Chapter 392: Chapter 332: Undead Magic

After the Lich’s head was crushed, the pressure that had enveloped the battlefield finally dissipated.

The party no longer had to hold back.

’Damn it... So you liked to rush us just because you had a self-destruct skill, huh.’

’Let’s see you try to blow yourself up now!’

Filled with fury, Marcus and Gray charged forward.

Now, they could finally unleash their full power without restraint!

"CLANG!"

Gray’s Longsword whistled through the air.

In terms of pure combat skill, he was leagues above these mindless Decayed.

Gray executed a beautiful sidestep, deftly dodging a powerful downward cleave from a Decayed.

The moment he passed it, he kicked the Decayed in the chest. It lost its balance, stumbled backward, and fell.

Before the creature could get back up, Gray reversed his grip on his sword and followed up with a Thrust!

The tip of his blade pierced its throat, finishing it off.

Marcus also unleashed his combat prowess.

With a savage charge, he sent a Decayed flying, knocking it to the ground.

He then used the sharp edge of his Shield, smashing it down on the Decayed’s head again and again as if venting his fury.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

The sound of metal striking metal rang out repeatedly.

The Decayed’s helmet was brutally bashed in by Marcus’s assault.

Bent and broken shards of metal dug into its ugly face, turning it into a bloody pulp.

Meanwhile, Hill was in a dangerous situation.

She was still evading the frenzied pursuit of the enraged Decaying Knight.

The Decaying Knight could no longer care about anything else.

To the Decaying Knight, the death of the Lich was a blow even more unbearable than its own destruction.

It could only rely on fanatical instinct, brandishing its Kite Shield and Giant Sword as it sought revenge against Hill!

Normally, Hill’s speed would have made it easy for her to outdistance the Decaying Knight.

But the corrosive Negative Energy she’d absorbed from shattering the Lich’s Shield was still affecting her.

It slowed her movements considerably, making her less agile and even reducing the speed at which she could gather her Fighting Qi.

"SWOOSH!"

The Giant Sword swept horizontally. Hill scrambled into a roll, barely managing to dodge the attack.

The broad blade of the Giant Sword grazed her back as it slammed into the sand where she had just been standing, sending a spray of dirt into the air.

The heavy Kite Shield came smashing down!

In her haste, Hill could only raise her Short Sword to block the blow.

"THUD!"

The overwhelming force sent her flying back several meters.

Fortunately, Zelir’s magical support arrived just in time.

Sensing a Magic Wave from its side, the Decaying Knight instinctively raised its Kite Shield to block.

But this time, it wasn’t an Aurora Energy Beam.

An ethereal, deep blue hammer materialized and slammed forward!

Hammer of Destruction!

"BANG!"

The wide face of the hammer struck the Decaying Knight’s Chest Plate Armor.

On the surface, the Hammer of Destruction’s destructive power seemed inferior to the Aurora Energy Beam.

But against an armored opponent like the Decaying Knight, the hammer’s concussive effect could inflict far more effective damage to the body beneath the Armor!

The resonant shockwave passed through the Armor, violently rattling the Knight’s body within!

"Ghhk..."

The Decaying Knight’s body stiffened, its movements instantly turning sluggish.

It coughed up a mouthful of dark green blood.

Ruptured fluids even burst from the seams of its Armor.

While the Decaying Knight was staggered by Zelir’s attack, Hill immediately seized the opportunity to create distance.

Her breathing had become heavy and labored.

Zelir didn’t let up. Without a moment’s hesitation, he sent a second Hammer of Destruction flying!

"BOOM!!!"

If the first hammer had merely shaken it enough to cough up blood...

...then the second one directly shattered its entire skeleton!

The concussive force passed through its body. From within the heavy Armor came a dense series of CRACKING and SNAPPING sounds.

Under the continuous assault, its rotten flesh and bones were completely pulverized!

The Plate Armor, having lost its internal support, collapsed like an empty tin can, unable to remain standing.

With a loud CLANG, the Decaying Knight crashed to its knees.

The Soul Fire in its eye sockets flickered violently a few times before being extinguished.

Decaying Knight successfully killed!

Gray, Marcus, and Valles had also finished off the five remaining Decayed on the front line.

Level 38 (1/900) -> Level 41 (149/975). A jump of three levels!

Even Zelir hadn’t expected to gain so much experience from defeating the Decaying Lich and the Decaying Knight.

A total of 2,923 Experience Points—almost three thousand!

Along with the levels came a surge of distributable attribute points, now totaling 18!

Agility: 134

Constitution: 127

Magic Contract

With a full 18-point increase to his Intelligence Attribute, a refreshing, cool sensation surged from the depths of Zelir’s sea of consciousness and flowed through his entire body.

He could feel his Spring Seed circulating more steadily.

Every wisp of Magic Power he drew upon felt more docile and precise, moving completely in accordance with his will.

His Charm attribute had also risen, increasing by another four points.

This time, Zelir didn’t need a mirror to feel the difference.

It was a natural Ascension of his aura.

"Huu..."

Aside from the attribute increases, Zelir had other gains from this battle.

His Technique Celestial Calculation had gained a total of three new Magic skills.

Corpse Explosion Skill, analysis progress: 5%.

Necromancy Shock, analysis progress: 5%.
