Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1148 - 745: The Reality of Never Reaching a Killing Blow

"What the hell is going on in Sain Dungeon!"

Enhancing the Black Knight is understandable, such powerful Elite Monsters do have the potential to be strengthened.

But what's up with the Ghosts!

Why can't Blade Qi even cause any damage to them? The sharp Blade Qi passes through their bodies like a gentle breeze brushing over a hill, without stirring even a ripple.

As if the two exist in different dimensions.

First, Animated Corpses and now Ghosts, do these Low Tier Monsters really have the potential to be enhanced?

But admittedly, it is quite unexpected.

"Brother, use magic," Anleisi reminded.

Kaius's mouth twitched, and confusion showed in his eyes.

Because he had already used it earlier.

He certainly knew that using Magic Attack was the best way to deal with Undead Creatures, so there was already pure attributeless magic power in the Blade Qi to enhance its killing power.

Yet the Blade Qi, with magic enhancement, still pierced through the Ghost, leaving its body seemingly unscathed.

No, perhaps it isn't unscathed; maybe the damage caused was too minor to notice?

Kaius furrowed his brow deeper, slashing again with pure Fighting Qi-enhanced weapon strikes, without any magic this time.

Predictably, the attack passed right through the Ghost's body, with the sensation of slicing through air felt along the blade.

"What?"

The scene finally elicited a sound of confusion from Kaius.

Since when did Ghosts, these Low Tier Undead Creatures, learn to be immune to physical attacks, a seemingly overpowered ability?

Holy Light encircled the sword as he adeptly dodged Ghost attacks and swiftly unleashed a storm of Holy Light Blade Qi, a combat skill with High Tier killing power.

The attack successfully shredded two nearby Ghosts!

However, the Holy Light Storm slowly dissipated after tearing through the Undead, indicating an energy drain.

"Eh?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Awakened from her reverie, Anna uttered a sound higher in pitch than anyone else present.

Could it be that the High Tier killing power of Holy Light combat skills was exhausted after slicing through two Low Tier Undead Creatures? Ridiculous!

Even with the facts laid before her, she found it hard to believe, preferring to blame it on Kaius's physical discomfort reducing the skill's power.

"Ow!"

The Ghosts' eerie cry resounded again, prompting a more shocked call from Anna.

Because those two Ghosts she thought were shredded appeared again!

No, probably what was shredded was merely the visual effect caused by the Holy Light Storm, when in reality it hadn't attacked at all, instead expending all its energy in one explosive maximum output.

Doesn't this make Sain Dungeon's Ghosts even more against nature!

"How do we even fight this?"

Kaius glanced back at Anleisi, and both read the emotions in each other's eyes.

Sain Dungeon's Ghosts seemed a bit different from the general concept of Ghosts in the surface world.

"I understand,"

Anleisi immediately pulled out her Magic Wand, usually wielding her knife as a spellcasting medium due to her extraordinary magic power usage, but now her seriousness was evident.

Each Holy Light Knight's chest glowed with mysterious runes, and magic power actively flew from their bodies, forming Holy Light ribbons around the Magic Wand.

The wand pointed at the charging Ghosts, instantly summoning an enormous Magic Array capable of enveloping all Monsters present, and a torrent of Holy Light surged forth!

The Ghosts were completely submerged within, seemingly dead on the surface.

Yet, in the next moment, the Ghosts covered by the Holy Light rushed out, diligently continuing their charge!

Anleisi's lips twitched, wondering how these Ghosts survived!

Wasn't magic supposed to affect Ghosts? How could the thousand-year-old laws suddenly fail?

No time for further thought, she called to the Holy Light Knights coming to their senses, urging everyone to retreat, though even without her call, the Knights who had witnessed the situation firsthand wouldn't foolishly stand around.

"Everyone, give it a try, see if there's any way to hit these damn Monsters!"

Thus, the Holy Light Knights clashed with the Ghosts, outnumbered by three times, as an Image Stone floated up beside Anna to record the unfolding scene.

One Knight, shielded by a big shield made of Holy Light, charged into the Ghost, passing cleanly through its transparent body, dust streaming behind him to the lake bottom, seemingly as if the Ghost had no collision volume.

Another Knight boosted with Fighting Qi, unleashed techniques appearing magically even, yet on the Ghosts, all produced 'clipping' phenomena, still failing to attack.

As for magic, all sorts of magic were shining forth; despite specializing in Holy Light Magic, the Knights had dabbled somewhat in other attributes too.

Attack Magic invalid, Binding Magic invalid, Defense Magic invalid... Illusion Magic partially effective.

Only some Illusion Magic altering physical scenes could interfere with the Ghosts' perception of the Knights, though it wasn't foolproof, as Ghosts could still pass through walls.

The Ghosts remained impervious to attacks, yet could attack others, even ordinary scratches made dangerous by sheer numbers.

"... Retreat!"

Anleisi bit her lip, baffled by when Ghosts became such unsolvable Monsters, forced to lead the retreat for now.

However, the consequences of their terrain alterations appeared, revealing they were fleeing deeper into Little Londo Ruins instead of returning to the Fire Transmission Ceremony, water now lapping their ankles!

"What on earth is this! Can't you two Heroes do something?" shouted Anna from the rear of the retreating group, the Ghost's hand almost at her shoulder.

"There's surely a way, just haven't thought of it yet!" Anleisi replied.

"How's that any different than saying nothing!?"

Kaius waved his hand, cutting cracks into the ground, a Ghost foolishly falling in but quickly floating back up in relentless pursuit.

With every step deeper, more Ghosts appeared, while the narrow map of Little Londo Ruins presented increasing challenges, alongside revealing Gong Qiying's human malevolence.

Randomly breaking planks, potentially drowning deep water, and traps appearing as deep water but hiding transparent Slime...

Various terrain deaths wouldn't let the Holy Light Knights keep fleeing like headless chickens; they had to focus on the layouts before them, adding a burden to their already difficult retreat.

Ghost numbers chasing them reached... a terrifying sum, the prize pool continually accumulating.

"What should we do?"

Then, finally, enemies other than Ghosts emerged, silently blocking the group's path masterfully, a figure all too familiar.

It was [Soul-sucking Ghost].
