Chapter 1135: "Spirit Hunting Challenge"
Chapter 1135: “Spirit Hunting Challenge”
Ainsley didn’t look at the spirits for too long and immediately looked back at Keane.
“Let’s talk straight to the point. Why do you want to meet me?”
Keane already knew that Ainsley would ask him this question, and he immediately put on a solemn expression.
“As you know, we are Felicia’s admirers, and we are not pleased with what you did to her. So…we are here to challenge you in the arena officially.”
Ainsley didn’t look surprised at all and even looked as if she had been looking forward to these three coming to challenge her.
“Oh, so it’s like that. Okay, I’ll accept your challenge. Is it another battle royale, or?”
Before Ainsley could continue, Donny and Terry already cut her speech simultaneously.
“No!”
“N-no battle royale.”
The boys looked flustered to the point of almost scaring the hell out of their souls.
They really didn’t want to challenge Ainsley in a frontal battle!
Ainsley faked her expression and acted as if she was surprised by the boys’ reaction.
“What’s going on? If it’s not a battle royale, then is it a one-on-one fight? But I don’t have much time– ”
Once more, before Ainsley could finish her words, Keane interrupted with cold sweat drenching his back.
“No, no, you misunderstood. We don’t want to fight you in a frontal fight. The type of challenge we want to do isn’t a real fight in the ring at all!”
The important thing had to be emphasized twice so that Ainsley wouldn’t misunderstand.
This time, Ainsley was genuinely surprised by Keane’s words.
She didn’t know much about the Gasha Country’s battle arena aside from what she had already experienced.
It turned out there were other battle modes aside from a frontal fight in the ring?!
Ainsley, who thought that she had to fight another boring battle with these three people, immediately became energized.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know the battle arena allows challenges outside of a frontal fight. Can you tell me what kind of challenge you want me to do?”
Ainsley politely asked Keane, but her eyes couldn’t hide her excitement at all.
Hey! If there’s a new way to torture the big guilds…who wouldn’t be excited to do it?
Keane didn’t notice Ainsley’s excitement at all, but he suddenly got a shiver down his spine, and the other two got goosebumps.
Still, the three people suppressed their feelings and calmly explained what kind of challenge they wanted to propose to Ainsley.
Keane was the first one to talk.
“Well, the battle arena really allows various challenges even outside of the battle arena’s building, but we need official staff and audience to be our witness.”
Keane paused to let Ainsley digest the news before continuing.
“The challenge I want to do is related to our ability as a shaman. There is this famous place around the capital, and it’s full of wild and dangerous spirits…”
Ainsley nodded at Keane’s words and gestured at him to continue. “Then, then? What do we do there?”
This place must be similar to her family’s mausoleum.
However, the mausoleum was a controlled place for spirits, while the one Keane mentioned must be independent, free from humans’ touch.
Keane didn’t disappoint and immediately told the rest of the news.
“Well, there is this activity that we shamans usually do when we visit this special place. We either hunt spirits for training or get their recognition.”
Getting recognition is a milder challenge and training because the shamans can please the wild spirits using various things.
The guild usually pushed the new shamans and juniors to do this activity to train their shaman ability.
But the spirit hunting one…that’s a really dangerous activity that only elite and senior shamans in the guild are allowed to participate in.
“For our challenge…I want us to hunt spirits. We can’t have any supporting items to hunt spirits, and in the end, the number of spirits and the spirit quality will determine the winner.”
Keane didn’t hesitate to choose a harder challenge!
Ainsley had never heard that shamans could hunt spirits, mainly because spirits in Godlif Country were much more powerful than shamans, and shamans were in the lower position.
However, the Gasha Country’s spirits weren’t as strong as those in Godlif Country.
Thus, the shamans here could hunt spirits and coerce them to make contracts with the shamans.
If not for this, how could the shaman guild develop fast when there were many rune masters and talisman masters in this country that could suppress them?
“Usually, we only hunt one or two spirits to give them to the new shamans and juniors, but there are some cases when we hunt just to train our ability.”
Keane explained the type of hunting that they would do in this challenge.
“In this case, we have to hunt as many spirits as we can, and after the training ends, we will let them go.”
However, because there were too few items that could trap spirits and abduct them, the elite shamans in training would only use their aura and ability to restrain the spirits.
This is much more dangerous than using items because the spirits can rebel anytime, anywhere.
As long as the shamans are careless or getting weak at some points, the defeated spirits can suddenly attack the shamans to death.
Spirits can’t attack other ability users and ordinary people, but shamans have unique physiques and the majority of dead spirits could attack shamans in their shaman mode with special abilities.
This is also why most shamans in Godlif Country didn’t use force to bound the spirit but lured them with their talents or items.
After all, if they weren’t strong enough, they could die in the spirits’ hands!
