Chapter 65: The Deadly Art of the Deadly Corpse
"Mountain Drive, hurry!" Surprised, Fan Ganglie quickly told his pets to make some stone walls as their protection. The timely move successfully protected the group from flying bone spikes.
By expanding their astral perception on top of the wall, they saw the Magical Corpse Beast somewhat smaller than before. That huge attack had cleared everything within his reach except for a small pile of bones.
"It was a Necro Explosion." Ye Chenshan grimaced. “Only Magical Corpse Beast with outstanding talent can learn this skill.”
“Go for it!” Su Ping summoned the Little Skeleton in a merciless voice.
"The "bone pile" broke and revealed several skeletal warriors inside. In the middle of the group, Little Skeleton stood like a king accompanying his troops, while his body was still shrouded in a sinister dark mist.
Roars!
It was Little Skeleton's Deadly Roar skill. Despite its practical size, the Little Skeleton let out a more deafening cry than thunder. Those who heard the resounding sound felt their blood would freeze.
This skill was not much weaker than the roar of a dragon, and was usually enough to frighten ordinary beings.
The Magical Corpse Corpse Life Corpse was not afraid of this, but its movements were stopped for a moment.
The Little Skeleton and the remaining skeletons rushed to the Magical Corpse Beast once more.
Meanwhile, Fan Ganglie and Lin Mokong woke up from a trance caused by a terrifying look and both told their pets to join the fight.
The two Azure Quetzalcoatl beasts spat out lightning bolts and poison clouds that quickly destroyed the bone structure of the beast.
The Mountain Mover created a crack in the ground just below the beast, still in hopes of trapping him.
Similarly, the Lin Mokong Fire Bird released a ball of burning lava onto the target.
The Six Armed Gorilla uses his weapon to physically destroy what he can expect, while using his "free hand" to defend.
The roarrr!
The Magical Corpse Beast looked weakened after using the Necro Blast. But, as an entity close to the top eight ranks, it could still retaliate by firing more spikes into the sky.
The Fire Bird had one of its wings pierced by a nail and fell from the air. Seeing this, Lin Mokong quickly sent him back to his pet room.
The Azure Quetzalcoatl was fast enough to dodge the spikes, after which it spat out another puddle of poison into the Magical Corpse Beast which further damaged its skin.
Thanks to Fan Ganglie's precision control, the Azure Quetzalcoatl and its shadow quickly removed the entire outermost shell of the beast.
Meanwhile, the gorilla remained within close range to attract the animal's attention.
The battle has not been won. Without any prior warning, the bones around the Magical Corpse Beast began to pulsate, as if his entire body was breathing.
“This is not good. It will use Spirit Surprise!” Ye Chenshan exclaimed.
Fan Ganglie and Lin Mokong quickly realized what that meant. The Magical Corpse Beast was one of the few Undead Astral Pet who was good at spiritual attacks, while the "Spirit Shock" was one of his famous great moves.
"Get out of there!"
They fail to pull their pets back in time. The strange energy ripples of the Magical Corpse Beast disturbed the area around his body and quickly expanded.
Whirrr!
He gathered his determination and forced his mind to stay clear. Fortunately, the shock was not aimed at him, or he would faint on the spot.
"My weak body can be a problem ..." Su Ping looked at the others completely unaffected and realized that he desperately needed to increase his astral strength. Back then, his astral strength only ranked third, which was a level commonly seen in students in the academy.
All Astral Pets around the effect stop moving. Small Skeletons too, daydreaming. His superior determination was not enough to help him withstand such an immediate Spirit Surprise.
More flying bone spikes, aimed at Astral Pets that are currently motionless.
A huge bone spike shattered the Little Skeleton's body.
The two arms of the gorilla were pierced, and the vest of the chain also had a giant hole in the middle. Fortunately, the attack did not completely hit his body.
In the sky, the neck and wings of the Azure Quetzalcoatl were pierced. His chain was completely destroyed.
The Magical Corpse Beast did not stop there. After the spike attack, it created a black vortex in front of them.
"It's Black Annihilation!" Ye Chenshan said.
Fan Ganglie turned pale after hearing that name. “But it is only possible for the rank nine undead type! What's with this thing??”
"Just run!"
Fan Ganglie had completely forgotten about getting the trophy. There was no way he could survive the Black Annihilation, a ninth rank attack.
Similarly, Lin Mokong rushed to call his gorilla back.
The problem was, their pet was still stunted by Spirit Shock and could not move too fast. They had to be close enough to directly drag the pet back into their pet room, but that meant putting themselves very close to the half-finished Black Annihilation.
Hit it!
Already late. The Magical Corpse Beast had sent a black vortex against the Azure Quetzalcoatl.
In a dumbfounded state, fellow Fan Ganglie only had enough time to raise his wings to protect himself.
Wings fascinated by the astral were erased from its existence like thin paper close to fire.
“No !!” Fan Ganglie shouted in despair.
Slowly but surely, the vortex engulfed most of the Azure Quetzalcoatl's body; it could only gather all the remaining power to fight back.
The vortex disappeared before it reached Quetzalcoatl's head. It hasn't killed the victim. With most of his body gone, Azure Quetzalcoatl would soon die unless it received some sort of miraculous treatment.
Fan Ganglie saw his pet looking at him dejectedly and pleading, yet he did not dare to save, fearing that the Magical Corpse Beast could still use Black Annihilation again.
The beast pointed another bone nail at the head of the Azure Quetzalcoatl.
Azure Quetzalcoatl felt the great despair of his master. Losing hope, it slumped down while waiting for the inevitable death — all the bloody organs exposed on the floor will ensure this will happen in time.
The clash!
The approaching bone spikes were quickly intercepted by the sword aura.
The Little Skeleton rejoined the battlefield after reassembling its body, with a thicker layer of dark energy and more intense killing intent.
