Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 396: 13 Ghosts

Miles, it is the same as the mysterious room where you found the Maroon Armor! Coin said in shock. This message was sent out in the same language as mine and the message is the same!

How is that possible? Miles asked in bewilderment. These pyramids are thousands of years old. Although the previous room was also old, the context we found in there was about monsters and races who had created AIs. But these pyramids are even older than those races.

Do you think the owner of the mysterious room built a base in these pyramids? Coin asked.

That is possible, but I believe there is something else. Miles didnt know why he thought so, but he felt there was some sort of ploy in all these. But he didnt have time to think. In the next second, a creature appeared in front of him.

It was three meters tall and had a humanoid shape. Its face was hideous with an evil smile plastered on it. The creature was ghostly as it was floating in the air. Instead of two hands, it had sword arms. Swords looked sharp yet the glint on them was hurting Miles's eyes as if they could penetrate his brain.

The creature at the moment was chuckling silently. It was granting his ears and causing his brain to shambles. The more he heard the chuckle the more he felt he was losing control. In the next second, a discharge of electricity woke him up from his stupor. Miles blocked his ears with energy as soon as Coin woke him up.

What are happening Miles? I felt you were under an illusion a second ago. Coin asked.

Cant you see that creature? Miles pointed at the ghost-like creature in front of them.

I see nothing in front, Miles. Coin reported, much to Miles's dismay.

It is some sort of specter. Miles shook his head. He drew the sword from his belt as his energy cracked the air. In some cultures, it was believed that ghosts were afraid of lightning, and would hide away in thunderstorms. They were also considered yin in nature in Eastern Mythologies, thus fire as one of the main elements of yang nature is a bane of them too. Now that Miles was using the sword with the fire element and his energy with the lightning element, he was hoping to injure this ghost. But before he could even try, echoes of previous laughter started to reverberate all around him.

Miles turned to look and saw more and more ghosts penetrating the thick walls of the pyramid and floating above him. They were different than the first one, some had hook hands, some had normal, some had triangle heads, and some had no head at all. In total there were 13 of them, and all looked scary as hell.

Shit! Miles cursed under his breath as he clutched the sword harder. He stood in the middle of the room as he gazed at them gingerly. He couldnt even lean back on a wall because ghosts could come out of walls. Coin couldnt see them either, so he was alone in this battle.

He dashed forward with Frontal Rush and appeared next to a short ghost. This one looked like a small child. It was holding a kitchen knife and there was an arrow pierced through its head. Although it looked like a human boy, Miles wasnt naive enough to let this stop him from killing this monster. He swung the sword from ground to sky as lightning followed the swords trajectory.

KREEEE!

The ghost boy shrieked in pain, as its phantom body dissipated to nothing. Miles was about to celebrate his first kill when the phantom boy appeared on his back and the knife he was holding was about to stab him in the back.

Miles had no time to dodge, so he shifted slightly so the knife would hit the bow on his back. As a bow orb at the peak of Frenzy-Rank, it was as tough as the hardest alloy in the same rank. The small knife collided with the bow and recoiled back. Miles didnt wait and attacked again, but this time activated the flame element in the sword as well. Two elements merged together in the air, as the sword slash arrived in front of the phantom. At this time, another ghost had already appeared near the boy. It was mortally obese, well, in this case, it was just obese. The fat ghost was holding an electric chainsaw.

BOOM!

With a loud explosion, two elements detonated together in the face of two ghosts. Much to Miles's surprise, two ghosts turned into gooey substances and fell to the ground this time. As if this thing was their true form.

Seems like an explosion can kill them. Miles thought to himself. Sadly, the peak tier sword was taking a toll every time he swung it. The energy in his body was only enough for another five flying slashes.

I have to kill multiple ghosts in each shot. He muttered as he tried to kite them together. At this time two female-looking ghosts started to float toward him. One of them had an ill-angled neck and had a rope on it. She was using the same rope that was tied around her neck to attack. The other was a thin woman with a short sword. She looked more macabre than others.

Two is not enough. Miles thought as he looked around. Not far from them, there was a headless ghost. Although it didnt have a head or eyes, it was still facing him, it didnt have a face. Miles dashed at this ghost and passed by him. Two female-looking ghosts followed after, and when the three were together, Miles swung the sword. One purple, one red, two intertwining strings of elements, much like the helix nebula blazing in the sky, flew towards the ghosts, and as they arrived amidst them as if they had been timed, they merged and exploded. Three other gooey substances fell to the ground.

Five down, 8 more to go. Miles sneered as he looked at others. But at this time, another ghost that looked like a middle-aged man with a beard shrieked. As if it was their leaders, the other seven split apart and stood in different spots. The leading ghost picked up Miles's plan and took countermeasures.

Since this is how you want to play, lets do it your way, Miles muttered as he lowered his stance. 8 ghosts, approached from eight directions. The way it stood, Miles had no chance to attack two ghosts with one attack, but he forfeited that plan. It was as if he gave up on any kind of resistance, but the ghosts were cautious. They were approaching very slowly. Miles took that and charged the sword with energy. He filled the sword to the brim but didnt change the nature of his energy. It was invisible and pure, not even ghosts could feel it.

Just as all ghosts arrived at his location and were about to attack, Miles jumped into the air and stabbed the sword to the ground. All the charged energy was unleashed at that second and lightning merged with fire. Wind also flared up the explosion and shook the structure. Debris started to fall from the ceiling, as the pyramid started to quake. And all ghosts melted in that big explosion.
