Lunar God’s Apparition
The flesh-winged horny monster flitted to Mu Yu, diving horns first. Mu Yu ushered soul energy to Shadow Splitter Sword and swung from high to low. To his shock, his sword, which even had Wood Spirit reinforcing it, went straight through, while the horn speared him straight on the chest. It hurt as if he was winded, even went reeling, yet he didn’t bleed.
“Did it just attack my soul?”
Mu Yu could slip and counter until he dropped dead from exhaustion, and he wouldn’t even touch the monster.
“This isn’t a soul but an apparition. Gui Han and it must’ve worked together to cast a skill,” informed Xiaoshuai.
“Good to know, but how do I counter it?”
Mu Yu reactively attempted to launch himself off the monster’s shoulder, passing through and almost puncturing his foot on its horn.
“Kill the cast,” answered Xiaoshuai, sparing no effort to try and zap Gui Han with his sword.
Even though it appeared that the lightning was breaking down the barrier, all it took was a jolt for Gui Han to shake off the lightning. Not even the dragon vine’s dragon breath could put a dent in it.
“Ahaha, how do you expect to hurt me with those flimsy attacks?”
If he’s so mighty, he should be fearless, right? He, instead, chose to flee when I sided with Lu Xiong. That means there has to be some limitation that’s made him reluctant to fight back, realised Mu Yu.
Gui Han performed a hand seal, summoning an orange flesh-winged horny monster to target Xiaoshuai. As per Mu Yu’s case, the monster passed through Xiaoshuai’s sword and speared him.
“Ow!”
“Rodent, you all right?”
Gui Han summoned an orange flesh-winged horny monster to occupy the dragon vine. Luckily for the dragon vine, it applied observational learning and gave the monster the slip.
“Of course I’m fine. I’m tougher than that!” Xiaoshuai snapped.
“What are you shouting at me for?!” snapped the dragon vine, having to dodge tirelessly.
“I don’t like ugly things touching me. Not even phantoms! I’ll teach this ugly not to mess with me!”
Xiaoshuai zoomed over to Gui Han’s barrier, plunging his claws straight through somehow and raked it open. Gui Han hastily summoned ghouls from his ghost banner. Though Xiaoshuai managed to don a lightning armour to zap the ghouls, their ghost qi did knock him back, affording Gui Han time to retreat.
“The monster gradually slowed down and is now taking nothing out of me to evade it after its initial charge. No wonder why Gui Han avoided fighting us!” Mu Yu stated.
Even though Mu Yu was right, each successive summon was stronger and faster than the last; he barely evaded the Body Synthesis Realm monsters. If they crashed into him, he’d be incapacitated.
Mu Yu hid inside Wood Spirit to avoid a lethal strike; however, the impact still rocked him. Once he emerged, they stopped attacking and hubristically stared at him.
Since Gui Han lost his barrier, Mu Yu was able to see the transparent ball in Gui Han’s hand that provided a view of the prison on the thirty-ninth floor, though he had yet to work out its operating system.
“Hehe, it’s such a pity I can’t kill in this shadow state,” commented a blue monster.
“Our goal isn’t to run amok in Fiend-Sealing Pagoda. Oi, Ghost Slave, find a way to get us out already!” ordered a purple monster.
“Your Lordship, he refuses to let me leave,” replied Gui Han.
“I’ll grant him his wish,” announced a green monster.
“Even freaks from loos are copying lines now?” Mu Yu mocked.
“Did you really think there are only seven of us? We can still kill if we hit vitals and borrow corpses’ to live,” conveyed the purple monster, licking its paper-thin lips.
“I’m calling it now: his body is mine. We should be able to use it to stall, kikiki,” asserted the blue monster.
“Gui Han, let me borrow your body to kill him,” demanded the purple demon.
“B-but that means I w-”
“You should be honoured I have chosen you, hihihi.”
“Y-Your Lordship, I am tasked with leading you out. We have set up everything else for you. Once you get out, you c-”
“But you can’t beat him,” disputed the purple monster, diving into Gui Han’s body.
“N-Nooo!”
Gui Han became a purple silhouette as the purple monster took over his body.
“This body isn’t half bad; I like the prominent yin qi.”
Gui Han warmed up his necks and tested out his body. Most strangely, there was a holy aura about him!
“A Ghost Slave should always be prepared to sacrifice his body for his master,” uttered Gui Han in a screechy voice, training his purple eyes on mu Yu.
The risk of the skill Gui Han utilised was being ready to sacrifice one’s body on demand!
