Chapter 224: Realization
[Chapter 223 Comments.]
[Keltic_Spirit: Ehhh? Why keep the car when you have a perfectly good mount right behind you for future endeavours, especially underground ones, such as the "2nd world" beneath the crust that may exist.]
[TheTavius08: Yo consider what i said like 30 chapters ago.A duck.. but it's a earth bending duck,or a fire bending duck,or a water bending duck,or a air bending duck.]

Looking at the comment, Theo said, "No, no. This is not our car. The commander is lending us this car, so we should bring it back.
"Well, I can't say for sure about the animals. I will just continue to progress the story and take advantage of all the opportunities that come my way."
Theo found a place to park his car. "I should have learned more about space techniques or even created a bigger space ring to store this inside my space element. Unfortunately, I can't do it right now. The space inside my body is purely for living beings, so I don't know what kind of damage a non-living being will receive when entering that space."
Theo let out a long sigh before parking it right in front of a tall building, a few hundred meters from his students.
He had asked the dragon horses to make sure to keep his students alive, so he wasn't that worried about them.
Once he came out of the car, Theo looked at the giant worm and the rest of the zombies. "I guess I will be fighting all of them."

Theo activated the Arkhasians since he wanted to settle this fight as quickly as possible.
When the roll stopped, a new weapon appeared. While he was happy that it was a different weapon, he couldn't help but ask, "Why is this weapon?"
The weapon he got was actually not a weapon. It was a shield… a big shield. It could easily cover Theo's entire body.
"I guess the author won't give me the weapon I'm most confident with…" Theo sighed. While he had learned other weapons, he still had his main weapon. In his original world, that weapon accompanied him from when he first started until he became the strongest. "I guess the author is saving the best for last."
Theo looked at the zombies while smiling. "Alright. I will try to defeat you in fifteen minutes."
…
On the other side, Avalon and Maya had landed on top of a tall building. They used this tall building in order to observe everything around them.
"It seems that the Tier 5 zombie is following us. I guess we're not so lucky…" Maya paused for a moment. "There are hundreds of zombies behind it as well. If I'm not wrong, there are at least four Tier 4 zombies among them."
Avalon looked at these zombies, realizing that the only way to defeat them was to awaken their talent.
For Maya, it might be related to the Knight Link.
Avalon took a deep breath before asking, "There is one thing I want to ask you before we fight them."
"Is that important right now?" Maya frowned while turning her head to Avalon, startled by his serious expression.
Avalon asked, "Can you use your power to not oppress the weak but protect them from now on?"
Maya's expression changed when she heard that question.
…
On the other side, Oliver and Haruka had landed on a rather short building.
"We are lucky that we don't have to deal with the Tier 5 zombies. But still, we get a lot more lower tier zombies. So, our situation doesn't change…" Oliver wondered if the items in his Inventory would be enough to kill these zombies.
To his surprise, Haruka didn't reply to him. Instead, her gaze was empty as if she were in the middle of thinking something else.
"Haruka?" Oliver frowned, not understanding her action.
Meanwhile, Haruka glanced to the side, finding a beautiful woman next to her. She asked in her mind, 'It seems that I have restrained you from reaching your true potential…'
'I don't understand what you're saying.'
'I have limited myself with my knowledge about exorcism. However, our world right now is connected to nine other worlds. When Teacher said it, I realized that there was a more fitting way for you to unleash your power. Do you remember my eyes?'
The ghost fell silent for a moment before asking, 'What do you want?'
'Are you willing to trust your soul to me?'
'Are you going to turn me into someone familiar?'
'Yes.' Haruka nodded. 'My eyes allow me to see souls. These zombies don't have souls, so they can't be considered alive in a sense. That's why you're able to seize their body. But if you think about it, why do you have to seize their body?'
The ghost fell silent for a moment before smiling wryly. 'I can't help but remember the time when we first met… You have always been so hesitant whenever you ask me, but now, you have become much more confident and bolder.'
'Ehm…' Haruka looked down as if she had just made a mistake.
'I'm complimenting you. If you think that I'm worthy of being your contracted familiar, then I will do it. I'm already a soul anyway, so I shall accompany you until I depart from this world.'
Haruka smiled and finally opened her mouth. "Oliver. Do you have a knife?"
"I have one. Why do you ask?" Oliver took out the knife with an innocent face.
Suddenly, Haruka snatched the knife and answered him with her action. She raised that knife before stabbing her left arm.
"Kh." Haruka gritted her teeth as tears were coming out of the corner of her eyes.
"Huh? What are you doing?" Oliver panicked, trying to stop her. He thought Haruka was so stressed that she was harming herself.
However, Haruka tossed the knife to the side and dyed her right index and middle fingers with that blood before drawing a crescent moon pattern on the back of her hand.
"Kanami. Are you willing to become my friend?"
"I am willing," the ghost replied with a firm tone.
"With my blood as the medium, I summon you into this world of living. Heed my call, my left hand."
Oliver dropped his jaw as if he couldn't believe what he had just seen. A beautiful woman appeared out of thin air. She had long blond hair and a pair of golden eyes. Her age didn't seem to be that different from theirs. However, there was a white crescent moon on her back, giving her an ethereal feeling.
Soon, the blood that flowed out of Haruka's arm started to flow toward her body, becoming the medium of her existence in this world. And due to this reason, she could be called half-spirit half-human.
And because she was half-human, Haruka tossed all the talismans in her possession into the air. The talismans fell like normal papers, but surprisingly, all of them were moving in the same directions before they floated around this new person.
"I'm not going to limit myself anymore." Haruka smiled with a pale face. "From now on, you are going to be known as the first familiar who can become an exorcist."
The spirit gradually opened her eyes and waved her hand, causing the talismans to spin as if she were sweeping a screen. With a flick of her finger, a talisman flew forward, heading straight to the zombie.
The talisman then summoned raging water, pushing all the lower tier zombies back. Instead of Haruka, it was this spirit that now controlled the talisman, allowing Haruka to do other things.
The spirit smiled. "I hear your call and shall become the sword that eliminates your enemies."
