American Exorcism Male God

Chapter 56 Puppet Master



Mary Shaw's heart suddenly ached sharply, and as an evil spirit, she hadn't felt this in a long time.

Her soul was parasitic within the perfect puppet, and since it was a "perfect puppet," naturally it meant that she had to endure some of the minor flaws of a human body.

Mary Shaw ignored the sudden pain in her heart.

Not to mention just the pain, even if her heart exploded, it would only mean spending more effort to switch to another body.

But her complexion suddenly changed, turning deathly pale in a moment.

She found herself unable to move as if an invisible spear had pierced through her body, nailing her in place.

Xu Yi saw the panicked Mary Shaw and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Psychic Painter's ability was even more useful than he had imagined.

What he had just used was the Psychic Painter's ultimate ability, the "Judgment" that Xu Yi referred to as his ultimate move!

Judgment had to be used in conjunction with the psychic drawing, making it a combination move.

"Boss! This is the new exorcism technique you've mastered!" Ailent, who was nearly in his forties, was so excited by Xu Yi's prayer that he was boiling with enthusiasm.

This move, Judgment, didn't actually require the recitation of prayers to be used, though its power would be slightly reduced.

After using it, Xu Yi had also figured out the true nature of the prayers.

It wasn't that those words had any kind of magic power, but rather, through the act of prayer itself, one's inner spirit communication ability was harnessed to maximize its power.

However, he had to admit one thing—the prayer words did have some style to them.

Xu Yi took out the Exorcism Lighter, opened the bottom cover, twisted the hidden mechanism, and turned the lighter into a "Molotov Cocktail."

Having witnessed Hunter's bronze lamp, he felt that this kind of usage seemed quite common in the Exorcism World.

"Rest in eternal sleep!" Xu Yi threw the Exorcism Lighter in his hand.

The Exorcism Lighter, flickering with flames, spun towards Mary Shaw. Mary Shaw's face was filled with horror as she discovered that she couldn't transfer her soul.

It was as if an invisible chain was locking her soul firmly inside this body.

In other words, if this body were burned, she would die as well.

"No!" Mary Shaw roared in anger, trying to struggle, but all her efforts were in vain.

The Exorcism Lighter landed on Mary Shaw and exploded with a bang, the pale gold flames instantly enveloping her body.

Thick black mist rose from Mary Shaw, trying to resist the ethereal flames, but soon the mist dissipated, and the flames consumed Mary Shaw.

Mary Shaw screamed in agony, but she still couldn't move her feet, as if she were a statue being burned to nothing.

The flames gradually died down, and the body, like collapsing embers, shattered into dust on the ship.

Xu Yi no longer felt the presence of Mary Shaw; this time, Mary Shaw was truly dead.

Indeed, the death of Mary Shaw was just that natural, just that "common."

Mary Shaw was already at the end of her strength, and Xu Yi's ability of Judgment just happened to restrain her. If it had taken Xu Yi a great deal of effort to deal with her, he might have doubted whether he was too weak.

"You'll be credited with the first merit for this successful exorcism!" Xu Yi patted Ailent on the shoulder.

"What merit could I have, I only drove the car," said Ailent, a bit puzzled.

Xu Yi wasn't just comforting Ailent; he was speaking the truth.

To launch Judgment, the target had to be within a certain range.

If it weren't for Ailent's superb driving skills, recklessly chasing, Mary Shaw would have surely escaped long ago.

[Entry Devouring activated, devouring in progress...]

[Congratulations on obtaining a Blank Entry: Puppet Master (White Epic)]

[Congratulations on obtaining Entry Synthesis Path: Curse Puppet Master = Necromantic Spells + Puppet Master + Sculptor]

Xu Yi's eyes lit up instantly. Compared to the other synthesis path, "Enchantment Imprinter = Necromantic Spells + Sculptor + Soul Nurturing Technique,"

the Curse Puppet Master seemed even more promising!

He already had "Necromantic Spells" and "Puppet Master"; all that was missing was the final "Sculptor," which seemed a lot more reliable than the Enchantment Imprinter.

"Let's go! Find a small boat."

Xu Yi and Ailent jumped into a small boat, rowing towards Mary Shaw's boat.

The Ethereal Flame was very peculiar; after burning the evil spirit to ashes, it extinguished itself, and Mary Shaw's boat was not badly damaged.

"This thing is a hot potato too!" Xu Yi found the Lopez family's Exorcism Treasure Chest on the boat.

According to Hunter's instructions, the chest needed to be delivered to the Warrens, who would know how to handle it.

The Warrens, huh? Xu Yi mused internally.

He had heard of this renowned pair of exorcists before and never expected to be in contact with them so soon.

He definitely had to send the chest away. Although a whole chest of Exorcism Artifacts was tempting, Xu Yi was well aware that keeping it for himself would only lead to a myriad of problems.

The Lopez family would not just let it slide.

On the contrary, by returning the chest proactively, he could gain favor with the Lopez family. Then, he could use the Dagger of Rest openly and honorably. Hunter must have considered all these factors beforehand.

"Ailent, what are you doing?" Xu Yi frowned as Ailent squatted in front of a black chest, his eyes devoid of spirit.

"Boss! I just heard someone whispering in my ear!" Ailent suddenly woke up, retreating in horror.

Xu Yi was startled as well. Could it be that Mary Shaw was not dead?

Was she akin to a cockroach? The system's Entry Devouring had already been activated twice!

Xu Yi asked Ailent to move away, then he put on the necklace stained with mysterious blood and approached the black chest.

The black chest, which had fallen among the ashes, was an item Mary Shaw always carried with her. It seemed to be more highly regarded than the Lopez family's Exorcism Treasure Chest, which spoke volumes about Mary Shaw's concern for the chest.

Xu Yi cautiously opened the chest, and a low murmuring voice came through, as if a demon was whispering temptations in his ear.

Using his Spirit Communication Ability, Xu Yi resisted the whispers and saw what was inside the chest.

It was a skin scroll, but not of any skin type that Xu Yi recognized. It resembled human skin, but with much coarser pores.

It was imprinted with unknown symbols. Just glancing at it briefly made Xu Yi feel a strong sense of "contamination," leaving his spirit wilted.

He quickly shut the chest lid and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He had encountered this contamination before, on the tongue monster.

As a common evil spirit, for Mary Shaw to become so terrifyingly powerful, it must undoubtedly be related to this "human skin scroll."

"Don't touch this chest at all!" Xu Yi warned.

Ailent nodded repeatedly; he had already experienced the terror of the chest and wouldn't dare to touch it even if Xu Yi hadn't warned him.

Xu Yi found several water tanks on the boat and used a matryoshka method, sealing the black chest inside multiple layers.

"Call the butler! They'll know what to do with it!"

Xu Yi looked back at the dock, slowly releasing a sigh of relief. The Mary Shaw incident was finally over.
