Ghost Experiment

yesterday.

Han Dong was in Dr. Swollen's office, looking through materials related to the "mother body".

I unexpectedly discovered a bunch of long-abandoned experimental documents, and the information recorded on them seemed quite interesting.

After browsing information about the mother, I opened this file out of curiosity.

Han Dong was immediately drawn to the title "Ghost Experiment" and the keyword "family members".

More than two hundred years ago.

The Grand Lord then plundered tourists, who were then subjected to a dark scene they had never seen before, plunging them into despair.

However, the Grand Lord warmly welcomed outsiders who knew witchcraft, inviting them to learn these supernatural and mysterious spells, and was especially enthusiastic towards witches.

These witches, who have Nordic heritage, often live in harmony with nature and possess attractive figures and appearances.

The Grand Lord forcibly kept them as his harem.

The archives record that the Grand Lord had thirteen women in his harem, all of whom were witches from that era.

As darkness fell, the witches, who already possessed magical abilities, survived and gained even greater power... However, the chosen Grand Lord, due to his own special nature, was still stronger than them and found it difficult to escape from the castle.

To extinguish the witches' desire to escape.

The Grand Lord specifically chose a witch who had no use for him but the strongest rebellious spirit, and burned her alive in the house as a warning to others.

An unexpected situation occurred.

When ordinary servants (pagans) are cleaning up a charred room, they can see the witch from the past wandering in the mirror, which will have a serious mental impact on the servants, and they will die the next day due to the freezing of all their organs.

Afterwards, Dr. Swollen personally took over the investigation and officially launched the "Ghost Experiment".

They attempted to exploit this characteristic of witches to create a special ghost army for the Grand Lord's use.

However, subsequent experiments resulted in the deaths of all the witches in the "Family Quarters".

The Grand Lord immediately terminated the experiment, which severely impacted Dr. Swollen's status.

The experimental procedures and methods have been completely destroyed and cannot be accessed.

"Rare Sound Pollution... Cover your ears!!"

As the cries of babies and the laughter of women echoed between the floors.

Everyone immediately covered their ears.

Lucius simultaneously waved his hand behind him.

Two hands made of blood helped Han Dong and Wen Li cover their ears.

at the same time.

Just as Lucius was slightly distracted, the situation inside the stroller in front of him changed dramatically.

A series of transparent, ethereal tentacles grew rapidly and shot towards Lucius, causing Mental Plane contamination upon contact.

and.

Physical attacks are useless against such spiritual tentacles.

If it were an ordinary Knight-Errant, he would probably panic and wildly swing his weapon... ultimately having the tentacles pierce his forehead, directly corrupting his Consciousness Layer and causing him to fall into depravity.

Lucius, however, remained calm.

The ears are filled with blood, blocking hearing.

bass...

A long sword bearing cryptic inscriptions was drawn from its sheath.

When Lucius gripped the hilt, the cryptic grooves on the blade were filled with blood, and the blade itself was covered with a unique Blood Mist.

"Blood Curse (Blue)" - A high-quality Destiny Weapon.

A perfect match with the main attributes is one of Lucius's greatest weapons.

Whoosh!

The sword swung down.

The Translucent Tentacles broke off, and the remaining roots had no chance to heal before being immediately devoured by the blood curse.

"Die!"

Beneath the helmet, a pair of eyes gleamed red.

"Cross Slash"

Han Dong had seen Cas use the Cross Slash before.

This is one of the most basic attack skills of the Crusaders: a super-fast double slash. Cas once used this move to tear open the chest of an adult Ghoul.

But... the Cross Slash that Lucius used was completely different.

It's like an advanced skill.

When completing the Cross Slash.

A blood-red cross, radiating malevolent energy, formed in the air and instantly passed through the female ghost and the baby carriage.

The sound of weeping echoed down the corridor.

The ghost pushing the stroller was immediately and forcibly annihilated by the Blood Cross!

"So powerful... Is this the pinnacle of strength at the ' Seed Breaking Stage '?"

Han Dong was completely stunned by the Combat Power displayed by Lucius.

It was a wise choice not to provoke conflict directly... Such a small team is enough to confront the Grand Lord -on, and might even be able to win.

Winry, standing to the side, was completely stunned and became even more wary of the Blood Knight.

With his blood-stained sword sheathed, Lucius instructed the Necromancy Apprentice beside him, "Lenze, follow the map they gave you... use your skull to scout the way."

"Good!"

Renze released three skulls burning with Netherflame.

Two of the skulls were lost during the search due to an unknown attack, while the remaining skull successfully reached the study.

"The map itself is fine, it's just that the Spirit Body lingering on this level are difficult to deal with."

Before facing the Grand Lord, Captain, you need to maintain 100% physical strength and condition. Leave this to me.

Lunze rolled up his sleeves.

Between his withered arms were necromancy runes etched into his flesh and bones.

"Lenze... can your stamina keep up?" Lucius seemed to have figured out what move Renze was about to use.

"Don't worry, the study is only a little over a hundred meters away from us... Using this ability for a short time is just a matter of using a mana potion."

That's all.

Renze pressed his forearms together.

When the necromantic runes touched and merged... terrifying necromantic energy transformed into ghostly white flames that burned throughout Lunze's body, and his overall form was changing.

Necromancer Form

Lunze gradually floated up, a powerful energy gathering in his palms, and his eyes, now replaced by two balls of Netherflame, appeared on his gaunt face beneath the hood.

Through the Netherflame, one can detect the movement of Spirit Body in advance.

In the dark passageway, just as a white ghost crawled out of the bedroom... Renze gently raised his hand.

Whoosh!

Immediately, numerous bone spikes rose from the ground, piercing the ghost's body... The surface of the bone spikes was covered with Netherflame, a flame specifically designed to burn Spirit Body.

The scream had barely escaped when it was reduced to ashes by the Netherflame.

In this state, the "Seed Energy" inside Lunze's skull will be consumed more quickly, making it unsuitable for long-term use.

Staring at Renze, who was floating and moving forward in mid-air, with a skull head, a cloak, and burning with Netherflame... I had the feeling of being the Grim Reaper.

Any ghosts that appear will be immediately imprisoned by Lunzer and incinerated with Netherflame.

With death as their guide, the squad sped forward.

Even while traveling at high speed, some ghosts might still launch sneak attacks from behind.

Just as Senior Sister Zhen was using Shadow Kill Technique to fight against these ghosts.

In the blink of an eye.

Han Dong, who was originally at the back of the squad, disappeared without a trace.

When Senior Sister Zhen reported the situation to Lucius, Winry, who was in charge of unlocking the door, was still there, and the map's authenticity had been confirmed, so Lucius didn't bother with it anymore...

If someone insists on courting death, it's none of their business.
