Chapter 2554 Breaking In
Leave?
Or not?
The special mission had time and location constraints. Leaving would mean a complete failure of the mission.
Fang Heng thought for a moment before looking up and saying, "In my judgment, the undead storm outside is part of the mission's difficulty. If we choose to withdraw now, the mission line will definitely fail."
Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang had been hesitant, but Fang Heng's words made them even more uncertain.
Li Shaoqiang clenched his teeth and said, "Mr. Fang, just say it. Whatever you decide, we're with you on this gamble!"
"Alright, then we won't leave. Let's focus on the mission. Since the Licker has found the exit, we'll follow that route," Fang Heng replied, lifting his gaze to a nearby maze-like passage. "It's not far from our current position. Let's set off!"
...
"What are they doing? Why haven't they evacuated?"
Through the mirror projection, the higher-ups of the undead council watched as Fang Heng and his group not only failed to retreat but instead ventured deeper into the mausoleum's lower maze. This prompted a fresh wave of hushed discussions among them.
"Please, everyone, remain calm."
Dickey understood Fang Heng's character and nodded, "Fang Heng must have found some clues, but he can't inform us. Right now, we're lacking intelligence, making it difficult to make the most precise judgments."
"Since we've chosen these three, we must fully support their decisions."
Georgi added thoughtfully, "Let's continue observing. Keep the holy weapon in operational status. If anything unexpected happens, we need to restart it immediately and be ready to protect them."
Below the council, Shi Lipeng watched enviously.
Maintaining the holy weapon in an active state required immense energy from the undead instructors.
For the sake of Fang Heng and his companions, the entire undead council was going all out.
Shi Lipeng silently sighed, wishing he could be the center of attention one day.
He glanced back at the mirror projection.
In the projection, Fang Heng and his group followed the path cleared by the Licker, steadily making their way forward. All the zombies in the mausoleum had been dealt with by the Licker swarm along the way.
Their progress was remarkably smooth.
Before long, the three of them arrived at a wider, straight passage.
Behind them, the maze continued to produce numerous zombie guards, but none emerged from the passage ahead.
This led them to believe that they were nearing the exit they sought.
Hmm?
Fang Heng raised an eyebrow.
As he took his first step into the passage, a faint blue light suddenly blossomed on the walls and floor.
Blue inscriptions flickered in and out of visibility.
The glow pulsed!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"
Looking ahead, Fang Heng's eyelids twitched slightly.
What the heck!
Before him was a dense mass of gray!
A large number of high-tier vengeful spirits surged from the depths of the passage, rushing toward them!
There were too many!
They crowded together, almost completely filling the passage!
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo felt a chill run down their spines at the sight.
They had encountered high-tier vengeful spirits before, but they had never seen so many at once!
"Retreat!"
Fang Heng immediately backed away, switching to his sacred form as the Book of Creation appeared in his hand. A wave of weapon blessing surged toward the Licker swarm behind them.
Golden light flickered over the Lickers.
After receiving the divine blessing enchantment, the Licker swarm gained a brief ability to combat spirit forms and immediately charged at the high-tier vengeful spirits.
Unfortunately, the effect was limited.
Fang Heng's weapon blessing could only be cast in an area, and due to cooldown times, he couldn't enchant all the Lickers at once.
He could withstand the onslaught, but Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo certainly couldn't.
"D*mn it!"
Li Shaoqiang cursed and quickly turned to run. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As they sprinted back, the vengeful spirits surged forward like a flood, showing no signs of stopping.
The blessed Lickers jumped into the fray, attacking the approaching spirits!
However, there were too few blessed Lickers, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the mass of vengeful spirits.
"Bang!"
The lifeblood long sword that Fang Heng carried on his back erupted, forming a flurry of small blood swords that flew through the air, relentlessly slicing through the vengeful spirits that drew near.
After running for more than two minutes, they were almost back to the maze, leaving the passage behind.
Suddenly, Li Shaoqiang's expression changed dramatically as he shouted, "Mr. Fang! It's bad! There's more behind us!"
This was not good!
Fang Heng turned to look back and saw that the walls of the passage they had just come through were now covered with the same eerie blue inscriptions he had seen earlier.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"
Vengeful spirits began to emerge from the walls, rushing toward them!
In an instant, the group found themselves surrounded by a swarm of vengeful spirits closing in from all directions.
"Ha..."
He hadn't expected to encounter so many vengeful spirits...
It seemed he would have to use that technique.
A sharp glint appeared in Fang Heng's eyes.
"Step back!"
He shouted, immediately switching to his sacred study state, summoning the great holy sword into his hands.
"Whoosh!!!"
As Fang Heng turned, he swung the great holy sword forward!
"Boom!!!"
The mass of vengeful spirits charging toward Fang Heng collided directly with the swing of his great holy sword, instantly turning to ash with a hiss!
"Buzz!!!"
The second wave of holy ripples spread outwards, sending large numbers of vengeful spirits into a severely injured state!
The effect was quite good!
Fang Heng coldly scanned the swarm of vengeful spirits still rushing toward them and swung the great sword once more.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"
With three consecutive swings of the great sword, waves of holy ripples surged forward. The high-tier vengeful spirits gathered in the passage could not withstand the enhanced holy damage stacking from the three strikes and burst apart on the spot!
It seemed he had taken care of them.
Normally, the great holy sword was not something that should be exposed to outsiders. With so many people from the undead faction watching, Fang Heng didn't want to use this technique.
But given the circumstances...
"Let's go!"
Fang Heng quickly summoned a holy barrier, holding the great holy sword in one hand. He swung it, creating waves of holy ripples as he and Li Shaoqiang moved deeper into the passage.
Meanwhile, in the undead council chamber, the high-ranking members were momentarily silent as they watched the scene unfold on the mirror screen.
Seeing the sudden surge of high-tier vengeful spirits had made the necromancy instructors sweat for Fang Heng; even the oldest among them was shaken.
They had to admit that facing such a situation would have been extremely challenging for them.
Just when it seemed Fang Heng would be cornered, he unexpectedly pulled out the holy weapon from the Holy Court and effortlessly resolved the problem.
