Chapter 36

“I’m not telling a joke . ” Roland sighed and said, “This thing is really here to talk about his wallet . ”

As he talked, the transparent ghost crawled out of the coffin and screamed three meters away from them . With a closer look, they saw no emotion other than the determination to kill them in the ghost’s eyes .

The two of them stepped back . Betta waved his longsword and swallowed . “This thing looks rather creepy . Brother Roland, do you have any experience dealing with these things?”

“How could I?” Roland said helplessly . “I’ve only seen Falken’s soul until now . I can’t attack Falken, can I?”

1“Brother Roland, make a battle plan . ” Betta stopped retreating and stopped before Roland . “You’d better hurry . ”

The ghost suddenly had a transparent spear in his hand . It was obvious that the ghost was malicious and was about to take action . Roland knew that they couldn’t back off anymore . After all, ghosts were usually powerful in the stories .

“I’ll try to control him . ” Roland took out the staff from his Backpack and said, “Jump now . ”

Betta did not know why, but he followed Roland’s instruction . As a half-Warrior, he jumped almost two meters high .

Right when Betta jumped, Roland pointed his magic staff downward .

Ice Ring!

He chanted in silence .

Ice Ring was the third spell that Roland grasped . He could already cast it in silence .

A white circle of ice spread out on the ground and froze everything that it touched .

The ghost seemed unintelligent . He did not dodge, and his legs were frozen immediately . He struggled and let out an uncanny shriek .

It was rather unpleasant, if not tormenting .

Roland felt the urge to cover his ears .

Betta was delighted to see that the ghost was controlled . “Well done, Brother Roland . It’s my turn! Charge!”

1With a weird noise, Betta rushed at the ghost in blurred shadows . However, since the ground was now slippery ice, he lost balance and fell the moment he started off .

2Then, he rolled on the ground and crashed into the struggling ghost like a high-speed bowling ball .

2Roland was stunned . He watched Betta pass through the ghost and roll into the wall ahead while screaming .

This is… really not my fault .

2Roland returned to himself after a brief daze . He simply launched an Inferior Fireball at the ghost .

At this moment, Roland only concentrated part of his magic power . The fireball exploded and tore the ghost into shreds .

The fire even melted the ice on the ground into water .

1The enemy was gone, but Roland was still highly vigilant . After all, in many stories, ghosts were believed to be undying .

He was scared that the ghost would suddenly appear and attack him when he relaxed .

However, there was no sign of the ghost after a long wait, and the chill in the air was vanishing .

The ghost was not here, but Betta did crawl out of the wall .

He looked rather hilarious . His clothes were stained with dust, and there were several bruises on his face . Roland nearly laughed aloud .

“Brother Roland, where’s the ghost?” Betta stood up and looked around warily .

Roland examined the place and said, “It’s probably been killed by the fireball . It seems rather weak . ”

Relieved, Betta put the longsword back in his Backpack and said, “It should be some sort of wild monster . But it seems to be immune to physical attacks . I cut its feet as I passed the ghost, but I hit nothing as if it was a shadow . ”

Roland nodded and said, “Yes, like in other games, ghosts are vulnerable to magic attacks . ”

“I’ll burn them with dragon flame next time . ” Betta looked rather angry . “I would have used it had I seen it coming . I nearly passed out when I crashed into the wall . ”

2Roland almost laughed when he remembered how Betta rolled away like a screaming ball .

2Seeing Roland’s expression, Betta said unhappily, “Laugh if you want, Brother Roland, but did you trick me on purpose?”

“Absolutely not!” Roland denied it without any hesitation .

“Forget it . ” Betta looked at Roland and said, “Let’s split the coins . I don’t think the ghost will discuss with us about his wallet anymore . ”

Roland agreed with him .

Storing his part of the coins inside the Backpack, Roland refilled the tomb with Hand of Magic .

Then, the two of them carefully returned to the main road .

At this moment, it was completely dark . The moon was eclipsed by clouds, making it impossible to see anything in the woods .

Thankfully, Roland was capable of Light Ball . He created four balls and illuminated the environment .

1Nights were dominated by nocturnal animals, many of which were ferocious predators .

Most nocturnal animals were scared of light . While Roland and Betta were on their way, creatures with green eyes howled and passed by in the woods near them now and then .

After several times, Betta said, “It’s a pack of wolves . They’re fast and responsive . ”

Roland looked at the darkness and asked in surprise, “You can see them?”

“As a Dragon-Bred Warlock, I have +2 Darkness Vision,” Betta explained . “It allows me to see everything within fifty meters . ”

4Roland clicked his tongue . “Divine Nobles have too many practical initial talents . ”

“What talents have you chosen, Brother Roland?” asked Betta curiously .

“Magic Material Exemption and Magic Power Control . ” Roland explained, “The first talent is self-explanatory . Magic Power Control can increase the number of magic elements that I can control… But oddly, Magic Power Control is a fixed talent that cannot be replaced . So essentially, I can only choose one initial talent . ”

Betta was briefly stunned . “Aren’t all the classes free to choose two initial talents?”

“That’s why I’m puzzled . I’ve been suspecting that my ability to concentrate abundant magic power in one spell has something to do with this talent . ” Roland shrugged and said, “There’s too much about this game that we need to… We’re here . ”

2The two of them chit-chatted as they walked . Without them realizing it, they were already out of the woods .

3In front of them was a plain .

On the horizon, vague spots of light shivered .

It was an illusion that occurred when torches on the city wall were blown by the wind .

It was Delpon City!
