Who designed this underworld dungeon?.

Chapter 746 The Reality of Never Reaching the Enemy
"What on earth is the Sien Dungeon up to?!"

Strengthening the Black Knight is out of the question; those powerful elite monsters do indeed have the potential to be strengthened.

But what about ghosts?!

Why can't even the sword energy harm them? The sharp sword energy passes through their bodies like a gentle breeze on a mountain, without causing the slightest ripple.

It's as if the two are not in the same dimension.

First it was the zombies, and now it's the ghosts. Do these low-level monsters really have the potential to be strengthened?
But it has to be said that this was quite unexpected.

"Brother, use magic," Anlessie reminded him.

Caius's lips twitched, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Because he already used it.

He knew, of course, that the best way to deal with undead creatures was to use some magical attacks, so the sword energy he had just used contained pure, attribute-free magic to enhance its lethality.

However, the sword energy, enhanced by magic, still pierced through the ghost, leaving its body completely unharmed.

No, perhaps it wasn't completely intact, but the damage from the attack was so small that I didn't see it?

Caius frowned even deeper, and with a few more swift "swish" sounds, he unleashed several more slashes. This time, he didn't use any magic; it was purely the amplification of his battle aura that allowed him to strike.

As expected, the attack passed right through the ghost's body, and the blade felt as if it had struck the air.

"what?"

The scene before him finally prompted Caius to voice his doubts.

When did ghosts, low-level undead creatures, learn such an overpowered ability as immunity to physical attacks?
Holy light swirled around his katana as he nimbly dodged the attacks from the ghosts while rapidly unleashing a storm of holy light blade energy—a combat technique of considerable destructive power.

The attack successfully tore apart two approaching ghosts!

However, the Holy Light Storm slowly dissipated after tearing apart the undead, a sign that it had exhausted its energy.

"Eh?"

Upon regaining consciousness and witnessing the scene, Anna spoke in a voice louder than anyone else's.

A holy light combat skill with destructive power comparable to a high-level weapon exhausted its energy after slicing through two low-level undead creatures? Are you kidding me!
Even with the facts right in front of her, she still couldn't believe it, preferring to believe that Caius's combat technique was weakened due to his illness.

"Ow!"

The ghost's howl rang out again, and Anna let out an even more shocked scream.

Because those two torn-up ghosts have reappeared!

No, what was torn apart just now was probably just a visual effect caused by the Holy Light Storm. In reality, it didn't attack the opponent at all. Instead, the Holy Light Storm used up its energy prematurely by unleashing its maximum power.

Doesn't this make the ghosts of the Sien Dungeon even more overpowered?

"How are we supposed to fight this?"

Caius turned and met Anlessie's gaze; both understood the emotions in each other's eyes.

The ghosts in the Sien Dungeon seem to be slightly different from the ghosts in the surface world in the conventional sense.

“I understand.” Anlessie immediately took out her magic wand. Normally, she would use her military knife as a medium for casting spells, since her magical abilities were beyond those of ordinary people. Now, taking out her magic wand showed that she was getting serious.

Mysterious, bright runes emerged from the chest of each Holy Knight, and magic spontaneously flew away from their bodies, transforming into ribbons of holy light that wrapped around their magic wands.

The wand, carrying a massive amount of magic power, was pointed at the charging ghosts. Instantly, a huge magic circle, large enough to cover all the monsters, shone brightly, and a torrent of holy light surged into the sky!

The ghost's body was completely submerged, and it appeared to be completely dead at the moment.

However, the next moment, the ghosts covered in holy light actually broke out of this torrent of holy light and continued to rush towards the crowd with touching dedication!
Anlessie's lips twitched. How did these ghosts survive?!

What happened to the rule that magic can attack ghosts? Why has this ancient law, passed down for hundreds and thousands of years, suddenly failed?
Without time to think further, she called out to the Holy Knights who had recovered and ordered them to retreat. However, even if she hadn't called out, the Holy Knights who had witnessed the entire situation wouldn't have stood there foolishly and taken a beating.

"Everyone, give it a try and see if you can attack these wretched monsters!"

The Knights of Light then clashed head-on with the ghosts, who outnumbered them by more than three times. A recording stone floated up from beside Anna, recording the scene that was about to unfold.

Someone, shielded by a massive shield of holy light, rammed into the ghost, only to pass right through its transparent body and disappear into the lake. It looked as if the ghost had no impact volume.

Some people unleashed their fighting spirit, unleashing one magical combat technique after another. However, these techniques all "clipping through" the ghosts, rendering them unable to attack.

As for magic, all sorts of magic are already shining. Although the Holy Knights are proficient in Holy Light magic, they also have some knowledge of other types of magic.

Offensive magic is ineffective, binding magic is ineffective, defensive magic is ineffective, and illusion magic is partially effective.

Only some illusion magic that relies on physical changes to alter the scene can interfere with the ghosts' perception of the Holy Knights, but this is not foolproof, because the ghosts also have the ability to pass through walls.

The attacks of the group were ineffective against the ghost, but the ghost was able to attack others. Even a simple act of extending its fingernails to cut was extremely threatening due to its sheer number.

".retreat!"

Anlessie bit her lip, not understanding when the ghost had become such an unsolvable monster, and had no choice but to lead everyone to retreat for the time being.

However, the consequences of changing the terrain became apparent. As they ran, they realized that the road in front of them was not leading back to the Firelink Shrine, but was actually leading them deeper into the Lesser Londo ruins, where the water was up to their ankles!

"What on earth is going on?! Can't you two heroes do anything about this?!" Anna, who was at the very back of the retreating group due to her poor physical condition, shouted loudly, the ghost's hand almost touching her shoulder.

“There must be a way, but I can’t think of one right now!” An Leisi replied.

"What's the difference between this and not saying anything at all!?"

Caius swung his hand, slashing the ground and creating a crack. The ghost following closely behind actually fell in, but it floated back up after a short while and continued its relentless pursuit.

The deeper the Holy Knights ventured, the more ghosts they encountered, and the map of the Little Londo Ruins became increasingly narrow, revealing along with the human evil of Gong Qiying.

Planks that break randomly at any time, deep water that can drown people, and traps that look like deep water but are actually transparent slimes.
The various terrain hazards no longer allowed the Holy Knights to continue running around like headless flies. They had to brace themselves and carefully examine the scene before them, which undoubtedly added to the already difficult retreat.

The number of ghosts relentlessly pursuing them has reached a terrifying figure, and the prize pool continues to accumulate.

"What should I do?!"

At this moment, the enemy besides the ghost finally surfaced, silently blocking everyone's path like a master. This guy looked very familiar.

It is a [Soul-Sucking Ghost].
