Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first? Chapter 96 - 96 3 Ghoul2

96: Chapter 3 Ghoul_2 96: Chapter 3 Ghoul_2 Light Body Skill.

Imdiately, dea felt as if her body’s weight had vanished, and with just a slight push of her feet, she could leap up instantly.

“Is this the Extraordinary Ability of Storm I?” she asked, turning her head.

“Only for three minutes,” Thira nodded.

“That’s enough,” dea quickened her pace.

“Two Night Watch Knights ahead have turned back to look,” Thira warned her.

“No problem,” dea said, “Just don’t get too close, I’ll monitor their thoughts.”

Thira knew she was an Extraordinary Ability wielder of the Mind Sequence, able to gauge the alertness of others, so she didn’t ask further.

Seeing the knights ascend to higher ground, Thira and dea walked counterclockwise around the base of the elevation.

When they arrived in front of the highland, they were taken aback by the scene before them.

Below the highland, on a plain about 100 ters away, road at least a hundred Corpse Ghosts.

Their skin was dessicated, their hair burnt yellow, and their nails stretched out long from their fingers, like the sharp claws of fierce beasts.

Most of the Corpse Ghosts moved on all fours, while so walked on their hind legs, resembling wild n from the deep mountains, their mouths gaping exaggeratedly, dripping with sickly green saliva.

“These are truly revolting creatures,” Thira couldn’t help expressing her distaste.

dea, on the other hand, was less perturbed.

Considering the more liberal atmosphere in the Mysterious Realm of Seljuk, with many desecrating corpses or cavorting with demons and Devils, she had seen plenty of more nauseating Corpse Ghosts, thus only cautiously said over the radio:

“Aske, the front line unit is in place.”

“Miel, how’s the view from the treetops?

Can you see dea and Thira?” Aske, accompanied by Nora, strolled to the hill at the 2 o’clock position to et with Peggy, then shouted up at the trees.

“The view’s good,” Miel set up her sniper rifle and replied, “Visual on dea and Thira confird.”

“Alright,” Aske finally said, “Everyone prepare, on my command!”

Elsewhere, the Night Watch Knights had also taken their positions.

Knight Captain Hasimodo climbed a highland on the left of the pass with four knights.

He glanced behind and saw that the mbers of The Azure Longsword rcenary Corps had all hidden themselves on a far-off small hillock.

“Cowards with their tails between their legs,” he thought contemptuously.

On the distant plain, several Ghouls had begun to notice the silhouettes on the highland and stood up, confused.

As the distance was quite significant and the Ghouls were upwind, they were only in alert mode for now, not yet charging in their direction.

“Aske…” fearing the Ghouls that had begun to stand up and look their way, Thira and dea felt sowhat apprehensive and inquired over the radio, “Should we move further away?

This distance…doesn’t seem safe, does it?”

“No, your task is to lure them, being too far from them would be ineffective,” Aske responded.

Lure them?

Both girls’ faces turned white instantaneously.

Heaven help us, we’re non-lee professionals being made to lure enemies!

For a mont, Thira even felt she made a big mistake—she never should have joined The Azure Longsword rcenary Corps!

“Aske, you bastard!

Have you lost your mind?” dea was already roaring in the Mind Channel, “One of us an Arcane Mage, and one a Mind Mage, neither suited for close combat, how can we be at the front luring enemies!

If sothing happens, will you take responsibility?”

“I’ll take responsibility,” Aske answered.

“Can you even bear such responsibility?” dea was almost frantic.

“I’m the captain, if I don’t take responsibility, who will?” Aske replied with a chuckle, “Can’t you at least trust a little?”

“Trust?” dea was nearly speechless, “What have you done to earn my trust?”

“Is there?

Have you forgotten the affair with the Conspiracy Formula?” Aske asked with a smile.

Conspiracy Formula…

dea suddenly rembered Aske’s outrageous maneuver, using the Conspiracy Sequence’s ability to sense malice for a classic remote ne-(gotation)tiation.

Upon reflection, it seed that whenever she clashed with this guy, the end result was always a brutal face-slapping.

For example, at their first eting, he had forced her to sign a Soul Contract.

Pretending to write on her sleeve, she was imdiately seen through and mocked by him, leaving her no choice but to sign an actual contract of servitude to him.

Or during the first team eting, when they were exchanging hidden knowledge, she had questioned whether he mastered the knowledge of the Bloodline Path.

He casually listed off a series of Magic Potion combinations, making her look like an idiot.

Or during the siege of Fire Island, when she doubted whether he could trigger a Burst, because the mont her body was touched by a male, it would erupt with flas over a thousand degrees Celsius.

But then he simply slapped her, inducing her Burst without harm…

even if it was without insult and malice, it bloody hurt to think about it now!

Alright, this guy was indeed formidable, almost infallibly so, with every plan achieving its expected effect.

But it was so damn infuriating!

Why hadn’t she burned this guy to death from the start?

dea decided to learn from Nora and buy a little notebook specifically for keeping grudges, to note down every single ti Aske wronged her.

“Can you still cast that Light Body Skill?” dea asked bitterly.

“Yes.” Thira stuttered the response.

“I need to warm up my legs.” dea began to do warm-up exercises, alternating leg presses and ankle rotations, “Otherwise, if I twist an ankle or fall while escaping later, it will be certain death.”

“Don’t say such inauspicious things!” Thira quickly said, “I…

I’ll join too.”

On the top of the hill to the right, three Night Watch Knights, ard with laser rifles and Shotguns, were waiting for instructions from Knight Captain Hasimodo.

“What are they doing?” Roger glanced sideways at the two girls below the hill, hopping and stretching, perplexed, “They seem to be dancing?”

“Forget those crazy girls,” Lorent cautioned, his gaze fixed on the distant horde of Corpse Ghosts, “unless necessary, do not increase physical presence.”

So, Knight Roger also silently recited the Razor Law, expelling unrelated thoughts from his attention.

Finally, the order ca from Hasimodo:

“All laser rifles, fire at will!”

Instantly, the sound of electric arcs piercing the air echoed in unison, and four deep red, slender beams of laser shot out, striking right into the densest part of the Ghoul horde.

It was like thrusting a Long Spear into a hornet’s nest; the entire Ghoul horde exploded into chaos.

Countless Ghouls charged frantically towards the elevated terrain.

Running on all fours, they sprinted across the ground with cheetah-like Agility, with wide mouths full of sharp teeth agape, their snake-like, slender tongues, and drool flailing like whips as they sped along.

“Listen well, dea!” Aske said over the Mind Channel, “Use your Desire Ability to manipulate the hunting desires of these Ghouls and attract their attack target towards us.”

“Aske!” dea nearly kneeled on the spot.

It was bad enough being bait, but to use Desire Ability for bait too?

Was this wishful thinking for a speedy death?

“With their speed, surely it’s at least ten ters per second, right?

If we attract them, we two won’t stand a chance of escaping!”

“Thira’s Light Body Skill can increase your speed of escape,” Aske said cooly, “We’ll provide remote support from here and won’t let you actually get caught by the Ghouls.”

“Are you sure?” dea asked, her face streaming with tears.

“Yes,” Miel answered.

“Alright then!” Since both teammates had said so, dea hesitated no longer and fiercely said, “Thira, cast the Light Body Skill on !”

Extraordinary Power flowed through the Secret Silver Circuits, and they both instantly felt as if their body weight had vanished.

At the sa ti, dea spread her right hand fingers, making a grasping gesture towards the horde of Ghouls ahead.

The Mind Body of an Undead Spirit is incomplete, primarily consisting of the id lingering within the decaying corpse.

And since dea’s Desire Ability acted directly upon the id, its effect was exceptionally profound.

All the Ghouls, in the midst of their charge, turned frenziedly and rushed straight towards dea and Thira.
