Act IX Bloodline (I)

The dark underground space always feels oppressive, and there is not much lighting in the black cavern. The only thing that can be called bright is perhaps the torch that the paladin holds in his hand. It was only when the paladin stood at the front of the wave of ghouls with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, that the torch was also picked up by Miss Priest. The priest girl named 'Isengard' held a torch in one hand while preparing for the next magic in the other.

Retracting his gaze from his teammate, a vague incantation echoed around his lips, and then, a ball of blue light came out of his hand and landed on the tallest ghoul. Avis withdrew his staff, and then raised one of his light crossbows at the roaring necromancer. At the same time, the young mage also pouted slightly: "Is it only illuminated by 2 damage...... "The first-level mage lacks enough spell slots and winning spells, so the early mage is not strong at all.

The ghoul's eyes had turned red by this time, and it might have been a famous nobleman in front of it, but by this time it had long since lost its life, leaving only an instinctive hatred for the living. It roared and slowly lowered its body, as if ready to rush forward and tear Ives to shreds!

Soon, the ghoul moved. It used its hands and feet together, and its body crawled on the ground for a while. And Ives had already aimed the enchanted arrow in the crossbow at the ghoul, and then shot it! The ghoul roared angrily, losing 7 HP, and just as the ghoul was about to rush in front of Avis, a neutral voice rang out in the underground space.

"For the sake of ...... Mora's Glory! ”

The brilliance of the holy white burst out on Elijah's body, Ilya actually added the magic of 'divine grace' to herself at this time, and her various attributes have been greatly increased, when the ghoul in front of him ran quickly in front of Elijah, Ilya's giant sword had already given the ghoul a heavy blow head-on.

'Professional specialty, cross swordplay. ’

Ilya is supposed to be a fourth-level paladin with a rudimentary mastery of melee combat. For example, this cross sword technique is a fairly classic paladin specialty. Its potency maximizes damage on next hits, gains +3 hits, and grants 1 to 4 Holy Light damage.

While the ghoul was repulsed, Ilya stepped forward and unleashed the 'Undead', and finally Ives added a crossbow bolt. The ghoul finally fell to the ground, losing all breath.

The battle started quickly and ended quickly. Although Mondo and Ives are a little at odds, his strength is undoubted. Each swing of the two-handed sword takes away a ghoul. And he stood at the forefront of the ranks, withstanding the onslaught of many ghouls without a shield. If Ives hadn't miscalculated, Mondo would have reached level 5 and gained the warrior specialty's 'Mortal Tenacity' - increased health by 1o points and gained +3 improvement in tenacity judgment. Avis couldn't help but sigh, this is simply a sturdy blood cow!

Among the rest of the people, none of them had reached level five to obtain the mortal specialty, but they also cooperated tacitly to eliminate the ghouls one by one. During this time, Ives also unleashed a Zero Ring Trick Light Spell, which illuminated the entire battlefield for a short time, providing the archer with a good view. Eventually, all the ghouls fell to the ground, and Avis, with a stench of corpses, came to the flamboyantly dressed ghoul. Ordinary ghouls naturally don't have much good equipment, but if this ghoul was a nobleman in his lifetime, it would be a different matter, according to Avis's experience in the game, such ghouls will always have some good things on them.

Ilya and the others, who knew that he was searching for loot, did not stop him, but the two ladies took a half step back in disgust, which made Ives somewhat embarrassed.

Eventually, Ives found a small tattered charm from the ghoul nobleman's body. Although he didn't have a memory identification technique, Avis's 'knowledge' skills as a mage helped him identify the charm's attributes.

Kobold Amulet:

Equipment ability: Can perform a kobold summoning spell to summon 1d4 kobolds.

"Summon the kobold! Here, a fist at this vicious dog! What the? Why are you running? - Goblin merchant Mohd.

The corners of Avis's mouth twitched slightly. Kobolds? You mean the kobold who challenges level 1, wins purely by numbers, and even collapses due to morale issues when numbers are dominant? It would be nice if you could summon a team of kobolds, but it turned out that this amulet could only summon 1 to 4 kobolds. It can only be said that talk is better than nothing...... Avis looked at the amulet and sighed softly.

"Well, what loot did you find?" Ilya said curiously. After Aives introduced the talisman in his hand, Ilya was also a little different: "Summoning this number of kobolds...... Nothing useful, right? ”

But in the end they didn't say much, and it was better to have an amulet than nothing.

Avis and the others didn't rest for long, and then they set out on the road again.

The dark environment continued, and Avis and the others encountered some monsters on the way, but the appearance of these ghouls became more and more strange. It's not that they're mutating, it's that they're getting closer and closer to humans. Some of these characters, who were clearly noble, also became ghouls. After killing another bunch of ghouls, Avis examined the corpses of the ghouls, and finally he stood up with a solemn face.

"What's wrong?" Ilya looked at Avis curiously. The corners of Avis's mouth twitched slightly, and finally said, "It seems that among our enemies...... Save zài a vampire. ”

"Vampires?!" Everyone present looked at Avis in amazement. Avis nodded and said, "These guys...... He was sucked up of all his blood and died. They can also be counted as vampire derivatives in a sense...... Of course, there is still some wisdom in the real vampire derivation, and these guys are just failures who have awakened their bloodthirsty instincts. So we got a little bit wrong from the beginning......" Ives cracked open the mouth of a corpse, pulled a fanged out of its mouth, and tossed it aside, "These guys aren't ghouls." ”

Ilya's face isn't very good-looking, vampire...... Or call them Bloods, these guys live in the shadows, and any vampire has the power to wipe out their team. Ilya was silent and did not speak, while Mondo clapped his hands in annoyance: "So what do we do next?" Why don't you go back...... I don't think ten diggers are enough for vampires to feel powerless. ”

"It's all here." Avis stood up directly, "The vampire must have appeared with us. Do you think there's still a chance we won't get caught up in it? Now we have to think not about how to escape, but about how to bury it. ”

"Vampires are hard to kill." Ilya shook her head and said, "Unless you stab them directly into their hearts, or expose them directly to the sun...... If that doesn't work, you can throw them into running water. But which one can we meet now? ”

Avis thought for a moment, and finally spoke, "What if...... If there's only one vampire, I might still have a way to kill it. ”

……

The black space was still so monotonous, and knowing that there might be a vampire among their enemies, everyone present did not dare to relax in any form. But I don't know if it's because this vampire wants to taste the thrill of catching a mouse, and they haven't been attacked a single decent one so far. Mondo even wondered if Ives was being too careful. But Ives didn't show any relief, and they continued on their way, and after a while, they had to stop-

There is no road ahead.

Looking at the enclosed stone space in front of him, Mondo couldn't help but curse and said, "What should I do now?" How do we move forward? ”

Avis's eyes scanned around and said, "There should be a mechanism here, let's look for it." Then Avis's gaze searched the stone slabs around him. Mondo said with some annoyance, "Are you sure it's not because we're going a fork in the road?" ”

"There's only one way down from above, and it's a little difficult for you to fork the road." "And, if you pay a little attention to the walls here, you'll see that there's a clear sign of friction—and then it's obvious that there's a secret door." Avis said as he banged on the wall. Eventually, he found a somewhat raised stone. After removing the stones, there was now a small cave in front of Avis. Avis reached in curiously, and then his face turned a little bad - he felt like he was in the house of some slug, and there was some sticky mucus near his hand. Holding back his nausea, he touched a raised stone. After pressing the stone, there was a roar from the stone wall in front of them.

Then, the door opened.
