Chapter 1020: Chapter 1022: Necromancer_1 Chapter 1020: Chapter 1022: Necromancer_1 Sosmia was a necromancer, level eighty, possessing the peak combat power of the second-tier. In fact, three years ago, he already had the strength to challenge the third-order combat assessnt, but he had not succeeded in the challenge even once.
“No one can stop on the path to legendary status…” Sosmia stared at the churning Protection Black Mist in front of him, his expression gradually becoming ferocious.
He took out a Bone Wand and summoned several Skeleton Soldiers with the combat power of Elite-Level Bosses. These Skeleton Soldiers were over two ters tall, clad in thick magical iron armor, and wielded heavy swords. If not for the black aura of the undead emanating from their bodies, they would look just like human heavy infantry.
Sosmia didn’t know that the Protection Black Mist had an exit and entrance; he thought it was an unclaid land. The fluctuations of a God Shard emanated from the depths of this unclaid territory.
With such formidable defenses in place, Sosmia would usually avoid such regions if encountered during normal tis, since strong defenses signified that the monsters inside, in terms of both quantity and quality, were not sothing that soone who had not yet reached third-tier combat power could explore.
However, the fluctuations of the God Shard had continuously captured his attention, making him unable to let go. Whether for absorbing it to enhance his own strength, using it to craft his own signature equipnt, or trading it with others, acquiring this God Shard could bring imnse benefits.
Not to ntion a peak second-tier existence like him, even those who have reached third-tier combat power, or even Legendary Level, could not resist the allure of a God Shard.
You should know that for those who had surpassed the third tier, those at the Legendary Level, Doomsday Coins held no attractions. The items purchasable with Doomsday Coins had beco useless to them.
They needed to use another currency, Divine Coins, which were made from God Shards. If Sosmia could get his hands on a God Shard, it would represent a colossal fortune for him. It could allow him to easily bypass the bottleneck of the peak of second-tier combat power and reach the third tier.
“I have failed the third-order combat assessnt three tis. I absolutely cannot fail again next ti!” Sosmia whispered, as if to bolster his own courage.
Controlling the powerful Skeleton Soldiers, Sosmia slowly approached the Protection Black Mist and soon, his figure disappeared into the black fog.
After entering the black fog, Sosmia felt many powerful presences, among them the undead aura he was most familiar with.
“There are undead creatures here as well?” A smile appeared at the corner of Sosmia’s mouth, knowing that as a necromancer, he was most adept at dealing with undead creatures.
Before long, Sosmia sensed that several huge stone golems had surrounded both him and the Skeleton Soldiers he controlled. Each of these stone golem monsters had the strength of a level fifty Elite Boss. Such strength wasn’t much for an eighty-level necromancer. At first, he could comfortably control a few Skeleton Soldiers, continuously hunting these stone golems, but soon he noticed sothing unusual.
“How can there be so many…” Sosmia frowned. Even if they were only level fifty Elite Bosses, surpassing a certain number could still pose a threat to him.
A few Skeleton Soldiers showed signs of defeat in the face of the incoming stone golem guardians. Although Skeleton Soldiers did not tire, dealing with several stone golems at once was extrely difficult. The magical iron armor they wore had begun to crack, and it wouldn’t be long before these painstakingly created Skeleton Soldiers would return to the netherworld.
“I can’t fight this head-on. I must get through quickly!” Sosmia thought to himself. Just as he was controlling the Skeleton Soldiers preparing to break through, he suddenly felt a familiar presence.
A group of giant skeletons, each towering over ten ters tall, were slowly encircling them. Each of these giant skeletons possessed the strength of a Level 60 Lord-level BOSS. For Sosmia, who had yet to break through to the peak of second-tier combat power, they were an imnse threat.
But upon sensing these undead creatures, not only did Sosmia not retreat, but a trace of delight also appeared on his face.
“What an unexpected windfall. I didn’t think that such high-grade undead creatures would be hidden here. Most importantly, these undead creatures have no controlling consciousness; they rely act on instinct. Hahaha, it’s like they’re being given to as battle pets!” Sosmia burst into laughter.
He was originally going to continue summoning undead creatures, but he suddenly stopped. It’s known that every ti he summons undead creatures from his necromantic space, it would consu ntal strength. The number of summoned creatures was limited each ti, and the stronger the undead creatures, the more ntal strength was consud. Moreover, maintaining their existence in this world also required a considerable expenditure of ntal strength. Therefore, although necromancers are a type of mage, they are the ones most lacking in “mana.”
In a short while, over a dozen ten-ter-tall skeleton lords appeared before Sosmia, each wielding a six-ter-long gigantic black bone blade, chopping viciously at the skeleton soldiers.
The intense pressure caused the ground around the skeleton soldiers to start cracking. All the stone people attacking the skeleton soldiers began fleeing in all directions. So of the stone people who couldn’t withstand the intense pressure even directly crumbled to pieces.
Boom~
The sound of thundering impacts rang out within the Protection Black Mist, and the skeleton soldiers who were struck couldn’t be pieced back together into a complete carcass; they all shattered into palm-sized bone fragnts.
In almost an instant, all the skeleton soldiers were chopped to death, and Sosmia didn’t even have the chance to recall them to his necromantic space.
A milky-white soul rose from the fragnts of the skeleton soldiers, preparing to return to Sosmia’s necromantic space, but it was promptly sucked into the gaping maw of the skeleton lord that had killed it.
“How powerful!” Sosmia didn’t care at all about the loss of a few skeleton soldiers. His eyes flickered with a crimson light as he stared intently at the dozen-plus skeleton lords before him, his face revealing an ecstatic expression.
“Creatures of the underworld, in the na of Hades, the king of the netherworld, I establish an ancient contract with you…” Sosmia muttered under his breath. His desiccated right hand tossed aside the bone wand and his fingertips emitted a wisp of black light as he began crafting a large and intricate magic array before him.
This was the magic array necromancers use to form contracts with undead creatures. Once the array was completed, it could forcibly bind any undead creature into a summoning contract and incorporate them into one’s own necromantic space.
However, necromancers could only make contracts with undead creatures whose strength was not weaker than their own. With regards to these Level 60 Lord BOSSes, the chances of Sosmia successfully forming a contract were at best fifty-fifty.
Seemingly sensing the threat, the dozen skeleton lords turned around, staring at Sosmia and emitting a silent roar at him, a roar that only the soul could perceive, and even more terrifying than the “Banshee’s Wail” ability.
However, the magic staff Sosmia had discarded by the side automatically floated up, positioning itself in front of him. At the sa ti, a transparent screen of light erupted from the staff, firmly protecting Sosmia.
