Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge - Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Reaping the Battlefield

Zi Liyuan, with a Spirit of 348 points, could detonate bombs at a maximum distance of 348 meters.

Therefore, when he commanded the Vulture Skeleton to fly above the city wall, he didn’t let it release its claws to drop the bomb. Instead, he directly made the

Vulture Skeleton dive down.

Since it was destined to die, it might as well carry the bomb to the Jackalwolves before its demise; that way, when it detonated, not only would the attack be strong, but the blast range would be wide.

Don’t underestimate this silver-grade bomb, with a damage fluctuation of 500-800, but with Zi Liyuan’s Spirit-triggered detonation, it was naturally favored by the goddess of luck, maximizing the damage output.

As the Vulture Skeletons dived down one after another and were swarmed by the Jackalwolves, reduced to a pile of bone fragments, bombs also landed on the city wall, even right next to these Jackalwolves.

With a 30-meter blast radius for these bombs, each could affect a dozen or so Jackalwolves. The 256 bombs were almost detonated simultaneously.

The entire city wall was then covered in continuous explosions and dust, with “booming” sounds that echoed ceaselessly, amid which were mingled the agonized howls of the Jackalwolves.

The rare small BOSS Jackalwolves were still okay, tenacious in life. Though blasted to a dusty mess, they were not fatally wounded.

But the luck did not extend to the regular Jackalwolf monsters; a single bomb could inflict over 700 damage, and with the dense barrage of explosions along the wall and the 30-meter blast radius, it was just too much to bear.

This wave of Vulture bomber chickens had truly perfected the terrorist’s suicide bomb tactic.

Meanwhile, a certain sniper outside the city wall was inundated with a flood of system notifications.

[Killed a Jackalwolf warrior. Got a bonus of 100% extra experience for killing a monster 15 levels higher, earning an additional 2000 experience points.]

In just a few seconds, a hundred such notifications sounded, nearly deafening him with their incessant” dings”.

But this guy wasn’t idle; he took two large sniper rifles, resting them on the shoulders of a Hell Demon puppet, and once again began sniping to the left and right.

Even though the dust on the city wall was rampant, completely blocking the line of sight and making it hard to aim with the sniper rifles, this was no challenge for Zi Liyuan at all.

When his Spiritual Power reached 306 points, and his Spiritual Energy broke through to 30600, he could use the Nether Crystal Core to perform a second mutation and enhance the skill “Dark Eye Vision ‘.

Compared to the Eyes of Shadows mutation and enhancement, which only required 15,000 points of Spiritual Energy, the Eyes of Death consumed a full 30,000 points of Spiritual Energy for its mutation and enhancement.

Eyes of Death (LV9, Passive Skill): Penetrate the boundary between life and death. Under these eyes, all living beings and Dead Spirits would have nowhere to hide. Detect the specific vitality of living creatures or the strength of the dead qi in Dead Spirits over one’s own level. The detection range is influenced by the Spirit, with each point increasing the range by one meter.

Even if Jackalwolves hid in the smoke, their life auras were individually revealed to Zi Liyuan.

The visions seen by the Eyes of Death formed a 3D map in his mind, creating a spatial model that showed the life auras of the Jackalwolves at their respective positions.

All Zi Liyuan had to do was to detect the location with his Spirit, then aim the sniper rifle at that dusty area and pull the trigger.

With each gunshot, pairs of large sniper rifles fired in succession, emptying bullets from their chambers and punching holes into the bodies of the Jackalwolves. They struggled in agony before dying painfully.

At the same time, taking advantage of the cover of the dust over the city wall, Zi Liyuan once again began to summon his Skeletons, but this time, it was the Crossbow Skeleton Army!

256 Crossbow Skeletons formed a square formation and, under Zi Liyuan s control, moved swiftly towards the city wall. When they reached a hundred meters away, each Skeleton lifted its crossbow and hurled arrows towards the direction of the city wall.

The Jackalwolves panicked, their resistance becoming sparse and ineffective. How could they compare to the organized ranks of the Crossbow Skeletons?

256 arrows created a dark cloud that ominously covered the city wall, immediately followed by a series of piercing wolf howls.

While a single arrow didn’t do much damage, the overwhelming volley, especially since the Crossbow Skeletons’ Sunder Armor ability could stack three times, reducing 30% Physical Defense.

After three stacks of Sunder Armor, each arrow could deal around too damage, and with 256 arrows flying at once, it truly turned the Jackalwolves into hedgehogs.

Those Jackalwolf monsters, which were already in a pitiful state due to the bombs, had their lives swiftly reaped by the Crossbow Skeletons.

In Zi Liyuan’s ears, the sound of the system’s notification spam continued, not as dense as before, but still far more efficient than at the beginning.

Unbeknownst to them, the Jackalwolf garrison on this segment of the wall had been almost completely cleared out, with mostly high-health rare little BOSSES remaining.

Casually summoning a few Vulture Skeletons, he sent them out to scout the situation inside the city. Zi Liyuan, riding his Infernal Demon puppet, slowly approached the city wall.

No matter what the hero BOSSES were up to in this instance, to clear the dungeon, he would have to face them eventually. Now that the obstruction of the city wall was almost eliminated, it was time to enter the city and continue harvesting the lives of the Jackalwolves.

Just thinking about the experience points given by outdoor monsters, although reduced in a Second Order dungeon, they were still far more than those given by outdoor beasts.

So, leveling up was indeed fastest by running dungeons, which is why so many students were desperate to get into the Nine Great Divine States Academy; it had nothing to do with anything else but the sheer number of instances they controlled!

Zi Liyuan too was envious, but what he craved even more were the resources within Dragon Academy, those special resources that could come into play within the Sea of Realms!

Getting back to the matter at hand, it was easy for Zi Liyuan, riding his Infernal Demon puppet, to reach the three-meter-high city wall.

Compared to the worn stone walls he had seen from outside, standing on top gave a view of a surface pockmarked and littered with debris, a result of the recent bomb blasts.

“Howl- Damned human Mage, kill him!”

With a roar, the several dozen remaining rare little BOSSES on the wall, their eyes blood-red with hatred, charged at Zi Liyuan regardless of their injuries, determined to tear him into pieces.

“Tsk, tsk, really damn steadfast, only thing is, you forgot to ask if my Skeleton brothers would agree.”

Unable to deploy in formation on the city wall, Zi Liyuan flipped off the wall. The Infernal Demon puppet reliably blocked in front of him, and directly behind him stood the neatly arranged square formation of 256 Crossbow Skeletons.

A piercing and infuriating screech emanated from within the body of the Infernal Demon puppet.

The charging Jackalwolf warriors immediately entered a state of burning rage, their blood-red pupils forcefully diverted from Zi Liyuan and fixated on the

Infernal Demon puppet.

The howling little BOSSES focused all of their skills on the Infernal Demon puppet.

Unfortunately, their powerful and heavy moves, upon striking the Infernal Demon puppet, produced nothing but a “bang, bang, bang” sound of hammering iron, along with a flurry of “MISS” floating above the puppet’s head.
