Chapter 76 - 76, Deceased Mage (Don’t forget the recommendation tickets.) 1
Elemental Guard (Air)
[Category: Skills](With no elemental physique, this skill cannot be learned.)
[Ability: Summons two Air Elemental Attendants to fight in tandem for a duration of 30 minutes.]
(Description: War is never fought alone. Use the natural energy around you, summon attendants to launch attacks on the enemy.)
This was Fang Hao’s second summoning skill.
The first one summoned Wood Attendants, this time it is Air Attendants.
He wonders whether all of them can be summoned at the same time.
He secured all the loot.
Fang Hao turned to Bolton again, “Bolton, wait for us here.”
“As you command, sir.” Bolton immediately responded.
He didn’t want to enter into the ruins, and now that Fang Hao asked him to
stay behind, he felt a sense of relief.
Of course, Fang Hao has his own motives.
He himself has secrets he doesn’t want others to know, and Bolton wasn’t
exactly helpful moving forward either.
Better to have him wait here, making both parties feel more at ease.
“Okay, let’s continue to move forward.”
Fang Hao waved his hand, and the skeleton army marched on in unison, stepping towards the ruined city.
Traveling along the mud-covered road, they crossed the desolate city gate and entered the city.
The city was in ruins, with the remaining towering stone walls teetering, and
the eye could only see debris and rotten beams.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Hao has the feeling that the city has been bombed.
Whoosh!!
Just then, a fireball flies in from a distance.
Bang!!
The fireball hit a skeleton, the explosion flung its body into the air. Its metal armor was dented, leaving black burn marks behind.
Fang Hao got startled, and immediately looked in the direction of the attack.
There can be seen elemental creatures engulfed with flames roaming in abundance amidst the rubble in the distance.
Fire Elemental (Tier 6)
(Description: Aggressive fire elementals, born from the fury of elemental magic, if you anger them, be prepared to endure a scorching inferno!) Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
More and more fire elementals emerge, occupying the entire city.
One after another, searing fireballs flew towards the skeleton army.
“Kill!!”
Fang Hao coldly ordered, and the entire skeleton army immediately fanned out, attacking the continually appearing fire elementals.
Fang Hao himself also drew his iron sword.
After dodging a rapidly shot fireball, he charged directly at the fire elemental.
Approaching, he immediately unleashed a shield strike.
The iron-wrapped shield directly struck the fire elemental on its head.
Flames fluttered from the elemental’s body, but it didn’t seem to be stunned.
Fang Hao dodged the elemental’s counterattack by lowering his head, and swiftly swung his sword twice in succession.
Two sword marks appeared on the fiery body.
Simultaneously, the skeletons by Fang Hao’s side continuously wielded their weapons, inflicting persistent damage on the fire elemental.
Boom!
Another fireball flies.
Fang Hao immediately raised his shield to block. The fireball hit the shield, its immense force caused him to stumble back a few steps before regaining his balance.
He quickly moved forward, continuing to engage with the fire elemental in
front of him.
Having understood the attack method of the fire elemental, a cold laugh flashed in Fang Hao’s heart, thinking it was no big deal…
The second he thought that…
Fang Hao suddenly discovered a ring of fire suddenly appeared beneath his
feet.
Just as he wanted to move…
From the center of the ring, a pillar of flame surged upward, swallowing him
and other two skeleton soldiers.
Fang Hao sat up on the bed.
Taking a look at his surroundings, he confirmed that the skeleton he had been controlling is deceased.
Taking a deep breath, he immediately re-initiated the God’s Presence ritual.
Once again possessing the body of a skeleton soldier, he rejoined the battlefield.
The recent ring of fire was apparently a fire elemental’s ability.
Occasionally appearing, it burned the only tier 1 skeleton soldiers directly into ashes.
However, this circle of fire ability didn’t inflict as much damage to the skeleton trolls.
On the contrary, these trolls, adept at fighting, made the enemy constantly retreat.
Bang!!
With a single stroke of his sword, Fang Hao completely annihilated the fire elemental before him.
The rest of the battles were also gradually coming to an end.
With the numerical advantage of the skeleton army, and the existence of a fifth-tier skeleton troll, several hundred fire elementals were quickly annihilated.
Fang Hao was just about to give the order to clear the battlefield.
Swoosh!
A magic arrow engulfed in flames was aimed directly at him.
Bang!
Fang Hao instinctively raised his shield, blocking the fireball. The magic arrow shattered before him, turning into scattered sparks.
Suddenly looking to the side, he saw a mummified corpse wrapped in tattered robes, quietly chanting a spell.
[Restless Mage (Tier 7)]
(Description: Natural Mages are the world’s top scholars. Their spiritual power, far exceeding that of ordinary people, prevents them from resting even in death, their fragmented souls trapped in their bodies, wandering aimlessly.) This long-dead mage hadn’t undergone a professional or traditional mummification process.
With every movement, dried and wrinkled skin fell off his face like sand.
The state of decay of his body was hindering his movements.
Despite his powerful magic power or ability to delay body decomposition, in a few decades, this body would be completely decayed.
Seeing him chant another spell, Fang Hao immediately ordered, “Quick, kill him.”
These deceased mages were merely undead.
Who knew what major attack the next spell might incite.
The closest skeleton soldiers charged towards the undead mage.
It seemed the mage had sensed this, his chanting faltered slightly and he promptly summoned four fire elemental souls in an attempt to block the advancing skeleton soldiers.
But the four fire elementals weren’t nearly enough to oppose the numerous skeleton army.
Within moments of coming into contact, before they could unleash a simple Fireball,
they were either killed by a flurry of swords or chopped by a chaotic axe.
The undead mage, upon seeing the abrupt annihilation of his summoned souls, began to retreat while ceasing his spell chants.
“Kill him,” Fang Hao urged once more.
There could be a potential danger here.
The skeleton soldiers lunged towards the retreating undead mage.
Apparently, both the close-combat ability and defense of this mage weren’t too high.
Each iron sword stabbed into his body, completely killing him.
When the already decaying body was violently filled with sharp swords, it ‘Bang’ burst into a cloud of dust and decayed particles, not even leaving a corpse behind.
“Damn it! Where’s the corpse?” Fang Hao cursed.
I just wanted your bodies, dying without leaving a corpse behind, isn’t that a bit too much.
With a sigh, he gave another order, “Search for the loot; avoid approaching the building up ahead.”
While there seemed to be no immediate danger, a reasonably intact stone tower up ahead gave Fang Hao a feeling of unease.
Sure enough, the loot was quickly scavenged.
The slain fire elementals had dropped some materials.
[Violent Marks 3) [Red Flame Essence 12).
Besides these, there was also a silver treasure chest.
He opened the chest directly.
[Obtained: Fire Arrow Skill Scroll, Beast Taming Contract (Green), Tailor Shop Blueprint, Warfire Coins+72.]
A skill scroll should be quite valuable.
Every time a skill scroll appeared, it would automatically raise the level of the loot chest..
