Chapter 746: Never Reaching the Truth of Killing the Enemy
"What the hell is going on in Thane Dungeon!"
Forget about strengthening the Black Knight; that kind of powerful elite monster does have the potential to be strengthened.
But what about ghosts!
Why couldn't even the blade's energy harm them? The sharp blade's energy passed through their bodies like a gentle breeze blowing through the hills, without causing a single ripple.
It's as if the two are not in the same dimension.
First it was the zombies and now it’s the ghosts. Do these monsters, which are so low-level that they can’t be any lower, really have the potential to be strengthened?
But I have to say, this is indeed quite unexpected.
"Brother, use magic." Anleisi reminded.
The corners of Caius' mouth twitched, and doubt appeared in his eyes.
Because he had just used it.
Of course, he knew that it was best to use some magical attacks to deal with undead creatures, so the sword energy just now already contained pure attributeless magic power to enhance the lethality.
However, the sword energy with the magic bonus still penetrated the ghost, and the latter's body appeared intact.
No, maybe it wasn't intact, but the damage caused by the attack was too small for me to see?
Caius frowned even deeper, and slashed out a few more times with his sword. This time he didn't use any magic power, it was purely the slashing of the weapon under the amplification of his fighting spirit.
As expected, the attack went straight through the ghost's body, and the blade felt like it was cutting through the air.
"What?"
This scene finally made Caius utter a sound of doubt.
When did low-level undead creatures like ghosts learn the superpower of being immune to physical attacks?
Holy light enveloped his katana, and he dodged the attacks from the ghosts nimbly while quickly unleashing a storm of holy light and sword energy. This was a combat skill that could be considered high-level and lethal.
The attack successfully tore apart the two approaching ghosts!
However, the Holy Light Storm slowly dissipated after tearing the undead into pieces, which was a manifestation of the exhaustion of energy.
"Huh?"
Anna, who had regained consciousness and witnessed this scene, cried out in a voice higher than anyone else's.
A Holy Light combat skill with the lethality of a high-level warrior had run out of energy after slashing two low-level undead creatures? What a joke!
Even with the facts right in front of her, she still couldn't believe it. She would rather believe that it was because Caius was unwell that the power of his fighting skills was reduced.
“Ouch!”
The ghost's howl sounded again, and Anna let out an even more shocked cry.
Because the two ghosts that were torn apart just now appeared again!
No, the being torn apart just now was probably just a visual effect caused by the Holy Light Storm. The real situation was that it didn't attack the opponent at all. Instead, the Holy Light Storm exploded with its maximum power in one breath and used up its energy ahead of time.
Doesn’t this make the ghosts in Sion’s dungeon seem even more outrageous?
"How do we fight this?"
Caius turned around and looked at Anleisi, and both of them understood the emotions in each other's eyes.
The ghosts in the Sen Dungeon seem to be a little different from the ghosts in the general sense of the surface world.
"I see."
Anleisi immediately took out her magic wand. Normally, she would just use the saber as a medium for casting spells. Anyway, her magic power was beyond ordinary people. Now taking out the magic wand showed that she was starting to get serious.
Mysterious bright runes appeared on the chest of each Holy Light Knight, and magic power flew out of their bodies and turned into ribbons of holy light that wrapped around the magic wands.
The magic wand, carrying a huge amount of magic power, pointed at the ghosts rushing towards it. Suddenly, a huge magic circle that was large enough to cover all the monsters flashed, and a torrent of holy light suddenly rose into the sky!
The ghost's body was completely submerged in it, and from the surface it looked like it was completely dead.
However, the next moment, those ghosts covered by the holy light actually broke out of the torrent of holy light and continued to rush towards the crowd with touching professionalism!
The corners of Anleixi's mouth were twitching. How did these ghosts survive!
It was said that magic could attack ghosts. How come this law passed down by our ancestors for hundreds and thousands of years suddenly became invalid?
Without having time to think more, she called out to the Holy Light Knights who had recovered and asked them to retreat. However, even if she didn't call out, the Holy Light Knights who had just witnessed the whole situation would not stand there stupidly and get beaten.
"Everyone, try and see if you can attack these damn monsters!"
So the Holy Light Knights had a head-on conflict with this group of ghosts, which was three times their number. A photo stone floated up from beside Anna to record the scene that would happen next.
Someone, holding a large shield made of holy light, slammed into the ghost fiercely, but passed through the ghost's transparent body and rushed to the bottom of the lake. It seemed as if the ghost had no collision volume.
Some people forced out their fighting spirit and performed one fighting skill after another that looked like magic, but these skills all "penetrated" the ghosts and they were still unable to attack.
As for magic, all kinds of magic are already shining. Although the Holy Light Knights are proficient in Holy Light magic, they have more or less dabbled in magic of other attributes.
Attack magic is ineffective, binding magic is ineffective, defense magic is ineffective, and illusion magic is partially effective.
Only some illusion magic that relies on physical changes in the scene can interfere with the ghost's perception of the Holy Light Knights, but this is not a surefire way, because the ghost also has the ability to pass through walls.
The attacks of the crowd were ineffective against the ghosts, but the ghosts were able to attack others. Even if they just extended their nails to cut, they became extremely threatening because of their numbers.
".retreat!"
Anleixi bit her lip, not understanding when the ghost had turned into such an unsolvable monster, so she had no choice but to retreat with everyone.
However, the consequences of the terrain change became apparent. As they ran, they realized that the road in front of them did not lead back to the Firelink Shrine, but actually led deeper into the ruins of Anor Londo. The accumulated water was above their ankles!
"What the hell is going on? You two brave warriors can't do anything about it!" Anna, who was at the end of the retreating team due to her poor physical fitness, shouted loudly. The ghost's palm was almost touching his shoulder.
"There must be a way, but I can't think of it now!" An Leixi responded.
"What's the difference between you saying nothing!?"
Caius waved his hand and cut a crack on the ground. The ghost following the crowd accidentally fell into it, but floated up again after a while and continued to chase.
The deeper the Holy Light Knights ran, the more ghosts they encountered, and the map of the depths of the ruins of Anor Londo became narrower and narrower. Along with the narrowness, the human evil of Gong Qiying also appeared.
Wooden boards that break randomly at any time, deep water that can drown people, and traps that look like deep water but are actually transparent slimes.
The various terrain conditions did not allow the Holy Light Knights to continue running like headless flies. They had to concentrate and carefully examine the scene in front of them, which undoubtedly added to the burden of the already difficult retreat.
The number of ghosts chasing them has reached a terrifying number, and the prize pool is still accumulating.
"What should I do? Hey!"
At this time, the enemy other than the ghost finally surfaced, blocking the way for everyone like a master without saying a word. This guy looked very familiar.
It's a [Soul-sucking Ghost].
