Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!-Chapter 295: D103. Town Soul_2

The gemstone, originally never meant for use now, ended up being used.

The Hero’s presence had erased the Sergeant’s last bit of hesitation.

It had to be now; the Great Demon needed to be resolved here.

If it broke free and regained its former strength, even gathering all the power from the Border might not be enough to stand against this Phoenix.

By finishing the first slaying, and using this gemstone as the opponent resurrected,

the Eternal Night’s power would invade, completely imprisoning the Phoenix, making it lose the ability to resurrect for a certain time.

Then, the second slaying would end its sinful life.

Even if the slaying was not complete on his own, it was fine, as long as there was someone trustworthy to depend on, he feared not swinging this blade!

Above the dark cloud, the Sergeant’s eyes sharpened, gripping tightly, and raised the long blade, with a gemstone encrusted handle and altered construction.

"——When facing evil, slash. When meeting devils, eradicate."

[Sergeant activated skill: Guardian King, Legion of Ghosts’ Daytime March]

[All of the Sergeant’s checks achieved a baseline roll of 0.5, gaining one corps D4 (Ghostly Henchman 1\Solder 1\Hero 1)]

"I’ll head into the fray next, Miss Hero, please handle support duties."

Standing in the void, separated by quite a distance from the Hero, the Sergeant’s calm and courteous voice seemed to resound directly in her mind.

Such overwhelming aura, even Father did not have such aura when angry.

And so many emblems, a higher status than Father!

As the daughter of a Military Merit Noble, just the Sergeant’s Armor, with emblems representing military rank, was enough to make the Hero instinctively follow orders.

Yet, she still hesitated, uncertain if she should do as told.

Having been in numerous battles, she wasn’t exactly a greenhorn ignorant of analyzing the battlefield. Following two rounds of engagement, she had realized that the Corrupted Phoenix’s Magic Power was oddly active, showing no sign of halting decay.

It was akin to an almost ignited tinderbox, any external stimulus provoking a fierce reaction, triggering Explosive Flames as Counterattack.

Without the Beast Spirit Body ability, rashly acting could lead to heavy consequences.

"Listen to him," she contemplated,

as the Ancient Hero had already murmured softly, their tone tinged by past experience, as if they’d encountered such a scene before, a cross-era rapport formed between the two warriors. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Realizing now wasn’t the time for hesitation, the Hero could only nod in agreement.

Seeing the Hero agree, the Sergeant’s lips curled slightly, then he spoke in a deep voice.

"All units, prepare for Gathering Soul."

From his pocket, he drew the lightless gemstone, as the handle of the long blade began to reshape, the Eternal Night Gem being firmly embedded.

Under the astonishing gaze of the Cruising Bishop, all soldiers wore grim expressions, immediately replaced by resolve, as Military Mages swiftly completed spellcasting using scrolls. Nearly half of the soldiers’ Magic Power was extracted without resistance, forming one spirit body after another, nearly identical.

With a sudden massive loss of Magic Power, soldiers turned pale and swayed, nearly collapsing, but stood firm through sheer will, keeping their eyes on their superior.

Previously slain and later enslaved Ghostly Henchmen, paired with soldier Magic-powered spirits, lined up neatly behind him. The Sergeant’s body quickly became Wraith-like, leading the army of ghosts.

[Sergeant activated Special Skill: Wraith]

[Due to skill: Dark Sun, Corrupted Phoenix is immune to fire, darkness, and Negative Energy effects, Wraith’s soul damage won’t apply]

The nearly hundred Ghost breaths merged as one at that moment, causing the nearby Cruising Bishop’s pupils to contract.

Legion of Ghosts’ Daytime March, turning one into an army.

"Take care of them," the Sergeant nodded towards the Cruising Bishop.

Noticing the Sergeant’s anomaly, the Corrupted Phoenix flapped sharply, emitting a piercing cry, and dark, polluted flames rose again.

[Corrupted Phoenix activated skill: Burning Sky Wings, Depraved Flame]

D279+54+d91=d279(109)+54+d91(80)=243

[Hero’s Support (Agility 105, surpasses Depraved Wind’s success, or at least distracts it)]

2d105=d105(60)+d105(67)=127

"——Kill!"

Then, an icy and raging Soul Wind swept, as the Sergeant dragged the pitch-black long blade, leading the mass of near a hundred Ghosts like a torrent, charging in the dazzling, radiant sun.

The Corrupted Phoenix flapped abruptly, disappearing from its original spot instantly, air exploding with booming sounds, black shockwave laced with Depraved Flame Rain pouring down.

The Hero rode the White Snake, locking onto the Corrupted Phoenix, which left not even a residual shadow, flying with a high-pitched scream tearing through the air, launching a splendid sea of light once more.

[Corrupted Phoenix activated skill: Depraved Wind]

D342=d342(187)=187

Despite the scattered power causing no harm to the Corrupted Phoenix, its flight trajectory became clear.

Realizing it was locked on, the Corrupted Phoenix shrieked, no longer attempting to change direction, its wings swooped straight down like blades, akin to a dark Meteorite plunging.

The wind pressure, eroding spirit and will, felt substantial, but that intense pollution had no effect on the Ghost army charging forth.

Directly exposed in spiritual form to the vile winds, the Sergeant’s gaze remained crystal clear, immediately clearing all distractions, thoughts concentrating on the blade in the next moment.

[Due to skill: Guardian King, Sergeant resisted Depraved Wind’s influence]

[Sergeant activated skill: Divine Martial D5+5=9*26=234, Yin Yang Chaos (Legion of Ghosts’ Daytime March+80)]

2d266+2d179+66+890=(92)+(131)+d179(174)+d179(70)+1270=1737

In a flash, his form turned from ethereal to solid, the soul-tearing hurricane suddenly roaring, clashing with the Depraved Wind pressure, chaotic airflow sweeping up, shattering visible clouds in entirety.

Facing near, ignoring the turbulence, the Phoenix fell straight as a Meteor toward him, the Sergeant’s gaze wasn’t in the least flustered, only displaying icy Determination.

"Prepare defense!"

The Ancient Hero’s shout echoed in the Hero’s mind.

At the next moment, the Black Long Blade swung.

[Sergeant dealt Corrupted Phoenix 1737+30 (Critical Success) -243-187=1337 points of damage]

[Nocturnal Canopy LV6——Starless Night LV7 activated]

[Corrupted Phoenix suffered 1337-90=1247 points of damage, HP -842/628]

It was a black line across the canopy.

From the Hero’s perspective, the Sergeant’s long blade was just a thin black shadow, even though it was a person-high blade.

But, in that moment, the slender blade seemed like a god’s brush, drawing a straight black line across the distant canopy.

The nearly Meteoritic Corrupted Phoenix suddenly froze.

Black Fire Feathers scattered everywhere, its form fading, attempting to escape from the slashing.

Yet, the very next moment, centered on the black line, the overhanging vault of the sky parted like a curtain pulled at both ends, revealing dark, profound nothingness behind.

The night spread evenly to both sides, drowning the fleeing Corrupted Phoenix, veiling the world in darkness.

The Sergeant’s gaze returned to clarity, the Eternal Night Gem having shattered with the long blade in hand, as he observed the falling Fire Feathers around him, his body subconsciously began to writhe.

As he could empty his spirit, concentrating to exert powerful force, so, too, could he discard the Humanoid form, temporarily morphing his body into a malignant ghost to gain a more robust Constitution.

Sinful melodies abruptly echoed in his mind.

The Sergeant paused briefly, his body’s writhing ceased.

[Corrupted Phoenix activated skill: Dark Sun]

D628+d91+54=d628(379)+d91(18)+54=451

Then, Explosive Flames bloomed, the massive explosion raising another wave of shockwave, smearing this night with squalor.

[Corrupted Phoenix dealt Sergeant 451 points of damage]

[Sergeant took 451-50-25=376 points of damage, HP -124/252]
