Mei Terumi didn't care about anything else; her attention was fully on the Spectre General.
Hellfire!
A ghostly blue halo appeared at her feet.
Her staff unleashed scorching orange-yellow flames, which, under the enhancement of the Hellfire state, transformed into chilling, ghostly blue flames.
These were flames from Hell.
They possessed extreme burning properties against soul-type monsters.
This was a professional skill Mei Terumi awakened after her Flame Mage profession reached Level 8. It could last for half a minute with a five-minute cooldown.
To some extent, its destructive power surpassed her Boil Release, which she had painstakingly trained for many years.
"You intruders, how dare you step into the Land of Contamination? You're seeking death!"
The Spectre General's voice made the closest elite players feel their internal organs rattling.
Its blood-colored Claymore swept out, stirring up a violent wind.
It dispersed the surging Hellfire, but scattered embers landed on its shoulders and legs.
Sizzling sounds...
The soul-burning Hellfire acted like a potent poison to its spectral body, rapidly corroding it.
The Spectre General looked up, realizing that the woman overhead, capable of releasing Hellfire, was the greatest threat on the field.
"Spectre Poison Blade!"
Four elite players spread out, surrounding the Spectre General in the center.
A dagger shimmering with dark green light was hurled directly at the massive Spectre, but it bounced off like a toothpick hitting an iron wall.
Before the Spectre General could attack Mei Terumi overhead, the four had already charged forward.
Facing such a huge power disparity, the four had no expectation of inflicting significant damage on the monster; their main goal was to stall its movements.
Flame Hand.
Mei Terumi seized the opportunity to widen the distance, leaping onto a more distant wall lamp.
Hellfire condensed into a giant hand, gripping the Spectre General, then clenching its five fingers.
There was a crackling, burning sound.
The Spectre General's flesh rapidly melted, and the life points of the four elite players were also instantly depleted.
3100 life points.
Two Hellfire-enhanced skills directly dealt 700 points of damage to the Spectre General.
Although the effect was significant, the losses were even greater.
The elite players who risked their lives to stall the monster would need to spend millions of ryo for just one short wave of attacks.
The more she invested, the less Mei Terumi could give up.
After her blue bar bottomed out, she directly bought the most expensive recovery potion, and her parched magic power instantly felt nourished, like barren land.
Flame Chain.
A long, narrow flame chain, twisting like a fiery snake, surged towards the Spectre General.
However, it was dodged, only lightly brushing its arm without causing much damage.
The newly revived elite players couldn't provide cover in time.
The Spectre General's blood-colored Claymore had already been thrown, piercing Mei Terumi's abdomen like a javelin, a fatal blow.
"Mizukage-sama!"
Chojuro roared, leaping high, his twin swords aimed at the monster as he dove down at extreme speed.
Silver Light Falling Blade.
But before the shockwave could erupt, his twin swords were broken by the Spectre General, and he was flung away by an arm.
"I'm fine, keep attacking!"
Mei Terumi revived on the spot and quickly distanced herself from the monster.
The advantage of reviving on the spot using reward points was a full-state revival.
Unlike the cheaper return-to-city revival, which leaves one in a weakened state and requires either buying recovery potions or waiting for slow recovery.
...
Outside the thick castle walls.
"As I predicted, someone has infiltrated the castle, intending to hunt down the Spectre General!"
Mabui waved her hand, signaling the players behind her to remain silent.
She inserted her fingers into the cracks of the rough wall, her magic power rapidly depleting. An invisible wave penetrated the wall and extended inward.
Mental Perception.
This was a very practical skill, though it required continuous upgrades with reward points to expand its perception range.
However, its ability to detect things within its perception range was even stronger than the Byakugan, the famous Bloodline Limit of Konoha Hidden Village.
During the Ninja World War, countless ninja died because they were detected by the Byakugan.
To say that other ninja villages didn't covet it was impossible.
However, the Byakugan had an almost cruel defensive mechanism, capable of self-destruction, making it impossible to obtain by killing and digging out eyes.
Mabui was not skilled in combat, so she pursued a support-oriented player path.
The scene of the intense battle inside the castle appeared in her mind.
"It's Mei Terumi of Kirigakure!"
Mabui frowned, feeling a bit troubled.
If it were those poor guys from Sunagakure, even if they had pushed their levels to the tier of frontline players through their 'desperate' leveling style.
Without equipment buffs, they had no capital to compete with Cloud Hidden.
Not to mention others, Samui alone, wearing five pieces of Spectre Armor and activating the set effect, could single-handedly wipe out Sunagakure's five-player squad in the game.
Why was Sunagakure so poor?
Constantly plagued by rolling sandstorms, with scarce resources, even their mission requests were snatched by other countries, leaving them no spare capacity to support the terrifying financial consumption of the Reincarnation Game.
But Kirigakure was different.
Although it was an isolationist country, that referred to Kirigakure, not the Land of Water. Geographically, it was a chain of islands, and whether it was coral, pearls, seashells, or abundant aquatic products, all were good businesses that could exchange for large sums of money.
Mabui had secretly spent 50 reward points to purchase Mei Terumi's data from a Mist Hidden Alliance player.
Judging solely from her attributes, Samui, the strongest combatant in the Cloud Hidden Alliance, was no match for Mei Terumi.
Of course, the difference wasn't huge.
If they truly fought, it was hard to say who would win or lose.
However, currently, the Mist Hidden Alliance was expending a great deal hunting the Spectre General. Since the Cloud Hidden Alliance hadn't revealed themselves and were lying in wait, there was a high possibility of snatching this lucrative prize.
Suddenly,
Mabui's expression slightly hardened as she looked at a spot not far from the castle's outer wall.
The view was empty.
But within her Mental Perception, there was a team quietly approaching.
"We've been discovered..."
Asuma, dangling an iron skewer, keenly sensed the Cloud Hidden Alliance's prying.
The chameleon potion they bought was of a very low grade; being able to hide from the Spectre army was its limit, and it had no ability to block mental perception.
Maintaining a safe distance, Mabui smiled, "So it's Konoha Hidden Village. Do you also want a piece of the pie?"
Asuma didn't answer but retorted, "And Cloud Hidden? Are you here for a stroll?"
Naruto and Omoi exchanged glances, both seeing hostility in each other's eyes.
"The Mist Hidden Alliance is the strongest. If we fight now, we'll completely lose the chance to hunt the Spectre General."
"Let's team up against Mist Hidden first."
Both sides had a tacit understanding, not discussing the issue of loot ownership.
The battle inside the ruined castle became increasingly intense.
At this moment,
The Spectre General's life points were still at a healthy level, but the Mist Hidden Alliance had already spent thousands of reward points.
With such terrifying consumption, if it continued until the end of the battle, Kirigakure would likely go bankrupt.
"Chojuro!"
Mei Terumi's gaze suddenly fell on the castle's rough, thick wall.
Chojuro understood immediately, rushing to that wall and swinging his twin blades to cut it at extreme speed.
The thick wall, like tofu, was directly cut into two sections, collapsing and breaking.
"As expected of the Mizukage, she discovered us as soon as the stealth item's effect wore off."
Samui took a combat stance, blocking in front of Mabui, wary of Chojuro's sudden move.
The Konoha Squad were all combat players, so they immediately dispersed, finding good angles for offense and defense.
