Chapter 2001 Crazy Stare
Joan extracted a piece of "mythical power" and performed two expansions on the third-ring "fireball" supermagic, quadrupling the explosion range of the spell, and then using the special ability "advanced energy substitution" of "mythical master", Replace the "fire attribute" with "brilliance attribute", and blast at the group of ghosts that just floated across the lake.
"úré!"
The "Bright Fireball Technique" erupted violently at the location designated by Joan, and the light energy released covered the surrounding 80-foot space, including all ghosts.
Under normal circumstances, ghosts are attacked by magic. Due to the existence of incorporeal characteristics, there is at least half of the chance of being able to dodge without injury.
The "Requiem" played by Holden temporarily suppressed the incorporeal characteristics of the ghosts, causing them to be bombarded by the "Bright Fireball" without exception.
Brilliant magic power doubles the damage to undead creatures. The damage from the original 10 energy level has been increased to 20 energy level. Most of the ghosts are instantly killed. Only a few ghosts on the edge of the explosion zone dodge in time, and the impact is relatively light, and they are not killed on the spot. .
Before the strong light released by the explosion dimmed, Hailaer charged up with the radiant greatsword, and split a wounded ghost into three sections with two swipes. White flames ignited the hazy body, and it turned into a ghost in a blink of an eye. A wisp of smoke and dust, the soul returns to the underworld.
The rest of the injured ghosts gathered around Hyrule, stretched out their pale fingers to touch the lively female swordsman, trying to draw life energy from her body and heal the pain they suffered.
A circle of golden light radiates from Hailaer's body at the right time. It is the "death barrier" that Joan blessed for her just now, which blocks the negative energy contained in the ghost's fingertips from the girl's body.
Hailaer took advantage of the situation and swung his sword to sweep around, cutting off all the three ghosts besieging him.
The last two ghosts were left, and seeing the situation was not good, they turned around and drifted up the lake, trying to escape back to their lair. Audrey quickly chased after her, and raised her shield to activate the "Daylight Art". The light cone emitted by the shield covered the two ghosts, making them fall into a trance, floating on the water and circling in the air, unable to leave the illuminated area.
Audrey held the shield to shine on the ghost, and looked down at the lake. The distance between the ghost and the shore where she was located was no less than twenty feet, which was far beyond the attack range of the long sword. .
Suddenly, Miss Paladin thought of a good way to eliminate ghosts without going into the water, then sheathed her sword, freed her right hand, and held up the holy emblem.
"All glory to my lord Pelor!"
Audrey held up the golden holy emblem and chanted a prayer in praise of "Old Man Sun". Through the holy emblem, a round of golden shock waves containing positive energy of 5 energy levels was guided and spread 30 feet away in an instant.
The two unlucky ghosts floating on the lake were first suppressed by Holden's "Requiem", and then they were injured by Joan's spell, and then Audrey used the "Daylight spell". "weakened to a state of "disability", and finally ushered in the end at this moment--it was wiped out under the sweeping wave of golden positive energy.
As soon as the battle by the lake was over, Joan received the latest information from the giant bee.
"Mother! There are many ghosts appearing from the stone pagoda on the island in the middle of the lake. One of them has a special appearance and the strongest evil spirit..."
"Oh? Let me take a look."
Joan switched his viewing angle to the giant bee that reported to him, overlooking the island in the center of the lake, the negative energy emanating from the stone tower was unprecedentedly strong, and several ghost figures could be faintly seen in the gray mist, and the ghost living in it showed a pale color. The appearance and clothing are more vivid and clear than other ghosts, tall and slender, wearing a snow-white dress, wearing a crown, long hair shawl, gorgeous dress and graceful temperament, just like a queen.
The Queen of Ghosts glides lightly against the surface of the lake. Surrounded by other ghosts, she floats towards the shore of the lake where Joan and the others stop. Wherever she passes, the wind howls, and trails of gray negative energy drag out behind her, like a dream. illusory.
Joan can now be sure that his previous guess was outrageously wrong: the stone tower on the island in the middle of the lake is not the burial place of Hailar's father, but the mausoleum of the Queen of Ghosts.
"He's still so majestic after death, what is the origin of this female ghost?"
Out of curiosity, Qiao An activated the "Advanced Internal Vision Technique" to investigate the Queen of Ghosts condescendingly.
...
Detection target: medium-sized undead creature (incorporeal)
Creature Level: Level 25
Attributes: Strength -, Dexterity 30, Constitution -, Intelligence 16, Wisdom 22, Charisma 28
Special Ability: Undiscovered
...
The attributes of the female ghost are more gorgeous than her attire. Joan was deeply shocked when she first saw it, and then suddenly realized a more serious problem.
This kind of attribute, which is at least "quasi-legendary level", definitely does not belong to ghosts!
From another point of view, Qiao An has already investigated too many ghosts and accumulated sufficient information. If the female ghost is a ghost creature, the investigation report just now should have reflected it, but the fact is that the investigation report did not mention "" The word "ghost" only gives a vague description of "incorporeal undead creature". It can be seen that this female ghost is probably a higher-level incorporeal undead than ghosts... This makes Joan can't help but have some very bad associations.
At the moment when she was lost in thought, the female ghost on the lake seemed to realize that someone had cast a spell on her just now, and suddenly raised her head, her long smoke-like hair spread back, revealing a gorgeous face with exquisite makeup, with sadness in the corners of her eyes and brows, There seemed to be tears in his eyes.
Qiao An inadvertently looked at the female ghost, and was amazed at her beauty at first, and then in the next moment, the female ghost's beautiful face was distorted and deformed, turning into a terrifying and indescribably angry ghost face, and the pupils were completely covered by the fiery soul. The fire is occupied, and the line of sight becomes two pale negative energy beams, which are transmitted along the bridge built by the eyes of both sides!
Joan closed his eyes instinctively and opened the topaz amulet at the same time!
The "Secondary Mind Barrier" was just opened, but was pierced by the female ghost's sight. A mental shock wave that combined extreme fear and madness, like a sharp awl, ruthlessly pierced into Qiao An's mind.
Clang!
There was the sound of Audrey drawing her sword out of its sheath, and the "halo of justice" enveloped her. Joan's nearly collapsed mental defense was supported, and she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't care to open her eyes, so she gave herself an "inside look" first. Surgery" to check the health status.
In the Health column, two new negative effects have been added - "Fear" and "Insanity".
The second after Qiao An checked the status, the "insanity" disappeared quickly, and the "fear" remained, but the degree degraded from "severe" to "slight".
Joan opened his eyes, his heart beating so fast that it almost rushed out of his chest. Looking at his uncontrollably trembling hands, he felt as if he had just circled around the edge of death.
