Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1149 - 746: Two Explanations of the Soul-sucking Ghost
Soul-sucking Ghost, both a well-known covenant name within the Sain Dungeon and a type of Elite Monster.
However, as certain intruders became more notorious and famous, people now think of Soul-sucking Ghost more as those varied hooded and crimson spiritual entities rather than a type of monster.
If you had been invaded once by a Soul-sucking Ghost from the Sain Dungeon, you'd have a lasting impression, especially if the invader hailed from the Yanor Kingdom.
After all, adventurers widely believe that invaders from the Yanor Kingdom are notoriously poor in quality; all kinds of ill manners like squatting arose from there.
The infamy of the intruders, even those as far away as Anleisi in Scameroon have heard of it—mainly because the Church frequently uses the stories of intruders as negative examples in teachings.
Having heard so much about intruders, facing an original Soul-sucking Ghost feels strange and unfamiliar to them for the moment.
"Please, you two, crush it in one go!" Anna shouted, full of confidence in these two heroes' strength... excluding the earlier disadvantage against the Ghost.
The Soul-sucking Ghost, different from the Ghost, appeared solid and tangible, clearly something they could hit, unlike the ghostly encounter before.
Also, the strength of the Soul-sucking Ghost as an Elite Monster is recorded to be weaker than the Black Knight, Molten Furnace Knight, and other Knight enemies. The only thing to be wary of is the Dark Hand, and keeping a distance ensures safety.
Fortunately, Anleisi excels at long-distance magic manipulation!
Thus concluded.
This mere Soul-sucking Ghost hardly qualifies as a speed bump for the heroes!
"Kill him, tear him apart, yank his spine from his bloody flesh!"
Before Anna could continue with more bloodthirsty remarks, Anleisi quickly turned back and gagged her with Holy Light, glaring at her.
Anna calmed down at that point.
Anleisi disagreed with her words.
The Soul-sucking Ghost in front of them felt rather unusual.
Though it undoubtedly received enhancement in the Sain Dungeon, what surprised her was the extraordinarily peculiar extent of its enhancement.
Without engagement, the full strength of the opponent was uncertain, but merely observing, she felt an oppression not inferior to, even exceeding, the Sword and Shield Black Knight they just encountered.
"I'll test its strength!"
Charging at the forefront, the heavily armored Holy Light Knight wielded massive shields in both hands like door-sized barriers, charging at the Soul-sucking Ghost like a dump truck.
His confidence came from the giant shields in his hands, which would require three or four cuts from the Black Knight to break.
The Soul-sucking Ghost, exhibiting agility beyond the brave Black Knight, dodged the obvious charging path of the Holy Light Knight, sidestepping to prepare for a backstab.
"Anticipated."
With an uncharacteristic swiftness for a Heavy Knight, the Holy Light Knight pivoted quickly, and meantime, Anleisi, from quite a distance, raised her hand, summoning multiple Holy Light Spears toward the Soul-sucking Ghost's back.
With a big shield in the front and spears in the back, the Soul-sucking Ghost appeared with no escape!
Without any prior discussion, the Holy Light Knight and Anleisi seamlessly executed a joint attack, a testament to their teamwork.
The Soul-sucking Ghost, as if in resignation, raised the Dark Sword, striking at the Holy Light Knight's heavy shield.
The Dark Sword left a deep slash mark on the Holy Light Shield, but it wasn't enough to break it, and the imminent spears awaited—
The Soul-sucking Ghost's hand suddenly emitted a dense red glow, spreading an ominous aura rapidly.
It was the Soul-sucking Ghost's trademark skill, Dark Hand!
In that instant, the Holy Light Knight felt an ominous premonition, but the Dark Hand couldn't possibly penetrate such a thick shield; he should be safe behind it.
More critically, there was no way to alter his charging trajectory in such a short time; the giant shield was nearly upon the Soul-sucking Ghost's face!
"Boom!"
A muffled echo as the Dark Hand clashed with the heavy shield!
The next moment, the sinister dark red hand pierced through the crack made by the Dark Sword, the Holy Light Shield shattering into starlight fragments.
The Holy Light Spears struck the enemy, the sound of piercing flesh inescapable.
However, the number of souls held by the group didn't increase.
"Not good!"
Without thinking, Anleisi cast Healing Magic towards the Holy Light Knight's position, as the light formed by the shattered shield dissipated.....
With his body pierced by a multitude of spears, the Soul-sucking Ghost drove the Dark Hand straight into the Holy Light Knight's chest, the Magic Ore-crafted armor proving futile!
The Holy Light Knight's life force and humanity continuously siphoned away, while the Healing Magic from Anleisi restored some, the restored portions instantly consumed by the Soul-sucking Ghost!
The wounds on its body, caused by the spears piercing through, were swiftly regenerating!
The offensive capability of the Dark Hand... when had it become so formidable!?
After all, in this era, even the soul-sucking ghosts were full of humanity, in a rather peak state, and stronger than they were later.
Just a few seconds of absorption, and the injuries on the soul-sucking ghost were mostly healed!
In contrast, the Holy Light Knight had already started rolling his eyes, showing an expression almost like an imbecile, looking like he couldn't hold on!
Several flashes instantly teleported to his side, the fastest batch of Holy Light Knights arrived to rescue their ally. Kaius was the first to strike, unleashing a combat skill concentrated into a blade qi, as if to return the humiliation received by ghosts back to the soul-sucking ghost!
The other Holy Light Knights quickly reacted, coordinating with his rhythm to unleash fierce attacks.
The soul-sucking ghost cast aside the Holy Light Knight, once again employing the Dark Hand for defense, yet was still staggered a few steps by the combined force, quickly countering with a Dark Sword to fend off the decline.
The others were about to seize the momentum to continue attacking, but were halted by Kaius.
Because the ghosts were already approaching.
Turning back to see the ghastly sight of the ghost army, its presence made the whole world seem monochrome.
The Holy Light Knights had to bypass the soul-sucking ghost and continue fleeing; with their speed, avoiding the soul-sucking ghost wasn't difficult.
People fled the scene wherever there was a path, running with wide strides, picking up any light points they encountered but having no time to check what they picked up.
They appeared to be on the verge of escaping the monster's chase.
However, the monsters in the Sain Dungeon could present all sorts of uncertainties.
"——!!!"
The soul-sucking ghost suddenly let out an indescribable howl, a madness wrapped in reason instantly spreading across the region.
The people bypassing him felt an ominous premonition, and this premonition was verified in the next second.
"Gollum—"
Calm standing water erupted into bubbles, one dark sword after another breaking the surface, and immediately appearing were the soul-sucking ghosts.
Every dark sword corresponded to a soul-sucking ghost!
"No way?"
Anna's eyelids twitched wildly; it was the first time in her life seeing so many elite monsters appear together!
The oppressive feeling was absolutely overwhelming!
And when the soul-sucking ghosts and ghosts gather in such numbers at the same location, the atmosphere shifted towards despair, the monsters' presence repelling humanity, making breathing difficult for ordinary people.
Even more despairing was that the path ahead had unknowingly disappeared, leaving only endless standing water.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
"Is there no path to take anymore!"
"What to do, just fight?"
Anleisi looked at the approaching ghosts and soul-sucking ghosts, bit her lip, held her sword horizontally, and said:
"Fight to the death!"
...
"Fight to the death my foot..."
Revived at the bonfire at the starting point of the Little Longde Ruins, Anleisi squatted on the ground drawing circles in solitude.
In the end, she still couldn't attack those damned ghosts; what exactly should she do to take them down!
Everyone was fighting just now, no, was being beaten very miserably!
Yet at that moment, she stubbornly remained conscious; was my anger not enough?
The irritation made her start to lose hair.
"Didn't they say to use dungeon creations to deal with the dungeon? Why haven't I seen anything to deal with ghosts yet..."
She suddenly paused, remembering something, and abruptly began rummaging through her backpack, where she had put the things picked up earlier.
As she rummaged, she pulled out a dead man's hand.
Upon seeing the description of this object, Anleisi's face finally changed.
[Temporary Curse]
[Hand of a dead person cursed to death, can convert into a cursed state, allowing combat with ghosts]
"..."
