Chapter 179: Chapter 161: The New Owner of the Ghost Ship (Two-in-one, 6200 words)_1

Shadow Ghosts also have their limits!

This was the first time Mu You realized it.

Judging from the situation, level 30 seems to be the upper limit of its capabilities.

The reason it seems unable to defeat this level 30 ghost is because the Shadow Ghost lacks consciousness, always fighting on instinct.

That ghost, however, was intelligent, employing tactics to maximize its offensive and defensive capabilities, naturally gaining an advantage.

Of course, the Shadow Ghost wasn’t so easy to suppress; in this stifling situation, it transformed into a berserk Berserker, instinctively adopting a more aggressive eye-for-an-eye strategy.

To maintain suppression, the Pirate Ghost also had to speed up in response. Its immense sword swung violently, entering a grand exchange with the Shadow Ghost.

The exchange was extremely wild, with both sides almost completely disregarding evasion and parrying, relentlessly slashing and scratching at each other as their souls scattered about.

Mu You quietly observed their HP and quickly noticed that although both seemed stable, the Pirate Ghost’s HP was dropping slightly slower.

No wonder this guy chose to go head-to-head with the Shadow Ghost; he’d probably calculated that he would inevitably win this way.

As the confrontation reached its peak, both sides dropped to 50% of their HP. The Shadow Ghost, however, had already fallen to 40%, and the gap between them became obvious.

Mu You knew he had to intervene. If they were really battering each other fair and square it’d be one thing, but to take advantage of the Shadow Ghost’s lack of cunning, how could he stand by and let him win?

On the battlefield, the Pirate Ghost sidestepped to avoid a swipe from the Shadow Ghost, ready to pivot for a counterattack. But barely taking a step, a roar sounded from behind.

He turned back instinctively, only to see a massive Fireball hurtling towards him from a tricky angle.

Could it be anything but tricky? Mu You had practiced with the Pocket Watch over thirty times, finding the optimal angle and timing. The Fireball was aimed at the Pirate Ghost exactly in the middle of his counterattack, by the time he noticed, there was no time to dodge. He was hit straight on.

"Boom!"

In the next instant, the flames erupted.

Although a level 30 ghost faced against Mu You, a below level 10 player, had the advantage of a four-tier damage reduction buff, reducing damage to only 6% of the original, Mu You’s Vampire Skin and Titan Killer talent still gave a 5x increase, lifting the damage back up to 30%.

The Small Fireball’s reduced damage was not enough to seriously impair the pirate ghost, but was more than enough to cause some disruption.

The impact of the Fireball made the Pirate Ghost’s movement distort, forcing him to slice at thin air. The Shadow Ghost, in return, impaled his belly in a berserk attack, scattering souls and causing the Pirate Ghost’s HP to drop significantly, removing the slight advantage he previously held.

"Roar!"

The Pirate Ghost roared in fury, wishing to turn and see who’d played the dirty trick, but the Shadow Ghost didn’t give him the chance, seizing the opportunity to attack relentlessly, which forced the Pirate Ghost to focus entirely on defending.

However, just when the Pirate Ghost stabilized the situation and prepared to fight back, a thick wave of magic power attacked from behind.

Having learned his lesson, the Pirate Ghost didn’t even have time to look back and hurriedly rolled to the side.

He thought this timely reaction would be enough to dodge the sneak attack, but instead, he rolled right into another trap and was hit squarely by a rapidly rolling Snowball.

It turned out the Snowball wasn’t aimed at him but was launched off to the side. If he hadn’t moved, he would have been fine. But his roll made it seem like he was intentionally participating in a performance, colliding with the Snowball as if in a hurry.

The next moment, the Snowball exploded into countless ice crystals. Although there was no freezing due to the distance being less than eighty meters, the slowdown from the Snowball was problematic enough.

In the midst of falling snow, the Pirate Ghost’s body was covered in frost, causing a severe drop in movement and attack speed. The Shadow Ghost wouldn’t miss this opportunity, wildly attacking, taking nearly 20% of the Pirate Ghost’s life force in the blink of an eye, pushing him straight into a critical condition.

This time, the Pirate Ghost was even more furious. He turned to look at Mu You, who was not far off and still wielding his Magic Wand, and roared at his ship’s cabin.

Although he was occupied, he still had numerous minions at his disposal.

With his roar, the Pirate Ghosts who were hiding earlier once again poured out from the ship. Some moved towards the Shadow Ghost, surrounding him, while others rushed towards where Mu You was hiding.

Seeing the small ghosts flooding towards him, Mu You had no intention of taking them head-on and planned to retreat to the exit to take cover first.

But before he even moved, a specter suddenly flew out from the Lantern in his hand. Vieri’s ghost immediately grew to human size, blocking Mu You and roared at the advancing ghosts: "All of you, halt!"

At this order, the coming Ghost Toadies, and the ones surrounding the Shadow Ghost, immediately stopped, looking this way in disbelief.

Seeing their former captain emerge, the ghosts seemed to see something terrifying. Their soul fires flickered wildly in their eyes, their bodies shaking incessantly, unable to take one step forward.

In the eyes of these Ghost Toadies, Mu You saw infinite fear and guilt. This discovery sparked an insight within him.
