Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?
Chapter 1604 - 972: Corpses Are Also ResourcesThis is the battlefield tactic summarized from the experience brought by necromancers in previous battles.
Quickly create a large number of corpses to initiate the Corpse Explosion Technique, then detonate those corpses to form an endless cycle of explosions!
On a battlefield crowded with countless enemies, the Corpse Explosion Technique is the most suitable tactical choice!
"Boom boom boom——"
The sound of explosions caused the rock walls of the underground cavern to crack. Loose stones fell from above, convincing anyone that a collapse might occur any second now.
"No wonder they say necromancers are the troublesome factor on the battlefield." Even Leon and the others, hiding far away, were affected by the explosion, but they couldn’t go down yet, or they’d suffer a miserable death if caught in it.
Every necromancer is casting spells while chugging large amounts of Magic Potion, but even so, the depletion rate from using the Corpse Explosion Technique is astonishing. The replenishment of magic power is barely keeping pace with the consumption.
Everyone has a face twisted with discomfort, like they are constipated.
The Corpse Explosion Technique, as the name suggests, involves detonating corpses. The more magic power remains in the corpse, the stronger the explosion. Hence, fresh corpses explode with much greater force than decayed, shriveled ones lacking magic power. Additionally, if the corpse was killed by a spellcaster, the explosion power can increase further.
However, this also means that the required magic power consumption will increase accordingly.
The entire underground cavern is now filled with explosions; it’s practically a work of art!
This move is very effective. From Leon and the others’ elevated perspective looking down, Tomb King Nite’s skeleton army is rapidly disappearing, with each instance of the Corpse Explosion Technique causing increasingly extensive explosions.
Little Vonier has spread black mud at the skeleton army’s feet, and the explosions send the sticky black mud flying everywhere. As soon as the skeletons are splashed, black holes corrode into them rapidly, sometimes even killing them instantly with luck.
Nowadays, the Corpse Explosion Technique can evolve to this scale thanks to the effects of this Abyss-mimicking black mud.
"Well done!" Maru cheered a bit.
"Don’t celebrate too soon." Drew shook his head, "Tomb King Nite won’t be defeated that easily."
The necromancers, including Tai Fengli’an, are all desperately injecting vitality into the Corpse Explosion Technique, even as the excessive depletion of magic power is causing their bodies to wither. They refuse to stop, fighting as if against a sworn enemy.
This is because they know that the opportunity is only now.
At this moment, when the endless sound of explosions has become a battlefield norm.
Alien skeletons not killed by the blasts burst through the explosive shocks, roaring as they charge toward the necromancers!
Little Vonier slaps a few to death, but a large group follows closely behind, leaving it unclear how many skeletons are really here, only feeling an endless stream.
"Tsk, I’ll handle this side!"
Some necromancers helplessly abandon the control of the Corpse Explosion Technique and instead confront the skeletons attacking them.
Undead creatures summoned by them showcase their unique abilities, with venomous snakes spraying strong corrosive acids to melt the enemies, vengeful spirits possessing giant skeletons to control them, and abominations hurling exposed organs as bombs...
Truth be told, undead creatures are more effective in direct combat than when used for the Corpse Explosion Technique, but the current situation demands wide-area attacks.
Necromancers are trying hard to preserve their magic, but no matter how hard they try, their forces are inevitably affected when they detonate.
Especially since... skeletons are not entirely unintelligent.
These pale skeletons have come to understand, taking various measures against the Corpse Explosion Technique!
Distancing themselves from companions, hiding behind stronger skeletons, burrowing back underground...
These actions continue to reduce the explosion impact, and the endless explosions are about to be interrupted.
"Is it over? But this outcome is still acceptable." The necromancers survey the battlefield; today seems to be their lucky day, as the Corpse Explosion Technique’s destructive power is far better than previous attempts!
It is just at this moment that the figure most to be wary of, Tomb King Nite, moves.
With the arm he has free, he slowly waves it forward, immediately causing thin mist to spread toward the adventurers’ direction, almost instantly reaching them.
"Defend!"
Hades’ crystals left on each person instantly expand into individual crystal balls, securely enveloping each person and ensuring they withstand the corrosion of the Death Miasma.
As for the undead creatures, there’s no time, but fortunately, the Death Miasma’s effect is greatly diminished or even nullified on them.
As the Death Miasma approaches, the necromancers breathe a sigh of relief, feeling absolutely safe inside the crystal balls.
"Something’s wrong; this doesn’t feel like Death Miasma!" someone suddenly exclaimed.
The necromancers are suddenly aware that the undead creatures enveloped by the thin mist show no signs of being corroded. Isn’t this completely harmless?!
