I still feel I'm being watched. One of those ghost-like monsters may have been purified by turn undead, but however many others there are outside the cave, they are still here.
A hissing sound passes by my ear. Immediately afterward, a bitter chill connects with my back. I turn to see a ghost fading out of sight.
I use turn undead. A silence hangs in the air. No monster cores drop. Are these intelligent undead?
A quiet hiss builds up behind me. I turn to face it, and quickly activate turn undead. The ghost's claw clashes with my arm, throwing off white sparks.
[ Skill activated: Holy - Sanctuary ]
Two more ghosts appear within the dark cave. They make some odd movements, then extend their claws toward me. Two spells are deflected.
I dash toward the ghosts. They quickly fade away, faster than the one outside. Do these creatures thrive in darkness? Then...
[ Skill activated: Holy - Illuminate ]
My prayer triggers a new holy skill. The cave is brightly lit, and many ghosts are revealed. They start to flee.
I chase them, but it's no use. They are able to pass through solid rock. I collect a single monster core from outside, and return to town.
