Chapter 12: Ghouls of the Third Degree
After a roar of ghouls around him, more ghouls rushed towards Locke's location.
Ghouls are worthy of being undead creatures who are good at speed, and Locke's speed is no slower than that of a third-level skeleton warrior after being strengthened by his bones, but these second-level ghouls can still keep up with Locke's speed.
As he retreated, Locke suddenly sensed a clattering sound in front of him and to his left. It's the sound of a ghoul landing as it jumps, and the sparse sound shows that the ghoul is faster this time.
In the blink of an eye, there were two more ghouls in front of Locke.
Level 3 ghouls, and two more. There is no doubt that the two new ghouls are third-level undead creatures that are only one step away from the intermediate undead creatures.
The speed of a third-level ghoul is comparable to that of an intermediate skeleton warrior.
"Whew...... Whoa......" Two howls rang out.
Locke only felt as if the fire of his soul had been struck by a heavy hammer, and it was crumbling.
The howl of a first-level ghoul can only be used as a way to call a companion, and the howl of a second-level ghoul has attack power, of course, the howl of a second-level ghoul is not very lethal to a first-level undead creature, so Locke has not been affected before. However, the howl of a third-level ghoul was several times stronger than that of a second-level ghoul, so Locke felt a wave of discomfort.
Ghouls are not undead mages, and the Necro Howl, which is able to cast undead magic attacks against soul fire, is also due to its unique racial talent.
By the time Locke had just recovered from his trance, two powerful ghoul claws had already taken the opportunity to catch him. Affected by the ghoul's howl, Locke simply didn't have time to resist or even react in any other way.
With two clicks, the bones on Locke's body were instantly broken and broken.
Although the opponent only had a third-level strength, and Locke's bones were already as hard as a fourth-level skeleton warrior, Locke, who could not resist, was still injured by this blow.
A stronger body is only an advantage in one aspect, and it is not immune to attacks from lower-level beings. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the former Locke to defeat the second-level skeleton warrior with his first-level strength.
Locke and the two third-level ghouls were separated at the same time. The strength of the third-level ghoul howl frightened Locke, and it can even be said that its ghoul howl restrained Locke the most. Although Locke has a strong combat power of the third level and a strong skeleton of the fourth level, the soul fire is only one level.
And if there are other third-level existences, it will be much easier to face the howl of the ghoul of the third-level ghoul, at most it can only be affected by a little bit, and it is impossible to be in a trance like Locke, and in the face of its physical attack, there is no time to react, and there is no power to resist.
If it weren't for the fact that Locke had devoured a second-level ghoul soul fire before, which had increased his soul fire several times, and his ability to withstand ghoul spirit attack magic was comparable to that of second-level undead creatures, it was just a ghoul howl from a third-level ghoul that made Locke completely lose the power to resist.
"Run. After a touch, Locke had only one thought in his mind.
Because of his powerful skeletal body, Locke somewhat ignored the danger of low-level undead creatures in the Undead World.
Locke's strength far exceeded the level, but this time he encountered a low-level undead creature in the Undead World Realm who happened to restrain Locke.
Locke believed that if he encountered other third-level undead creatures with pure physical attacks, such a dangerous situation would not occur.
At this time, although Locke had a broken bone in his body, his limbs were still intact, and his combat power was still not affected.
After making up his mind to flee, Locke fled in the direction where there were fewer ghouls with the sound of his soul's senses.
However, the speed of those second-level ghouls itself is not slower than Locke's, even if Locke has the heart to get rid of it, he can't get rid of it, and several second-level ghouls still follow Locke closely. Locke's speed was only enough to get rid of the undead ghouls who were only level 1.
The two third-level ghouls were not surprised to see that their blows did not cause much results, because they had already learned that this skeleton warrior had previously killed a second-level ghoul of their own clan.
However, the ghoul was able to judge that his strength was above that of this skeleton warrior, so naturally he would not let him escape, and immediately jumped and chased after Locke.
Soon catching up with Locke, the third-level ghoul howled again, and Locke's soul fire was once again in a trance due to a strong impact. This time, the target of the ghoul's attack was Locke's arm bones.
Of course, the low-level undead creature ghoul is also not very intelligent, and the reason why it attacked Locke's arm bones was only purely encountered.
With a click, Locke's arm bones were also broken by the ghoul's attack.
Although it didn't break or fall, it couldn't use the upper force anymore.
And there are not only two third-level ghouls around, but also seven or eight second-level ghouls. Under the influence of the Howl of a Level 3 Ghoul, even a Level 2 Ghoul is able to threaten Locke, inflicting fatal damage on Locke.
Under the howl of the third-level ghouls, the second-level ghouls who tracked down Locke also howled one by one and pounced towards Locke's location.
Low-level undead creatures, although they know that Lu Daolok's strength is not weak, and they have killed a second-level strength companion before, they will not be afraid. Lower wisdom also has lower benefits, and although the rule in the Undead realm is that the weak submit to the stronger, the weaker beings dare to fight against the unrivaled beings when they are stimulated or otherwise influenced. Overwhelm a powerful existence with quantity, and even if it can't hurt a powerful being, it can affect the other party.
Locke also looked a little more panicked after losing an arm, because it had affected Locke's strength.
At this time, Locke can be said to have almost fallen into a desperate situation.
If these two Level 3 ghouls perform another Ghoul Howl, Locke may fall under siege by several Ghouls.
However, Ghoul Howl is a psychic type of undead attack magic. Every time you cast it, it will also consume a lot of mental power. The higher the level of the ghoul, the more powerful the Ghoul Howl will be, and there is no fixed level of this magic, depending on the caster's strength.
And the Ghoul Howl cast by the third-level ghoul is naturally also a third-level spiritual undead attack magic. A third-level spirit attacks the undead magic, and the third-level undead creature naturally cannot be used indefinitely, and even can only be cast once or twice in a short period of time, and the spiritual power will be consumed in large quantities, and it cannot be continued to be cast.
Locke waved a one-arm to fend off the opportunistic attacks of several second-tier ghouls.
Sensing that the two powerful third-level ghouls were not continuing to howl, Locke breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
During the battle, Locke simply didn't have time to perform bone alchemy and repair a broken bone arm.
Of course, it wasn't just the second-level ghouls who attacked Locke, there were also two third-level ghouls. Although the opponent did not continue to cast the ghoul howl, he did not relax his attack on Locke.
Dealing with so many ghoul attacks with one arm, Locke also felt a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, there is a huge gap between Locke's bone strength and that of a second-level ghoul. Therefore, as long as those second-level ghouls do not happen to hit Locke's bones or fractures, they will not cause too much damage to Locke.
Of course, the biggest effect of these ghouls is not the damage they inflict on Locke, but the restriction on Locke's siege and his dexterous dodge speed. With the cooperation of these second-order ghouls, the third-order ghouls also brought more damage to Locke.
And the speed of the third-level ghoul is still above Locke, although its strength and physical strength are not as good as Locke, it is difficult for Locke to hit the opponent.
The world's martial arts, invincible, only fast and unbreakable, is a portrayal of the battle scene between Locke and many ghouls at this time.
