Chapter 62: Airdrop, it doesn’t have to be a bomb, it can also be a corpse!
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
LV40 Hell Demon Puppet, with dual resistances at 2800 points, its hardness broke through the skies.
The Jackalwolf miniboss had no true damage nor skills to ignore defense, truly at a loss with it.
And the iron palm of the Hell Demon Puppet, swinging left and right, cast a series of palm shadows; amidst the “smack smack smack” of slapping sounds, it slapped those minibosses until they saw stars, nearly concussing them.
The Crossbow Skeletons, lined up behind Zi Liyuan, were naturally not just for show. As the Hell Demon Puppet drew the aggro of dozens of minibosses at once, the sky filled with a rain of arrows, focused fire piercing through.
Strike while the enemy is weak!
A single crossbow bolt could cause 60+ damage. With focused fire, twenty or thirty bolts attacking one target could take down 1200+ health.
These minibosses, stunned by the explosions, typically had about half their health left, around 50K, simply not withstandable against several rounds of concentrated fire.
Moreover, the Hell Demon Puppet wasn’t vegetarian-not to mention its attack power, its gravity field alone reduced their speed by 20%. Combined with a smack, the Delayed Deceleration effect added reduced the Jackalwolf bosses’ speed by 50%!
What were once fast-moving cars turned into slow-moving tractors in an instant; forget about shaking off the forced enmity chain to continue pursuing Zi Liyuan- with this speed, they probably couldn’t even catch up to the trash skeletons.
Dozens of minibosses died a stifled death on the road of no return in the pursuit.
Cleaning up the battlefield was a massive task with hundreds of pieces of equipment and thousands of materials, and Zi Liyuan didn’t overlook the corpses of the Jackalwolf warriors, those small bosses either.
Having reached Second Order, the Necromancer skill tree, except for the three ultimate skills of each specialization, had all been unlocked.
And the essential clearing skill for Necromancers—Corpse Explosion Technique-he had already leveled it up to LV9. The explosion radius extended to 10 meters, causing physical damage equal to 60% of the corpse’s total predeath health.
The only regret for Zi Liyuan was that levelling up Corpse Explosion Technique only increased the blast radius and not the power of the explosion, which remained a fixed 60% of the corpse’s total health.
With the Jackalwolf miniboss’s 100K total health, one Corpse Explosion Technique could deal 60K physical damage-a genuine crowd-clearing divine skill! 5
The only issue was the high spiritual energy cost, a fixed 1000 points per use. With Zi Liyuan’s current spiritual energy of just over 30K, he could only set off about 30 explosions before running out of energy.
Luckily, Zi Liyuan’s Spatial Backpack had many compartments. From the start of the instance to now, he had already collected nearly a hundred corpses of the Jackalwolf minibosses.
Zi Liyuan cleaned up the battlefield while checking the gains from this battle.
“By exterminating the Jackalwolves on one section of the wall, this wave only brought in about 1.5 million experience. The experience has decreased, are they trying to make up for it with quantity? ”
After ending all the Jackalwolves on that section of the wall, there was no support from any other direction, which Zi Liyuan found odd.
Either there were no combatant Jackalwolves left in the city, or they were being forcefully suppressed by a certain presence, unable to provide support.
But Jackalwolves, barring the old, weak, and young, were basically all warriors, so it was impossible for none to be there.
And the Vulture Skeletons released for reconnaissance finally brought important information to Zi Liyuan.
In the center of the city, a huge square was currently amassing a vast number of Jackalwolf troops.
And leading these Jackalwolves was a figure of unusual height and girth.
“The problem is really big, seems like they plan to gather all the Jackalwolves in the city to try and kill me in one fell swoop.”
Clearly, the one who could command the Jackalwolves in this city had to be a hero BOSS without a doubt, fearing that he would summon the Skeleton Army and gradually wear down the Jackalwolves. That’s why they were assembling all the Jackalwolves, wanting to finish everything in one go.
However, this BOSS’S level of intelligence and autonomy is too high.
Nice idea, but do they really think I’m just a summoning tool?”
Looking down at the hellish marionette he was riding, Zi Liyuan didn’t take a trivial Second Order instance’s LV60 hero BOSS seriously.
Even if he was facing two to three thousand Jackalwolves at once, the pressure was a bit much, after all, once they swarmed over, a single hellish marionette couldn’ t possibly intercept them all.
But it was just a bit of pressure, after all, with the Necromancer’s Corpse Explosion Technique, as long as there were suitable corpses, he really wasn’t afraid of being mobbed.
And right now, Zi Liyuan was not lacking suitable corpses at all. In his Spatial Backpack, he had collected corpses of nearly a hundred Jackalwolf rare small BOSSes.
“Strike first to gain the upper hand, lag behind and suffer the consequences.
It’s rare to gather all the Jackalwolves in the city together, might as well send them flying in one wave.”
Zi Liyuan immediately dispersed his Crossbow Skeleton Army back to the Netherworld and summoned 256 Vulture Skeletons straight after.
Then he threw out a bunch of Jackalwolf small BOSS corpses; four Vulture Skeletons each grabbed a limb of a Jackalwolf corpse, lifting it into the air, and then flew toward the city center plaza.
With 348 points in Spirit, Zi Liyuan could use the Corpse Explosion Technique skill on marked corpses up to 348 meters away.
Riding on the hellish marionette, safety was absolutely guaranteed; after all, a gravity field alone could reduce the speed of approaching monsters by 20%. Catching up to the hellish marionette was not so easy.
With the Vulture Skeletons leading the way, and riding the hellish marionette, Zi Liyuan quickly approached the central plaza. At this moment, the Vulture ’ Skeleton group, carrying a total of 64 Jackalwolf small BOSS corpses, initiated another dive-bombing suicide attack.
The 64 Jackalwolf small BOSS corpses essentially fell into the Jackalwolf crowd at intervals of about twenty meters.
Zi Liyuan didn’t wait for the Jackalwolves to react, he started to detonate each body with the Corpse Explosion Technique. At the same time, he took out the Spiritual Energy potion he hadn’t used for a long time and began chugging it down.
One after another, bodies swelled up like inflatable dolls after the skill was activated, swelling several times over in an instant, then violently burst apart, splattering blood, flesh, and bones everywhere.
The Jackalwolves within ten meters of the corpses suddenly suffered a terrifying attack from the deathly aura and were called to death the next moment, losing consciousness instantly, becoming blood-spattered, flesh- covered corpses on the ground.
The explosion sounds of “boom boom” came sixty-four times in succession. Above the plaza, 64 ten-meter-wide craters appeared, and the Jackalwolves that had been standing above these craters all turned into corpses, died peacefully, having not suffered any pain before passing away.
The previously flat plaza had completely changed, becoming pitted and uneven.
The Jackalwolves that had been crowded together, except for the BOSS, all small monsters fell to the ground, lifeless.
Meanwhile, system notification sounds once again crazily pinged in Zi Liyuan’s ear.
This wave of Corpse Explosion Technique had harvested all the Jackalwolf minions in the city, clean and tidy.
And now, in the shattered plaza, only over two hundred rare-grade Jackalwolf warrior BOSSes and two Jackalwolf hero BOSSes remained.
