I'm Really Not Targeting the Mages

Chapter 11: Bloody Pit

...

[Ghost Guard LV8, HP 20, Defense MAX (Immune to Physical Attack) Weakness Lightning]

[Trait: Psionic Sense LV2]

[Psionic Sense: The ghost guard can see all traces of life within the perception radius, the perception radius is “ghost guard’s level-3″*0.2 (unit: 100 meters)]

...

“This information is so detailed.”

Roger thought to himself that the Qi Divination Technique might be at the point of upgrading.

According to this formula, the LV8 Ghost Guard had a perception radius of almost 100 meters.

His current location was extremely dangerous!

If he did not retreat in time, he was very likely to be exposed.

But the skill that Roger used was hiding instead of sneaking. Once he left the cover of the phoenix tree and moved too hastily, there was a high probability of being discovered.

And what was more troublesome was that the dead body of the inferior dwarf was still burning. Although it was left with only a handful of sparks, the ghost guards were extremely sensitive to flames.

So long as it approached closer, it would definitely sense something abnormal!

Unfortunately, the ghost guard was indeed heading over here.

“I can only give it a go.”

Roger looked back and could vaguely see a few figures on the hillside.

“Dorothy should be able to see it, right?”

He was not too sure about this.

It was daytime, so his eyesight was slightly weakened. He couldn’t see them clearly, and could not really tell if they could see him clearly.

With the mentality of giving it a try, he lifted his [hidden] state and made a few gestures toward the mountain.

Then he took off his cloak, took out the Green Beetle Sword, and lightly wiped a bit of paste-like liquid on the tip of the sword.

This was [Holy Water].

It was a good item that Uncle Terry had brought from Gem City. It had a strong weakening effect on the monsters of the undead class.

Many monsters of the undead class depended on the [ghost fire] for their lives.

When the low-level undead monster’s ghost fire touched the holy water, it would be instantly wiped out.

Just now, Roger also tried it with the Skeleton Soldier, and it had worked really well.

It was a pity that the amount of holy water was very little, and Roger only had a tiny bit of it left.

With the help of holy water, he had great certainty that he could kill this ghost guard.

But it all depended on Dorothy.

...

The ghost guard left the tower and was flying slowly to the side of the stream.

At this moment, the distance between it and Roger was very close to 100 meters.

Roger hid in the canopy of the tree, tightly holding the Green Beetle Sword, and his Qi Divination Technique was locked on the ghost guard.

The next second, the flying speed of the ghost guard suddenly increased!

“It has found me.”

Roger was not in a panic.

He knew that the ghost guard would definitely find him, but this kind of low-level monster did not have the ability to differentiate between the kinds of lifeforms.

In other words, it could only sense that there was a trace of life among the canopy, but it could not tell whether it belonged to a bird, a squirrel, or a person.

To ensure the safety of the Bone Outpost, it would definitely come and investigate.

And when that time came, it would be Roger’s opportunity.

...

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was already less than 30 meters.

“The speed of the ghost is really fast!”

And that was also why Roger didn’t try to use Violet Wind or Little Thumb.

The super high movement speed and dodge of the ghost meant that it had a high probability of dodging any attacks coming from a bow or a slingshot.

He must use the Green Beetle Sword to complete a fatal assassination.

It was getting closer and closer.

The ghost guard had passed the position of the inferior dwarf.

Fortunately, perhaps it was because it paid too much attention to the creature among the canopy, it didn’t notice the flame.

Roger’s heart was like still water, his body ready to launch at any time.

At this moment, a strange cry suddenly came from the hillside.

Several dark shadows suddenly ran down, making a huge clamour, attracting everyone’s attention.

And the ghost guard was no exception.

It actually stopped under the phoenix tree and looked over to the hillside.

...

Roger did not look back to see what happened.

His feet stomped hard on the branches of the phoenix tree.

His [raid] skill had been activated.

His figure was fast like lightning.

His sword gleamed like a rainbow.

When the blade of the Green Beetle Sword pierced the chest of the ghost guard, and the pure white holy water extinguished the blazing ghost fire, he then had time to look back——

A group of dwarves was fleeing in dismay down the hillside. They were making strange cries.

Roger gave his companions a knowing smile.

Now he had much greater confidence in this crusade.

At least his companions were reliable.

But now was not the time to slack off.

...

In order to divert the attention of another outpost and the ghost guards, Dorothy and the others had released the dwarf prisoners.

This meant that alarming the enemy was a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, now was the best time to launch a raid attack!

Roger quickly put on his cloak, and while the dwarves were attracting everyone’s attention, he rushed alone to the nearest outpost!

...

“Roger has understood our intentions.”

On the hillside, Dorothy was holding a long sword and spoke extremely quickly, “Uncle Terry will bring 7 people to siege the Eastern Outpost; the rest will join me to support Roger!”

“We must move fast!”

“But also pay attention in concealing yourselves. We will be going down the dense forest to the north, and we must launch the attack before the dwarves and the ghost guards come into contact!”

The other members of the main forces lowered their voices and responded in unison.

Led by Dorothy and Terry respectively, the two groups went down the mountain along two different sides of the dense forest.

But not long after, Dorothy suddenly stopped.

“What happened?”

Someone asked.

“Go east!”

Dorothy turned around and walked away without saying a word.

“But, but, but...”

The man who was confused was interrupted by Dorothy, “Roger has taken the Western Tower.”

“Did you not see that flag?”

“Go, let’s head east.”

She said without hesitation.

The others couldn’t help but widen their eyes in surprise, then glanced at the top of the western tower.

They did not know when it happened, but at the northern side of the tower, a flag from the Lord’s Mansion of Tongma Town was hanging.

The flag was dancing lightly in the gentle breeze.

...

[You killed a ghost guard]

[You’ve received 1 XP]

[Your sword (saber) drawing speed has been slightly increased]

...

[You killed a skeleton soldier]

[You’ve received 1 XP]

[Your fear resistance has been slightly increased]

...

The process of sieging the outpost was very smooth.

With the dwarves attracting everyone’s attention, Roger sneaked easily into the tower.

The tower of Bone Outpost had three floors.

The monsters on the first floor were six skeleton soldiers arranged in a loose formation.

Roger had plenty of time to mark them with [Marks of Evil], and then sent them to hell with the Little Thumb Slingshot and pebbles soaked in holy water.

The ghost guard on the second floor was still watching over towards the dwarves rushing across the river.

And once they saw each other, Roger sent it to hell with just a single strike.

In fact, when Roger encountered this ghost guard, it was “lagging” a little.

It might be because so many traces of life appeared in its perception range at once, which was too much for this kind of low-level monster to process.

No matter what, the first attack of the main force of the crusade team was considered a great success.

Roger gazed afar for a while.

After confirming that Terry and Dorothy were able to seize the western tower without causing any injuries on their side, he came to the center of the two towers.

There, he found a huge pit.

Observing with Qi Divination Technique, he could see numerous large clouds of blood within the pit.

The pit must be concealing something really unusual.

He went down the pit without hesitation.

Right at this instant, smells of rot and blood, mixed with the smell of unknown potion, all wafted towards him.

“A barrier that is blocking the airflow?”

Roger raised his eyebrows lightly.

There was an enchantment.

This meant a mage was here.
