My Cell Prison

Chapter 75: Joint Operation (1)

The study is located on the second floor of the Baker home.

As it is uncertain if there are still ghosts lingering outside the door.

Coslin, on the floor of the study, saw a hole through which a single person could pass.

Han Dong and Coslin continue as a group down through the hole.

The lower end corresponds to the utility room on the first floor.

Captain Cass teams up with Fia, who provides various holy light buffs to maximize Cass' 'Anti-Pollution' stats, as well as the ability for Cass to apply the buff 'Crusader Force' himself.

Enhancing all physical attributes, it also boosts willpower and greatly reduces the effects of pollution on the brain.

The first step in the plan, Cass prepares to confront the ghosts wandering the mansion head-on.

During the time that Cass had bought, all the team members spread out their stations and surrounded the 'ghost' at different angles to kill it as quickly as possible.

Even though everyone's weapons had "King's Blessing" cast on them by Celeste and had the attribute of Holy Light attached to them.

However, when it came to fighting these evil things, the most damage was done by the Holy Light spells directly cast by Fia, Therefore, the core of this plan was centered around Sophia.

Once the stance was complete, Sophia would be in full fire output mode, and Han Dong and Coslin would need to ensure Sophia's safety as they performed their assisted attacks.

-----------------------

Before the action, Sophia also looked worried.

"Brother Cass, watch out! The diary mentions that a century-old sycamore tree was accidentally incorporated into it when performing the evil refinement, which is why a 'twig structure' appears on the ghost.

The other party may be using plant-like abilities, so be careful!"

"Well, we fought against tree spirits together in Destiny Space. I still have some experience, and while I hold off the ghosts, Fia you need to quickly take a position with the two of them.

If there's any danger, I'll do my best to protect you."

Fia's cheeks flushed at Cass' words as well.

She didn't fall in love with Cass simply because Cass was handsome and had a different kind of knightly temperament. Rather, it was that when danger came, Cass would always stand in front of her.

No matter how dangerous it was, Cass would always be the first to step forward.

Whether it was life or death, Cass would let his teammates leave first.

----------------------------

"Whew."

As Fia jumped down to the utility room on the first floor.

The sunny smile that hung on Cass' face immediately faded, and he instantly sank into a fighting stance.

Taking a deep breath.

Cass was also a little nervous, after all, he was going to be facing a target that wasn't sure exactly what characteristics he had, none of his abilities were known.

"The previous diary contamination was all it took to crack the goggles on Coslin's face, and the individual was deeply contaminated, and I need to face a monstrous being that merges with five people and incorporates the characteristics of a plant.

The Celeste Knight is already deep underground and impossible to support.

Once my teammates don't have enough firepower, I'm likely to die here.

If, I can't even do that, I won't be able to get enough 'benefit' from the next difficult Destiny space, and sooner or later, I'll be eliminated from the ranks of the knights."

A hot cross mark appeared between Cass' brows.

The tension was gone, and there was no more fear in his eyes.

Crack! A kick right through the study door, deliberately creating noise to attract the ghost's attention.

Except, there was nothing outside the door.

What caught Cass' eyes was a completely 'restored' high-class mansion that couldn't catch any ghosts at all.

The [Crusaders] possessed powerful physical qualities unlike others, as well as the ability to harness various types of weapons, and even after the Talent Tree matured, they could harness various elements to attach their energy to weapons, or reconstruct their flesh, etc.

However, there was still a deficiency.

That was the ability to detect and perceive.

You can only capture targets through your own perception and flesh eyes, and although you can act as the leader of the squad, you will definitely need a teammate who is proficient in scouting to assist you from the side.

In the past, the one in charge of scouting in the squad was Coslin.

As a result of not being able to capture the target in the first place, coupled with the eerie and cold environment of the mansion, as well as the hidden cries coming from the corners, Cass unconsciously broke out in cold sweat.

"Where did it go?"

Cass tried to jog down the second-floor corridor, full alert!

Even if someone suddenly attacked from behind at this time, he could quickly counter.

However, there was still a flaw, and that was underfoot.

Walking down the wooden corridor, there were slender plant vines slowly growing between the cracks in the floor, completely escaping Cass' perception.

Tap!

One more step as he stepped out.

The growth of the vine soared and instantly wrapped around Cass' legs.

[Freeze]

Not only that, the branches continued to twist upwards, binding Cass' body and arms.

This kind of vine was extremely tough, and once it was entangled in large amounts, it was difficult to break free through brute force, Even Cass, a three-star [Crusader], couldn't do it.

"Shit!"

At the same time.

The white curtain slowly descended in front of Cass.

A terrifying woman half-hidden in the white cloth was in near-zero contact with Cass.

The experienced Cass closed his eyes at the first instance to maximize protection against the intrusion of the contamination, Meanwhile, Cass' barely mobile wrist was fumbling with an item at his waist.

Of course, the specter wouldn't just stand still.

Cackle Cackle (the growing sound of some sort of slippery object)

Some kind of horrible object, is growing between the palms of a woman's hands.

A soft root, in a form somewhere between a plant and a tentacle.

In addition to its vegetal qualities, the whole thing appears soft and smooth.

When this soft root was attached to the armor that Cass was wearing, it immediately produced white smoke that seemed to be corroding the pure silver armor.

Gakk~Gakk!

The roots creep up against the armor, crawling right up to the face, and the danger is clear.

Once Cass' eyelids are propped open, it's all over.

The moment of truth.

The 'goodies' worn on Cass' waist touched.

It was a 'kerosene bomb' made by Coslin.

Cass, who has had experience fighting tree spirits, knows one thing very well: evil things related to trees are bound to be "afraid of fire".

Kerosene bombs are thrown with the force of the wrist.

Upon impact with the object, the internal accelerant reacts immediately and burns on contact with the oxygen in the air, detonating the glass body and igniting the fuel inside.

Boom!

The flames rose.

The front half of Cass' body was also covered in flames, and the plants climbing on Cass' armor were completely burned away.

"Cross Cut"

The longsword with the holy light effect quickly cut, and also followed up with a spinning back kick that hit the 'specter' squarely in the abdomen.

This kick directly hit the fire-burning phantom out of the air.

At the same time.

Coslin, who happened to be setting up his gun at a distance, locked onto the phantom's body and fired three shots in a row.

The holy light attribute silver bullets penetrated the phantom's deadly parts with precision.
