Fantasy Realm [One Piece] [Harry Potter] [Naruto] - [Progression] [LitRPG]

Chapter 51: A Glitch in the Matrix - Exploit Detected!

As Garnet's shrill scream echoes through the underground facility, a swarm of "Ghost" enemies rush into the room. Unlike in the game, where there were only two, Alex is horrified to see ten of them charging at their small group of four. These ghosts not only cast fire and thunder spells, but they also use the osmose ability to drain MP from their enemies.

"Oh shit! I need to do it now, they're all grouped together!" Alex immediately reacts, pulling out not one, not two, but three Annihilation grenades. He throws them into the swarm, using up half of his prepared grenades in one go. Stealth is no longer an option, and with no villagers nearby, it's time for an all-out attack.

BOOM
BOOM
BOOM

The ground shakes from the blasts, and Alex feels the sting of shrapnel hitting his armor, though it causes no damage thanks to the distance away from the impact and the strength of his Armor of Pluto. The explosions cause a whirlwind of damage notifications to appear in front of him, but Alex ignores them, focused on the battle at hand.

Despite the heavy assault, five of the Ghosts survive the blasts, having been quick enough to evade the full force of the explosion. They immediately retaliate, launching fire and thunder spells at the group, with Alex taking the brunt of the attack since he placed himself at the front.

You have taken 14 damage
You have taken 11 damage

You have lost 16 MP

"Use your White Magic on them! They're undead!" Alex yells at Garnet, gritting his teeth as his MP is drained. He raises his shield, blocking incoming strikes while using his sword to keep the ghosts at bay. Zidane leaps into the fray, spinning and slashing with his daggers, his movements quick and agile as he cuts through the flying enemies.

Vivi, seeing the chaos, unleashes a massive "Fire" spell, pushing the Ghosts back with the blast of flames.

Garnet begins charging a "Cure" spell, knowing that her healing magic will harm the undead enemies. Meanwhile, Alex and Zidane work together to take down one of the Ghosts, with Alex slamming his shield into the creature, forcing it to stumble back into Zidane's waiting daggers. The sharp blades slice through the ghost, killing it.

Garnet's spell finally goes off, bathing the room in a soft, healing light that deals devastating damage to the remaining Ghosts. All but one are obliterated by the power of the spell. The last surviving Ghost tries to flee, retreating towards the now open door.

Without missing a beat, Alex calmly draws his trusty [Mr. 5's .44 Caliber 6-Shot Revolver] and, with precise aim, fires a single shot.

You have dealt 27 damage to Ghost
You have killed Ghost
You receive 140 gil

The ghost disintegrates into mist, its presence vanishing as the room finally falls silent.

He gets a total of 840 gil from killing six Ghosts, which makes his OCD jump with joy as his gil count returns to a cool 1000.
