Chapter 75: Chapter 75 United Combat (Part 1)
Translator: 549690339
The study room was located on the second floor of the Beke Family’s house.
Since it was unsure if there were still ghosts lurking outside the door.
Koslin sawed a hole in the floor of the study, big enough for one person to pass through.
Han Dong and Koslin continued as a team, descending through the hole.
The hole led to a storeroom on the first floor…
Captain Cass and Fiya formed another team. Fiya provided various buffs with Holy Light to maximize Cass’s ‘pollution resistance’. At the same time, Cass could also apply the BUFF ‘Power of the Crusaders’ to himself.
While enhancing his physical attributes, it also increased his willpower, greatly reducing the effects of pollution on the brain.
The first step of the plan was for Cass to confront the ghost lurking in the mansion directly.
During the time Cass bought, all the team members would scatter and surround the ‘ghost’ from different angles, attempting to take it down as quickly as possible.
Although everyone’s weapons were blessed by the ‘King’s Blessing’ applied by Silist and carried the attribute of Holy Light.
But when facing such an evil thing, the one that could inflict the most damage was still the Holy Light Magic cast by Fiya herself… therefore, the core of this plan revolved around Sophia.
Once they were in position, Sophia would start operating at full firepower. While Han Dong and Koslin assisted in the attack, they needed to ensure Sophia’s safety.
Before the action, Sophia also looked worried.
“Cass, be careful! The diary mentioned that during the evil refinement process, a centenary parasol tree was accidentally fused within it, which is why ‘tree branch structures’ appeared on the ghosts.
It may use plant-based abilities, you must be careful!”
“Mmm… We’ve fought a Treant together in the Fate Space. I do have some experience. While I’m busy with the ghost, Fiya, you should quickly get into position with our two teammates.
If there’s any danger, I will do my best to protect you.”
After hearing Cass say this, Fiya’s cheeks turned red.
Her feelings for Cass aren’t merely because he’s handsome or has a different knightly demeanor. It’s because when danger approaches, Cass would always step in front of her.
No matter how dangerous it was, Cass would always be the first to step out.
Regardless of life or death, Cass would always allow his teammates to leave first.
“Huff…
When Fiya jumped down into the storeroom on the first floor.
The sunny smile on Cass’s face immediately disappeared… he quickly shifted to combat mode.
He took a deep breath.
Cass was also a bit nervous, after all, he wasn’t sure what special traits the target he was about to face up to had, and knew nothing about its powers.
“The previous diary’s pollution could crack Koslin’s goggles and deeply contaminate his individual. And what I have to face is a strange existence that fused together five people, with the addition of plant traits.
Knight Silist has gone deep underground and cannot provide support.
If my teammates can’t provide enough firepower, I may die here.
If… I can’t even do this, then in the next high difficulty Fate Space, I won’t get enough ‘benefits’, and will sooner or later be eliminated from the knights.” A fiery cross mark emerged between Cass’s eyebrows.
The nervousness dissipated, and there was no longer any fear in his eyes. Thud! He kicked the study door off its hinges, intentionally making a noise to attract the ghost’s attention.
But… there was nothing outside the door.
All that met Cass’s eyes was a completely ‘restored’ luxury house, without any sign of the ghost’s presence.
[Cross Crusader]possesses strong physical qualities different from others, as well as the ability to handle various weapons. Even after the Talent Tree matures, he can control various elements, attuning their energy to his weapons, or reconstruct his body.
But there’s still a deficiency.
That is, sensing and detecting abilities.
He can only rely on his own perception and physical eye to capture the target. Although he can act as a leader in a squad, he definitely needs a teammate skilled in scouting to assist.
In previous teams, Koslin was in charge of scouting.
As he failed to capture the target the first time, the grim and chilly environment of the mansion, along with the faint cries coming from the corners, caused Cass to unwittingly break out in a cold sweat.
“Where did they go?”
Cass tried slowly walking through the second-floor corridor, on high alert at all times!
Even if someone were to attack from behind at this moment, he could swiftly counterattack.
However, there was a lapse in his defenses – the floor beneath him.
While walking over the wooden corridor, slender plant vines grew out of the cracks in the floor, completely escaping Cass’ perception.
Step!
With his next step, the growth rate of the vine increased dramatically and instantly wrapped around Cass’ legs.
[Immobility]
Not only that, the branches kept on intertwining upwards, binding Cass’ body and arms.
These vines were incredibly resilient, once entangled in bulk, it would be tough to break free through brute force… even the three-star Cross Crusader, Cass, could not achieve it. “Dammit!”
At the same time,
A white curtain slowly descended in front of Cass.
A horrifying woman, half hidden in the white fabric, almost came into contact with Cass.
The experienced Cass promptly closed his eyes to maximumly resist the invading contamination… Meanwhile, Cass feeble wrist was awkwardly feeling for a certain object around his waist.
Of course, the ghost wouldn’t just stand still.
Squeak- Squeak- (The sound of some slimy object growing).
A dreadful object was growing in the woman’s hand.
A soft root-like tentacle, its form was between a plant and a tentacle.
Besides having the traits of a plant, it felt soft and slick overall.
The moment this soft tentacular root made contact with the armor Cass was wearing, wisps of white smoke started to emerge, seemingly corroding the pure silver armor.
Squeak- Squeak-!
The root slowly crawled up the armor, heading straight for Cass’s face; the danger was self-evident.
Once it pried open Cass’ eyelids, it would be all over.
At the critical moment.
The ‘good thing’ hung around Cass’s waist was reached.
“Molotov Cocktail”
A fire bomb made by Koslin.
After having experience battling treants, Cass was clear about one thing, the tree-related evil things must be ‘afraid of fire’.
The Molotov Cocktail was forcefully thrown out by the wrist.
Upon impact, the internal combustion reactant instantly reacted, coming in contact with the oxygen in the air and igniting, detonating the glass shell and igniting the internal fuel.
Bang!
Flames ascended.
The front half of Cass was engulfed in flame, which completely burned the plants clinging to Cass’ armor.
“Cross Slash”
The luminous longsword swiftly struck, at the same time, a spin kick aimed at the ‘ghost’s’ abdomen followed.
This kick directly sent the burning ghost flying out.
At the same time,
Koslin, who had just set up his gun at a distance, locked onto the ghost’s body and fired three consecutive shots.
The silver bullets, possessing the property of holy light, precisely pierced through the ghost’s fatal areas..
