Emperor of Arcane

Before the huge black hand could launch its second attack, the gravel-covered ground suddenly lit up with a more dazzling light. ◆𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞 Search for 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝟓𝟐𝟎𝐜𝐨𝐦Read◆

A purification circle that covers a larger area and has a wider range shrouds the huge space including the purification circle and ghosts.

The ghost, aware of the danger, ignored the attack on the purification barrier and rushed towards the larger barrier outside.

Bang!

There were ripples on the huge purification barrier.

The ghost, wrapped in gray mist, gradually revealed its figure under the golden light.

Under the strange dark purple armor, a terrifying humanoid monster was revealed.

It seemed to have no entity, condensed together by a ball of dark purple energy.

Mist emanates from its body.

I don’t know if it’s part of its body or some kind of special substance.

Every time it moves, it releases more gray mist.

Not only can it block everyone's sight, but it also seems to make the ghost faster.

The golden light emerging from the ground and the barrier, when it encountered the gray fog surrounding it, was like a steel needle that punctured a balloon, immediately piercing through the surrounding area.

The ghost monster hiding in the gray mist was also severely injured by the purifying light, with dense holes pierced all over its body.

Many ghost monsters could not withstand the sudden attack, and exploded with a "bang", turning into gray-black ashes, or turning into pieces of dark and shiny soul crystals.

The sudden change immediately put the frightened Laura at ease.

She stared in disbelief at the ground that was glowing with light.

"When was this purification circle set up?"

"The scale is so large and the effect is so powerful, it is comparable to a legendary magic circle!"

In fact, this legendary purification circle was not created by the staff of the Gulf Territory.

It is an item made by the Bishop of the Goddess Church, "Crazy Dragon" Barrett.

He is not only a legendary priest, but also the maker of legendary sacred items.

Arrange such a legendary purification array.

Normally, one legendary priest is required to pray, lead four extraordinary priests to arrange the ceremony, and direct 12 high-level priests to hold the ceremony.

The whole process takes at least 8 hours.

In addition to the layout materials of more than 800,000 gold coins, a crucial injection of divine grace is also needed.

Divine grace is a very “rare” thing.

Only fanatical believers who are favored and recognized by the gods can accumulate a little bit from chanting and praising every day.

This is also why, for the production of some things, Matthew can only cooperate with the church.

The legendary purification barrier in front of you was made in advance and placed in the storage space for storage.

When ready to use, just take it out and arrange it quickly.

The Church of the Goddess of Magic originally planned to "support" the Gulf Territory for free.

The Gulf Territory naturally understands that “free” things often cost more.

Therefore, they provided 1 million gold coins to the church, and in addition to sweeping away low-level demons at the Bloody Pass, they accumulated a total of 60 million soul fragments in two months.

The former meets church members.

The latter would also please the goddess of magic.

As the understanding of soul fragments continues to deepen, the Gulf Territory has also studied more of its functions.

However, almost all its uses are not as important as "praying for the gods to come".

Especially for the church!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ghost stared with red and twisted eyes, staring at the purification barrier that suddenly glowed after the attack.

It seems to be looking for weaknesses and gaps to rush out of.

Its attack speed is extremely fast, attacking in all directions of the purification barrier, creating a series of rushing ripples.

However, although the ghost's attack speed was fast, it was unable to break through the legendary purification circle deployed by Bay Leader at great cost.

Laura looked at the huge body of the ghost, with deep fear in her eyes. The terrifying destructive power displayed by its movements, she did not have any confidence to block even a single blow.

But what Laura didn’t expect was.

After the ghost was temporarily trapped, the vanguard members of Alice's adventure group, after cleaning up the weak ghost monsters, began to actively attack the ghost.

"Are they crazy?"

As soon as this idea came to Laura's mind, she saw Morak, who was slightly crazy just now, wearing a thick and dazzling Holy Light Armor, rushing out at the lead.

Noticing Morak's figure, the ghost with a little smoke all over his body quickly turned around.

It observed the golden light that was constantly emitting around it, and there seemed to be fire dancing in its eyes.

Its huge body began to gradually shrink, its body gradually became solid, and the green smoke that was burned all over its body was slowly disappearing.

It is no longer more than 10 meters tall like before, but the aura it exudes is getting stronger and stronger, giving people a sense of tension that cannot be looked at directly.

"In order to enhance the body's defense capabilities, the ghost will activate a fighting form that shrinks its body."

"In this case, its attack speed is extremely fast, and it has the ability to instantly appear behind the target and launch an attack."

"In this case, send out the unit with the strongest combat capability and attack it first."

Seeing this scene, Alice recalled the Lord's instructions during the training and winked at Ashes on the side.

The latter grasped the hammer emitting electric light and stared at Morak who rushed forward.

Once the other party is in danger, he will save them as quickly as possible.

Feeling the terrifying aura exuding from the ghost, Morak, who was eager for a fierce battle, shouted without hesitation:

"Come on! Let's fight!"

Facing Morak's provocation, the red-eyed ghost appeared behind him instantly.

The deadly sharp blade was aimed at Morak's vest and pierced hard.

Bang!

The arc exploded, and the thunder shield surrounding Morak's body shattered after a burst of flashes.

The thunder shield with a defense value of 300 was instantly shattered by the ghost's fatal attack.

However, the dark red deadly blade stopped him.

Morak, who was aware of the fatal danger, also sensed this terrifying blow.

Not only did he have no intention of dodging, but he slashed back with his sword without hesitation.

Faced with this powerful and heavy attack, Ghost had no intention of resisting it.

It took two steps back lightly, dodged the heavy sword, skillfully walked around Morak's side, aimed at his waist, and stabbed him without hesitation.

Unable to dodge, Morak roared in panic, activated the surging thunder, and flew towards the ghost that was close at hand.

Feeling the faint "threat" brought by the thunder, the ghost stepped away lightly.

Snap!

The flashing thunder hit the ground, creating a deep pit the size of a washbasin.

Morak, who had his cards taken away in an instant, shouted at the top of his lungs without hesitation:

"Help!"

An ogre actually screams for help?

This is very bay collar!

But the ghost turned a deaf ear to the roar for help. With a perfect afterimage, it went around to the side and back of Morak, aimed at his waist on the other side, and stabbed him hard.

The roaring thunder warhammer spun and flew over.

The ghost, who showed no emotion, dodged easily and was about to attack Morak who turned around.

A galloping figure rushed in front of it at an alarming speed.

The long sword flashing with sharp cold light struck as fast as lightning.

Although the speed was slower than that of the ghost, it could barely keep up with its pace.

Ghost, who was unwilling to confront anyone head-on, jumped back lightly and avoided the attacks of the hammer and sword.

Alice, lingering in the electric light, quickly caught up with the ghost, waving two long swords flashing with cold light.

The rotating hammer flew back again, and Ashes rushed over to grab it.

But he didn't dare to pursue him at all, and he was back to back with Morak who was dripping with cold sweat. He couldn't help but tease him and said:

"Are you scared now? This means that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky..."

Unable to help scratching his neck, Morak couldn't help but swallow his saliva, searching for the two sentences he finally learned, and couldn't help but mutter:

"Ahem, that was just because I was unprepared..."

"Didn't you see that it was always dodging just now? It must be afraid of me!"

Even though he said that, Morak couldn't help but touch his bulging neck, and still felt a chill in his lower back.

Bang!

The terrifying blade and the long sword collided, causing a series of jumping sparks to fly.

Seeing the ghost's retreating steps, Alice, who had been actively attacking, stopped. With a light turn of her left hand, she swung the bright sword backwards.

Ding!

The surging counter-shock force came along the hilt of the sword and entered the glove. Most of it was introduced into the armor, and a small part was offset by the lining armor.

Only a very small and subtle force is transmitted to the wrist, allowing Alice to better understand the direction of the opponent's force.

But Alice also knows that the ghost's state is different from other enemies.

Its movement trajectory and power are completely different from those of flesh and blood creatures, and cannot be measured by common sense.

Therefore, Alice braced herself with all her might and concentrated on sensing the ghost's attack.

The ghost was extremely fast and attacked Alice's rear one after another.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, fearing that Alice wouldn't be able to guard against it and would be stabbed to the core by the ghost.

Fortunately, although Alice's movements were slow, she still withstood the attack of the ghost and persisted tenaciously.

A series of "table tennis pong" collision sounds.

Alice gradually became familiar with the attack patterns of the ghost, and her original nervousness gradually relaxed, and she was able to better resist the attacks launched by the ghost.

The longer it takes, the better it will be for the Gulf Territory.

Bang!

Another swift blow was blocked by Alice with her sword.

The flames in the ghost's eyes became more dazzling, and a surge of smoke emitted from its body.

Under the gaze of all the adventurers, the ghost actually split into three and surrounded Alice.

In each ghost's hand, he "grabbed" a curved and ferocious blade.

The sharp blade slides freely according to its will, as if it is part of its body.

Ghost had a good idea, but he underestimated the adventurers of the Gulf Territory.

The surging thunder and lightning rushed over and enveloped the three ghosts.

In a burst of explosion sound, the two ghosts shattered and turned into an invisible gray mist.

Only the remaining one, covered in green smoke, continued to swing his knife at Alice as if nothing had happened.

Bang!

Alice, who was thinking calmly, raised her sword to hold it, and used her arms to push away the ghost's sharp blade. She quickly adjusted her steps to defend against another attack from the opponent.

During the high-pressure battle just now, Alice's ability to control her body and thunder magic armor rose to another level.

And the emphasis on basic combat skills can't help but be much higher.

Seeing that the attack was fruitless, Ghost looked at the gathered adventurers and couldn't help but raise his head, with terrifying smoke surging all over his body.

Countless ghost monsters crazily emerged from the ghost's body.

Under the purifying light, these ghost monsters are rapidly weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But even so, they can persist for at least three or four minutes, enough to surround the adventurers who rush out.

The faces of the adventurers changed drastically, and they desperately tried to flee backwards, but were surrounded by ghost monsters that emerged.

These ferocious-looking terrifying monsters swarmed forward after letting out silent roars.

Seeing the ghost monsters surrounding them, the adventurers tore open the scroll without hesitation. The dazzling holy light spread quickly and condensed into a thick shield on everyone's body.

Poof!

Snap!

Click!

The ghost monster hit the shield fiercely, and the holy light shield shook, cracked a little, and the light became dimmer.

The adventurers retreated hurriedly. Looking at the spreading gray fog, they couldn't help shouting:

"Be careful of the ghost, it's coming!"

"Run back quickly and don't come out."

"Why did you rush out?"

"Continue preparing the spell scroll!"

"..."

Seeing the chaos among the adventurers, even if the ghost had not fully regained consciousness, he felt that Persimmon should be pinched softly.

It now longs for living souls!

With the surging mist, the ghost suddenly rushed over.

Out of its hunting instinct, it instantly ducked behind an adventurer.

The adventurer didn't notice any danger and was running towards the purification barrier inside.

The deadly terrifying blade was pierced into the adventurer's vest.

Just one cut!

The ghost can directly take away his life, steal his soul, and greedily absorb nutrients!

Just when the ghost was about to succeed, it suddenly found that everything around it fell into a state of stillness.

The terrifying and invisible force has pressed the pause button on time here.

The ghost tried to fight against this force, but found that he could not compete with it.

The remaining sanity began to dissipate quickly, and the killing instinct and madness immediately took over.

A strange gray-purple light emanates tenaciously from the ghost, distorting the surrounding space a little bit, as if trying to clear a path for it to move.

Unfortunately, Ghost's actions are destined to be in vain.

A tall figure appeared behind it.

The slightly flickering golden light continued to pour into the staff in Matthew's hand.

The time stopped with the blessing of divine power suppressed the ghost!

Even if it has become an evil thing, it cannot be treated with common sense.

A strong wind blew from above.

Yaya's huge figure landed on the barrier, passed the test very easily, and nimbly got into the barrier.

Seeing the adventurers surrounded by ghost monsters, Yaya exuded the hidden power of time. Relying on his connection with Matthew, he lightly waved his paw and "brought" all the adventurers and supplies out. .

After leaving the area where time stopped, the adventurers suddenly recovered.

"Ah? Lord Lord and Lord Yaya took action?"

"What just happened?"

"Huh, it should be a time spell. This is really terrifying."

"Ha, this is a good thing. It should be the enemy who is afraid."

"Our mission is completed, we can get at least 5,000 merit points this time!"

"Hey, it was really scary just now..."

"It's really scary. How can there be legendary monsters in the Death Desert?"

"Legendary level? Legendary level is not that strong!"

"Indeed, even if it is a legendary monster, killing us cannot be as simple as killing a chicken. It can do it..."

"..."

The adventurers who had returned to active state were discussing non-stop, and many people turned back to see the legendary purification barrier.

Alice adjusted her breathing and shouted as fast as she could:

"Guys, hurry up and pack your things and get ready for battle again."

"The battle is not over yet, please cooperate to clean up the ghost monsters around."

"We must persist until the follow-up troops arrive, and at the same time protect the battlefield for Lord Lord and Lord Yaya..."

The adventurers who reacted immediately put aside their thoughts and devoted themselves to the next battle.

Right now, these ghost monsters are besieging the purification barrier. They have not noticed them at all. They are just living targets!

Every time you kill one, you will not only get mission rewards, but also loot.

It’s a great time to pick up money!

Matthew didn't pay much attention to the fighting outside.

All his attention was focused on the ghost who was slowly resisting the power of time.

Ghosts are indeed evil beings, and can actually resist the power of time blessed by divine power to a certain extent.

However, Matthew, who has further developed the Candle Dragon bloodline, has a very large reserve of time power, which can be slowly consumed by the ghosts.

Yaya, who sent the adventurers out, did not start taking action immediately.

She checked the complete condition of the legendary purification array, skillfully repaired the defective parts, maintained the stability of the purification array, and replenished it with high-quality energy crystals.

In order to set up this trap, the Gulf Territory has invested millions of gold coins in supplies, so naturally this is not the time to dig and search.

After confirming that the ghost could not escape from here, Yaya focused on cleaning up the gray fog that filled the surrounding area.

She opened her mouth, relaxed her body, and took a deep breath.

Whoops!

The surging flames spread quickly, and the terrifying fire light directly swept away the surrounding area.

On the tiny red crystals, seven or eight soul crystals fell sporadically.

The scorching high temperature radiates light and heat wantonly, burning the surrounding air into ripples.

In the purification barrier, only Matthew, Yaya and Ghost were left.

Matthew slowly stepped away first and landed lightly on the opposite side of the ghost. The gleaming thunder magic armor stirred up flickering arcs of electricity.

He interrupted "Time Stands Still" and released the ghost again.

"Roar……!"

The silent roar spread to the surroundings, and the weird soul impact bypassed Matthew.

"Ding, you are attacked by the legendary spell "Wail of the Banshee", and the spell impact is being determined..."

"Intelligence determination, 18:40..."

"Intelligence judgment failed!"

"Soul judgment, legendary intermediate level: demigod intermediate level..."

"Soul judgment failed!"

"The spell impact determination failed..."

"You are not affected by the negative effects of Banshee's Wail..."

"You have lost a total of 12 health points..."

The ghost that released the "Banshee's Wail" instantly came behind Matthew.

Ding!

With a crisp sound, the sneak attack ghost flew backwards, and his whole body floated into the air.

Matthew, who was wielding his sword, turned around and noticed the ghost swooping down.

Two dark red Mordenkainen swords flew towards the ghost under Matthew's control.

The specter, who was temporarily unable to teleport, faced the speeding sword of Mordenkainen and slashed it down without hesitation.

The moment the terrifying blade collided with Mordenkainen's sword, the latter exploded instantly.

Boom!

The extremely powerful elemental storm instantly enveloped the ghosts who were unable to dodge.

Another Mordenkainen sword pierced into it instantly!

Before Matthew could continue to detonate, extremely subtle spatial fluctuations appeared behind him.

The seemingly unchanged ghost came out and stabbed Matthew in the lower back.

"Why does this guy like to pierce his waist so much?"

Matthew's reaction speed was extremely fast, unlike Alice's nervousness, and he easily withstood the ghost's attack.

The powerful impact force even forced the ghost to retreat.

In the battle between strength and agility, Matthew, who has 35 legendary upper limit attributes, gained an absolute advantage.

His eyes exuded a sharp light, and he was constantly analyzing the many "secrets" of the ghost.

The ghosts, who were surrounded by mist, attacked Matthew one after another, but he blocked them all with ease.

Matthew could clearly "see" the various attributes of the ghost revealed one by one.

ten minutes later.

Matthew obtained all the information about the ghost and also mastered part of the "secret" of this strange evil thing.

Evaluation: A lonely soul carrying countless hopes and unwilling to leave!

The special attribute panel gave Matthew a big surprise.

You know, "evil" is a very special kind of existence.

Their birth is very harsh and full of all kinds of weird and twisted powers.

Even in previous games, players could only accumulate various information collected during battles.

Only through complex calculations and comparisons can the properties of the "evil object" be discovered step by step.

But to deal with this special and terrifying monster, data and information are extremely important.

When players open up wasteland, they usually have to spend a huge amount of money.

Filling it with human life is just a basic operation!

That's still a game. In the more real and dangerous real world, the Gulf Territory can no longer use such "rogue" methods.

Matthew learned about the ghost-Mercury.

Only by spending the minimum cost and resources can we lay out the most targeted and effective trap!

Otherwise, the opponent would not be trapped by the Gulf Territory so easily.

Matthew remembered it very clearly, before breaking the connection between the ghost and the mist.

It can replenish strength and vitality anytime and anywhere, and can carry out large-scale transfer and concealment.

Just finding the ghost's true body is an extremely difficult problem.

The resources spent are second, and the elite manpower that may be lost is the consumption that Matthew and the Gulf Territory cannot bear.

The powerful effect of digital display.

Being able to have an effect on evil objects like ghosts means that most evil objects cannot escape his "sight".

With accurate information, it will be much easier for the Gulf Territory to make targeted preparations.

Various thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind, and he quickly calmed down and devoted himself to the confrontation with the ghost.

Even though the ghost possesses surging life energy and shadow power, it still cannot pose much of a threat to Matthew when almost all attributes are at an absolute disadvantage.

Even the impact of the ghost's shadow power will cause a certain degree of HP loss to Matthew.

However, its attacks were never able to hit the mark, posing a greater threat to Matthew and causing sustained burst damage.

With the ability of self-healing and a powerful constitution of 35 points reaching the legendary upper limit.

It only takes a blink of an eye for Matthew to recover.

Matthew caught the fast break pressure brought by Ghost and continued to adapt to his current body and combat effectiveness.

The improvement of combat effectiveness is not only an increase in numerical values, but also a comprehensive consideration of combat experience and on-the-spot performance.

It's rare to encounter an opponent like Ghost who is "rough-skinned and thick-skinned" and can bring pressure to him.

Matthew naturally has to use it as a whetstone to hone himself!

After realizing that ordinary attacks were almost completely unable to do anything to Matthew, Ghost decisively changed his tactics.

The dark red light all over its body became more and more dazzling, and its aura became more powerful.

Matthew could clearly "see" that the ghost's attributes were constantly improving.

However, Matthew is happy to see the changes that have taken place in Ghost.

The changes that happened to the ghost at this time were just like those deformed monsters Matthew had "seen" before.

By absorbing a large amount of vitality, the body's strength is temporarily strengthened.

Ghosts are not evil creatures of flesh and blood. They can complete such changes by absorbing the power of souls.

But Matthew cut off its connection with the fog and most ghost monsters.

Therefore, the ghost can only consume the energy stored in the body to complete such a forced improvement.

Based on Matthew's research and calculations.

The cost of forced improvement and distortion in battle is a hundred or even a thousand times that of normal training and strengthening!

Ghost can't sustain this kind of consumption for too long, nor can it reach such astonishing heights.

Instead, Matthew became even more excited, just expecting the ghost to bring more pressure to him.

The ghost's strengthening process lasted for two minutes.

Matthew, who was paying attention throughout the whole process, did not choose to take action and watched it complete the strengthening of all attributes by +3.

The ghost, whose body was glowing red, launched another attack on Matthew.

The ghost instantly appeared behind Matthew, flashing a dazzling red light that almost completely enveloped it.

Bang!

The deadly terrifying blade was blocked by the arm guard swung by Matthew, and only a few shining sparks were wiped out.

The powerful impact pushes away ghosts.

However, it changed its trajectory in mid-air, flew to Matthew's side in an instant, and stabbed his waist like an instinct!

Click!

The flashing thunder struck the ghost's body hard.

Its swift movements were followed by a pause, and cracks appeared on the armor.

After just this slight delay, the golden sword gleamed and struck at the ghost's chest with a "swish".

Like a physical body, the ghost suddenly turned into an illusion of nothingness, avoiding the sword's attack in a strange way.

Not only did the ghost not retreat, but he seized the opportunity to get close to Matthew and aimed the deadly terrifying blade at his head.

When the attack is about to approach, the illusory blade turns into a real weapon!

His left hand accurately blocked the terrifying blade, and he blocked the heavy blow with the help of his arm guard.

The flashing thunder jumped up and hit the ghost's chest like a living thing.

The ghost wrapped in lightning continued to attack Matthew as if he was not afraid of death.

boom!

The ghost's entire body flew backwards in an instant.

A jab immediately after blocking not only destroyed the ghost's attack, but also put distance between him and it again.

The violent ghost rushed towards me like a mad dog.

Matthew not only used weapons to fight with it, but also skillfully tried various methods to fight against this ferocious evil thing.

Of course, the reason Matthew was able to withstand it so easily was because he activated the enhanced combat amplification of the Thunder Magic Armor.

The protective ability of the thunder magic armor is extremely good. It can withstand most of the ghost's shadow power, allowing Matthew to withstand the ghost's attack in an extremely tough way.

Hardness cannot last, softness cannot be maintained!

Ghost Yimai's attack would always be interrupted by Matthew's head-on attack.

Matthew's flexible offensive and defensive transitions not only limited the ghost's offensive, but also sustained the opponent's "violent" time.

15 minutes later.

The ghost, whose whole body was dim, habitually ducked behind Matthew.

The big hands that were all over the gaps shot out as fast as lightning and grabbed the ghost's neck.

The surging thunder penetrated it.

The ghost, covered in green smoke, was twisting and struggling crazily.

But before it could break free, a crisp and shocking sound suddenly sounded in the air.

"seal up!"

Five golden chains stretched out from the back of the ghost, binding it before it could react.

It was only then that an old man wearing swordsman's clothing slowly revealed his figure.

And the ghost that was struggling just now has been "taken" into his hands.

On the back of his hand, a dark purple tattoo and ghost shadow slowly spread up his arm.

The ghost-Mercury was captured!
