Chapter 1603: 972: Corpses Are Also Resources (Part 2)

"What kind of technique is this? It’s the first time we’ve seen it—""Boom!"

The necromancer’s words were interrupted by the sudden sound of an explosion, and all they saw was a black, small mushroom cloud suddenly rising within their own ranks.

Wait, explosion?

Where did that come from?

The next second, continuous black mushroom clouds erupted among the undead creatures!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom—"

Even a fool would understand what’s happening now.

"Tomb King Nite is fighting us for the corpses!"

"He knows the Corpse Explosion Technique too!"

This was a technique they had never seen before, and Tomb King Nite’s use of this Corpse Explosion Technique immediately left the necromancers stunned for several seconds. Then they quickly reacted, planning to fight Nite for the chance to explode the corpses.

Corpses are resources, corpses mean explosions, and they must explode them before Tomb King Nite!

However, as the fog spread, Nite’s speed in exploding the corpses was already far beyond theirs.

Additionally, a large number of skeletons survived the explosions and stormed over to disrupt them, forcing the necromancers to turn their attention to dealing with these creatures, making it impossible for them to compete with Tomb King Nite.

In no time, the necromancers found themselves at a disadvantage.

"This kind of technique wasn’t mentioned in the intel!" Tal was taken aback.

Leon and the others wanted to jump in to help, but according to their previous arrangements, it wasn’t their time to act yet.

Hades suddenly jumped down and landed steadily behind the necromancers.

With magic, he whipped up a storm enveloped with crystal shards, and as expected, the fog was blown back by the hurricane!

The flying crystal shards adhered to the skeletons at the forefront, and in the blink of an eye, they spread across the body, instantly immobilizing them in place!

Hades cast spells again, immediately creating several high crystal walls on the battlefield to divide the field and successfully block several explosions from Tomb King Nite.

Once explosions were blocked, the number of resulting corpses decreased, thereby breaking the cycle of the Corpse Explosion Technique.

Just then, the true Death Miasma suddenly attacked, and he tirelessly controlled a crystal ball to shield everyone from the miasma, practically running on fumes.

Once this ordeal ended, even with the capabilities of a Magic Professor, Hades couldn’t help but stagger, clearly temporarily overwhelmed by the successive spellcasting.

"Amazing..."

This series of maneuvers earned admiration from many necromancers, and even Tai Fengli’an nodded his approval.

By now, the opening salvo in the battle against Tomb King Nite had finally concluded.

The booming sounds from the Corpse Explosion Technique gradually faded from the battlefield; Tomb King Nite’s skeleton army had lost a whole third, and the undead creatures’ casualties were even more tragic, utterly unbearable.

However, the necromancers quickly summoned a new batch of undead creatures, and these were evidently stronger and more robust than those appearing first!

"The ones summoned at first were just cannon fodder; these are the real elites."

At this point, though their numbers were still fewer than the skeletons, the necromancers seemed filled with confidence.

As long as the skeletons couldn’t overwhelm them in numbers, the previous efforts would be considered mission accomplished!

The intermittent crystal walls created by Hades divided the battlefield, serving as a buffer that let the undead creatures play defensive games under command, and made it harder for the skeletons to ambush the necromancers from behind.

The state of the war quickly settled into a tense and protracted stalemate, surprisingly matching Tomb King Nite’s temperament.

"Alright, it’s our turn!"

Leon and the others finally acted, leaping down from high above and landing among the skeletons near Tomb King Nite.

The skeletons surrounding Tomb King Nite had greatly diminished, and though those remaining were all elites, they could manage.

For the Strategy Group now, elite monsters were no longer intimidating; they could face multiple elite monsters with a level head.

Prior to acquiring the King’s Soul, handling these skeletons might have been quite challenging, but now, with the King’s Soul, their combat power was incomparable!

Between King’s Soul holders, their combat capabilities were now evenly matched.

Once adventurers acquired a King’s Soul, facing other King’s Soul holders became less daunting, and with more King’s Souls, they even gained an advantage!

"[Prayer Strike]!"

Leon, with an attack entwined in divine law, immediately struck a giant skeleton’s head, knocking it to the ground, and with another blow, shattered it into smithereens; the elite monster vanished in an instant.

Maru and the others worked in harmony to clear out the monsters that might pose a hindrance, creating an empty space beside Tomb King Nite!

But in the next moment, a strong wind packed with terrifying force struck from the side, and Leon quickly blocked it with his weapon; the Morning Star Hammer clashed fiercely with the greatsword swung by Tomb King Nite!

"Boss!"

Maru blinked, and upon reopening his eyes, he saw Leon flying backward, with the Morning Star Hammer in his hand nearly shattered, on the brink of being declared scrap.

Every King’s Soul holder seems to pack an incredible punch!

"Finally, the real fight begins."
