Chapter 20: Boundless Love is Like This
The top of the Thousand Chance Umbrella cracked open, and a milky white crystal lit up.
Priest skill: Holy Purification.
A gentle, yet sulfuric acid-like, holy light instantly illuminated the entire corridor.
what--!
Those ghostly maids who were just moments ago looking ferocious now let out shrill screams under the holy light, billowing black smoke rising from their bodies, their health bars dropping like water.
"Finish him off!" Su Ming shouted.
Lin Xi immediately seized the opportunity, flashing sword energy in the void, and easily reaped the wounded ghost.
The battle is over.
Lin Xi sheathed her sword and looked at Su Ming with a complicated expression:
"Your skill set is really diverse. You even know the priest's advanced purification?"
Su Ming blew away non-existent dust from the tip of the umbrella:
"It's always good to have more skills. Let's go, there's something even more fun waiting for us ahead."
In this eerie and terrifying ancient castle, the two's adventure has only just begun.
................
The central garden of the Ghost Castle is a ruin shrouded in the aura of death.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust and the skeletons of unknown creatures.
In the midst of this deathly silence, a sickeningly loud scraping sound shattered the tranquility.
Click click... click click...
That was the sound of rocks colliding with each other.
Dozens of obsidian gargoyles, entirely black with wings on their backs, were crouching on the broken pillars and statue bases.
As level 22 monsters with high defense and high HP, they not only have extremely high physical defense.
Moreover, once in combat, it triggers the petrified skin skill, which is a nightmare for melee classes.
Lin Xi hid behind a huge collapsed wall, her grip on the Void Sword tightening slightly.
"The situation is worse than I imagined."
Lin Xi lowered her voice, her tone revealing an unprecedented solemnity.
"There are at least forty gargoyles here, and they live in groups and hate each other. If you disturb one, it will attract the attack of the rest."
She turned her head and looked at Su Ming beside her, her brows furrowed:
"Su Ming, listen, the terrain here is very unfavorable to me."
"Although my Void Sword Qi can break through defenses, it consumes a huge amount of energy and is simply not enough to cope with this scale of attrition warfare. We need a well-thought-out tactic."
Su Ming leaned against the wall, still holding the Thousand Chance Umbrella in his hand, but his expression was unusually relaxed, even somewhat nonchalant.
He pulled a bag of potato chips from his pocket, took a bite, and the sound was particularly jarring in the silent air.
"Tactics?"
Su Ming swallowed the potato chip and asked lazily.
"What brilliant idea do you have?"
Lin Xi glared at him, clearly displeased with his attitude.
She took a deep breath and quickly analyzed:
"My job is to lure the monsters, using the high mobility of Void Step to guide them in batches into that narrow corridor over there."
"The terrain there is narrow, so they can't swarm in. As a solo player, you should know some ice-type slowing skills or earth-type wall skills, right?"
"You're in charge of controlling the battlefield and dividing it up; we'll wear them down bit by bit. It'll take time, but it's safer."
After speaking, she looked at Su Ming, waiting for his confirmation.
This was the safest solution she could think of.
However, Su Ming shook his head, a look of disdain on his face:
"Grind them to death? Miss, how long would that take? It's getting dark, and I need to get home for dinner."
Lin Xi was speechless with anger:
"Those are forty obsidian gargoyles! You think you can finish this quickly? Unless you're a fifth-tier archmage who can just use a forbidden spell to wipe them out!"
Su Ming's lips curled into a mysterious smile, and he shook a finger:
"No forbidden spells are needed. In this world, there's nothing a party can't solve. If there is, then two parties will do the same."
"A party?" Lin Xi was stunned, completely unable to follow his train of thought.
Su Ming didn't explain, but instead stood up straight, straightened his collar, and looked like a conductor about to take the stage.
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in his hand suddenly emitted a mechanical reassembly sound, and the canopy opened, but it did not transform into any common weapon form.
Instead, it transformed into a disc-shaped structure resembling a radar receiver.
"Just watch, I'll show you what the art of a free spirit is all about."
Su Ming uttered a low shout: "Thousand Manifestations Umbrella Special Form, Illusory Sound."
Immediately afterwards, he took out a large number of bottles and jars from his spatial ring, and the colorful liquids floated in the air under his mental control.
"This is the alchemist's love potion pollen, this is the apothecary's potent hormone extract, and this..."
"Hehe, this is my specially made orc aphrodisiac spray."
Lin Xi's expression changed instantly when she saw those bottles and jars.
Although she didn't know the specific effects, she knew from the name that it wasn't anything legitimate.
"Su Ming! What do you want to do?"
Su Ming ignored her, his hands moving rapidly in a series of hand seals, his fingertips flashing with an eerie pink light.
"Skill Fusion - Ultimate Temptation, Boundless Love Formation!"
boom!
Centered on the Thousand Chance Umbrella, a visible pink mist instantly erupted.
Under Su Ming's precise control, the mist transformed into pink dragons that accurately entered the nostrils and ears of the obsidian gargoyles.
At the same time, the disc at the top of the Thousand Chance Umbrella began to vibrate, emitting a kind of infrasound that was extremely provocative to magical beasts.
This sound wave combines the enchanting songs of bards with the mating signals of animal tamers.
The once deathly quiet courtyard suddenly became restless.
Roar……
The first gargoyle awoke.
But instead of roaring angrily as usual, it let out a... extremely enchanting, extremely seductive moan.
Its scarlet eyes had now turned into eerie heart shapes.
Then, the second, the third... all the gargoyles woke up.
Lin Xi gripped her sword, ready for a desperate fight.
But the next second, what she saw struck her like a thunderbolt, shattering her worldview.
The group of gargoyles that were originally fierce and menacing did not rush towards them.
One of the most robust elite gargoyles stood up unsteadily, its gaze unfocused as it looked at one of its companions beside it.
It extended its sharp claw, enough to crush rocks, yet gently rubbed against its companion's stone face as if caressing a lover's cheek.
roar~
The gargoyle being stroked did not resist; instead, it lowered its head shyly.
Its two wings even shyly covered its face, and its body was still twisting unconsciously.
This is just the beginning.
As the pink mist thickened, the entire square descended into chaos.
Some of the gargoyles huddled together in twos and threes, licking each other's rough stone skin, making smacking sounds.
Some rolled on the ground, striking all sorts of extremely cringe-worthy poses, as if trying to show off their charm to their companions.
Even more outrageous, two gargoyles actually flew into the air, their wings intertwined, and performed an extremely clumsy and greasy ballroom dance.
The air was thick with a nauseating hormonal scent, and the kind of atmosphere that only exists in indescribable places.
"vomit……"
Lin Xi was speechless.
