[Xinhuan: Oil truck? Sticky oil that burns?]

[Adam_Balch_7324: Thats gotta be rough all that burnt hair makes me a bit nauseous just thinking about it]

Boom!

Everyone couldn't help but make a weird smile.

"Ouch. That is really an oil truck as in crude oil, not gasoline." Mia glanced at Oliver after watching how the oil splashed on the surrounding area, which had already been covered by hair. Not only did the hair become sticky, but it was also burning from all directions.

"Ueeee!" The ghost let out a cry.

"I have all four types: Water, Oil, Gasoline, and Gas. So, I just use them depending on my needs." Oliver nodded. "My parents used their connections and money to buy everything. Gotta repay them in the future."

Maya and Serena instinctively grabbed their heads as if they could feel the heat on their skin.

Theo couldn't help but see their reactions while looking at the comments.

'Hmm? The author seems to have replied to the comments with their reactions?' Theo thought. 'The author has become a bit more creative to reply to the comments.'

However, Theo's focus soon returned to the Toon Environment. He had expanded the ground so that the fire didn't spread to the surrounding area.

Yet, even after that big blast, the ghost didn't seem to be that affected. Both the falling truck and the explosion actually cracked its face a bit more and even burned most of its hair, but the ghost wasn't completely destroyed.

In fact, the crack was actually smaller than Theo originally thought.

The crack on its cheek expanded toward the bottom part of the eye while there was another crack on the other cheek. However, the ghost soon stood up as if it were immortal as long as the face wasn't destroyed.

"This is going nowhere," Rintaro muttered. They had used a lot of their energy this whole time, yet the ghost didn't show any sign of being destroyed. He couldn't help but look at Theo and say, "The way we fight has changed drastically once he enters the battle. It feels like the group has found its leader. His daughter understands him and goes around spreading the plan. This class is strong, but I don't think we have enough essence to defeat this ghost."

Theo seemed to know about it as well. He suddenly leaped into the air while shouting, "Mia. Ring Toss and Bonfire."

"!!!" Mia took one second to process the information in her head before looking around as if trying to figure out what he wanted.

Theo, on the other hand, had summoned his clown again, while the ghost seemed to have raised its power to a whole different level.

A few black-colored creatures emerged from the ground, leaping toward Theo's avatar.

Theo hurriedly shot his threads to catch them, but surprisingly, the creatures passed through his thread as if they didn't have a physical body.

"…" Theo clicked his tongue and controlled the avatar to slap those creatures, which caused its hands to be covered in black essence that soon corroded the entire body.

Fortunately, Theo had recalled the avatar before it was taken over. But he noticed that the ghost had actually learned the wire's true ability.

That was right. The wire's ability wasn't as mystical as Gravity Staff or Soul Scythe. Instead, its ability was as simple as being unbreakable. In other words, no matter how they tried to destroy the wires, unless there was a huge gap between their power, the wire wouldn't be able to be cut.

This was the real reason for the wire's extraordinary durability to endure all the stress Theo had placed on it.

But in exchange for that ability, Theo couldn't channel his Spiritual Energy, causing the creatures from earlier passed through his wires.

Seeing the ghost summoning more creatures, Theo had no choice but to go down. The ghost was still burning and sticky. Not only did it cause the appearance to be disgusting, but it also made it look more terrifying.

Around fifty creatures emerged from the ground as they rushed toward the students. They were Theo's weakness and their strength couldn't be underestimated. If the ghost managed to remove the students from the equation, it would be able to defeat the rest of the fighters.

"Incoming!" Mia shouted.

Li Wei and Avalon rushed forth and started slashing the enemies with their blades. However, they were actually stronger than the spiders they fought earlier. In just two clashes, they ended up getting pushed back.

Serena tossed a few vials that boosted Li Wei and Avalon's physical abilities once hit, allowing them to push the enemies back.

Iris also came to help them by slashing six creatures at once, but when she aimed at other demons, her sword was stopped before it made a complete swing.

Cling!

To her surprise, it also produced a clicking sound as though the creature in front of her had a physical body. This monster's appearance looked similar to other creatures the ghost summoned, but she noticed the curved blade coming out of the monster's wrists. It was the one that stopped her blade.

Iris didn't think that the creatures would be able to stop her strike, but it might be a special one, since Iris couldn't find any curved blades on other demons.

Theo also fought two of these creatures. He formed a blade with his essence and parried a few slashes, thinking that the wires wouldn't work on them.

But when he found out that they had a physical body, he hurriedly shot a few more wires to wrap them together.

Seeing the students in danger, Rintaro tossed a talisman that turned into multiple particles. "Lady Haruka!"

"Alright!" Haruka placed a talisman one meter above her head and activated it, forming a rainbow star. The rainbow star projected its other half into the sky as it released light to connect both of them.

Only when it had been fully charged did Haruka shoot the energy down in the form of multiple smaller lasers. They hit the floating particles that Rintaro specifically placed near the creatures.

The creatures tried to block it, but it was too strong. Their entire body could only melt once it touched this energy.

Despite their best efforts, there were simply too many creatures. Li Wei and Avalon were able to stop a few of them, but Jayden couldn't fight them, afraid that the energy would take over his body again.

Aurora launched several arrows to mow them down while the twins helped the vanguards block these creatures.

Maya shouted, "Don't lower your guards. The number of threats isn't decreasing!"

Maya's instinct had actually felt that the dangers coming their way just changed position, not decreased. In other words, the destroyed creatures actually respawned, causing the battle to become even harder.

"Tsk." Avalon clicked his tongue as the creature he just struck ended up exploding its body. A part of the black essence actually reached his right arm, which spread like plague. Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Fortunately for him, Rintaro came to him and evaporated the black essence with his purification method. Even if Avalon could hold them back, the number was still too much.

Li Wei also began to have a hard time. If this continued, these creatures would go past them and harm the people behind them. Aurora and the others might not be the only ones in danger, considering the ghost could actually use this creature to attack the hotel. Its original objective was to get their blood after all.

Oliver summoned two trucks with a big tank on their backs. "Jayden. Destroy the tank! It's water!"

Jayden turned around, saw the trucks, and hurriedly struck the tank, creating a hole in it. A huge amount of water suddenly burst out, flooding the area. It didn't push back the creatures since it was only normal water, but it seemed they had a hard time moving in here.

In fact, their bodies started glitching. It was then they realized Rintaro had actually blessed the water to harm them.

Jayden hurriedly destroyed the other tank to stall for more time.

It was at this time that Mia shouted, "Dad! I am ready!"

Theo glanced to the side, finding Mia standing on the shoulder of the giant bear.

Without hesitation, Theo lifted his finger. "Come forth!"

He utilized the Toon Territory to manipulate the environment underneath the ghost. All of a sudden, a giant tree emerged from the ground, impaling the ghost's body. It was stopped by all the hair, but the trees actually flowed like water, expanding through all the gaps between the hair. Some of the branches even pushed the hair away to create some spaces. Eventually, it grew past the ghost's head, causing its body to be stuck to this tree.

"!!!" The ghost wanted to destroy the trees and continued, but Theo had actually summoned a giant ring.

Mia's teddy bear grabbed the ring and tossed it toward the ghost. The ring ended up hitting the ghost's face before spinning with the ghost as its pole like in the game Ring Toss.

The ghost felt like it had been punched from all directions until the ring landed on the ground.

But by that time, the bear had tossed the second ring.

"Ueee!" The ghost continued to take the beating without any sign of stopping.

Without realizing it, the ghost had been surrounded by various rings that stacked up against each other. Its height almost matched the ghost's height.

Unfortunately for the ghost, the moment it recovered, it didn't have more time to react.

After all, the person, who had been sitting out the whole time, finally made his move.

Lancelot's voice echoed through the battlefield. "Move away! Tier 3 Magic, Phoenix!"

A magic circle formed in front of Lancelot's palm, shooting out a phoenix made of essence from within.

However, this phoenix soon lit up with a small spark, revealing its true might.

The phoenix let out a cry before hitting the ghost from above.

The ghost screamed again, but Oliver couldn't help but shout, "The fire is not enough. Even with Maya's missiles and my oil truck, it's not enough!"

"No. That is enough. After all, we're talking about Lancelot's fire!" Mia shook her head. The small fire coming from the phoenix suddenly turned into a blaze that spread down the body.

"What?!" Oliver dropped his jaw. The ghost should have known how to handle the fire. It was painful, but if it continued producing the hair, it would be able to push it away sooner or later.

However, Lancelot's fire was not like any other. The ghost tried to release more hair, but the fire spread far faster than the ghost's regenerative speed. By the time the flame reached the ground, it had completely burned the ghost from the very bottom to the very top. The flame spread to the rings Mia tossed earlier.

In just a few seconds, the Ring Toss Game had turned into the materials for a bonfire.
