The Admiral of Hogwarts

"It seems these runic spells are indeed useful." Hugo smiled as he watched the shadowy figure completely controlled by the electric current he was manipulating.

However, he knew that this was only a stalemate for now, so he took out a large handful of rune-inscribed stones from his pocket and threw them at the grayish-black mist.

The moment the rune stones touched the mist, countless electric sparks burst out, forming an electric dragon that tightly缠绕缠绕the blood cocoon, emitting a sizzling sound at the point of contact.

Amidst the piercing sound, strands of black mist separated from the main body of the mist, attempting to neutralize the blue-white electric dragon缠绕缠绕it.

This did work to some extent, as the blue electric dragon gradually dimmed as it was neutralized by the mist, but the cost was a significant consumption of the mist itself.

As strands of black mist and blue-white electricity turned into nothingness, the originally jet-black mist began to fade, gradually revealing a hunched, human-like figure in the middle.

Realizing that electricity was indeed the opponent's bane, Hugo threw out another handful of rune stones. But just as these stones touched the mist, the mist suddenly expanded.

Seeing this, Hugo and Veneto immediately retreated behind a nearby rock, while Veneto summoned a piece of her armor plate to block in front of them.

Just as they barely prepared themselves, the mist exploded with a bang, and grayish-black mist shot out in all directions like sharp arrows, creating a series of clanging sounds around them.

This mist seemed to have obvious corrosive properties. The things hit by the mist, whether stone or metal, had grooves on them, looking as if some acid had dripped on them.

Along with this venomous mist, a stream of grayish-black smoke flew straight towards Hugo and slammed into the shield that Veneto was holding up in front of him.

Seeing this, Veneto immediately conjured a rapier glowing faintly red in her hand, and thrust it out the moment the armor plate was retracted.

But when the sword struck the mist, Veneto felt as if her sword had only passed through a puff of air. Fortunately, the sword was imbued with the power of slaughter and destruction after being drawn, causing some damage to the mist and making it scream again.

At the same time, Veneto conjured a ball of golden-red flame in her other hand and slammed it into the ground. At this moment, a wisp of mist detached from the main body was trying to escape, but it was directly burned into a wisp of green smoke by this magical flame.

"Squeal—" A piercing scream came from the mist, which then exploded into dozens of small mist balls flying in all directions.

While Hugo and Veneto released electricity and flames to intercept the mist, a mist with a bloody glow inside rushed out of these mists and hit Veneto.

In an instant, Hugo felt a soul filled with coldness and negative emotions appear in the Admiral Network, and then began to try to wreak havoc in this network.

If this had happened a few years ago, this evil soul entering the Admiral Network might have caused some problems, but now, with dozens of ship girls connected to the Admiral Network, the attack carried by this soul was clearly not enough.

After entering the Admiral Network, the cold soul quickly turned into a cloud of black mist and tried to expand outwards, but soon a series of nets made purely of light appeared around the mist, enveloping it.

The mist crashed left and right against the light net, but it couldn't break through no matter what. It was even unable to make any moves due to the suppression of the sacred power of the light net.

Hugo realized at this time that this soul was very different from human souls, possessing some kind of abnormally strange penetrating ability. It would be very difficult to deal with without preparation.

If he wasn't mistaken, this soul should be the core of that strange gray mist, and the reason it had directly hit Veneto and entered her soul was because it wanted to regain a physical body for itself.

However, this guy obviously didn't expect Veneto's soul to be different from humans, so it directly rushed into the Admiral Network and was strongly surrounded by the ship girls.

Because of this, when the targeted holy light from Illustrious and Saint George began to fill the Admiral Network, it was much easier to deal with this cold soul than to deal with an ordinary soul of the same level.

Although the strength of this soul was equivalent to about ten ordinary people, making it practically invincible when possessing ordinary life forms, it was like fireflies vying with the bright moon compared to the souls of the ship girls.

Therefore, the mist formed by this soul was firmly trapped at the core by the light net, and at the same time, its vitality became lower and lower, and it even stopped moving in the Admiral Network in the end. Feeling that the opponent was no longer struggling, the ship girls manipulated the power in the Admiral Network to shrink the light net step by step, while releasing increasingly powerful light.

Finally, the light net compressed into a ball of light radiating a sun-like bright light outwards. And when this ball of light dimmed, a milky white transparent ball floated in the Admiral Network, with a faint gray mist flowing quietly inside the ball.

"It seems that this group of she-devils is even more evil than we imagined." After capturing this spiritual entity, all the ship girls in the Admiral Network began to analyze it, and a large amount of information was analyzed in less than a minute.

Under normal circumstances, it might take a long time to analyze a spiritual body. Even black wizards of Voldemort's level would only limit the search target to a certain period of time as much as possible.

However, for the ship girls connected by the Admiral Network, their special soul structure allows them to quickly segment their memories and absorb them separately.

"Is there anything strange about that?" Hugo asked puzzled. "These monsters are already extremely evil for using the killing of intelligent creatures to make potions. Is there anything worse than that?"

"Of course there is." Veneto, who had just finished reading a lot of information, said. "This Mother Night叉is completely different from ordinary Night叉. She has lived for 600 years."

"600 years!" Hugo showed a shocked expression after hearing what Veneto said. Because according to the knowledge learned in class, although the lifespan of Night叉is longer than that of humans, 200 to 220 years is already the limit. "How did she do it?"

"Just like you saw just now, the other party has a special soul transfer method." Veneto curled her lips and introduced, "The method is to attach one's soul to other people's bodies like just now, and then seize the body for rebirth."

"However, in order to be able to do this, the other party needs to devour a complete soul almost every day, because only in this way can they have enough soul strength to try to seize the body for rebirth."

"600 years—that means the other party has devoured tens of thousands of souls!" Hugo's face showed a shocked expression.

"Yes, that's why this Night叉is called the Mother of Night叉." Veneto nodded. "Even this secret base was built by her."
