Traveling through the game world

32. As soon as the battle ended, Arthur, who had been looking sorrowful, suddenly chuckled and said, "Hehe, Lian Yang, your Remy's Kiss is really strong, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to beat Trezeguet. But it hurts so much, I actually drank several bottles of Remy's Kiss in one battle, that's worth millions of gold coins!"

His face was filled with heartache as he spoke, as if Trezeguet's final thanks had made Arthur understand something. Even Yang didn't understand, but it was good that the atmosphere among the four wasn't as oppressive as before.

In the ensuing battle, Arthur seemed to be on steroids, quickly buffing Lian Yang and the others before eagerly picking up his cross and joining the fight.

Occasionally, when there are too many monsters, Arthur doesn't even bother to buff Lian Yang and the others; he just uses Hammer of Repentance to purify the werewolves around him.

There aren't many adventurers left in the old district of Huttonmar; well, compared to the residents of Doom City, there are fewer and fewer werewolves along the way.

The enemy's main force has now become Hungry Plants and Namlun Mushrooms, among other mainstream monsters of Hutton Myre. Occasionally, there are some foolish thieves, but they are easily defeated.

Battles were frequent, but there was no tension, because Lian Yang and the others were far beyond the standard for Huttonmar Ruins.

Suddenly, the group of four stopped abruptly. Arthur said with a solemn expression, "I sense an evil and resentful energy."

Arthur is an expert in sensing energy; he cultivates the holy light energy of infinite justice, and he is very sensitive to any evil power, even the slightest bit.

Lian Yang spoke up, "How's your strength? Simple evil energy shouldn't make you so serious." Battle is the best way to cultivate friendship. After several life-or-death battles, Arthur had completely integrated into Lian Yang's four-person team.

"It's very complex, not just powerful." Arthur pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "I can sense that it's a soul, or rather, a group of souls, brought together by some powerful force."

"Let's go back to the City of Misfortune! We need to prepare." Upon hearing this, Lian Yang immediately knew who was ahead, but the problem now was that Lian Yang and the others had no way to cause any damage to the opponent.

Nodding, Arthur said, "That's what I suggested too. We can retreat while we're still out of sight, since we can't do anything to this vengeful aggregate of souls for the time being."

Alice, standing nearby, asked in confusion, "But Lian Yang, what does this have to do with us going back?"

Lian Yang said, "I need to borrow some of Celia's power. Her power will give us the ability to attack the monsters in front of us."

Alice nodded in sudden realization, "Phew, I didn't expect little Celia to have this ability. But Lian Yang, how did you know?" She looked at Lian Yang warily as she spoke, then blurted out, "You can't mess with Celia, she's mine!"

"Secret! Idiot! Dead Lily!"

Without turning his head, Lian Yang finished speaking and ran away. Alice, who was stunned for a moment, was not going to let Lian Yang get away with it. She raised her hand and launched several fierce attacks on Lian Yang, shouting, "Don't you dare run away! How dare you talk back to me! You've got some nerve!"

Albert Hotel, Celia Room

"It's so pitiful, please wait a moment!" After listening to Lian Yang and the others' account, the kind-hearted Celia couldn't help but clasp her hands together in prayer for the vengeful spirits in the old Huttonmar district with a sorrowful expression.

As Celia prayed, a soft light condensed in her hand and slowly shone on Lian Yang and the other three.

The moment the light entered his body, Arthur's eyes lit up as he looked at Lian Yang: "You knew all along, didn't you? Celia actually possesses such pure energy."

"What pure energy?" Celia asked with a puzzled look after finishing her prayer. "I was just praying for those miserable souls."

"It's nothing," Lian Yang said casually. "Leave the task of purifying those vengeful spirits to us."

"Oh, okay! And welcome to our new teammate, Arthur!" Celia knew she was somewhat extraordinary, but she didn't care. She was already very happy adventuring with Lian Yang and the others.

They rushed back to the City of Doom, obtained Celia's energy, and then immediately headed to the old district of Huttonmar.

Arthur asked Lian Yang with a puzzled look, "I always thought she was just an ordinary little girl, but I never expected her to possess such pure power."

"Ordinary?" Lian Yang chuckled and said, "As the only remaining elf in Arad, how could Celia be ordinary? It's just not the right time to reveal her identity."

Celia's identity has never been ordinary, and as for how they know Celia possesses the power to purify vengeful spirits... Lian Yang is, after all, a full-time expert in DNF (Dungeon Fighter Online), with two main accounts and over 40 max-level characters; he can recite almost the entire main storyline by heart.

In the original story, it was only after the character received the power of Selene's prayer that he was able to purify Gam, the dark ghost in the old district of Huttonmar.

"Hoo... Fight on, you damned black nightmare!" Arthur didn't dwell on it. Everyone has secrets, and it's enough to know that you won't hurt each other.

Arriving once again deep within the old district of Hutton Mar, the Dark Ghost Gam was still there, his immense evil energy and terrifying resentment as conspicuous as a torch in the darkness.

Sensing the presence of Lian Yang and the others from afar, the Dark Ghost Gam pounced wildly. Unlike other souls that still possessed human forms, the Dark Ghost Gam resembled a demon formed from pitch-black mist.

"Draw Sword Slash!" As soon as he got close, Lian Yang raised his hand and unleashed a draw sword slash. A flash of silver light cleaved the dark ghost Gham in two.

But in an instant, the separated bodies reassembled, though their pitch-black bodies faded almost imperceptibly.

"Attack it with some wide-range, high-damage skills." While the Draw Sword Slash is incredibly powerful, it only attacks along a single line. It's very effective against living beings, but it struggles against an energy-soul aggregate like the Dark Ghost Gham.

"Received, Rage Burst!" Baron easily arrived in front of the Dark Ghost Gam, and decisively unleashed a fierce Rage Burst attack on the Dark Ghost Gam.

For a moment, the body of the dark ghost Gham was directly ejected and scattered in all directions. But after a short while, it actually reformed into a demonic form. Only this time, it was much fainter.

Having figured out the pattern, Lian Yang said helplessly, "Phew, it seems this has turned into a war of attrition. We can only slowly deplete its energy." Lian Yang couldn't help but feel bored; this kind of purely attrition-based battle was really uninteresting.

"Not necessarily! Holy Light Cross." As Arthur spoke, he raised his hand and cast a Holy Light Cross. The cross formed from holy light accurately imprinted itself on the crazed dark ghost, Gham.

"Pfft!" At this moment, the dark ghost Gam was actually emitting steam and white smoke from his eyes. His entire appearance visibly faded.

"I knew it. The holy light that has received the power of Celia's prayers must have a restraining effect on these evil souls." With his thoughts confirmed, Arthur couldn't help but smile smugly.

"It's up to you!" Seeing that Arthur's attacks were effective, Lian Yang was too lazy to interfere in this inefficient battle. To be honest, although the Dark Ghost Gam's attacks were massive, he seemed to have gone mad after being hit the first time, his mechanical attacks completely missing. However, everyone's attacks were able to hit him accurately.

"Don't worry! Hammer of Repentance!" With a wave of his hand, he unleashed the Hammer of Repentance, causing the Dark Ghost Gam to fade away once again.

For a moment, Arthur was like a purification machine, constantly releasing holy light skills. Finally, when Arthur released the Holy Light Cross again, the Dark Ghost Gam finally disappeared completely, and everyone received a notification that they had gained experience.

"That shouldn't be the case, Arthur, you're fighting way too easily!" Baron asked, puzzled.

“No,” Arthur explained, “Seria’s power, the power of Celia’s prayer, caused chaos within this soul aggregate, which is why his attacks were so rigid. At the same time, under the combined attack of Celia’s power and the power of holy light, my attacks were so effective.”

Only then did everyone understand why the powerful dark ghost Gam had stood there like a fool, allowing Arthur to completely purify him.
