Chapter 260: Necromancer
Human combat power comes from three aspects: body, mana, and soul, and the three provide physical strength, spells, and spirits respectively, and the weakening of any one of these abilities will cause a weakening of combat effectiveness. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Body strength and soul strength are the foundation and are important attributes that determine a person's state. Mana, on the other hand, is actually an enhancement stat, which is not only used for offense and defense, but also for support.
Edward wanted to implicitly tell his companions that they had many of their overlooked class skills that would support them in long battles.
Previous traversal experiences often only required them to engage in one or several high-intensity battles, which made them neglect to maintain their form, as well as these skills. And now that they have come to this place where demons are infested, they need to strengthen the cultivation of these skills first.
Gillian and the four Rogers listened blankly as Edward and the others said something they didn't understand, but they had a sense of confusion. Later, they witnessed the change in the fighting style of this strange group of travelers and their rapid adaptation to the world.
Edward is still as strong as ever, but he now alternates melee combat and spell attacks, and his power is significantly reduced, and he is blessed with a variety of stats at all times.
Legolas would switch between a humanoid, a white tiger, an eagle, a giant bear, a big fat bird (a wildowl), and sometimes a treeman, dazzling the five female outsiders.
As a meat shield that attracts enemy firepower, Hayley's main consumption is the strength of her body. She regained her previously neglected Holy Knight skills and healed her body. At the same time, she is also blessed with a kind of portal illusion state, Edward knows that this is a blessing spell researched by Hayley herself, through her and the Holy Flame Walker Void Connection, in order to absorb the latter's mana, and the power of the Holy Fire Walker in the void is almost endless.
Milhouse is a combination of a mage and a warlock, and the way this guy regains his strength is simple and straightforward - by making magic food and water to eat and drink, and occasionally by extracting the souls of enemies to make soul stones......
Aniya also consumes most of her spirit and mana, and her recovery methods are mostly those of the Shadow Priest. She summons a variety of Shadow Demons to indirectly drain the mana of her enemies.
With this realization, the crowd marched much faster, and as they advanced, a large number of demons fell on the path they had taken.
............
Three days later, Edward and the others finally found the five stone pillars marked on the map in the middle of the stone field, but when they arrived, they found a group of demons fighting a group of skeletons.
These demons are an advanced form of the Sinking Demon, known as the Blade Demon. Their skin sinks blue and gives them their rudimentary magical abilities - they will be blessed with lightning for their weapons.
One of the bladed demons was relatively strong, and his skin was darker than the rest of his compatriots, showing a dark blue color. Armed with a dagger and shield, it charged at the front of the line, and with each slash of the skeletons at him, a large burst of lightning shot and spread across the ground around it.
"What's going on? infighting? Dog-eat-dog?" said Milhouse, confused.
"There's a human in that group of skeletons!" the sharp-eyed Legolas spotted the anomaly, and among the skeletons, there was a man wearing bone armor and surrounded by a group of mana bones. The dim sky and the skull-like equipment made him look no different from the skeletons around him.
The human, holding a twig staff in one hand and a disgusting demon head in the other, shot bone spears as he flicked them. These bone spears are powerful and often capable of piercing through multiple bladed demons.
"That seems to be a necromancer!" Gillian explained, well-informed, "they are rare, I didn't expect to see such a person here." ”
"Necromancer?" Milhouse, who had been a little obsessed with the warlock profession lately, was very interested when he heard the name.
"Yes, it's a special mage who uses corpses, bones, and venom to fight. Gillian continued, "Legend has it that they are followers of the demon dragon Tagao, who are dedicated to maintaining the balance of power in the world, and can be considered a force for justice. However, due to their beliefs and abilities, they seem to be very evil, which makes them unacceptable to the people, and also causes them to rarely appear in the world. ”
Before Gillian could finish speaking, the necromancer showed everyone the strange way the necromancer fights.
Necromancers resurrect enemy corpses into sword and shield skeletons, bow skeletons, and skeleton mages as meat shields and attacks, while they also cast some bone form mana and venom to hide behind skeletons for ranged attacks. To Milhouse's surprise, the necromancer could also make corpses explode, and the explosion was so powerful that the seemingly harmless demon corpses would turn into a fire bomb in their hands, often killing and injuring a large number of bladed demons at a time, thus creating more corpses......
"It's a spell full of art," Milhouse exclaimed, "Oh, look, boss, there's already a Necromancer in the purchase menu...... Ugh!"
Milhouse, who spoke without a brain, quickly realized that something was wrong, but he was still deducted from his achievements......
Fortunately, Gillian and the four Rogs were staring intently at the legendary necromancer, not paying attention to what Milhouse said.
"It's a magical spell indeed. Edward also watched the necromancer's battle carefully, "although his resurrected puppets are unconscious and can only fight mechanically. But being able to resurrect a corpse, or even that kind of rock golem, is surprising enough. ”
Being able to be detected by Charlie's mental network about the spells he applied shows that he is not hostile to ordinary people, at least not enemies.
The battle near the Five Stone Pillars seemed to have fallen to the necromancer's side, but the battle took a turn for the worse just as the opponent's enemies were dwindling and the Blade Demon was once again showing up his spirit of escape.
Without the corpse, the necromancer's combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. The lightning that burst from the Blade Demon Leader's body quickly killed the skeleton in pieces, exposing the mage's body to the Blade Demon Leader's face.
Although the necromancer kept throwing out one after another earth bone spears, the blade demon leader's movements were extremely agile, and he quickly rushed in front of the mage with this short knife high, and raised the lightning flashing broken blade to launch a fierce attack on the necromancer!
