Mercenary Wars

Chapter 199
His disabilities were completely cured, his appearance improved dramatically, and he even became a long-lived high elf... One can imagine how happy Lucius was at this moment.

that's the truth.

"Haha!" Feeling this perfect body, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He kept laughing and admiring the details of his body.

The body-reshaping effect of the Transformation Elixir is inevitably positive, and the advanced Transformation Elixir will have even more significant strengthening effects.

Therefore, his body not only looks perfect, but is also stronger, more flexible, and his senses are far superior to before.

Especially visual.

High elves possess darkvision, though not as advanced as that of dark races like drow elves, it is still a distinct experience compared to that of humans.

Lucius was secretly delighted.

Meanwhile, Gaucano also launched an attack on the Ghosts.

With the blessing of the Spirit Vision Technique, his eyes emitted a faint light, and he looked coldly at the nearest disciple. Then, he took a step forward and swung his sword down!

Liquidation!

"Boom!" The Blood Summoning Sword flashed with white light, followed by the wailing of the Ghost Disciple.

With just one sword strike, You Tu's form was nearly shattered.

You Tu was used to being immune to physical attacks, so he obviously did not expect the damage of this sword to be so terrifying. A deep fear appeared on his ferocious ghost face, and he hurriedly retreated with a shriek.

Gao Gano charged forward with burning blood and caught up instantly, his Blood-Summoning Sword slashing down once more.

"Boom!" Another burst of white light flashed.

[Kill a level 6 Ghost Apprentice, experience +325]

Two sword strikes killed a level six Netherworld Disciple, and the other Netherworld Disciples also showed fear on their faces, screaming as they fled into the distance.

Gao Jiano snorted coldly, and his Blood-Burning Charge pursued relentlessly, unleashing a series of Blood-Summoning Sword strikes.

"Boom boom boom——"

[Kill a level 5 Ghost Apprentice, experience +275]

[Kill a level 7 Ghost Apprentice, experience +375]

[Kill a level 6 Ghost Apprentice, experience +325]

Gao Jiano wanted to kill another of the wounded Youtu, but the other party had already escaped quite far.

After a moment's thought, he decided not to pursue them further, but instead returned to his original position to prevent the Wraiths from getting close to Cassandra.

After the cleanup just now, none of the Ghost Disciples, regardless of their rank, dared to approach him, creating a large vacuum around him.

Meanwhile, almost all the other mercenaries had been wiped out, leaving only Hicks still able to move.

Hicks is not only mobile, but also a formidable fighter. He wields his spear with lightning speed, occasionally inflicting damage on the surrounding specters.

But clearly, surrounded by countless ghosts, his fate was already sealed, and at this moment he was merely putting up a last-ditch resistance.

A few seconds later, he glanced at Gaucano in the distance, gritted his teeth, took off his storage ring, put it on the spearhead, and assumed a throwing stance.

"Take the collar and go find Little Black, Sentinelstone Town—" Hicks roared, then hurled his spear.

Without his spear, he was powerless to resist and was completely overwhelmed by the nearby ghosts before he could finish his sentence!
The spear landed a bit too far.

Gao Jiano didn't want to pick it up.

But at that moment, the temporary enchantment ended, and the light of reckoning on the Blood Summoning Sword vanished instantly.

Seeing that the terrifying light of reckoning had dissipated, the high-level Netherworld Disciples who had just been driven back immediately revealed their ferocious faces again, eager to try again.

Gaucano will not receive another blessing of reckoning until he fulfills the oracle of the vengeful goddess.

To continue dealing with the Ghosts, he had to find another way.

He immediately realized that Hicks' spear also seemed to be quite lethal to the Ghosts, so he gritted his teeth and charged straight towards where the spear would land. Gaucano picked up Hicks' spear and quickly understood why it could kill Ghosts.

[Item: Sacred Oil]

[Effect: Deals additional damage to evil creatures]

It turns out they applied holy oil!

Gaucano noticed that the holy oil on the spear was almost gone, so he quickly opened Hicks's storage ring and searched through it.

Fortunately, there was still a bottle of sacred oil.

Without hesitation, Gao Jiano immediately poured half a bottle of holy oil onto the Blood Summoning Sword, swiftly spreading it evenly with a gentle breeze, while simultaneously storing all the items back into his storage ring.

He glanced back and saw a high-level Specter—who seemed to be the one he had just injured—rapidly approaching Cassandra, baring his fangs and claws.

There are still some items that haven't been put back into the storage ring.

But Gaucano couldn't care less about that now.

He only had time to retract one of the collars before he turned around, charged forward with his blood burning, and rushed back before the Ghostly Disciple could attack Cassandra, simultaneously slashing with his sword!
The Holy Oil is far less powerful than the Cleansing, but it is still enough to significantly harm the Wraiths.

"Roar—" The wounded ghost immediately roared, its ferocious face turning back towards Gao Jiano, and it uttered a sinister whisper, "In the name of my lord, no one can escape from this barrier!"

With that, he bared his fangs, and a sharp shriek immediately rang out.

The shrill whistle entered his ears, and Gao Jiano felt a "boom" in his ears, his head instantly throbbing and stars flashing before his eyes.

Psychic attack!

Without hesitation, he brandished the hunter's mark on the ghost while putting on the blindfold again.

With the blindfold headband, the effect of mental attacks is greatly weakened.

Although vision is blocked, the hunter's mark is used to locate enemies, so it is still possible to fight.

Guided by the Hunter's Mark, Gao Gano immediately brandished the Blood-Summoning Sword and unleashed a flurry of attacks.

"Roar—" The damage seemed pretty good, and You Tu let out roars and howls from time to time.

However, Gaugano, who was blind, was also severely injured. He was hit by two Shadow Arrows alone, plus continuous mental attacks, and soon he was seriously injured again.

Physical injuries are relatively easy to heal, but psychological trauma is not so easy to recover from.

Gaucano felt he had almost lost the ability to think—thinking caused him intense mental anguish, and thinking would aggravate the wounds of his soul, just as action would aggravate the wounds of his body.

With his thinking efficiency greatly reduced and his eyesight impaired, Gaucano's tactics degenerated into indiscriminate hacking, focusing solely on speed and power.

At the same time, he screamed like a madman: "Ahhh!"

The chaotic battle continued for a while.

Until a few lines of information suddenly popped into Gao Jiano's mind.

[Triggered Successfully: Mark of Enslavement]

You have enslaved Laugus (Level 7 Ghost Apprentice)

Slow to his senses, Gao Jiano was first stunned, then overjoyed, and quickly tore off the blindfold.

“You…” Ghost Laugus’s expression froze, his spirit form completely still. “What did you do to me!”

Gaucano gave a cold laugh: "Of course, it's enslaving you."

He was a little surprised; he hadn't expected that the mark of enslavement could actually enslave spirits.

But in any case, with his control over Laugus, the situation began to become slightly more favorable.
