Chapter 652: White Ghost Citalopram
The people inside the building watched the bloody demon stabbing its axe into its abdomen. Then, the scarlet curse mark spread rapidly like a living thing and crawled out of the skin, whizzing.
They were like creepy insects waving their small limbs around aggressively.
The curse markings, alive and writhing, viciously bit into the fractured blade of the fine steel axe, burrowing into it. The bright red and black colors covered the blade like a swarm of insects, making the broken and damaged steel axe appear exceptionally menacing and evil.
The curse stored in her body was instantly activated.
Jiu Er had awakened the curse with the dense curse marks spreading from her abdomen to her whole body.
She raised a dark red battle axe, taller than herself, high above her head. With a flash of dazzling light, she swung it fiercely behind her in a spinning attack!
With that, Jiu Er opened up more spaces in the narrow crack of the wall, creating a gap that was enough for the two people to pass through side by side.
Then, a strong, citrus-scented blood stench burst forth from her body.
It was like peeling dozens of citruses in a small room—the overwhelming scent of citrus overpowered the smell of wood chips and dust from the broken wall.
“Are we facing a demon?”
The Fallens in the room, who were genuinely involved in the demonized path, were utterly astonished.
However, they were not very nervous.
This was due to their confidence in their boss.
“Go upstairs and look for the boss.” A muscular man with red skin pulled a short boy like a skinny monkey to his side, patted his shoulder, and said in a low voice, “Go quickly.”
“Yes, got it.”
The boy glanced at Jiu Er with some apprehension and quickly ran away after nodding.
He sprinted up the wooden stairs, making a dull thumping sound.
Before he could find anyone else, the boy turned left after running to the second floor.
Suddenly, two pale, semi-transparent slender arms reached out from the wall beside him.
The left hand silently covered his mouth while the right hand grabbed his neck. Both hands tightened and dragged the boy directly to the wall.
Dark bruises appeared on the boy’s cheeks and neck.
The cold air seeped into the boy’s body through the skin, and his pupils were filled with death, making him look like a zombie.
The boy struggled frantically. Unfortunately, behind him was not an enemy but a wall.
Citalopram went through the wall with both arms, grabbed and pinned him to the wall.
A steady stream of vitality was sucked into Citalopram’s body through physical contact. As soon as the victim passed out, he became a frozen corpse that exuded cold air.
“You’re not sending reinforcements over.” Citalopram smiled and retracted her arms to the wall.
Behind her, three people had fallen staggeringly.
There was no way for the henchmen here to defeat a spiritual body possessing human-like intelligence and the ability to use divine art, especially without any curse vessel.
However, out of the consideration of possibly getting intel from these henchmen, Citalopram didn’t kill them. Instead, she drained their vitality and left them at their spot in an unconscious state.
After all, in the team, she was the only one effective in subduing the enemy and not killing them.
Suuankou’s attack would hardly leave any dead body. Jiu Er was unrestrained in her attacks. Sister Hyphen didn’t have serious damage, but she lacked the ability to subdue the enemies. To keep their victims alive, they could only hope that their attack on the enemy heads didn’t kill them but only knock the victims out. Otherwise, the targets might have immediately fled if they held back too much in their attacks.
To wake them up, Citalopram only needed to heal their health points slightly. However, they had to bask under the sun every now and then to dissipate the cold air in them. Also, the victims had to be left in a warm environment for at least one day to get their health back to at least 20%. Only by satisfying these requirements could the victims wake up.
However, while Citalopram could assassinate a target, she lacked power in direct attack.
Strictly speaking, Citalopram was still not a transcender.
However, she had been accumulating experience points with stable growth in the number of holy light engravings.
Citalopram rarely raided any dungeon instance.
She generally made progress in exploring the world. After all, she was a priest. It wasn’t convenient for her to copy others’ work, but it applied vice versa. Also, she had attained the maximum level possible, so defeating any dungeon wouldn’t bring any growth. Naturally, she wasn’t interested in dungeons.
In fact, most of the holy light engravings she obtained came from the Pale Princess.
The Pale Princess had been keeping an eye on this new believer of hers.
Occasionally when Citalopram purified nightmares, the Pale Princess would enter her nightmares and replace someone to chat with her. When the Pale Princess left, she would give her a few holy light engravings as a fee for her effort.
As a result, Citalopram became the priest with the most holy light engravings among the players.
[ID: Citalopram]
Half-dead Enchantress. Female. Level 10.
Health: 100%
Attributes: Strength 5, Agility 5, Constitution -, Perception 16, Will 15
Profession Overview.
Ghosts (Ex): Pale Body Lv1
Priest (the Pale Princess. Remaining engravings 7): Phantom Touch, Ghost Walk, Remote Blink, Silent Panic, Life Return
Except for [Pale Body] and [Phantom Touch], Citalopram had acquired new divine arts.
[Ghost Walk: While you are in a ‘walking’ or slower movement state, you gain a 300% bonus to movement speed, and your ‘stealth’ effect is increased by a level equivalent to half your Perception attribute. This divine art can only be used in ghostly form.]
[Remote Blink: Enemies you have attacked or who have detected you are marked with a special curse that lasts for a duration equal to your ‘Will’ attribute. You can sense the target’s exact location, and if the straight-line distance between you and the target is less than your ‘Perception’ attribute, you can blink across the terrain to appear directly behind them. This divine art can only be used in ghostly form and consumes a pinch of white or grey powder.]
[Silent Panic: Physical Form: Your touch may inflict a special effect on the target, equivalent to the Soul Snatch Magic “Fear.”
Ghost Form: You can use a complete magic casting action to apply a special effect equivalent to the Soul Snatch Magic “Fear” on all living beings within a radius equal to half your “Perception” attribute. This divine art consumes one grey moth.]
[Life Return: When you gain healing from any attack with a ‘Life-Drain’ effect, you can obtain additional hit points equal to 100% of your maximum health. When you take damage, it is deducted from the additional hit points first. You can also use an immediate touch action to transfer any amount of additional hit points to a target at 50% efficiency.]
This was the new divine art Citalopram obtained.
She already had a considerable degree of combat effectiveness.
Although she still focused on support, assassination, and control, a group battle was beyond her expertise.
Citalopram was relatively weak in defense, after all.
She didn’t have the extra health boost from the Constitution attribute—this meant that her spirit form would have been seriously wounded if hit even once by any attack, like a silver bullet that could strike spiritual beings.
Even though they had already turned off the friendly fire, the area control spells from Sister Hyphen and Jiu Er’s knockback abilities were effective against her.
Citalopram stayed aside, not to avoid enemy attacks but mainly to avoid attacks from teammates.
“However, if the timing is right…” Citalopram murmured.
Citalopram could teleport to the battle below to take control of more enemies too.
