Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 19 The Hidden Mist Village on the Verge of Bankruptcy

"The mysterious merchant is really kind; he knows we're hunting Ghost Generals and even provides us with intelligence."

The honest and simple-minded Chojuro pushed up his glasses and expressed his deepest gratitude to the mysterious merchant who had only made an appearance when the game was launched.

Mei Terumi smiled gently and glanced at Chojuro.

Although he was smiling, there was no real joy in his eyes.

Chojuro couldn't help but shiver.

"That damned mysterious merchant!"

Even with Mei Terumi's composure, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and curse inwardly.

Her mind worked quickly, and she immediately understood the current situation.

If the decapitation squad cannot eliminate the Ghost General in a short time, they will face a swarm of enemy players.

"Everyone, don't be stingy with your reward points. After we hunt down the Ghost General, the Hidden Mist Village will compensate us."

"Chojuro, purchase the [Attribute Stimulant Potion] from the shop. It will increase all attributes by 6 points within five minutes."

"clear!"

Chojuro belatedly opened the game store, and was immediately stunned when he saw the price. He exclaimed, "Lord Mizukage, one bottle costs eight hundred reward points! That's too much..."

"Stop talking nonsense, the Ghost General is coming out."

"The decapitation squad will respawn on the spot upon death, abandoning any attempts at maneuvering or dodging, focusing on inflicting maximum damage and ensuring the target is eliminated in the shortest possible time!"

Mei Terumi's face was serious, but her heart was aching.

This hunt for the Ghost General, conservatively estimated, will consume four months' worth of mission rewards for the entire Hidden Mist Village.

If I ever met a game merchant in real life, I would definitely bite them hard.

Release the Lava Bite.

puff.

The giant gate slowly opened a crack.

The surging, ghostly aura condensed into a thick fog that rushed out and instantly covered the entire castle hall.

A ghostly figure, four meters tall and resembling a black iron tower, emerged from it.

The medieval armor, as black as ink, lacked the ethereal quality of ordinary ghosts. The ghostly aura was solid, as if it were real flesh and blood, with a hand as large as a millstone.

The Ghost General held a serrated, extremely heavy, blood-red greatsword in his hand, like an executioner exuding murderous aura.

A subtle sense of oppression made everyone's heart tighten.

note!

With Mei Terumi's silent movements, everyone used concealment items to hide their presence.

"Glava was killed?"

The Ghost General's face was skinless, skeletal, and covered with bloody fascia and chunks of flesh that writhed as he spoke.

Drops of grayish-black ghostly aura, like drops of fresh blood, dripped down his chin.

Then it turns to ash in the air.

The design alone is enough to frighten many timid players into standing still.

but,

The decapitation squad consisted of elite players who were also ninjas who lived by the sword in real life. Although they were frowning, they were not intimidated by the Ghost General.

sizzle...

The sound of a trap being triggered.

The Ghost General frowned, and sensing something was wrong, he bent his knees and suddenly jumped up.

Despite its seemingly heavy and massive body, it was remarkably agile.

However, there are also pre-placed traps and props even in mid-air.

boom!

Flame nozzles, secretly installed on the castle walls, spewed out thick, long serpents of flame, the raging fire distorting the air with their scorching heat.

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.

Sizzle...

The Ghost General's armor was corroded, becoming as soft as bread, and his 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 curled his 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.

"That's some serious health, isn't that 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 of reincarnation.

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.

It's just around the corner.

"Don't retreat! 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 flowing 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!"
