If Gao Lianyu was a bulldozer, then he was a at grinder. The giant axe in his hands spun like a whirlwind, and wherever he went, Walking Corpses, regardless of strength, were all equally cleaved in half. A competition of slaughter had begun between the two n.
At the sa ti, just as the Corpse-driving Warlock was directing the army of Walking Corpses into disarray due to the interferences of the two n, a shadow stealthily approached from behind the Warlock, enveloping the oblivious man like the shadow of death itself.
This person was none other than Ma Long. Relying on the slow and dull reactions of the Walking Corpses, he used the Ranger's Disguise skill to slip through the sparse crowd of corpses and circle to the back of the Corpse-driving Warlock.
From the shadows, a nimble figure suddenly made a killing move.
Ultimate Skills: Death Waltz! Ma Long unleashed his powerful move from the get-go, spinning around the Corpse-driving Warlock so fast that afterimages were created, slashing his dual blades repeatedly at the boss within the circle. Red damage numbers kept popping up incessantly.
However, the Corpse-driving Warlock seed insensible to pain, and despite taking many blows, he showed no sign of stiffness. He lifted a hand and countless rotting arms burst from the ground at his feet, reaching frantically for Ma Long's ankles, and he was dragged to a halt mid-move.
Before even having a chance to consider how to break free from Immobilization, the Corpse-driving Warlock already sprayed a puff of green smoke in his face, and Ma Long was imdiately stained a sickly grey-green color.
System Notification: You have been afflicted with Decomposing Corpse Poison, all your Attributes have been reduced by 2 points, and you are losing 4 health points per second.
The duration of this DEBUFF was a whole minute, and Ma Long thought to himself, if it's not resolved soon, it's going to cost soone their life in a minute.
His health points were just over two hundred, and he simply couldn't withstand such damage. Therefore, he hurriedly activated the Ranger's life-saving move, 'Wild Heart'. The poison effect on his body was imdiately cleared, and he also broke free from the control of Corpse Binding Skills. But he could use Wild Heart only once a day; if he got poisoned again, it wouldn't be so easy to resolve.
No sooner had Ma Long cleared the poison than he saw a washbasin-sized fireball condensing in the hands of the Corpse-driving Warlock. Unlike the normal crimson fireballs, this one was a pale green color.
Zhang Hao caught sight of that fireball and was alard. He knew the power it held, "Ma Long, get back! It's a Nether Fire Orb."
Hearing his teammate's shout, Ma Long didn't hesitate to activate Wilderness Rush, which caused his speed to suddenly double, and he hightailed it out of there. He wasn't far off when the Corpse-driving Warlock's fireball was launched. Because it was a non-targeting ga, he wasn't hit directly.
The green fireball exploded just behind him, blasting away several Walking Corpses who couldn't dodge in ti. Although it missed him, the splashing damage still hit him. The Nether Fire Orb didn't have strong direct damage, but it ca with a burning effect, charring away more than thirty of his health points before dissipating.
Such a powerful killing force! Ma Long inwardly took a sharp breath.
"Let handle him. You just need to control those minor monsters," Zhang Hao gave an order, and his four Black Evils imdiately charged forward.
Ma Long did not try to show off. He slapped on a herbal patch to slowly heal himself and rushed towards a few isolated minor monsters.
The four Black Evils hadn't even reached the enemy when two strong Corpse Monsters blocked their way. These were the hulking Zombies that Li Jian had previously encountered. There were probably only four in the entire army of Walking Corpses, two of which had faced off against Li Jian and Gao Lianyu, but the remaining two had always stayed by the Corpse-driving Warlock's side.
Black Evil was rely a low-level type among Zombies; even with four against two, the fighters were evenly matched. However, Zhang Hao was no slouch. Mysterious Yin Wondrous thod—Undead Decomposition!
A stream of dark energy was continuously drained from one of the Corpse Monsters, which was the fundantal force that propelled undead creatures—Yin Energy. As the Yin Energy was completely extracted, the Corpse Monster's body suddenly slumped and fell to the ground.
The battle quickly beca one-sided. The four Black Evils easily dispatched the remaining Corpse Monster four against one. anwhile, Li Jian and Gao Lianyu had each dealt with their opponents as well. They fought their way to the Corpse-driving Warlock's side, and Ma Long reappeared behind the Warlock, his Black Panther by his side.
Looking at the Corpse-driving Warlock surrounded and helpless, the team closed in for the kill...
A minute later—
"Foolish mortals, you have no understanding of what you're up against. Death is rely the beginning—Ah!!!"
With a piercing scream, the beleaguered Corpse-driving Warlock finally collapsed, defeated.
"Heh, I thought at the very least there'd be so sort of ultimate move at the end, but it ended just like that." Gao Lianyu had barely finished speaking when the situation suddenly changed.
"Foolish mortals, death ans nothing to . Tremble before the Power of the Underworld God!"
A ghastly figure suddenly floated up from the Corpse-driving Warlock's body. It bore so resemblance to the Corpse-driving Warlock, but it was translucent, and its body appeared larger and more imposing, surrounded by an eerie black aura.
The originally dark blue na had now turned silver, and its strength had actually increased by a level, with only two words for a na—Evil Spirit!
"FUCK, I knew it wasn't going to be this easy!" Gao Lianyu cursed as he swung his sword, only to pass right through the Evil Spirit. "Damn it, this thing is a phantom."
The Evil Spirit reached out and swiped at him, causing a harsh, tallic scraping sound. Gao Lianyu was so frightened that he hurriedly raised his shield. "Damn it, I'm losing health, this thing's attacks are so strong."
A few people hacked away in a frenzy, but it caused no damage. anwhile, Zhang Hao observed the battle and began casting a spell. His spell seed to be a kind of ultimate skill, taking a full ten seconds to release.
Pure Yang Wondrous thod—Holy Word Technique! A pillar of pure white light, thick as a bucket, ca crashing down. The intense white light shone on the Evil Spirit that had ford from the Corpse-driving Warlock, imdiately causing white smoke to rise from it, like boiling water poured over ice cream. In a few seconds, it dissipated and lted away entirely.
Xiao Buli was shocked. He'd originally thought that Zhang Hao was a profession similar to the Necromancer, but now he realized that he could also use holy spells similar to those of a priest. That was indeed pretty buggy.
"Phew, that scared to death. Lucky we had Old Zhang. Let's see what we've got. Zhang Hao, you have the highest Luck stat, you open it," they said.
Zhang Hao unapologetically nodded and clicked open the corpse. The loot that appeared made him frown.
"How's it, did we get any good stuff, any Skill Books?"
"There is actually one." Zhang Hao spoke as he distributed the Boss loot, with a Skill Book at the top of the list.
"Evil Spirit Reincarnation": This art was created by the Necromancers of the Grand Yin Sect. Practitioners of this art will not die imdiately upon death; instead, they will transform into a powerful Evil Spirit and continue to fight. The Evil Spirit can sustain itself for twenty-four hours and will naturally dissipate after the ti is up.
To learn this spell, you need basic Necromancy and 14 points of spiritual power.
"Damn, another Reincarnation Skill, totally speechless," Ma Long complained upon seeing the drop.
Reincarnation Skills only take effect after the user dies, a real pain without explanation. Last ti, the Green Dragon Group got a "Reincarnation of the Corpse Ghost", and this ti they got an "Evil Spirit Reincarnation". It seems like this is all Corpse-driving Warlock type Bosses drop.
But it was still better than nothing. Zhang Hao told the other three, then stashed the Skill Book in his own bag, as he was the only one who could learn it.
The rest of the drops were a few sky-blue colored pieces of equipnt of just average quality. The three of them divided them up, thus concluding this SOLO battle.
"Right, that thing the Corpse-driving Warlock transford into must be the so-called Evil Spirit, huh? Seems pretty powerful, immune to physical attacks. Makes one wonder if Zhang Hao will beco that thing after he dies."
Li Jian laughed and said, "You better hold your tongue, with your unlucky predictions always coming true."
"Coincidence, it's just a coincidence," Gao Lianyu said, though without much confidence, mainly because he had a bad track record with his jinxing.
"Alright, the Corpse-driving Warlock has been taken care of. You guys can safely head back to the village; we won't stick around, bye everyone!"
After saying goodbye to the newbies, the fourso set off on their howard journey with their horse-drawn carriage.
