Chapter 297: Returning to the Hometown White Crane City in Jiangnan Province

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The Phantom King’s original form was a restless soul, a Second Order undead creature, capable of using the [Lord’s Heart] to evolve into a BOSS template just like a vampire.

However, when it came to the Zombie King, the [Lord’s Heart] was useless and couldn’t bring about evolution.

“As expected, cannon fodder races are just cannon fodder, not even saved by the [Lord’s Heart].”

After casually sending the summoned Zombie BOSS group back to the Netherworld, Lord Zi turned his attention to the rest of the evolved undead BOSSes.

Now that they all followed the Lord BOSS template, their strength had naturally increased a great deal.

“With this kind of strength, there shouldn’t be much problem in storming into the Necro Realm, right?”

He refused to believe that any other practitioner of death-related professions could summon as many Lord BOSSes and Epic BOSSes as he could!

“With the current strength, it’s not about overthrowing the four freaky old men and ladies of the Dragon Academy, but their Fourth Order teachers should be able to be defeated, at least in part, right?”

Lord Zi had never flipped over a teacher from the Dragon Academy, and somehow wasn’t so confident anymore.

The Dragon Academy was a place where geniuses were as common as dogs and prodigies walked everywhere; anyone who could teach there was certainly not weak.

“Death Liches work with the Nightmare Knights, and clash against the Spectral Dragon team!”

The intelligence of the Lord BOSSes was not low; even if suppressed by some rules in Blue Star, they were still far stronger than when suppressed inside an instance.

Moreover, the Death Liches were real Mages with intelligence even higher than many humans.

Such a confrontation was still quite intriguing.

But as soon as the battle began, Zi Liyuan was at a loss for words.

A group of Spectral Dragons, under the command of the Spectral Dragon King, did not hesitate to ascend and summoned Replicas, forming an attack pattern in a systematic manner.

What was even more dumbfounding for Lord Zi was that the original forms of the Spectral Dragons just flew in the air, stubbornly refusing to land and staying beyond the range of the Death Liches’ magical attacks.

This was a sign of taking the tactics of outlasting an enemy to new heights!

Faced with the assault of over three hundred Spectral Dragons, the two hundred Death Liches immediately constructed a massive protective barrier. While resisting, they also added various support spells to the Nightmare Knights.

The Nightmare Knights in turn summoned their Replicas, forming battle formations of 120 units, which, bolstered by the Death Liches’ spells, charged fearlessly into the sky.

The Spectral Dragons diving at high speed collided head-on in midair with the Knights riding their Nightmare Skeletal Horses.

Knights were dismounted and bones shattered alongside falling dragons.

Since Replicas couldn’t use the abilities of the originals, they had to rely solely on their physical prowess in combat.

Thus, in this head-on collision, the Spectral Dragon legion directly overpowered the group of Nightmare Knights.

Being Fourth Order undead, even those at the bottom of this tier couldn’t be contested by pseudo Fourth Order undead.

Of course, if they matched up one-on-one with their original entities, the situation would be quite unpredictable.

The Nightmare Knights perfectly inherited the talent abilities of their Dark Knight predecessors, and their skills were enhanced, evolved versions.

Their passive damage-doubling ability became even more powerful, capable of delivering four times the critical hit effect.

The Mirror Ghost Dragon, though holding an advantage in size and with stronger attacks and defenses than the Nightmare Knights, would face an uncertain outcome in a real, close-quarters duel.

After all, undead creatures are basically unaffected by the Aging Curse, which is tantamount to directly nullifying the Spectral Dragon’s strongest technique.

With one side’s strength increased several-fold and the other’s strongest technique ineffective, it’s clear that a real fight between them would be unpredictable.

However, this confrontation wasn’t just between the Nightmare Knights and the Spectral Dragons.

The Death Liches did not just stand by, having initially combined their powers to construct a protective barrier and boosting the Nightmare Knights with buffs;

Two hundred Death Liches had a very clear division of labor.

Fifty maintained the protective barrier, continuously infusing the Power of Death to mend it.

Fifty looked after the Nightmare Knights, helping them maintain peak condition while casting spells to weaken the power of the Spectral Dragons.

The remaining hundred joined together in another spell, amassing a huge amount of the Power of Death to conjure a death energy storm, which they unabashedly hurled towards the Spectral Dragon King in the air.

The principle of capturing the leader first was something the Death Liches understood well.

Bone Dragons had low intelligence and mostly relied on combat instincts. Their battle wisdom was improved after evolving into Spectral Dragons, but it was still limited.

However, after evolving into the Epic Boss Spectral Dragon King, it was different, nearly awakening most of the memories from before death.

A Spectral Dragon King of this kind was nearly comparable to a true Giant Dragon King and, in some aspects, even had advantages.

For example, they did not fear death!

As long as the body wasn’t shattered into dust, re-summoning would allow rapid recovery with just a large provision of the Power of Death.

Hence, if the Spectral Dragon King resorted to a strategy of trading injury for injury, even a true Giant Dragon King would be troubled.

The death energy storm had a wide reach; even though the Spectral Dragons stayed out of the Death Liches’ firing range, they still couldn’t escape being affected.

But Spectral Dragons had an extremely high resistance to death energy, and withstood the death energy storm with only minimal damage.

However, the death energy storm was just the beginning. Under the combined spell casting of a hundred Death Liches, a variety of high-impact death magic spells emerged one after another.

For example, Clouds of Death, Rain of Darkness, Hellfire Summoning, Touch of Death…

A variety of necromantic spells greatly broadened Zi Liyuan’s horizons.
