I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 298

Jonathan didn't feel as much reverence as the rest because he had come into contact with the Eonetara Gate a few times.

The fellows of Eonetara Gate had almost ended Jonathan's life with Void Domain.

Jonathan figured since he'd already offended Eonetara Gate, he didn't have to worry about slighting them even more. He assumed there weren't any powerful fighters in the ghost bus.

He turned to Beatrix and Mabel. “The members of Eonetara Gate deal with matters of the underworld, and one of them is the Infant King. We can probe around and see if we can get any information.”

Mabel agreed with Jonathan's idea. Merely looking at her sparkling eyes was proof enough.

Beatrix deliberated and said, “Those at Eonetara Gate have their pride, so don't be too reckless, Jonathan. Let me do the probing.”

Jonathan didn't persist since he had already gained Beatrix's agreement. “Sure!”

The ghost bus had stopped at the bus station as they spoke.

After the baby ghost glided into the ghost bus, the vehicle pulled up beside Jonathan, Beatrix, and Mabel.

Beatrix glanced at Jonathan and Mabel. “All the spirits in the ghost bus are either lost or wandering. They have no idea they've already passed on. Don't startle them, or it'll invoke an uproar. Stand back for now, and let me talk to the driver.”

Jonathan was stunned by her suggestion. “Won't that be dangerous, Beatrix?” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Beatrix assured, “Don't worry about me.”

Jonathan and Mabel immediately stepped back as they watched the ghost bus approach.

Usually, the ghost bus would only stop for wrathful spirits.

Thus, Beatrix concealed her living aura and intentionally filled her heart with resentment.

That way, the ghost bus had no clear way of differentiating Beatrix from the rest of the wrathful spirits. As expected, it halted in front of Beatrix. The doors swung open, and Beatrix got onto the bus.

Jonathan and Mabel watched nervously from the side.

The bus continued moving once Beatrix got in.

Jonathan and Mabel hurriedly followed the bus closely.

Within the ghost bus, Beatrix noticed all the seats were occupied. There were the elderly, the young, men, and women among the occupants. Naturally, there were many baby ghosts too.

All of their eyes were glazed and unfocused. None of them was an exception.

The entire bus was filled with dark energy and a thick resentment aura.

If an average human boarded that bus, that person would be hit with waves of dark energy and resentment aura. Suicidal thoughts would overwhelm the individual before they finally died a violent death.

However, Beatrix's mental fortitude was strong, so she wasn't affected by the dark energy or resentment aura at all. Her gaze honed in on the driver.

The driver was a soul bringer of Eonetara Gate.

The soul bringers weren't weak like the ones depicted in storybooks or television. A random occult practitioner couldn't easily win against them.

They were skilled and could readily subdue vengeful and evil spirits in the human realm.

Beatrix walked over to the soul bringer who was taking the wheel. The soul bringer looked like a middle-aged man in his forties with a thin body and black attire. His gloomy appearance sent chills down the spine of anyone who caught sight of him.

The minute Beatrix got close, the soul bringer instantly noticed her.

He stopped the bus and looked over his shoulder at Beatrix.

Beatrix finally got a clear view of the soul bringer's face.

His face was covered with black scales, making him look horrifying, like a mutated monster. However, he still had eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

A glint of coldness flashed across the soul bringer's eyes. “Look here. A live human has sneaked onto the bus. You have a death wish, human,” he said in a creepy voice.

Beatrix and her pride refused to be afraid of his threat. Instead, she bowed and asked, “Soul bringer, I didn't mean to offend you. I'm here today to ask you something.”

The soul bringer snorted. “A mortal dares to ask me questions? Are you joking?”

The soul bringer's attitude was frigid and distant.

It wasn't hard to understand why. The soul bringers had always behaved out of the norm. After all, they had to deal with lost, wandering souls all year long. How could one expect a soul bringer to be nice and friendly enough for a chat?

Beatrix didn't know how to respond to his jab and hesitated briefly before she braced herself and said, “I have a reason for doing so. Please make an exception this time.”

The soul bringer replied impassively, “There's no exception. Since you already found out about the ghost bus and saw my face, don't even think about staying at the overworld any longer.” A tiny jar appeared in his hand.

The jar was purple and exquisite.

The soul bringer roared, “Gather!” The second he opened the jar stopper, a violent whirlwind formed beside Beatrix.

Beatrix paled at the wild column of wind but managed to steady herself.

In a blink of an eye, everything around Beatrix was slowly disappearing. All the spirits, baby ghosts, and the ghost bus itself were being sucked into the jar in the soul bringer's hand.

Beatrix finally recognized the jar and asked, “Is that the Jar of Creation?”

A sliver of puzzlement crossed the soul bringer's eyes. “A mortal like you can recognize my Jar of Creation? It looks like you're not an average human.”

Jonathan and Mabel saw Beatrix confronting the soul bringer in the middle of the road and urgently ran over to her.

The soul bringer moved his gaze over the three of them and yelled, “All of you mortals shall die for trespassing on the ghost bus!”

Not giving Beatrix and the others a chance to speak, he struck instantly.

The soul bringer suddenly reached for something from the Jar of Creation. It was a white emerald ruler.

“The Phantom Ruler!” Beatrix immediately recognized the item. She knew the Phantom Ruler was a magical item smelted from dark energy extracted from deep in the underworld's abyss and had consciousness and mana.

“Go!” The soul bringer aimed the ruler at Jonathan and conjured a beast.

The beast had long, sharp fangs and a green face. Its body was clad in solid armor.

The beast only existed within the Eonetara Gate, hence its name, Eonetara Beast.

The soul bringer had intentionally collected the Eonetara Beast's battle spirit and turned it into the weapon spirit of the Phantom Ruler.

The Eonetara Beast pounced toward Jonathan with murderous intent.

A foul smell reeking of blood filled Jonathan's nose.

The strength which the beast exerted was close to ten thousand pounds. It was also extremely quick and ferocious.

As he was just in the Celestial Soul level, Jonathan didn't dare to take the beast's attack head-on. Faced with no choice, he took a three-meter leap backward with lightning speed.

The Eonetara Beast missed its target and spat a mouthful of spit at Jonathan.

That spit was made of dark energy and formed a sword once it reached the air.

The sword was so sharp it could slice through metal easily.

Every fine hair on Jonathan's body stood on its end as a sense of threat crashed into him.

He narrowly dodged the sword by rolling to the side.

However, the Eonetara Beast was already charging toward Jonathan with lightning speed.

It was about to maul Jonathan into pieces like a tiger with its prey.

Meanwhile, Beatrix and Mabel attacked the soul bringer at the same time.

Beatrix instantly reached for Richard's Demon Slayer from her spatial ring.

The soul bringer was stunned to see Demon Slayer.

With Demon Slayer in hand, Beatrix swung it, trying to cut the soul bringer.

At the same time, a piercing sound wave akin to the cries of spirits and gods emitted from the Demon Slayer.

Before the edge of the sword met its target, the sound waves had already reached the soul bringer's eardrums.

The soul bringer quickly let out a thunderous roar, shattering the sound waves like dispersing a condensed air mass.

The soul bringer's Phantom Ruler collided with the Demon Slayer, eliciting an ear-splitting crash and some sparks.

Beatrix sensed a powerful murderous intent traveling up Demon Slayer, yet she couldn't neutralize it.

Swiftly taking a step back, Beatrix shook her hand and neutralized the murderous intent.

Meanwhile, Mabel didn't dilly dally as she aimed her Sword Fingers at the soul bringer's throat.

Having found the perfect opportunity, Mabel thrust her fingers forward.

The soul bringer had missed the best time to attack Beatrix. His gaze turned cold as he took a step backward and swung the Phantom Ruler swiftly, aiming at Mabel's throat.

The soul bringer was definitely a powerful opponent.

Jonathan, Mabel, and Beatrix weren't weak either. Hence, the soul bringer couldn't kill them with mana alone.

The soul bringer also couldn't use mana to attack their mind.

During Yareth's battle with Sylvia, the two had fought with mana at first, but their battle ended in a stalemate. Naturally, the soul bringer wouldn't fight against three opponents using mana. After all, once his mind was controlled, the other two could kill him.

Mabel didn't dare to underestimate the Phantom Ruler and retreated.

However, the soul bringer wasn't planning on letting Mabel retreat.

Controlling the ruler with his mana, he released it from his grip and sent it darting toward Mabel.

Beatrix instantly threw the Demon Slayer without hesitating.

Demon Slayer flew toward the soul bringer, but he managed to evade it.

He lost his concentration briefly as he dodged, causing the Phantom Ruler to lose its power and allowing Mabel to escape from the ruler's attack radius.

The soul bringer called the Phantom Ruler back into his hand, and Beatrix did the same.

Their exchange earlier was like a page from a fantasy novel where the characters controlled weapons in a fight using mana.

However, it was difficult in reality.

Firstly, the weapon had to be a magical item, and it had to be nourished with different kinds of herbs, forged in fire, and sustained with its owner's blood. Once the weapon had developed consciousness, it would form a mental bond with its owner. After that, the owner needed to possess powerful mana to control it.

It was tremendously challenging for mortals to achieve.

The Phantom Ruler was a magical weapon that surpassed most magical items. The soul bringer had a tight bond with it, which was the reason he could control it.

Even though Beatrix wasn't the owner of Demon Slayer, Richard had commanded it to take orders from her, allowing her to control it.

The soul bringer didn't stop after his weapon returned to his grasp. He lunged with frightening speed and appeared in front of Beatrix in a blink of an eye.

“Die!” With a flash, the Phantom Ruler appeared out of the blue with its tip pointed right between Beatrix's eyes.

Everything happened so fast that humans wouldn't be able to catch it.

It was difficult for even Mabel to follow its movement.

Beatrix spun her body, her speed incredibly fast as well.

She dodged the attack and thrust Demon Slayer toward the soul bringer's head.

In the meantime, Jonathan was battling with the Eonetara Beast.

Not only could the Eonetara Beast create a sword from dark energy, but it was also very strong and quick. Combine all those factors with its tough armor-like skin, and Jonathan could feel a pounding headache.
