Mercenary Wars

Chapter 198 Advanced Transformation Solution
The flames were intense yet faintly emanated a divine aura, spreading from her hair to Cassandra's entire body, making her look like a Valkyrie in flames.

She clenched her fist and walked towards the dark red curtain. The ghosts touched by the flames melted away, like snowflakes being burned.

Then, with a roar, she swung her right fist and slammed it hard against the curtain!

"Boom!" With a loud bang, sparks flew as the dark red curtain at the point where the fist landed flickered rapidly.

Gaucano was somewhat surprised.

He had just cleaved the crimson curtain with the Blood-Summoning Sword and knew how sturdy it was.

Unexpectedly, Cassandra's destructive power was so great in this state of full-body burning; a single punch was enough to shake the Crimson Veil!

Cassandra continued to throw punches, her warhammer-like fists slamming into the curtain with lightning speed.

"Boom boom boom——"

The dark red curtain flickered more rapidly, and crack-like patterns vaguely appeared.

Half a second later, Cassandra roared again, then brought her hands together like spears and stabbed the dark red curtain with her charging steps.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous cracking sound, her hands suddenly pierced the curtain!
She immediately gritted her teeth and struggled to separate her trembling hands to the sides.

Under Cassandra's immense strength and the burning flames, the dark red curtain was torn apart, slowly expanding from a gap about two fingers wide.

Seeing this, the disciples could no longer sit still.

"Roar—" Several high-level Disciples disregarded the effects of the Fabion's Insignia Ring and immediately roared in pain as they approached Cassandra, attempting to attack her from behind.

Gaucano's clairvoyance was clear enough that he couldn't let them succeed. He quickly stood behind Cassandra, activated Earth Skin, and took out several Holy Light spell scrolls, tore them open, and cast several blessing spells on himself.

Then, after a moment's thought, he immediately held his sword and silently prayed in his heart: "Erinnis, goddess of vengeance, grant me the power to vanquish the ghosts..."

Spirits are almost immune to physical attacks, so Gaucano has no choice but to use his sword and pray to deal with them effectively.

Sunderland, the Wind Prince, had already prayed, and although it was unknown whether He only had the blessing of "Thunder Fury," it was clear that Thunder Fury would not help the current situation.

As Gaucano finished his prayer, a subtle power immediately arose out of nowhere.

Temporary Enchantment: Reckoning

[Effect: Each time you are attacked by an enemy, your weapon gains a stack of 'Reckoning', which deals additional damage to the attacker. 'Reckoning' damage cannot be negated...]

very good!

The damage from liquidation cannot be resisted, which is exactly the effect Gaugano needs.

However, immediately afterward, another line of information flooded into his mind.

[Erinis' Oracle: Avenge the Wrongfully Dead]

The oracle of the goddess of vengeance.

Gaucano had anticipated this.

After all, he had already prayed several times; he couldn't just get something for nothing every time. The Goddess of Harvest might be generous, the Wind Prince might be polite, but the Goddess of Fury, being a goddess who values ​​fairness, would definitely issue a divine decree.

Seeking revenge for those who died unjustly... doesn't seem too difficult.

After all, it didn't say it was to avenge any particular wrongful death; there are plenty of wrongful deaths in the world.

Of course, at this juncture, Gaucano has no time to think about the oracle.

Several high-level Ghost Apprentices are getting closer and closer, and may launch an attack at any moment.

Without hesitation, Gao Jiano quickly took out two items from his storage ring.

A shield and a blindfold. The shield goes without saying; since one needs to withstand attacks, it's essential to enhance one's survivability.

Taking out the blindfold headband serves the same purpose; this thing can greatly enhance one's mental strength and significantly increase one's ability to withstand various mental attacks.

As for the side effect of the blindfold headband, "blocking vision," it wasn't a big deal in this situation, since he was going to get beaten up anyway.

With shield in hand and headband on, Gaucano stood ready behind Cassandra.

The attack from the Ghostly Disciples arrived quickly.

"Boom!" A shadow arrow exploded on the shield, and dark power spread out.

Even though Gaucano couldn't see it, he could guess that the shield wasn't in very good condition. After all, he wasn't an expert with shields, and this shield wasn't something he had specially prepared; it was just one of the better-quality and more handy pieces from his past spoils.

There are also psychological attacks.

Gao Jiano felt a sharp shriek explode in his ears, followed by a headache.

Fortunately, with the blindfold on his head, the headache wasn't too severe, and he could bear it.

"Boom boom boom——"

Various attacks came one after another—magical, mental, and even physical. Gaucano couldn't see them and couldn't understand why there were physical attacks.

However, as these attacks came in droves, he was quickly beaten and bruised, and suffered a splitting headache, both physically and mentally.

He dared not bear it any longer. While using Blood Regeneration, he quickly tore off the blindfold and opened his eyes to look.

Gao Jiano first looked down at the Blood Summoning Sword in his hand. After enduring so many attacks, many white arcs of light were clearly attached to the sword, which was undoubtedly the power of "Purge".

Now it's my turn!

Gaucano looked up at the group of Ghosts ahead, took a deep breath, and prepared to attack.

"Hahaha!" A burst of laughter suddenly rang out.

At the same time, a soft click was heard: "Click!"

However, with the Gray Eagle mercenaries almost completely wiped out, Lucius had already opened the Behelit Oracle Chest in his hand.

Lucius laughed as he opened the box.

Hidden inside the box was a bottle of potion that emitted a faint glow.

"Advanced Transformation Elixir!" His voice trembled as he looked at the potion in the box, his eyes filled with fanaticism and excitement.

Without hesitation, he opened the potion, tilted his head back, and drank it!

As soon as the potion entered his mouth, Lucius's body was covered by a dazzling light, which became even brighter.

"I will become a high elf, possessing a perfect body!" he shouted in the light, as if making a declaration.

Immediately, the dazzling light was absorbed by his body like a whale sucking in water.

At the same time, his body was rapidly changing. The scar on his neck disappeared, his missing right arm grew back, and his blind right eye was restored.

His hair became soft and thick, its color changing from black to silver, and his pupils changing from black to blue; his features became more refined and defined, and his skin became even more fair and flawless...

In short, Lucius was transformed into Nils, with an extremely beautiful appearance.

Not only that, he also grew a pair of elegant pointed ears, clearly a characteristic of elves.

The Advanced Transformation Potion changed Lucius's race, transforming him from an ordinary human into a possibly extinct High Elf of the world of Faralore!
