Chapter 77: 077 Shadow Ghosts
Translator: 549690339
Pink City, Arena!
With Dean McKenzie entering the Duel Arena, the arena was sealed off, and Princess Pig Elisa moved towards a side passage.
Seeing the murderous princess, the maid pig instantly understood what she was going to do and hurriedly deterred, “Princess, don’t, you can’t do this, it’s not the time yet, you have to endure…”
“Scram!”
The maid pig had just spoken two sentences when the princess pig, who had previously been gentle as jade in front of Dean McKenzie, erupted, pushing the maid pig out several tens of meters, then walked into the passage.
Inside the passage, Princess Pig saw three pigmen.
One was the manager of the Arena, one was the pigman who had previously attacked Dean McKenzie, and one was a pigman dressed in shining gold.
The three pigs were led by the golden pig.
He looked at Elisa, who walked in alone, with a perverted smirk on his face, and directly cut to the chase, “Princess, I think you don’t want that human to leave the Duel Arena…”
“Do you know why I didn’t get off the carriage when you had Dean McKenzie attacked last time?”
The princess cut him off.
Although he was somewhat dumbfounded, he went along with the princess pig’s topic.
“Why? Afraid that if you come out to protect him, I’ll really kill him!”
“No, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist killing you like I’m doing now!”
With a lift of her round pink head, Elisa said, the glow on her body shifted and she transformed from a pig into a human.
The next second, a bloody and brutal scene played out in the passage.
When the maid pig rushed in trying to stop her, everything was already too late.
The heads of the three pigmen had already been twisted off.
Standing in front of the three bloody corpses was a petite, pure black figure.
“It’s too late, I’m late!”
Seeing the three severed heads, the maid pig’s face paled in an instant.
At the same time, elsewhere.
As Dean McKenzie stepped into the Duel Arena, the shocking change erupted instantly.
Dean McKenzie’s system prompt also refreshed in front of his eyes.
[You have entered the special map, the Arena of Ferocious Beasts!]
[There are currently 176 ferocious beasts in the Duel Arena, please hold out for at least 20 minutes!]
Seeing the sudden system prompt.
Seeing the group of beasts in front of him that had been unleashed and plunged into a frenzied state.
Dean McKenzie was surprisingly not frightened.
He even thought that this situation was normal.
“I was saying earlier that it was too dramatic, I was feeling a bit uneasy, but now it’s okay, I can eat up this benefit with peace of mind!”
As Dean McKenzie spoke, he lifted his hand, and a Bone Fang rose into the sky.
The Bone Fang ascended, then stopped in mid-air, splitting into dozens of small Bone Fangs that fell down.
After level 4, Bone Fang’s maximum damage was as high as 866.
This meant that each small Bone Fang could deal as much as 221.5 damage, 62.5 of which was piercing damage.
What’s the concept of this?
The Bloody Warrior Jay Murray who had attacked Dean McKenzie before could only deal about a hundred damage in a burst of one-turn skills without weapons.
With the attack from Dean McKenzie’s Bone Fang, several dozen beasts were instantly killed.
[You killed the [Aged Wolf] (Elite) (level 26), you gained 70,000 Experience Points!]
[You killed the [One-Armed Monkey] (Elite) (level 27), you gained 80,000 Experience Points!]
Numerous system prompts refreshed.
The beasts in front of Dean McKenzie were wiped out in large numbers.
Dean McKenzie raised his hand again and another Bone Fang shot out.
[Your Level has increased to 22, your Spirit has increased to 132.2, your Mana limit has increased to 2622!]
These beasts that had entered the Berserk mode were like weeds in front of him – a great majority of them were wiped out in just a few seconds – Dean McKenzie even leveled up!
Of course, this was quite normal.
After all, Dean McKenzie was capable of killing elites and even Excellent Template beasts at level 20, let alone doing worse after doubling his attribute points after completing the nightmare mode job change.
Soon after, of the 176 beasts, Dean McKenzie had wiped out 174.
Dean McKenzie’s level had directly risen to 23.
There were only two beasts left alive in the Duel Arena.
And these two, in terms of attributes, were seemingly countering Dean McKenzie’s current combat system.
Name: Ferocious Mantis Swordsman
Template: Excellent
Level: Level 32
Trait: Dangerous Agility (D) — increases evasion speed by fifty percent
Attributes:
Strength: 16, Physique: 16, Agility: 70
Attack: 70
Defense: 16
Skills: Mantis Stance (Level 4), Danger Sensing (Level 3)
One-turn Skill: Mantis Saber (Level 2)
Just looking at the attributes, this mantis didn’t seem particularly dazzling.
Against Dean McKenzie’s impressive spirit strength of 134, its attributes appeared mediocre, yet its performance in battle was genuinely terrifying.
It could easily dodge Dean McKenzie’s Bone Fang attack.
Even if McKenzie spread his Bone Fangs wide, it still effortlessly evaded them.
But this mantis was not too problematic for McKenzie.
After all, although it could dodge attacks, it didn’t have strong offensive power, and so it couldn’t pose a significant threat.
Dean McKenzie could handle it slowly.
After all, Dean McKenzie could make countless mistakes, but it could only afford one.
Compared to this Mantis, the other beast was a much more troublesome opponent for Dean McKenzie.
Name: Shadow Ghost
Template: Excellent
Level: Level 29
Trait: Shadow Resider (D-level) — Immune to physical damage when immobile in the shadows
Attributes:
Spirit: 99
Skills: Shadow Shuttle (Level 4), Shadow Bind (Level 3)
One-turn Skills: Shadow Beheading (Level 2)
Compared to the Mantis, this Shadow Ghost was extremely vexing for
McKenzie.
Even if he managed to strike the Mantis, it could still die.
However, it was useless to hit this ghost.
It simply hid in shadows, and while it was there, McKenzie’s Bone Fangs couldn’t hurt it.
After all, Dean McKenzie’s Bone Fangs mainly dealt physical damage.
The worst part was, the ghost’s shadow attack couldn’t be categorized as physical or magic, but belonged to the spectrum of mental attacks.
This meant it could bypass the Bone Shield and attack McKenzie directly.
This was extremely problematic.
When facing this creature, the tide turned against McKenzie.
He was now the one who couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.
If he did mishandle his moves, and the opponent directly launched a Shadow
Beheading, McKenzie might be finished instantly.
Actually, if McKenzie hadn’t had the Lich’s Tear, a bottle with a Level 3 Mental
Resistance attribute, he would have been killed just now.
After all, he had no idea there would be a Shadow Ghost mixed with the beasts.
This was akin to finding a starving wolf in a pack of Siberian Huskies.
It suddenly appeared and almost killed McKenzie.
Since becoming a career changer, this was the first time McKenzie felt utterly helpless.
“I have to enhance my skills.. Otherwise, there’s no way I can overcome this Shadow Ghost!”
