God damn it! We’ve all been fooled! The man isn’t the Evil. It’s the umbrella! The man was just a puppet that the umbrella had been controlling!

Lu Chen finally understood why there wasn’t a system notice after he killed the man. After all, what he killed was just a puppet that the Evil was controlling.

But it wasn’t the time to reflect on his mistakes now. When Lu Chen looked up, the dark shade covered his vision.

At the same time, there was a black mist that was released underneath the umbrella.

The black mist shrouded Lu Chen’s figure in just seconds and blurred him out from the visions of the others.

However, that was what the barbarians saw.

Lu Chen who was covered in the black mist was unclear about it. All he felt when the black mist surrounded him was coldness.

It’s cold!

The mist was frosty. What’s more was that the mist was seeping into Lu Chen’s body, paralyzing his movements.

If it was someone else in his place, the mist would’ve entered their body in a matter of seconds. By then, they would be possessed by it and made it yet another puppet of the umbrella Evil.

But this time, greed overtook its judgment. It chose Lu Chen as its next targeted puppet, hence, its nightmare begun.

Honestly, I would’ve been more afraid if you picked someone else to fight. But I’m glad you chose me!

One should never forget that although Lu Chen was a Swordsman in class, his biggest forte was never Agility nor Strength but Constitution.

A high Constitution invested with 44 attribution points endowed Lu Chen with an immense Vigor and absurd resistance to any negative buff.

Lu Chen had his heart severely wounded by the Evil in his first exchange with it.

If it was the others, they would have either fallen unconscious right on the spot or worse, their hearts could stop beating forever.

But Lu Chen pulled through with just a momentary blackout thanks to his Constitution.

Moreover, he even spat out a mouthful of blood and pushed back the umbrella’s follow-up assault.

Right now, even though the strange black mist was capable of turning a victim into its puppet, Lu Chen’s Vigor had them vaporized before the mist was able to enter his body.

The more black mist he vaporized, the more agitated his Vigor grew.

Dong, dong, dong…

The sound of his beating heart throbbed in the cold dark mist. The umbrella was releasing more mist out of it nonstop but Lu Chen showed no signs of fear.

I’m best in attrition warfare!

After all, I have 44 attribution points invested in my Consitution!

As he thought, Lu Chen made a cut on his palm and smeared the blood all over his hand. After all, he reached his bloody hand out for the umbrella above him.

Come on, you mongrel. Show me whatchu got! We’ll see if it’s me that run out of Vigor and die first or it’s you that I kill first!

With much confidence in his body, Lu Chen grabbed the black umbrella with his hand. Immediately, sounds of hissing could be heard coming from the spot where his bloody hand touched the umbrella.

It sounded like the corrosion of metal when it met a strong acid. The point of contact on the umbrella was rusting while more black mist was released from it.

On the other hand, the black mist was also harmful to Lu Chen. It was frosting Lu Chen’s skin and paralyzing his hand.

But right after the black mist affected Lu Chen’s skin, his Vigor would flow into his hand and vaporize them which made Lu Chen’s hand even more wounded every time.

However, Lu Chen didn’t flinch, not even the slightest.

Pain? I have the [Boiling Blood], it allows me to feel only half of the pain!

Combined with the Conqueror’s Haki that enhanced his willpower and the reduction of pain from the Boiling Blood, Lu Chen was able to withstand the enormous pain and even tighten his grip on the umbrella.

At the same time, he was spitting out mouthfuls of blood onto the umbrella.

In just a few moments, Lu Chen’s blood was all over him and the umbrella was also half-covered in his blood.

This time, the umbrella shook and felt fear for the first time.

It struggled to fly away but Lu Chen already found out its weakness before taking the risk. The black umbrella was never strong in strength, its strength was not even any close to the barbarians. Its forte was just its high-level swordsmanship.

Which was why Lu Chen dared to clash head-on with the black umbrella.

How can you, who have invested your abilities in sword skills and agility, ever compete against me, a barbarian who has invested my abilities in my body!

Once again, Lu Chen was proven right.

The black umbrella was no match for Lu Chen’s brute force. Its attempt to escape from Lu Chen’s grip was nothing but just a dream. No matter how hard it struggled, Lu Chen’s grip never softened for a bit.

After all, Lu Chen’s strength was only weak if he compared it to his physique. In reality, his strength that was thirty times stronger than the ordinary barbarians was already on par with the strength of a Barbarian Body Warrior.

There was no chance the umbrella Evil could escape Lu Chen’s hand.

Now then, it’s my turn!

With a ruthless smile, Lu Chen controlled his blood to gush out of the wounds on his hand and spill them onto the umbrella. Soon, his blood was already all over the whole umbrella.

Just when Lu Chen thought the battle was coming to an end, mixed and disrupted messages were released from the umbrella into his mind.

“Save… save me. I don’t want to die yet…”

“Demonic Umbrella? Is that you? I will give you everything I have if you give me your power!”

“Kill me, Ahhh…”

“I who have taken up the umbrella am not the same person anymore. Kill me…”

…

All kinds of messages were gushing into Lu Chen’s mind and he quickly realized that these were the memories belonging to the victims that the umbrella has possessed.

Of course, the umbrella wasn’t sending Lu Chen these messages as a gift. It was trying to use these mixed memories to attack Lu Chen’s soul and turn him into an idiot so it could seize the chance in possessing his body.

Sadly, a strong Vigor was also extremely useful against wraiths and the likes.

This was why ghosts would only possess victims who were weak, as those with a healthy and strong body could potentially scorch the ghosts’ essence.

And not only was Lu Chen’s body filled with Vigor that overflowed with positive energy, his Vigor also contained part of his willpower. Whatever kind of attacks were directed at his soul, they would all be filtered by the Vigor before they were able to get to his soul.

Hence, the wraiths would have to be scorched by his Vigor before they could infect his soul.

But most of the wraiths in the umbrella were shattered and in remnants, they were weak and fragile. A lot of them were scorched dead by his Vigor before they could enter his mind.

Whereas the rest of them were all severely injured after entering his mind.

But there was still the Conqueror’s Haki that enhanced his willpower in Lu Chen’s mind, a perfect suppressing force to the wraiths.

This killed the rest of the wraiths in his mind and the most the wraiths could do before death was to utter their grudges and last words in his mind.

As a result, Lu Chen only heard the murmuring whispers of the souls in his ears. Other than that, Lu Chen was all fine.

Makes sense. Ghosts only target those with a weak body and at the level I am now, my body is just like a walking torch to them, they could even be killed for getting too close.

Ah, how good is it to have a high Constitution and good body? Anything to tries to enter my body will have to be trialed by my Vigor.
