"Woo-"
The five people subconsciously joined together, and the two ghosts also joined together, screaming sharply from their mouths, and rushed towards the five people.
The whole body is exuding a hazy white light, and there is a cold air permeating the air. The face is blurry, like a human being, but also like a beast.
The five of them all clenched their weapons. Although they knew just now that the weapons were ineffective against ghosts, this was their only method.
"This, this... is it a ghost?"
The woman in red battle uniform looked slightly pale.
"It must be. Look at its feet. It's not standing on the ground at all. It's completely suspended. That's what the ghost mentioned in the book is like."
The woman in the orange battle uniform also looked slightly pale, and the hand holding the weapon was trembling slightly.
"It's coming, get out of the way!"
The brown bearded man reminded loudly.
Whoosh!
The five people, including Gray, all quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the attacks of the two ghosts.
"Woo-"
The two ghosts who jumped into the air let out blood-curdling screams in anger, turned around and rushed towards the five people again.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The five of them were very strong and moved quickly within the room, dodging two attacks from the ghosts in a row.
"This is not the way to go."
Gray said with a solemn expression.
"No way, attacks have no effect on them at all!"
The man with brown beard frowned.
Everyone felt helpless. None of them were weak, but the ghost in front of them was obviously not something that ordinary attacks could hurt.
At this moment, the purple-haired woman Sophia suddenly said.
"I read in the book that ghosts are afraid of fire and thunder and lightning. Whose weapon attributes are fire or thunder and lightning?"
Crackling!
Upon hearing this, Gray quickly poured the power of sword blood into the magic sword.
His magic sword happens to have lightning properties.
The surface of the magic sword was immediately wrapped with blue-white thunder and lightning, emitting a dazzling light, like countless thunder snakes beating and entwining.
At this moment, two ghosts approached again.
Uh-huh!
Gritting his teeth, he wrapped around Leiden's sword and quickly slashed out the two swords, slashing at the two ghosts.
I don’t know if what the purple-haired girl Sophia said is true, so I can only give it a try now.
"ah-"
Two sharp screams suddenly sounded.
The two ghosts struck by Gray's sword were not intact as before. Instead, they were like torn cloth, instantly broken into two pieces.
Not only that, the two ghosts that were broken into two pieces were visible to the naked eye, starting from the place where they were struck by Gray's sword. They were shattering and collapsing.
The feeling was like watching fireworks burning.
In the end, the two ghosts completely disappeared into the air, and the temperature in the room suddenly became less cold.
Only the magic sword in Gray's hand was still blooming with blue-white thunder and lightning, reflecting the pale but relieved expressions of everyone.
"What on earth is going on? How can there be such a thing as a ghost..."
The voice of the woman in red battle uniform trembled slightly.
"I heard that in some special circumstances, after death, the soul will not dissipate, but will be imprisoned around it and become an unconscious ghost."
The purple-haired woman Sophia said, her voice surprisingly calm.
"I originally thought it was just fiction, but I didn't expect it to really exist."
Gray looked extremely ugly, thinking of himself.
I'm afraid it was the same for me back then. After death, my soul did not dissipate when encountering special circumstances.
Of course, there are differences. His soul came to this world from the original world inexplicably, and even took over the body of a seriously injured boy.
According to the purple-haired girl Sophia, these souls that turned into ghosts were imprisoned near the place of death and would not leave. They also turned into things like beasts. It was meaningless, and it was even more impossible to change from a World to another world.
I just don’t know if these ghosts will take other people’s bodies like he did before.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
Teresa, a man with brown beards, frowned and asked. Even he couldn't help but feel embarrassed that he would encounter such a thing.
"Light the torch and go find the caravan steward. I'm afraid we're not the only ones who will be attacked."
The purple-haired girl Sophia said in a deep voice.
"I don't know what the situation is like over there."
Everyone quickly lit some wood in the house as torches, each holding one, opened the door and walked out.
"ah-"
"Ah, help—"
"Don't come here, don't come here..."
There was chaos in the alleyways of the village. There were dozens of ghosts, their bodies emitting a pale white light, and they pounced on the caravan members with their teeth and five claws bared.
The screams were endless, and some people were so frightened that they staggered away. There were wet marks on their pants. They didn't know whether they were so frightened that they peed their pants, or because they were wet by the rain on the ground.
Some unlucky ones were knocked down by ghosts and fell straight to the ground, their eyes were blank and their bodies were shaking.
There are also people who have noticed the ghost's weakness and are holding torches and smashing them at the ghost crazily.
The ghost that was hit made a sharp scream and then quickly evaded.
…
When the five Grays came outside the house holding torches, this was what they saw.
"help!"
After all, the five of them were blood warriors and not ordinary people. They had calmed down a lot and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
A caravan guard who was so frightened that he ran away stepped on a pothole, lost his footing, and fell directly to the ground.
Behind him, a ghost chases.
He crawled backwards, but the ghost got closer and closer.
Crackling!
Just when the ghost was about to pounce on him, he suddenly noticed a blue-white light flashing in front of him, accompanied by the sound of thunder and lightning.
Woo—
Then he saw the ghost chasing him, whose body suddenly broke into two pieces, let out a sharp scream, and then dissipated like fireworks.
"Don't come here, don't come here..."
A woman in charge of logistics for the caravan was forced into a corner by the ghost, her body trembling uncontrollably.
At this moment, a torch appeared and was branded on the ghost like a branding iron.
The ghost screamed and retreated, but the bearded man holding a torch chased after him, and the torch in his hand burned the ghost continuously.
The ghost seemed to be melted, its body became mutilated, and finally disappeared completely.
The same scene is happening. These ghosts' normal attacks are completely ineffective, but they become extremely vulnerable when faced with lightning and fire that have a restraining effect on them.
Not to mention the thunder and lightning wrapped around Gray's magic sword that can kill high-level blood warriors with one blow. Even ordinary torches can cause a certain amount of damage to them after touching them. A few more hits can also kill them. .
Dozens of ghosts were quickly killed by the caravan members, Gray and others who reacted.
After counting the number of people, it was found that a total of 24 people died under the attack of the ghost. Most of these people died in their sleep.
As for the ghosts that Gray was most worried about taking over human bodies, it didn't seem to have happened. At least all the living people were acting normal so far, and they didn't look like their bodies were being taken over by unknown beings.
"Thank you to the noble gentlemen and ladies for taking the initiative!"
It seemed that the old man in charge of the caravan was very lucky and did not die. His face was pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He came over and thanked Gray and others.
"Need not."
The purple-haired girl Sophia shook her head and said.
"Although we have killed all the ghosts we found, it is best for us to leave this village as soon as possible."
"That's what the lady said!"
The old man nodded repeatedly and then went to give instructions.
They piled the bodies of the dead together and burned them, packed up the tents, and soon the caravan and the five Grays left the village as if they were fleeing.
After leaving the village, they lit up the lantern and headed straight forward. It wasn't until dawn and they were already far away from the village that the caravan completely stopped to rest and prepare breakfast.
Everyone was in shock. This experience would probably be something they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Gray even felt that many of these people must have suffered psychological trauma and were frightened out of mental illness. Of course, there are no psychiatrists in this world.
In fact, Gray himself was quite frightened. Even if he had the strength of a fierce blood warrior, he would still be frightened when faced with this mysterious ghost whose normal attacks were ineffective.
However, he is better than these people. These ghosts are not as fast as ordinary beasts in terms of movement speed. The only trouble is that ordinary attacks are ineffective and the bodies of those they encounter will be out of control.
Knowing their weaknesses, these ghosts looked like ordinary beasts in front of him, who had a magic sword with lightning properties.
