MMORPG: Strongest Assassin Online

Chapter 170 170 Ghoul





"We are here," Alex said.

"Wait, this is the same place we got the moonlight plants before and the large tree is still there, but it feels different," Max said.

"Flesh..." an eerie voice echoed.

"Shit, I knew this was going to happen" Melissa spoke, immediately she removed an arrow from her quiver.

The rest of them heard the voice and quickly looked around trying to figure out where the voice was coming from.

"Melissa, do you know what we are facing?" Alex asked.

"Ghoul" Melissa simply said, but from the looks of it, she was vigilant as she looked around and Alex knew the ghouls were bad news.

"Melissa, didn't you say ghouls were really troublesome, are we in danger?" Max asked.

"I faced them in the Silver Continent, but the ghouls here would be low-leveled so you have nothing to worry about except..."

"Flesh...flesh...flesh"

This time different voices echoed around the forest and they knew they were already surrounded, in front of the group a single one came.

They were already in the area where the moonlight plants grew and the plants were scattered all around giving little light to the area where they were.

"Flesh..." the ghoul who spotted them dashed towards them at full speed.

"He's coming here" Rebecca shouted.

'Inspect'

[Ghoul]

[Level 16]

[HP: 150/150]

"Level 16,150 HP" Alex shouted as they all took battle stances.

>SWOOSH!!<

Melissa immediately let go of the string of her bow and her arrow traveled with a whistling sound heading straight to the ghoul.

"They are fast, but no match for her" Max muttered.

Melissa's arrow hit the ghoul's leg pinning it to the ground, the ghoul stopped in its track and struggled to pull away from the arrow.

"Why didn't you finish it off?" Lynx asked.

"You can't finish it off, they are undead, you can finish them off by cutting off their heads or burning them with flames, they are extremely weak against fire," Melissa said.

[Fireball]

As soon as Gabriel heard 'burning them with flames' he quickly unleashed two fireballs to see what would happen.

"Yeeeeii..." the ghoul screamed as the flame quickly spread around its body burning it.

"Woah, that's effective, the ghoul's HP is down to 100, wait...60...50...30..." Alex smiled as the ghoul fell to the ground.

"Wow...I didn't know flame was this effective, I was told it was effective but I never tested it out" Melissa said.

"Uhmmm guys, I think you should turn around," Rebecca said with her voice cracking.

The five of them turned around and their jaws dropped, more than 30 ghouls were moving towards them.

"That's the problem, ghouls attack in groups to overwhelm opponents, and take note they may lay on the ground dead to ambush opponent, we should fight them off while Rebecca take the plants," Melissa said.

"Good idea, but the plants are scattered all over, last time we fought skeletons, there was a skeleton mage reviving more of them, it might be the same for the ghoul," Alex said.

"I don't know about that but we have to get the plants and find a way out before they surround us," Melissa said.

BAM!!

Lynx shot one of the ghouls and separated the head from the rest of the body, the ghoul fell down immediately dead.

"Good news, I can kill them, bad news I have to wait 30 seconds before I can strike again," Lynx said.

Slowly the group was moving backward to create space between them and the ghouls, Melissa's arrows weren't unlimited but she had up to 100 in her possession, same with Lynx.

"I have an idea, Gabriel shot me three of your fireballs," Alex said.

"Huh!! what the heck are you saying, I should shoot you with my fireballs, you realize you are going to die right, like die for real" Gabriel mouthed.

"Why should he shoot you?" Melissa asked immediately.

"Gabriel...I said shoot me three of your fireballs" Alex spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Don't blame me when you die" Gabriel shouted as he stretched his hands towards Alex.

"Hey guys, the enemy is right in front of us, this isn't time to play, we are going to die for real" Rebecca spoke in a worried voice.

[Fireball]

The rest of them moved away a little and Gabriel shot three fireballs straight at Alex, but instead of setting him on fire, the flames were absorbed by his body shocking the rest of them.

[Absorbing Flame spell]

[Amplifying Flame spell]

[Next attack contains triple effect of Flame spell]

Alex smiled as he saw the information in front of him, immediately he dashed towards the ghouls in front of them.

"Where is he going? What is he doing?" Melissa shouted.

"Alex...what just happened" Gabriel mouthed, but Alex was concentrating, he still wasn't all that good at releasing the energy he absorbed but this wasn't the first time he was doing it.

Alex narrowed his gaze to the ghoul in front, the ghoul was a little far from the rest of them, both of his daggers were still in his hands.

The ghoul in front was level 17 and the same as zombies, ghouls were really slow and Alex also had that in his head.

His plan was simple, get in the center of the ghouls and the ghoul in front was the perfect springboard.

"Flesh..." the ghoul in front shouted as Alex ran towards it.

As soon as Alex was in range he quickly bent down and aimed for the ghoul's legs, the ghoul stretched its hands but Alex was faster as he reached down and used his strength to hit both of the ghoul's legs causing it to fall on the ground, immediately Alex moved backward.

"What is he doing?"

"Is he in his right sense, or is that thing back again?" Lynx asked.

"What thing?" Melissa asked.

"Sometimes Alex becomes someone else," Lynx said.

"Isn't someone else a little bit much, he just gets too engrossed in a battle that he doesn't pay attention to others" Max said.

As soon as the ghoul raised its head to stand up, Alex dashed forward immediately and used the ghoul as a springboard to jump higher.

The rest of the ghouls were now closer and to them Alex was a piece of meat falling from the sky.

"Huh!!" Lynx shouted.

"Is he trying to get himself killed?"

"Alex!!!" Melissa shouted.

"Flesh...flesh...flesh" All the ghouls attention were now shifted to Alex who was in the air with his eyes closed.

"Now" Alex mouthed as he opened his eyes.

Gabriel's fireball spell was weaker but on ghouls, it was super effective, and Alex had no doubt as he landed in the center of the ghouls.

His energy absorption also amplifies the absorbed energy increasing its power and range and as soon as he landed in the midst of the ghouls the flames were released.

The flame burst out of Alex's body igniting more than twenty of the ghouls all at once, the ghouls immediately dashed away from Alex running away.

"What just happened?" Gabriel said in shock.

"Alex isn't a mage right?" Lynx said laughing nervously.

"What power is that, even top players aren't able to generate flames from their bodies" Melissa mumbled.

"Incoming" Max said as the ghouls were now running towards them, even the ones in flames.

Alex quickly brandish his daggers after releasing the flames, the ghouls were running away from him so this was the perfect opportunity to kill them, Alex was used to striking an opponent's neck and his Blood dagger proved useful.

His demon blade wasn't able to behead the ghouls in one strike but the blood dagger did the job perfectly, Alex just had to put his strength and attack.

The rest of them quickly joined the fight quickly killing off the rest of the ghouls.

Alex alone was able to kill 17 ghouls by himself giving him an increase of 2,805 XP.

"I think that's all, we should get the plants quickly," Alex said immediately as he rushed towards the plant closest to him.

"Humans..." a voice whispered.
