While the Evil Spirit was distracted by the Array, Taran and another Exorcist quickly moved the severely injured Samor and the unconscious Touk outside the Array.

"You go join Kuber to feed Spiritual Power into the Array; I'll direct the Array's Strength!"

"Okay!"

When the squad's only other remaining Exorcist had departed, a flash of light emanated from Taran's hand, and a fist-sized Crystal Stone engraved with delicate silver Runes instantly appeared in her palm.

Now, it's my turn!

Looking at the Evil Spirit in midair, a sharp glint flashed in Taran's eyes.

As Spiritual Power was fed into it, the special Crystal Stone immediately emitted a faint glow, the silver Runes lighting up layer by layer.

In an instant, a thread-like, pearly white beam shot straight into the light sphere in the sky.

Eye of the Sky... the name Lin Qiu gave the Array. Judging by its appearance, it's quite fitting.

Watching the light sphere in the sky now resembling a giant eye opening, Taran could hardly wait to witness the Array's power.

With a thought, the light on the Crystal Stone in her hand flickered slightly.

In the sky, from the light sphere that resembled a giant eye, a torrent of Spiritual Power about one meter in diameter suddenly plummeted.

Its target was the Bizarre Evil Spirit, still struggling desperately to break free from the Array's restraining force.

BOOM!

Accompanied by pitch-black smoke and the HISSING sound of corrosion, the Bizarre's silhouette was blasted directly into the ground.

"Impossible! What the hell is that thing?" The Evil Spirit's furious voice erupted from the huge pit, clearly finding the sudden reversal of fortunes difficult to accept.

Taran, controlling the Array's energy, was also startled. She hadn't expected this Evil Spirit's Life Force to be so formidable; it could still roar even after taking a direct hit from the Array.

Then take this!

Although the Evil Spirit's state was somewhat unexpected, Taran still had full confidence in the Array.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

The continuous booming sounds echoed relentlessly, and the Evil Spirit's voice, full of vigor at first, gradually faded until it was inaudible.

Seeing victory at hand, a brighter gleam shone in Taran's eyes.

Just as the Evil Spirit before her was about to be completely annihilated, a sound came from the distance. From inside the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame—the Glass Pyramid building—came the grating shriek of twisting architecture and the shattering of glass.

The distant anomaly made Taran's heart clench, but with the Evil Spirit on the verge of death, she couldn't afford to abandon her efforts.

She could only choose to ignore it for the moment and focus on dealing with the Bizarre entity before her.

Finally, after Taran controlled the Eye of the Sky to strike once more, no more sounds came from the Evil Spirit in the giant pit.

With a vigilant expression, Taran slowly approached the pit and looked down.

At the center of the pit, the Evil Spirit's body was gone. Only a pile of ashes, still exuding warmth, remained, marking its complete annihilation.

"Finally, we succeeded!"

The smile that had just touched Taran's lips was instantly wiped away by the tremendous commotion emanating from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the distance.

The twisting shriek of metal, the crash of shattering glass striking the ground, and the rumble of collapsing walls... A multitude of sounds mingled, and in mere moments, Cleveland's most famous landmark vanished completely.

And where it once stood, an enormous, Bizarre head appeared, its eyes closed and its surface covered in fleshy warts.

Is that the Evil Spirit's head? Upon seeing this Bizarre sight, Taran instantly thought of the headless Evil Spirit from earlier.

From another direction, Amita, upon seeing this head, finally understood the source of her earlier unease. The headless Evil Spirit had clearly appeared near Taran's team earlier, so what was controlling these deformed humans now? Furthermore, the Bizarre aura on her side showed no signs of diminishing.

"Move fast!" Amita shouted, looking up at the huge, Bizarre head in the distance, then led her team of Exorcists quickly towards Taran. There was no longer any need for them to remain there.

However, Taran, directly in front of the Bizarre head, now wore a grave expression. The Bizarre aura emanating from this head was far stronger than the previous Evil Spirit's; it was very likely a Middle Rank Evil Spirit.

I wonder if this Array can even harm this Evil Spirit? And it doesn't seem like it intends to let any of us leave.

Sensing a faint feeling of being targeted, Taran, deciding to test it, directly controlled the Eye of the Sky to send down another beam of light.

The beam fell in an instant, striking the top of the Bizarre head in the blink of an eye.

HISS! Dozens of twisted, writhing warts instantly turned to ash.

But the next second, the Bizarre flesh quivered, and identical warts regrew in an instant, as if the Array's recent attack had merely been Taran's illusion.

This is bad! It's definitely a Middle Rank Evil Spirit, and the Eye of the Sky's attack seems to have no effect!

Realizing the vast disparity in strength, Taran immediately turned and shouted, "Everyone, retreat at full speed, now!"

Hearing Taran's shout, the expressions of all the Exorcists changed simultaneously; they turned and fled. According to the original plan, the order "retreat at full speed" was only to be given if they encountered an irresistibly powerful Bizarre entity. It was clear now that the head was far beyond their ability to combat.

The Agency's Exorcists tried to flee, but the Bizarre entity had no intention of letting them go.

The dense Bizarre aura spread instantly, blanketing the entire area in the blink of an eye.

"Fuck, why can't I move?"

All the Exorcists suddenly lost control of their bodies. Layers of the Bizarre aura, like countless microscopic drills, strove to penetrate them.

This is bad! The same thought flashed through everyone's mind.

Their Spirits were gradually numbed, their souls starting to sink into oblivion. One by one, the Spiritual Power within the Exorcists subsided. The Guardian Crystals and other protective items they carried shattered, one after another. The terror on their faces gradually vanished, replaced by apathy. A thick, white film began to cover their variously colored pupils.

It seemed the Agency's Exorcists were on the verge of annihilation, yet even the strongest among them, Taran and Amita, were powerless. Even they could feel their Spiritual Power gradually slipping from their control.

That guy Chu Feng is probably still fast asleep in the office. Taran, almost amused by the sudden thought that flashed through her mind, felt her consciousness dulling, and a shimmer of moisture appeared in her eyes. I wonder if Lin Qiu will manage without Amita and me? I never thought I'd die here...

Just as everyone present had sunk into despair, a blade gleam, condensed to its utmost limit, shot from the distance, striking the Evil Spirit's tightly shut eyes in an instant.

AOW!

As the blade gleam struck, the Evil Spirit's agonized shriek abruptly echoed.
