Chapter 161 The Mysterious Ghost
Xinyang used the wind element to carefully feel the monster's every move. Every time the monster made a move, Xinyang could react quickly, mobilizing the surrounding wind elements to form a solid shield to resist the monster's attack.
However, the monster seemed utterly annoyed and irritated by Xinyang's obstruction. Suddenly, it abruptly stopped, opened its bloody maw, and unleashed a deafening, earth-shattering roar upon the crowd. The roar surged like a raging ocean wave, sweeping over them at an alarming speed. Even Xinyang's wind barrier couldn't fully withstand the overwhelming force. Everyone felt as if their eardrums were about to burst, their bodies swaying slightly, and they could barely stand.
At this moment, the monster took the opportunity to break through Xinyang's defense line. It opened its huge claws, with a fierce momentum, and pounced towards everyone at an astonishing speed.
Ichito, standing at the front of the team, didn't hesitate at all. A glint of determination flashed in his eyes as he raised his mace and blocked the monster's claws head-on. The mace collided with the monster's claws, making a dull thud.
However, the monster's power was too great. Although Yidou struggled to resist, he was still knocked back by the huge impact. Yidou's feet left two deep marks on the ground, and the ground shook slightly.
But Yidou didn't give up. He gritted his teeth, trying to steady himself, a stubborn look on his face. "Hmph, I won't be defeated so easily!" Yidou roared.
Yidou's strong resistance also bought time for others. Ayato, Ayahua, Kurumi and Chongyun tacitly divided into two groups and attacked the monster from both sides.
The monster wasn't interested in fighting. Seeing the counterattack, it immediately dodged, preparing to disappear again. Xin Yang saw this and quickly activated the wind element, trying to locate the monster. But the monster was too fast, and it disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
Everyone's hearts tensed, and they watched their surroundings warily. They knew the monster could reappear and attack at any moment. Yidou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes still full of fighting spirit.
"This monster is too cunning, everyone be careful." Ayato warned loudly.
Walnut frowned, pondering the monster's movements. "It seems to be looking for our weakness. We can't give it a chance."
After that, everyone stood closer together, back to back, forming a defensive circle.
Chongyun sensed the elemental fluctuations around him and said, "I sense an evil aura from the monster. It's still nearby. It hasn't gone far."
Just when everyone was on high alert, the monster suddenly appeared from above and pounced on them again.
Fortunately, Xinyang reminded them in time and everyone responded quickly, each using their own methods to resist.
Ayaka waved the Mist Cutting Sword, releasing the power of ice element, trying to freeze the monster; Ayato cooperated with Ayaka and attacked from the side; Ichido raised the mace again, ready to withstand the monster's attack again; Chongyun stood beside Ichido ready to support at any time; Hu Tao attached the fire element to the staff of Homa and attacked from the other side.
Seeing this, the monster wanted to escape again, but Xinyang had already come behind the monster without anyone noticing.
"How many times do you plan to use the same move?" After saying that, Xinyang slashed a huge wind blade towards the monster.
Faced with attacks from all directions, the monster has no way to avoid it and can only take this round of attacks.
The monster, struck by the attacks, roared in agony. The roar seemed to pierce the heavens, carrying with it endless rage and resentment. The dark aura emanating from it surged violently, heaving and undulating like a surging tide. Clearly, this wave of attacks from all sides had taken considerable damage.
However, the powerful monster did not fall. It struggled frantically, its massive body twisting and thrashing, sprouting countless spikes as if trying to break free from some invisible bondage. Each of its struggles caused the ground to tremble slightly, stirring the surrounding mist into further chaos.
Yidou gripped his mace tightly, his eyes fixed on the monster, ready for its counterattack. "Come again! I can still fight!" Yidou's face was filled with determination, his fighting spirit burning like a blazing flame, undimmed by the monster's strength.
Ayaka panted slightly, the Mist Cutting Sword still emitting an icy aura. She was ready to strike again at any moment. Ayato stood beside Ayaka, his sword trembling slightly as he too watched the monster's next move.
"Roar!" The monster suddenly let out an even more violent roar, a sound that seemed to shatter the heavens, exploding through the air with endless rage and madness. Simultaneously, the dark aura emanating from it instantly surged, blazing like a black flame, stained the surrounding air in pitch black. The darkness spread like a surging tide, bringing with it an indescribable sense of oppression.
The monster swung its claws violently, stirring up a gust of wind, like a black whirlwind, sweeping towards the crowd. This time, the wind was even stronger than before, whistling like a galloping horse, mixed with a thick black mist and the sharp thorns on the monster's body. The black mist seemed to have life, twisting and twitching with fangs and claws, exuding a sickening evil aura. And those sharp thorns, gleaming coldly in the darkness, like the blades of death, ready to reap the lives of everyone.
Facing the monster's attack, Xinyang flew into the air and also drove his wind element to form a strong wind to fight back.
The two powerful winds squeezed and collided, producing a piercing sound, as if two giants were wrestling fiercely. The gusts collided, forming a series of intense vortexes, churning the surrounding air into chaos. However, Xinyang was not able to stop the spikes, and they continued to rain down on the people on the ground.
Everyone's hearts tensed. Ito and Chongyun immediately drew their weapons, ready to meet the impending attack. At the same time, they used their bodies to shield Ayato and Ayahua behind them, ensuring their safety. However, in the distance, Kurumi was in grave danger. Her eyes widened in horror as she watched the rain of spikes approaching at her, a wave of panic welling up in her heart.
Kurumi swiftly swung her Homa staff, attempting to block the sharp spikes. However, the spikes were too numerous and moving at such a high speed that Kurumi was overwhelmed. With no cover to hide behind, the situation became increasingly critical. Kurumi could only rely on her own strength, unable to resist the attack of these spikes.
At this critical moment, a mysterious figure suddenly appeared beside Kurumi. This figure was a ghost, holding a Homa staff similar to Kurumi's, and with nimble movements, it blocked all the incoming spikes for Kurumi. Kurumi looked at this suddenly appearing ghost in surprise, filled with confusion.
By the time this wave of attacks ended, the monster had long since vanished. But the tension in everyone's hearts didn't dissipate with the monster's disappearance, because no one could be sure where the monster would appear next time, or how ferocious its next attack would be.
Kurumi looked at the ghost that had suddenly appeared beside her, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart. Why did this ghost appear at this moment to help her? Why did he have the same Homa staff as her? ... A series of questions flooded her mind.
"The monster is gone, and the wind around us can't feel it anymore." Xinyang's voice broke the silence, his tone full of relief.
Hearing this, everyone's tense hearts finally relaxed a little, but they still kept a vigilant eye on their surroundings, just in case the monster appeared again. They slowly turned around, their eyes focused on Walnut, and were surprised to find that there was a figure beside Walnut.
This figure wore the same attire as Kurumi and held the same Homa staff. However, a closer look revealed that he was not a living person, but a transparent ghost.
Walnut stood there, staring at the ghost with eyes full of astonishment and disbelief. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
