When Monsoon sensed Gloria's chanting, the surrounding spiritual energy did not fluctuate at all. However, he felt an invisible energy fluctuating around him. The reason he was able to perceive it was because his Spiritual Force was extremely strong. He immediately thought of the grey spiritual force in his sea of consciousness. It seemed that besides the spiritual energy in the world, there was also another power that he couldn't see. This was the kind of power Necromancers trained in. He even started to wonder if the grey spiritual energy he had also meant that he could cultivate Necromancy. However, he immediately suppressed this thought. This was because he did not have the time to think about this issue at the moment.

Hearing Gloria's chanting, Ji Feng spoke up. "What your Lord Ocott wants is alive. Aren't you afraid that he will be angry after killing me?"

As soon as Ji Feng finished his sentence, Gloria stopped her incantation. Seeing this scene, Ji Feng immediately had an idea. It seemed that the higher-ups wanted to capture him alive. What he had just said seemed more like a bet. If he lost, he would die immediately. If he won, it meant that he still had a chance. In the end, he won the bet. Since he was sure of this, Ji Feng had a plan in mind.

He said, "I was just casually saying, why do you have such a big temper? Actually, you look pretty good, right? Really, at least you don't lack noses or eyes, right?"

Gloria immediately went berserk. As she raised her white bone staff, she almost subconsciously took a few steps forward and stood in front of the bone prison.

This was exactly what Ji Feng wanted. From the battle earlier, he could tell that Gloria lacked combat experience. Otherwise, he would have been restrained long ago.

The stimulated Gloria wasn't as simple as rushing to the bone prison. She started to chant as well. In her fury, she had forgotten Ocott's orders. All she had to do was kill Monsoon.

However, her chant came to an abrupt halt, because her right arm was grabbed by the monsoon. Suddenly, the other hand of the monsoon grabbed her neck.

The moment Ji Feng grabbed Gloria by the neck, he immediately pressed her body against the bone prison. The right hand that was holding her right arm immediately loosened and tightly pressed against her fontanel. At the same time, she began to use the soul orb to devour her spirit energy.

Since Asa and Reginald had not yet returned, the monsoon divided some of its consciousness to survey the situation in the sea of consciousness. He immediately saw that the spiritual force in the whirlpool was grey. He really wanted to see the situation inside the soul orb, but he was worried that Asa and Reginald would suddenly return, so he gave up on this idea.

Terrified, Gloria didn't expect that someone could absorb the spiritual force of others. At this moment, she finally understood why the monsoon had targeted her from the start. This was what he had always wanted. The words he had spoken just now were to provoke her, to make her lose her temper. He had succeeded.

Gloria wanted to break free from Ji Feng's control, but his grip on her neck was too tight and she couldn't make a sound. Moreover, Ji Feng was devouring her mental power. As a mage, she couldn't use any of his abilities. He could only allow the monsoon to do as it pleased.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came closer. Soon, three people appeared in the line of sight of Monsoon and Gloria. The three of them were none other than Reginald and Asa, who had gone to capture Melinda. Melinda had been caught and was being held under Reginald's left arm. However, she did not struggle because she had already lost all her strength. Furthermore, after hearing from Reginald that Ji Feng had been restrained, she was slightly disheartened.

At first, she had thought that she would die together with Ji Feng, but instead, she saw the scene of Ji Feng strangling Gloria. Although he was still in the bone prison, upon seeing this hope, his spirit was immediately lifted.

Asa and Reginald were not in the best of moods and expressions compared to the excitement of Melinda. Originally, they had been very excited about capturing the chance to receive the rewards, but they hadn't expected to see this scene when they returned. Although they were just Gloria's temporary bodyguards, their duty was to do everything they could to protect her. If necessary, they would even sacrifice their own lives. As members of the organization of Necromancers, their status as fighters wasn't as high as Necromancers. Thinking of the reward they were about to miss, both of their moods suddenly turned bad.

The storage room for Necromancers had a lot of good items. Not only were there weapons, there were also various materials and potions. There were both Fighters and Mages. Of course, these resources belong to the organization. In order to obtain it, one had to pay a price, such as performing meritorious deeds. Therefore, within the organization, there is a huge rush for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Very quickly, Asa and Reginald, who was carrying Melinda, stopped about ten steps away from the bone prison. They did not move forward to avoid the monsoon. Even though they had hostages in their hands, they didn't dare to get too close. If the monsoon went for broke, they would be punished. The punishment from the organization sent chills down one's spine. They had seen the wrong people being punished. The scene of a mutated thumb-sized corpse worm crawling out of the body was still fresh in his mind.

Thus, Gilbert's death caused Deimos and Karl to muster up their courage to make up for it. If they were able to catch Monsoon and Melinda before the others did, they might be exempted from punishment. Even if they didn't, it would be a lot easier.

Initially, when Ji Feng saw them walking over, he intended to stop them. However, he saw that they had stopped ten steps away from him. He knew at once that he was going to succeed again.

He said, "You've done very well. Next, please let my wife go."

"Let's switch."

As Reginald spoke, he released Melinda. After falling to the ground, Melinda immediately stood up. She knew that the two parties had not yet come to an agreement, so she did not walk towards the monsoon. It wasn't that she didn't want to go, but she knew that since Reginald dared to put her down, he wasn't afraid that she would run away. It was better to be more honest than to be humiliated again. Ji Feng's eyes flashed with approval at her reaction.

Ji Feng spoke, "No problem, but you all have to leave first. When I feel safe, I will let her go."

"How do we know you won't kill her?" It was Asa.

Monsoon knew that Asa had said this because he had killed Gilbert. However, he had to kill him. Otherwise, his secret would be exposed. If the leaders here knew that he could absorb spiritual force, his situation would be even more difficult.

Moreover, he had already made up his mind that if Asa and Reginald were taken away by him, he would find an opportunity to kill this female Necromancer. Of course, he had also thought of making her speechless or even seriously disabled. However, he was facing an organization of Necromancers. Moreover, this place was clearly the lair of Necromancers. If they wanted him to not kill this female Necromancer, they would know his secret.

"The reason why I killed that Necromancer was because when I let him leave, he tried to attack me. That's why I killed him. I promise I won't hurt her as long as she doesn't try to attack us. "

After hearing what Ji Feng said, Gloria was so frightened that she couldn't help but feel angry. She had almost completely absorbed the spiritual force that she had cultivated for many years, and it was still not considered an injury. As a magus, without spiritual energy, he might as well kill her. One could only imagine, even if Ji Feng kept his promise and released her, she would still be a cripple when she returned to the organization. Becoming a cripple wasn't scary, what was scary was being used as trash. It could be used for experiments, or it could be used to refine something like a puppet. At that time, her soul would be sealed within her body and she would feel a sense of happiness even if she died. In the headquarters, there were many training mistakes, and all the fighters and Necromancers ended up like this. It was also called, "Contribution to the organization." No one was willing to contribute so much to the organization, including her. However, being restrained by the monsoon, not only was she unable to speak, but she was also unable to send out any messages. Asa and Reginald saw only her horror.
