Chapter 14 Promotion and Finishing
Locke naturally knew that his bone spear shot was useless even if it hit the opponent's joints, and the purpose of his bone spear shot was not to hurt the opponent, but to force the opponent back, disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm, and buy himself some time.
Taking advantage of the time when the opponent dodged and had no time to attack him, Locke seized the opportunity to instantly hit a second-level ghoul beast that tried to attack him.
The powerful force generated by the alternating blows of both hands directly knocked a hole in the body of one of the second-level ghouls.
At this time, the two third-level ghouls also dodged the bone spear shot and attacked Locke again.
In order to kill this second-level ghoul again, Locke had to resist the full force of the two third-level ghouls who came up.
There was another click, and the traumatized ghoul, who was constantly struggling, was finally torn off his neck by Locke, and lost the strength to resist.
After Locke's body withstood the combined blows of two third-level ghouls, several bones were broken again, and at this time, the upper body of the skeleton Locke had broken a total of more than a dozen bones.
The breaking of more than a dozen bones also caused Locke to suffer a lot of injuries, and his upper body seemed to fall apart.
Although the bone frame of his body was not lightly damaged, Locke secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The thought swirled, and as soon as he breathed it, the ghoul's soul fire left the other party's head and merged into Locke's surging soul fire.
In an instant, a strong fluctuation came from Locke's body, which was the fluctuation caused by the transformation and promotion of the soul fire of the undead creature.
After devouring the soul fire of three second-level undead creatures in a row, the skeleton mage Locke finally began to be unable to suppress the promotion to the second-level skeleton mage.
Promoted to the second-level skeleton mage, Locke's bone frame was also tempered by the power of the undead driven by the soul fire because of the promotion. Of course, Locke's bones have not been strengthened by the tempering of the power of the undead, but have only become a little more sensitive. After being tempered by the Soul Fire Promotion, the bones can also contain more undead power.
Locke's soul fire had also been strengthened by hundreds due to his promotion and transformation, which was more than ten times more powerful than when Locke had just become a first-level undead skeleton mage.
At this time, if the third-level ghoul casts the spirit attack magic ghoul howl again, Locke will only be stunned, and will not lose the power to resist. As for the ghoul howl cast by the second-level ghoul, it couldn't affect Locke's soul fire at all.
As a mage-type undead creature, Locke's soul fire is naturally more powerful than a warrior-type undead creature of the same level.
Therefore, it was attacked by the howl of a second-level ghoul at the time of the first level, so it did not have much effect. At this time, Locke was promoted to the second level, and the soul fire was also stronger than the vast majority of second-level undead creatures, even if the howl of the ghoul of the fourth or third level only affected Locke, and would not bring much harm to Locke.
After being promoted, Locke also relaxed and began to concentrate on dealing with the attacks of the two third-level ghouls.
The few second-level ghouls who were still alive around all retreated in horror.
Although these ghouls are not very intelligent, the corpses of the two companions also clearly tell these ghouls how powerful Locke is.
Promoted to the second-level undead creatures, although Locke's melee combat power has not been improved, the transformation of the soul fire has increased, which has increased the power of Locke's undead magic a lot. At this time, the bone spear shot that Locke used again was more powerful than the first-level strength in terms of speed, strength, and accuracy.
And Locke felt that he could not only shoot more bone spear shots, but also shoot two bone spears at once.
The Bone Spear shot cast at Level 1 is difficult to threaten these Level 2 undead creatures, while the Bone Spear shot by Locke at Level 2 is capable of slashing the same level of existence. Although the strength of low-level skeleton mages is generally weaker than that of skeleton warriors of the same level, it is also because of their lack of intelligence, if their intelligence can be comparable to Locke, even if they cast undead attack magic, they are not weaker than existences of the same level.
Although Locke's bone spear shot at this time has greatly increased its power, it can threaten the second-level ghoul. However, at this time, there were only two third-level ghouls left around Locke, and the rest of the second-level ghouls had already retreated far away.
Therefore, when Locke was fighting with two third-level ghouls, he also constantly used bone spear shots to interfere with each other.
Although the speed of the third-level ghoul is faster than Locke's, it is difficult to be faster than the speed at which Locke casts the bone spear at this time, especially when he encounters two bone spears in a row, he can only dodge one bone spear at most.
During the battle, the advantage gradually tilted in favor of the skeleton mage.
The biggest advantage that the undead magic bone spear shot brought to Locke was still to contain the opponent.
As the war continued, no new injuries were added to Locke's body. The two Level 3 ghouls began to suffer because they were not hit by Locke.
If Locke had encountered other third-level skeleton creatures instead of ghouls who were very good at speed, it would have been over.
During the battle, one of the ghouls howled again. Obviously, after a period of time, this ghoul's mental power has recovered a lot, and he can continue to use his psychic attack magic again.
Locke only felt the soul fire faint for a moment, but the moment he withstood the howl of his ghoul, Locke had already recovered.
Both ghouls, as they had done several times before, seized the opportunity to attack Locke again. However, this time Locke's situation is different from before, because Locke has recovered.
"Bang. ”
"Click. Two voices rang out one after the other.
Without dodging, Locke raised a bone claw to block the attack of one of the third-level ghouls, while the other arm took the opportunity to attack the opponent.
His own blow was blocked by the opponent, and the ghoul who cast the ghoul howl was also surprised.
Without preparation, Locke knocked the third-level ghoul to the ground with a single blow.
At the same time, Locke's other side, because he had no time to take care of it, was hit by another third-level ghoul.
One of Locke's left bones snapped again.
Locke also expected that he would be hit, after all, at that moment, he only had time to block one of the ghouls. All Locke has to do is take the opportunity to fight back and exchange injuries for lives.
Ignoring the injuries on his body, Locke pounced on the other party the moment he fell to the ground.
Before the third-level ghoul could escape, he fell into Locke's attack again.
One leg hit the opponent, and at the same time, the two bone claws used force at the same time, grabbing the third-level ghoul.
With a movement of his mind, two bone spears shot away, and the target was exactly one of the ghouls outside the two, interfering with the other party, making it impossible for him to attack him for a while, giving himself a chance to completely kill a third-level ghoul.
After capturing the struggling ghoul, Locke slammed it into the ground of the Undead Realm.
Under the smash, this third-level ghoul was instantly severely injured by Locke, and the limbs and internal bones of his body were shattered a lot under this smash, and he completely lost the power to resist.
Sensing that this third-level undead creature was no longer struggling, Locke easily twisted off the other party's head, opened his mouth and inhaled, and the soul fire of this third-level undead creature was completely contained in Locke's soul fire.
After the leapfrog devoured the higher-level soul fire, Locke's soul fire also kept surging, as if he was about to advance to the third-level undead creature again. Of course, Locke knew that the urge to advance was an illusion caused by the rapid increase in the soul fire.
After slashing and devouring a third-level undead creature again, Locke naturally no longer worried about the remaining third-level undead creature.
The undead magic bone spear shot continuously towards the only ghoul beside him. A large amount of mental power consumption can also effectively alleviate the pressure caused by the surge of soul fire.
The remaining third-level ghouls howled under Locke's continuous undead magic attacks, and quickly disappeared from Locke's perception.
