"All——"

As soon as Driver said this, everyone lost their confidence in waiting. They showed up. In the endless darkness, the empty eyes of countless zombies of different variants reflected strange light.
"Lightning beam! Benefactor! Don't let them get close!"
Sylvia shouted, and a cloud of daggers rose in the tunnel. The rotating daggers filled the tunnel in an instant, strangling the zombies walking in the front into pieces.
"Silver Moon Light——"
Victoria followed closely behind, and she threw a few moon seed vine seeds and a milky white feldspar into the crowd of zombies. A mysterious and holy light penetrated the outer wall of the mine and smashed directly into the most densely populated area of ghouls.
This was the first time Victoria showed her attack ability as a priest. The damage of the sacred light to the ghouls was even greater than that of Sylvia's dagger cloud.
Following closely behind was Ron's lightning beam. In this narrow terrain, the flickering electric light engulfed almost all the ghouls. Under the bombardment of the three spellcasters, the plague ghouls among the ghouls were the first to be unable to resist. Their paper-mache green skin exploded backwards, triggering a chain reaction that injured or even killed a large number of other variant ghouls. The corridor was filled with the painful howling of ghouls for a while.
"They can't get through!" Sera waved her fist excitedly, "Go back to the abyss, you bastards! This is what you deserve!"
"Speaking of which," Ron saw that one lightning bolt was basically enough, so he didn't continue to add, but turned to ask Sylvia who was concentrating on maintaining the spell, "Are the variants of the ghouls named according to Apocalypse? Is there one missing?"
"You'd better not expect it," Sylvia gritted her teeth and said, "Even if the old man specializes in necromancy, it's rare for him to summon that type."
"And generally we don't call it 'death ghouls', but demons."
"More powerful, more cunning, and can even command other ghouls-"
Sylvia's voice stopped abruptly: "Benefactor, do you smell a bad smell?"
"Probably?"
Ron sniffed, as if it came from the direction of the ghoul group.
"Ron, you are such a badass! Why are you mentioning ghosts for no reason!"
A humanoid shadow passed through the coverage of the dagger cloud and the moonlight, waving its sharp claws to hit Ivy in the air. If Ivy hadn't been proficient in using the tower shield, she would have been almost disfigured.
A strong stench spread around the thin humanoid. Fortunately, Ron smashed open the two bottles of anti-venom potion that he had prepared in advance. The faint herbal fragrance dispelled the toxins hidden in the stench, which prevented the ghost's surprise attack from breaking through the defense line and interrupting Sylvia and Victoria's spells.
Before, Ron brought the anti-venom potion because he heard that there might be a plague here. Although he didn't encounter the plague, it was not a waste to fight against the ghost.
"Do you want me to dispel it?" Victoria asked as she pulled the moonlight closer to this side.
It's okay for the ghost to attack the defense line, but we can't let other ghouls take advantage of it.
"It's useless! The ghouls led by the demon are resistant to dispersing the undead!" Sylvia said, "Sera, Driver, you have to kill it quickly!"
"I want to, but this place is too narrow!" Sera's irritable voice echoed in the tunnel, "Ivy, get out of the way, I'll kill it!"
"You want to die, right?!"
"You two idiots, get out of the way!" Driver drew out his dagger, jumped up, and with a little leverage on Ivy's shoulder, he landed behind the demon in a blink of an eye.
Ron immediately launched a series of attacks on the ghouls behind him to buy time for Driver. The goblin hunter was short and agile, and a demon alone could not catch him. Instead, Driver could keep leaving wounds on it.
"This is not right!" the goblin yelled, "I can't seem to kill this thing!"
The flesh of the ghoul never decays, and it is stiff and tough. The puncture wounds and cuts left by the dagger are like an itch through a shoe to the ghoul.
"I'll do it!" Ivy finally made room for Sera. The barbarian chopped off the ghoul's head with two axes, and then pulled Driver back behind Ivy.
Without the command of the ghoul, the ghouls were just wild beasts. The advantage of numbers that they could rely on could not be brought into play here, and they could only be gradually consumed by Ron and others. As Ivy used the tower shield to paste the last ghoul on the stone wall next to it, there was no more ghoul that could move in the entire corridor.
"My spellbook is empty," Sylvia frowned and checked her spell list for today, "No more. I'm going to ask for a place to camp, give me some time to rest!"
"Rest? Are you kidding?" Sera pointed at the ghouls on the ground, "You should know that these things can be resurrected! Do we have to fight another round?"
In this wilderness, as long as there is still a ghoul that may survive, it can pull up almost all the ghouls again if given some time. If it is not completely wiped out at once, this monster is harder to kill than cockroaches.
"Okay, okay!" How could Sylvia not know the truth? Helplessly, she had to compromise, "I really didn't expect that the adventure would take place when the caster had no spells to use!"
"There will always be various emergencies," Victoria smiled and patted her shoulder, "Get used to it - stand behind me, I'll protect you."
"Oh Victoria - you're so nice!"
"It's a pity that I can't help the dead at all," You, who had watched the whole game, floated to the front to explore the way, "If it's a living person, I can still be of some use."
The vast majority of undead creatures have endless malice towards the living, and most of their abilities exist to target the living. Although You has no malice towards the living, it can't change the characteristics of the banshee.
It is her job to induce the living to corrupt and transform into undead creatures. It is really useless to deal with ghouls.
As an undead creature, her negative energy damage may even heal ghouls in turn.
"But your current mission is something none of us can do," Ron walked behind You and watched her move through the walls and explore possible rooms, "How is it, did you gain anything?"
"Hmm, this is empty."
