Despair and Hope

This time, the attack was led by five ghost players: two evil spirits, two demons, and one shadow.

Xiao Yu was gambling, gambling that the other party didn't have the ability to specifically deal with ghosts.

In fact, magic can damage ghosts, but it is not as powerful as divine magic. Therefore, to kill five ghosts, the opponent should have used up a lot of spell slots.

Unless the opponent knows a spell specifically designed to counter ghosts, there's nothing that can be done. However, it's very difficult for mages to learn spells, especially advanced ones, so Xiao Yu still has a sliver of hope.

All five ghosts floated up to the female mage and attacked simultaneously.

The Touch of Negative Energy!

Waves of translucent gray light struck the female mage, but a fluctuation emanated from her body, as if an invisible barrier had blocked all the negative energy.

Xiao Yu thought to himself that it made sense. In this kind of underground dungeon where the Undead gather, how could a spellcaster not prepare magic to deal with ghosts?

This female mage used a level 3 spell called Mental Barrier, which could negate attacks from negative energy.

For at least a minute or two, the five ghosts won't be able to break through the opponent's defenses.

However, this attack was naturally detected.

The female mage first used a level 1 spell— Flash Sink.

With a loud bang, everything around them went bright white, and the figures of the five ghosts were immediately revealed.

"So it was you who were up to no good. Let me teach you a lesson. It's very impolite to follow ladies around."

Level 4 Magic - Astral Plane Projection!

Suddenly, a cheetah appeared before the female mage. The cheetah's entire body shimmered with starlight, as if a constellation of stars had descended to earth. As soon as it was summoned, the cheetah pounced on the ghosts, killing them almost instantly, one by one. In the blink of an eye, all five ghosts were annihilated.

These Astral Plane creatures can directly attack spirits, which gave Xiao Yu a real headache.

Fortunately, Astral Plane creatures only exist for a very short time; in the blink of an eye, the cheetah vanished.

Alright, now it's our turn.

Xiao Yu had previously calculated that two Chain Lightning would require 8 spell slots, while a combination of Astral Plane Projection and Flash Sink require 5 spell slots.

With Summon Monster V and a level 5 spell slot, one spell slot for Magic Missile, and three spell slots for Mental Barrier, the opponent has used up a total of 21 spell slots. They should not have many spell slots left, and may even be running out soon.

This time, only five Undead remained: Xiao Yu, the Sword of the Fallen Angel, the Twilight Hunk, Guiying Wuzong, and Voldemort.

It can be said that the five Undead in front of them are the cream of the crop in this team.

In this attack, Xiao Yu still carried a sliver of hope of killing his opponent.

Five Undead surrounded them from five different directions.

"I said, are you ever going to stop?!" Seeing the Undead reappear, the female mage was clearly angry—or perhaps uneasy, Xiao Yu guessed.

Guiying Wuzong the first to make a move. He suddenly appeared behind the female mage and thrust his Ghost Blade into her Backstab, aiming for her heart.

With a sudden thud, the thrust seemed to have struck an invisible barrier, and was abruptly blocked.

Level 3 spell - Greater Mage Armor!

There are two versions of spell armor: level 1 Mage Armor, which provides a layer of defense equivalent to metal chainmail, and level 3 Advanced Mage Armor, which provides a layer of defense similar to steel plate armor. This stab was immediately blocked.

Although the attack was blocked, the female mage was clearly startled and turned around to Flame Missiles without saying a word.

While the Ghost Assassin can attack enemies in its materialized form, it can also be attacked by enemies.

The Flame Missiles hit him squarely, and with a scream, he vanished in a puff of black smoke.

Voldemort was the second to make a move!

Although mummies are a type of Undead, they differ from ordinary zombies in that they possess ranged attack capabilities.

Curse Entanglement! The bandages in his hands suddenly shot out like two snakes, wrapping around the opponent's body in a flash. Because of the Greater Mage Armor, it was as if they were wrapped around a glass ball, but they were still entangled. Then Voldemort pulled hard, instantly dragging himself in front of the female mage. The female mage had just killed Guiying Wuzong and turned around, clearly startled by the sudden appearance of the mummy.

A single Flame Missiles blasted Voldemort into a fireball.

Flame Missiles! I can do that too! The Sword of the Fallen Angel fired a fireball, but it was clearly smaller Salina's.

Keep it up, she probably doesn't have any spell slots left.

Flame Missiles! Salina retaliated once again.

He was instantly killed upon touching the Sword of the Fallen Angel.

Next up was the Twilight Hunk, who was about to pounce when Salina fired Flame Missiles at his face.

The Twilight Hunk, however, was quite resilient. After all, he was also a vampire slave, a low-level form of vampire with exceptionally strong vitality. Surprisingly, he didn't die this time.

However, another Flame Missiles followed immediately, and that also took down the target.

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Holy crap, how many spell slots does this thing have? With Greater Mage Armor and five Flame Missiles, it must have used 29 spell slots already."

Now only Xiao Yu was left. Xiao Yu glanced at the flesh giant, which was almost kneeling down, and the summoned creature looked like it was about to collapse as well.

That left him to fight Salina one-on-one.

He only has one spell slot, so what spell should he use?

Lesser Divine Punishment! A name suddenly popped up.

Summoning the power of the gods to punish enemies who dare to oppose you sounds like a very powerful spell.

Although I have absolutely no idea what the effect will be, I'll take the gamble.

"Holy gods, grant me your power and punish this enemy before me!" -- Lesser Divine Punishment.

Suddenly, with a crack, the Greater Mage Armor on Salina's body seemed to have been struck by something, and a huge crack appeared in it.

But it was just a crack. Salina sneered and raised her staff. Xiao Yu felt a surge of frustration. It seemed he was doomed today. Should he rush over and make one last desperate attempt? He checked his experience points and suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Then, he leaped into the air and landed on the Fiendish Deinonychus. This creature had fought the Flesh Giant to a standstill and was now lying on the ground panting. Without saying a word, he plunged his sword straight into the heart.

This critically wounded and dying Fiendish Deinonychus was actually stabbed to death.

His experience bar instantly increased by more than 200 points. Just as he had guessed, this summoned creature also had experience points, and it was a level 5 summoned creature, so the experience points were not low. Most importantly, he was alone now, and there was no one to share the experience with. This was enough for him to level up again.

As he was thinking this, he turned around and a Flame Missiles towards him from afar, arriving in front of him in an instant.

With a loud bang, Xiao Yu was blown to death.

Amidst the white light of resurrection, Xiao Yu was resurrected deep within the Den of Evil. As soon as he stood up, he found a group of teammates watching him.

"Damn, Captain, I didn't expect you to be dead too!"

"Ugh, how am I supposed to beat this boss? They're just throwing spell slots around like they're free! I counted, there are at least thirty spell slots! It's impossible to win."

Seeing the cacophony of complaints around him, Xiao Yu smiled slightly.

"Don't despair, there's still a chance."

"What?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, everyone wore an expression of disbelief.

"How do we fight them?" Sword of the Fallen Angel was the first to question. In his opinion, encountering such adventurers was simply bad luck, and the best course of action was to switch to another dungeon.

"Didn't you guys notice that later on, she only used the Flame Missiles spell? Logically, if she still had spell slots, she could have easily killed us with a Chain Lightning, but she used Flame Missiles and fired six shots in total. That was a complete waste."

Therefore, based on my judgment, she probably didn't have any spell slots left at that time, and that Flame Missiles was probably a spell attached to her weapon.

Therefore, she only has 24 spell slots in total, which doesn't mean she has no chance of winning.
