Chapter 463 Five Coffins
After the barrier was shattered, just like before, the golden glow from the barrier had turned into energy that couldn't be viewed by the naked eyes as it flowed into the golden diamond on Lin Fan's forehead.
Mo Ze Chen just said with a bitter smile, "Well, should we go in now, boss?"
Lin Fan paused for a second before moving away from the door and saying, "Give me a minute."
Mo Ze Chen was surprised since based on his understanding of Lin Fan, Lin Fan never backed away from anything and faced everything head on. But now, he was actually stopping to make preparations before going into this room.
Could it be that he had sensed something special in this boss room?
After this thought passed in his mind, Mo Ze Chen couldn't help feeling more anxious about going in and he sat down on the side to make his own preparations. But in reality, Mo Ze Chen didn't have much to make since he had lost quite a few artifacts in these ruins already and he hadn't found anything to make up for it just yet…
Even if he wanted to prepare, he didn't have much left, unless he was going to tap into his trump cards.
While Mo Ze Chen was sitting there debating whether to pull out his trump cards or not, Lin Fan was standing there looking at his sleeve.
Lin Fan had indeed stopped to make his preparations, but it was for a completely different reason than what Mo Ze Chen thought.
He had allowed Brainy to rest up during their time in the crypt, but now he needed Brainy's power again. There were thousands of ghosts that were here and he wasn't foolish enough to believe that they wouldn't come alive at the most crucial moment.
It wasn't possible for Lin Fan to fight the boss while controlling puppets to distract the ghosts that could possibly come, so without Brainy there to help him, they would definitely be swarmed by ghosts and that was something that Lin Fan definitely wanted to avoid.
But when he asked Brainy what its condition was, Brainy said that it still hadn't finished recovering yet.
Brainy had been constantly using spiritual sense to control the puppets to lead the ghosts away and this expenditure wasn't low, even if Brainy's spiritual sense was much more powerful than Lin Fan's. Not to mention that it wasn't a single puppet, but rather several dozen of them which each required a single spiritual sense link.
It was equivalent to splitting its mind into several dozen parts and using all of them to control the various puppets, this definitely was not something that normal people could do. Only Brainy with its special bloodline designed for this was able to do this.
But the one good thing to come out of that was that because of the strain of stretching its spiritual sense thin, Brainy had slowly developed it and was now close to breaking through. Brainy was the last of Lin Fan's pet that hadn't broken through to the Soul Realm and once it did, that would also mean a great increase to Lin Fan's strength, whether it was in terms of the size of the army that it could control or the way it could help him control the power of the array.
So Lin Fan decided to wait a few minutes to let Brainy rest up. Brainy had promised that it would take no longer than five minutes which was an amount of time that Lin Fan was willing to wait.
Five minutes passed and Lin Fan could tell that Brainy wasn't in perfect shape because of their bond, but he knew that Brainy was pushing on for his sake, so he didn't say a thing.
After the five minutes passed, Lin Fan suddenly stood up which surprised Mo Ze Chen and the girls sitting on both sides of him. They had been slowly working up the courage to lean against him when Lin Fan had suddenly stood up, making all three of them jump.
Mo Ze Chen had been focusing on what to do for the next room and the two girls had been slowly moving towards him, focusing on getting closer, which was why they had suddenly jumped.
Lin Fan turned to Mo Ze Chen and said, "Let's go."
Mo Ze Chen gave a gulp, but he also nodded without saying a word as he followed behind Lin Fan.
As for the two girls, they could tell that the room that they were about to enter was dangerous, so they were prepared to activate their defenses as soon as they entered the room.
Pushing the door open, Lin Fan was surprised to see that there was actually light inside this room which was the exact opposite of the dark crypt outside.
Inside of this large room that was like a meeting hall were several coffins that ruined the vibe of this room. Other than these coffins, there wasn't a single other thing inside of this room. This room was just like the other rooms in this aspect, only it was much bigger than all the other rooms.
There were five coffins in total that were arranged in a half circle on the other side of the room.
There wasn't even a moment's pause because as soon as Lin Fan's group had walked into this room, there was a sound that came from the other side of the room.
Both Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen raised their guard while the two maids without any hesitation held the torches high up as they released a green glow. This green glow completely surrounded them and formed a green barrier that wrapped them up without leaving a single hole.
Looking carefully, one would see that these girls weren't moving a single inch. They weren't even trembling even though they were holding their torches high up.
But no one paid attention to this since everyone's attention was on the coffins on the other side of the room.
The sound that came from the other side of the room came for the hands that had suddenly poked out of the coffins. Out of each coffin, there was a hand that pushed up the lid and grabbed it, slowly pushing it to the side to reveal what was inside.
The hands that came out were all the same, they all had the rotten flesh of the ghosts, so it was clear what was going to come out.
All of these hands had appeared at the same time, as if they had received some kind of cue. As for what that cue was, there was no doubt that it was when Lin Fan had walked into the room.
But the most shocking thing about this wasn't the hands that had suddenly poked out, rather it was the aura that leaked out of the coffins that was more shocking. Each one of these coffins released a powerful aura that was far above any of the ghosts that Lin Fan's group had met in this crypt.
This was an aura that was equal to the aura that Faust had and it wasn't just one of these auras, but rather there were five of them. That meant that there were most likely five different ghosts that were all in the Child Soul Realm, but not just in the Child Soul Realm, in the mid Child Soul Realm just like Faust.
It had already taken everything that Lin Fan had to deal with Faust back at the hospital and the only reason that he had won was because Faust had one fatal personality flaw. If it wasn't for the strange anger that Faust had that drove him to rush the fight, with Faust's endurance as a necromancer, Lin Fan definitely would have lost since he would have lost all his energy first.
While Lin Fan did become stronger since then, that didn't mean that he could take on five different experts that were all at the same level as Faust.
This was without a doubt the most dangerous boss battle out of all four locations that Lin Fan had been to, but what choice did he have?
If he didn't finish this and get the item that he needed, that would mean that he wouldn't be able to solve the mystery of this realm, finish this trial, and help Mo Ze Chen save his girl.
Well, the last one wasn't really that convincing for him, but still he wanted to help Mo Ze Chen.
What really drove him was the so called energy of the gods that the little girl had talked about. This was the first hint that he had received on the origin of the system.
As the hands pushed the lid to the side, more of the aura leaked out and Lin Fan was certain that these ghosts weren't just at the same level as Faust, they were far above him.
If he had to guess, each one of these ghosts should be at the high Child Soul Realm, being close to reaching the peak.
There was also one that was completely different from the others. The one ghost that came out of the coffin in the center, the moment its lid had been pushed off, the aura of the ghost far surpassed the four ghosts around it.
Lin Fan could tell that this ghost in the center was even stronger than the other four ghosts, most likely being in the peak Child Soul Realm.
Lin Fan simply had no confidence in facing these ghosts at all, but he had no choice as they were already coming out of their coffins.
