The two fifth-tier Undead Mages had no chance to escape; they could only stand in place. It must be said, these tier-five Undead Creatures were truly capable of dragging out the battle. At that mont, Du You was fearless and directly opened the screen on his wristwatch, allowing the two sisters to watch together.
However, now, apart from being able to see a large Insect Ball, there was nothing else of interest visible.
After activating the orb, Du You continued to wait. The battle dragged on for more than two hours, with the Undead Knight being the first to falter. With his Death Douqi completely exhausted, he could only continue swinging his long sword to attack the Beetles, but this thod of attack wasn’t effective. Even though the Undead Knight’s attack speed was very fast and could kill a large number of Beetles at once, there were still Beetles that managed to latch onto him.
With no Dou Qi left to shield himself, he couldn’t block the Beetles gnawing at him; bit by bit, his armor and flesh were devoured. This damage grew greater over ti; eventually, the Undead Knight was inevitably devoured completely.
"He truly was tough, deserving of being a fifth-tier Undead. It’s a pity, though; unbalanced developnt makes them so fragile."
Du You sighed. If it had been a fifth-tier Undead Mother Nest, he definitely wouldn’t have dared to do this. A tier-five Undead Mother Nest had too strong a perception; if he attacked, he wouldn’t be able to hide at all and would certainly be discovered.
Moreover, even if a large number of dark Beetles ford, risking destroying a massive amount of Undead Creatures, the Mother Nest could use psychic attacks to completely eradicate them. Of course, more likely, the Beetles would be wiped out before they could spread, along with himself. This is why, even though the Mother Nest wasn’t as powerful as this city, Du You still didn’t dare attack it.
But this city wasn’t a match for him at all, because it had no ans to deal with this situation.
It’s true that Undead Mages aren’t afraid of numbers, but when facing situations that use their own strengths against them, and with smaller, more nurous adversaries, they really have no way to cope. This is because the Mages in this world face too few threats and lack experience in this area.
After another hour, all four Undead had exhausted their energy and then were completely devoured. The two unfortunate fifth-tier Undead Mages were also constantly gnawed at by the insects; in the end, their random spellcasting and running around were useless, only accelerating the consumption of their Magic Power and physical strength, making it impossible to escape the Beetles.
Since the Beetles hadn’t had a large amount of food for a long ti, they began to disperse in significant numbers, but with continuous replenishnt from the mother insect and so Beetles moving farther away to gnaw on so bodies on the ground, the swarm of Beetles was able to maintain itself until now.
Finally, in a perilously close situation, the two Mages’ Magic Power was drained completely and they were ultimately devoured.
"That was really dangerous. If their magic had entirely dissipated in the end, we really would have had no way to deal with them," Du You exhaled deeply, not having expected the battle, despite his absolute advantage, to turn out this way.
"It seems that for future endeavors like this, we can’t let the Beetles eat everything they can. We must leave so food behind. When the ti is almost up, we can use this food to maintain their numbers."
Listening to Lin Yucha’s words, Du You agreed profoundly. Although it would be difficult to achieve this level of control, it wasn’t impossible.
"Never mind, let’s see what we’ve gained from this first." Since it involved a mission, there were no treasure chests. But upon opening the panel, Du You smiled because he had completed his mission, achieving a 10-star rating on his panel.
Indeed, having eliminated two Undead Mages and six fifth-tier combatants from the city. If he couldn’t achieve 10 stars with that, then likely no one could, so his mission was finally complete.
Du You submitted the mission, and his bottleneck was thoroughly broken through.
"Wow, there’s actually such a great item. Look, this King of Skeletons skill is innate at tier-four—no need to find advancent materials," Du You observed, encountering such a level of magic for the first ti.
This was a summoning skeleton type of magic but was specifically a war magic, used exclusively for war.
Upon seeing this magic, the two sisters’ eyes also brightened. "A tier-four constructed magic like this, if sold, could definitely fetch sothing very nice," Du You said excitedly.
Suddenly, Lin Yucha shook her head and said, "No, we shouldn’t sell this magic. While we haven’t leveled up yet, Master, you should hurry and learn it. This type of war magic is really rare."
Du You was a bit puzzled, "Isn’t Yu Shi’s Demon Extermination Spirit also this kind of war magic? Besides, I also have the dark Beetles, which are sufficient."
Lin Yucha shook her head and explained, "No, it’s different. The dark Beetles have limited duration and are susceptible to being countered by wide-ranging special magic. Once countered, that skill is basically useless. Also, once this skill is exposed, those who want to target us finding a countering skill isn’t hard, so the effectiveness isn’t good."
Lin Yucha continued, "Moreover, Yu Shi’s Demon Extermination Spirit also has a duration, although it lasts up to three days, but it too is limited. But this skill has an unlimited duration. And this skill doesn’t conflict with Yu Shi’s Demon Extermination Spirit."
After thinking it over and calming down, Du You considered it and realized it was true.
Yu Shi’s Demon Extermination Spirit involved killing the enemy and directly extracting life force from the enemy to create it, leaving the corpses still as corpses on the ground. anwhile, the King of Skeletons skill utilized the corpses completely, requiring nothing else.
Even without any remaining soul, it didn’t matter; any corpse would do. The only requirent was that the corpses shouldn’t be too small; they had to be at least the size of a dostic dog.
Yu Shi created the Demon Extermination Spirit, and he would use the corpses to create skeletons, which seed like a perfect combination.
With this realization, Du You finally felt tempted, "You’re right, this skill is indeed suitable for us, so let’s create it. Let see; perfect evolution requires five hundred thousand Crystal Coins, that’s really a lot. But no worries, we now have so many Crystal Coins, too many to even spend." That they had Crystal Coins to such an extent was a miracle.
The two sisters smiled, watching Du You, and offered no further opinions. anwhile, Du You sat on the side; the area was very safe for now. Without dispersing the dark Beetles and Dark Mother Beetles, under the protection of the Beetles, Du You began to burn Crystal Coins.
A massive convergence of the power of the world occurred, and a new skill steadily took shape. No advancent materials needed, starting off at tier-four. It was fortunate he hadn’t rushed to advance just after submitting the mission; otherwise, he would have had to spend blue Crystal Coins.
