Chapter 1183: Magic Resistance

Jason clicked his tongue and told the system to fuck off before Jason began to float higher so he could get a better look at the charging ghouls.

There were a lot of subordinates standing around this region, but for some reason, all of the ghouls seemed to completely ignore the subordinates as they continued making their way towards the colony. The ghouls made no noise as they ran, and their stride was so large that it looked like they were floating on air! The ghouls suddenly split up into many different groups of five, and one of the groups headed straight for the colony where Jason was waiting.

Jason was floating up in the air, so the ghouls couldn’t see him yet, and Jason simply watched with folded hands as the ghouls moved towards the kneeling colony like ants moving towards sugar. Each ghoul grabbed one Revali by the face, and the ghoul’s face suddenly warped and shifted to reveal a large mouth shaped like a black hole!

The black hole began to swirl dangerously like a suction cup, and a bright blue substance flowed out from the Revali’s body and entered into the ghouls’ mouth. Jason didn’t even need to use his senses to know that the blue substance was Qi, and Jason wondered how often something like this happened for the Revali to be so willing to accept their fate. The Revali had gone to their knees and prepared themselves the moment the blood moon appeared, so this entire process had to be some sort of constant ritual to them. But Jason didn’t really care about the ritual, so he put out his hand and activated a PRIMORDIAL skill.

[Golden Flames]!

The skill lit up the red sky in a golden hue, and all the ghouls stopped what they were doing and turned around in shock when they felt the intense heat above them. The ghouls let out loud, inhuman screeches toward Jason, and Jason unleashed his power.

PHWOOM!

BOOM!

An explosion of golden flames erupted through the region, and all the Revali and Ghouls were blown away by the shockwave. Jason watched as the fire scorched everyone below him, and loud screeches echoed through the region as the ghouls struggled to try and put out the fire. But Jason knew they wouldn’t be able to do anything. The flames were PRIMORDIAL level, while the ghouls here were only around TITAN Rank II and III. Jason expected all of them to struggle until they finally passed away, but Jason was surprised when all of the Ghouls simply began to get to their feet before they began rolling around on the ground and digging themselves into the soil to try and get the flames off them.

Jason felt shock pass through him as he watched this! What in the world was happening!? The TITAN ranks shouldn’t be able to withstand these flames at all! And the craziest part of it wasn’t even that the ghouls survived, but rather the fact that the ghouls didn’t die at all. Unlike the Revali, who would usually die and then come back to life, the ghouls weren’t killed by the fire at all.

’My King! Our attacks aren’t effective against the enemies. What shall we do?’

One of the subordinates on the other side of the region sent Jason a message. The subordinate was facing off against an army of Ghouls that were in a different colony, and Jason realised that this wasn’t a problem for only him. All the subordinates were struggling to defeat the ghouls because the ghouls weren’t dying against attacks that should easily kill TITAN Ranks.

Jason thought about this for a few seconds, and Jason suddenly turned towards Helios as Helios opened its mouth and unleashed a skill.

[Phoenix Bomb]!

A ball of pure crimson fire erupted from Helios’s mouth and travelled straight towards one of the ghouls! The ball imploded on impact, and a wave of fire surged through the region and consumed two other ghouls who had been standing at the side!

Ding!

The system immediately echoed a notification sound, and Jason was shocked when he saw a tab open in front of him.

——

The user has killed [3] TITAN Rank III Ghouls

+523,000 Kill Points

——

Jason blinked in surprise when he saw this notification before he suddenly smiled! Well, this was interesting. Jason immediately figured out exactly what he had been doing wrong all this time. Unlike the Revali, the ghouls weren’t immortal, and they weren’t able to come back after death, but what the ghouls had was an incredible resistance to magic. The ghouls were capable of taking on skills that were much higher level than they were because of this. But although they were resistant to magic, the ghouls were not resistant to Qi, and that meant that any Qi-based skill that was strong enough would kill them.

Jason immediately sent a message to his Legion.

’All Qi-based subordinates are now in charge of the hunt. Everyone else is going to be their support. Give the Qi users enough space to attack without getting hit.’

The Legion quickly accepted the order, and they changed tactics immediately. Jason already had a lot of powerful Qi monsters in his Legion after the hunt he carried out in the Eastern Mountain Sect. Those monsters quickly moved to the front of the army at various locations, and Jason began the attack all over again. The red sky lit up in various colours as the Qi monsters unleashed their skills on the ghouls, and Jason watched as various notifications appeared on his system tab.

The Legion were absolutely demolishing the ghouls all around the world, but the ghouls were not willing to go down without a fight. Many of the ghouls charged straight towards the Legion, and anytime the ghouls reached one of the subordinates, they would latch onto the subordinate with their long arms and legs. Although the ghouls were magically weaker than a lot of the subordinates, the ghouls possessed an unbelievable amount of physical strength, and this allowed the ghouls to hold the subordinates down and begin to suck the life-force out of them.

Once the ghouls were done sucking the life out of the subordinate, the subordinate would fall to the ground completely unable to move, and they would remain there for at least thirty minutes as they tried ot replenish their life force. It was impossible to use healing magic to get rid of the effect, so Jason told all the subordinates to be careful when getting close to the ghouls. The battle raged for a long time, and as time passed Jason learned more and more about the ghouls that allowed him to fight them better.

The first thing Jason learned was that there were hundreds of thousands of these things. The ghouls were like an endless swarm of grey beasts that just never stopped coming. The Legion had already killed more than three thousand of them at this point, but the ghouls just kept on coming.
