"Kacha!"
The Flame Spear pierced through the Skeleton Warrior's chest. With a slight sweep, the Skeleton Warrior immediately turned into broken bones. Even the heavy sword in its hand dropped!
I smiled and picked up a few gold coins. Then, I took the heavy sword and looked at it — —
【Undead Iron Sword】 (Bronze)
Attack: 120-150
Strength: + 5
Bonus: Increases the user's strength by 3
Level Requirement: 60
(Unappraised)
… …
Looking at the stats of the heavy sword, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Wasn't this too trash?
Even if it was appraised, it would at most have 200 attack. The additional stats were also terrible. Also, the level requirement was 60. I couldn't imagine a Lv 60 Swordsman using this weapon. Would they be able to break through the defense of a Mage of the same level?
Forget it. I would go back to the city and sell it to the equipment merchants. Maybe I could earn a few gold coins!
Thus, I happily threw the bronze sword into my bag. Then, I walked to the bottom of the sentry post and used [Eyes of the Star] again.
This time, the stats of the black shadow on the watchtower were finally read out — 【Lich】 (Strengthened Monster)
Level: 70
Magic Attack: 450-580
Defense: 400
Health: 22000
[Bonus: Necromancers are the best of the best among human wizards. However, these people have been incited by fallen demons to cultivate death magic and become members of the Dark Faction. They have the ability to resurrect corpses and control the dead.]
I was slightly shocked. This Lich's magic attack was so strong!
580 Magic Attack. Even if I had 560 Magic Defense, it would still hurt a lot if I was hit by it!
I took out my Star Chasing Bow and shot an Armor Piercing Arrow — —
"Peng!"
It accurately hit the Lich's chest. Under the milky white light, the Lich immediately dealt 2674 damage!
"Roar roar!"
Amidst the roar, the necromancer had the guts to charge several meters into the air.
It jumped down from the watchtower and clawed at me. Although it only dealt less than 200 damage, it showed the fearlessness of the Lich.
"Huhu …"
Amidst the flames, the Lich's hands began to be covered in a layer of purple flames. In the next moment, a scorching purple fireball broke through the air!
"Pa!"
I felt a bone-piercing pain as I was hit by the Lich's Dark Fireball. When I looked at my health, I was shocked. A single attack had taken 1278 of my health. This was too much!
Even with Ling Yue's powerful magic attack, she could only hit me by so much. The advantage of a high level Lich cannot be ignored!
Thrusting his spear forward, he suddenly unleashed Total Annihilation. "Pa Pa Pa" the spear drew three arcs in the air, forcing the Lich to retreat. The next Dark Fireball that it was preparing was also successfully destroyed!
However, the Necromancer's attack speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, another Dark Fireball whizzed over!
“2584！”
My whole body felt like it was being torn apart. I couldn't help but groan inwardly. I quickly drank a 600 health potion, but it was like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water. This Lich's kung fu exploded and actually managed to land a critical strike. If it did, I was afraid that I would die here. If I died and went back and let Ling Xue know that I was killed by a Lv 70 monster — — I would definitely be too ashamed to live!
I quickly rushed forward and used Shield Break Slash. A golden armor piercing wave enveloped the spear's blade. In the next moment, the spear's blade swept into the Lich's body like a watermelon!
“6248！”
It actually managed to land a critical strike!
What made me even more happy was that at the same time the 6248 damage appeared, a warm feeling spread from the spear's shaft. My health instantly recovered by 250 points. Impressively, it was the Vampiric Ring's 4% lifesteal effect. With such a powerful attack, this originally insignificant lifesteal effect actually became so important!
My heart relaxed a little as my health went over 1500 points. The Flame Spear in my hand suddenly trembled, and the spear's blade hit the Lich's chest, activating [Ice Wind Pierce]. Snowflakes danced in the air, and the Lich's upper body was immediately covered in a layer of frost. Following that, I followed up with [Whirlwind Slash] and a normal attack, and the Lich's health was instantly emptied. However, the funny thing was that even though it knew that death was imminent, the Lich actually revealed a look of fear and quickly retreated!
I laughed and took out my Star Chaser Bow. An [Ice Arrow] followed by a [Fire Arrow] cleanly ended the Lich's life. With a scream, the Lich softly fell to the ground and dropped a dozen gold coins.
I went up to pick up the gold coins. What was worth being happy about was that although the Lich was obviously very difficult to fight, the experience it gave was quite generous. At least, it was already comparable to the elite monsters in the Bone Wilderness.
In the quest window, the requirement for 100 Lich immediately became 99, 1% complete.
I let out a sigh. I had to be careful when leveling today. The legends were indeed true. After entering the main city, not only did the stats of the NPCs greatly increase, but the stats of the monsters also increased by a lot. From the Ghouls from before to the Lich here, the stats of the monsters in Muguang City were much stronger than those of the same level.
In this Blood Sentinel, there were many such Lich hidden in the darkness, and I could only detect and kill them one by one. I had to be very careful because if I attracted the firepower of two Lich at the same time, the only result that awaited me was death and a drop in level.
After killing a Skeleton Warrior guarding the door, I carefully snuck in and closed the black wooden door so that it would be easier to escape later.
I stuck to the corner of the wall and slowly moved forward. Not long after, I found a Lich curled up in a corner. Its frighteningly pale face didn't have a trace of a human's expression, and its crimson eyes looked around.
This time, I didn't use my Star Chaser Bow to attract the monster's attention. Using a ranged attack against a Lich was a very unwise move. Moreover, when I used the Star Chaser Bow, the lifesteal effect wouldn't be activated, so I had to get close to the Lich to use the powerful attack of the Flame Spear!
Unfortunately, I didn't have the [Charge] of a Swordsman or Berserker after their second class advancement, so I could only run over and use my [Ice Wind Pierce] from afar to pierce the Lich's chest!
"Pu!"
The Lich was caught off guard and didn't even have the time to charge up its first magic attack before it was slowed down by my [Ice Wind Pierce]. After a roar, the Lich roared and started to attack. Its black claws scratched everywhere. Although it didn't deal much damage to me, it made me feel disgusted.
After the close combat was over, the Lich began to charge up a dark fireball. I was waiting for this moment. I immediately swung my Flame Spear and used [Total Annihilation]. "Pa Pa Pa" Three consecutive sounds rang out. As expected, [Total Annihilation] successfully broke the Lich's fireball. The Lich angrily roared and was about to charge up its magic when I slid behind the Lich and used a normal attack with my Flame Spear.
"Hua la!"
After the fireball finished charging, the Lich hurriedly turned around. However, I had already expected it and slid to the right. I moved behind the Lich's blind spot. As a result, the fireball suddenly flew out. After making a semicircle, the fireball landed on my shoulder!
“1189！”
I was slightly surprised. Looks like it would be very difficult to dodge this kind of monster's attack. I could only use brute force!
"Pu pu", I used [Shield Break Slash] and [Whirlwind Slash]. The Flame Spear glowed with a golden light. In the fierce wind, the Lich's body was immediately torn apart. It dropped a dozen gold coins and a pitch black staff!
【Undead Scepter】 (Bronze Tier)
Magic Attack: 100-140
Intelligence: + 5
Additional: Increases the user's intelligence by 2
Level Requirement: 60
(Unappraised)
… …
I couldn't help but be speechless. This Undead Scepter's stats were also super bad. It was also something that could be thrown into a shop.
At this time, another patrol team of three Skeleton Warriors walked over. I didn't hesitate to go up and deal with them. These kind of monsters with physical attacks were much less of a threat to me. Just relying on the lifesteal effect was more than enough to replenish my lost health.
After the three Skeleton Warriors fell to the ground, they dropped another Undead Iron Sword. I immediately threw it into my bag. Getting rich was the way to go!
And so, just like that, I slowly made my way into the sentry post. In the distance, I saw a long row of rotting coffins placed in the open space inside the sentry post. These should have been the resting place of the human army's dead soldiers. However, it seemed that the dead had been captured by the dark army before they could even be buried.
After a hundred years of wind and rain, there were no complete coffins to be found here. Many of them had been broken into two pieces. The white bones of the dead were exposed to the air. There were even some with large holes in them. Obviously, the dead had been summoned by the Lich. They were the Skeleton Warriors that were patrolling this area!
Dozens of Lich paced back and forth in the forest of the undead. I carefully went around the front row of coffins and directly attacked from behind. I used my Flame Spear to kill one Lich after another. After killing a Lich, I had to eat a piece of bread to recover health. I had to admit that the Lv 1 Bread that Ling Xue had given me was a great help. If I didn't have the bread, I would have had to rely on health potions to recover health. The long cooldown of drinking potions would have nearly doubled the amount of time I needed to kill monsters.
The Scarlet Sentry Post was filled with hidden dangers, so I had to be very careful. By 9 pm, I had only killed 87 Necromancers and countless Skeleton Warriors. I had gotten quite a lot of equipment. Yep, 24 Bronze-grade trash Scepters of the Dead and 56 Bronze-grade trash Undead Swords of the Dead. They were all items that I had lost in the shops.
At this time, I looked at my friend list. The girls of Xue Yue Studio were all online, and the main leaders of Sword Fire were also there. Qin Yun had been temporarily taken over by them as a support. However, the workshop didn't have a group operation today. Otherwise, Ling Yue would definitely not be polite and ask for Qin Yun back. After all, this beautiful little Priest was one of us now. She was much closer to us than the people of Sword Fire.
And a very special friend of mine, Chrysanthemum Daohana, was also online. She was already Lv 56. Her leveling speed was really fast. Thinking back to yesterday's quest to destroy Arrogant Madman in the Withered Wood Coast Forest, I felt very satisfied. Arrogant Madman must be very angry. I wonder if he will vent his anger on Chrysanthemum Daohana. After all, if Chrysanthemum Daohana was there that day, with her Soul Seal ability, I would definitely be killed on the spot.
At the same time, I was also puzzled. What was the relationship between Faint Chrysanthemum Daohana and Arrogant Madman?
Could it be that Chrysanthemum Daohana was Arrogant Madman's girlfriend?
It didn't seem like it. Who would treat their girlfriend so fiercely?
Could it be that Faint Chrysanthemum Daohana had been that done by Arrogant Madman before?
Then, she relied on her body and would wholeheartedly help Arrogant Madman to do things?
Thinking about it carefully, it wasn't very possible. Because from Bloodthirsty Arrogant's words, Chrysanthemum Daohana didn't live with Arrogant Madman. Instead, she was taken care of by a servant. Also, Bloodthirsty Arrogant said that Faint Chrysanthemum Daohana couldn't move on her own. What did that mean?
Could it be that Chrysanthemum Daohana was in a vegetative state and her brain had entered the game's ecological chamber?
It didn't seem like it. Although Eternal Moon Corporation had developed an ecological chamber, it wasn't widely available. It wasn't sold at all. After all, a person could rely on ecological fluid to sustain their body for up to half a month without going offline. Although it was possible, it was a very nonsensical thing. If a person didn't communicate with others for so long, it was hard to say if they would speak human language when they came out.
No matter how much I thought about it, I still couldn't figure out what kind of girl Chrysanthemum Daohana was. Forget it, it wasn't something I could control anyway. What was the point of thinking about her …
I continued to kill monsters. After sweeping through a large group of Necromancers in the Scarlet Sentry Post, my mission completion stopped at 99. I only needed to kill one more Necromancer and then kill the big boss, the Corpse Wizard King. Then, I would be able to complete this 625 difficulty NB mission!
In front of me, a pitch-black house stood at the center of the Scarlet Sentry Post. It looked like a sealed altar. Two Necromancers stood on either side of the door, and they were very close to each other.
I was slightly startled. This wasn't good. The two Necromancers were so close to each other. As long as I disturbed one of them, the other would definitely be alerted. Fighting two Necromancers by myself seemed to be beyond my limits …
I thought for a moment and came up with a plan!
I raised my hand and shot an Ice Arrow at one of the Necromancers. A layer of frost immediately covered the Necromancer's body, and the Necromancer's movement speed was reduced by 30%. As I expected, the other Necromancer immediately pounced at me. However, I had already retreated the moment I shot the Ice Arrow!
The slowed Necromancer had just started to charge a Fireball, but it lost its focus in the next moment because I was already out of its attack range!
At this time, the other Necromancer had already caught up to me. I immediately switched to my Flame Spear and used a Total Annihilation + Shield Break Slash combo. Then, I quickly retreated a few steps. As expected, the Necromancer immediately chased after me and raised its hand to probe me with a melee attack!
The slowed Necromancer also entered my attack range. It clasped its hands together and began to cast a spell.
I hurriedly switched to my Star Chaser Bow and used the instant skill [Ice Arrow] that didn't require any casting time. I didn't care about the Necromancer that was close to me at all, and retreated two steps to get out of the Necromancer's attack range. This way, the two Necromancers' attack range just happened to miss each other!
Six seconds passed and the Flame Spear appeared in my hand again. "Pa pa!" I was hit by the Necromancer's Fireball attack.
I quickly drank a bottle of potion and turned around confidently. My spear shone brightly and pierced the back of the Necromancer in front of me. I pulled horizontally and the Necromancer immediately fell to the ground with a whimper.
One of the quests, killing 100 Necromancers, had been completed!
Now, only the Necromancer in the distance was left.
