"Gurgle!" Crom looked at the terrifying monster, swallowed the non-existent saliva, and said with a trembling voice, "I guess this thing is a Corpse Ghost, made from a large number of corpses. Judging by its size, it's at least at the Extreme level!"
"Extreme!!" Everyone was shocked.
Although creatures like Corpse Ghosts didn't possess much intelligence and were only formidable opponents when fought individually, that was under the assumption of similar strength. However, what strength did they have now? They didn't even have a single Extreme-level existence. Even Crom couldn't fully unleash his power at this moment, at most, he could barely match an Extreme opponent.
As for the other people, Crom considered them as well. Only Auben and Xing's strength could barely make him feel confident, but even if the three of them joined forces, they definitely wouldn't be a match for this Corpse Ghost.
"Roar!" The Corpse Ghost, with its blood-red eyes, looked at Crom and the others. Its terrifying body slowly moved towards them, emitting a sound that made people turn pale.
"Blood... I smell the scent of blood..." The Corpse Ghost extended its huge palm towards Bexia and the others, emitting a foul stench that was even more disgusting than a pit filled with excrement, combined with the wriggling rotten flesh and pale human heads. This challenged the nerves of everyone present.
Terrifying! Disgusting! Horrifying!
"Ah woof!" Lulumon, after just one glance, jumped into Bexia's arms and started crying. It had actually scared the Death Summoner to tears, indicating just how frightening this Corpse Ghost was!
The faces of some other girls turned pale, and even some male comrades couldn't bear it. Some even felt so disgusted that they vomited.
"Earth Splitting Slash!"
Crom, being the former Elf Hero, truly lived up to his reputation. With just a slight frown, although he felt disgusted by this Corpse Ghost, he didn't hesitate at all. He swung his battle axe, and a sharp edge easily cut through the Corpse Ghost's arm. The creature, composed purely of rotten flesh, had weak defense.
"Thump!" The giant hand was severed from the wrist, but the Corpse Ghost didn't feel any pain. It lacked any sensation, to begin with. However, what happened next made the acid in Bexia's stomach churn.
"Roar!" The Corpse Ghost opened its mouth, resembling the jaw of a snake, filled with countless human heads. All of them began to scream, their voices trembling. Everyone felt as if their heads were being stabbed by countless needles. Blood trickled from their seven orifices, and several severely injured individuals were even killed by this sonic attack.
Only Bexia and Lulumon were unharmed. The Thousand-Change Robe's defense easily withstood such an attack. Bexia had a powerful physique and a strong soul, though she felt slightly dizzy. However, she quickly recovered. Unfortunately, the others were not as fortunate, almost everyone was left on the verge of fainting due to the impact of the sound waves.
However, this sonic attack was just a prelude. The severed hand of the Corpse Ghost on the ground began to wriggle, and dozens of tentacles protruded from the severed part. The tips of the tentacles resembled buds, and when they burst, corpse ghosts with only their upper bodies appeared one after another.
"Blood...fresh blood..."
Tentacles lifted the corpse demons, each the size of a normal human, and rushed towards the group. The adventurers, still stunned, were unable to defend themselves. By the time Bexia reacted, several adventurers had already been caught and torn apart by the corpse demons, their screams piercing the air and finally awakening a few others.
"Flash step!"
"Radiant Blade Flash!"
Bexia put away the ordinary warblade in her hand and drew out the Hidden Dragon Cold Star. With a swift movement, she appeared in front of the giant palm.
"Slash, slash, slash!"
Although the tentacles were tough, they were no match for a champion-grade weapon. They were easily cut off, causing the corpse demons to fall to the ground, instantly releasing a burst of black smoke and turning into a pile of scattered bones.
"Freeze!"
Seeing that the severed parts were still wriggling as if they were regenerating, Bexia immediately activated the power of the Hidden Dragon Cold Star. A strong cold air instantly froze the giant palm, the effect better than her previous attempts. However, upon sensing the surrounding environment, she immediately understood why. It was obvious that they were in the midst of an ice magic stone vein, which provided a large amount of ice elemental support, enhancing the power of the Hidden Dragon Cold Star.
Bexia had been exploring the power of the Hidden Dragon Cold Star. The ability to freeze targets in battle, which she had developed a few days ago, was incredibly powerful, much stronger than the natural cold aura it emitted.
"Boom!"
Bexia swung her warblade, shattering the frozen giant palm. Sensing that a part of its body had lost connection, the giant corpse demon roared in anger. Its other arm hammered down on Bexia, while countless tentacles emerged from its body, each carrying a small corpse demon with a screeching scream, attacking the others.
"Cold aura domain!"
Bexia felt that this place was suitable for battling with the Hidden Dragon Cold Star. She immediately released the range of the cold aura domain, causing a resonance with the surrounding environment. Any area touched by the cold aura began to freeze rapidly, slowing down the movement speed of the small corpse demons. Layers of ice covered their bodies until they ultimately shattered into pieces on the ground.
"Roar!"
Feeling its attacks being blocked, the giant corpse demon became even more furious. Its originally pounding fist suddenly transformed into a huge bone knife, slashing towards Bexia. At the same time, the broken wrist sprouted a massive tentacle, twisting and attacking like a living snake.
"Boom!"
The giant bone knife missed its target, and Bexia wasn't foolish enough to directly confront such an attack. However, the incoming tentacle that was twisting towards her made her expression change. Hidden Dragon Cold Star had surprisingly not cut through the tentacle when it collided with it, not even cutting it in half.
"Smack!"
The agile tentacle suddenly attacked from behind, and Bexia quickly turned around to defend herself. However, in close combat like this, the power of the corpse demon overwhelmed her, sending her flying with a loud slap.
"Ooooh!" Bexia whimpered, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She could sense her bones groaning under the immense power of the zombie.
"Blood...I need blood!" the colossal zombie roared as it lunged at Bexia, its massive fist swooping down towards her.
