CHAPTER 163: CHAPTER 65 GHOSTLY SHADOWS

The dark spiritual energy storm gathered in the sky, as the sacred hymns resounded across the battlefield.

Audrey and Yvette activated their group healing skills simultaneously, benefiting both the undead and human armies.

At this moment on the battlefield, the Golden Pansy Clan’s army had already stabilized their formation, beginning to fully engage with the spectral shadows behind them.

Meanwhile, Lin Rui took the opportunity to investigate the ghost shadows.

"Ghost’s Shadows · Energy Illusion."

"Attributes: ??"

"Trait: ??"

"Skill: ??"

Lin Rui’s gaze sharpened, such a strong ghost shadow, is it just an illusion?

System, are you kidding me!

Aren’t illusions supposed to just confuse opponents, how can they have such strong damage capabilities?

These ghost shadows at least possess Tier Two strength, inflicting severe damage on fragile Wet Nurses and low-level troop types.

Suddenly, so many indistinct ghost shadows appeared in the formation, inevitably causing instant chaos.

If it were a one-on-one duel, the soldiers under Lin Rui’s command were clearly stronger than these ghost shadows.

The tricky part is that after these ghost shadows appear, they begin to attack nearby units wildly, ignoring the terrain, and soon form a situation where a group of ghost shadows surrounds and attacks a single soldier.

Even more troublesome is that their attacks carry true damage, regardless of how thick the soldiers’ armor is or how many layers of shields there are, a single slash directly deducts health. If they are hacked repeatedly, even with the knights’ spiritual light shields rising and falling, they can’t withstand it.

Any soldier that dies from the territory is a loss for Lin Rui.

So, Lin Rui had to direct with all his might, ordering Terion, "I’ll reorganize the formation and maintain the soldiers’ status, you lead the Fanatics to attack the dense areas of the ghost shadows and disperse them."

"Yes, my Lord!" Terion roared, releasing the Song of Radiance to the entire army, granting everyone a 10% additional divine damage after receiving healing.

Terion also had great battlefield talent, leading the soldiers under his command to break through left and right, attacking fiercely, only striving to scatter the enemy without aiming to kill.

As long as the ghost shadows can’t form a numerical advantage and become scattered, even the undead can be slaughtered.

The human soldiers’ plight was solved first, all soldiers have scattered to besiege those wandering ghost shadows.

The remaining ghost shadows were mainly in the undead’s ranks, at this time Silver Moon was already wreaking havoc within the formation, the frosty blade light dazzling and glaring.

Eleanor then initiated a wide-ranging berserk assault, punching down fiercely, sweeping across with intense pulses, particularly effective in damaging the fragile ghost shadows.

The territory’s army was extremely strong, after a period of fierce battle, they successfully cleared all the ghost shadows.

Many of the undead’s low-tier troop types fell, but there were no losses among the core troops, and the human troops, under the blessing of Skeleton Sanctity, were particularly resilient, with no one falling.

With various healing skills applied, the entire army soon recovered.

There wasn’t much loot from killing these ghost shadows, but fortunately, the spiritual energy possessed by these energy bodies was substantial, giving the entire army a wave of experience, with many people leveling up.

Stabilizing the situation, Lin Rui finally turned back to see that the Lusen Chamber of Commerce had casually approached.

Director Lu Weite greeted him with delight, shaking Lin Rui’s hand as he said, "Lord Lin Rui, were you waiting for us here? I knew it, with your character, you wouldn’t leave us behind!"

Seeing the caravan’s neat and clean appearance, Lin Rui’s face changed immediately, the hidden monster had not attacked the caravan.

This isn’t a matter of it showing mercy; it intends to keep the Golden Pansy Army, planning to go out, here!

"Move quickly, the monster wants to keep us all here forever!"

Lu Weite’s face instantly showed a look of terror, forever staying here, doesn’t that mean dying here?

As soon as he finished speaking, dense dark blades appeared from the void, trailing pitch-black flames as they shot towards the military formation from all directions.

The black lines resembled a laser net, slicing through the entire space.

"-320"

"-320"

"-320"

A dense barrage of damage flooded the screen, accompanied by a chorus of screams from the ranks.

Yvette’s eyes widened, speaking urgently, "Lord, this is all true damage, as long as you’re touched by a blade, your health is forcibly deducted. Moreover, the blades seem intangible, completely unstoppable, as long as they’re on the flight path, no matter how many people are behind, they’ll all be penetrated."

True damage!

Lin Rui’s brows furrowed, this is the highest tier of damage. It poses a fatal threat to the fragile ones.

No matter how many layers of shields Lin Rui surrounds them with, it has no effect, as long as they’re penetrated by a blade’s trajectory, their health will be forcibly reduced by 320 points.

Remember, when Yvette first joined the territory, she only had 380 life points, being hit by two blades would directly lead to her death.

Even now, she can only withstand four slashes at most.

Yet this entire sky is filled with flying blades, forming a dense formation of blades!

So Lin Rui decisively instructed Lundestadte, "Go and hold Yvette, avoid the blades!"

Lundestadte’s Heroic Spirit Level Trait, Divine Champion, grants a 50% movement speed increase after evading attacks, nearly entering bullet time.

Terion anxiously and furiously shouted, "Lord, evading like this isn’t a solution. Although the flying speed of these blades isn’t fast, being passively hit will eventually deplete our stamina."

Lin Rui swept his gaze around, speaking calmly, "I think I’ve got an idea."

Audrey couldn’t dodge a sharp blade shooting towards her shoulder, instantly pierced through, and a large amount of blood splattered over her chest.
