Chapter 29: Intentional Lose?
There was a reason Max had chosen to come down in the basement in Baron's wraith base.
Firstly, there was no water on the surface as they had checked the entire castle, leaving only the basement as the sole place with holy water.
Secondly, it was a logical argument that the wraith would guard the holy water since that was his weakness. He couldn't touch or do anything with the ashes, so that was his only safeguard.
The water was somewhere in the basement, but the Baron wasn't giving them enough tine to find it.
The moment his shadowy figure materialized before them, he increased his pace of offense with small rocks, wood, and even the pillars being thrown at them.
Normally, they could have easily dealt with these kinds of attacks, but they were coming at an insane speed boosted by the Baron's power.
Fortunately, since the wraith was an ethereal being, he didn't have that much physical prowess. Of course, it was still more than enough to deal with Bronze Rank Hunters.
However, things didn't end there.
As Max slid under a speeding stone coming at him, he heard some mumbling near his ears, filled with despair.
"Help! Save me!"
However, he didn't pay any attention to them as he knew it was just the Baron trying to influence his mind.
