American Exorcism Male God

The Ghost Samurai followed the chains forward, finding the interior space of Eight Monster House to be even larger than Xu Yi had imagined; it took him a while to reach his destination.

It was a structure akin to a skylight, into which dense chains converged, spreading downwards; Xu Yi stood at the edge of the skylight, looking down.

Chains within the skylight bound a person—that was the long-dead Kawano Go, his blood seeping out and flowing along the chains, transporting downwards.

Xu Yi's brows furrowed tightly; clearly, Kawano Go had been used as a sacrifice.

Although it was not evident what kind of physique Kawano Go had, he was definitely not a commoner, otherwise he wouldn't have been selected as a sacrifice.

But who was the intended recipient of this sacrifice? Could there really be a terrifying monster lurking within Eight Monster House?

A dark and indistinct aura suddenly rose from the bottom of the well, causing Xu Yi's complexion to change slightly—something was awakening down below!

......

"We need to leave immediately!"

In the grand hall of Eight Monster House, Harada Mieko suddenly turned to face Lisa and spoke in English. Though her English was somewhat broken, it was still clear enough to understand her.

"What happened?" Lisa asked with confusion.

"I just received an oracle," Harada Mieko replied softly, herself also unsure of what had happened.

The moment everyone left Eight Monster House, an extremely ominous aura emanated from behind them, sending shivers down everyone's spine.

Within Eight Monster House, Xu Yi warily watched the skylight.

Kawano Go's blood had been completely drained, his body turned into a withered corpse, which the chains then whipped into fragments.

The chains began to ascend, pulling up something from the bottom of the well, suspending it in midair.

Xu Yi instinctively stepped back twice as the Demon-Suppressing Flame surfaced on the Ghost Samurai.

He looked in astonishment at the center of the chains, which was actually a hammer, a forging hammer, with a handle as thick as an arm and a head larger than a human's.

The hammer was covered with blackish-green rust, and several massive cracks spread across its body, seeming as though it would crumble apart at any moment.

Could this hammer be the terrifying monster concealed within Eight Monster House? Xu Yi was somewhat puzzled.

At the center of the hammer, there was a horizontal red line which suddenly "opened"—that was not just any line, but a huge blood-colored eye.

The bloody eye spun rapidly in all directions, then fixed its gaze on the Ghost Samurai, making Xu Yi's heart feel as if it was being squeezed by an invisible hand.

As the Ghost Samurai's control over Eight Monster House grew, the binding chains had gradually loosened, but at this moment, the chains once again tightly bound the Ghost Samurai.

In the blink of an eye, the Ghost Samurai lost control over Eight Monster House.

No wonder Eight Monster House had submitted so easily!

Xu Yi suddenly realized that both the Wheel-headed figure and the Ghost Samurai's control over Eight Monster House was an illusion.

There had always been only one Controller of Eight Monster House, and that was the bizarre monster hammer before him.

To truly control Eight Monster House, one must first deal with the monster hammer at hand!

Xu Yi fixed his gaze on the opponent, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The pupils of the Ghost Samurai unexpectedly changed; the flames within them had been black and gold, but now turned blood red, identical to the blood eye on the hammer.

Xu Yi's soul sensed a special fluctuation, similar to what he had experienced when he fought the Wheel-headed figure, but evidently it was stronger this time.

"Is it trying to enslave the Ghost Samurai?" Xu Yi was slightly stunned.

Had the Wheel-headed figure not informed the hammer of the situation?

Even if the hammer's "Charm" ability was strong, as long as he logged off, it would be helpless.

The monster hammer suddenly flew toward the Ghost Samurai, firmly attaching to it; from it, a blue gelatinous substance emerged, winding around the Ghost Samurai, attempting to burrow into his body.

Xu Yi was astounded; it seemed the monster hammer also sought to possess the Ghost Samurai!

If the hammer could enslave the Ghost Samurai, this approach would indeed not be wrong, but to Xu Yi, wasn't this like throwing meat buns to a dog?

The monster hammer was infused with a rich Divinity; whether it was Eight Monster House or the divinity within these chains, all originated from the hammer.

The closer the Bone of Nightmares got to its target, the faster it absorbed divinity.

He had just been pondering how to approach the other party when, to his surprise, in the next second, they eagerly presented themselves at his doorstep.

The blood-colored pupils of the forging hammer were fierce and terrifying, yet Xu Yi saw the confusion of recent awakening in them, and a hint... of clear foolishness.

The other had practically stuffed the meat into the Ghost Samurai's mouth, leaving no reason to refuse.

Xu Yi, controlling the Ghost Samurai, hugged the forging hammer tightly and, as his spirit was nearly at its limit, he decisively chose to log out.

The Bone of Nightmares' instinct was to absorb the divinity of nearby objects, and even without someone controlling it, it would continuously siphon the forging hammer's divinity.

The sea began to retreat, and the massive Eight Monster House was once again taken back into the sea. Its tentacles touched the water, seemingly regaining some vitality, and it slowly began to move. The Eight Monster House sank to the bottom of the sea, finally disappearing from everyone's sight.

Harada Mieko stared blankly at the vanishing Eight Monster House.

She used to be able to feel the Ghost Samurai residing within her, but now it was gone; some of the Ghost Samurai in her had merged with the main body upon entering the Eight Monster House.

A streak of red light suddenly flew up from the seabed, breaking through the water, and the Demon Blade Red Lotus fell in front of Harada Mieko, slantedly piercing into the sand.

Harada Mieko instinctively grabbed the Demon Blade Red Lotus, her eyes suddenly brightened, for she once again received an oracle: to search for the remnants of the Mud God Stele.

The remnants of the Mud God Stele were much larger than a fist; the piece in Xu Yi's hands was merely a small portion of the Mud God Stele.

......

In the library of the Totet, Xu Yi was all smiles.

The matters in Japan had finally come to a close. When the forging hammer's divinity was completely drained, that would be the day the Ghost Samurai took control of the Eight Monster House!

"It's time to focus and grind the scholar entries!" Xu Yi cheered himself on.

[Scholar, current progress: 42/100]

He had only been in the library of Totet for less than three days, yet the progress of the scholar entries far exceeded his expectations.

After obtaining the second batch of scholar entries, a series of learning-related abilities were slightly enhanced, and his learning efficiency increased once more.

But to achieve the feat of "over half in three days" was still far off, all because of the "Genius of Mysticism."

With this "Dragon-slaying Blade" of Genius of Mysticism in hand, the once abstruse and difficult knowledge of mysticism became mere small fries in front of him, easily dispatched like chopping vegetables and melons.

And the experience gain for the scholar entries was tied to learning efficiency.

As they say, "A steady stream of small hacks is not as good as one big hack!" Without a doubt, "Genius of Mysticism" was that big hack.

As long as he studied the knowledge of mysticism, his scholar entries would soar at rocket speed.

"At this rate, I might be able to max out the scholar entries again in another three days!"

Thinking of this, Xu Yi felt a fiery enthusiasm in his heart.

For maxing out the third scholar entry would not only grant him the ability of "Super Brain Computation," but also allow him to synthesize "Master of Mysticism."

Xu Yi immersed himself in the ocean of mysticism when suddenly, the door to the library was pushed open. The visitor was neither Nos nor the Finn family's butler, but someone completely unexpected.

"Professor Daniel?" Xu Yi questioned.

"Hello there!" greeted Professor Daniel, weakly, his face a bit pale.

Daniel headed confidently towards a corner, clearly familiar with the library.

This library was accessible only to members of the Finn family; his being here was an exception. Daniel's familiarity with this place suggested an obvious answer.

The other was related to the Finn family.

Xu Yi suddenly remembered something—the book that Daniel had given him bore his full name, "Daniel Finn."

"Is something the matter?" Daniel looked puzzled at Xu Yi, who had been staring at him since he entered.

"Professor Daniel, you look a bit pale. Are you ill?" Xu Yi inquired gently.

"Yes! I caught a bit of a cold, been resting at home the past few days," Daniel coughed timely.

"Professor, didn't you catch that cold four days ago? I remember hearing thunder that day," Xu Yi casually asked.

Daniel's hand froze slightly while grabbing a book, "I don't remember clearly, but I suppose it was when I was dealing with the fish tank in the lab, I accidentally got my clothes wet and didn't change them in time, so I caught a cold."
