Ornstein the Dragon Slayer's signature move. It involves enhancing his body with magic to achieve a brief burst of high speed. Because the duration is so short, aside from Ornstein wielding a spear, very few powerful warriors use this technique. However, many learn it to increase their escape speed.
Mana cost: 25
"Nitrogen Charge: A charge that envelops oneself or one's weapon in flames."
A powerful charge attack popularized by the Immortals. It's said that this attack enhances the user's agility while striking the enemy. Therefore, there's a saying that when fighting the Immortals, you can't drag it out for too long.

Mana cost: 30
Upgrade requires 10 uses.
For Lu Ming, these two skills consumed too much mana; after about ten uses, his mana would become critically low. They were essentially unusable in conjunction with other skills, only useful for charging or escaping. In terms of practicality, they were less useful than the more powerful Light Grating Cannon.
However, the appearance of these two skills has opened up several more skills on the skill tree. These are: the Normal-type Quick Attack and Extreme Speed, the Fire-type Flame Kick and Flame Punch, and Flamethrower.
Except for the skill "Lightning Strike," which only costs 1 skill point, all the other skills are extremely expensive. And Lu Ming currently doesn't have a single skill point, so he can only look at these skills for now.
For Miral and his group, these two skills weren't just a matter of mana depletion. If they used them more than twice, they'd be exhausted and unable to move! Furthermore, the Nitrogen Charge was prone to burning their weapons! They were hardly good skills.
"Get ready to disembark!" Because the new skill was a trap, Lu Ming and the others had no choice but to head towards the Forgotten Prison.
One by one, they jumped off the ghost ship and landed on the dock. Lu Ming and the others looked into the interior of the Forgotten Cage.
"This place is huge!"
"How can a place used to imprison the immortals be small? Otherwise, what will happen when there's nowhere left to put them?"
"There's still nowhere to put it, isn't there?"
"Forehead......"
"Alright, alright! Let's go!" Seeing Jack and Baggetton starting to sabotage things because of Miral's words, Lu Ming smiled and waved his hand: "The Cursed One is still waiting for us!"
“Alright!” Jack glanced at his two unreliable teammates, sighed slightly, and together with Lu Ming, began to head towards the entrance of the Forgotten Cage.
"Wait for us!"
"and many more!"
As soon as Lu Ming stepped through the entrance to the enormous Forgotten Cage, he saw two wandering soul soldiers fast asleep. Their behavior was practically saying, "I'm sleeping, come trade me!" Lu Ming and Jack decided, "Since that's the case, then we won't be polite!"
Two backstabs were enough to take away these two derelict souls.
"By the way, where's the campfire around here?" After seeing that Lu Ming and Jack had taken care of everyone, Baggetton and Miral immediately began looking for a campfire.
"Gentlemen, the campfire is down below!" Lu Ming walked to the elevator in the center of the room, pointed to the ground, and said somewhat speechlessly.
"Forehead......"
Knowing that her and Baggetton's behavior looked stupid, Miral blushed deeply as she got on the elevator.
"One, two, three, four. Very good, no one is lost. Now, let's go down!"
"Jack, you bastard! We're not idiots, how could we possibly get lost!?"
Jack ignored Baggetton's shouting and stepped on the elevator mechanism.
The sound of a chain mechanism activating rang out as Jack released the mechanism, and then the elevator slowly descended amidst the sound of gears turning the chains.
Finally, with a "click!" the elevator stopped, taking Lu Ming and the other three to the lower level of the Forgotten Cage.
Looking at the long corridor with the wailing of the undead spirits in the cells on both sides, Lu Ming and the others felt a little uneasy.
At the far left end of the corridor, in a cell, Lu Ming and the others saw a campfire. However, the cell door was locked!
Left with no other choice, Baggetton once again took on the role of demolition team leader. With a single, powerful strike of his graveyard greatsword, he smashed the iron gate to pieces!
Hey! You guys! Let me out right now!
Perhaps the noise from Bajedon's violent demolition was too loud, causing an undead in the cell opposite the campfire to suddenly shout at Lu Ming and the others.
"Eh!!!!" The Undead's sudden outburst startled Miral. In a flash, she threw herself into Lu Ming's arms, nearly knocking him over and sending him crashing against the corridor wall.
"Hey! I'm not that scary, am I?"
Chapter 5 - Dungeon [The Forgotten Cage] Part 1
"Brother! That was terrifying!" Although he wasn't scared half to death like Miral, Jack, who hadn't noticed the immortal man either, was also quite frightened. He couldn't help but walk over to the cell and say angrily.
"Sorry! Sorry!" Seeing that he had startled Lu Ming and the others, the immortal man immediately apologized.
"I've just not seen an immortal with humanity besides myself for a very, very long time. That's why I'm a little excited!"
Although this immortal seemed easy to talk to, Lu Ming and Jack both knew which type of immortal was the most terrifying.
That's like the guy in the cell, an undead who's been locked up for who knows how long, with only a tiny bit of their soul left! Such an undead is capable of almost anything.
"Um, I know you're wary of me. But isn't there a campfire over there? Just let me out and let me teleport away using the campfire!"
Lu Ming and Jack exchanged a glance, then both nodded slightly. They pulled Miral aside and had Baggetton open the cell door for the undead.
"Thank you! Thank you all!" Although Lu Ming and the others were still very wary of him, the immortal kept thanking them.
Little did they know, Lu Ming and Jack decided to release him simply because he was unarmed and wouldn't be able to defeat the four of them even if he were released. Moreover, the walls of the immortal's cell were covered with a bunch of incomprehensible drawings, which piqued Lu Ming and Jack's curiosity.
After a powerful strike, the cell door of the cell where the undead was imprisoned was smashed open by the graveyard greatsword.
"Thank you so much! I'm really grateful!" Just as he had promised, the undead lit a campfire as soon as he was released and left with it.
Watching him disappear into the campfire, Lu Ming felt a pang of jealousy. Because he was an ordinary person, he couldn't teleport using the campfire. Otherwise, he might have tried to return to the [Hyde's Tower of Fire] or the [Path of Sacrifices] to see if he could get some equipment or something. Unfortunately...
"Bajaton, keep an eye on the campfire. Don't let that guy come over again and stab us in the back!" Lu Ming and Jack instructed Bajaton before entering the cell, intending to check what was written on the cell wall.
"Got it!" Bajton waved his hand impatiently, then stood to the right of the doorway of the room where the campfire was. If anyone dared to teleport over and ambush Lu Ming and the others, he would let that person experience the feeling of being hit on the back of the head with a graveyard greatsword.
With Bajedon's protection, Lu Ming and Jack entered the cell where the undead had been imprisoned and began to carefully examine the writing on the cell walls.
Unfortunately, they didn't understand what was written in the end. But we didn't come away empty-handed; at least they each obtained a soul-based spell.
A rain of arrows and a barrage of soul-piercing spears.
After exchanging a glance for a second, Lu Ming and Jack pulled Miral into the cell, wanting her to try and see if she could learn any magic. Miral did learn a spell, but it left Lu Ming and Jack somewhat disappointed. The spell was a powerful soul arrow.
Although it's not a spell that any mage can easily master, like Soul Arrow, Powerful Soul Arrow isn't a good spell either, its power being far inferior to the Soul Spear we'd encountered before.
To this, Lu Ming really wanted to ask Miral: 'Just how low is your intelligence? Why can't you even learn Soul Spear? Are you even a mage?!'
However, not wanting to hurt anyone, Lu Ming ultimately refrained from asking.
"Bagerton, let's go! We still have a long way to go!"
"Here I am!"
-----------------------------------
Perhaps it was bad luck, but as soon as Lu Ming and his group stepped out of the prison area where the campfire was located, they were attacked by several crossbowmen hiding in the distance!
Fortunately, crossbow bolts are too difficult for soldiers who have become ghosts to control, and they missed several times, allowing Lu Ming to seize the opportunity and forcibly take them away with waves of evil energy.
"Ah~!!" Gritting his teeth, Jack pulled the crossbow bolt from his arm and then treated his own and the others' injuries.
"Alright, all the crossbowmen are taken care of. Next, we'll be moving on to the next area." After killing the last crossbowman, Lu Ming took a slight breath and said.
"Damn it! I hate these ranged attack ghosts the most!" Jack complained angrily, sweating profusely from the pain of forcibly pulling out the crossbow bolt, before continuing forward with Lu Ming.
As for the remaining two, they were already sobbing silently in a corner from the pain.
Lu Ming put the crossbowmen's short crossbows and a bunch of bolts from the bridge where he and the others were on into his phone's inventory. Then, he put the crossbowmen's helmets over Miral's little head to prevent her from accidentally getting shot into a pincushion again.
"This helmet is so heavy!"
"If you're slow to react, then put it on properly!" Lu Ming gently tapped Miral on the head, then took out his bow and moon arrows, preparing for the next area's battle.
"Are we going down?" After glancing at the broken bridge and then at the downward ladder that Lu Ming was walking over, Baggetton felt uneasy.
"Yes! What's wrong?"
"Is there anything scary down there?"
Lu Ming looked at the man wearing an onion helmet, whose face was obscured, but he could sense the unease in him.
"Below are just a few dogs and crossbowmen, plus a cursed one, who looks like the Cursed Teacher."
"..."
Holding his bow and Irithyll straight sword, Lu Ming looked at Bajaton for a long while before saying, "Bajaton, you cover the rear!"
After saying that, he climbed down the ladder on his own and lured the dogs over one by one at the door of the room on the lower floor, killing them one by one with his sword.
As Lu Ming pressed forward, Miral and Jack followed suit, descending to the lower level one by one. At that moment, Baggetton looked around and suddenly realized the place was eerie and gloomy, so he shouted, "Wait for me!" and went down as well.
Perhaps it was a problem with the armor, but after he went down to the lower level, he didn't stand steadily like the others, but instead fell on his backside.
"..." Lu Ming, who had been standing warily at the doorway checking for the Bane of the Cursed, looked speechlessly at Bajton, who was sitting on the ground unable to get up. He thought to himself, 'You've completely disgraced the two famous Onion Knights of Catarina. Even though your intelligence is slightly higher than theirs.'
"Jack! Treat him. Judging by his condition, his buttocks must be split into eight pieces." Lu Ming said, rubbing his aching forehead, feeling quite frustrated.
"I think it could even be sixteen petals!" Jack pulled Baggetton up and then gave him a healing spell to prevent him from getting seriously injured and affecting the performance of the others later.
"You're bullying me..."
"Get out! Stop being disgusting!"
"Alright, stop fooling around." Lu Ming smiled and stopped Bajton and Jack from bickering, and then gave them a pre-battle plan: "Bajton, you go and draw the crossbowmen's fire. Jack and I will take out the crossbowmen before the Cursed One appears. Then, it's you and Miral playing two against one against the Cursed One."
"Why? Didn't you say that cursed beings are difficult to deal with?"
"This is just a joke! Otherwise, if you two really fought the cursed one, you'd be dead countless times over!"
"......" "......"
"I'll count to three, then you, Baggetton, get out there! Understand?"
"Ok!"
Lu Ming and Jack stood on either side of the door, holding up three fingers: "One, two..."
Miral suddenly blurted out, "Three!"
"Kill them!!" Caught off guard, Baghedon charged forward with his shield raised...
"..." Lu Ming and Jack exchanged a speechless glance, and then hurriedly rushed out.
"Jack, go shoot the one on the right!" Lu Ming shouted immediately after shooting down a crossbowman hiding on a wooden shelf on the left side of the room they had been in.
"Understood!" Upon hearing Lu Ming's shout, Jack fired a lightning spear, instantly killing the crossbowman on the right.
