Chapter 308 - 314: Goddess Priestess
This woman looks around eighty to ninety percent similar to a human on the outside, but her entire being seems to emit a soft glow, with a pair of pure white and beautiful light wings, wearing Holy Professional chainmail, and holding a long spear inlaid with a Holy Gem.
Long gold-white hair reaching down to her waist, her features and figure are nearly perfect.
Just looking at her appearance.
Hmm, flawless.
She seems to be around eighteen years old at first glance.
This is a Celestial Race person, and the Celestial Race is a very ancient race in the Spirit Realm, with resemblances to elves and humans, among other races, their greatest feature being the Celestial Wings.
Different races.
Different innate talents.
Just like how the Jackal Wolfman innately has reconnaissance skills.
The racial abilities of the Celestial Race rank among the top of many races.
Because this race is extremely ancient, and has connections with many divinities, even dividing into many factions belonging to different divine camps, they are also referred to as angels.
Hang Yu’s gaze swept over the scene, besides this female Celestial, there were also ten warriors and ten mages.
The warriors each wearing full golden armor, dressed like metal tins, with axe and shield as weapons.
The mages each had a hood, wore white robes, held a magic staff, and their appearances were equally unclear.
The ten warriors and ten mages were all low-intelligence minions.
The most important and the only NPC in this trial was this exceedingly beautiful Celestial girl in front of them.
"Are you the warriors enlightened by the goddess to come and help protect the church?" The remarkably beautiful Celestial girl with gold-white long hair spoke, offering an unfamiliar courtesy to the four, "I am Nancy Liya, the Goddess Priestess of this church, thank you very much for your assistance."
Su Yunbing, Xu Tianhua, and Bai all looked confused.
However, Hang Yu reacted very quickly, "It is an honor for us to fight alongside the noble Goddess Priestess, could you tell us what the situation is now?"
The Celestial Nancy Liya replied, "Amonthis’s dark ceremony has been launched, his power has invaded the Ghost Heaven Realm, and the goddess’s church in this world is enduring the corrosion of dark forces, the situation is currently dire."
Her gaze turned to beyond the church: "The area around the church has already been corrupted, filled with evil undead monsters outside. Now, we must hold fast here, and absolutely mustn’t let Amonthis desecrate the goddess’s church!"
Hang Yu spoke a few more words with the Goddess Priestess.
Su Yunbing and Xu Tianhua could tell.
In fact, Hang Yu was gathering intelligence during the conversation.
Nancy Liya did not hold back, revealing some intelligence about the Ghost Heaven Realm, and matters between the two divinities, which was undoubtedly very valuable information!
Soon after.
The entire church began to tremble and shake.
The four could clearly see changes happening in all directions of the cathedral,
Nancy Liya’s expression changed as she spoke gravely, "Everyone, prepare yourselves, the damned desecraters are coming!"
Without being able to learn more intelligence.
Su Yunbing and Xu Tianhua felt a bit regretful.
The originally ornate and sacred mural-covered walls now seemed to have suddenly seeped water, appearing gray-black blotches that began to erode and spread, with the murals immediately being destroyed, as if moldy.
One after another, grotesque ghosts.
Passed through the church walls and appeared in the church hall.
Their numbers were vast, a preliminary glance showed at least two or three hundred.
Su Yunbing was stunned: "So many, how are we supposed to fight them? They seem to be at least level 10 monsters, with a very high proportion of elites among them!"
Not only were there so many, but even more terrifying was that their numbers were still increasing. With just these few in the church, how could they possibly fend off such a number of ghosts? The strength of Nancy Liya should be about level 10 Golden Lord level, while the other twenty minions were all at level 10 Golden Elite level.
The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great!
Xu Tianhua finally understood why previous teams had all ended in failure.
The Witch Demon Emperor Amonthis’s ceremony would last for six hours.
Under such an onslaught, four people needed to hold out for six whole hours?
This was almost impossible!
No time to think.
Nancy Liya’s skills burst forth.
The weapons of Xu Tianhua and Hang Yu were imbued with glowing light.
Like they were coated with a layer of shimmering gold grease.
Hang Yu said, "This is a Third Tier Holy Light Blessing, which allows us to damage spirit monsters."
Combat Professionals are at a disadvantage against spirit monsters because spirit monsters can exempt a considerable amount of physical damage with their bodies, rendering an attack ineffective if not strong enough.
However.
It was clear that Nancy Liya was a very powerful Holy Professional.
With this skill now enhanced, Hang Yu and Xu Tianhua’s attacks could be fully executed, and even carry light attribute attacks, thus doing more damage to ghost monsters.
Nancy Liya’s skills burst one after the other.
Providing at least two or three BUFF effects on everyone present.
The Holy Professional wasn’t just a mere doctor, wrapped in various glows all over her body, swinging the long spear in her hand, she continuously shattered several ghosts that attacked, almost killing them in one shot, her combat power was simply off the charts.
However.
No matter how strong.
In the end, two fists are no match for four hands.
Almost seventy percent of the ghosts were targeting her.
```
These ghosts have various attack methods. Some use magic attacks, some use stealth for ambushes. Nancy Liya was quickly injured, and her Life Energy began to deplete. If she couldn’t heal herself, she wouldn’t withstand the attacks for even ten minutes.
If the Goddess Priestess falls in battle.
The rest would be untenable.
"Most ghosts are drawn to this Goddess Priestess, while others are attracted by the other guards from the church, leaving us with relatively little pressure." Su Yunbing began observing the surroundings, making deductions based on the current situation: "Now, only we have room to maneuver, so the key to breaking the stalemate lies with us."
Xu Tianhua nodded and said, "Makes sense, but what should we do?"
Hang Xiaobai didn’t speak, systematically clearing the approaching ghosts.
Hang Yu immediately released Er Gou.
Seeing the scene, Dog was startled: "Whoa? What’s going on? Why are there so many ghosts!"
Hang Yu glanced at the frantically flying ghosts and said, "Each batch has a leader controlling the others. As long as we can eliminate this Ghost Leader, the rest will fall apart. The leader is definitely the strongest. Dog, can you find it?"
Ghosts all look pretty much the same on the outside.
But Er Gou can distinguish them based on the strength of their aura.
It quickly discovered that among the countless ghosts, three or four were particularly strong.
Hmm, they are approximately at the Bronze Lord level, significantly stronger than the others.
"Great!"
"Take them down!"
Hang Yu was the first to Flash over, stabbing both weapons into a Ghost Leader’s back, instantly causing stacked damage. Hang Xiaobai followed up with lightning striking it swiftly.
The ghost was very cunning and immediately tried to fly away and escape.
Su Yunbing threw out a Soul Calming Skill to immobilize it.
Xu Tianhua went up and delivered a Continuous Attack with his swordsmanship.
His burst damage was no weaker than Hang Yu’s.
With a wave of attacks, the group took down the ghost.
At the moment this ghost was eliminated, at least a hundred other ghosts at the scene screamed in pain and then began self-destructing. The self-destruction caused attack damage, but the capability was general. With Hang Yu and the others’ strength, they endured it.
Bai’s ring shone brightly in his hand.
A Powerful Healing was cast on Su Yunbing.
Su Yunbing was still a bit shy of level nine and relatively fragile as a Spiritual Professional.
This wave of recovery immediately healed all her wounds, as Bai wore a ring of Blue Quality, enhanced with a powerful healing skill, allowing him to act as a half-Doctor in battle.
Su Yunbing said, "Thank you!"
Bai gave a slight smile: "Don’t mention it."
Since Su Yunbing lived at home, Bai considered her family.
At this time, Er Gou pointed out the second one, but this one was surrounded by lots of ghosts.
These Ghost Leaders, with faint intelligence, realized they were exposed and self-protected.
Hang Yu shouted, "Dog, cover me!"
Hang Yu charged into the ghost swarm, scattering them with a fierce attack.
Even though he was continuously attacked during the process, a considerable portion of these attacks hitting Hang Yu were transferred to Dog due to Er Gou’s Damage Absorption ability.
Damage Absorption has limitations.
Damage up to 10 points is fully absorbed.
Damage between 10 and 100 points has 30% absorbed!
As for damage exceeding 100 points, it cannot be absorbed.
Despite the ghosts not being weak, Hang Yu was also very strong, and most of the attacks hitting him were effectively absorbed by Dog.
It could be said.
Without Dog’s absorption.
Relying solely on potion recovery, Hang Yu would have been defeated long ago.
Er Gou, seeing wounds continuously appearing on his body, said bitterly, "Whoa whoa, the boss charges ahead showing off wildly, while Dog can only suffer in the back taking the hits!"
Dog is pretty tough.
But still felt a bit overwhelmed.
He quickly split into two clone dogs.
Let the clone dogs replicate the damage absorption skill, replacing the main body to endure the damage.
Xu Tianhua, Su Yunbing, and Hang Xiaobai took advantage of most ghost firepower being drawn by Hang Yu and immediately attacked, successfully dispatching this Ghost Leader as well.
The church was swarming with ghosts.
Now less than half remained.
It turned out, that when approached correctly, it wasn’t particularly difficult to deal with.
Xu Tianhua, based on the current situation, roughly realized the approach to clearing this instance.
First, the team must be strong, consisting of a tank, a recon, an output, and a support. Only in this formation could they hope to withstand the first wave of monsters.
This was crucial intelligence.
After Xu Tianhua reported to the Celestial Net.
Celestial Net would formulate related strategies, making it much easier for future challengers.
In about a quarter-hour, the four of them jointly traversed among the ghosts, eliminating all the Ghost Leaders. Although the church was in chaos, the Goddess Priestess and most of the guards survived, marking a considerable success.
