Chapter 77 - Cursed Skull

Nie Yan climbed back to his feet and dashed toward his destination, clearing out the skeletons as he travelled along the narroisting passages of the Sulgata Raes, and finishi+ng off the last nearby Skeleton Mage, his experience bar had risen by two percent Along the way he had picked up h he still hadn’t had the time to sort them out yet

As he advanced onwards, he eventually encountered an area with no skeletal reht to be a safe area</eh the items he had recently picked up: twenty-seven coppers and two subpar pieces of Bronze equipment

Just as he was about to close his inventoryscroll at the bottoht his eye Only then did he recall that he had obtained such an itee he destroyed earlier

Written on this yellowed scroll were the ancient characters of the Dragon race It read: “Ancient spirits awaken from within the shadows”

It was a special one-use iteests, the player could su this scroll However, there were downsides In the event that the player failed to control the spirit, they would be devoured in turn

It was quite an unco was one in two thousand So, if one were lucky, they’d obtain it every so often while killing skeletons in the area The ghost su At best, it could be used as a ata that was filled with countless roah, there was a slight problem His low level would host, which hly possible it would try to devour him

Hmm… should I use it or not?

Nie Yan pondered for ait, then I’ll have a meat shi+eld at my disposal If I fail, however, hts in s , there won’t be anyfor a bit, he bit into his thu his blood to draw a dark red radually seeped into its fibres, the scroll began to radiate with a faint glow

The ancient seals written on the scroll were slowly beginning to activate

Soon, a dark ghastly energy eradually condensed into the form of a person The spirit he summoned was a Ghost assassin It appeared translucent and held a shadowy dagger in its hands

Ghost assassin: Level 10

Health: 230/230

Its stats actually weren’t bad for a Level 10 summon In his previous timeline, he had also used this item when he was Level 10 or so In those days, the price of a Spirit Suht silvers, which wasn't considered to be very expensive as the average player was able to buy them If he were to sell the scroll at theits current rarity, it would probably go for around ten silvers

The Ghost assassin's coth was decent, and it had a summon duration of thirty minutes It also possessed three skills: Shroud, Concussive Blow, and Self-Detonate With this su speed would certainly increase significantly

After being summoned, the Ghost assassin didn’t s with its cold eyes

Nie Yan attee an inch He tried once more, and this time, it actually moved

I succeeded? His heart filled with pleasant surprise With the Ghost assassin by his side, he’d have an extra hand to help fight the skeletons

Contrary to his expectations, however, the Ghost assassin’s dagger flashed with a cold glint as it suddenly dashed toward hi to devour h, as he never had high hopes to begin hen he suhost wasn’t merely a level or two above hi it couldn’t have been an easy matter

In the event that the player failed to control the su the suro onto

As it sped toward hied the Ghost assassin’s onco, he quickly pounced forward and went on the offensive

“Vital Strike!” Nie Yan shouted out as he slashed his dagger across the Ghost assassin’s neck

Yet, the attack seemed to be ineffective as its shadowy neck si cut Brandishi+ng the dagger in its hand, that ghastly being dashed forward and answered with an attack of its own

Nie Yan was forced back onto the defensive and had to constantly retreat as they fought Their positions were ever changing as they er than those frail skeletons Thankfully, he had only su tankier So although he was five levels below it, his dae values rose above the Ghost assassin’s head
