Chapter 93: Death Fog and Clearing the Field
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Stealing a glance at Zi Liyuan, Shen Yurou slipped past the gap left by the Shield Combat Skeletons and squeezed through.
In just a few seconds, she had put a distance of tens of meters between them and, while moving at high speed, her sniper rifle rhythmically barked, the bullets hitting the same spot on the Spider Monster’s legs without fail.
To replenish the Shield Combat Skeletons’ losses, she summoned dozens of Vulture Skeletons, strapped bombs onto them, and played a round of ‘death bombing chickens’, targeting Lao Tie specifically to prevent him from focusing on commanding in the boss fight.
At the same time, Zi Liyuan multitasked, his consciousness continuously selecting corpses from his Spatial Backpack, pulling out the smaller Lord Boss corpses and calculating the damage they could inflict.
He quietly summoned more than a dozen Skeleton Behemoths, stuffed the Boss corpses into their chest cavities to make skeleton bombs, ready to rush out at a critical moment and deliver a deadly package to the group of Bosses.
Amidst the dense Skeleton Sea, a few Skeleton Behemoths lay on the ground, inconspicuous, even if these behemoths were accidentally destroyed, it wouldn’t matter since the Boss corpses would remain on the ground.
Zi Liyuan had already calculated the distance and the positions where the Skeleton Behemoths were located, which were basically on the critical paths that the Lord Bosses had to take.
Just as he had finished preparing, several Lord Bosses used their spells on him at the same time!
Blood-red spears, red fireballs, black shadow arrows… over a dozen different spells covered him.
The moment these bosses entered the attack range, they were targeted by Number Seven for a round of precision spell attacks.
Three layers of tall bone walls, rising from the ground every ten meters, stood in the way of these spells.
At the same time, a Bone Prison broke through the ground’s limitations and securely protected Zi Liyuan in its center, cutting off any outside view.
But that was not all, a black-grey fog formed from the essences of death materialized rapidly, turning into a vast foggy area that enveloped a 350-meter radius around Number Seven, obscuring the vision of everything except the undead within its range!
The Lv9 “Death Fog” ability could summon a fog made of essences of death, with the coverage of the fog equal to the Spirit’s strength (in meters), blocking the vision of living beings (undead not affected), enhancing the damage of undead within the fog by +9, with a duration of 9 minutes, and a cooldown time of 10 minutes. It’s an exclusive skill for death-related professions.
Since learning this skill, Zi Liyuan had hardly used it, though such a battlefield strategy skill could play an unimaginable role in a fight, like at this moment!
The loss of vision caused the Bosses to be disoriented and also lost the opportunity to continue targeting Zi Liyuan for their attacks.
After losing his vision, Number Seven was also unable to command the Bosses precisely, execute decapitation tactics, and lost the ability to read the battlefield situation.
This instant change in the battle was all under Zi Liyuan’s control, and what followed was his killer move!
Four Vulture Skeletons, holding the corpse of a hero Boss with a total HP of 500,000, soared into the sky and plunged into the Death Fog, heading precisely for target Number Seven.
With the Eyes of Death, Zi Liyuan’s vision was unaffected, allowing him to see any detail within his Spirit’s coverage area with precision.
The moment the Boss corpse got close to Number Seven, Zi Liyuan released the Corpse Explosion Technique.
Before the corpse even hit the ground, it expanded and exploded in mid-air, a massive burst of the Power of Death ravaging the area for ten meters around.
The nearby seven or eight Lord Bosses simultaneously showed damage values of over 300,000 above their heads, but Lao Tie, the one Zi Liyuan most wanted to kill, remained unscathed!
“Damn it! Corpse Explosion Technique really isn’t almighty, there were BOSSes that could resist it before, and now it’s the professionals. I must figure out how this is happening!”
He had kindly and laboriously helped a crowd of BOSSes gather their remains; wouldn’t that be a total waste if the Corpse Explosion Technique was unusable?
The death BOSSes: Thanks for collecting our corpses before blasting us into nonexistence, really appreciate it, haha!
Utterly puzzled about how the opponent managed it, Zi Liyuan could only temporarily set aside the unease in his heart and start cleaning up the numerous Lord BOSSes that continued to approach him.
With the vision obscured by the “Death Fog”, several more bodies were transported over by skeletons.
When he saw that enough BOSSes had gathered, the Corpse Explosion Technique started to set off fireworks again.
The thunderous explosions continued without end, and swathes of BOSSes, under the massive onslaught of the Power of Death, fell to the ground one after another, turning into corpses. Numerous orbs of light burst out, covering their bodies.
After thirty consecutive explosions, having nearly squandered all his spiritual energy, Zi Liyuan had no choice but to stop the continued detonations.
At this point, of the more than a hundred Lord BOSSes on the field, only a few could still stand. Moreover, these few had only sustained damage from one or two Corpse Explosions and basically retained nearly half of their health.
“It seems that not all BOSSes can withstand the damage from the Corpse Explosion Technique, hmph, I’ll take care of this one first!”
A Shadow Arrow of death, carrying a gloomy light, pierced through the “Death Fog,” passed through the gaps between BOSSes, and stabbed precisely into the chest of a canine fiend, erupting with a huge force of shadow, destroying the target.
A damage value of “-26385″ floated above the seventh’s head, and a massive hole was torn open in his chest.
That wasn’t all; a grey-white Bone Spear, with a whistling sound, rushed towards him. This time it accurately pierced through the canine fiend’s forehead.
The Bone Spear, as thick as a fist, penetrated from the forehead, drilled out from the back of the head, and sent the entire skull flying.
A damage value of ” -137,50″ flew out, and the seventh fell to the ground stiffly; his body seemed to lose some kind of power and instantly crumbled into countless pieces.
“Tsk, and here I thought you could take it. Just two spells and you couldn’t bear it.”
Casually dissipating the shadow energy gathered in his hand, Zi Liyuan turned his attention to the remaining five First Order Lord BOSSes.
“If the Corpse Explosion Technique can’t kill you, then taste the grinding misery of the Skeleton Sea!”
Having dispersed the vast majority of skeleton soldiers, a huge summoning array appeared once more. Skeleton Knights, stepping in unison, appeared one after another and charged fiercely at the remaining five BOSSes, besieging them.
He took out a potion that restored spiritual energy and gulped it down; Zi Liyuan stepped out of the Bone Prison that had been blown open and, accompanied by a dozen Shield Combat Skeletons, walked towards the location where the BOSSes lay defeated.
Although the battle was not over yet, he decided it was best to begin cleaning up the battlefield promptly, to avoid unnecessary trouble.
As for the Spider Monster and Lao Tie’s loving relationship, and the abnormal triangular relationship involving Shen Yurou, it could be ignored for now. After all, wasn’t it Lao Tie who currently had the upper hand, hammering down on the Spider Monster?
