Chapter 72: New Enemy Appears, Second Rank Stone Golem!

"Die!"

Feeling the crimson tentacles' force continually increase, the ghost endured the pain, pouring mental power into the magic book floating in midair, accelerating the completion of the unfinished spell.

The next moment.

A pallid glow appeared on the magic book, and an invisible shriek erupted from within it, instantly filling the entire room.

This was an attack targeting the mind and soul, and with the spell's transmission speed too fast and its coverage too broad, it left Su Hao no room to dodge.

Almost at the instant that spell was released, Su Hao felt an inaudible yet excruciatingly shrill sound frenziedly drilling into his mind.

It made him feel as if his head would split, and strands of bright red blood flowed from his seven orifices.

This was still because Su Hao's mental power had reached the level of a Supernatural Second Rank.

If Ling Xue'er and the others hadn't moved a bit farther away, letting them suffer this spell's attack, their heads would have exploded and they would have died on the spot.

"Die!"

Seeing that his move failed to instantly kill Su Hao, and instead the tentacles on his body tightened further, the ghost on the altar glanced at the statue beside him.

He again mobilized his mental power into the magic book floating in the air, intending to cast another spell.

But Su Hao would not just stand there and take a beating.

"Good brother, can't you change your word?"

Su Hao hastily wiped the blood from his face, watching the ghost on the altar smile faintly.

After releasing the Crimson Touch, Su Hao's mental power had already begun communicating with the Blood Flame Technique runes in his mind, and now it was fully prepared.

"Blood Flame Technique!"

He extended his right hand, and with a soft 'click', he lightly snapped his fingers.

Immediately after.

He then saw the five tentacles wrapped around the ghost suddenly ignite into strands of blood-red flames about half a meter high, completely engulfing the ghost's body in fire.

The scorching blood flame, passing through the ghost's ethereal form, gave him an all-around, no-blind-spot thorough baking.

Although the Blood Flame Technique is only a First Rank skill, Su Hao's mental power had already reached Second Rank level, and by utilizing the crimson blood as an excellent blood magic medium, the flame's temperature increased significantly.

Moreover, the fire element also granted a damage bonus against the ghost.

Under the combined effect of these factors, the damage inflicted by the Blood Flame could be even more fierce than that of the Crimson Touch.

Under the scorching of the Blood Flame Technique, the ghost suffered intense pain; even the spell he had half-cast was forcibly interrupted because he could not stay calm.

If this continued, it wouldn't be long before the ghost would completely lose its life under the relentless tightening of the Crimson Touch and the continual burning of the Blood Flame.

As for his own situation, the ghost naturally knew it all too well.

He knew he must quickly escape this predicament, but the problem was that no matter how he struggled, he could not break free from the Crimson Touch's bonds, nor could he extinguish the Blood Flame on the tentacles.

He knew he had to get out of this predicament as soon as possible, but the problem was that no matter how he struggled, he could not break free from the scarlet touch's binding, nor could he extinguish the blood flame on the tentacles.

"How long do you intend to stay asleep? If you keep delaying, I'm going to die!"

"When exactly are you going to wake up? If you keep dragging this out, I'm going to die!"

Just then, the stone statue about three meters tall on the right side of the altar suddenly emitted a low sound.

Just then, a low, deep voice suddenly came from the stone statue about three meters tall on the right side of the altar.

This stone statue came to life, grabbed the stone axe beside it, and strode toward Su Hao.

"Uh oh, boss, we need to retreat quickly—this is also a Second Rank monster!"

At the first sight of this stone statue, Ling Xue'er's danger sense went berserk, urging her to flee the place immediately, and her face instantly paled.

Just a moment earlier, Ling Xue'er and the others had seen Su Hao casually unleash two skills, completely suppressing the Second Rank ghost.

They were thinking that the battle was secured, the boss was the boss, and the formidable boss they dared not even glance at would soon be dealt with by the boss.

But they hadn't been happy for long before they saw a stone golem that had also reached Second Rank, stood over three meters tall, and was entirely made of stone, joining the fight.

At a glance, this stone golem was clearly a monster with immense power and a sturdy body.

And in their eyes, Su Hao was a mage capable of unleashing powerful magic.

Although Su Hao had also shown considerable strength in the earlier house‑wrecking, he was still a mage!

In such a not‑too‑large room, a mage and a monster with tremendous power and a sturdy body engaging in close combat could only end one way——

that is, the mage wouldn't even get a chance to cast his spell before being split in half by the stone golem's axe.

"Rest assured, I will definitely help my good brother the ghost fulfill his final mission!"

Su Hao turned his head and winked at Ling Xue'er and the others.

Su Hao turned his head and gave Ling Xue'er and the others a wink.

"No, you've got a problem—when did I become your good brother?"

"And what the hell is this so‑called mission of yours? It couldn't possibly be to take my life, could it?!"

Besides, what the hell is your damned mission? It couldn't possibly be to take my life, could it?!

Pu Wenyao: ……

"Boss, if you treat your good brother like this, I'll never dare to be your friend again."

"I don't even know what grudge this undead creature has against the boss that makes him so obsessed with killing it……"

Su Hao ignored what everyone was thinking, looked at the stone golem slowly approaching, and smiled faintly as he said:

"You big oaf, I know a bit about axes too—let's settle this like real men!"

As he spoke, Su Hao extended his right hand flat, and a black‑shafted axe about two meters long, its entire body etched with special patterns, appeared in his grip.

Even with Su Hao's current physique, it would be difficult for him to lift it with one hand without using mental power to assist control.

Thus, as soon as the Gravity Rock Axe appeared in his hand, it slammed heavily onto the ground, blasting a deep pit, the entire blade embedded in the earth, with cracks of various sizes radiating outward.

Thus, the Gravity Rock Axe had just appeared in his hand when he slammed it heavily onto the ground, blasting a deep pit into the earth, the entire axe blade embedded in the ground, with cracks of various sizes spreading outward into the distance.

Hahaha, take my axe!

Su Hao laughed wildly, using mental power to lessen the weight of the Gravity Rock Axe, dragging the heavy axe behind him as he sprinted forward, plowing a deep groove into the ground.

A mage? I'm not that kind of weak mage who's worse in close combat than a super soldier!

"Arrogant!"

Seeing Su Hao wielding the Gravity Rock Axe and flying toward him, the stone person's face showed a hint of anger.

A puny mage actually dares to wield an axe and want to fight me in close combat—this is somewhat looking down on people!

However, although he thought that, he showed no trace of contempt, gripping the stone axe tightly with both hands and striding forward to charge at Su Hao.

After seeing Su Hao's Gravity Rock Axe smash the ground, creating a deep pit, the stone person realized that this axe had astonishing weight.

Yet Su Hao could easily drag this heavy axe, plowing a deep groove into the ground, which meant he possessed terrifying strength.

Therefore, even though the stone person knew Su Hao was a mage, he still chose to give his all.

He just couldn't figure it out—seeing Su Hao use the Crimson Touch so quickly and the Blood Flame Technique, it was obvious he was a mage skilled in blood magic, very likely a blood mage.

But how could a blood mage possess such tremendous power?

Mages shouldn't all be like wraiths—strong in mental power but frail as paper—so what's going on now?

However, he didn't think further, because the distance between them had already become short.
