It was just a repetition of his previous technique, as the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy.

And it wasn’t as dire as the last time; he was fully armored and had retrieved his knight’s longsword from Kovis’s waist, handling ordinary living corpses was no challenge, and escaping shouldn’t be difficult.

When Kovis heard this, he touched his shoulder with lingering fear, “Why apologize?

Your caution was not wrong.

The last time I saw Emmon, although he was in a strange state, he was definitely still alive.”

The young man could feel that the tracking magic behind him hadn’t dissipated, meaning that the caster was not dead.

“Being alive like that, is almost no different from being dead…” Although Leon had not witnessed the scene described by Lola, he still believed in the professional judgment of the mage miss in his heart.

“Is that so?”

Hearing Leon’s confident reply, Kovis asked with confusion, “Emmon’s pitiful state, was that your doing?

So, aside from projective magic, do you know other spells?”

“No, that shouldn’t have anything to do with me.”

Leon shook his head at Kovis, “It might be…

that guy got possessed by going overboard with his incomplete studies…

To be honest, I’m not clear on the details.”

Stepping into the Spirit-like Field, Leon originally thought that after losing consciousness, it was the miss mage who had saved him once again.

But Miss Lora had completely denied it.

…— What nonsense are you talking about…

I was so weakened in the outer world that I could barely maintain my existence, where would I find the strength to counter that fool’s Spirit Realm Magic for you…

Recalling Miss Lora’s exact words, Leon shrugged and continued to inscribe the Demon Rune.

Since it wasn’t her doing, then most likely it was Emmon who had played with fire and got burned.

It didn’t matter either way; according to the miss mage’s explanation.

The other party had been backfired by the accidentally uncontrolled Spirit Realm Magic, and death was actually the best outcome for him now.

As for the worst outcome…

Either being targeted by demons of the Spirit Realm.

Or becoming a fissure himself, using his soul that connects to the Spirit Realm as a base, forming a new “Spirit-like Field.”

Whichever case it might be was severe, but Leon had no intention of concerning himself with these consequences at the moment.

After all, this was the territory of the Kantadar people, let the lord of the enemy country worry about it.

Right now, he only wanted to leave Nightmare Forest as soon as possible and meet up with Azeryan and the others in reality.

The sooner they left the Cursed Land they had just entered, the better.

The longer they stayed, the easier it was for those strange beings wandering the Spirit Realm to set their sights on both of them.

Silent for a while, Kovis stood up, walked to his companion’s side, and curiously watched what he was inscribing on the ground.

He was not surprised that Leon was setting up a Magic Technique, having already witnessed his Light Arrow Magic.

But his eyes inadvertently swept over the series of runes being written.

The more the young man looked, the more confounded his expression became.

Some of the complex Lorelette characters looked familiar.

But more of the characters were completely foreign.

And the way they were matched with the pattern of Demon Runes was beyond Kovis’s understanding of the underlying logic.

Wait, this didn’t seem to be the Lorelette Spell currently used by the mages of Atiyas.

Was this…

Ancient Lorelette Language?

“Leon, do you understand Ancient Magic?” Kovis couldn’t help but voice his amazement.

Hearing such a grand title, Leon paused in his drawing and turned to look at the blonde youth.

“Ancient Magic, you’re talking about what I’m drawing on the ground?…

Is it impressive?”

Kovis shrugged helplessly…

he couldn’t understand a language thousands of years old, how could he know if it was impressive.

“What are you preparing to do?” the blond youth asked in a different way.

“I’m setting up a kind of trap; it can mimic something…

some Earth Vein Spiritual Power, to attract the nearby wandering undead.

We’ll find a suitable target, extract its soul and place it into the Spirit Lamp.

If all goes well, that soul should guide us out of here,” Leon pointed to the center of the Array and roughly explained.

Thankfully he had brought the Wooden Cage Spirit Lamp he had made earlier; this saved a lot of preparation steps.

And without the interference of the demonically possessed Lokhak, the technique merely used for soul extraction was much simpler to inscribe.

This time, there was no need for Lola to personally create a Pseudo Soul to lure demons into the trap, nor did Leon need to cut his hand to bleed and recite spells for Demon Exorcism.

Once he had drawn the Magic Technique to lure the undead, he could leave the rest for Miss Lora to handle, much easier.

However, thinking of demon possession, Leon glanced at the blonde youth beside him.

From their brief exchanges earlier, he knew of the young man’s tragic background, which was likely even more wretched than Lokhak’s.

Not only had he lost his country and family from a young age, but he had also humiliatingly fallen under Pilireno’s sway for years.

If he, too, accidentally attracted the attention of a demon…

Leon did not want to go through such torment again.

He quickly warned Kovis, “I forgot to tell you, there’s a risk of demon possession in this domain.

From now on, don’t let your mind wander and maintain devout prayers to whatever deity you believe in.

I’m not trying to scare you, but you remember the boy Lokhak, right?

He was possessed by an Angry Demon here once, filled with blind hate, nearly chopped me into mincemeat.”

Kovis was startled by this, then shook his head, “Perhaps before Villania’s destruction, I used to worship the Holy Sun with the adults, but so many years have passed, and it’s been a long time since I last prayed to the Holy Sun.”
