Bruno kept looking at Ethan up and down, as if he wanted to see what Ethan was special, but no matter how he looked at it, he was just an ordinary young man, and it was no different from many young adventurers.

To say different things... it seems that this young man does not have any magic stone equipment. This is incredible. Without magic stone equipment, he can do so many things. How did he do it?

"Is it because of that stick?"

He suspected that the stick in Ethan's hand was a very special magic stone equipment, and even Lord Beckford's Death Castle could not block its power, so this young man could do so many amazing things.

"if……"

Just as Bruno was about to say something, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, then strangled his neck fiercely, and a piece of energy blade exuding a holy aura jumped out of Bruno.

"you……"

Bruno, whose kidneys were hit by a critical blow, felt all his strength passing away, and he didn't even have the strength to speak. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, no sound came out and fell softly to the ground.

When Bruno collapsed to the ground, everyone saw clearly that it was Ethan who gave Bruno a fatal blow.

Logan turned his head and looked at the position where Ethan had been standing before, and found that there was also an Ethan standing there, but it was slowly dissipating - it was obvious that this was the phantom left by Ethan.

"No wonder Rocky likes this move very much. Sometimes this move is really useful."

The moment Bruno appeared, Ethan silently used an illusion, left an image of himself on the spot, quietly came behind Bruno, and when the guy was about to say something, he gave him a back stung.

Logan has been on his ship for a long time. Ethan has learned many practical skills from Logan, an experienced warrior, including attacking from behind him where he can kill him with one blow, especially the trick of attacking the kidneys. He has made special efforts.

As for what Bruno wanted to say, he was too lazy to listen. The situation is clear now. This guy is obviously a spy arranged by Beckford here. When all the arrangements in Beckford failed, the "loyal" subordinate finally stood up and faced Ethan and others.

Ethan didn't know whether he came out to fight to the death with him and others or something else, but since he was sure he was an enemy, he might as well start first.

"What a pity my fighting cross."

The battle cross in his hand was wailing with black smoke. After Ethan stabbed Bruno on his back, he found that the negative energy in this guy's body was astonishingly large. The energy blades of the battle cross were corroded, and even affected the body of the battle cross.

He tried to use holy light to expel or purify it, but the blessing at the beach consumed too much holy light, and the remaining holy light energy could not remove the negative energy that invaded the inside.

It’s not that there is no other means to ‘save’ this weapon, but it would waste a lot of time and energy. Moreover, this combat cross has gradually failed to keep up with his needs, so he simply let the weapon be eroded and destroyed - there was no such thing as a degenerate combat cross. The huge negative energy directly destroyed the internal structure of the weapon. Now it is still intact on the surface, but in fact it is just an iron lump and nothing special.

"This guy is a little weird."

Ethan threw the destroyed weapon aside and looked down at Bruno's corpse. The guy's corpse still emitted terrible energy, which was difficult to detect than before when it was hidden. At this time, even the person who was the least sensitive to energy could feel the terrifying energy intensity.

"All dead are still playing tricks?"

Ethan observed for a moment and knew what was going on. Although this guy's body was dead, the huge death energy in his body protected his soul and began to transform Bruno towards the undead. After Ethan saw it, he immediately pulled out the guy's soul.

When he used to have no way to extract anyone's soul, divide and extract Professor Charles's spiritual body, Professor Charles's full cooperation and made a series of preparations before he did it.

Now he can't just extract his soul from the human body casually, but it's not difficult for him to solve the problem that Bruno is dead and his soul is just forcibly left in his body by special energy.

As Ethan raised his hands and brought up a white chain of light, Bruno's soul, which was transformed by the huge death energy, left his body directly and was finally brought into his hands by Ethan.

It looked like Ethan grabbed Bruno's neck and lifted him up. However, this Bruno was a translucent soul body, and actually had no weight.

The soul is very fragile, Ethan has known this for a long time.

Moreover, after losing the constraints of the body, there seems to be less concealment in the soul state. Many "people" will be unable to hide their thoughts and reveal many secrets at this time.

Wilson was unable to control his mouth in his soul state and revealed Beckford's name, allowing Ethan to know that there was a more powerful mastermind behind it.

Now I have caught another one. I am sorry to myself if I don’t interrogate it properly. Moreover, Ethan has the Holy Light Cross in his hand, which has a huge effect on this evil soul.

In addition, Serena can also use this evil soul to practice spiritual whipping, and this spell can directly act on the soul body.

It didn't take much effort at all, so Bruno explained everything clearly.

First of all, Beckford is not here at all. After arranging the Northern route, the mastermind has already gone to another route to do the same preparations.

Secondly, the demon heart is actually on Bruno, which is why there is such a huge negative energy on Bruno's corpse.

The function of this island is, as Ethan had previously speculated, to stop the adventurers in this sea area, and then turn everyone in this sea area and the calm sea area into undead creatures little by little.

As for the ultimate goal, Bruno didn't know that he was an adventurer in this sea area. During a voyage, he met Beckford who returned to this sea area. After being easily defeated, he decisively chose to surrender.

Beckford had already determined his plan at that time, but he was worried about some accidents, so he did not transform Bruno into an undead creature, but asked him to return to the central island to inquire about various information. If anything happened, it would make Beckford prepare.

That's why he agreed to join Brent's team so happily, just to find out the specific information nearby.

"Why surrender?"

Everything that should be known, and after the overall situation was decided, Brent and others also came here to hear all the "confessions". At this time, he had already understood everything. He wanted to know why Bruno chose to surrender?

"Why?"

Bruno, in his soul state, cannot control his thoughts well, and he almost says whatever he wants. In addition, he was tortured by Ethan for a while before, and now he is in a crazy state.

"Are I willing to die like this? So what if I become an undead? At least I can always 'live'."

"That would be considered alive?"

"Why not count?" Bruno's expression became more and more ferocious. Now he looked no different from an evil spirit: "I can think normally, move freely, and become stronger!"

Bruno, who was in a mad state, seemed to forget that he was being controlled by Ethan. He suddenly wanted to pounce on him and attack Brent like crazy, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not leave Ethan's palm.

Seeing this guy going crazy, and having known everything he wanted to know, Ethan's hand flashed with a golden light that was much stronger than before, and the holy light poured directly into Bruno's soul, completely purifying the evil spirit that had fallen into madness and was contaminated with a lot of negative energy.

The soul was destroyed, and Ethan destroyed the body. He had already learned from Bruno's previous explanation that the demonic heart of the island had merged with his body and could not be taken out alone.

Bruno is actually responsible for guarding the Demon Heart. If the situation is not good, he will merge with the Demon Heart and gain powerful strength to solve the problem. However, in that case Bruno will never be able to leave the island again.

But as soon as he started to merge, he was stabbed to death by Ethan with a back stab. Before the powerful force was completely owned by him, he completely left him.

"We can leave here by destroying his body now, right?"

"Yes."

This island is the energy provided by this demon heart, which is then formed and maintained. As long as the demon heart is destroyed, the island will immediately fall into collapse.

"We must move quickly, otherwise we will sink to the bottom of the sea with this island."

Ethan released the last part of the Holy Light Cross and turned into a golden flame filled with holy energy, burning Bruno's body.

As the flames continued to burn, the demonic heart that was integrated with the body began to be damaged, and the island began to show signs of collapse.

The clouds shrouded in the entire sea gradually dissipated, and the negative energy on the island began to fade.

Just as everyone was moving towards the beach and turned around and could no longer see where the castle was, the ground began to shake, and as time passed, the shaking became more and more frequent and more violent.
