Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2880

The spirits outside were at least normal human height and looked ragged and tattered. However, this spirit's size and the oppressive pressure it exerted were extraordinary.

Andrew estimated it possessed at least peak martial god-level strength. Even after death, its resentment could condense into such a powerful, vengeful spirit. It was hard to imagine how heaven-defying the living person behind this spirit must have been.

At the very least, it must have stood far above humanity, ruling over the very peak of mortals.

"I warned you, but you didn't listen," Rosemary said with a hint of mockery as Andrew retreated. "Now you're feeling uncomfortable, aren't you? Let me add one more thing: if you get within 1000 feet of this spirit, it'll immediately detect your location and launch an attack."

Andrew remained silent, his expression thoughtful.

Rosemary proposed again, "We should cooperate, and then we can leave this cursed place. As you've seen, the only way forward is to get past this giant spirit. Otherwise, the Cerulean Tide outside could erupt at any moment, and in three hours, we can't possibly escape Wraith Graveyard. So other than passing through this withered forest, we have no other options."

Andrew gave her a strange smile. "So tell me, how exactly do you want to cooperate?"

Rosemary answered immediately, "It is simple. You draw the spirit's attention, and I circle around and destroy the altar. Once it loses its anchor, it will naturally collapse. It is just like the Cerulean Tide outside, which is the power source for countless spirits. Without that blue mist carrying them, no wraith can harm us. That is how it works."

Rosemary took a deep breath and forced down her disgust and fury. She growled, "Tell me your plan, and spare me your vulgar language. I am an angel of the Church. Such base thoughts mean nothing to me."

Andrew nearly stumbled and burst out laughing. "Look, Lomuia Grand Cathedral may have crowned you an angel. But do not get confused. That does not mean you are actually an angel. Real angels serve your God up in heaven. What, did you play princess for too long and start believing you fell from the sky?"

He did not even glance at her furious expression. "You distract that powerful spirit, and I will destroy its altar."
