Journey In A Fantasy World
Fighting Against Ghosts

Oh no!

They can see us in this dark environment? Oh yes, I forgot. Rui had just raised two of her fingers and made a small torch.

A light as small as this could attract the attention of people inside who might not be real people. Wait, are they really ghosts?

Crangs!

It was the sound of a sword being ejected from its sheath! The three of us stared at each other with scared faces. Is the person inside there really intending to go against us?

"We have crossed their borders, Jian. Of course they're angry. Moreover, we casually set foot inside their castle grounds even after the long blast of cannons," Neo was seen clasping Pru tightly, he was intending to attack if we had started to get desperate.

"You're right, Neo. They must be very angry at us. What do we do?" Rui looked at me expectantly. Maybe he's hoping that I'll just decide to get away from this godforsaken place.

"Let's fight, guys!" but Neo first ran forward with a steady expression.

"Wait a minute, Neo! We come in peace, want to ask something, wouldn't it be rude if we had to fight them?" I doubt Neo's decision.

"But they've already given us a war warning, Jian! That cannon! Doesn't it look weak if we don't pacify their requests?" Neo seemed to object to my suggestion.

Meow!

Looks like Piu Piu also approved of Neo. I resigned because this was also one of the reasonable things Neo said. I'm sorry, Rui, I can't prevent this fight.

I immediately lifted Jilly forward. Piu Piu had already stepped forward first with Neo. And sometimes I wonder, that cat is my magic entity, it appears because it recognizes the necklace that absorbs my magic energy, but why does it look closer to Neo than to me? And they seem to have a lot in common. Including likes to eat.

"Jian, it's hard to fight in the dark, I don't think I can afford it." Rui complained again.

I also understand this grievance, Rui is only trained to develop his amazing fire energy. At any given moment, it was even possible for Rui to control the lightning above. Whereas I was trained to impart my listening skills because I studied wind energy. It is important to have this sharp hearing for a windbender.

"Hold my hand, Rui," I smiled as I extended my right hand.

"Jian," Rui wiped her tears.

"We attack forward together, I will protect you when your life is in danger."

Rui smiled wider, "Thank you, Jian," the small flame at the end of his index finger disappeared, he raised his right hand, a huge flame appeared there. I could clearly see the face of Rui who was preparing to attack, although her fear still hung in the corner of her eyeballs.

"Look, Rui. Now it's like the sun is shining on your face. You should be able to rely on your strength in a crucial moment like this, Rui. You have to realize that you're really good." I clasped his hand tightly, ready to catch up with Neo and Piu Piu who had already moved first.

"Who am I weak, Jian!" Rui leapt forward, she was even able to fly without Riu despite not having the strength of the wind like me. I smiled happily to see Rui smoldering with her spirit.

Our trip home was more enjoyable than when we left.

Flashes of flames and whirring winds felt extremely strong in this battleground. Interspersed with a powerful punch capable of uprooting a single tree from Neo. Also his ability to shoot a small needle from a drop of water made me gawk for a moment. It turns out Neo is better than I thought.

At the Monthly Exams yesterday, he didn't really bring out his entire ability. But here, he is truly superior to us. I was wrong to always underestimate Neo and say stupid.

"Hey, are you guys aware of anything?" Neo suddenly approached the two of us, his eyes staring at Piu Piu who was still fighting ahead of him.

"What's wrong?"

"They're immune to attack" Neo notices Piu Piu who doesn't stop scratching his claws but doesn't hurt his opponent in the slightest.

"I have pierced them with many arrows of water. But they're not even hurt, how do we defeat them, Jian, Rui?" Neo asked worriedly, but his face was always relaxed and showed his skill in arranging strategies.

Rui moved first before I made my decision, she was floating ten meters in the air, her hands were raised high, then jerking them down, a huge fire was ready to engulf everything beneath her. Realizing the dangerous situation, Piu Piu immediately stepped aside and allowed Rui to burn all the residents of this Dixia Academy.

Rui landed perfectly beside me, she wiped her sweat-filled forehead. The fire he let out made the trees in the academy grounds burn. I also wish those people were hurt, at a minimum.

"Wow, that's great, Rui!" Neo clapped his hands with a comforted face, then he took out his little book again, "I also have to capture the moment when my friend took out fireballs from his palm."

Buk up!

Is a hard blow to the head enough to make him think normally?

"Stop acting like a fool, Neo. I admit that you're not as stupid as I thought you were," I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

"Shut up, Neo! We'd better get in, "I pulled Rui's arm out of Neo, the guy in front is out, we have to get in.

"Revelation!" Neo exclaimed, immediately teleported and made a huge shield envelop us. I don't know what's going on, but it must be dangerous. And Neo saved us at the right time.

"Your fire doesn't make them scorched, Rui!" Neo stood in front of us, Rui next to me trembling in fear.

What do we do now? All of our magic power is useless in this place. They turned into black smoke as something slashed at their bodies.

It's the same ability as me. I can turn into the wind when something almost kills me, but I still feel pain when I return to my true form. And they're not like that.

Up ahead, Neo had already moved again, "I will use all means to defeat you!" it was so excited.

"No losing and winning, man. Except life and death!" one of the Dixia Academy people exclaimed back.

Neo chuckles, "Good! Then you will die!"

"Jian, how's this? Is Neo really going to kill them? We never even kill people, do we?" Rui held tightly to my arm.

"Let's just say we're hunting tigers, Rui. There's not much guilt if we consider them animals" I suggested.

"How to hunt a tiger? I just can't hunt the desert lizard, Jian," Rui looked down.

This boy, he had somehow become so stupid since we arrived in Pubu City, "Then let's just say that he was hunting mosquitoes, Rui."

I immediately went forward to help Neo put everything in order. After all, we really shouldn't be killed here. We have to go back to our homes, to our cities, to our schools and live our normal lives.

"Jian, wait for me!" Rui exclaimed softly, he also started to slash his staff in all directions. I smiled thinly.

Neo looks dashing this time, Pru being a stick cooler than before. But no matter how good Neo is, he still hasn't dropped a single opponent.

"Pru, prepare the transformation!" Neo suddenly exclaimed, he spun in place then floated a few meters in the air, Pru turned into a dashing sword, the sword was fed with water energy from Neo's hands.

I almost exclaimed stifled to see it, apparently Neo mastered the water energy, just as he could make a sharp water arrow to fight them.

I suddenly thought of an idea, I used my wind to lock them up and kill them.

I made a small wind vortex that enlarged as they released energy. The more wind collected, the greater our chances of winning.

But I was suddenly not sure my strength would be of any use. Because they have the same ability.

I saw Neo was concentrating fully on controlling his new sword. The sword was Pru, but he seemed intangible due to the flow of water energy.

Neo suddenly shouted loudly while throwing his sword forward. Neo's sword struck right in front of those people standing up.

Neo flicked his hands down, me, Rui and Piu Piu jumped into the air with Neo, then suddenly the arid land in front of us was covered in thick ice, my wind energy froze, and then suddenly the arid ground in front of us was covered in thick ice, then it broke into pieces, including the people who attacked us, they froze, then shattered.

We were silent for a moment, it happened so quickly. In the end, we really beat them. That fast.

"God, my abilities increased in just a few minutes." Neo stared at his two palms in disbelief, "I, so look like Elsa."

I can't help but laugh anymore, "Neo, your magic power is a little feminine, don't you have any other abilities that are more suited to male characters?"

Neo snorted, "At least this time we managed to survive thanks to the frozen power I have."

"How could you think of making them freeze, Neo?" Rui asked more seriously, her legs still trembling in fear.

"So, I just thought about it for a second. It worked."

But the thing is, we don't address those people to the fullest. The sun rose as soon as we finished the fight with victory.

The ice in front of us melted and evaporated, thinking those people had died, it turned out that they were still as before, completely unharmed!

"It seems like my frozen strength doesn't last long, guys," Neo stared unblinkingly.
