Chapter 354: Crushing the Fourth Order Boss in Charge!_2
Why bother spending time and effort to create minions that easily die?
Even if only First Order Necromancer spells can be used, there are still AoE (Area of Effect) spells, like the pitifully low-damage "Bone Teeth" skill.
[Bone Teeth (White): Level 20, fixed damage of 200 + 120% Magic Damage bonus. (Each level up increases by a fixed 10 points of base damage, +5% Spell bonus, and the number of Bone Teeth +1, Spiritual Power consumption +10 points.)]
Lord Zi currently has a Soul Value of 5122 points and no equipment bonus to his spells, so the damage of a single Bone Tooth can reach 6300+ damage.
Level 20 Bone Teeth can condense 20 at a time, and the most notable feature is that this skill is instant cast with no cooldown!
Using this thing to clear mobs, aside from the somewhat high Spiritual Power consumption, it's quite good.
Of course, the drawback of this skill is also obvious: it can't guide with precision, can't control the trajectory, high Spiritual Power consumption, and the damage isn't high.
But in situations where the godlike mob-clearing "Corpse Explosion Technique" can't be used, this thing is very good for harvesting mobs.
A vast Death Energy gathered above Lord Zi's head, instantly turning into white sharp fangs that shot toward the horde of monsters in front.
The sound of "crack" and shattering echoed continuously on the battlefield, as rows of skeletal frames fell and countless Spectres shattered into ghostly qi.
In 30 seconds, sixty rounds of Bone Teeth were fired without interruption.
White teeth flew wildly in the sky, turning into a barrage of white bullets raining down densely, covering the entire Undead formation.
Blood-red damage numbers flitted across the battlefield.
One after another, the Spectre soldiers were pierced through by Bone Teeth, their souls scattered to the winds, their Death Energy melding into the mist of death that enveloped Ghost Town.
Clearing the field was just that simple, so simple that the Fourth Order Boss guarding the city gate was taken aback.
No one expected that this Necromancer could be so powerful, that even a low-damage spell like Bone Teeth could reap Second Order or higher elite ghosts.
The damage was a bit absurdly high.
But with the fight already underway, this Spectre Boss couldn't possibly do nothing, right?
Almost in an instant, a dark figure charged out from the city gate tower.
The shadow was huge, standing at four to five meters tall, and featured four arms and two heads, with sharp Ghost Claws tearing through the air, aiming straight for Lord Zi's neck.
"Little horse, it's your turn to perform."
Fourth Order Level 84 elite boss, two levels higher than the boss slain at the west gate.
However, Lord Zi was unafraid and simply patted the jadelike smooth neck of the Undead stone horse beneath him, whispering softly.
"Such a hassle... Scram!"
The Undead stone horse snorted loudly, expressing its displeasure with a flash of its left front hoof.
With a "slap," a stone hoof imprinted itself on the left head of the two-headed ghost.
The menacing Boss, with one head askew, shot back even faster than it came.
With a "crack," the entire ghost stuck to the city wall.
Seeing the hoof print on the face of the Spectre Boss, Lord Zi was also baffled.
Punching someone is bad enough, but hoofing them in the face, really?
Zi Liyuan truly hadn't expected that this horse had so much strength. Although it was only a Third Order Level 80, it managed to kick away the charging Fourth Order elite boss with a single hoof.
It has to be said, there's quite a difference between the hero boss template and the elite boss template.
Battling above its rank and still managing to oppress easily diminished Zi Liyuan's concern for the upcoming unexpected.
Swiftly dismounting the Undead stone horse, he saw it transform into a shadow and dash out, its front hooves carrying furious power, thunderously striking down.
The scene that followed felt comically delightful to Lord Zi.
A Level 80 stone horse mounted a Level 84 Spectre and trampled it madly.
The true essence of war trampling!
Each hoof print appeared on the body of the Spectre Boss, who had no power to fight back, and it seemed as though the weight of the Undead stone horse, with the force of ten thousand jun, was pressing down, and the Boss couldn't rise.
The four Ghost Claws proved ineffective, their sharp claws ripping at the Undead stone horse only to raise sparks but unable to leave a single wound.
And the Undead stone horse ignored the Boss's attacks, allowing its Ghost Claws to land on itself without even scratching a layer off its stone skin.
Yet the damage numbers still floated up from the heads of the undead stone horses, just that they weren't particularly high, barely breaking a thousand.
In contrast, the damage inflicted by the undead stone horses with each hoof was 5000+.
The gap between an elite BOSS and a hero BOSS was evident, even if they were only one tier apart. Without a significant level gap, the elite would still be no match for the hero.
Completely outclassed!
From beginning to end, the spectre BOSS was the one getting beaten, truly without the strength to fight back.
However, upon seeing the loot dropped by the BOSS, Lord Zi lost interest quickly.
To say the least, the quality was so-so, too bland to eat but too wasteful to discard, an absolute chicken rib.
He leaped onto the undead stone horse and hastily led a group of undead towards the eastern gate.
As the two-headed ghost BOSS died, the death fog covering Ghost Town thickened, and the gathering of negative emotions increased.
"This dungeon is related to negative emotions, but who knows what kind of monster it will ultimately spawn."
Moving at a forced march, they rode their horses at full speed across the desolate town.
However, the undead stone horse deliberately controlled its speed to let the horde of undead catch up.
This assault was a mighty parade of undead creatures.
The over five thousand little skeletons summoned by Lord Zi were decimated like wheat, yet almost two thousand still survived.
Soon, Zi Liyuan and his party arrived at the eastern city gate.
The same rigorous defenses were in place, but the number of ghostly creatures stationed there didn't even come close to matching the gathered undead soldiers at the southern gate.
"Kill!"
Without any nonsense, Zi Liyuan, seated on his stone horse, swung his hand down with a kill command, and a bone tooth appeared above his head.
The small sharp teeth exploded towards the undead soldiers in front, as soon as they were released.
I widdled away at the soldiers relentlessly, tearing through their defenses and piercing through their bodies.
The power of death released from the bone teeth immediately began corroding these remnants.
After fifty unceasing volleys, the area was cleansed, leaving behind a ground littered with spoils.
The fourth-order BOSS guarding this side was an elite zombie BOSS at Level 86, slow in movement but durable with its thick, rough skin.
This time, Lord Zi didn't send the undead stone horse into battle but instead deployed the Shadow Leopard BOSS, now reduced to a skeletal frame, and three other elite beast BOSSes.
Shadow Leopard Level 80, rare BOSS template.
Gale Wolf Level 80, elite BOSS template, two of them.
Earth Bear Level 60, elite BOSS template, one of them.
The four BOSSes surrounded and attacked the fourth-order Level 86 elite zombie BOSS under the leadership of the Shadow Leopard.
However, as soon as the battle began, the Earth Bear went head-on with the zombie, and the outcome was predictable.
The Earth Bear skeleton was immediately smacked away by the elite zombie BOSS's palm.
The bear didn't even hit the ground before one of its skeletal claws was shattered by the impact.
Its health dropped by a tenth with a single slap.
The difference in levels led to a vast disparity in strength, plus zombies are inherently strong, so Lord Zi wasn't surprised to see the Earth Bear skeleton sent flying.
But the subsequent battle pleased Zi Liyuan immensely.
The Shadow Leopard skeleton and the two Gale Wolf skeletons began hit-and-run tactics, taunting the zombie BOSS with its slow speed by circling around and striking during defensive gaps before quickly retreating again.
And the poor Earth Bear, a second-order elite BOSS at its peak, pathetically became the zombie's punching bag.
Every time something unexpected happened, the Earth Bear BOSS dutifully stepped forward to take the hits, shielding its brothers.
The once mighty Earth Bear skeleton BOSS was pummeled by the zombie into a helpless state, its robust ribcage mostly reduced to dust, a picture of wretchedness.
Yet with a dedicated meat shield present, the Shadow Leopard and Gale Wolves unleashed their offensive potential to the max.
