"[Soul Hook]?"
Su Xuan stared at the entry for [Soul Hook], a trace of confusion in his mind. ’Lure an undead soul? How would I do that?’
’Oh well, at least it’s a useful trait.’
As he was thinking, his gaze shifted to the corpse of the Giant Ghoul.
Although it hadn’t moved since the battle began, Su Xuan knew full well that this was the source of the Demon Cave. The Necromancer was merely its puppet.
"Let’s just use Divine Magic to completely destroy it," Su Xuan suggested to Ivsha.
"Mm."
Ivsha nodded and immediately began chanting her Magic.
In an instant, several Golden Magic Arrays appeared around the Giant Ghoul, transforming into sturdy Golden Chains that sealed it tight.
Then, ten massive Golden Holy Swords emerged from the Magic Arrays, taking aim at the Giant Ghoul.
However, just as the Holy Swords were about to fall, the Giant Ghoul’s body suddenly trembled violently, shaking off the sand and gravel covering it.
"Don’t even think about it!"
Ivsha decisively activated her Magic, and the Golden Holy Swords instantly plummeted, piercing straight into the Giant Ghoul’s body.
"ROAR!" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
The purification of the Divine Magic made the Giant Ghoul let out a world-shaking roar. Its pitch-black skin was now stained a shade of dark green.
At the same time, Su Xuan was amazed to find that the Giant Ghoul’s Level was rising rapidly! Its detailed information panel was also changing quickly.
[Giant Ghoul * Necromancer (Epic)]
Level: 49 (0/24500)
Race: ?
Power: 700 / Agility: 680 / Magic Power: 620 / Physique: 690

"?"
Su Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly. ’Has the Necromancer’s soul merged with the Giant Ghoul’s corpse?’
In the instant he was pondering this, a hoarse and deep roar, like muffled thunder, erupted from the Giant Ghoul’s mouth.
"I told you! Everything you do is futile! I have already sacrificed my soul to a Demon! The Lord of the Undead will be with us for eternity!"
As it spoke, the Giant Ghoul violently broke free from the Golden Chains. The Golden Giant Swords that had pierced its body also shattered at that moment, dissolving into specks of light that vanished into the air.
Although the Giant Ghoul’s All Attributes were inferior to the previous Flame Demon Vigil, and it didn’t have the Immortal Fire to provide endless regeneration, Su Xuan’s side also lacked the frontal charge of 50 Knights.
A vicious battle seemed unavoidable!
Fortunately, Ivsha and Lucia both had the Divine Attribute, making them the fatal bane of the Undead!!
"You foolish ants, prepare to meet your doom!"
Amidst the Giant Ghoul’s roars, swarms of low-level Ghouls burrowed out from underground, quickly surrounding Su Xuan and the others. At the same time, the Giant Ghoul opened its cavernous, bloody maw, its ferocious expression revealing its intent to tear everyone present to shreds.
"Rosaline, we have to find a way to hold them off!" Su Xuan said decisively as he put on the Blazing Demon Helmet. They had to create a safe environment for Lucia and Ivsha to chant their Magic. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Although Su Xuan’s combat power was limited, he was more than capable of dealing with a low-level Ghoul. However, only Rosaline could effectively hold back the Giant Ghoul. If it got close to Ivsha and the Elf Sisters, it would pose a grave threat to them.
"Understood!"
Rosaline nodded firmly, raised the Oath Sword in her hand, and aimed it at the Giant Ghoul that threatened them all. At the same time, the water spirit on her body began to glow faintly, clearly ready for battle.
"Go and fight without worry. Leave the rest to me."
Just then, Lucia gripped her Sun Staff and waved it gently. In an instant, a golden light enveloped everyone, bringing them endless power and courage.
[You have received Lucia’s Blessing of Light: All Attributes +50, Dark Resistance +20%! (1h)]
[Your Adventurer Rosaline...]
Lucia’s party-wide buff brought a flash of delight to Su Xuan’s eyes. The Holy Maiden not only possessed powerful Light Magic but could also provide buffs for the team, making her truly versatile!
The boost to All Attributes made Su Xuan brim with fighting spirit!
"Engage!"
Su Xuan shouted, pulling out his exclusive weapon—the Thunderfire Staff. He knew that relying solely on Attribute boosts was not enough; rich combat experience was just as crucial.
Taking a deep breath, Su Xuan gripped his Thunderfire Staff and resolutely launched a heroic one-on-one challenge against one of the Ghouls!
"President, you can do it!" Beiya Fuli cheered for Su Xuan from the rear.
"Sister, stop just cheering! The Ghouls are getting closer, cast your Magic already!" Beira Furo urged.
"Oh, okay!"
The Elf Sisters immediately began to chant their Magic, preparing to face the rapidly approaching Ghoul Legion.
"Don’t worry, I’ll do everything I can to protect you!" Alice gripped her Big Scissors, resolutely standing in front of the Elf Sisters to block the Ghouls trying to get close.
At the same time, Ivsha successfully finished her incantation, and a torrential wave of magical energy surged forth. A Golden phantom of a Nun exploded in the center of the Ghoul Legion. After a deafening blast, the lives of a group of Ghouls were instantly snuffed out.
But the most critical fight was undoubtedly still the duel between Rosaline and the Giant Ghoul.
Rosaline unfurled her brilliant Soul Light Wings and flew nimbly through the air, skillfully maneuvering around the Giant Ghoul. Although her Attributes were far lower than the behemoth’s, preventing a direct confrontation, she used her agile flight skills and calm combat intellect to constantly search for an opening.
"Foolish ant! Die!" the Giant Ghoul roared, swiping its sharp claws fiercely at Rosaline.
CLANG! CLANG!
Amidst the deafening sound of impact, Rosaline gripped her Oath Sword and successfully blocked the fatal blow. However, the powerful impact sent her flying backward like a cannonball.
In that hair-raising moment, Rosaline stabilized herself with her Soul Light Wings. She took advantage of the momentum and swung her Sword, unleashing a Sword Aura like bright moonlight that slashed down toward the Giant Ghoul.
Faced with Rosaline’s High-tier Sword Technique, the Giant Ghoul was forced to take a defensive stance. However, Su Xuan noticed that although Rosaline’s Sword Technique was powerful, it was still somewhat lacking against the Level 49 Giant Ghoul and couldn’t deal a fatal blow.
’Looks like I need to find some more powerful Skills to increase their combat strength,’ Su Xuan muttered to himself.
Su Xuan recalled that a Super-tier Skill Book cost nearly a hundred Gold Coins in the shop...
Before long, the Ghoul Legion was wiped out by Ivsha and the others, and Su Xuan himself managed to slay a total of two Ghouls with his exquisite Swordsmanship!
Now, only the Giant Ghoul remained. Against Rosaline, who possessed the Soul Light Wings, the Giant Ghoul was completely helpless, merely wasting its stamina in vain.
"Damn it! Damn it! You ant!" the Giant Ghoul roared furiously. It had never expected that even after completing the Soul Transfer Ceremony, it still couldn’t defeat this group of Adventurers.
"Get away!"
The Giant Ghoul bellowed, releasing immense power from its entire body. A terrifying tornado of Dark Green Magic Power instantly formed, sweeping across the battlefield.
This terrifying aura forced everyone to retreat. Only Rosaline stood resolutely in front of the Giant Ghoul, doing her utmost to prevent it from getting near the other Guild members.
"You’re not getting past me!" Rosaline decisively swung her sword, fiercely chopping at the Giant Ghoul’s head.
Faced with this swift attack, the Giant Ghoul quickly raised its right arm, forcibly blocking the sword.
However, in that split second, the Giant Ghoul suddenly noticed that Rosaline’s aura was not that of a human, but an Undead!
"So you’re an Undead?" A look of ecstasy appeared on the Giant Ghoul’s face. "The heavens are truly on my side! Since you’re an Undead, your power should belong to me!"
As soon as it finished speaking, a wisp of a soul appeared above the Giant Ghoul’s head—it was the Necromancer who had already died.
After sacrificing his soul to the Demon, he had become a part of the Giant Ghoul.
"Undead! Submit to me! The Lord of Death is with you!" the Necromancer’s soul let out a sinister laugh, releasing its Power of the Soul in an attempt to control Rosaline’s every move with Necromancy.
However, faced with the Necromancer’s corruption, Rosaline merely frowned, seemingly unaffected.
"Huh? How can this be?" The Necromancer was stunned to see that this Undead, Rosaline, was completely immune to his control.
He couldn’t understand. As a long-renowned Necromancer, his Necromancy could affect enemy Undead, and he could even strip low-level Undead of their free will.
But!
Why was his Necromancy completely useless against the Undead before him?
It wasn’t just a matter of control; it hadn’t had the slightest effect at all!
’What’s going on?’
In response, Rosaline simply tilted her head, her face etched with confusion.
’Is he trying to control me?’
’How foolish!’
’How could an Oath Knight blessed by the White Rose possibly have her mind influenced by a Necromancer?’
’What’s more!’
’Her Loyalty to Su Xuan is unshakable!’
Just then, Lucia’s voice rang in Rosaline’s ear: "I have infused your Oath Sword with the Blessing of Light. Your next strike will contain the power of destruction!"
Upon hearing this, a determined glint flashed in Rosaline’s eyes.
The Soul Light Wings on her back vibrated gently. As her body retreated, the Oath Sword in her hand burst forth with a brilliant golden light!
"Die!"
As this cold word fell, a sword strike carrying the Power of Light fiercely chopped toward the Giant Ghoul’s head.
The ferocious strike was too fast for the Giant Ghoul to dodge, and it was cleaved in two, along with the Necromancer’s soul floating above its head!
"AHH!"
A bloodcurdling scream tore through the sky, and a system notification appeared in Su Xuan’s vision.
[Successfully killed the Giant Ghoul. Gained EXP +10,000, Contribution Points +70!]
The moment the Giant Ghoul fell, a Dark Green core burst out from its body.
It was the Demon Cave Core!
"Quick, destroy it!" Su Xuan quickly commanded the Guild members to attack the Demon Cave Core.
Ivsha began to chant her Magic. A golden phantom of a Nun slowly appeared, then charged violently toward the Demon Cave Core.
With a deafening boom, the Demon Cave Core shattered!
[Successfully destroyed the Demon Cave Core. Gained Contribution Points +300!]
"Done! Let’s go back!"
After dealing with the Demon Cave here, Su Xuan immediately left.
After they left, the Players outside finally arrived, but by the time they reached the scene, the battle was long over.
"What’s the situation?"
"How is the Demon Cave Core already destroyed?"
"What the hell? Was it that Player from before?"
"It has to be him! How is that guy so strong!"
"He must be a big shot from a C-Level Guild or higher!"
...
As soon as Su Xuan returned to the Guild, he quickly submitted the quest.
[Gold Coins +3, EXP +30,000!] (+50%)
[Obtained Item: Soul Crystal Ball (Elite)]
Seeing the rewards, Su Xuan couldn’t help but smile. Lucia’s Authority of Affluence had directly boosted the quest rewards by 50%!
’This is fantastic!’
Then, with a thought, he took out the Soul Crystal Ball, wanting to get a closer look.
A crystal ball emanating a deep purple light appeared in Su Xuan’s hand.
[Soul Crystal Ball (Rare): A crystal ball that can detect and imprison souls. Contains one imprisoned soul.]
’A soul?’ A glint flashed in Su Xuan’s eyes. He hadn’t expected the Soul Crystal Ball to actually contain an imprisoned soul.
[Red Dragon Soul (Female): Converse with her?]
’A Red Dragon Soul!?’
"Yes."
Su Xuan was just about to start a conversation with her and ask why she was imprisoned in the crystal ball, but she pleaded anxiously:
"Please! I’m begging you! Save my child!"
