Chapter 109: Defeat the Ghost General to unlock Level 2.
Zhao Leiguang's unrestrained laughter became the clarion call for the change in the fighting style.
With the "immortality" attribute, the combat logic of everyone in the first squad was completely overturned.
Defense? Positioning? Pulling apart?
It no longer exists.
"Die, all of you!"
Lin Chuxue's scream even drowned out Zhao Leiguang's maniacal laughter. For the first time, she abandoned her aerial advantage, and like a crimson meteor, she landed directly in the center of the ghost soldiers' ranks.
She opened her arms, and the phoenix phantom on her [Sparkling Phoenix Cry] feathered robe looked up and cried out to the sky.
No longer a precisely controlled rain of fire and meteors, but a fire storm that covers the entire field without any distinction!
The crimson-gold [Undying Karmic Fire] erupted from her center, forming a huge fire tornado with a diameter of over fifty meters, instantly engulfing dozens of ghost soldiers.
A ghost soldier's bone claw pierced through the curtain of fire and gripped her back tightly.
Lin Chuxue's figure swayed, and her health bar was instantly emptied.
The next second, in the eerie glow of the "undying" attribute, she was resurrected unharmed, her expression even carrying a hint of morbid excitement.
"Didn't you eat? Push harder!"
She countered with an even more powerful fiery strike, blasting the attacking ghost soldier into a cloud of black ash.
On the other hand, Wen Yue's fighting style also became extremely violent.
She put away the high-explosive grenades she used for precise sniping and took out box after box of metal discs that shimmered with red light from her storage space.
Like a farmer sowing seeds, she casually scattered these interconnected traps everywhere, then raised the World-Destroying Thunder Crossbow and pulled the trigger towards the sky.
Scatter grenades rained down, indiscriminately detonating all the traps on the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The continuous explosions turned the entire area into a sea of fire. She didn't even bother to distinguish friend from foe; her teammates wouldn't die anyway.
Shen Xinglin wielded his spear, abandoning all evasive maneuvers, and immediately activated his charge mode.
He was like a red-hot branding iron, repeatedly piercing through the lines of demon soldiers. With each charge, he left behind a trail of broken black smoke.
Su Yunqing, who was originally the core of the team's treatment, seemed to be... doing nothing at the moment.
She tried to shield Zhao Leiguang, but Zhao Leiguang simply took the hit head-on from the Ghost General's giant axe, then revived and continued charging.
She watched as Lin Chuxue was torn apart by the ghost soldiers and then reborn in the flames, laughing like a madwoman.
Treatment? It seems unnecessary.
Su Yunqing blinked and withdrew the healing glow of Yao Guang's Gift. Her fair fingertips lightly traced patterns in the air, and pale golden runes began to light up beneath her teammates' feet.
[The Power of the Holy Word]!
[Sacred Words, Keen Insight]!
[The Word of God - Perseverance]!
Since we can't die, let's maximize our damage output!
In an instant, the entire hall was transformed into a carnival paradise for the first squad.
The terrifying ghost general, however, became the most pitiful background figure at this moment.
The ghost soldiers it summoned became the health packs for the first squad to refresh the "Undying" buff. Its proud giant axe cleaving became Zhao Leiguang's tool to test his own toughness.
Lu Yan stood at the edge of the battlefield, quietly watching everything unfold.
Watching Zhao Leiguang being struck down time and time again, only to rise again with a maniacal laugh.
Watching Xiao Qianyu abandon all defense and use every flash as the ultimate offensive, her spear moved like a dragon, and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire left one incurable wound after another on the Ghost General's body.
Finding loopholes and exploiting rules is exactly what he excels at.
However, as he watched his teammates unleash their strength and sweat on the battlefield, witnessing the primal, brutal combat where every punch landed and every strike drew blood…
I'm a little... itchy to touch it.
He looked down at his hands.
Since arriving in this world, it seems it has never launched an attack.
Of course, except for hitting teammates on the head with a scepter.
The [Disk of Nothingness] is very powerful, powerful enough to kill gods.
But that's an external thing.
What if one day, the enemy you face has rules that cannot be broken and bugs that cannot be exploited?
One's sense of security cannot ultimately be entirely dependent on the protection of teammates or the strength of external objects.
Perhaps it's time to find myself a path... one where I can fight with my own hands.
He began to calculate rapidly in his mind.
The Aura Master class system does not have any direct offensive talents.
However, he possesses knowledge of secret realms and equipment crafting concepts far exceeding those of this era.
Perhaps, it's possible to circumvent the limitations of one's profession.
By crafting special equipment by hand, or by searching for forgotten talents that can grant the user offensive abilities...
Once this idea takes root, it begins to grow wildly.
Just as Lu Yan was deep in thought, the celebration on the battlefield came to an end.
The black aura surrounding the ghost general had become extremely thin, its movements sluggish, and even lifting its giant axe seemed incredibly difficult. The two eerie blue flames in its empty eye sockets flickered uncertainly, as if they might be extinguished at any moment.
"it's over."
Xiao Qianyu's cool voice rang out.
Her figure flickered one last time before the ghost general, dodging its feeble sweep.
The next moment, she appeared above the Ghost General's head, her body hanging upside down, her hands gripping the end of the Crimson Lotus Goddess Spear. Using all the force of her fall, she aimed the spear tip at the Ghost General's crown.
Man and gun became one, like a red thunderbolt piercing the heavens and the earth!
puff!
The Crimson Lotus Goddess Spear pierced through the top of the ghost general's head, exiting through his jaw, pinning his entire head firmly to the ground.
The crimson karmic fire contained within the spear tip exploded with a deafening roar!
"roar……"
The ghost general let out a final, incoherent roar. Its massive body, like a sand sculpture weathered by the elements, turned into black dust inch by inch, starting from its feet, and was scattered by an invisible wind.
A moment later, only a broken giant axe and a mess remained on the spot.
The battle is over.
"Phew... That feels great!" Zhao Leiguang plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, his face full of unbridled pleasure.
Lin Chuxue also deactivated her flame form, leaning weakly against Su Yunqing, still muttering, "It dropped equipment! It dropped equipment! This is an S-rank BOSS, let's see what good stuff it dropped!"
Everyone's gaze instinctively turned to the spot where the ghost general had vanished.
However, it was empty.
There was no golden light shining into the sky, no treasure chests, and not even a single material fragment.
An eerie silence fell over the main hall.
Just as everyone was looking at each other in confusion, thinking they had defeated a fake BOSS, that gentle yet majestic voice once again came from the Nine Dragon Throne.
"good."
The voice of the Emperor of Fengdu was full of praise.
"Breaking the impenetrable barrier with unconventional methods. Your minds are worthy of your strength."
He seemed completely unconcerned about the first team's "cheating" way of passing the level, and even quite admired it.
"But don't be too happy yet."
The figure on the throne slowly rose, the twelve-tasseled crown swaying gently, producing a crisp sound of jade colliding.
"Forceful courage is nothing but the courage of a brute. The real enemy never reveals himself to others."
"The second trial begins now."
Everyone felt dizzy, and then they were forcibly teleported to a maze within the secret realm, but...
My teammates aren't around.
The second stage is clearly not as simple as a direct confrontation.
As soon as Xiao Qianyu recovered and landed, she shouted, "Lu Yan, you guys quickly move closer to us!"
No one answered her. The communication channel only emitted a static noise.
