Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

The ghostly general in mid-air awkwardly twisted his body, barely managing to block the blood-red greatsword in front of him.

Poison mine detonated!

The purplish-black poisonous mist exploded, instantly merging with the mist formed by the aura of ghosts.

Zi La La...

The Ghost General's armor was corroded, becoming as soft as bread, and the blood-red greatsword was so hot from the flames that it was almost impossible to hold.

Spiked landmine.

Puff puff.

Countless sharp, needle-like spikes covered the Ghost General's entire body, making him look like a hedgehog.

One trap after another was triggered, turning the center of the hall into a death trap.

"hateful!"

A hoarse voice came from the poisonous fog and the explosions of flames.

The walls of the castle hall have collapsed, the ground has caved in, and it is riddled with holes.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and fog obscured everything.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the trap attack to end.

Suddenly,

A thick arm burst through the smoke and dust, gripping the neck of a player whose breathing was rapid due to tension, as if it were squeezing a wildly wriggling eel.

Click.

As the tattered Ghost General bent his five fingers, the player's head was crushed.

An 8th-level arcane mage possesses a level 3 protective arcane spell, Barrier.

Even if a warrior of the same level gets close, you must first break through the barrier before you can attack the body inside the barrier.

And just like that, he was easily killed by the Ghost General.

"What's going on? Didn't the intelligence say that General Ghost was a warrior? How come he's this fast?"

"Now that we've been exposed, there's no need for the rest of us to hide anymore," exclaimed one of the closest elite players.

He gripped his two axes tightly, his blood and qi surging, and charged towards the Ghost General.

A series of axe flashes.

The Ghost General was wounded by the trap; his armor was tattered, and even the flesh underneath was charred black.

His chest was pierced by a huge javelin fired from the trap, leaving a gaping hole.

If it were an ordinary ghost, it would have been annihilated long ago.

But for the Ghost General, it seemed as if he had suffered some minor injuries.

Snapped.

The level 5 green weapon, the Twin Shadow Axe, clashed with the massive Evil Blade.

Next second,

The elite player only felt his arms flip backward, his palms lose feeling, and his flesh was shattered and mangled.

The Twin Shadow Axes tumbled out and embedded themselves in the wall.

After being attacked, the Ghost General becomes hostile.

A thick, golden frame appeared, topped with a ghostly skull symbol, and viscous gray liquid swirled inside the frame.

At the end, the gray liquid decreased due to damage from the trap.

【Ghost General】, 3800/5000 health points.

Shock.

Even Mei Terumi couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Such high health points, isn't that too unfair?"

Putting everything else aside, the terrifying number of health points alone is enough to instill despair.

For ordinary players, health is related to the constitution attribute; every 1 point of constitution increases health by 10 points.

Even for high-constitution classes like knights and shield bearers, the average constitution is only 15 points. With equipment bonuses, they can barely reach 25 points of constitution, which is about 300 points of health.

"Is such a huge difference due to skill or talent?"

Mei Terumi pondered inwardly as she waved her staff, causing fire elementals to cascade down.

She has already grasped a sliver of the rules of the cycle game.

There is no power without a reason; as long as players have enough reward points, they can buy anything they want.

The Ghost General's health points can reach 5000, which must be due to special items, skills, or even bloodline bonuses.

There is a player in the Fog Concealment Alliance,

By sheer luck, I obtained the item [Inferior Gargoyle Power] from a gargoyle.

After use, it can change one's bloodline, granting the power of a gargoyle and increasing health by 500 points.

Mei Terumi's heart was pounding.

She had long noticed the weakness of fire mages: their constitution was too low and their health was not high enough. If they were ambushed by assassins, they could easily be killed in one hit.

If I can get an item that increases my health from the Ghost General, I can make up for my last weakness.

At that time, the Fog Shadow Alliance will dominate the game world.

Just around the corner.

"No one retreats! The reward points for reviving on the spot will be fully covered by Mist Village, and damaged weapons and equipment will also be compensated. Everyone has only one task: clear the health bar above the Ghost General's head!"

Mei Terumi's long, beautiful legs were slightly bent, with perfectly defined muscle lines.

With a light leap, it landed on a wall lamp high up in the castle.

The staff swept continuously, and bursts of scorching elemental energy exploded out, blasting towards the Ghost General.

Chojuro, on the verge of tears, said, "Lord Mizukage, if you say something like that, Kirigakure will go bankrupt!"

Chapter 20 Fierce Battle

Mei Terumi didn't care about any of that; her attention was entirely focused on the Ghost General.

Hellfire!

A pale blue halo appeared beneath her feet.

The staff unleashed scorching orange flames, which, under the influence of the Hellfire state, transformed into chilling, ghostly blue flames.

This is fire from hell.

It has a severe burning effect on spirit-type monsters.

It is a fire mage skill that Mei Terumi awakens after reaching level 8. It lasts for half a minute and has a five-minute cooldown.

In some ways, its destructive power surpasses that of her Boiling Escape, which she has painstakingly honed over many years.

"You intruders, how dare you set foot in this contaminated land! You're courting death!"

The Ghost General made a sound, and the nearest elite player felt as if his internal organs were being shaken.

The crimson greatsword swept across, stirring up a fierce wind.

It dispersed the surging hellfire, but stray sparks landed on its shoulders and legs.

sizzle...

The hellfire that scorches the soul is like poison to the ghost's body, rapidly corroding it.

The Ghost General looked up and realized that the woman above him who could unleash hellfire was the biggest threat on the scene.

"Shadow Poison Blade!"

Four elite players spread out and surrounded the Ghost General in the center.

A dagger gleaming with dark green light was hurled straight at the massive ghost, but it was like a toothpick hitting an iron wall, and was instantly knocked away.

Before the Ghost General could launch an attack on Mei Terumi above, the four of them had already rushed up.

Faced with a huge gap in strength, the four of them didn't even think about dealing enough damage to the monster; their main goal was to slow it down.

Hand of Flames.

Mei Terumi took advantage of the distance and jumped onto a wall lamp further away.

Hellfire coalesced into a gigantic hand, which gripped the Ghost General tightly, its five fingers clenched.

The crackling sound of burning.

The Ghost General's flesh rapidly melted away, along with the health of the four elite players.

3100 lives.

The two skills that applied the Hellfire status directly dealt 700 damage to the Ghost General.

Although the results were significant, the losses were even greater.

The elite players who risked their lives to hold off the monsters needed to spend millions of taels of silver in just one wave of attacks.

The more she invests, the less likely Mei Terumi is to give up.

Once the blue bar is depleted, immediately purchase the most expensive recovery potion; the dried-up magic power is instantly nourished, just like barren land.

Flaming chains.

A long, narrow chain of flames, writhing like a fire serpent, rushed toward the Ghost General.

However, the other party dodged it, and the blow only lightly grazed the other party's arm, without causing much damage.

The newly resurrected elite players didn't have time to provide cover.
