Chapter 1601: 971: Campaign Against the Tomb King (2)

The others also arrived beside the Tomb King Nite at this moment, all wielding long-handled weapons like warhammers and long rods, all in line with the characteristics of "blunt impact" + "long handle."They seized the moment before the Spiritual Fire’s breath faded to unleash their violence upon Tomb King Nite.

In an instant, the leg bones of the Tomb King Nite suffered countless attacks, and cracks of various sizes appeared on the bone surface.

But he stood like an iron tower, unmoved, giving the adventurers no sense of impact!

According to the Revive Association’s research, the most troublesome aspect of the Tomb King Nite is his defense capability.

That cloak of death miasma he wears provides powerful magical defense; when concentrated at a single point, it can render any form of magical attack ineffective, and it also has diminishing efficacy on physical attacks.

This is a protective shield specifically designed to block magic!

More incredible still, according to repeated attacks, magical attacks, especially those involving Holy Light and holy attributes, have noticeable effects on Tomb King Nite, whereas physical attacks, even blunt ones usually effective against regular skull demons, have minimal impact, and weapons like longswords and broadswords are even worse.

This protective shield formed by death miasma conveniently compensates for Tomb King Nite’s weaknesses!

Moreover, the genuinely aggressive death miasma still poses a threat to adventurers, even as they launch battles with regular-effect physical attacks, they would suffer attacks from the miasma.

If not for the Spiritual Fire’s breath drawing away most of the death miasma at this moment, Leon and the others would have had no chance for a close-range attack.

Tomb King Nite, who moves slowly like a sedentary shut-in, has his cloak moving with extraordinary speed.

It’s practically a perfect assistant.

These flowing miasma shields adjust their thickness in response to impending attacks; facing the flexible breath emitted by Little Vonier, a majority of the miasma is allocated for defense.

And this is exactly what the adventurers can exploit.

By using Little Vonier’s attack to attract the majority of the miasma, others can take the opportunity to launch attacks.

Hades even forsook the Crystal Magic he was more adept in, opting to attack with a giant Broom Star instead, whose power attracted another significant portion of the remaining miasma, making the miasma shield others face much less, increasing the damage inflicted!

However, one thing must be noted, which is that other attacks, especially magical attacks, must absolutely not surpass the power of the Broom Star.

Otherwise, they would be weakened by the congregating death miasma to a level even less than a single Luminous Stone Magic Gravel.

"To defeat Tomb King Nite, one must rely on high-quantity, average-power attacks."

Much like how human death is often caused by accumulations over years, the strategy Leon and the others devised truly aligns with the essence of death.

Just then, ground tremors peaked, and everyone retreated in sync, moving away from Tomb King Nite.

Little Vonier also ceased his breath, his body sagging from fatigue, while Tai Fengli’an, casting magic to restore his stamina, carefully assessed the damage inflicted on the enemy in that short span of time.

The lower skeleton of Tomb King Nite was covered in massive cracks, resulting from numerous assaults, with everyone using holy attribute enchantments, leaving burned marks over the once pallid bones.

It seemed like a serious injury, yet Tomb King Nite’s actions were seemingly unhindered, as if he cared little for this level of attack.

Perhaps the actual harm caused to him was much smaller than it appeared; this guy is indeed hard!

"Great, an unprecedented achievement!"

Tai Fengli’an smiled, as inflicting such damage on the enemy right from the outset was quite commendable!

"But unfortunately, it’ll be tough to find such an excellent opportunity again in the near future."

Because Tomb King Nite’s enormous army emerged.

The largest battle terrain adventurers had seen was the Crystal Cave of the White Dragon Heiss, but the area of the battlefield with Tomb King Nite was multiple times larger, enough for several dragons to brawl here.

Such a vast area was naturally intended to accommodate Tomb King Nite’s army of the dead.

"Puh! Pu-pu-puh——"

One after another, alien white bones broke through the ground, and in an instant, the entire land was covered with countless white bones, filling up most of the subterranean caverns with skeletons of various shapes!

Looking out, it was a dense mass of skull demons!

Some seen in the Giant Tomb, some not, but now they all obeyed Tomb King Nite, aligning their hollow eye sockets toward everyone.

This is nothing short of an undead catastrophe!

"The toughest battle is coming."

The necromancers took a deep breath; faced with the current situation, they had to take to the field.

A sea of tactics must confront a sea of tactics!

Leon and others had retreated far by then, their speed greatly increased thanks to their level upgrade.

They vacated the battlefield for the necromancers.

"Show our faith!"

Tai Fengli’an shouted, and the necromancers simultaneously executed summoning magic with a synchronization rate of one hundred percent.

Next up, beside them, countless small magic arrays lit up on the ground, each magic array elevating an undead creature.

Unlike the purely skeletal army of Tomb King Nite, the undead creatures controlled by the necromancers were richer in variety, looking also...

No, indeed Tomb King Nite’s side seemed more imposing.

The number of skeletons is several times that of the undead creatures from the necromancers, forming a numerical crush!

Even in terms of quality, the common skeletons within the skeletal army are almost comparable to the values of the Balder Knights, showcasing both quality and quantity!

In any way you look at it, this was a one-sided crushing scenario.

Yet, this time, the gap was actually not as vast.

In previous conquests, necromancers, in a bid to conserve energy, summoned fewer undead creatures than now, and even in such conditions, they managed to hold their ground, let alone now.

"Aw aw ah!"

The rejuvenated Little Vonier let out a thunderous roar, the black sludge beneath him suddenly spreading in all directions, in the blink of an eye enveloping hundreds of undead creatures around, continuing to expand outward.

"Charge!"

This shout heralded the start of the war.

Both sides’ steps shook the heavens and moved the earth, the entire underground cavern violently shook, undead creatures and the skeletal army instantly clashed, the vanguard turning to dust immediately.

Combat crashes sounded everywhere, not a single quiet place, the entire subterranean cavern shrouded in dense killing intent.

"Quite a spectacular scene." Even Hades couldn’t help but comment, now having crafted a crystal platform, harboring everyone atop it.

The present situation rendered them unnecessary since the necromancers had their own strategies.

Zwei fists were no match for four hands; in the clash of numbers and quality, undead creatures found themselves at a disadvantage, rapidly swallowed up.

But in the next moment.

"Boom!"

A huge roar emerged, a vast explosion erupted within the skeletal army!

It was the Corpse Explosion Technique!

"Power exceedingly surpasses usual Corpse Explosion Technique," Hades quickly noticed the difference.

These undead creatures almost all possessed splitting traits; after death, split into smaller, more numerous undead, infiltrating the skeletal army.

The black sludge on them was highly corrosive; once it reached a skeleton’s skull, it could kill instantly.

Then, detonate these self-crafted corpses!

The Corpse Explosion Technique triggered by Tomb King Nite’s minions had an outstanding power!

"Boom boom boom——"

A continuous wave of explosions sounded!
