Tenacious Wraith Queen

"Energy Blast."

**BOOoOM!

"S-such destructive power."

Eliza was temporarily shocked as she saw the skill pave out a path for them, however, after feeling Evan's glare, she turned her attention back to her party members and used support magic to buff their basic stats.

"Kuaaaaak!"

"Alright, let's go!"

"More wraiths are coming out! I have a limit to my mana, so I can only use that skill two more times!"

Though that was a lie, Evan said it so that he could have time to gauge Eliza's performance properly. He wanted to see how much she could utilize her skill's abilities.

"Charge! Priestesses, prepare your status effect cleansing spells!"

"Yes!"

With the party leader taking the lead, everyone rushed forward.

Although Evan also ran while taking care of the incoming wraiths, the Wraith Queen re-summoned ten wraiths in one go.

The summoned wraiths flew toward them the moment they were summoned, and the Wraith Queen went back to her summoning gesture.

"She's one annoying ghost for sure. When the number of wraiths falls below twenty, she starts summoning more!"

Evan shouted out as he remembered the reason why Wraith queens required players in the game to have crowd control skills when dealing with them.

It was so they could take out all the wraiths at once and engage the wraith queen in battle, preventing her from summoning more wraiths.

'Kayla!'

Evan called out internally and the lightning spirit responded with an attack.

Tendrils of lightning snaked around Evan's body as he dashed forward with increased speed and cut down the dozens of wraiths faster than they could even sense his presence.

Kuro made himself useful by using his shadow magic to restrain the wraiths to allow the party members to have an easier time killing them.

"I'll take care of the wraiths so you can focus on dealing damage!"

"Got it! Everyone, use magic!"

A bluish aura wrapped around the party leader's sword as he kicked off the ground and dashed towards the wraith queen.

As Evan struck down the wraiths, the party leader and five other people all used their swords, blades, and spears to attack the Wraith Queen.

"Huh?"

"What-!"

Right before their attacks hit, they couldn't help but let out surprised voices as their weapons were suddenly covered in lightning, courtesy of Kayla.

Even as she screamed out in pain, the Wraith Queen didn't stop summoning more wraiths.

'I miss having the fifth and sixth heroes with me when dealing with wraith queens!'

The 'Fifth' and 'Sixth' of the seven heroes had the best skill sets for dealing with opponents like these. Evan always had them in his party whenever he planned to face a wraith queen.

"Haaap!"

Evan let out a spirited shout as he took a stance and activated his Energy Blast to sweep the wraiths once more.

Mana surged from his body as it travelled from his heart, ran down his arm, and wrapped around the sword in his hand.

His eyes flashed with a red light as the destructive energy circuit in his body rapidly circulated his magic power and amplified its destructive power.

**BOOM!!

"Kiyaaaaa!"

"Syaaaa!"

A majority of the leftover wraiths were swept away by the Tempest, making the Wraith Queen finally stop her summoning as she let out a rageful scream.

"KIYAAAAA!"

That scream was a skill activation action.

Evan reflexively appraised the wraith queen's skill and couldn't help but click his tongue seeing the state of some of the party members.

'This is why I wanted 'Sixth' Here!'

|Vengeful Spirit's Wail;

Type: Racial Skill

Effect;

All enemies fall under a state of confusion!

All enemies fall under a state of fear. |

Evan still remembered suffering a mental attack from the duchess' compulsive questioning skill, so he had taken appropriate measures against mental attacks.

As for the other party members who got caught, this was Eliza's time to shine. She activated her unique skill and called out one of its abilities with a chant.

"Save those who fell under darkness! Light of Life!"

Unexpectedly, Eliza shone a bit too brightly!

Hearing Eliza use one of her unique skill's effects, Evan infused his sword with mana and tore the wraith in front of him in two, before rushing towards her and knocking her on the head.

"Idiot! You can only use that thing three times a day, why would you waste it when you can just use a purification spell?!"

"How do you know my skill limit?!"

"Is that really the problem here?!"

"Leader!"

A shout brought Evan back to his senses, he clicked his tongue and activated Aura slash, dashing forward with speed.

'I got pissed seeing someone use a good skill in a bad way.'

The Wraith Queen was endlessly shooting out something that looked like ectoplasm arrows at the party leader.

He didn't seem to possess any defence against this particular attack as he turned pale and soon fell.

"Eliza! Heal him now!"

"i-i know okay."

Evan shouted at Eliza and slashed at the wraith queen multiple times causing her to scream out in pain.

Nevertheless, he didn't let up so she also couldn't perform the gesture to summon more wraiths.

"Buff!"

At his shout, the other priestess in the party buffed Evan with a simple buff that doubled attack power.

He rushed toward the Wraith Queen with the fastest speed he could muster and thrust his sword into her chest.

'As expected of a 100 percent attack power increase!'

He could feel a definite response as the sensation so stabbing something travelled through his arm.

"Kiyaaaak!"

"Die already you annoying ghost!"

'I'm going to have to work on my habit of shouting out in fights.'

Evan as he scolded himself internally.

On the outside, he was acting wild like a boar that had just been hit.

The party members seemed to understand that questions were for later as they followed his lead and attacked the Wraith Queen.

Attacks from the entire party!

Not to mention, they were strengthened by 100% percent!

The Wraith Queen could not finish her summoning gesture and stumbled down.

When a beautiful woman fell, it would be a man's instinct to help her rise. Unfortunately, none of the men here had the desire to escort the Wraith Queen.

"Kiyaaaaak!"

She screamed and used 'Vengeful Spirits wail' again, but this time they were preprepared unlike last time.

""Purification!""

Eliza's voice rang out at the same time with the other healer, instantly dispelling the status effect. Evan stepped back a bit to lend some assistance to the ones fighting the other wraiths.

"Kuk, we're being pushed back!

"This Wraith Queen! Even her physical attacks are strong!"

"Sine's about to die! Heal her!"

"Kiyaaaa! Let the vengeful spirits burn you alive, humans!!"
