Chapter 745
A black phantom emerged from a wall in the corner . It went through another wall before it crept out the other end, floating around without a shred of care .
The phantom had a blue glow to it, hooded cloak, without legs or arms, the phantom had only an avian head to complete its ghastly loadout, it fluttered with the cold winds here .
Like a blind creature, the monster roamed around in a peaceful manner . It passed the petrified players like it's just minding its own business .
Wu Yan and Asuna had yet to recover from their stunned state . One of them had a look of confusion while the other had a sickly pale face . Her o-shaped lips opened wider and wider .
Wu Yan reacted immediately by covering her mouth, preventing her from shrieking .
"Calm down! Calm down! Asuna!"
Wu Yan bitterly laughed while gagging her .
"It's just a monster, not a ghost . . . "
A cold gust blew pass Wu Yan when he said this, he shivered on reflex and he awkwardly beamed at Asuna .
Finally, she returned to her original self with tears in the corners of her eyes . She sneaked another glance at the phantom and she shut her eyes tight . She also grabbed onto Wu Yan's arm for dear life .
"Yan . . . Yan . . . yan . . . "
Asuna who was so terrified she dared not look one more time continued calling out Wu Yan's name . She sounded like she would bawl any second now .
"It appeared! It really appeared!"
Wu Yan rubbed his forehead, the Flash who looked like she had no weakness finally revealed the chink in her armor . In the end, she's just a girl . . .
"Yeah yeah, no need to be afraid . . . "
Wu Yan patted her on the back .
"The monster does not have long tongue, it's also not drenched in blood or has a rotten face, it's just a bird-headed monster with a creepy cloak . . . "
"You're not making this any better!"
Asuna shivered one more time .
She added Wu Yan description to the monster in her mind . She pinched Wu Yan's fatty meat to teach him a lesson . However, Wu Yan did manage to calm her down . She slightly opened her eyes to look at the phantom one more time .
"Wh-why isn't it attacking us?"
Asuna peaked out from behind Wu Yan, she still looked a bit scared .
"It's probably the type that won't attack as long as you don't attack first . . . "
Wu Yan looked at the phantom which just passed them at a distance of only 2 meters .
"I never thought a monster inside the dungeon would be as passive as the monsters outside on the fields . . . "
"There's only one? . . . "
Asuna clutched Wu Yan's clothes . Her trembling eyes suggested that she's not completely over this ordeal yet . She must be really afraid of ghosts .
"I don't think so? . . . "
He looked around .
"It came out of the walls here, there are probably more of them lurking inside the walls . . . "
Asuna gulped and she shrunk away from the walls near her . Wu Yan amused himself with her skittish appearance .

"I am guessing you're tapping out? . . . "
Wu Yan unsheathed the Heaven Gazer .
"Alright, let me have at it . "
"Wait! Don't leave me behind!"
Asuna tugged Wu Yan's clothes .
"We should just sneak past it if it's this passive!"
"No way . . . "
Wu Yan's lip twitched .
"Are you going to dodge every spirit-type monster from now on?"
"What's so bad about that?!"
Asuna shot a glare at Wu Yan .
"I know they can attract nearby monsters with their wails, do you want to solo a bunch of phantoms and green bugs?"
"I am pretty sure we wiped this area clean of green bugs . . . "
Wu Yan helplessly shook his head . He looked at the walls near him . Soon, he could see three indicators moving around in the wall .
"There are three more phantoms here . . . "

Wu Yan turned towards Asuna .
"I should go try them out, with only four phantoms, I should be fine . . . "
Wu Yan knocked Asuna lightly on the head when he saw she was about to say something .
"Look at you, you're hiding away from a bunch of monsters, would players believe you're the same Asuna who led the clearers on many floor boss raids?"
Wu Yan brandished Heaven Gazer .
"I will counting on you for rear support!"
Asuna let go of Wu Yan when she saw his resolute expression . She clenched down on the handle of her sword .
Wu Yan smiled and he sucked in a breath of air as he stared at the phantom .
Fwish
He swiped Heaven Gazer at the closest phantom .
Fwoosh
Wu Yan felt like he's slicing air . He gasped when his sword brushed past the spirit .
Eek eek
The phantom emitted an ear-piercing sound . Its cloak fluttered and sharp talons appeared from behind its cloak, shooting for Wu Yan .
Wu Yan shot out green needles that struck the avian head true and swift .
Eek eek
The phantom wailed in pain, its HP gauge decreased steadily . Wu Yan immediately recognized this at the weakpoint of the monster . They can't take hits to the head .
Eek
The monster spread its claws as cold air surged inside the phantom . With a red glow, the monster charged at Wu Yan like a cannonball .
"Hmph!"
He took out one more needle . He flashed past the ghost's attack as he drew a cool trajectory like that of a swallow in flight . Then, he stabbed the monster right in the glabella with his needle .
The phantom screeched to a halt while letting out whimpers of pain .
Bsht
He stabbed his huge sword into the phantom's head, easily cleaving it in twain .
The phantom stopped shrieking and its HP fell steadily down to 0 .
Boom
The floating monster dispersed in a rain of data crystals . Wu Yan didn't stop while Asuna's worried shout came from behind .
"Watch out!"
He can hear streaking noises behind him, the characteristic "Eek Eek" sounds gave away the attack .
The three phantoms lurking in the walls attacked!
