Sacred Souls: Genesis

Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Wolf Knight

The efficiency of the Dancing Nuclear Guild really was astonishing.

Under Mo Shigui’s command, the entire strategy team circumvented the streetside zombies that had entered a frenzied state, attracting only a few minor mobs’ aggro, and successfully entered the dungeons of the royal district.

Four out of the five Knights under Queen Mei’s command were fighting on the frontlines, and they had not anticipated that these Holy Spirits would so fearlessly disregard the basic laws of the battlefield, risking their lives to demolish the city walls.

From Mo Shigui’s voice communications with the other guild leaders, it appeared that the Wasp Knight, the axe-wielding man, and the Lion Heart Knight, these three elite BOSSes, had already been restrained – their remaining task was to take down the Wolf Knight lurking deep within the dungeon.

“Why do I get the feeling this place is haunted?”

As one of the external supports, Lin Xi took the lead and controlled his character, Dreaming in Daylight, to walk into the dungeon.

The entirety of the dungeon environment was exceptionally damp and gloomy, and the simulated scent of rust Lin Xi could smell seemed like the scent of blood in reality.

“Are you scared of ghosts, big shot?” Ion Spark asked as he followed by Lin Xi’s side, knowing Lin Xi’s real identity in the actual world. As a fellow gun and artillery player, he was somewhat of a fan of Lin Xi.

“Scared of what! We’ve even slaughtered dragons in this game, why would we be afraid of ghosts?” Lin Xi kept blabbering mouthily, but the next moment, the depths of the dungeon unexpectedly emitted a sharp scream.

The scream was a cross between a wolf howl and a ghoulish roar that, combined with the sinister dungeon environment, was enough to make the faint-hearted players drop their weapons.

“Fuck!”

Lin Xi made a decisive reaction on the spot, clinging tightly to Zhao Mingwei who was nearby.

“You can turn up the brightness of the screen a bit,” said Zhao Mingwei, pushing Lin Xi’s face away with his hand. Zhao Mingwei knew that this king of trash talk always claimed to be fearless during horror game streams, only to end up scrambling and screaming when chased by ghosts.

“My screen’s brightness is already at max,” said Lin Xi while looking around incessantly, “This map is kind of eerie, I always feel like there’s something watching me from behind, but there’s not even a mob nearby?”

“Where would there be mobs in a BOSS room? Mo Shigui is about to initiate the fight.”

At that moment, Jiang Qiao had already lifted his Magic Wand, with a Fire Spirit and a Water Spirit appearing beside him. However, the next second the Water Spirit, out of fear, hid behind Jiang Qiao, while the Fire Spirit showed some bravery, sitting directly atop Jiang Qiao’s head.

In the far-off darkness, a pair of crimson eyes suddenly lit up, and at this moment, the elite strategy team of the Dancing Nuclear Guild, with their excellent combat training, had already swiftly scattered under the instruction of Mo Shigui.

Jiang Qiao threw a Scouting Technique into the depths of the dungeon shrouded in darkness.

‘Name: Knight Ulysses the Wolf, Level: 69, Occupation: Warrior Series, Description: One of the strongest among the five knights under Queen Mei, the Wolf Knight is the only one of the knights who has lost his sanity and become fully zombified. However, according to my scouting, the loss of his sanity is not due to zombification but must be for some other reason. Hai Lan’s memories on this part are incomplete, so I can’t investigate more clues. However, the Star Map does indicate some evil forces, and the three forces I can retrieve from Hai Lan’s memories are Abyss, Chaos, and Oblivion. Beware of the invasions of these forces; you are not the only one looking for the Divine Fragments of Hai Lan.’

Jiang Qiao was glad that only he could see this explanation – other players who scouted would only see this Wolf Knight’s health points.

In front of Jiang Qiao’s interface, the health points of the Wolf Knight read 6266350/6266350.

Six million hit points were slightly lower than those of the Lion Heart Knight.

Lower health points did not mean he was weaker than the Lion Heart Knight in combat strength. Another scream sounded, and the pair of crimson eyes suddenly leaped into the sky.

Jiang Qiao finally saw the opponent’s appearance at this moment, this Wolf Knight was over two meters tall just like the Lion Heart Knights, and when he leapt into the air, his great sword swung fiercely towards Mo Shigui at the very front of the team.

When the Wolf Knight’s great sword violently smashed against Mo Shigui’s shield, sparks scattered from the blade and the surface of the shield blossomed in the darkness, and the ground under Mo Shigui’s feet instantly cracked apart.

This strike made Mo Shigui feel a heavy power in his hands, but this force was not enough to cause any twists or injuries to Mo Shigui’s arms.

According to Jiang Qiao’s settings, Spiritual Bodies are beings that exist between physical entities and spiritual entities, if you really want to put it, Spiritual Bodies don’t have muscles and joints, their body composition is a kind of energy entity.

So players could feel the force of various monsters’ attacks, but no matter how strong this force was, it would only feel like a gentle tap with a small hammer.

The Wolf Knight, compared to other BOSSes, was far more ferocious, crazily hitting Mo Shigui’s shield with its ‘little hammer’. @@novelbin@@

The actions of the Wolf Knight swinging his sword could no longer be described as human-like, much more resembling a creature with limbs sprawled on the ground.

While the Wolf Knight treated Mo Shigui like a nail to hammer, the other members of the raid group had gone all out with their attacks, throwing every skill they had at the Wolf Knight.

These attacks made the Wolf Knight even more enraged, and finally, it did something a Spiritual Instance BOSS would never do… It grabbed Mo Shigui’s shield.

“Damn, a disarming skill!?”

“Guild Master!”

Mo Shigui had not anticipated this situation; having played VR games for so long, this was his first encounter with a BOSS… that fought over a weapon with him.

This lack of experience caused Mo Shigui to make a severe mistake; he was directly lifted by the Wolf Knight, then slammed viciously to the ground on the other side.

-1390.

Mo Shigui lay on the ground in confusion, staring at the ceiling above, while his other hand, still holding the shield, was still grasped by the Wolf Knight.

“It’s not disarming! It’s a throw technique!” As the vice commander of the raid group, Rain Song immediately provided an explanation in the voice channel, “Aggro is on the Guild Master, everyone else, keep up the DPS!”

Rain Song’s command was very concise; the Wolf Knight’s body erupted again with flames, frost, and a barrage of various curses intertwined skills, but the Wolf Knight seemed fixated on Mo Shigui, tightly gripping his shield and not willing to let go.

Jiang Qiao had considered the possibility of bosses in the real world grabbing players’ weapons, so the equipment of Spiritual Bodies is actually part of their bodies. That is to say, if the weapons of the Spiritual Bodies were taken away, they would disappear and then reappear in their hands.

Since shields are equipped more ‘solidly,’ unless the Wolf Knight chopped off Mo Shigui’s hand, there was no way it could take the shield from Mo Shigui’s hands.

The Wolf Knight once again grabbed Mo Shigui’s hand and slammed it viciously onto another side of the leyline, then lifted his great sword to pierce through Mo Shigui laying on the ground.

The second after Mo Shigui turned into a tombstone, he was resurrected by the Fluffy Rabbit using Resurrection Technique.

This time he finally escaped from the clutches of the Wolf Knight.

“You won’t catch me with that throw technique a second time!” Mo Shigui tapped his shield with his blade, and after casting a skill that hardened his entire body, the Wolf Knight once again lifted his great sword and chopped towards him.
