Fortunately, he had foreseen the danger ahead of time.
Han Dong stopped halfway and let Cass investigate on his own.
Otherwise, once they reached the end, Han Dong would not be able to escape with his body.
Judging from the sound, Cass was still a hundred meters away from Han Dong, but the situation was still critical.
Chen Li immediately appeared and supported Han Dong as they sped away from the secret passage.
"Judging from the number of overlapping claw sounds, there are at least three ghouls chasing us. As long as we can escape back to the basement, there's still a way."
With Chen Li's help, Han Dong ran back to the basement at the speed of a normal person.
"Miss Chen Li, hurry up and hide. I'll ask for your help if necessary."
"Okay."
Han Dong guarded the entrance of the secret passage alone and waited for Cass' arrival.
Not long after.
Cass, who was holding a torch, appeared in his field of vision.
Cass, who was wearing a pair of goggles, had some dark lines around his eyes. It was the appearance of visual corruption.
Behind Cass, there were at least five ghouls, each of them in different forms.
With the light from the torch, this was the first time Han Dong saw the true appearance of a ghoul.
It was a humanoid creature with rubber-like, elastic, dark green skin.
Its patella protruded, and its sharp teeth, which could easily crush bones, were exposed.
Its curved spine protruded out of its body, and the muscle tissue covering its entire body was tight and strong.
Whether it was its skin, teeth, or its terrifying sharp claws, they were all covered in dense black fungus.
Once it tore through a human's skin, it would instantly cause infectious damage.
If the wound was not treated in time, it would immediately fester and fester. It could even cause necrosis in a short period of time. Even if it survived, it would have to be amputated.
If one observed carefully, they would notice a dangerous and undetectable detail.
On the surface of these ghouls' bodies, there were a few inconspicuous natural wounds.
Occasionally, a short tentacle would appear on the surface of these wounds. It was very strange.
…
The ghouls' movement speed was about the same as Cass, who had invested three [Fate Points].
In particular, one of the ghouls was half the size of the other ghouls, and its spine protruded out of its body. It was even faster than the other ghouls.
Its sharp claws could even easily leave scratches on the stone walls.
His speed was even faster. In fact, he was gradually pulling away from the ghouls behind him as he chased after Cass … He was about to catch up to the young Cass.
The sharp claws had just cut the surface of the armor on Cass' back.
He rushed out of the tunnel.
For a moment, Cass lost his balance and fell to the ground as he rushed out of the passage.
Han Dong calculated the time and reached out to touch the switch. The secret door closed.
Crack!
It was just right.
The closing of the secret door allowed the ghouls at the front to escape, while the ghouls at the back were trapped in the secret passage.
The stone door was almost two meters thick, and these ordinary ghouls had no way of breaking it.
This ghoul, which was two meters long and covered in linen, seemed to be the leader of this incident.
The culprit who killed the mistress.
It didn't care if its companions followed. Its black round eyes locked onto the young Knight Cass … It had to kill him and hide the matter of the nest.
Sharp claws and fangs.
It went straight for Cass' head.
Clang!
The loud sound of metal clashing echoed in the basement.
Although Cass fell to the ground, he was ready to fight at any time … He waved his shield.
The perfect block formed a "perfect block."
While completely blocking the attack, it also repelled the ghoul to a certain distance, giving Knight Cass time to adjust his condition.
"Ah! Ah!" Just as the ghoul let out a strange roar and prepared to take the next step of the attack …
A dangerous green energy ball shot directly at the back of the ghoul's head.
Some kind of highly corrosive plague immediately spread from the back of the ghoul's head.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! The sound of corrosive acid could be heard.
In a short period of time, the plague energy actually corroded a small hole in the skull and then corroded the brain tissue inside … The effect was stronger than expected.
Of course, it was Han Dong who had released the Plague Ray.
When he activated "Plague Doctor's Short Blade," Han Dong clearly felt that a part of the energy ball in his brain had been extracted … According to the remaining energy, he could use this attack about five more times.
If it was a newborn ghoul, it would probably have fallen to the ground.
However, the current situation was not so simple.
Just as the plague was about to affect the brain, a strange scene appeared.
Many short, thin, and long shadow tentacles appeared in the Ghoul's skull.
The tentacles wriggled and intertwined with each other. While offsetting the plague, they were also repairing the skull.
"Tentacles!? Self-repair! "
This time, the ghoul changed its' target. '
It turned its ugly head and looked at the weak Han Dong … Viscous saliva mixed with bacteria kept flowing out from between its teeth.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! (Electromagnetic Interference Sound)
When the ghoul's black eyes met with Han Dong's, a noise similar to electromagnetic interference sounded in his mind … Vaguely, something flashed in the ghoul's pupils.
However …
Han Dong was completely fine under such a close gaze.
Unlike Cass, who had one more Fate Point than him.
Han Dong did not suffer any so-called 'visual pollution,' any sensory discomfort, headaches, or hallucinations. There were also no dark streaks around his eyes.
It was not the effect of the goggles.
Han Dong faintly felt that even if he did not wear the goggles, he would not be in any danger.
Of course, visual pollution was secondary … How to deal with this ghoul was the key.
At this moment.
Bang!
A bottle of Holy Water Bomb smashed into the Ghoul's body (which was the bottle of Holy Water).
* Sizzle! * A large amount of white steam rose.
The ghoul rolled on the ground in pain, but because its claws were waving randomly, it was not easy to get close and finish it off.
"Andwa, my friend, stand behind me … We can still deal with a mature ghoul."
He used the opportunity obtained by the holy water bomb.
Han Dong immediately stood behind Cass so that he would not be left alone.
"Find the right opportunity and attack from a distance like just now!
Low-level monsters like ghouls are still unable to break away from the category of humans in terms of physical structure. You are a mystic scholar, so you should know better than me … Just aim at their head and heart. "
"Okay."
After that!
Cass got into a combat stance.
He held a shield in his left hand and stood in front of him.
He held a sword in his right hand and placed it behind the shield.
This stance seemed to have a special meaning …
"Crusader's Power."
For a moment, the golden-haired silver-armored Cass' body emitted a faint silver light.
There was even a faint cross mark on his forehead.
It was similar to a temporary amplification skill.
The ghoul that was corroded by the holy water recovered in a short period of time … And it was already in an enraged state. Some black smoke leaked out of its black eyes.
Pounce.
It was determined to tear Cass into pieces.
…
* Phew … *
Deep breaths.
His center of gravity sank.
The moment the ghoul pounced, the veins on Cass' forehead bulged. He stomped on the ground with his hind legs and poured all his strength into his shield-wielding left arm.
"Shield Bash."
* Clang! * (A dull sound of metal clashing.)
The two-meter-tall ghoul was sent flying by Cass' shield bash.
"So heavy … It's a bit strenuous."
Cass suppressed the tremors in his arm.
He retracted his shield and charged forward swiftly.
The moment the ghoul landed, he swung his silver sword.
"Cross Slash."
Wherever the silver light went, the ghoul's body was completely cut open.
The black heart hidden under the ribs was clearly visible!
