‘Bang!’
The dark and cold negative energy of the Ghostly Fireball engulfed the surroundings.
It enveloped the scorpion warrior and the surrounding skeletons.
The soul fire of the skeleton warrior shook for a moment. It could not withstand the damage of the Ghostly Fireball, and the cold aura immediately extinguished it.
There was no rule of immunity from teammate damage in this world.
!!
The scorpion warrior, on the other hand, took the damage head-on. The spell that swept over did not damage their appearance, but their aura was pronouncedly much weaker…
“Cursed pharaohs, control the situation. Undead soldiers, kill the skeleton mages!”
Richard immediately gave the order as he watched the battle from behind.
They could not let the enemy cast their spells.
The scorpion warriors immediately charged forward at all costs and forcefully tore open a gap.
Undead soldiers followed closely behind and stepped into a distance of 30 meters.
The tomahawks in their hands flew out.
At this time, the cursed pharaohs released offensive incantations.
A dark light flashed in the air, and most of the skeleton mages stopped in their tracks.
‘Kacha!’
The violently powered tomahawk ultimately pierced through a series of skeleton warriors and skeleton archers. They ruthlessly slashed the bodies of the skeleton mages at the back.
A massive power erupted.
‘Crack!’
It directly shattered the fragile white bones of the opponent, and its body scattered on the ground.
When the tomahawk was exhausted, the undead soldiers swung its chains fiercely. It injected power into the tomahawk once again.
The deadly weapon that flashed with a cold light was like a lawnmower. It slashed horizontally at the skeleton mage.
‘Crack! Crack!’
The crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard continuously.
Richard’s troops slaughtered nearly two teams of skeleton mages.
At this time, the scorpion warriors had also recovered from the Ghostly Fireball attack.
These furious warriors charged at the skeleton archers who still shot arrows.
They vented their anger!
Scorpion warriors dismantled the skeleton archers from up to five squads to skeletons after two charges.
Many skeleton warriors wanted to attack Richard and the cursed pharaohs at the back along the way, but the undead soldiers killed them all.
After the scorpion warriors eliminated the skeleton mages and skeleton archers who could deal damage to themselves, a quiet number of remaining skeleton warriors quickly dropped to zero after the scorpion warriors and the undead soldiers finished them.
[Ding~ Your troop has annihilated a group of ghosts and won a small-scale battle. You have gained 1,200 experience points.]
Richard was delighted when he heard the system notification.
He had annihilated almost a massive group of ghosts from the spirit of the iron mine to now.
“I might be able to reach level 5 today… In the “Shining Era” level 5 is the beginning of the game.”
This kind of exploration of unknown gains made him excited.
Richard continued to move towards the tunnel behind him after he tidied up and ensured no threats of explosive equipment or treasures.
The skeleton warriors’ attacks on the road had never stopped.But the massive advantage in number of the ghosts could not be brought into full play in the narrow terrain.
No matter how hard the ghosts tried, they could not get past the scorpion warriors.
Richard stepped into the second underground space not long after.
However, the monsters stationed here were no longer skeleton warriors, but another undead tribe — zombies.
[Zombies]
[Level: 3]
[Potential: Elite 1-star]
[Skills: Zombie Body (E-rank) — Defense increases by 70%. Agility decreases by 50%. Immune to poison and pestilence.]
[Infection (E-rank) — Body is infected with pestilence. After being scratched, all attributes will be reduced by 2% every minute, up to a maximum of 30%.]
[Race Talent: Able to absorb the aura of death to recover from injuries.]
[Fetter-Zombie: When the number of zombies is greater than 10, defense increases by 15%. When the number of zombies is greater than 30, defense increases by 30% (activated).]
[Description: A branch of the undead race. They have a decent defense.
There were two squadrons of zombies.
Behind the zombies, there were five squadrons of skeleton mages.
“The scorpion warriors have broken through the zombies’ blockade. The Axe of the Dead has teamed up with the Poisonous Scorpion Warrior to hunt down the skeleton mages!”
“The Cursed Pharaoh has teamed up with the Poisonous Scorpion Warrior to fight for space for them!”
The thick-skinned zombies were pronouncedly not as easy to deal with as the skeleton warriors.
However, the only ones who could pose a threat to Twilight City’s troops were the skeleton mages at the back.
Richard’s pupils constricted when he saw the skeleton mages at the back had started to cast spells.
“Scorpion warrior, pay attention to dodging. If you can’t handle it, immediately activate Sand Transformation!”
Sand Transformation was not immune to magic damage, but it could greatly heal injuries. It was equivalent to a Quick Healing skill.
As soon as his voice fell, the zombies in front of him rushed in front of the scorpion warriors. These ferocious-looking undead creatures with stiff movements gave off a disgusting stench.
The upgraded scorpion warriors to rare-level were even fiercer than the zombies.
‘Whoosh!’
The iron pincers waved and gave off an ear-piercing sonic boom.
‘Crack!’
The front end of the closed pincers had an extremely sharp iron hook that was nailed firmly into the zombie’s body.
The scorpion warrior pulled hard.
‘Crack!’
The dry and hard body was directly torn apart.
The strong defense was nothing in front of the scorpion warriors’ unique method of breaking through defense.
However, the number of two squadrons was enough to hold off the scorpion warriors for a long time.
‘Whoosh!’
The Ghostly Fireballs in the hands of the skeleton mages shot out.
The skeleton mages from five squadrons launched their attacks at the same time this created a huge commotion.
The entire space was lit up.
Dozens of Ghostly Fireballs flew around and enveloped the entire space.
“Scorpion warriors, use the zombies to cover yourselves! Don’t resist!”
The scorpion warriors heard the order and charged forward.
They squeezed together with them and ignored the zombies that swarmed over.
‘Bang!’
Dozens of Ghostly Fireballs struck down, and a huge wave of air exploded.
The cold negative energy swept around like a storm.
The Ghostly Fireballs enveloped the entire area. The zombies close to it felt like their minds were hammered by a treasure. And their bodies suddenly became stiff.
They were unable to regain their mobility for a long time.
At this moment, the cursed pharaohs forcefully controlled the zombies around the scorpion warrior. This caused them to stop in their tracks.
The zombies at the back were unable to cross these zombies to attack the scorpion warrior which gave them precious time to recover.
After the scorpion warrior recovered from the soul impact, it fiercely swung its iron pincers to wipe out the slow zombies around it.
It forcefully opened a gap.
The undead soldier also threw out its tomahawk for the third time.
In an instant, a cold light flashed.
‘Kacha!’
The ten zombies behind him did not have time to dodge, and their bodies exploded.
Blood splattered all over the ground.
The undead soldier seized the opportunity and swung the iron chain.
The undead soldier used the chain to block the approaching zombies.
The zombies were slow and had no way of dodging.
A few undead soldiers joined hands and forcefully used the chains to open up a path to the skeleton mage.
The scorpion warriors seized the opportunity and charged forward.
‘Boom!
The second wave of Ghostly Fireballs lit up the sky again. The skeleton mage wanted to directly kill the scorpion warrior.
However, the prepared scorpion warriors were slightly faster. Only three of them were enveloped. These three warriors decisively activated Sand Transformation and took a wave of damage.
The remaining scorpion warriors charged in front of the skeleton mages.
The scorpion warriors finished these spellcasters who did not have close combat abilities when they got close to them.
The Axe of the Dead saw that the situation had stabilized. They began to raise their tomahawks and slaughtered the slow-moving zombies in front of them.
No matter how fleshy the zombies were, they did not have the half-metal giant flesh full defense.
The Axe of the Dead butchered the enemies with great pleasure.
Five minutes later.
[Ding~ The army you led destroyed a group of undead troops and won a small-scale battle. You have gained 1,500 experience points.]
The experience on Richard’s status panel soared again.
[Level: 4 (9835/10,000)]
Only a little more than 100 experience points were needed to reach level 5.
The point of Level 5 was the beginning of a qualitative change in the “Shining Era”. It was the beginning of becoming stronger.
After one reached level 5, one could officially enter this world. The prerequisite for rank change and learning skills were all level 5.
“This is what I call leveling up. Before this, I scanned through maps as if I played in the house…”
In a delighted aura, Richard immediately stepped into the third passage.
Unexpectedly, this time, the scorpion warriors who scouted ahead were not attacked by the skeleton warriors. The journey was peaceful.
However, this made Richard raise his vigilance to the highest level.
After he moved forward for 20 minutes, the scorpion warriors in front of him who scouted the path reported back and discovered a new situation.
Richard lowered his footsteps and followed the warriors.
His narrow and dim vision rudely awakened after he bent through an arc-shaped passage.
The scene in front of him made his heart tremble.
