Fortunately, the danger was foreseen in advance.

Han Dong stopped only halfway through...... And let Cass investigate deeply.

Otherwise, once you reach the end of the arrival, and then think about escaping, with a body like Han Dong, you can't escape at all.

Although judging from the voice, Kas is still more than 100 meters away from Han Dong, but the situation is still critical.

Chen Li immediately appeared, supported Han Dong, and accelerated to escape from the secret passage......

"Judging by the overlapping number of claws, there are at least three or more ghouls chasing us...... As long as you can escape back to the basement before, there is still a way. ”

With Chen Li's help, Han Dong fled back to the basement first with the running speed of an ordinary person.

"Miss Chen Li, you hurry up and hide...... I'll let you help if you need to. ”

"Okay."

Han Dong stood alone at the door of the secret passage, waiting for Cass to arrive.

Soon.

Cass with a torch in his hand comes into view.

Cass is clearly visible wearing goggles, with a few dark lines around his eye sockets...... It is by the 'visual pollution' that the appearance is revealed.

Behind Cass, there are at least five or more ghouls in different forms.

The light brought by the torch, Han Dong saw the true face of the [Ghoul] for the first time.

It is a humanoid creature with elastic, dark green skin like a rubber skin.

The fangs of the patella protruding and easily chewing bones are exposed.

The curved back bones, partly protruding from the body, cover the musculature of the whole body tightly and strongly.

The skin, teeth, and terrifying claws are covered in a dense black fungus.

Once torn through human skin, it will cause infectious damage instantly.

If the wound is not treated in time, it will immediately suppurate and fester...... Even in a short period of time, death gangrene will occur, and even if he survives, he will have to amputate his limb.

If you look closely, you will also pay attention to a dangerous and undetectable 'detail'.

The surface of these ghouls has several natural wounds that are not very conspicuous.

From time to time, a short tentacle appears on the surface of these wounds, which is extremely strange.

…………

The Ghoul's movement speed is comparable to that of Cass with three Destiny Points invested.

In particular, one of the mature ghouls, which was more than half the size of the other ghouls and had a completely protruding backbone, was even faster.

Its claws can easily scratch even stone walls.

Go faster and even gradually distance yourself from the ghouls behind you during the chase...... It is about to catch up with the young Cass.

The claws have just cut into the surface of the armor on Cass's back.

Rush out of the channel.

For a moment, Cass lost his center of gravity, rushed out of the passage and fell forward and fell to the ground.

Han Dong stuck the time, reached out and touched the switch, and the secret door was closed

Click!

Hit the spot.

The secret door closes to allow the ghouls who rush to the front to escape, while the ghouls behind them are locked in the secret passages.

A stone secret door nearly two meters thick, these ordinary ghouls can't break it......

The ghoul, who was unusually large, measuring two meters in length and had a small linen rag hanging from the surface of his body, seemed to be the one responsible for the incident.

The culprit who killed the hostess.

It didn't care if its companions could keep up, and its black orb eyes locked onto the young Cass Knight...... He must be killed, and the matter of the lair must be hidden.

Claws and fangs.

Pointed straight at Cass's head.

Poop!

The loud sound of metal crashing echoed through the basement.

Cass fell to the ground, but he was in the ...... of his gear at all times Backhand shield swing.

Just the right block to form a "perfect block".

While completely blocking the attack, it also bounces the ghoul a certain distance, giving Cass Knight time to adjust his status.

"Ah~ah!" Just as the ghoul let out a strange roar, ready to take the next attack.

A dangerous green cloud of energy shot straight into the back of the ghoul's head.

Some kind of extremely corrosive plague immediately spread in the back of the head.

Hiss! A sound similar to acid etching fluid corrosion came.

In a short period of time, the plague energy actually corroded a small hole in the skull, which in turn eroded the brain tissue inside...... The effect was even stronger than expected.

This plague ray was naturally released by Han Dong.

When activating the Plague Doctor's Short Blade, Han Dong visibly felt that part of the energy in his brain had been extracted...... Depending on the amount of energy remaining, such an attack can be used about five times.

If it's a newborn ghoul, I'm afraid it's already down to the ground.

But...... The current situation is not so simple.

Seeing that the plague was about to act on the brain, a strange scene appeared.

Short, slender shadow tentacles appear in the ghoul's skull fractures.

The tentacles wriggled and intertwined with each other, neutralizing the plague while repairing the skull.

"Tentacles!? Self-healing! ”

This time, the ghoul has changed its 'target'.

turned his ugly head and looked at Han Dong, who was weak...... Thick saliva mixed with bacteria continues to flow out between the teeth.

Zi~Zi~Zi! (Electromagnetic interference sound)

When the ghoul's black eyes met Han Dong's eyes, a noise similar to electromagnetic interference sounded in his mind...... Something flashed in the ghoul's eyes.

But......

Under such a close look, Han Dong was completely fine.

Unlike Destiny Points, which are a little higher than his Cass.

Han Dong did not suffer from any so-called 'visual pollution', did not have any sensory discomfort, did not have headaches or hallucinations, and did not show any dark streaks near his eye sockets.

Not the role of goggles.

Han Dong faintly felt that even if he didn't wear goggles, there would be no danger.

Of course, visual pollution is secondary...... How to deal with this ghoul is the key.

That's when it happened.

Bang!

A spherical water bomb smashed into the ghoul (i.e., a ball container containing holy water)

Zizizizi! A large amount of white steam rises.

The ghoul rolled wildly on the ground in pain, but it couldn't get close to the knife because of its claws waving wildly.

"Friend Andwa, stand behind me...... A full-fledged ghoul, we can still deal with it. ”

Take advantage of the opportunity to fight for the holy water bomb.

Han Dong immediately stood behind Cass to avoid being left alone.

"Just look for your chances and attack from a distance like you did earlier!

[Ghoul] is a low-level monster, in terms of physical structure, it still can't be separated from the category of humans, you are an occultist, you should know better than me...... Just aim for their head and heart. ”

"Hmm."

Say it!

Cass assumed a battle stance.

Hold a shield in your left hand and stand in front of you.

Hold the sword in your right hand and stick it behind the shield.

Such a posture seems to have a special significance......

"Crusader Force"

For a moment, a faint silver light faintly overflowed around the blonde-haired and silver-armored Cass.

There was even a faint cross mark on the forehead.

Similar to a temporary amplification ability.

Ghouls corrupted by holy water regenerate again in a short period of time...... And the whole is already in a state of anger, and there is a little black smoke spilling out between the black pupils

Pounce.

It is bound to crush Cass to pieces.

…………

"Hoo ......"

Breathe deeply.

The center of gravity sinks.

The moment the ghoul pounced, Cass's forehead swelled, and his hind legs slammed into the ground, pouring all his strength into his shield-wielding left arm.

"Shield Slam"

Bang dang! (muffled metal crash)

The ghoul, which was more than two meters tall, was knocked out by Cass with a shield.

"It's so heavy...... It's a bit of a stretch. ”

Cass held back the tremor in his arm.

Retract your shield and dash forward.

The moment the ghoul landed, he swung his silver sword.

"Cross Slash"

Everywhere the silver ray went, the ghoul's flesh was completely sliced open.

The black heart hidden under the ribs is clearly visible!
