Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Chapter 179: Chapter 177: Abyssal Monster – Shadow Spike Demon (Rare BOSS)

Fortunately, with over a thousand Skeleton Warriors serving as cannon fodder to block the way, the momentum of the monster wave was eventually exhausted.

Seeing the pace of the monster tide slow down, Zi Liyuan didn’t even have to command, the Shadow Skeleton Mages collectively cast the “Death Decrepit” skill.

Two thousand Death Decrepit spells covered the battlefield, with an aura of death crisscrossing in grim, awe-inspiring splendor, making onlookers’ scalps tingle.

Countless blood-red numbers swarmed above the monsters’ heads, and the dense damage figures were dazzling to the eye.

The Skeleton Army stood firm like a rock amid raging waves, weathered on the surface by relentless battering, yet ultimately withstood the torrential onslaught without collapse.

The other teams, suddenly struck by the monster wave, swiftly erected a solid shield wall.

After being pushed back several meters by the monster tide, the shields finally withstood the rush of the beasts and held the first line of defense.

Then it was time for the damage dealing classes to shine.

Arrows rained down from the Hunters, while Mages unleashed Meteor Showers and Blizzards…

One area of effect (AOE) spell after another landed on the monster hordes, also raising countless crimson damage numbers.

It could be said that facing the monster tide, if the initial onslaught is withstood, the remaining challenge is simply whether the damage output is sufficient, whether the healers have enough healing power, and whether the tanks have enough health.

For Zi Liyuan, the monster wave was just a minor scene.

Having run dungeons so many times, especially the recent “Rampage of Exotic Beasts” dungeon, when hasn’t he faced a sky-covering monster wave?

The firepower of two thousand Shadow Skeleton Mages, along with a cannon fodder army of 20,000 Skeleton Warriors to drag.

To think of killing him with a monster wave was pure fantasy.

If Skeleton Cannon Fodder died, its corpse would burst open, and then another Skeleton Warrior would rise.

What’s most abundant on the battlefield? Certainly the crisscrossing corpses!

The only limit to the number of Skeleton Cannon Fodder Groups was the resurrection cap of the Shadow Skeleton Mages; they can only resurrect ten Skeleton Warriors each, otherwise, raising an army of a million skeletons was merely a matter of time.

Wang Fatty, once eager to try, hiding behind the resilient Skeleton Cannon Fodder Group, immediately wilted.

With so many skeletons, there was simply no room for him to intervene. So just by following Zi, all he needed to do was to lie flat and slack off?

As for Shen Yurou and No. 2, they too were somewhat shocked at the moment.

The two had witnessed Zi Liyuan’s abilities in the martial trials dungeon but hadn’t expected that in just a short twenty-something days, he’d grown so much stronger.

Previously, he could only summon a little over a thousand skeletons, but now he had directly assembled an army of 20,000 skeletons, which was outrageous.

Not to mention the appearance of Epic and Legendary Bosses.

So, the two who were originally prepared to assist also extinguished the thought of helping; with Zi Liyuan alone, this monster wave was not a challenge.

Zi Liyuan’s reason for not summoning the Zombie Boss army was partly to keep a trump card up his sleeve for a critical moment when he could strike unexpectedly for a great effect.

Another reason was the infectious nature of zombies; Zi Liyuan’s Zombie Boss army, with only a hundred in number, couldn’t control the endless swarms of lesser zombies.

In the “Rampage of Exotic Beasts” dungeon, he had experimented, and a rare Zombie Boss could, at most, control four hundred lesser zombies.

If the number was exceeded, additional zombies would prioritize attacking any nearby living creatures, and if there were none, they would turn on other undead beings or even start infighting.

That is to say, the effective control limit of zombies under Zi Liyuan’s Zombie Boss army was only 40,000; any more than that would rebel.

Especially on a large battlefield, the zombies’ trait of infecting corpses could easily lead to a zombie rampage, since there are plenty of corpses amidst the battle.

Moreover, the current minor scene could be completely handled by the Skeleton Army, and besides, weren’t Xiao Yurou, No. 2, and Wang Fatty there too?

Xiao Yurou might still lack the ability to handle high-end forces, but she could sweep through the lesser monsters.

After receiving funds from Zi Liyuan, No. 2 had inscribed numerous Array Plates, including several killing arrays.

Wang Fatty, in control of a 25-member hero Boss team, might be at a considerable level disadvantage compared to the monsters in the abyssal rift, but the attributes conferred by the Boss template made clearing the lesser monsters not too difficult a task.

The peripheral Skeleton Warriors were summoned and died, dying and being summoned in an endless cycle.

The inner circle of Shadow Skeleton Mages, timing their Death Decrepit cooldown, would cast two thousand at a time, decimating groups of enemies without a fuss.

They were always cycling between casting spells and summoning Skeleton Warriors, occasionally tossing a few single-target magic attacks as well.

Lao Tie and the Spider Queen patrolled for any Boss monsters that might be in the monster tide, ready to rush in and finish them off at any moment.

The Demon Spider crouched in front of Zi Liyuan, prepared to act as a meat shield and protect its master from damage at any moment.

Zi Liyuan, Shen Yurou, No. 2, and Wang Fatty chatted casually, even discussing the types of monsters in the monster wave.

Lesser Demon Imps, Inferior Demons, Enchanted Wolves, Enchanted Tree Demons…

The monster wave was diverse, but the main forces were still the Lesser Demon Imps and Inferior Demons, the most common fodder monsters of the abyssal world.
