051 Ghost Array
(In the front row, I would like to thank the boss "I laughed for no reason" for his 10,000.asxs.coin reward. This book has the first helmsman. As a newbie, Little Fat Meow, I am really excited. When I get excited, I think
To add an update, the third update today should be around 8pm.)
"Magic circle?"
For Otto, who is incompetent in magic, this involves his blind spot in knowledge.
Sophia nodded and continued: "Yes, the core of the magic circle is in the center of the battlefield. Because we are far away, we are less affected."
So Otto looked toward the center of the chaotic battlefield, only to find nothing but crazy monsters and flesh and blood.
The little Loli curled her lips and said helplessly: "Big stupid dragon, if you pay more attention, won't it just float in the sky!"
Floating in the sky?
Otto's eyes slowly moved from the center of the battlefield to the Internet, and finally he discovered groups of purple translucent objects above the battlefield on the ground, in the center under the two giant dragons.
These things that suddenly appeared looked very strange, and upon closer inspection, they discovered that they were actually a group of ghosts floating in the air.
As more monsters die, the number of ghosts in the air also increases. Obviously, they can use the surrounding negative energy and souls to proliferate.
A ghost is an undead creature that has no entity and is always full of hatred for life.
They have the skinny torsos and arms of humanoid creatures, their lower bodies are in a state of mist, and they have no gender distinction. They have evil faces that look like skeletons.
In most cases, this disembodied undead creature is completely immune to corruption and poison, and is extremely resistant to most magical and physical attacks.
More importantly, they can recover from injuries by sucking the life energy and soul of living creatures.
At the same time, the combat power of a single entity is about the same as that of two lizard warriors. If the number reaches a large scale, it will be a very difficult opponent.
Because they hate creatures with lives beyond their reach, ghosts have always ruthlessly killed all living creatures around them.
But these ghosts looked a little strange. Not only did they not care about the monsters fighting below, they also mechanically circled around the center of the battlefield.
"do you understand?"
Sophia's voice pulled Otto's thoughts away from the ghost.
"Understand what?"
Otto, who is incompetent in magic, said that he only saw a group of strange and scary-looking ghosts.
Little Loli was too lazy to talk to him anymore and said directly: "Those ghosts are the core of the magic circle. As the number of ghosts increases, the power of the magic circle will also increase."
She paused and continued: "As you can see, the number of living monsters is decreasing, which means that the influence of the magic circle distributed to individual individuals is also increasing."
Now Otto finally understood and tried to ask: "If you put it this way, if time goes on, we will be in danger, right?"
Sophia nodded and confirmed: "Yes, the spell I used only enhanced our resistance to psychic spells, not immunity. When those monsters are almost dead, my spell will be useless."
"After all, it's not an advanced method, so we have two choices now!"
Otto smiled, and then continued: "Either run away as soon as possible, or seize the time to kill those ghosts!"
"That's right! If it's for safety's sake, I recommend leaving here as soon as possible."
Sophia's red eyes were twinkling with starlight, and she could clearly see the surrounding magic feedback.
Looking at the chaotic battlefield and the two giant dragons still fighting each other above, Otto sighed: "To be honest, I really don't want to leave..."
Although it was different from what he had expected before, the ultimate goal was very similar.
These two powerful adult dragons have indeed been hurt by both sides, and are even about to die in each other's hands.
If he could seize the opportunity and devour two adult dragons in a row, I really don't know what kind of improvement it would bring to his strength.
What's more important is that both of them can use magic, especially Cassiopeia's magic level is quite good.
This is an extraordinary temptation for Otto, a dragon beast that is incompetent in magic.
So he really couldn't bring himself to escape from here until the last moment.
Sophia did not ask too much, but analyzed: "Although ghosts are not very strong, they are very difficult to deal with. I think this is why the people who set up the magic circle chose to use ghosts as carriers."
"If the number is very small or there is only a single ghost, there is nothing to say. Just use magic to blast it into pieces. But as you can see, if there are such a large number, my magic power is simply not enough..."
After saying that, the little Loli looked at the densely populated ghosts floating in the sky that were still multiplying.
Then he covered his face and continued helplessly: "And their number is still increasing. When the number reaches a certain level, even if we want to escape, we may not be able to catch up."
More importantly, Otto may not have any good solutions to these ghosts.
Although ghosts are not completely immune to physical attacks, compared with the effects of magic, they are indeed much worse.
Otto's dragon claws and tail can tear the ghost into pieces in an instant, but then the fragments will slowly reunite and return to their original form.
To completely kill a ghost, Otto needs to repeat this action many times in succession, but that will waste a lot of time and energy.
"It would be nice if there was a priest or a paladin or something..."
The natural enemy of undead creatures is always the Holy Light, but priests are very rare no matter where they are, let alone in the deserted wilderness where there are no people.
The little Loli blinked and quickly gave another solution.
"Perhaps we can dispel the dark clouds, or rather the fog, above!"
"Mist?"
Otto looked up at the sky. Unexpectedly, the sunlight had been obscured by a dark fog.
It doesn't look like clouds that can rain in the traditional sense, but a turbid smoke screen.
Ghosts are very afraid of the sun. If they are exposed to the sun, although they will not die directly, it will make them extremely painful and even make them weak and unable to move.
By that time, the core ghosts will be too busy to take care of themselves, and the effectiveness of the magic circle will naturally be greatly reduced.
And compared to floating around in the sky, weak ghosts are obviously easier to deal with, and even the monsters below will be happy to help.
Soon, Otto flapped his wings and flew into the air. The eyes of the two adult dragons that were fighting could no longer accommodate other creatures, so Otto was not hindered by anything when flying over them.
Gathering all his strength, blazing heat brewed in Otto's mouth.
The breath of flames that he exerted with all his strength rushed towards the dark fog in the sky with astonishing power. The fog that covered the entire sky was torn open by the scorching fan-shaped flames, and dazzling sunlight fell from it.
