However, the Corpse Explosion show didn’t last long, only going off twelve times before Zi Liyuan had to stop.

Because the Jackalwolf Chieftain broke through the Bone Prison and charged over again, it also roared fiercely, commanding all the mini-bosses to scatter, preferably moving out of the Hell Puppet’s gravity field coverage.

Hundreds of bosses fled in all directions, forcing Zi Liyuan to stop the roll call for the Corpse Explosion Technique.

There was no other way, the range of the Corpse Explosion Technique was only ten meters. Those Jackalwolves had become wise, knowing to maintain a safe distance while running, and even making room for their boss to attack.

“One-on-one, who is my Lao Tie afraid of?

In an environment for a one-on-one created by the Jackalwolf Chieftain, Zi Liyuan certainly wouldn’t hold back, so he jumped down from the Hell Puppet and casually cast a curse spell—Attract—on his Lao Tie.

Attract (LV9): Curses a target to become the thorn in the side of monsters, attracting a significant amount of aggro. When attacking monsters, the aggro gained is increased by 100%, lasts for 15 seconds, the skill cooldown is 30 seconds, and it consumes too points of Spiritual Energy.

The Necromancer’s curse spells were varied, and mostly of support type. Without lacking experience, Zi Liyuan selectively leveled up several to the current highest level of LV9-

Originally the Jackalwolf Chieftain was targeting Zi Liyuan, but, influenced by the curse, it also started to view the Hell Puppet with equal hostility.

However, possibly due to the dungeon’s reduction in suppression on the monsters, this BOSS wasn’t completely driven by the aggro chain. Mid-charge, though it glanced at the Hell Puppet, it still kept its focus on Zi Liyuan, who had descended from the Hell Puppet and was planning to retreat to the side.

“Wow, what a grudge that must be, to relentlessly chase after me like this,” Zi Liyuan said, not the least bit worried.

Because as the Jackalwolf Chieftain closed in on the ten-meter range of the Hell Puppet, the “Mana Induction” skill was activated once again.

Corpse Explosion Technique was used at the start to gather mobs, and then the skill hadn’t been used since, so now wasn’t it unexpected, achieving a surprise effect?

With one skill forcefully attracting aggro, and another increasing a large amount of aggro with subsequent aggro gain doubling, Zi Liyuan didn’t believe that after the Hell Puppet’s beating, the BOSS’S first position on the aggro chain would still be him!

Indeed, that was the case. The Hell Puppet grabbed the jackalwolf Warden by the neck with one hand, and rather than slapping, its hand was clenched into an iron fist, slamming down hard on the Jackalwolf Chieftain.

The clash between the iron fist and the chain hammer was a shower of sparks, appearing evenly matched, but in reality, the Hell Puppet was firmly in the lead. With blow for blow, flesh against fist, the Jackalwolf Chieftain’s body of flesh and blood, even when using weapons, couldn’t break the Hell Puppet’s defensive resistance; only when using various skills could it deal triple-digit damage.

But triple-digit damage to the Hell Puppet with 420,000 health was as insignificant as a drizzle.

On the other hand, the Jackalwolf Chieftain suffered heavy blows, as each punch that landed was enormously powerful, causing not only intense pain but also over 3000 damage.

When one side barely managed to breach defense, and the other could deal a massive amount of damage, this battle was destined to end with the demise of the Jackalwolf BOSS.

Moreover, on the fringes of the battlefield, an old sixth was prepared with many tricks, such as various spells-Weaken, Damage Amplification, Attack Rebound, Dark Microvision, and other curses.

Weaken reduced some of the BOSS’S attributes, making its attacks feeble and ineffective.

Damage Amplification increased the damage the BOSS took.

Attack Rebound made the BOSS suffer rebound damage from its own attacks. Dark Microvision reduced the BOSS’S vision, weakening its command of the battlefield.

If it weren’t for Zi Liyuan specifically setting aside the Fear and Confusion skills for the Jackalwolf Sentinel BOSS, these two powerful abilities would have fallen onto the Barbarian King as well.

As for attacking the BOSS, Zi Liyuan didn’t make a move but was instead popping potions to recover his Spiritual Energy while staying vigilant of the surrounding small BOSSes and gradually collecting the corpses of the fallen Jackalwolf Warriors.

With the skills “Attract Curse” and the Hell Puppet’s learned “Mana Induction,” the enmity chain for the BOSS was solid as hell.

Even if the BOSS used a hate-clearing skill and regained its senses, attempting to bypass the Hell Puppet to chase after Zi Liyuan, it still was slowed by the combined 50% slow effect of the gravity field and Delayed Deceleration, utterly unable to shake off the entanglement of the Hell Puppet.

Seeing that the battle was stabilizing and even tilting in his favor, Zi Liyuan immediately dismissed the remaining dozens of Shield Combat Skeletons and once again began Skeleton Summoning.

256 Crossbow Skeletons, forming a neat phalanx, reemerged on the battlefield. The sole command given to these skeletons was, of course, to focus fire on the small BOSSes spectating the battle.

The pack of Jackalwolf Warriors, having had their fill of the Corpse Explosion Technique, saw their fallen comrades’ bodies as if they were the plague, daring not to get within ten meters. However, these guys weren’t about to just take hits without fighting back; instead, they started picking up stones from the ground and hurled them at the Crossbow Skeletons.

And sure enough, the stones that were thrown didn’t come with a light punch -the attack was mighty effective, with just two fist-sized stones capable of shattering a Crossbow Skeleton.

There’s no helping it; Crossbow Skeletons had pitifully low health, with their only commendable feature being the special skill Sunder Armor.

Stacking 30% Sunder Armor effects was incredibly effective for slaying monsters.

To make the Crossbow Skeletons last a little longer, Zi Liyuan once again summoned over a hundred Shield Combat Skeletons to form a barrier in front of the Crossbow Skeletons.

The result was very effective; the defense-focused Shield Combat Skeletons, with their damage reduction from Bone Shield, could withstand being hit by five stones before shattering.

At the same time, the Shield Combat Skeletons would occasionally use their taunt skill to pull the peripheral Jackalwolf Warriors a bit closer, ideally dragging them all within a hundred-meter radius of him.

From the very start, Zi Liyuan kept a vigilant watch on his surroundings and firmly took control of the battle, continually calculating the health lines of the two Hero BOSSes, just waiting to reach a certain threshold for a wipeout! Plan B was to forcefully kill the BOSS, and this wasn’t about forcibly taking down the Hero BOSSes, but rather killing all the BOSSes present on the field! Seeing the Jackalwolf Barbarian King’s health about to drop below 50%, and the Jackalwolf Sentinel’s health already down to 40%, Zi Liyuan immediately sprang into action.

The Bone Prison he had readied a long time ago broke through the earth centered on the Hell Puppet, turning into skeletal bone walls, trapping both BOSSes within.

Simultaneously, the outer Shield Combat Skeletons collectively used their taunt skill, forcibly dragging all of the surrounding Jackalwolf Warriors into the fray, pulling them into the one-hundred-meter battle zone.

The next moment, a stream of ghastly green Demonic Energy flames burst forth from within the Hell Puppet; his already towering figure over three meters high instantly grew larger, and his body was ignited with blazing hellfire.

Demonic Energy Overload skill activated, bringing a +20% bonus to all attributes for 1 minute, turning his original health of 420,000 into 504,000 in the blink of an eye.

It was the moment the Hell Puppet triggered the skill, a ferocious and enormous surge of Demonic Energy erupted from all over him, instantly sweeping across the whole one-hundred-meter radius.
