Chapter 150 - Penguin Gone?!!

Ryan looked towards the ancient ghost and slightly flinched his finger.

Crek~~!!

Came a sound, and one of the arrows on his body got loose. The cute penguin, like any other third-class fool, thought it happened by mistake and moved his right hand to make an attack on Ryan.

Lil Boy!!

Shouted Tom and pushed him back to the ground.

Ryan acted perfectly and looked at Tom like his life savior. "Bro, really I will be indebted to you for my entire life. And you!!" stared Ryan furiously towards the ancient ghost.

He had no idea that it was all Ryan's plan to divert their attention from the previous topic and shift it towards him. He perfectly played his role as a diversion and saved Ryan from a pinch.

"Kek~~~" a squeaking sound by the penguin.

"Just wait," said Ryan and snapped his finger. This time again he used another high tier spell called "The 9 arrows of Hades Eyes" and made him paralyse on top of the binding spell before.

The fight was getting completely one sided. All of them were thinking it would take them hardly another five to ten minutes to finish off that ancient ghost and return back.

While they were busy in their fantasy the mansion got hit by an earthquake. Everything around them started shaking. Nagisa got scared and held onto Ryan's back for safety. Ryan used his divine sense and tried to find the magnitude of the earthquake, as taught by her granny. And to his surprise, the magnitude was zero!!

Only two options came to his mind. Either his divine sense was playing with him or there wasn't any earthquake to begin with.

Ryan knew very well that his divine sense won't betray him. Then that means something else was going on there.

Amidst of the chaos, the ancient ghost took the chance and somehow escaped from the spells activated over him by Ryan.

Kek! Kek!! Kek!!

"Tremble you vermins, tremble. The Deity has responded to my summon, I will get my power soon."

Kek! Kek!! Kek!!

Ryan frowned over his threatening and waved his hand around him. Out of nowhere, a blue barrier appeared around them, protecting them from the effects of the earthquake.

Till then Nagisa was clenching onto his back and had closed her eyes. Once she felt the trembling had stopped, she opened her eyes and let him go.

Tom too was clenching onto Ryan's back and had closed his eyes in fear. Seeing the scene of a ghost getting afraid of an earthquake, small ghosts were getting funny ideas.

He wanted to pull some pranks on Tom but didn't dare to do it at a time like that.

"Kek!! As if it can save you from me," said the ancient ghost and jumped off from the window.

Ryan rushed near and tried to find out where he landed. But it was already late. That penguin was nowhere to be found. It was like he vanished in midair.

Ryan rubbed his eyebrows and turned around. "What should we do now?"

Ryan was becoming clueless there. First, all the ghosts he had sensed never showed up. Second, he scanned for the earthquake magnitude but never got a reading. And third, also the last. The main boss of the series jumped off and vanished!!

'What the fck is wrong with this story?' cussed Ryan.

He tried to cool off his head and search for the answers of his questions. While he was at it, Nagisa and Tom were looking around to find some clues about the ancient ghost.

All this time Tom and the ancient ghost were getting attracted by something, but they didn't know what. But after the ancient ghost left that room and jumped off from the window the feeling got stronger and they turned simultaneously towards a wardrobe, kept at a corner of the room.

Ryan and Nagisa noticed their odd behavior and asked them, what's wrong with them?

No reply~~~

The two ghosts kept on staring towards the wardrobe. Ryan didn't ask again and made his way toward the focus of their staring. He went near and opened the wardrobe.

"Cough, cough, cough, what's so special about this wardrobe?" asked Ryan. All he could find was some spider web and plenty of dust inside.

Nagisa too noticed something and moved near the wardrobe. "They are not staring at the wardrobe, but the book over it." Pointed out Nagisa.

"Oh~~!! Let me get it down," said Ryan and took out the book from its top.

Till then both of the ghosts were staring at the wardrobe. Ryan felt something was wrong with them. He mobilized his mental energy, imbued them on his hand, and Tung!!!

He clapped them once, to send some sound waves filled with mental energy towards them. Both of them responded to it and came to their senses at once.

"Oh, what happened? Why am I feeling pain in my head, even though I am dead?!"

"You were trapped in a mind trap, and I used the 73rd gong clap to release you from it."

Hearing the name Nagisa remembered the toy that she used to play in her childhood. A gorilla who used to clap when his key is turned on.

���Oh~~!!" exclaimed Tom and looked towards the book again.

Ryan noticed it and added, "This book had some cursed set on it, but worry not. I have removed them all."

"Okay~~"

"So, what's so special about it?" asked Ryan. Cause even though he removed all the traps and curses on it the two ghosts kept on staring at it endlessly.

"Wait a minute," said the ghost of Tom and moved near Ryan. He bite his own hand and made a small cut on his hand.

Violet liquid started flowing out of it. Ryan knew what was that liquid, but Nagisa was unaware of it.

"Friend Ryan…" she called out. Aryan understood what she wanted to ask and replied "Ghost Blood."

"Oh~~!!" exclaimed Nagisa and didn't ask further. She knew time was limited, and she can't waste it on something like that.

Tom moved his hand on top of that book and dropped some of his blood on it.

Suddenly, the book caught fire and started burning rapidly. Ryan got startled by it and dropped the book in panic.

Even though a normal fire was completely harmless for him, but better be safe than sorry. Why take the risk if you can avoid it.

He wanted to ask Tom what happened and why it started burning? But seeing the two ghosts had a tensed expression on his face, he refrained from asking and waited for some more time.

The book was burnt to ashes, and nothing magical happened. Both Ryan and Nagisa were confused about it. They were expecting something magical to happen.

Like some characters will come out of it, or some sound will start telling them a story. But to their dismay, nothing happened!!

Ryan was running out of patience and asked out, "Broo Tom, what are you trying to do?"

Like the previous time, this time too, he didn't respond. After remaining quiet for a while he said, "Do it."

"Do what?!" asked Ryan. Nagisa pulled his back and pointed out towards the small ghost.

Like Tom, the small ghost too made a wound on him and dropped some ghost blood on the ashes of the burned-out book.

Ryan had no idea what they were doing, nor he wanted to know about it. Cause since the ancient times there has been a belief that learning spells and techniques of ghosts or from ghosts will put a curse on you.

A curse that will leech them of their life force. And at one point they will end up losing their life and becoming a cursed ghost.

Suddenly, the room became dark. The ashes of the books started levitating. Both of them understood something was going to happen and took some steps back. They maintained some distance between the book and themselves to avoid getting hit by curses.

The ashes ignited a fire and began to glow crimson red. Ryan felt something was wrong and was about to stop it from happening. But before he did, Tom and the lil ghost pour some more blood on it and let it burn rapidly.

Suddenly, a skull shape was formed mid-air. Ryan frowned and prepared his holy spells for it. He had no idea what was happening; he was blindly trusting Tom for this.

"O' the book of the Ghost Empire,

So your true forms to your keens

And give us knowledge of the world after."

Listening to the chants, Ryan was feeling as if he was seeing a grand summoning of a grand villain. But to his pleasure, it was nothing of that sort.

He was getting an ominous feeling from the book, but not any malice from Tom and the small ghost.

The ashes turned crimson red and started filling the skull. Just within a fraction of minutes, a new book emerged in the view.

Brown cover, silver-white pages, and a crimson red skull. All in all a perfect material from the land of ghosts.

Tom went near and browsed through its pages and started reading something. Till then he hadn't answered anything to Ryan.

This time more than Ryan, Nagisa was getting curious about it. Since her family had a background with ghosts, spirits, and exorcists she was getting an itch to go near and touch it.

Ryan saw the enthusiasm on her face and asked, "Nagi chan, more than confused why are you feeling excited about it?"

"Why not?" answered Nagisa.. For her things like this can be a useful experience, that she had got by chance and she didn't want to let it go to waste.
