Chapter 115: Chapter 115: No One Can Match Him_1

"Damn, it’s truly powerful?"

Mu You realized he had underestimated the power of the Shadow Ghost.

A level 25 monster couldn’t withstand even a single strike from it. Ripping through a monster was as easy as tearing a piece of paper apart.

This kind of strength would certainly be enough to solo a dungeon!

The real problem was...this side effect was too terrifying, wasn’t it?

Mu You looked at the last but one sentence of the text.

Not being able to gain experience and losing life was acceptable, but he even couldn’t open the game panel.

In other words, his game was now controlled by the Shadow Ghost, and he himself had become a complete puppet. Until death or the Shadow Ghost gets bored, he couldn’t be freed.

Seeing that time was about to pass five seconds, Mu You quickly pressed the backtrack button, returning to before the Shadow Ghost was released.

"[Time is flowing, you are once again back at the front of the spring.]

[Having witnessed the power of the Shadow Ghost, you’d not be foolish enough to release it again, so this time, you choose...]

Mu You did not hurry to continue, he instead put down his phone temporarily and contemplated.

Now it seems that to utilize the power of the Shadow Ghost, he must first solve two problems: how to actively let it leave himself, and how to seal the Shadow Ghost again after using it...

As long as he can solve these two problems, this Shadow Ghost can be used as his ’temporary auxiliary’ in the game!

The first problem is actually not difficult to solve: since he can get rid of it when he dies, he just needs to find a way to kill himself. After all, death in the game only cuts a bit of his lifespan.

As for how to kill himself, maybe he can figure out a way from the cursed spring...

The main problem is still the second one, how to reseal the Shadow Ghost.

Thinking of this, Mu You looked towards Canary who was resting by a desk not far away.

"Vivian, if I release the Shadow Ghost, can I reseal it back in the box afterward?"

Upon hearing his question, Canary from afar looked over curiously: "What are you trying to do?"

Mu You did not conceal anything and described the dilemma he was facing in the game to her in detail.

"In that case... you can."

Vivian’s answer lit up Mu You’s eyes: "How do I do it?"

"If you die while the Shadow Ghost is possessing you and are revived nearby, and there are no other creatures around the Shadow Ghost, it will rush to possess you again. You just need to open the box at the moment it gets close to you, and you can reseal it in the box."

"But bear in mind, the Shadow Ghost is fearful of the Sealed Box. If you take out the box too early, the Shadow Ghost will sense its presence and run away, and if you take it out too late, you’ll be possessed again and won’t be able to control the box any longer. Therefore, your chance lies in a single moment, not a moment too early or too late," Vivian added.

"Is that so..."

Mu You slightly nodded his head in deep thought after hearing her explanation.

The conditions imposed by Vivian were quite harsh; ordinary people wouldn’t be able to fulfill them at all.

However, he was different. With the Time Pocket Watch at hand, he could rewind time infinitely. Even if the opportunity lasted only a moment, as long as he attempted enough times, he was bound to succeed.

Of course, even so, this was still a very risky endeavor. If there was a mistake in the use of the Time Pocket Watch, and he failed to tame the Shadow Ghost in the end, the situation in the game would completely escape his control...

Mu You hesitated for a while but eventually decided to take the risk after weighing the potential immense benefits after a successful taming.

However, before this, he must first roll a curse that can make him commit suicide, whether actively or passively. Otherwise, everything else was just empty talk.

With this in mind, Mu You opened his game panel and clicked on the ’Grave Digger skin’.

Now, if he wanted to permanently add a curse to the skin, certainly he’d choose this useless one.

"[You’ve loaded the Grave Digger skin and your appearance has transformed into a Grave Digger.]"

"[You’ve walked up to the Cursed Spring and took a drink.]"

’[You’ve obtained the curse ’Arachnophobia’: Whenever you see any form of spider, you would experience fear from deep within.]"

"What the hell? Rewind." Mu You, with a strange expression, resolutely pressed the Pocket Watch.

[Time flows on, you’re back in front of the cursed water fountain, about to drink from it again.]

[You’ve received the curse ’Forgetfulness’: you will randomly lose one of your belongings every day.]

"emmm...Let’s go back."

[... You’ve received the curse ’Perpetual Toothache’: one tooth in your mouth will always be in pain unless you pull them all out.]

...

[You’ve received the curse ’Absolute Vegetarian’...]

...

[You’ve received the curse ’Muted’...]

...

It has to be said, rolling a specific curse isn’t as easy as it seems.

The curse pool is richer than imagined, Mu You has tried nearly nine hundred times, virtually seeing all kinds of random curses, before finally stumbling upon one that fits the requirements.

[You’ve received the curse ’Rage Attack’: When you are angry, savage, or sad and in others negative emotions, your HP will decrease at a rate of 2% per minute.]

"This one will do!"

Mu You quickly stopped.

The precondition for this curse is just negative emotions, and the Shadow Ghost itself is a collection of negative emotions, once possessed, it will certainly trigger the curse.

With a 2% HP decrease per minute, even if other monsters cannot damage the Shadow Ghost, it will automatically die after fifty minutes of possession!

Fifty minutes, should be enough for the Shadow Ghost to clean up the monsters in this instance...right?

[Since you have drunk from the spring, the imposing force on your body is gone!]

[You’ve approached the pathway again, caught the attention of the Graveminder Gremlin, and once again taken out the Shadow Ghost Box, lifting its lid...]

[Seems like you didn’t learn your lesson before! The Shadow Ghost escaped from the box and entered your body again.]

[You’re once again controlled by the Shadow Ghost!]

[Violent emotions are wandering inside you, murderous feelings overwhelm your consciousness, the curse ’Rage Attack’ is automatically triggered, your HP begins to decrease continually.]

"Success!"

Mu You, clutching tightly onto the Time Pocket Watch, breathed a sigh of relief as he read the text.

Of course, this is only the first step.

As for the remaining steps, Mu You had no room to operate, at this time the whole game screen had been hijacked by the Shadow Ghost. For the next fifty minutes, he could only stay put watching the Shadow Ghost’s show.

[Under Shadow Ghost’s control, you easily tore the Graveminder Gremlin to pieces again, Experience +0, Lifespan +0.]

[After the Graveminder Gremlin’s death, you saw the mercenary sculptures around the hall suddenly come alive, jumping off the platform one by one, holding weapons, and charging towards you.]

[Gargoyle Knight Lv.26, Attack 255-260, HP 24500, Magic 300. Abilities: Taunt, Shield Block.]

[You crushed the Gargoyle Knight holding the weapon, Experience +0, Lifespan +0.]

[You easily pierced the Gargoyle Knight’s shield, then tore the knight in front of you to pieces, Experience +0, Lifespan +0.]

...

Texts were popping out at a stable rate, every four to five seconds.

Soon, all the Gargoyle Knights in the field were shredded into pieces by the Shadow Ghost.

Not content, the Shadow Ghost heard movement from the various passages, and it directly dashed into the nearest one, starting a frenzied slaughter again.

For the next few moments, Mu You just stared dumbfounded at the screen, witnessing various novel monsters appear, such as Domesticated Demons, Gargoyles, Skeletons, Ancient Tomb Ghosts, Headless Knights, Two-Headed Ogres and so forth...all wild monsters above Lv.25!

Mu You found that he had underestimated this instance, even if a team of Lv.20 players cooperated to charge into it, they definitely couldn’t clear this level dungeon.

However, these creatures were no match for the Shadow Ghost, they could only be slaughtered like cutting vegetables!
