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 the Boiling Escape technique she has painstakingly honed over many years.

"You intruders, how dare you trespass on 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 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 depleted magic power is instantly nourished, just like barren land.

Flaming chains.

A long, narrow chain of flames, writhing like a fiery 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.

The Ghost General's blood-red greatsword had already been thrown, piercing through Mei Terumi's abdomen like a javelin, killing her instantly.

"Lord Mizukage!"

With a roar, Chojuro leaped high into the air, aimed his twin swords at the monster, and swooped down at incredible speed.

A flash of silver light fell from the blade.

But before the shockwave could explode, the Ghost General broke through his twin swords and sent him flying with one arm.

"I'm fine, keep attacking!"

After Mei Terumi revives on the spot, she quickly puts distance between herself and the monster.

The advantage of spending reward points to revive on the spot is that you can revive at full health immediately.

Unlike the cheap return-to-town resurrection, which leaves you in a weakened state after resurrection, requiring you to either purchase recovery potions or wait for a slow recovery.

……

Outside the thick castle walls.

"Just as I predicted, someone has infiltrated the castle, intending to hunt down the Ghost General!"

Hempen Cloth waved his hand, signaling the players behind him to keep quiet.

She inserted her fingers into the cracks in the rough wall, her magic power rapidly depleted, and an invisible wave pierced through the wall and extended inward.

Mental perception.

This is a very useful skill, although it requires consuming reward points to continuously upgrade the skill in order to expand the range of perception.

However, his ability to perceive things is even stronger than the famous bloodline limit of Konoha, the Byakugan.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, countless shinobi died because they were exposed by the Byakugan.

It's impossible for other ninja villages not to covet it.

However, the Byakugan possesses an almost cruel defensive mechanism, capable of self-destruction, making it impossible to kill or gouge out the eyes.

Mabui wasn't good at fighting, so she took the support role.

The image of a fierce battle inside the castle flashed through my mind.

"It's Mei Terumi from Kirigakure!"

The man in linen clothes frowned, sensing something was amiss.

If it were those poor guys from Sunagakure, even with their relentless leveling up, they could still raise their levels to the level of top-tier players.

However, without the support of equipment, they have absolutely no chance of competing with the Hidden Cloud Village.

Putting aside others, Samui alone, wearing five pieces of Ghost Armor and activating the set effect, could wipe out a five-person player team in the Sand Village game by herself.

Who made Sunagakure poor?

The area is plagued by constant sandstorms, has scarce resources, and even its mission commissions are snatched up by other countries, leaving it with no resources to support the terrifying financial drain of the Reincarnation Game.

But Kirigakure is different.

Although it is a closed-off country, it refers to Kirigakure, not the Land of Water. Geographically, it is a chain of islands, and coral, pearls, seashells, and abundant aquatic products are all good businesses that can be traded for large sums of money.

Mabui secretly spent 50 reward points to buy information about Terumi Mei from a player in the Mist Hidden Alliance.

Judging solely from their attributes, even Samui, the strongest fighter in the Cloud Hidden Alliance, is no match for Mei Terumi.

Of course, the difference isn't significant.

If a real fight breaks out, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

However, the Mist Alliance has expended a great deal of energy hunting the Ghost General, and the Cloud Alliance has not exposed itself, hiding in the shadows and preparing to strike. There is a high probability that they will snatch this prize.

suddenly,

Linen-clad's expression hardened slightly as he looked towards a spot not far from the castle's outer wall.

The view was empty.

However, within my mental perception, there was a team quietly lurking and approaching.

"We've been discovered..."

Asuma, dangling from the iron skewer, keenly sensed the Cloud Hidden Alliance's spying.

The chameleon potion they purchased was of a very low grade; it was barely enough to fool the ghost army, and it didn't have the ability to shield against mental energy.

Maintaining a safe distance, Mabui smiled and said, "So it's Konoha Village. Want a piece of the pie too?"

Instead of answering, Asuma asked, "Where's Kumogakure? Are they here shopping?"

Naruto and Omoi exchanged a glance, both seeing the hostility in each other's eyes.

"The Mist Alliance is the strongest. If we fight now, we will completely lose the opportunity to hunt the Ghost General."

"Let's join forces against Mist Village first."

Both sides tacitly agreed not to discuss the ownership of the spoils.

The battle inside the ruined castle became increasingly intense.

at this time,

The Ghost General's health is still at a healthy level, but the Fog Shadow Alliance has already consumed thousands of reward points.

If this terrifying drain continues until the end of the battle, Kirigakure will likely go bankrupt.

"Chōjūrō!"

Mei Terumi's gaze suddenly fell on the rough, thick walls of the castle.

Chojuro understood immediately and rushed to the wall, wielding his twin blades at lightning speed to make a cut.

The thick wall was cut in two like tofu, collapsing and breaking.

"As expected of the Mizukage, he was discovered as soon as the concealment item's effect wore off."

Samui assumed a fighting stance, blocking in front of Mabui, wary of Chojuro's sudden attack.

The entire Konoha squad consisted of combat players, so they immediately spread out and found their own angles for attack and defense.
