Chapter 157 Blood-Red Eye Orb, Invasion!
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard in the dessert shop, followed by exclamations from everyone.
Leon retracted his smoking fist and pulled Malu out of the dessert shop. Before leaving, he threw a few silver coins at Berto who was lying on the ground, both as payment for the lemon cake and as compensation for the attack.
After he walked away, passers-by came up to check on Berto's injuries.
His nose was a little crooked and there was a big swelling on his face, which made him look miserable, but he was not seriously injured. Leon controlled the strength well.
"Are you okay?" someone asked.
"." Berto was silent for a moment, not caring about his injuries, but asked back: "Did I look unfriendly just now?"
Passersby looked at Berto. To be fair, what he said just now was a normal challenge, without any insults or anything. He was considered to have high quality among adventurers.
But, this guy is really bad at reading the atmosphere, and he also looks a bit...
Dead fish eyes, a high nose bridge, a crooked smile, a pointy head, and a shrill voice, no matter what he says, it makes people feel that he deserves a beating.
Berto was born with a face that easily attracted hatred, and he was beaten many times since he was a child because of his appearance.
"Oh, forget it, I have to wear a mask when I go out next time," he sighed, slowly getting up from the ground. "Anyway, I've brought the message, the rest is up to the captain."
With his hands in his pockets, he left the dessert shop in a casual manner, wandered around Bed City, and finally walked into the largest clock tower in the city.
Climbing up the ladder, the large empty house at the top overlooking the entire city is where their new strategy team gathers every day.
"I still don't understand why the captain insisted on choosing this place. It's too hard to climb up, and it's pitch dark." He said to himself.
"Because this is the most elegant place. Have you forgotten what the captain said? No matter what you do, you must be elegant."
A small figure emerged from the darkness and said teasingly.
She was a petite girl who looked like Malu, but compared to Malu's purity, her eyes and makeup were full of charm.
"Mira? Why are you alone? Where's the captain?"
"look up."
"No way, again?"
Berto raised his head helplessly, and saw a person wrapped tightly in a black robe squatting on top of a huge brass chandelier in the darkness, like a human-shaped bat.
The moonlight shone in through the narrow window, but it only dispelled the darkness a little and illuminated a corner of the captain's black robe.
The moment her eyes met Berto's, she whispered in a magnetic voice:
"I am the darkness, I am the judgment, I am—"
“Crack, crack.”
The chandelier was a little loose and seemed about to fall down.
This pirated Batman quickly jumped down, but when he landed he didn't forget to add a sentence
"I am Black Bat!"
"Pa pa pa"
There was sparse applause at the scene, and she bowed in return, as elegant as a noble.
It seems like there is some serious illness.
"Black Bat" Luluwo, a silver-level adventurer, is said to have some bat orc blood, so she likes darkness.
She was applying for promotion to gold level, but there were no "significant achievements" to show off on her resume, so she turned her attention to the strategy team.
"Captain, I have completed the task you asked me to do!"
Before Luluwo could speak, Berto interrupted her. He knew that his captain's words were as torturous as high-speed divine chanting.
"Oh? How did Sir Leon respond?"
Berto pointed to his swollen face, the answer was self-evident.
"Hahaha, he's worthy of being her. I like his personality." Luluwo jumped onto the pillar next to her. "The stronger the personality, the more sense of accomplishment it will be to conquer someone. I want to enjoy this delicacy bit by bit."
"Don't worry, Berto, I will help you avenge this punch, and I will do it tomorrow."
Berto hesitated and said, "Captain, are we really going to do that?"
"You should address me as 'we'," Luluwo shook her slender fingers and smiled elegantly, "Berto, my friend, you have signed the oath of the soul-sucking ghost. Do you want to regret it now?"
"That's not the case. I just simply think that I may not be able to beat Leon and the others."
"It doesn't matter. I have made many like-minded allies. They will be our most powerful helpers!"
Luluwo clapped her hands, and several figures that looked very powerful walked out of the darkness.
The moment he saw these people, a red, round thing in Berto's arms trembled.
This is the item he obtained after making a vow in front of the soul-sucking ghost altar hidden in the Fran Fortress. Its name is——
[Blood Red Eyes Orb]!
[Use it to invade other people's worlds and plunder their souls! ]
[This is a common behavior of soul-sucking ghosts instigated by the Dark Serpent. The more they pursue souls and humanity, the deeper they fall into the abyss of darkness.]
【Perhaps, this is what humans should really do? 】
The reason why it trembles is because it senses a large number of its own kind.
Everyone here is a signatory to the Soul-sucking Ghost Oath!
There are thirteen in total, and almost all the soul-sucking ghosts in the city have gathered here.
"Everyone!"
Luluwo raised her head and said:
"From now on, it will be up to you to stop Leon. This commission will continue until..."
"We succeeded in taking down Thane!"
————————————
After leaving the dessert shop, Leon returned home, where Drew and the others had been waiting for him.
Drew glanced at Malu and found that her mood seemed to have improved, so he secretly gave Leon a thumbs up.
"Where is the teacher?" Leon looked around but didn't see Gapar, and Dal was gone too.
"The Swordmaster went to find Count Charon. I don't know why, but Dahl said he wanted to go back and feed the wolves."
He yawned. He was exhausted after a day of exploration and even talking was tiring.
"How was it? Did you encounter anything on that road later?" Leon asked.
Drew shook his head and said, "The further we go, the more complicated it becomes. There are forks everywhere and no light at all. I saw a reminder to 'keep the fire light on' and I used the fireball spell the whole time. Unfortunately, I was teleported out not long after I walked."
"What will happen if the fire is put out?" Leon asked with interest. Usually, if a dungeon gives special hints, it often means there is a corresponding mechanism.
"Perhaps the monsters will become violent, or our spirits will become depressed. Anyway, I didn't try."
Leon felt it was a pity, if he were there he would definitely try to put out the fire.
After talking about the dungeon, he told Drew and Tel about Berto and the challenge of the new strategy team.
"They are totally overdoing it," Drew commented after listening.
The new strategy group doesn't need to challenge them at all, because as long as they can be the first to clear the mutated Sen dungeon, they will automatically be awarded the title of strategy group.
No wonder Leon felt that Berto's behavior was a provocation.
As for the new strategy group that was jumping around, everyone reached a unanimous decision after discussion - to accept the challenge and completely defeat them.
The strategy group was Leon's life's work and his initial obsession, especially after his revenge was successful, the strategy group became his only remaining thought.
Without the strategy team, Leon would be like losing his anchor.
No matter it is the new strategy group or any other miscellaneous guys with a reputation, he will defeat them one by one with his strength!
Of course, what he wants to do is not to challenge others, but to be far ahead of these people in terms of strategy progress.
Dungeon exploration is about to speed up!
"Speaking of the dungeon, I just met Stellan, you remember?" Drew said.
"Of course, the first Sun Warrior," Leon nodded. "What happened to her?"
"She said that recently some invaders who called themselves Soul-sucking Ghosts appeared in the Fran Fortress."
Soul-sucking ghost and invader, Leon knew both of these things, but they seemed a little strange when put together.
Isn’t the soul-sucking ghost a monster? Why can it invade other people’s bodies?
"Is it an intruder similar to an avatar?"
"No, those intruders are real people, real people," Drew pointed outside the house, "maybe there are soul-sucking ghosts among the people passing by the door."
Facing Leon's puzzled look, he continued:
"We only know three things for sure. First, the invaders could be real people, not controlled by the dungeon as we previously speculated."
"Second, the intruder signed the Soul-sucking Ghost Pact, which gave him the ability to invade others. He has no idea where the pact was signed or how to trigger the ability."
"Third, the Soul-sucking Ghost Oath-holder can take away the souls accumulated by others, and vice versa, they can also be plundered by others."
"So, these soul-sucking ghosts that appeared in the Senn dungeon these days are all here to steal other people's souls?" Leon frowned.
This can definitely be called a vicious incident. The invaders not only steal the souls that others have worked hard to accumulate, but also destroy the exploration experience. It's really bad!
"Stella and the other sun warriors have been very busy these days. When I saw her, she had lost a lot of weight."
Drew shook his head. "It seems that if someone were to be invaded in her area, she would be pulled over to fight the invader."
Leon even felt a little sympathetic towards the other party.
"The city lord will probably issue a ban on invasion soon," Leon said, "but unfortunately, it will definitely not be able to ban it."
Stealing the fruits of others' labor is something that is engraved in the genes of evil people and cannot be stopped at all.
He also yawned, took off his equipment, and said, "If I am invaded, I must make those guys pay the price."
The next day, it was not until noon that the strategy team entered the Sen dungeon.
They plan to explore yesterday's scenes again today and improve their strategy.
By the way, in order to resolve Malu's knot, they are going to find the Warrior Pot.
Malu didn't sleep well last night. She woke up in the middle of the night and her tears dropped when she saw the wreath that Xiaohu gave her.
There is still a third path left in the tomb area that has not been explored, and there is also a path behind the Dead Knight's room. If you have time today, you can go and take a look.
But when Leon and his men skillfully dealt with the giants and archers, something unusual happened.
[Invaded by the soul-sucking ghost "Black Dog"! ]
[Invaded by the soul-sucking ghost "Slug"! ]
[Invaded by the soul-sucking ghost "Big Goat"! ]
