Chapter 183 020: Fighting with the Ghost Army
This kind of protective spell is not uncommon. It was the same in the ruins of the Potion Sage that Luo Xi explored before. In terms of energy coefficient, the ruins of the Potion Sage were actually much stronger than the soul guards here.
"The energy intensity isn't that great. The Dullahan just now should be at the knight level, but there are quite a few of them. And there seems to be a spellcaster on the painting. I wonder what level he is at?"
Considering that the knight-level skeleton was destroyed into pieces before, there must be at least a wizard-level ghost on it.
In other words, it is actually equivalent to stationing an army there, including knights, soldiers, and spellcasters. Using such an army to guard the library shows how much importance the Shadow Tower attaches to this place.
"So, how do we get up there?"
He did not take out other alchemical puppets or undead servants to test. The opponent above was at the soul level, and his existing servants could not handle it. He had to do it himself.
It is still very difficult to deal with such a large army of ghosts. The last time he was able to escape unscathed from the Potion Sage's manor was mainly due to Nilu's advantage. The hellhound with the strength of a high-level wizard was able to crush everything with his hard power.
Now that Nilu is not around, if he has to rely on himself to fight these ghosts, even if their strength is far less than that of the last manor, it will not be easy to deal with them.
“Let’s get ready first.”
He had to go up, to the wizard-level library. He had finally come here. If he didn't take a look at the paintings and knowledge inside, Luo Xi would never forgive himself.
After thinking about it, Luo Xi took out the space gem and quickly set up a space anchor point in the hall. When he encountered a problem that he could not deal with and got into trouble, he could quickly teleport down through the space gem.
These ghosts are obviously trapped in the corridor above by the magic circle. They cannot leave the corridor at will. When they encounter danger, they can escape danger by leaving the corridor.
"Wish me good luck!"
Finally, he took out the Grim Reaper's scythe and held it in his hand. He took a deep breath and walked up the spiral staircase.
One step. Two steps Ten steps Soon, the end of the stairs appeared before his eyes again, and Luo Xi stepped onto the corridor above again.
The same feeling of distortion came again, and this time because I came here in person, the distortion was even more obvious. The short corridor visible to the naked eye instantly stretched to hundreds or thousands of meters.
Waves of strange and loud laughter rang in my ears at the same time.
"Hahaha! Here comes another one! Here comes another one!"
"Eh? Why does this taste so familiar? It seems to be the one that was just chopped off!"
"Idiot, they are obviously the same person!"
"Cut it off! Cut it off!"
The oil paintings laughed at Luo Xi loudly and prepared to attack him in a show of force.
"Foolish invader, taste Konrad's cross sword!"
A warhorse neighed, and it was still the headless knight from before. It was the oil painting hanging on the outermost side, and it seemed to be attacking in this order.
"Da Da! Da Da!"
Amid the rhythmic sound of horse hooves, the headless knight rushed out of the painting on his warhorse and raised his cross sword to slash at Luo Xi.
Luo Xi, who was well prepared, dodged the charge of the Headless Knight by turning sideways, and at the same time raised the Grim Reaper's scythe in his hand and slashed at the Headless Knight.
A layer of faint blue soul flame burned on the huge blood-red sickle, and the interweaving of red and blue looked particularly strange.
Unlike the previous time when no matter how he attacked, it was useless. This time, Luo Xi's sickle hit the headless knight hard. The sickle under the blue flame instantly split the headless knight in half and burned quickly.
"ah!!!"
A shrill scream was heard, and the head held by the Headless Knight was twisted and deformed, wailing in pain.
The paintings on the wall all changed color and stopped smiling, instead they started cursing.
"Damn it, what did you do!"
"You damn intruder, how dare you attack Conrad!"
"Kill him!"
It was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves, and the ghosts in the corridor suddenly became excited.
They cursed angrily and rushed out of the oil painting one after another. In an instant, they assembled an army in the corridor and rushed towards Luo Xi with murderous intent, as if they wanted to chop him into meat sauce.
The farmer raised his pitchfork, the blacksmith raised his hammer, the pirate took out his sickle, and the wizard raised his wand, and like a tide, they swarmed towards Luo Xi.
Faced with the oncoming attack, Luo Xi did not panic at all. He calmly waved the Grim Reaper's scythe in his hand to fight back.
The dark blue flame burning on the sickle is the soul flame, which can effectively attack these soul bodies. Every time the sickle is swung, one or even several soul bodies will fall under his sickle.
In the face of Luo Xi's 36% soul refinement, ordinary soul bodies simply cannot resist.
For a moment, he was like a real god of death, shuttling among the army of ghosts, calmly wielding his scythe and reaping souls.
Ordinary blacksmiths, farmers, noble ladies, etc. were the first to be killed. These were relatively weak souls who could not withstand a single blow from the sickle. They had no defense at all and were all annihilated by the sickle's soul flame.
After these are finished, it will be the turn of the ordinary soldiers. These are the largest in number, probably hundreds of them.
They are stronger than those farmers, but their strength is very limited. Basically, they can take one down in two or three hits.
After the soldiers come the knights. There are more than a dozen knights like the Headless Knight here, and their strength ranges from beginner to advanced knights.
If he faced real knights in the secular world, Luo Xi could easily deal with them even if their number was ten times greater. However, these ghost knights here were more difficult to deal with. After all, Luo Xi lacked any effective offensive spells to deal with them, and could only chop them down one by one with his sickle.
In addition to the knights, there are also spellcasters. These spellcasters release some mental spells, similar to the soul blow caused by screaming in the previous commissioner, which is very troublesome.
Fortunately, there are not many spellcasters here, and they are all only apprentices, so the impact they have on Luo Xi is relatively limited.
He just held the Grim Reaper's scythe and swung it left and right, killing people all the way!
Luo Xi fought his way through the densely packed corridor purely by brute force.
If it were a real battlefield, both sides would surely be filled with broken corpses, and the pungent smell of blood would be enough to make people pass out. Fortunately, since everyone here is a soul, there would not be this problem.
The battle lasted for more than twenty minutes, and Luo Xi finally killed the last soul.
The originally noisy corridor suddenly regained its tranquility.
At the same time, Luo Xi discovered that the corridor that had been twisted and lengthened had returned to its original appearance without anyone noticing. The oil paintings on the wall were still hanging there, but they had become ordinary paintings, and the figures in them could not move or speak.
It was as if everything before was just an illusion, there was no ghost army and no fighting at all.
“What a wonderful magic.”
With a sigh in his heart, Luo Xi came to the end of the corridor and stepped into the library at the end. (End of this chapter)
