In the next moment, he felt his wrist being grabbed tightly and pulled!
Layton felt elated.
The bait worked?
Who is this? They must be skilled in underwater combat, he thought.
It was impressive that they could hold their breath for so long and were so strong!
Layton smirked coldly and was about to pull the force dragging him down.
But then, Blake’s voice came from behind him. “It’s here! Layton, hold on!”
Layton was about to say that he had everything under control, that he had enough experience.
However, in the next moment, he saw a pale white hand emerge from the water and grab his other hand, pulling it as well.
With a splash, Layton fell into the water!
As he fell, Layton, wearing a red dress, let out a piercing cry, “Help… someone has fallen into the water…”
He had sharp eyes and could open them underwater.
Layton turned around to grab the person’s hands, pulling hard to see who it was.
He was met with a pale face drained of color, with its eyes rolled back!
Next to it was a young girl, glaring at him.
Layton thought, What the heck, these are some big water weeds!
Layton was not as calm as Blake. The shock made him swallow water, and before he could blink, the two ‘people’ had dragged him to the bottom of the water.
At the last moment, the necklace he was wearing emitted a faint glow as Blake’s voice echoed in the air.
“Get her, Layton! Don’t let her escape!”
Suddenly, his feet were grabbed.
Layton grabbed both wrists and pulled hard. With a loud splash –
Two bodies were pulled out of the water and landed on the boat with a thud!
Before Layton could react, his vision darkened at the edges, and he fainted.
Lilly held onto the amulet, shouting loudly,
“Ha!”
The wooden sword attached to the amulet flew out, impaling the two corpses who were trying to escape onto the boat.
Edward and the others were terrified.
They thought they were dealing with ‘spirits’ and wouldn’t be able to see them, only watching Lilly catch them.
But these two were clearly not spirits, but bodies.
Lilly remembered what her Master had told her. She wasn’t strong enough yet and shouldn’t handle spirits on her own.
But if she didn’t put these water spirits to rest, her amulet wouldn’t last long enough to impale them on the boat. Her Master wouldn’t make it back in time.
She recalled her Master’s words. Her red bracelet was strong enough to repel.
Yes, that would be enough, Lilly thought to herself.
Lilly approached the two water spirits, placing her hands on her waist and lifting her chin. “Come at me, I dare you!”
Her expression was nothing but arrogant…
Blake and Anthony were speechless.
One of the corpses seemed particularly enraged, lunging at Lilly!
Blake was startled. “Lilly!”
Lilly instinctively put her hands in front of her, and a bright red light burst out…
The corpse was struck by the red light and was thrown back. The spirit within the corpse was also expelled, howling and shrieking.
As soon as the spirits were expelled, the two corpses began to emit a foul smell. They started to decay rapidly, turning into disgusting puddles.
Edward could hardly contain his shock. “Did you get them?”
Wow, his niece was amazing!
Lilly replied, “Not yet!”
She held onto the wooden sword with the attached amulet and rushed forward.
“Take that! Die!”
She swung the sword wildly, thrashing about.
Without the amulet restraining them, the water spirits were about to break free.
Lilly exclaimed, “Life is full of surprises! You’re in for it, you foul villains!”
With a loud “pfft”…
The spirits were sent flying by a fart.
Anthony, Blake, and Edmund wondered, Did that actually work?
Before they could regain their composure, Lilly could be seen tossing her jar of souls. “Come on…”
The harem spirit flew out.
The three spirits had been playing a game of rummy in the jar, and the harem spirit was just about to entice the weakling spirit to join when she was thrown out.
She saw the two resentful spirits charging towards her and didn’t hesitate to deliver a harsh slap.
Resentful spirits were no match for malignant spirits.
The resentful spirit with the loudest cry was pinned down by the harem spirit, unable to move.
“Hooo… Hooo!!!” she struggled in a fit of rage.
Suddenly, the spirit of the girl beside her dropped to her knees and sobbed, “Please, release my mother…”
Edward and Jean were in a state of shock, their jaws dropped open.
They stared at Lilly’s audacious provocation, listening to her challenge for a fight.
Then she recited some prayers and attacked with a fart… and it worked!
Before they could regain their composure, she had thrown out the jar of souls and shouted, “Come on!”…
They couldn’t see much more after that. After all, the water spirits had already been drawn out.
The harem spirit herself was quite bewildered too.
She had entered this battle like any other, and was restraining a resentful spirit when the one next to it fell to her knees and began begging for forgiveness for her mother. What was happening?
