Seeing how effective the Patronus Charm was, Lu Yi decided not to let the guardian spirit continue attacking Ghost Rider. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed it—and cast another spell.
"The soul has left the body!"
"So heartbreaking…"
…
Over the next few minutes, Lu Yi tested a handful of spells from his memory, and the result was devastating—Ghost Rider suffered psychological torment beyond imagination.
Now, he looked at Lu Yi with indescribable fear—his entire body trembling uncontrollably.
Lu Yi had been using specialized torment spells. Even though some of them didn't work on Ghost Rider, the ones that did—were enough to haunt him for eternity.
"Spells targeting the soul have no effect—but spells targeting dark creatures do. Is it because Ghost Rider's soul is in someone else's possession?" Lu Yi mused, rubbing his chin, completely ignoring Ghost Rider's panic.
Ghost Rider had sold his soul to the devil—and the devil clearly hadn't returned it.
Besides that, Lu Yi couldn't think of any other explanation for why soul-targeting spells failed.
"But now there's a tricky problem. I can torture Ghost Rider—but actually killing him is incredibly troublesome!"
With his soul no longer inside his body, Ghost Rider was essentially immortal—nearly impossible to kill. Even Lu Yi couldn't do it.
He could break him—but he couldn't end him.
And as time passed, Ghost Rider's power would recover. His body would repair itself. He would return to his original state again and again.
This kind of immortality was the hardest to deal with!
Against an undead being like this, Lu Yi's strength and magic meant nothing.
"So this is what higher worlds are like? Physical power is useless—and lower-tier magic too," Lu Yi sighed helplessly.
"Host, why don't you pursue higher-level power?" the System finally couldn't stay silent anymore—and popped out.
Why are you here now?
"Because you've encountered trouble. And if you're in trouble, so am I. You've accumulated three normal draws, two enhanced draws, and one perfect draw. Why are you keeping them? For decoration? Does hoarding help you?"
"It certainly doesn't. But why do I even have so many extra draws?"
"Host, next time, please consider your recent battle count. Every battle gives a chance for a draw!"
"Oh, I see!" Lu Yi counted for a moment, then frowned. "Wait—one is missing!"
"Yes, some battles don't even qualify for the lowest draw, so those are skipped. Also, your current battle is still ongoing—so you haven't earned a draw from it yet!"
"You're right," Lu Yi nodded. "So, System, what do you suggest I use first?"
"Based on your current situation, both perfect extraction and enhanced extraction are possible—but perfect extraction is most suitable. 100% power and perfect ability—this will make the host stronger! The host's current power… is still quite weak!"
"Perhaps just a little. Only a little," Lu Yi responded casually.
Tens of thousands of tons of strength sounded powerful—but in the Marvel world, there were far too many with cheat-like abilities. Tens of thousands of tons was nothing special. The only reason Lu Yi stood atop this battlefield was simply because those real monsters hadn't shown up yet. If they did—he wouldn't even have the chance to run.
And as for Ghost Rider's master—well, that was a perfect example.
Ghost Rider's master was no ordinary being. He was one of the Seven Lords of Hell. The King of Hatred. A figure recorded in the Bible.Mephisto.
His presence alone spoke volumes.
He could not leave Hell—so he required agents like Ghost Rider to act on his behalf. Otherwise… well.
Just then, the System chime sounded.
"Congratulations to the host! You have drawn the powerful supreme being—Merlin—from the Mage Apprentice Plane!"
"Supreme Merlin?"
Lu Yi had seen The Sorcerer's Apprentice before. He had studied the characters and the magic shown in that film.
The characters weren't anything special—but the magic system was very different.
In that world, magic was explained scientifically—using human brainwaves affecting the material world—allowing them to bend reality to release magic.
That magic system was more complex, more powerful, and could even grant immortality. It also involved high-level concepts like death and space.
It couldn't fully resolve the Ghost Rider problem—but it could temporarily strip him of immortality.
That was good enough—though still slightly below Lu Yi's expectations.
"Oh well—better than nothing. System, upload everything!"
The moment Lu Yi spoke, a stream of information surged into his mind—bringing piercing pain, just like last time.
"Can't you be gentle? This is way too uncomfortable!"
"Pain is irrelevant. The host has received what he wished for. Now the host can attempt to deal with Ghost Rider. This world's magic offers another method to truly kill him!"
"I know… just let me rest first. My head is killing me…" Lu Yi groaned, rubbing his temples.
"Take your time," the System answered—and vanished again.
Only Lu Yi, battling the headache—Yuriko, anxious—and Ghost Rider, desperate to escape—remained.
Each trapped in their own thoughts.
