Chapter 53: 052 Giant Ghost_l
Translator: 549690339
Ghosts indeed have great resistance to most attacks, but that doesn’t mean they’re completely immune.
The monsters, blinded by rage, didn’t care whether the beings next to them were living creatures or undead; as long as they could move and be seen, they shredded everything indiscriminately.
These ghosts that had fallen to the ground were already incredibly weak due to the direct sunlight and were no match for the monsters.
As soon as they hit the ground, they were torn to shreds and then reassembled, only to be torn apart again by the surrounding monsters.
After attempting to reassemble their bodies multiple times, the weak ghosts completely vanished from this world, leaving only a small sprinkling of loosely scattered energy fragments behind.
Otto in the air didn’t pay attention to the ghosts’ situation; his focus was entirely on the fog above.
It could be seen that around the opening created by Flame Breath, the dense black fog was attempting to slowly squeeze together to fill the gap.
Blazing, fan-shaped flames were spat out from Otto’s mouth once again, creating several similar gaps in the sky filled with dark fog.
Under the direct sunlight from multiple sources, more ghosts fell to the ground and were casually torn to shreds by the surrounding monsters.
However, these few gaps were far too small compared to the entire sky, and the number of ghosts was terrifyingly large.
Moreover, the gaps opened by Otto were constantly healing, and his Flame Breath wasn’t infinite — each breath consumed his own energy.
But Otto wasn’t arrogant enough to think he could solve everything by himself. He’d done what he could, and now it was up to Sofia.
When it came to magical troubles, the half-elf child was always very reliable, at least compared to Otto.
Under the protection of a group of ogres, Sofia’s radiant eyes were twinkling with starlight, and magical radiance clung to her body.
With her determined expression under the pale blue transparent magical glow, she held up her old wand, interfering with the operation of the Magic Circle.
Since the number of ghosts hadn’t decreased much, Sofia couldn’t directly destroy this strange Magic Circle.
But if she only targeted a part of it, it became much easier.
For example, the dark fog in the sky that had multiple gaps already broken open by Otto.
Sweat appeared on Sofia’s forehead as she quickly channeled her magic power into the air, communicating with the magic elements above.
Thanks to her efforts, some pale blue magic radiances were hindering the reconsolidation of these gaps.
Soon, these pale blue magic radiances began to devour the dark fog outward, using the gaps as their center.
At the same time, Otto was trying his best to increase the number of gaps, making Sofia’s work easier.
As the number of gaps increased and the openings grew larger, the sunlight shining over the battlefield grew more intense, and the rate at which the ghosts diminished quickened.
If it continued like this, the black fog in the sky would soon be completely dissipated.
Without the support of the ghosts as the core, interfering with or even removing the Magic Circle would become possible.
Seeing that his plan was about to be ruined, the mastermind behind this conspiracy – the Blackhand – finally couldn’t sit still.
Over a dozen ghosts gathered together, and then condensed into a larger, stronger ghost.
He was more muscular and didn’t fear sunlight like ordinary ghosts.
At least, unless he was exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period, it wouldn’t affect his movements too much.
This Giant Ghost looked like an enlarged version of a regular ghost, darker in color and more solid and pure in overall shape.
Without any hesitation, the moment he saw the unusual ghost appear, Otto sent a Flame Breath at him.
If it were an ordinary ghost, it should be burned into shreds instantly under the scorching flames.
Even if it could reassemble its body, it should be difficult to withstand the continuous damage from the Flame Breath.
But this Giant Ghost was clearly much stronger. He stretched out a hand to point at the incoming fan-shaped flames, and a translucent purple light barrier blocked him.
It seemed that Otto’s Flame Breath hit an invisible wall and couldn’t advance.”
However, there was at least some effect, as the translucent purple barrier developed a web of cracks under the force of the flames. When the Flame Breath finally subsided, the barrier shattered into light dust and dissipated in midair.
“It’s a Mana Barrier…”
Otto’s eyes were solemn. He’d seen this spell before. Among the human adventurers who had died at his hands, there were two spellcasters who could use this spell, but their effects weren’t this strong.
Sofia could also use this simple defensive spell, but it would be hard for her to defend against Otto’s Flame Breath with just one barrier.
This Giant Ghost was very powerful. It could use the Mana Barrier so skillfully that it surely knew other more powerful offensive spells.
Just when Otto was readying himself for a fierce battle, the Giant Ghost actually started to speak.
“Silver Dragon, you’re not part of my plan. While I haven’t changed my mind, take your kin and leave this place!”
His voice was hoarse and piercing, in line with an ordinary person’s usual impression of undead creatures.
Otto glanced at the two adult dragons fighting beneath him. Their movements started to slow down, and their bodies were almost devoid of good flesh; some parts even revealed their white bones.
They were running out of dragon blood and clearly couldn’t last much longer.
Although it was unclear why the other party set up this Magic Circle, it was highly likely that their goal was the same as Otto’s — the two adult dragons below.
Otto didn’t want to let go of the prey within his grasp so easily.
Sofia, protected by ogres, was still constantly eroding the black fog. As long as there was enough time, she could gradually crack this Magic Circle. So, Otto tried to ask, “Who are you, exactly?”
He wanted to buy some time, as the Giant Ghost seemed quite difficult to handle.
Apart from the Giant Ghost, other ordinary ghosts continued to carry out their tasks, occasionally causing some ghosts to be weakened by sunlight exposure and fall into the battlefield below.
The Giant Ghost’s voice was arrogant: “Silver Dragon, I am a great existence beyond your comprehension. Don’t try to provoke us. This is your last chance.
Leave this place, or death will be all that awaits you!”
Sofia had clearly noticed something wrong above and once again sped up the erosion and deciphering of the black fog, her delicate face covered in sweat.
“You’ve scared me!”
Otto looked at Sofia struggling below with concern and then asked the Giant Ghost with some confusion, “It’s easy to leave, but how can you guarantee that you won’t target us in the future?”
