The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 69 Deception and Sneak Attack

The mine was darker than I had imagined; the headlamp could only illuminate four or five meters ahead, and that wasn't enough to go any further.

If it were someone else coming in, they would probably have to walk very carefully through this rugged and uneven mine.

But Lin Ye activated his full mental power, scanning the surrounding corners like a radar. He walked forward as if on flat ground, confidently leading Xiao Guang, and soon left Jianwu behind.

Xiao Guang, who was being pulled along, was pounding her heart and didn't have time to think about why Lin Ye knew so much about the terrain.

Xiao Guang felt a little dizzy, probably because of the lack of oxygen in the mine.

"Hmm, it must be due to lack of oxygen!"

Kengo, who was lagging behind, saw his goddess being pulled into the darkness by a strange man. He became anxious and quickened his pace, but without his mental power cheat, he tripped and fell, hitting his head and howling in pain.

The shouts traveled quickly through the mine and were naturally heard by Lin Ye and Xiao Guang!

"Your childhood friend looks like he's really hurt himself. Should we go check on him?"

"Forget about that guy, he insisted on coming along, who can you blame!" Xiao Guang refused more decisively than a bowl of instant noodles.

"Damn, ruthless. Women can be really ruthless when they get tough. Back in the meeting room, Kengo was the one who kept speaking up for her."

Just then, a fork in the road appeared in front of them. Relying on his spiritual power and the perception of necromancy, Lin Ye immediately sensed where the little devils were. Without stopping for a moment, he led Xiao Guang and chose a direction!

As for whether Kengo, who was left behind, can find us, that depends on his luck.

"Aren't you going to release the Pokémon yet?!"

"Not for now. Those cowards will definitely run away when they sense the presence of powerful Pokémon, just like when your company sent trainers to catch them last time."

"What if they suddenly launch a sneak attack?"

"Don't worry, it's hard to say about ordinary Pokémon, but I'm quite confident in dealing with Ghost-type Pokémon."

After walking for about two more minutes, the passage ahead suddenly opened up, and Lin Ye's mental power completely captured those lurking little devils.

"Lin Ye, why did you stop? Did you find those ghost Pokémon?"

"Yes, we found it!"

Where are they?

"Right under your feet!"

"Ha~~"

Before Xiao Guang could even cry out in surprise, a pitch-black ghost hand suddenly emerged from the silver shadow beneath his feet and grabbed at his calf.

*Smack!*

Ghost Hand failed to catch Xiao Guang because another strong hand grabbed the former's wrist and held it tightly.

"Regardless of whether they're human or not, grabbing a woman's leg upon meeting her is unacceptable!"

Ghost Hand was caught by Lin Ye and began to struggle frantically, even trying to transform back into Shadow.

However, no one knows what kind of magic this human used, but they managed to firmly restrain it, and with a final effort, they even pulled the ghost Pokémon lurking in the shadows up with them.

"Gah~~"

Only then did Xiao Guang finally see the true face of the ghost that had been troubling his mine.

It has a deep purple body, is very short, and has a pair of large, sapphire-like eyes that shine in the darkness. In addition, it has gems growing on its chest and back.

"So it was the Soul Reaper. No wonder it attacked the mines. Those missing gems must have become its food."

The Soul-Hooking Eyes, who had been dragged by Lin Ye, was initially surprised, not understanding why a human could capture him, a ghost.

Once it realized what was happening, it immediately and viciously swung its other claw, aiming straight for Lin Ye's chest.

"Watch out!"

Just as Lin Ye's chest was about to be torn open, the alluring eye suddenly stopped, and its entire body stiffened.

Immediately afterwards, a large head enveloped in gas emerged from Lin Ye's shadow; it was Gastly.

Gastly grunted in dissatisfaction upon appearing, seemingly reluctant to be summoned.

But then, it obediently condensed a "Shadow Ball" and blasted the frozen Soul-Hook Eye away.

After doing all this, it glanced at its former trainer, Plantina, who was about to greet it, but it turned its head away and pretended not to know her.

But this move stirred up a hornet's nest, and shadows on the surrounding rock walls surged one after another, with an equally eerie and chilling head emerging from them.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth...

The cacophony echoed through the cave, sounding like the howls of demons.

Because of the darkness, Xiao Guang could only see a general outline and subconsciously hid behind Lin Ye, but the latter had already used his mental power to perceive everything clearly.

At this moment, there are only about eight Soul-Hooking Eyes from all directions, which is not many, and all of them are only "Excellent" level. If they were to fight head-on, it would not be difficult to wipe them all out.

However, he did not act immediately and prevented Dawn from releasing her Pokémon!

Because, in his perception, there was another Soul-Hooking Eye in a corner not far away, and its energy fluctuations far exceeded those around it, reaching the "professional level." It was probably the leader of this tribe, and he needed to lure it over.

After observing and intimidating the two, the surrounding Sable Eyes, realizing that the two seemed to only be able to produce Gastly, were no longer afraid and instead lunged at them.

But the next moment, countless ice crystals flew up out of thin air in the dark mine. It was the Snow Fairy who floated out from the shadows, and with a light wave of her hands, a "Frozen Wind" swept across!

Those who rushed forward with their soul-snatching eyes were frozen and froze, falling to the ground one after another, shivering on the spot.

Just as the Snow Fairy was about to finish off these Soul-Hooking Eyes in one fell swoop, she suddenly received a communication contract from Lin Ye, warning her to be careful.

Upon hearing this, the Snow Fairy paused, withdrawing her power to prepare for defense.

The next moment, a powerful aura no weaker than its own suddenly burst forth, and then a slender "shadow claw" extended for about ten meters, reaching out to grab its back.

The sneak attack was swift and decisive, but the Snow Fairy was already on guard thanks to Lin Ye's warning. Her "Frozen Ray" shot out, freezing the black ghost hand that had grabbed her.

The two energies clashed from a distance, and after a brief stalemate, they both exploded into dust. The aftershocks sent the Snow Fairy and the "professional" Soul Hooker back a considerable distance.

As the snow fairy retreated, she gradually became ethereal, eventually turning into a shadow upon hitting the rock wall. After a surge, she continued her pursuit of the Soul-Hooking Eye.

Just as the latter regained its footing, it saw the Snow Fairy turn into a shadow and chase after it. So it wrapped its claws around the shadow again, intending to fight it in close combat.

However, just as it was focusing its attention on the attacking snow fairy, another completely different phantom suddenly appeared behind it, which then manifested as a double-scabbard, and the two great swords slashed down at the same time!
