Figure after figure manifested behind Lei Yi. They were dressed in simple, tattered clothes, but their eyes were all equally pure.

A few...

A dozen...

Hundreds...

Countless figures stood in perfect formation, their faces filled with solemnity and gravity.

Personality Manifestation. One man, an army.

An even more terrifying, immense killing aura spread out from Lei Yi, and the air seemed to completely freeze.

This killing aura shot into the heavens, coalescing into a translucent banner. It fluttered in the sky, seeming as if it would never break.

Killing Fist, Military Soul Array!!

Lei Yi’s eyes flickered with confusion. The very boundaries of his self seemed to be dissolving.

This was a side effect of the personality manifestation.

In the past, he had suffered greatly from the influence of these many personalities. After breaking through to Saint Awakening, he had constructed a mountain village—a pure land—in the depths of his mind, placing the personalities of the fallen Warriors there. It was tantamount to an alternative form of Seal.

Once these personalities all emerged, while it granted him a terrifyingly vast Magnetic Field Power, the impact of countless minds would also cause him to once again face the blurring of his own identity. Regaining his composure would be no easy task.

But he couldn’t worry about that now. He had only one thing on his mind: to cut down his opponent!

"I never thought your body was hiding so many ’souls.’ And their ’purity’ is truly astounding... If I devour you, I can recover everything I’ve lost!!"

Seeing the densely packed, translucent personality manifestations behind Lei Yi, a greedy light burst from Ghost Night’s eyes.

To him, every manifestation Lei Yi had produced was an extremely pure and resilient soul—the finest of supplements.

"You won’t get the chance."

Lei Yi stood before all the Heroic Spirits and assumed a fist-fighting stance, facing Ghost Night.

Feet staggered, one in front of the other, knees slightly bent.

And behind him, all the Heroic Spirits assumed the exact same pose.

Preparing to charge!

"You’re wrong. Summoning these souls was your greatest mistake!!"

Ghost Night let out a low shout. The Evil God Balaka, formed from the blood mist around him, suddenly raised its massive scythe.

ROAR!!

It was as if a primitive roar had erupted from the Evil God’s mouth. A circle, like a black hole, appeared above Balaka’s head.

Chants and music, like a sacrificial ritual, emanated from the black hole, seeming to possess some extremely special power.

A tremendous pulling force emanated from the black hole. Both Rajana and Lei Yi felt an irresistible tug on their minds and consciousness. Their control over their own magnetic fields was severely affected.

The pulling force was especially strong for the Heroic Spirits standing behind Lei Yi.

For a moment, the many Heroic Spirits were bound by the Soul Vortex. This, in turn, affected Lei Yi, who served as their anchor.

The collective strain of manifesting all the personalities at once bore down on him in that single moment.

Lei Yi was involuntarily thrown into a stunned state.

Authority, Soul Vortex!

In the ancient Shaman Tribes, Balaka was the Divine Being who presided over death, slaughter, and terror, coveting powerful flesh and pure souls. Under Ghost Night’s deliberate cultivation, its ability to manipulate soul-based magnetic fields had been greatly enhanced.

In a way, it was the Death God incarnate!

While Lei Yi’s killing aura countered Ghost Night’s Insect Totem and Netherworld Curse Binding, the Evil God Balaka countered Lei Yi’s strongest technique: the Military Soul Array!

Elsewhere, Rajana was in much better shape than Lei Yi. However, his magnetic field medium was still under the enemy’s control. Coupled with the effects of the Soul Vortex, his power was weakened even further.

With its very first move, the Evil God Balaka displayed truly formidable power.

"Well then, the hunt officially begins."

A vicious smile touched Ghost Night’s lips. Balaka swung its menacing scythe and turned toward Lei Yi.

’Between the two of them, I have Rajana’s magnetic field medium firmly under my control, giving me a huge advantage. As long as I take care of Lei Yi, this battle is over.’

’This can’t go on. Lei Yi won’t last much longer. We have to break the enemy’s attack!’ A sharp glint flashed in the old commander’s eyes. Just as he was about to act, a young figure suddenly shot past him from behind.

This youthful-looking personality manifestation instantly gave up all resistance to the Soul Vortex. Instead, it propelled itself forward, charging suicidally toward the vortex at extreme speed.

"Old Commander, I’m going! Blowing up pillboxes, I’m a pro at that!"

The young man’s hearty laughter echoed through the air.

"Old Dong!!"

Cries rang out from among the Heroic Spirits.

"Foolish!"

A mocking smile touched Ghost Night’s lips as he directed Balaka to swing its scythe precisely at the incoming Heroic Spirit. The young spirit had no way to dodge.

"DETONATE!!"

The young Heroic Spirit roared, and its magnetic field body suddenly detonated just before the scythe struck. An incredibly pure and immense killing aura erupted outward, actually causing Balaka’s attack to pause for a split second.

"It’s working! Brothers, let’s blow up this damn pillbox!"

"Charge! Charge!!"

"There’s no pass we can’t break through, no river we can’t cross, and no pillbox we can’t blow up!!"

"Victory! Victory!!"

"..."

Roars erupted from the Heroic Spirits. Wave after wave, they ceased resisting the vortex’s pull and used it to charge frantically toward the Evil God Balaka.

Nearly a third of the Heroic Spirits surged forward in a dense, unending tide, their killing auras soaring to the heavens.

This astonishing scene left Ghost Night momentarily stunned.

He held a weapon capable of reaping souls, but in that moment, he had no idea where to swing.

’Just what... what kind of monsters are these guys?!’

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

Muffled booms of detonating magnetic fields erupted all around Ghost Night. The immense Killing Aura Magnetic Fields exploded continuously from all directions, and for a moment, he was unable to stop them.

Amidst this suicidal assault, the black hole above Balaka’s head actually shattered abruptly.

’How is this possible?! They’re supposed to be my prey!!’

The instant the Soul Vortex disintegrated, the influence on Lei Yi vanished, and he immediately regained his senses.

The final moments of the exploding Heroic Spirits were reflected in his eyes, but there was no sadness in them.

’Any sadness would be an insult to such a heroic act. There’s only one thing I have to do now.’

’And that is to win.’

"Charge! Charge!!"

At Lei Yi’s furious roar, all the remaining Heroic Spirits charged with him, launching the final counterattack against Ghost Night!

Military Soul Array, charge!!
