Jack's broken dagger didn't hit the other party, the killing intent on it had slashed through the other party's head, causing serious damage to the other party's spirit. Not long after, he died.

In other words, the more killing intent others displayed towards Jack, the stronger he would become. And causing others to display killing intent towards him was Jack's forte.

The flames flickered. Jack did not go to help the others, nor did he go to the castle to stop the ritual that was getting more and more complete. Instead, he sat beside the bonfire of the corpses and stretched out his hands to warm himself.

Although the Living Dead had an almost immortal body, they also lost many things at the same time. Because there was a barrier between the soul and the body, they had almost no sense of smell, so he didn't feel that the smell of burning corpses was very unpleasant.

"Damn it, where is this fatty's weakness?" Black Two continuously attacked Connor Kenway, leaving all sorts of wounds on the fat man's body. However, these wounds healed in the blink of an eye.

The undying body itself didn't have any fatal wounds. Their bodies were composed of germs, as long as the germs that made up their bodies weren't destroyed in large amounts, they could easily be repaired.

"Don't rush, take it slow. That guy Al was killed because he was too hasty." Black Two thought to himself. Although he didn't know why the other party didn't stop the completion of the Evil Spirit ritual, once the ritual was completed, the newborn Evil Spirit Ellis would become extremely powerful, and the Evil Spirits bred by the stone of the Black Abyss would be driven by the power of the Black Abyss, so they would definitely be able to kill these people.

"That's more than enough" Connor, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. Black Two, who was running behind him and preparing to continue his attack, suddenly fell to the ground. Numerous wounds appeared all over his body, blood instantly gushed out, and his life was slowly slipping away.

The ability that Connor Kenway's secondary soul gave him was called [Damage Reflection]. Every time someone attacked him, the reflected damage would accumulate on the attacker's body. If these reflected damages exploded individually, according to the ratio, every time an attacker stabbed Connor, they would only cause a small wound.

But when these damages accumulated and exploded at the same time, it would become a terrifying ability, especially when combined with Connor's undying body, this ability was almost invincible.

"Ahahaha, your companions are all dead, it's your turn now" Cadiz swung his spear while Black One was gasping for breath in front of him.

He had a feeling that this spear-wielding man in front of him had the ability to kill him a long time ago, but he had been dragging it out. There was no ulterior motive behind this stalling, it was purely because he wanted to see Black One's pain and despair.

This kind of person was an evil person from head to toe. He loved to see others suffer, loved to bring pain and despair to others, and loved to torture others. He didn't do bad things for money or anything else, he simply enjoyed the pleasure of doing bad things.

Just like how he chose to become a pirate to plunder others, it wasn't that he couldn't survive, on the contrary, his original life was quite rich. He chose to become a pirate ship purely for the sake of becoming a pirate. He was such an evil person from head to toe, but one had to admit that his luck was quite good, he chose to rely on Negri and obtained the power of a Ghostman.

"Howl, show me your pain!" Cadiz retreated to avoid Black One's attack, and his spear shot forward at an extremely fast speed, taking advantage of the gap between Black One's attacks to stab into his body: "Then despair!"

Cadiz twisted his spear and pulled it backwards, pulling out blood along with intestines. Although under the effect of the black fog, it didn't cause any further damage, but Black One wasn't going to survive for much longer.

He half-crouched on the ground, his eyes filled with madness under his black mask. Holding the ceremonial blade in his hand, he suddenly laughed: "You're too arrogant, the Evil Spirit ritual has been completed. Although Ellis hasn't become the Chopped Hand yet, she can definitely kill you now. Your souls will be devoured by her, and the Black Abyss will return!!"

In the castle behind him, a large number of corpses had become dried corpses, the stone of the Black Abyss inside their bodies was also full of cracks and could shatter into powder at the slightest bit of external force.

And inside Ellis' body, the stone of the Black Abyss that was full of tiny holes was overflowing with a large amount of aura. The newborn Evil Spirit called Ellis roared as it rushed out from the window, revealing its gigantic soul form in front of everyone.

The Ghostmen were originally the Undead, so they could naturally see souls. And Sieh Mother-In-Law, who had been standing in the distance without making any movements, was also a Witch who had released her [Origin] once, so seeing souls was a basic skill for her.

Ellis' soul form was gigantic, but due to the Evil Spirit ritual, this soul form didn't maintain a human appearance. She resembled a giant mask with a smiling woman on it, while dozens of tentacle-like soul belts floated around the mask.
