Chapter 38 - Hybrid Water Ghost

Ghost... Ghost... Ghost!

Elvida and Ghu Dwo found their hands trembling uncontrollably when they heard Dorian's words.

But it wasn't just them, but every single guard who felt every gut and muscle in their body tighten.

They wanted to laugh it off as if convincing themselves that it was a joke.

But seeing Dorian's stern expression only made everyone feel like they were swimming in unknown territory.

Even Zhulyn and Raulin were so shocked that they were practically numb at this time.

This was also their first time hearing of such a thing.

So how could they only be blown away?

They looked at Butler Sheng for confirmation, only to see him nodding, leaving them more fearful than ever.

For sure, a larger part of their mind still told them it was a lie.

But remembering the words Dorian said earlier, made their throats go dry.

Indeed, what if the enemy wasn't human?

At that time, they thought it was a joke.

However, it seems like the Master was serious.

However... could it be true?

Do they actually exist?

Mommy... Was this what the Tian family really did?

.

Ghu Dwo took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down before squeezing out a dry laugh.

"Young Master Tian.

Forgive me... but I think we all know if such things don't exist.

Talks like that can get you locked away, so I suggest you stop joking and get to the real root of the problem." 

Yes!

On hearing Ghu Dwo, everyone suddenly woke up and pushed their ridiculous thoughts away again.

Such things don't exist... Such things don't exist.

Such things don't exist...

Dorian, who heard Ghu Dwo, lifted his left brow before snapping his fingers.

~Snap!

~Brrmm.

The candles around Sota all lit up, causing everyone's expression to freeze.

-Silence-

Blank. Empty. 

Their minds went empty.

And even Windock was completely shocked beyond belief.

What did he just see?

Magic?

This... This... How was this possible?

The rest were still in disbelief, even with the facts before them.

But Elvida was different.

She looked at her son and saw him nodding as if saying it was true.

And only then did she hold Ghu Dwo so firmly as if her very life depended on it.

"Sota... Sota... tell mother. Is it true?"

Everyone stayed silent, waiting for his reply.

"Yes, mother. Something has been following me for the past week. I always feel cold, and I can also feel that my health is getting worse as well. I was afraid that if I told you all, you would think I'm mentally ill."

Elvida's legs went weak.

Whether ghosts exist or not, she only believed in her son's words.

A waterfall of tears trickled down her face nonstop as she gazed at Dorian pleadingly.

"Please! Please! Help him!

We'll pay you whatever you want! Just... Just save Sota!!"

Listening to his son and seeing his wife like this, Ghu Dwo fell silent.

It wasn't that he didn't believe his son's words... but it was all just that such a thing, without any real evidence, was still hard for his mind to digest.

That's right. Unless he saw one himself, he still had doubts.

Could it be that someone hypnotized his son to think so?

That is, if they truly existed, then how come he had never seen one?

.

"I said I'll save young master Sota, so there's no need for all this. But I'm curious, though...

Sota... how come you never used the thing I gave you?"

Sota smiled awkwardly: "I... I wanted to use it last night, but my guards came in just in time to save me."

Dorian nodded amidst everyone's curiosity before calling Zhulyn, Raulin and Butler Sheng to get closer.

Zhulin and Raulin's hearts trembled a bit.

But Butler Sheng was as calm as ever: "Young Master... Here's the book."

Dorian held the book he spent all night doing.

Basically, it detailed all the demons they fought, showing all their weaknesses, strengths and even too... He also went ahead to write on all grades of the particular demon types.

Because as one knows, demons grow stronger and could also evolve into higher demons.

He not only wrote them down but drew them too.

Of course, the moment he saw Sota and felt the aura around him earlier on, he also added 3 other underworld creatures that he speculated might be after Sota.

Well, he used an image relaying spell to just imprint every little detail he saw there, as well as what he knew from his previous world.

He planned to open an academy soon, so he had to start imparting his knowledge too.

Of course, the system also awarded him with some books as well.

It sent the knowledge to his brain as well as gave him a hard copy too.

So moving on in future, combining what he already knew with the system's, his Academy shouldn't lack much.

.

Dorian shook his head at Butler Sheng: "You're all in training. So you read it."

With that, he flicked his wrists, and the book suddenly opened to page 68, revealing a very revolting image.

The Hybrid Water Ghost.

Everyone who saw this was once again left in shock as they felt their entire bodies bubbling like a volcano.

How did he do that?

Could it be that there was some trick involved like the magic tricks on T.V?

As for the trainee exorcists, when on the job, they always had to make sure the clients knew what they were here for and all the dangers surrounding the matter.

Thus, payments should be fair and never be a hassle.

Dorian hated unnecessary disputes.

Butler Sheng quickly became alert while Raulin and Zhulyn surrounded him to see what was written there.

And instantly, everyone fell quiet as the wind from nowhere caused their hairs to stand while listening to Butler Sheng.

"The Hybrid Water Ghost.

Gender- Has None.

The Hybrid water Ghost is a half-ghost half-demon, an evil entity that preys on the Yang of its victims, sucking them dry and leaving them mummified.

And after finishing off the victim, they move on to the next person in the victim's family, enjoying the grief and sucking up all the Yang around until the entire family collapses."

Boom!

Everyone's mind went numb as their eyes widened in horror.

So if it eventually dealt with Sota, it would then come for them?

What a vicious being!

Even if they didn't fully believe it yet, Ghu Dwo, Windock and everyone else were still immensely angered by it all.

Sota was also shocked and depressed as well.

He had no idea that his reckless behaviour in the cemetery would cause such a thing to follow his family.

No! He had to get rid of this thing now.

.

After Butler Sheng gave his brief summary of the Half-demon half-ghost, Sota gritted his teeth and looked at the grandmaster before him in determination.

"Grandmaster Dorian, where is that thing now?"

Yes. Where is it now?

Everyone had the same question in mind.

Where was the bastard thing?

(*^*)

Dorian chuckled at their reaction before glancing at Sota mysteriously.

"It's in You."

~Bam!

Dorian flicked several talisman coins on Sota's body like lightning.

And right before everyone's eyes, something unexplainable happened that made them move back in horror.

...Young Master Sota?....
