Possessing inanimate objects, phasing through matter, and going invisible, a Will o' Wisp is basically a mob on cheat code.

"That's one problematic fucker!" Leon whispered.

"You read it then Here goes our element of surprise." Vadim sighed lightly and aimed his hand forward.

Three dots of light formed at his fingertips and moved at speed, targeting the closest Will o' Wisp. Sadly, he missed, and the four wisps started moving in various directions.

"So those were the things that spooked me." Leon said, then aimed his two hands forward.

< Changing Classes to "Wizard" and "Rogue" >

With two hands, Leon formed five Magic Bolts that he launched in a strange pattern. He may have learned this spell from Vadim, but he made it so that it doesn't move in a straight line or a curved arc but rather takes the unpredictable path of many wild angels. Still, the wisps were very maneuverable and couldn't land a hit.

At that time, most of the wisps disappeared through the walls and pillars.

"They've gone invisible!" Leon said in frustration.

"Nah." Vadim said, "I'm not sure what your reading told you, but these Wisps don't like to fight and usually escape because they are incorporeal. However, when you do something that provokes their souls, they come to pick a fight."

Leon lowered his guard a bit.

"Alright, I guess this is the last room to explore." Leon walked around slowly.

"Thank the Spirits! The sooner we get out of this place, the less time we waste." Vadim said.

Leon was rather underwhelmed that this sunken place had nothing of value to loot. It is a very corrosive environment anyway, and he expected that the moment he saw water.

There may be no direct leakage from the nearby river, but the water has surely accumulated through infiltration. It was then that Leon had a bright idea. He touched the nearby wall and let his magic flow.

"System. What are the authorities the Admin has?" Leon asked.

< Accessing the Admin Control Panel >

< Please choose one of the following commands: (Admin Log) - (Bunker Status) - (Defense Systems) - (Staff Log) - (Vault Control) >

"Damn! Vadim, this place was some sort of ancient military bunker." Leon spoke.

"My! Built to last indeed Never got maintained in a thousand years." Vadim started feeling the walls as Leon said.

Leon then chose the first command, Admin Log.

< Admin Log: (Current Admin: Ring Bearer) (Last commands: Change Admin Password, Gate Unlocking, Energy Status -insufficient-) (Command History: Defense Mode initiation -failed-, System Diagnosis -failed-, Help Signal -failed-...) >

"It seems like it was besieged. The bunker inhabitants were cut off from the rest of the world." Leon said as he kept scrolling through the System window, but Vadim was busy checking out the walls.

As Leon used the second, third, and fourth commands, he discovered that all the systems of the place were disturbed and any data was corrupted.

"Where would be the Physical Body of the System's Data?" Leon asked.

"I don't understand." Vadim turned to Leon, "Speak in Warrior class terms."

"Fine the Log where the Knowledge of the World is written. The thing that the users of the Knowledge Magic reach when they cast Identify or Read on anything. Where is that?" Leon asked.

"Woah, woah, woah! You're comparing your finesse to a dwarf?" Vadim seemed offended.

Alright, Master Dwarf, watch and learn." Leon laughed slyly, and in a sick and swift motion, he held the metal in the arm of the skeleton with the tips of his fingers. He then started to align his fingers at certain places in order to assess the weight of the box and make sure to never damage the skeleton in the process.

The reason he didn't want to damage that skeleton was because of its archaeological value. And like a swift thief, he retreated to the metal box and lifted it up without a single hitch.

"Alright That's not magic; that requires some practicing, lad." Vadim pointed it out.

"What can I say? I am just your average World-Class Thief." Leon said with a smile.

"World-Class, ya say?" Vadim smirked, "Thank the spirit that's not a title, or the spirits won't leave ya be."

Vadim simply turned after saying that, leaving Leon looking nervously at his status window in the section of the title where it says "World-Class Thief".

Leon started to follow Vadim out while checking out the metal box he got.

"Vadim, what do you think this thing is? The carvings on the box look ancient but it's magical, righ" Leon was walking and not looking ahead, but he suddenly bumped into Vadim, "... What's wrong, man?!"

Leon looked annoyingly at the Dwarf, who suddenly stopped in his place, but Vadim seemed totally focused on something ahead of him. As soon as Leon looked ahead, his eyes widened, and cold sweat drenched his back in an instant, as if he saw some ghost.

Because it was a Ghost!

It looked like a woman, but her eyes were dark and hollow, her hair was long and messy, and her skin was withered and pale. She hovered in what seemed to be a version of the dress she wore when she was alive and pointed at the box Leon was carrying.

"GIVE!"

The ghost opened her mouth, and her words made the world colder.

"IT!"

The Will o' Wisps that disappeared from all across the main room emerged once again, this time in large numbers.

"BACK!"

And the Ghost rushed towards Leon.

[ Banshee ] < Spectral Undead >

Banshees are spirits of woe and vengeance. They haunt the land where they died and weep for what they lost. Only the betrayal of loved ones can make the spirit of a woman become a banshee, and her regret becomes her essence of undeath.

She has the following abilities:-

- Death Magic: The creature can use the Magic of Death due to their negative unliving energy and can also use other forms of magic.

- Wailing Woe: The creature can wail, demoralizing the weak of will. Demoralizing can get the targets to fail to act or react.

- Leech Life: The creature can drain its target's vitality when passing through them.

- Invisibility: the creature can turn invisible by shutting off its light until it attacks or possesses.

- Incorporeal Nature: The creature is immune to physical attacks with mundane weapons and can only be harmed by magical attacks.
