"Wait. What just happened?"
The Glede Demons standing on the edge of the Ghost Altar were utterly dumbfounded. They couldn't believe their own eyes.
Bacchus personally handpicked these Glede Demons to join the team. They were regarded as the elites of their race.
Over the past couple of years, all of them had the opportunity of going onto the Ghost Altar. In fact, they had been there several times already. However, all attempts proved to be unsuccessful.
Bacchus stood on the edge of the Ghost Altar with his eyes wide in shock. His entire body was trembling. This was unbelievable!
He had a difficult time processing what he had just witnessed.
It was absolutely surreal!
All of the Great Ghost Priests had rejected Decker. Naturally, they didn't quite expect that the hatred-level Treacherous Being would be willing to fuse with Decker's Arcana.
This was preposterous!
Never in the history of Night View Island had this kind of thing occurred. They originally deemed it impossible.
Bacchus was keenly observing the reactions of the Great Ghost Priests. He noticed that they were undeniably flabbergasted as well. The complication must have originated from the Treacherous Being.
At that very moment, he felt a sudden desire to take this hatred-level Treacherous Being away.
Based on his observation, the Treacherous Being had become attracted to only the Arcana. Surely, he wouldn't be interested in a good-for-nothing like Decker.
But in the end, Bacchus managed to suppress the strong urge to do so. He just kept monitoring the situation and stayed silent.
He knew that if he enraged the Treacherous Being, he would probably die a horrific and miserable death. He didn't dare to take the risk.
In the meantime, all he could do was watch the large hedgehog as he merged with the glazed sheet. Soon after, Decker closed it.
"Is that... Is that it? Is it done?" Fuxi asked aloud while staring wide-eyed at the glazed sheet.
As a matter of fact, this was the actual way of fusing with resentment-level and hatred-level Treacherous Beings.
The Arcana could easily be used to lure the Treacherous Beings. As long as one could do it, fusing with them would be possible.
Needless to say, this would only be the first step.
If they wanted the Treacherous Beings to have fighting power and stick with them through life and death, they first had to train these creatures for a long period of time.
"Does this mean... Does this Treacherous Being belong to me now?" Decker looked around and sought answer from the ones present.
However, no one answered him. The twelve Great Ghost Priests were still completely stunned.
Out of the blue, one of the Great Ghost Priests shouted. He had a sudden recollection of something he saw before. "I remember now! I know I have seen that hedgehog somewhere before! That is the Ghost Master's pet! Do you remember? Think hard!"
"You're right! It's Cary! That hedgehog is Cary!"
"That really is the Ghost Master's pet! How can I forget?"
All at once, the other Great Ghost Priests were reminded of the same memory.
There was an enormous painting hanging in the depths of the Ghost Mountain.
The portrait was of a gigantic monkey. This was the renowned master of the Ghost Mountain.
The Great Ghost Priests referred to this huge monkey as the "Ghost Master".
The magnificent painting portrayed the Ghost Master sitting with his legs astride. One of his hands was spread out in front of him. There at his palm laid a little hedgehog.
They deeply acknowledged the Ghost Master's authority. Naturally, they were afraid of him. Hence, they rarely made attempts to study the portrait carefully. Most of the time, they merely sneaked glances at it.
They had been quite oblivious to the little hedgehog in the painting. Because they didn't pay too much attention to him, they almost forgot about his existence.
But now, one of them finally remembered it. Quite possibly, all of those stolen glances had gotten him ingrained in his subconscious mind.
This meant that the hedgehog was not one of the hatred-level Treacherous Beings waiting to be selected on the third floor. Rather, he was the Ghost Master's pet.
Knowing this, how could they allow Decker to take the hedgehog?
"Hand over the Treacherous Being at once!"
one of the Great Ghost Priests demanded. "We cannot allow you to take him away!"
At that point, a diamond-shaped glazed sheet suddenly flashed in between the Great Ghost Priest's eyebrows.
Looked inside, the glazed sheet appeared jet black. It also seemed as though there was a black snake lurking behind it.
They were now aware that this priest's Treacherous Being was black.
Swoosh! They heard a sudden rush of air.
Afterwards, they felt an awfully terrifying aura. It was emanating from the glazed sheet.
