Capítulo 36: The Death of the Stone Ghosts
How could Mike not have expected it.
As an elite member of the Griffin Adventure Troupe himself.
There would be a day when he would have to face such a dilemma.
The previous magic ritual had consumed most of his mental energy.
Frontal combat was by no means the forte of a magician.
Of course, ... that long-legged woman across the street had to be excluded.
"O darkness that wanders beneath the abyss, heed my call ..."
Mike chanted the incantation under his breath, but a sudden tingling pain came to his brain.
This was a reflection of excessive mental energy consumption.
With a sideways glance at Hussein, who still hadn't awakened.
Mike gritted his teeth and forced himself to endure the stabbing pain in his brain.
Chanting the incantation onward.
"O darkness that wanders under the abyss, heed my call, I will use my spiritual power as a sacrifice, please blind the enemy's mind ... Chaos Art!"
With the last ounce of spiritual energy extracted, Mike's body went limp at once.
Under the effect of this high-level magic.
Even Nicolette, who was also a Superior Magus, suffered from a misplaced sense of realization, and her eyes became slightly confused.
The intention to attack naturally disintegrated.
"Alright, this should be able to delay until the Vice Leader awakens and returns, my mission is accomplished ..."
Mike's mind just flooded with this thought.
He saw the burly Galen, who was completely unaffected, rushing towards himself in large strides.
Galen probed his hand and grabbed, five fingers as firm as steel pincers, strangling Mike's neck.
With his feet off the ground, Mike only felt his breath become short and his face turned red.
"Surrender yourself, if you don't want to get hurt." Galen gave the option.
His attack likewise did not trigger the prop's passive defense.
It was because Mike's spiritual energy, was nearly depleted.
Just like Flan at the time, it was impossible to maintain the unfolding of the magic barrier.
Breathing harder and harder, Mike wanted to give up.
But the deputy chief had not yet awakened.
If they gave up at this moment, their squad would be directly judged negative by the magic crystal.
Holding on a little longer, how could they not delay until the deputy head woke up!
At this moment, a clattering sound of stones resounded not far away.
Along with this movement came Hussein's textured voice.
"Well done Mike, I'll take it from here."
Mike's heartstrings snapped as the depletion of his mental energy finally caused him to slip into unconsciousness.
The magic crystal spilled a beam of light, teleporting him out of the game.
Galen turned his eyes to Hussein who had changed his image drastically.
Only this Griffon Vice-Captain was seen to have ink-black skin all over his body and a jade-like luster.
Yellow light escaped from within his eyes.
At this moment, he looked more like a stone ghost than a human.
Hussein moved his hard, but not dexterous fingers.
These hands were no longer suitable for fighting with a huge sword.
But he was in no hurry, and seemed to have decided that victory was his.
"I know you all must have a lot of doubts right now."
Hussein said, and his voice became as resonant as the clash of stones.
"What I can tell you is that my current state comes from the latest research result of the Griffin Adventure Group. I have named it Gotham of the Stone Ghost ..."
As the last word was spat out, Hussein's cheek suddenly lolled.
Instead, he was viciously kicked by the sole of a shoe.
Nicolia struck out!
Being hit by such a kick, Hussein only crooked his neck.
The body that looked like a stone statue did not move half a bit.
"You ..."
Hussein turned his yellow light overflowing eyes and was about to say something.
His chin was hit by another knee strike, interrupting his words in a raw manner.
Suffering from aphasia, Nicolia didn't seem to like listening to other people's nonsense either.
A moment later, fists, legs, elbows and knees were all turned into weapons that Nicolia used to attack.
Faced with the raining blows, Hussein's figure gradually stumbled.
But as the yellow light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Nicolia's melee attacks began to become powerless.
"So much for painless attacks!"
The yellow light in Hussein's eyes was bright to the extreme.
His physical defense was also raised to a new level.
Stiffly resisting Nicolia's punches and kicks, Hussein's arms rose back.
The obsidian-like muscles suddenly swelled in a circle.
Aiming at Nicolia's torso, he blasted out his fist brazenly!
Hussein's punch was old-fashioned to the extreme.
Almost all of Nicolia's possible evasion routes were blocked.
The unavoidable fist landed heavily.
What hit was Galen's shield!
Bang..!
The fists and shields collided, emitting a sound like a loud bell.
Galen did not retreat an inch, and Hussein was also immovable.
Only Galen's shield, which was already severely damaged, once again cracked.
Hussein's yellow eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
Although he expected Galen to be able to receive his own fist.
But he didn't expect that facing himself in his current state, Galen would still be able to make a hard hit without moving half a step.
"Very well, I'd like to see how many more punches you can block!"
Hussein shifted his shoulders behind his back and delivered another punch that went straight to the bridge of Galen's nose.
Galen swung his shield to block.
This time, his zither-shaped shield shattered on the spot.
It was completely damaged by Hussein's violent straight punch!
Hussein, who was in the Gothic Ghost Gothic state, couldn't make a sardonic smile.
But he knew that after the next punch, he would completely destroy the shield guard in front of him.
Just then.
A fist-sized fireball flew from the side.
It exploded with a bang next to Hussein's cheek.
"Uhhh!"
Hussein, who had transformed, let out a low roar of pain for the first time.
He staggered two steps to the side, and a few more inconspicuous cracks appeared on his ink-black cheeks.
Seeing that the attack had worked, Nicolia finally resumed the combat style of a spellcaster.
She waved her wand, instantly sending out fireballs and wind blades, aiming at Hussein's frantic output.
Hussein folded his arms to protect his face.
The yellow light in his eyes suddenly dissipated, and after an interval of a second or so, it switched to a ghostly blue light.
This time, the fireballs and wind blades were no longer able to hurt Hussein, his magic resistance had increased!
On the audience stage, there was already an uproar at this point.
"When did the Griffin Adventure Group, come up with this kind of big killing move?"
"Having both the Stone Ghost's high Physical Defense, and Magic Resistance, and at the same time being able to use their skills freely, how the hell can they fight!"
"Not to mention Galen and the others, even the other two major adventuring groups wouldn't be able to do anything against such a monster, right?"
If one were to say that the combination magic of the Nine Vulture Squad was still within people's understanding.
The perfect coordination displayed by the Snow Eagle Squad was also still within common sense.
Then the power that Hussein was displaying at this moment.
It had already exceeded the knowledge of the vast majority of adventurers.
Skill scrolls allow humans to use the power of extraordinary creatures.
But you, Hussein, directly transformed into a transcendental creature.
That's a bit excessive!
Taking advantage of the short time that Hussein was suppressed by magic.
Galen retrieved the heavy shield that was named "useless" because it was too heavy and shouted:
"Nicolia come to me, I have a way to defeat him!"
