After switching to the Ocean Envoy, the results were surprisingly remarkable. For a moment, Wang Zhifan was taken aback. He had actually considered the possibility that these ghosts might be immune to the passive effects of the Ocean Envoy, especially since many of them were really powerful, stronger than many of the bosses he had fought in other instances.
But it turned out that none of these creatures were advanced enough to be immune to the insta-kill effect of the Ocean's Depth. With a furious slash, he eliminated the toughest ones, leaving only those between small fry and troublesome—dealing with them was a piece of cake.
As Wang Zhifan brandished his saber to take down the pesky ghosts one by one, the woman who had disappeared due to the overwhelming pressure of the battle suddenly returned, just in time. She appeared as abruptly as she had vanished and picked a lone ghost, already cleared by Wang Zhifan, to engage in one-on-one combat, using close combat techniques along with a shining silver dagger.
"Could this player really be in the Assassin class? Did she use a special Invisibility Technique when she vanished?"
Wang Zhifan actually had a small complaint about her coming in to add the finishing touch only after he had opened up the situation, but considering she showed no signs of trying to sabotage him and only disappeared due to lack of ability, he let it slide.
He was more curious about why this player possessed such a magical disappearing ability—according to his understanding of the Assassin class, normal invisibility skills shouldn't escape his perceptive detection.
Bang~
At the front of the car, Wang Zhifan swung the Ocean Envoy Curved Saber once more, instantly killing a female ghost with hundreds of clawed fingers. He then passed through the door into the cabin ahead, repeatedly slashing at a demon hanging upside down from the ceiling. This ghost was actually one of the small fry types easily subdued by his ice power, and now it could do nothing but wait for death as he came with his saber.
While he efficiently cleaned up the remaining ghosts, the girl in the tracksuit on the other side was flickering around, battling fiercely with her chosen enemy. It was evident that she had the strength to deal with this enemy, but her efficiency couldn't compare to Wang Zhifan's. There was no hope of her completely finishing off the opponent without fighting for at least one or two minutes, given that this ghost survived without being completely subdued by Wang Zhifan's power, indicating it wasn't a small fry.
Sss!
"Venomous Stab!"
Swoosh~
"Back Execution!"
Boom~
"Move Like Thunder!"
"Phantom Strangulation!"
...
At this point, the female assassin player was fully in her element, unleashing her skills one by one. The scene appeared dazzling and spectacular as she suppressed the not-so-weak ghost in front of her, making it unable to move and causing more and more damage to appear on its spectral body.
However, after about twenty seconds of this fierce battle, the female player suddenly noticed an extra viewer not far from her—the tall young man who claimed to be their captain. He was standing with his arms crossed, leaning casually against the side of the coach wall, watching her fight the ghost with an expressionless face. This situation made her a bit distracted as the instance had lifted the penalty lock mechanism, leading her to consider the possibility of someone sneak-attacking her. Thus, her attack rhythm slowed a bit.
"Keep it up! You can do it!"
Observing the sudden decrease in her attack intensity, Wang Zhifan immediately encouraged her, hoping she wouldn't lose momentum and finish off the enemy in one go.
As for why he was currently in spectator mode, the reason was simple: he had already eliminated all the other ghosts, including clearing all the way to the rear direction of the train carriage, leaving only this final ghost battling the female player.
To be honest, this last ghost wasn't the strongest among all ghosts, or even among the strongest ones. It was merely stronger than small fry and happened to be a bit farther away from Wang Zhifan, escaping the first wave of elimination by the Ocean Envoy. Moreover, it was the one the tracksuit girl chose to single combat, allowing it to escape Wang Zhifan's second round of cleanup, thus surviving to the end.
When the female player heard such encouraging words from Wang Zhifan, she felt speechless for a moment. She instinctively thought he was mocking her weak strength, but his tone didn't convey that feeling at all, making her feel a hint of shame. She couldn't believe the gap between herself and him was so vast.
She realized she hadn't taken down any ghosts by now, while the young man observing her had already dealt with all the remaining ones, not to mention the strongest ghosts that had previously forced her to escape were also handled by him.
This huge contrast quickly ignited her fighting spirit, prompting her to let down part of her guard against others and return to a fierce offensive stance against the enemy in front of her. She knew her strength couldn't compare to this viewer, and only in survival skills might she have an advantage.
"You can do it! Just like that! Finish it off strong!"
Seeing the battle in front of him become intense again, Wang Zhifan nodded, taking out a pouch of reserved tea from his personal space and beginning to sip it slowly, as if watching a live show of ghost-slain combat.
