Saljan originally hoped that Artumen could directly capture Moros, use the high mobility of the undead warhorse Midnight to break through the siege, and efficiently relieve Moros of mind control.

However, the iron Hanhan of Atumen has obviously not been able to adapt to the current undead body, and still retains the habitual thinking of being a human.

For the living, being choked in the neck basically means losing the ability to resist, because the lack of oxygen to the brain will cause the body to gradually weaken.

However, Moros, like Artumen, had long since become an undead, and the weakness of the living meant nothing to him.

Fortunately, Salian had an eye ahead of time, and he didn't see Artumen rushing out of the restaurant on horseback at the scheduled time, and he immediately realized that the plan had changed.

After Sarren and Khadgar hurriedly stepped into the banquet hall on the second floor, the ghosts of the nobles who were still dancing happily immediately revealed their hideous side.

Leaving Khadgar to block these miscellaneous fish with weak combat effectiveness, Sarian broke through the encirclement as fast as he could, just in time to see Artumen, who had been stabbed twice in the waist, let out an exaggerated scream.

That's right, screaming, not screaming, because the undead don't have a pain system at all in most cases.

It is only when they are attacked directly by the soul that they can truly appreciate what pain is.

Sarian was not surprised that he failed to subdue the agile Moros in one move, after all, Moros was a thief, and he had already received a hint from the barrage.

Angry at Atumen, Saljan was fully energized for the first time since arriving in Karazhan.

At the same time as Moros was attacked, the six high-level elite ghosts who were originally talking around him also took a fighting posture at the same time.

Moros himself is a thief, and he uses most of his Rogue skills, except for Esoteric abilities such as Shadow Dance, Slaying Flourish, and Crimson Blade.

The 6 ghost retinues surrounding Moros are fully professional.

Lady Caterina is a priest specializing in healing spells, and Lady Koyina is a Holy Specialty Paladin who is also responsible for healing and supporting.

In addition, there is the Dark Shepherd Lady Dolohi, the Weapon Battle Duke Robin, the Punishment Rider Baron, and finally the Defense War Duke Crispin who is responsible for protecting his teammates.

This seven-person team has a clear division of labor, and as soon as Sarren entered, Duke Crispin consciously raised his shield to block in front of the other teammates.

If it was one-on-one, Sarjan could crush it with absolute strength and easily defeat Duke Crispin, who was only more than 40 levels.

However, just as Sarren raised the Staff of Balance and was about to force back Duke Crispin, who was at the front, the other ghosts activated by Attumen in advance cooperated and launched an attack first.

Salian had been prepared for this, and seeing that he couldn't get the first move, he immediately took a step back and dodged the spells and weapons that attacked him one after another.

The staff of balance, which was freely retracted, was transformed into a bracelet, and Sarian took out the forbidden orb from his waist.

"Buzz!"

With the activation of the forbidden orb, the Dark Shepherd Dorohi, the Divine Shepherd Katerina, and the Divine Rider Koyinla, who were originally holding the staff and chanting words, were all dumbfounded.

Without the assistance of the three major supports, it is much easier to deal with it with just one meat shield and three kitchen knives.

Duke Crispin, who was at the forefront, didn't need to use such a thing as mana, and was completely unaware of his companion's predicament.

Seeing that Sarren suddenly became empty-handed, he thought that the opportunity to counterattack had come, and he was ready to shoot a shield blow at Sarren's face with his shield.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry about it yet."

While his left hand was back on his waist, Sarjan used the strength he had learned from Master Shang Xi on Lost Island to smash his right fist into the shield that Duke Crispin had put on top of him at close range.

Due to the disparity in strength between them, the first-mover Sarlian defended and attacked Duke Crispin several steps back, just exposing Duke Robin and Baron Love, who were raising their weapons and planning to take advantage of the opportunity to attack.

At this time, Sarjan was unable to change his posture for the time being because of his old attack effect.

However, he also prepared for it in advance, and in the interval between the catastrophe and the recombination of the newborn bracelet into a staff, fine golden dragon scales appeared on the surface of Saljan's body.

"Bell! Clang! ”

After two successive cracks like metal clashing, the weapons that Baron Love and Duke Robin had slashed at Sarren's neck and forehead, respectively, were flicked off.

Because of the reaction force, the two members of the kitchen knife team who were caught off guard were affected by the flicking knife and unconsciously stumbled backwards.

At the same time, Moros teleported behind Saljan with a shadow step, aiming at the back of his heart and stabbing two poisonous daggers.

With a level 52 Rogue rating, Moros is the most threatening of the seven people present, and his attacks can break through the dragon's scales and damage Sarren's flesh.

The chill from behind him didn't make Sarian stop his move, he just twisted his upper body slightly, and let the two poisonous daggers graze the dragon scales into the air.

After dodging Moros' deadly assault, Sarjan swung his Balance Staff to sweep away Duke Crispin, who had not yet finished his stance, temporarily breaking through the protection of his teammates from this annoying meat shield.

The invincible Sarjan took advantage of the situation and stabbed the head of the staff at Baron Love, who had just gained his footing.

Although Baron Love reacted quickly and tried to block with his broad two-handed weapons across his chest, the difference in strength between them objectively existed after all.

Although Baron Love avoided being pierced through the heart by the staff of balance with the power of death, the sheer force attached to the staff's head still pushed him back several steps.

Seeing that his teammates were in an urgent situation, the paladin Keyina, who had not yet gotten rid of the forbidden effect, hurriedly rushed up with his shield to try to save the scene.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Sarian once again turned his head to avoid Moros's pursuit of Wei Wei to save Zhao, and at the same time picked up his right leg and kicked Ke Yinla, who lacked strength, with the whip leg power technique of a warrior monk.

Compared to Ko Yinla, who can still lift a shield and a one-handed hammer to play a bit of entanglement, the two priests with different specialties can only stand behind and watch stupidly once they lose their ability to cast spells.

They watched as Duke Robin was punched in the face, and the force was so great that it even deformed his soul, completely exposing the two priests hiding in the back.

Sarian didn't rush to deal with the two weak chickens who had lost their combat effectiveness first, but just put on a sheep attack posture, in fact, his attention had already turned to Moros, the butler who was still frantically outputting behind him.

Seeing that Salian was going to take advantage of the victory and continue to send the two spellcasters away, Moros attacked with all his might without thinking, trying to force Saljan to turn around and return to defense.

His purpose was achieved, but not completely.

"Walk you!"

Sarrian, who had already calculated, retracted his staff of balance and threw out a return pistol, but Moros, who had not expected this move, was caught off guard by the sharp tail of the staff and pierced through the chest, and was picked up by Sarian in mid-air and unable to escape.

"Roar!"

With the roar of the dragon temporarily intimidating several ghosts who were each wounded and planning to continue the pursuit, Sarian provoked Moros to take a heroic leap outside the restaurant, and then immediately selected Khadgar, who was still unleashing a widespread blizzard to clean up the ghosts of the nobles, to send reinforcements.

As soon as he jumped out of the restaurant, Sarren withdrew the power of the forbidden orb without causing any effect on Khadgar, who was in control.

"That's it, let's withdraw one layer first!"

Khadgar faithfully carried out Sarren's plan, precisely controlling the intensity of the blizzard, and only controlling and not killing.

After all, some of these ghosts will later become a bargaining chip for Khadgar to fight the demons who have taken over the upper echelons of Karazhin.

Leaving behind the ghost, which was slowed down by the blizzard and unable to move, Athimen, who had been guerrilla on the edge to protect Khadgar's flank, quickly turned his horse's head and followed closely behind Sarean and Khadgar, and returned to the first floor down the stairs.

"Khadgar!"

"Leave it to me!"

Returning to the pre-function hall on the first floor, Khadgar immediately turned to summon his mana, his eyes glowing with a faint blue glow under the influence of soaring arcane energy.

"Freeze it!"

"Kaka!"

A solid wall of ice rises between the stairs connecting the first and second floors, and Sarjan also attaches the power of death to the ice wall to prevent the ghosts from passing through the wall, which can be regarded as temporarily blocking the large number of ghosts that swarm in.

"Very well, that's my job next."

"Bang!"

The fist wrapped in a little death power smashed on the head of Moros, who was still struggling alive and vigorous, and the old butler, whose soul was greatly shaken, finally settled down.

Not bothering to remove him from his staff, Salaan reached out and pressed Moros's forehead, just as Artumen had done then, and the same technique he had done to dispel the mental hints left by Medivan.

"Hmm!"

Unsurprisingly, Moros, like Artumen, continued to be affected by psychic suggestion spells largely by voluntariness.

What Salaan needs to do is puncture Morros's dream of expecting everything to be the same, so that he can wake up and face the real world of Medivan's "afterlife".

As the spell broke, the aggressiveness in Moros's eyes quickly faded, and he looked around a little dazedly as he had just woken up.

"I'm ...... Atumen? And Master Khadgar? ”

Pumping out a large amount of mana to condense the ice wall at once, Khadgar, who felt a little prostration, wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead and waved his hand to Moros with a smile.

"It's been a long time, Moros, and it's a shame you still recognize me."

"Heh~"

Moros shook his head and smiled, puffing up his chest proudly.

"Although your appearance has changed a lot, your words and deeds are still the same, how can I, as the butler of Karazan, not recognize the inheritor of this Guardian Tower."

"Hey~"

After a conversation with Khadgar, Moros, who had regained his senses, probably guessed something.

"The host...... He's supposed to be dead, right? Me and Atumen...... Even all those who stayed in Karazhan in the first place were the same. ”
