Chapter 2002 The Banshee
"Joan, just now you exuded strong negative energy, your face was pale, your hands and feet trembled, as if you were possessed by a ghost, is it okay?" Audrey asked softly, holding the holy sword.
This time, Joan was too embarrassed to be brave enough to say "it doesn't matter", and cast a grateful glance at Miss Paladin.
"It's a good thing you drew your sword in time, otherwise I'm afraid I'd be insane."
"What 'insanity'?"
Holden and Hailaer noticed that Joan's expression was abnormal, so they hurried over to ask.
Joan first issued a mental command to urgently summon the swarm to return, and told them not to get close to the terrifying female ghost, and then told her companions about the thrilling scene just now.
"The stone pagoda on the island in the middle of the lake should be a tomb or a place of seal for an ancient undead. The noise we made by the lake just now was too great. It disturbed the female ghost sleeping in the stone pagoda, and she came out to trouble us in person."
"The ghosts in the stone tower are all transformed by the explorers who were killed by the female ghost, and they are equivalent to slaves under her control."
"Just now I tried to use a spell to detect the details of the female ghost, but I didn't expect to arouse her alertness. The moment I looked up and looked at me, I used a 'crazy stare'."
"'Mad gaze' is a very terrifying supernatural mental attack. As long as you are stared at by this gaze, even if you have super willpower, you will tremble with fear. Disordered, immediately turned into a lunatic without reason."
"I see." Audrey nodded thoughtfully, "The so-called 'insanity' is actually a permanent 'confusion' symptom, which cannot be cured by ordinary medical methods, including most of the magic arts. This negative state can only be removed by high-level divine spells such as 'advanced restoration', 'healing' or even 'miracle'."
After a slight pause, Audrey sighed with lingering fear: "Fortunately, Joann didn't get hit just now, otherwise we wouldn't even have the chance to think about how to heal him. The first thing we have to worry about is that we will be killed by the crazy Joann!"
"Joan, the female ghost you mentioned is so perverted, what kind of monster is she?" Hailaer asked in surprise.
"I'm afraid it's the 'banshee' that Messinger and Frodi once mentioned." Joan thought for a while, and then corrected: "The high-level banshee is only one line away from the legendary banshee."
"If it's really the Banshee, then 'crazy staring' isn't her strongest attack method yet." Audrey warned her companions with a serious face, "In the next battle, we may all die here, while there is still time, Everyone must make a decision—whether muster the courage to face the Banshee, or be smarter and escape from this place as soon as possible."
"Tell me first, besides 'Crazy Gaze', what more powerful moves does the Banshee have?"
His father's bones and relics have not been found yet, and Hailar is obviously unwilling to give up halfway.
"There is a famous 9th-level necromancy spell called 'Howl of the Banshee'. In fact, this spell is named after the 'Banshee'."
"The banshee's howl is her most terrifying weapon. Anyone who hears this terrifying sound, unless they are extremely strong and blessed with some good luck, will be killed the moment the howl hits their ears!"
"In addition, the Banshee can also absorb life force by touching living things like a ghost, and at the same time cause necrosis damage to the victim, but the lethality is much greater than that of a ghost. The soul of the victim who is sucked dry by her cannot be freed. will be transformed into servants of her ghost."
Hearing what Audrey said, Hailaer's face turned pale, but he didn't lose his courage. He thought about it and asked: "Since the 'Death Barrier' can resist all spells and supernatural abilities that use negative energy, can it also be used to Block the howls and touches of the Banshee?"
"Theoretically, it is possible." Audrey answered truthfully.
"I remember that Joan used a protective spell invented by himself to block the sea hag's 'Evil Eye Curse'. Could this spell also be used to restrain the Banshee's 'crazy gaze'?" Hailar continued to ask.
Joan met the eyes of the three friends and said solemnly: "My answer is the same as Audrey's—I haven't tried it, but it is theoretically possible."
"Theoretically, it is possible, that is, we are almost inseparable. Why are we running away? We are just waiting here for the Banshee to come to our door by herself. If we work together to kill her, it will be over!" Holden said with a smile.
"The analysis we made is entirely based on conjecture. Apart from the abilities mentioned just now, the banshee on the lake probably has other tricks that we don't know yet. If we choose to confront her head-on, God knows what will happen next. What's up!"
Audrey's mentality is far less optimistic than that of her younger brother.
Joan didn't make a sound, but in terms of his true inner thoughts, he was even more pessimistic than Audrey.
"Wares Monster Illustrated Handbook" (Undead Subvolume) and the literature of the Cloudsdale Great Library have related records of the banshee, and the listed attribute data are not as exaggerated as the banshee he saw on the lake. From this, it can be concluded that the banshee on the lake is an evolutionary species of this type of undead, a high-level existence, then she must be more difficult to deal with than the ordinary banshee, and may even have evolved more and more perverted abilities. The more unknown factors there are, the more uncertain Joan is.
According to Joan's usual personality, he will not easily reveal things that cannot be determined to others, but there is one thing that he must make clear before his companion makes a final decision.
"The Banshee can't be killed. I hope everyone knows about it."
"What? Joan, what does 'unkillable' mean?" Holden looked over in confusion, "Even trolls who claim to have infinite regeneration ability can be completely killed by targeted means. How could there be such a thing in the world?" An unkillable monster?"
"The immortal body of the Banshee is not the same as the 'regeneration' physique of the troll." Joan patiently explained the horror of the Banshee to his companion.
"Every mourning banshee has suffered unimaginable ravages and tortures during her lifetime, and faced death with great resentment and pain. Although her body was destroyed, she was full of grief and anger but could not calm down. After death, her soul turned into a mourner girl. No matter how many times the demon is destroyed, as long as her resentment is still there, her soul will never die, and she will crawl out of the grave after a while, chasing down her enemies and all creatures that come into her sight."
"If we are lucky enough, we might be able to eliminate the Banshee here once, so what will happen afterwards? As long as we are still active on Galti Island, the resurrected Banshee will come to chase us down, and it will repeat itself forever. end."
