With the loud sound of falling stones, the splintered stone slag poured down from the top of the cave like a curtain of waterfall, causing the small area where the edge of the forest meets the mountain to quickly fill with billowing dust and smoke, isolating the ghoul pursuers outside the cave entrance for Urs and Thea, who fled all the way here, and completely blocking the only way for the two to retreat.

The moonlight faded suddenly, and the field of vision in front of me was pitch black for a moment.

The ground beneath his feet shook with a resonant vibration from the way Urs had just bombarded the top of the cave with the Impact Ring.

Urs didn't dare to risk staying in this small section of the place, knowing if it would collapse immediately, so he bent down to help Thea up, and felt the rock wall beside him to advance carefully into the depths of the cavern.

The interior of the cave extends at a slight downward slope to a long, narrow tunnel about four feet wide. The black-haired young man fumbled in the darkness for a minute or so with the panting wolf-eared girl, feeling the danger of chasing after him at last, or at least temporarily, move away from his side.

Suddenly, he finally let out a long breath of relief from his throat, and sat down slowly with Thea against the rock wall on the side of the tunnel.

In the dim environment, you can't see your fingers.

Perhaps because of the instinctive urge to seek solace in biological nature, young men and young girls who share afflictions hold each other's hands and sit together on their big shoulders and small shoulders.

"Thank you." After a while, Thea gradually eased her breathing, and thanked Urs in a soft voice with a little hoarseness, "I owe you two favors, once in the barracks and once just a few minutes ago. ”

"So you and I have to live well, otherwise my efforts will be in vain." Urs grabbed the hilt of the giant sword in his right hand and hung down on the ground, tilted his head and smiled, "Okay, let's not talk about these things for now, do you know how to shine?" ”

"Hmm."

Thea nodded, lifting the emblem bracelet wrapped around her left wrist for a short divine prayer.

Priest 0 Ring - Light (Plastic): Causes the target item to glow like a torch.

The Light Technique is a very basic and simple Apprentice-level Priest Divine Technique.

Soon, the emblem carved with the sun and the balance in her hand glowed with a bright light under the effect of the divine magic, illuminating the rock tunnel with a limited width.

With the brightness of the light source, she looked at Urs beside her, and turned her head to look at the surrounding scene: "This seems to be a naturally formed one-way passage, the road on the left is the direction we came, and the right side leads to the deeper part of the cave...... There may be an exit in there, and it cannot be ruled out that it is a dead end. ”

"Whatever the possibility, there is no way back for us now." Urs took her words and concluded, "So we must go inside, for even a glimmer of survival." ”

"No matter how risky it is?"

"That's right."

A natural answer, as well as a tone and confidence without confusion.

“…… Well, I trust your judgment. Thea hesitated for two seconds, then echoed Urs's proposal.

In this way, the young man and the girl took a short break with minimal vigilance, and then got up together, and continued along the tunnel that led to nowhere, with Urs in front of Thea.

There seems to be only endless darkness ahead, and there is no guarantee of safety or danger in sight.

Thea followed Urs's pace with the bracelet of the emblem that glowed like a candlelight, and Urs held the greatsword in his hand and walked in front of him to open the way, except for a little inevitable nervousness, but not the slightest waver from fear, after all, he knew that the place under his feet was probably located in the interior of the Notlik Mountains, under the surface between the western edge of the Frost Forest and the eastern part of Okazawa, and the tunnel with a slight downward slope would eventually lead to a dungeon area called the Tomb of the Wraith.

At the beginning of the game, the Tomb of the Wraith is a six-person squad-sized level 10 team dungeon, which is not very difficult or easy, and it is a challenge full of opportunities for Urs and Thea.

Yes, there are many opportunities, opportunities and dangers - the reason for this is that most of the monsters in that underground dungeon are ghostly creatures in the form of imaginary bodies, and those who wander in the crypt have nothing to do with the Black Codex of Byron Tas, their translucent bodies between the virtual and the real are immune to any non-magical weapon damage below +1 level, and they are very afraid of the holy power of the positive energy attribute, especially the magic performed by the priests and high-ranking paladins of the good faction.

Thea's magical abilities are like a scalpel that cuts through the weaknesses of ghostly undead creatures with unmistakable precision, and Urs, who was a hardcore gamer in her previous life, knows how to cooperate with her to complete the strategy of the underground dungeon, and the only hidden danger at the moment is that the number of people in the team is too small.

To put it bluntly, the task he and Xia had to complete next was actually a barbarian with a total level of 12 and another priest of roughly the same level to "single-brush" a ten-level six-person book.

Crazy, standard lunatic behavior.

But behind the arrogance, there is no chance of winning, the relative price is only that the margin for error in the action is extremely limited, so low that a small mistake may pass by the scythe of the god of death, or even directly equate.

The sound of footsteps echoed through the interior of the tunnel, and the frequency of the heartbeat was inseparable in the ears of the two of them.

After about ten minutes or so, as they continued to advance into the dark depths, Urles and Thea noticed that various traces of manual excavation began to appear on the floor of the tunnel and on the rock walls on the left and right sides, such as the relatively flat brick floor and a few simple bronze frescoes.

The young man understood that the entrance gate to the Tomb of the Wraith was approaching. When he realized this, he temporarily stopped his steps, and a faint pale gray glow floated in front of his field of vision, and the strange light soon changed into a vague humanoid outline, and stretched out misty hands to approach him and Xia.

A patrolling ghost will periodically spawn outside the dungeon door of the Tomb of the Wraith.

Low-level ghosts are accustomed to attacking the living by contact, delivering a cold negative energy damage to vital targets through translucent limbs, but their floating speed is always an awkward problem, causing this undead monster with a gloomy aura to be keen on surprise sneak attacks and relatively rejecting frontal forms of conflict.

With the Cleric's emblem of light spelling out the darkness around them, and the narrow cavern tunnels restricting the space for battle, the void monster in the form of a soul that appeared in the eyes of Urs and Thea lacked a lurking shadow, and could only follow the evil nature of the subconscious to launch a slow pounce on the two of them.

Calmly staring at the vague misty ghost, Urs knew that the giant sword he was holding did not have any enchantment level, but was just a tabula rasa weapon with slightly more lethal power, so he didn't have the idea of counterattacking at all in his mind, but immediately prompted the girl next to him: "Xia, cast a small healing spell on that ghost." ”

"What?" The silver-haired priest girl was stunned.

A small cure?

Isn't that a healing artifact?

"You... Are you sure you want me to do that? Her eyes widened hesitantly, her amber eyes showing surprise, and she looked sideways at the young man beside her, wondering if the ears on the top of her head had misheard something.
