"Quiet, they're here!"
At this moment, Nathan Lin spoke calmly.
"They're here?"
The Red Paper Man looked toward the distance.
"You hide first."
Nathan Lin ordered.
"There are two of them—one is a Level 4 Ghost Tamer, the other is Level 3. But the Level 3 Ghost Tamer's spirit seems to have some special abilities. My paper man is just for scouting; it can only deal with ghosts below Level 3 and won't be able to help you. At most, I can use my identity to make them back off... but there's a very small chance they'll listen, or they may not have time to stop once the battle begins. You should know that above Horror-Grade ghosts, one touch is enough to kill. Are you really going to do this?"
President Yan looked at Nathan Lin, concern in her voice.
In her eyes, even though Nathan Lin was an "Invisible Spirit," with his Ghost Spirit being Horror-Grade, these seasoned Ghost Tamers were still more experienced, with more methods at their disposal. And the key point was... Nathan Lin had to fight against two of them!
"You're talking too much."
Nathan Lin replied flatly.
The Red Paper Man gave Nathan Lin a deep, thoughtful look.
Despite Nathan Lin being only fifteen years old, President Yan felt an unusual sense of maturity and steadiness from him. His tall, handsome figure made him look much older than his years, and he certainly didn't have the appearance of a typical teenager.
"Then be careful."
President Yan said, her tone serious, as the Red Paper Man transformed back into a paper airplane and flew into the sky.
Nathan Lin, on the other hand, sat down with his back to the road leading up the mountain.
In his hands, he held the bowtie.
Coco was already inside the bowtie.
"George, we're almost there. Be careful, don't let Nathan Lin notice us."
At the base of the mountain, George and Philip were cautiously making their way toward the small peak, using the cover of night.
"Have you seen Nathan Lin?"
George whispered, lowering his voice.
"Not yet. He should be on the other side. We'll probably spot him once we reach this peak. Let's meet up with Roger first."
"Good!"
The two continued moving cautiously.
To avoid detection by Nathan Lin's spirit, they had kept their ghost spirits hidden in their pockets. Some ghosts had long detection ranges, while others had shorter ones, and the terrain could influence it.
Since Roger hadn't been spotted, they believed the chances of them being detected were very low.
So, their pace was relatively quick.
Before long, they reached the top of the mountain.
There, they saw a tall figure standing with its back to them on a rock.
"Roger? What's going on? Why are you standing there like that? Aren't you worried Nathan Lin will see you and slip away? Wait... your silhouette..."
Philip whispered, his words trailing off.
He quickly realized something was wrong.
Because the figure's posture and height were completely different from Roger's.
"He's not Roger!"
George said in a low voice.
As his words fell, the tall figure turned around.
Under the moonlight, they saw a youthful, handsome face.
"You... who are you? Where is Roger?"
Philip furrowed his brows, his wariness reaching its peak.
"It's Nathan Lin!"
George reacted quickly, immediately recognizing him.
"Nathan Lin... it's you!"
Philip shrieked in disbelief.
It wasn't surprising that they hadn't anticipated this.
Just half an hour ago, Roger had sent a message, telling them to come to this peak.
But now, the person they found standing here wasn't Roger. It was Nathan Lin!
How could they not be shocked?
"Correct."
Nathan Lin said indifferently.
"Where's Roger?"
Philip's eyes darkened, suspicion growing in his heart.
"Fool, Roger is dead. I told you this kid was trouble. How could he have been caught twice and yet still manage to kill Roger? What are you waiting for? Let's take him down together!"
George said, his tone grim.
Just as his voice fell, both him and Philip released their ghost spirits!
At that moment, Coco had already made her move.
The scenery around them changed in an instant!
From the barren mountain wilderness, it transformed into a lively amusement park!
Coco's Ghost Domain had expanded!
Once Coco's Ghost Domain expanded, Nathan Lin vanished from George and Philip's view.
Of course, Nathan Lin was still there, but he was now hidden by Coco's domain.
"I'll hold off his ghost spirit. You break this Ghost Domain and kill Nathan Lin!"
George shouted.
Their goal wasn't to kill Coco.
It was to kill Nathan Lin and take Coco's spirit.
When the bond is weak, a spirit can be taken.
Once the bond is strong, it becomes nearly impossible. Because once you kill the Ghost Tamer, the spirit will fight back fiercely.
Like Roger's Ghost Granny.
Within their group, Philip's ghost spirit, though only at the Perilous-Grade, had a special ability.
It was especially effective at breaking Ghost Domains.
So, their plan was that if Nathan Lin's Ghost Spirit used its domain to hide him, Philip's spirit would break the domain while George and Roger handled Coco.
"Good!"
As George's voice fell, Philip's ghost spirit moved.
It was a shadowy figure, its form humanoid.
Ghosts came in many shapes and sizes.
The ghost spirit was the most human-like, while others, like the one from the hanging ghost, had the form of a rope.
...
George's ghost spirit charged at Coco, and at the same time, both George and Philip's spirits released their domains to counter Coco's.
But soon, George's face turned ashen.
He saw Coco's dress turn from white to red.
Then, he watched in horror as his own spirit's domain began to shatter!
"Not good!"
George yelled in panic.
For Perilous-Grade ghosts, their domains were incredibly important.
Some ghosts excelled at controlling their domain. Even if they weren't as strong as other ghosts, their domain could render them untouchable.
In some cases, unless the domain was neutralized, they couldn't be killed!
But now, just moments into the battle,
George's spirit's domain was collapsing!
His spirit let out a shrill cry, and ghost energy surged, trying to hold the domain together.
But...
In front of Red Skirt Coco, it was utterly powerless!
"Philip, help me!"
George shouted.
His face was pale, completely caught off guard.
He never expected Nathan Lin's Ghost Spirit to be this powerful!
At this point, George had no choice but to call for help.
Philip's ghost spirit, which excelled at breaking domains, was his only hope.
...
But it was too late!
Coco's hand had already torn apart George's spirit's domain, and then...
With a single motion, she ripped it apart!
"Raaagh!"
The shrill scream echoed as George's ghost spirit was shredded by Coco!
"Ahh!"
Seeing his spirit destroyed, George lost all composure!
On the other side, Philip was in shock.
His ghost spirit, which excelled at breaking domains, couldn't even break through Coco's!
And just when Philip thought he could destroy the domain, George's spirit had already been defeated!
A Level 4 Ghost Tamer, with a Horror-Grade spirit, couldn't even last a minute!
Philip was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
...
And then, the most terrifying thing happened.
Coco appeared beside his ghost spirit.
Despite her cute appearance, Philip saw her as a nightmare now!
The next second, Red Skirt Coco was right beside Philip's ghost spirit, her small hand holding a rope.
"What's going on inside the battle?"
At that moment, a paper airplane was circling above the small mountain.
But with the Ghost Domains already in place, even President Yan couldn't see what was going on inside without intervening with her own ghost.
"We need to hurry~~"
On the other side, President Yan urged the middle-aged woman and others.
"President, why don't you just use your ghost to bring you along faster?"
The middle-aged woman asked.
President Yan shook her head, "Little White has been in hibernation for months. Otherwise, I wouldn't be this slow... Wait... Is it done?"
President Yan's gaze shifted to Little Venerable Mountain.
Then, she saw Nathan Lin walking up the mountain again.
"Spare me! Spare me! Don't kill me!"
Nathan Lin was standing with Philip kneeling before him, trembling and begging for mercy.
As for George... he was already lifeless.
And next to Nathan Lin, Coco had returned to her white dress.
In her hand was a rope, tied to a ghostly figure.
It was Philip's ghost spirit!
"So quick, it's over?"
President Yan's eyes narrowed in surprise!
She never expected the battle in the Ghost Domain to end so quickly.
Moreover... it looked like Nathan Lin had won!
Her eyes filled with a deep shock once more.
President Yan looked at George... already dead.
As for Philip, though still alive, his ghost spirit had been captured, leaving him powerless.
"Recall your ghost. Stay right here and don't leave. Understood?"
Nathan Lin said to Philip.
"Yes, yes!"
Philip replied hastily.
"Coco, let it go."
Nathan Lin instructed Coco.
With a light flick of her small hand, Coco withdrew the ghostly rope. The spectral figure then fled, as if escaping, back into Philip's Ghost Taming Object.
Clearly... even this ghost had become afraid of Coco!
"What do you plan to do with him?"
President Yan asked.
Nathan Lin glanced at her, "How long until you get here?"
"Not long, a few minutes," President Yan replied.
"A few minutes... that should be enough."
Nathan Lin said.
"What are you planning to do?"
President Yan was confused.
Then she saw Nathan Lin suddenly take out a pair of embroidered shoes.
"Huh? These shoes are beautiful. Did you get these from a Ghost Spirit?"
President Yan asked curiously.
She had no idea.
These were the very embroidered shoes the Wedding Dress Ghost had been searching for.
At that moment, the sky began to brighten.
As Nathan Lin pulled out the embroidered shoes, a red glow suddenly rose from the forest a distance away.
It transformed into a streak of red light, speeding toward Nathan Lin.
"Stay here, understood?"
Nathan Lin told Philip.
With that, he quickly tucked the shoes away and sprinted toward Little Venerable Mountain.
"What are you doing?"
The Red Paper Man asked, confused.
President Yan was equally baffled.
"Prepare yourself, she's coming."
Nathan Lin said.
"She?"
"Yes, the Wedding Dress Ghost you've been searching for."
