Chapter 21 Promotion to the third level
As soon as he made contact, in less than a minute, Locke crossed the level and slashed a skeleton warrior who was one level higher than himself.
Locke found that after undergoing bone alchemy, the body was shaped and strengthened, and the combat power was even stronger than he expected. After all, in terms of combat effectiveness alone, Locke's melee combat power is already comparable to that of a fourth-level skeleton warrior.
Coupled with Locke's wisdom and spell-casting ability, Locke has a lot of hope of slaying ordinary fourth-level skeleton warriors.
Locke leapfrogged and slashed the third-level skeleton warriors, without attracting the attention of other powerful undead creatures. After all, the perception range of undead creatures is limited, and the fall of a third-level undead creature does not care at all any powerful undead creatures.
After devouring the other party's soul fire, Locke rushed towards the nearest third-level undead creature to him.
The distance was only more than ten meters, and Locke's speed was equivalent to that of a third-level skeleton warrior in just two seconds, and he came to the other party.
At this time, this third-level undead creature was randomly attacking its target, a second-level skeleton warrior.
In the face of the attack of a higher-level undead creature, this second-level skeleton warrior did not have Locke's strong strength, and could only support it, and it didn't take a few minutes for the soul devouring fire to completely disappear from the undead plane.
Fortunately, when this second-level skeleton warrior was about to be defeated and lost the power to resist, Locke arrived in time.
Although the third-level undead creature could sense the situation within tens of meters around it, this third-level skeleton creature had not paid attention to a second-level skeleton creature Locke before, and although it had discovered Locke's arrival at this time, it didn't care about Locke.
As soon as he arrived, Locke took the initiative to attack this third-level undead creature. Another second-level undead creature that was about to be unable to support it also took this opportunity to quickly get rid of the opponent's attack and retreated to one side.
Of course, this second-level skeleton warrior did not take the opportunity to run away from the battlefield.
Therefore, the order of the Bone Dragon Lord, coupled with the restrictions of the servant contract, these mid-level and low-level undead contract servants, even if the strength of their own party is not with the other party, once they fight, almost more than ninety percent of them may fall completely, and they have to fight with the other party.
Low-level undead creatures, once they violate the servant contract, they will be attacked by the contract, and they will almost 100% fall completely. Even if a mid-level undead creature violates the servant contract, it may be eaten by the contract and fall, even if it does not fall, the soul fire will suffer a heavy blow, and it is inevitable that the strength will drop significantly.
However, once a contract servant can be promoted to the high-level lord level existence, although the soul will be damaged and the strength level will be reduced, it will not fall due to the contract backlash.
Therefore, after the second-level skeleton warrior got rid of the attack of this third-level undead creature, he continued to rush forward, intending to besiege this third-level undead creature with the newly joined Locke.
The third-level undead creature didn't care about Locke originally, but when his blow was easily blocked by Locke, and the bone spurs on Locke's arm also caused some trouble to him, he also realized that the second-level skeleton warrior in front of him was stronger than he thought.
However, even if this third-level undead creature Zhi Dao began to pay attention to Locke's strength, it would not be of much use.
After Locke blocked the other man's blow, he raised his thick leg bones and slammed into the undead creature.
The powerful force, hard bones, and sharp bone spurs instantly pierced the defenses of this undead creature, bringing considerable damage to the body of this undead creature.
Although undead creatures, they have no sense other than soul perception and cannot sense the pain caused by physical trauma. However, its body was pierced by Locke, but it also affected the opponent's combat power.
After a leg blow, Locke's other arm bone claw immediately grabbed the limb of the undead creature's attack, and slashed the arm that blocked the opponent's limb blow. A row of sharp bone spurs on Locke's bone arm cut off a limb of this third-level undead creature like a serrated tooth.
Entangled with this third-level undead creature, Locke never retreated.
Another second-level skeleton warrior who rushed forward to besiege the other party with Locke, seeing that Locke and the other party were entangled, but they had no chance to attack, so they had to stop and prepare to look for an opportunity to help Locke.
A third-level undead creature, Locke alone is enough to deal with it, and naturally there is no need for a second-level skeleton warrior to help.
Only a few tens of seconds passed, and this third-level undead creature lost its ability to resist under Locke's attack, and the soul fire was also devoured by Locke.
This was the second third-level soul fire that Locke had slashed and devoured on the battlefield. As long as Locke's strength is enough, the zombie lord's side has enough level three, four, and five undead creatures, which can completely make Locke promote to level six undead skeleton mage.
Once again, the leapfrog devoured a third-level soul fire, Locke had reached the edge of promotion, the soul fire surged violently, and Locke had a desire to vent again. This time, Locke has indeed reached the verge of promotion, as long as he meditates for a period of time, or devours the soul fire of one or two existences of the same level, he can directly advance to the third level skeleton mage.
Locke didn't pay attention to the second-level skeleton warrior beside him, after all, the two sides were very different in strength and intelligence.
Devoured two third-level soul fires, although Locke did not advance directly, the soul fire was more than doubled, and the range that the soul could perceive was also farther.
After the soul sensed the next third-level undead creature, Locke rushed towards this target without hesitation.
When Locke was slaying one third-level undead creature after another, the low-level undead creatures on the side of the Bone Dragon Lord were constantly falling under the attack of the opponent's low-level undead creatures, and the soul fire was devoured, and the number became smaller and smaller.
After all, there is a large gap in the overall strength of the two warring sides. Those second-level undead creatures, in the face of the attacks of third-level undead creatures, except for a few who are more lucky, basically have only one way to fall.
Under normal circumstances, it only takes a few minutes for a third-level undead creature to kill a second-level undead creature with a lower strength, and it doesn't even take a minute to kill a fast.
Therefore, the entire battle between the two sides began, and in just a few minutes, nearly half of the second-level undead creatures on the side of the bone dragon lord fell, and they were easily killed by the third-level undead creatures on the opposing side.
When Locke slashed and devoured two third-level undead creatures one after another, the contract servants on the side of the Bone Dragon Lord lost three or four hundred, and most of them were low-level undead creatures with only second-level strength.
However, there are only more than 100 fallen undead creatures on the zombie lord's side, and the number is only one-third of that of Locke's side.
Of course, in a short period of time, there was not much difference in the number of third, fourth, and fifth level undead creatures that fell on both sides, and the second-level undead creatures on Locke's side fell the most.
After devouring the soul fire of the second undead creature, in order to calm the surge of the soul fire, Locke also began to use the only undead attack magic bone spear he mastered during the battle.
Of course, Locke's combat effectiveness is not manifested in magic, but in hand-to-hand combat.
When Locke is in hand-to-hand combat, he also casts undead attack magic, and his own combat power will naturally increase accordingly.
Although it is said that the bone spear shot of only the first level of magic can hardly hurt the third-level undead creatures, it can contain the opponent, confuse the opponent, and create a favorable fighter for Locke.
After all, although it is only a first-level undead attack magic, under Locke's casting, it is not less powerful than a second-level undead magic. The more powerful the soul fire, the more powerful the undead attack magic will be. Moreover, the Bone Spear Shot is also an advanced type of undead attack magic. The stronger the level, the more bone spears can be shot at one time.
And once the necromancer is promoted to the advanced lord level, only the first-level bone spear shooting, it will also leap to the seventh-level undead attack magic bone rain technique, dozens or hundreds of more powerful bone spears shoot out like raindrops, even if the lord-level existence is hit by the high-level undead magic bone rain technique, it will be injured.
It only took a dozen seconds for the third undead creature to lose its resistance under Locke's repeated attacks, and Locke easily devoured the soul fire.
The third soul fire had just been integrated into Locke's soul fire, and Locke's soul fire, which had devoured a full four third-level soul fires, also began to emit a special fluctuation, and Locke's soul fire finally began to transform, obviously at this time, Locke began to officially promote to the third-level undead creatures.
