In terms of the underworld, the necromancer might not be as powerful as the Slime King.

But the real underworld is not the necromancer himself, but the undead army he controls, whose numbers and abilities are unknown.

Take this castle in front of us as an example. Since we've assumed there's a necromancer inside, then...

The entire castle must be filled with demons and monsters under his control.

Anyi obtained a piece of information from Karen.

The castle is inhabited by a level-three demon, the Eye-Stealing Demon.

The Eye Thief is not a mini-boss like the Slime King or the Goblin Shaman, but rather...

A type of necromancer-like monster.

In other words, there is at least one level four necromancer controlling it.

There are too many level three necromancers, and their various abilities, while not fatal, are quite disgusting.

“Let’s go inside,” Karen said.

As descendants of the castle's owner, the four of them tacitly gave her the opportunity to open the door.

It's just a small door on the side and back of a castle.

However, as soon as the five entered the castle, they felt the temperature suddenly drop.

From An Yi's perspective, it's like going from a 30-degree outdoor temperature to a 16-degree air-conditioned room.

Not only has the temperature dropped, but the entire environment seems to have become much darker.

Perhaps because there were no torches, the room was very dark, so dark that it didn't feel like a bright, sunny day.

Milu suddenly remembered something, and was so frightened that she trembled and turned to leave, but was pulled back by An Yi.

"Ugh..." Milu looked at An Yi with a tearful expression and whispered, "There... won't be any ghosts here...?"

Annie: "Do you want to take a look at the mission name again?"

“I…I can help you investigate the walls outside the castle!”

"Um...! Ants might be digging up the castle from the walls!" Milu exclaimed in horror.

"Don't be afraid, Milu! What's there to be afraid of about ghosts!"

"With the protection of the Supreme God, nothing can harm us!" Lycolin Sanna said confidently.

Milu thought about it and realized it was true, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Lycorina turned to Karen and asked, "What's a ghost?"

Miluko: "?!!"

You don't know what you're talking about?!

Karen smiled and explained, "Ghosts are the souls of people after they die."

Because he had unfulfilled wishes before his death, he remained in this world, wandering everywhere.

My ability is to see both living and dead things. For example, right now, there are ghosts wandering around us.

Ah, Miss Miluko has it too, it looks like...

"It's a ghost who died from beheading..."

"Oh!"

Suddenly, the door they had entered through slammed shut.

The three people, except for An Yi, were all startled.

Milu screamed "Eeeeeeee!!" and collapsed to the ground.

(Writhing) (Crawling in the shadows) (Rolling) (Crawling violently) (Twisting) (Spasming)

He looks terrified.

Everything is broken.

Karen's smile froze: "No... I was just joking."

But why was the door actually closed?

Could something really be going on?

The unknown brings fear, especially for someone as blind as Karen.

She said she could see both living and dead things, but only living people and objects.

She had never actually encountered a "ghost," and she didn't know whether she could actually see them.

&+罢／四∵＂san≡＠糤隣仲№≯QＵN: For her, the most terrifying enemy is one that cannot be seen or attacked.

"Anyi, will those demons find us? And then secretly close our door?"

Although Lycorina didn't have much of a concept of ghosts, the sudden closing of the door still gave her a creepy feeling.

"It's alright!" Layton roared. "Whether they're demons or ghosts, we'll drive them out of the castle!"

"Mere ghosts! They're nothing compared to real men!!"

Why shout?

Because he had already shrunk back to the wall for support.

"Get moving, Layton! A real man should face his fears!"

The best way to overcome fear is to face it!

"Smile at him!!" He was still leaning against the wall, trying to encourage himself.

In this world, being afraid of ghosts is actually quite normal.

Because ghosts really exist.

People who are afraid of ghosts will receive a debuff when they enter this kind of dungeon.

Negative state: Fear

Status description: You have fallen into deeper fear.

In other words, people who are usually afraid of ghosts will be even more afraid of ghosts the moment they step into the dungeon.

The more afraid you are in normal times, the more intense your fear will be when you come here.

So their behavior wasn't quite normal, but it's not really their fault; it's just because they were affected by the debuff.

Currently, the mildest symptoms are those of An Yi, who is completely unafraid, and Lycorina, who is clueless about the situation.

Zhong Kailun was slightly heavier, but he just hunched his shoulders, looking a little scared.

Next is Layton. Maybe he heard some ghost stories when he was a child. His shouting was just to cover up his fear.

The most serious case is Miluko...

N (twisting) (writhing in the shadows) (rolling) (crawling violently) (twisting) (spasming)

If an outsider saw her, they might think she's scarier than a ghost now.

"Your Highness, do you see the negative status effects on them?" Annie reminded Lycorina.

Nine. "Oh...? Fear? You've fallen into even deeper fear...?"

I remember seeing a negative status effect called "Bleeding" when I was treating Mr. Stick Hero before.

It was cured with Holy Healing and then it disappeared.

"Can 'fear' also be healed with holy magic?" Lycorina asked Anie with a puzzled look.

3 “You can give it a try,” Annie said.

"it is good!"

Lycorina nodded, a flash of white light appeared in her hand, and a staff appeared.

Fourth, "Holy Healing Technique".

At that moment, a golden light flashed around Karen, and her previously gloomy expression suddenly relaxed considerably.

At the same time, the effect of [Fear] also disappeared.

"Really?!" Lycorina exclaimed in surprise, then turned to cast a Holy Healing spell on Layton.

Another flash of golden light, and Layton felt a lightness all over his body; the uncontrollable fear he had felt earlier vanished instantly.

Layton coughed and returned to the group: "Ahem! As men, we should be brave enough to overcome our fears!"

I feel incredibly energetic right now! Bring on the demons!

In An Yi's view, the principle is actually very simple.

What is Lycorina?

She is a holy hero!

Necromantic debuffs are instantly destroyed upon contact with holy magic, without a doubt.

"Anyi! Why didn't it work on Milu?" Lycorina used the Holy Healing spell on Milu, but she still didn't recover.

Miluko: (writhing) (squirming in the shadows) (rolling) (crawling violently) (twisting) (convulsing) (foaming at the mouth)

An Yi: "..."

Maybe she's always like this.

Chapter 107: Going against a ghost?

Deep within the castle, a pale, wandering spirit passed through the walls and entered a certain room.

This is a bedroom. The room's decor looks high-end and luxurious, but due to years of neglect, it looks somewhat dilapidated, giving it a poignant sense of the passage of time.

Tall bookshelves lined both sides of the bedroom, and the shelves were packed full of various books, some of which showed signs of use.

As if sensing the arrival of the pale, wandering spirit, a ghostly blue fire ignited deep within the room.

The pale, wandering soul visibly trembled, as if fear had caused it to shudder.

"Lord..." The pale ghost knelt deeply in worship toward the direction of the blue flames.
