Chapter 1196: Chapter 1196
"Looks like they don’t have many undead creatures left, now it’s our turn to attack, don’t waste time, send over those Demon Extermination Spirits whose time is almost up," Du You said to Lin Yushi.
Because the Demon Extermination Spirits were time-bound, they had to act quickly; they couldn’t possibly wait until the last moment.
Du You was feeling some regret; had he known it would come to this, he wouldn’t have been so itchy to turn all the Demonic Flame Skeletons into Demonic Flame Bone Dragons. Now he had so few Demonic Flame Skeletons left to use.
As for the Demonic Flame Bone Dragons, though they were undeniably powerful, they were only of the fourth tier and couldn’t reach the fifth. Du You believed that the Undead Castle definitely had special weapons designed to target powerful creatures.
If his Bone Dragons dared to approach, they would certainly be doomed. And, most crucially, the cost for the enemy to take down a single Bone Dragon was far less than to eliminate a hundred thousand Demonic Flame Skeletons, which made the cost-performance ratio somewhat insufficient.
Lin Yushi nodded slightly, then adjusted her Demon Extermination Spirits into formation, changing the constant defensive posture of the past few days and beginning to attack. Ironically, the Demon Extermination Spirits were not particularly adept at attacking but excelled in defense. Yet, this defensive approach had a great effect here, as they could consume more of the enemy’s strength.
"My Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves should also join the attack, their cooldown period has ended, no need to waste this opportunity."
Lin Yucha said as she dispatched her Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves, which were at level 46, and there were precisely 46 of them. Although they weren’t particularly strong individually, their combined strength within an army was formidable.
Moreover, under a cover of golden light, these similarly colored Demon Wolves were hardly noticeable.
Seeing a large number of creatures beginning their assault, anxiety began to morph into fear among the Undead Mages. "Damn it, hold them back, we must hold them back, prevent them from breaching our castle."
"Stop talking nonsense, use whatever means you have at your disposal right now, stop holding back. Also, draw those remaining undead closer to the castle, it would be better if we can attract the enemies closer."
An Undead Castle established by a fifth-tier Undead Mage could even injure or cause serious injury to a sixth-tier expert approaching it. Of course, there were no entities with sixth-tier combat capabilities in this world.
In their eyes, the weapons they had set up inside the castle, when released at full power, no creature in this world could withstand. But Du You was not foolish, why would he approach the enemy’s castle?
A large number of Demon Extermination Spirits began to approach, and the Undead Mages also felt the discomfort others had when facing the Undead Sea. Fınd the newest release on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
The dilemma was real: wasting magic power to exterminate them or suffer misfortune by not doing so. Those creatures piled up one after another like stacking Arhats, quickly able to surmount the walls. Even for castles built on cliffs, the pressure they faced was enormous.
Even if these monsters were knocked down, they astonishingly didn’t die upon impact, their defense was much stronger than that of the undead. When the Demon Extermination Spirits at the base of the cliffs climbed up, holding onto the rocks, their dense and overwhelming onslaught made them even more restrained.
A grey ripple spread out, sweeping across the golden creatures, having no effect.
"Don’t use death attribute attacks, those creatures don’t have lives at all."
An Undead Mage shouted a reminder to the others, so everyone began changing their attack methods. On the ground, patches of Bone Spikes pierced up through the earth, impaling one Demon Extermination Spirit after another.
Then, other Demon Extermination Spirits began attacking these Bone Spikes, quickly reducing them to dust.
The power of the Demon Extermination Spirits suppressed the Undead; this was an unchanging truth. Undead creatures started to emerge from the ground, summoned out of thin air, but faced with a large number of Demon Extermination Spirits, they couldn’t last very long. Curses and Death Attribute Magic were useless, meaning most of the Undead Castle’s usual tactics were ineffective.
When they realized that even methods like Plague Poison were of little use, they were left with no choice but to resort to direct attacks.
Those with more complex knowledge began using various elemental types of attacks. The simpler ones could only keep summoning White Bone or continue calling forth Undead Creatures to hold the line.
The battle thus unfolded at a very rapid pace. After only two days of attack, by the time the last batch of Demon Extermination Spirits remained, the magical assaults from their adversaries finally started to weaken.
A castle in the front lines was now drained of Magic Power, and hordes of Demon Extermination Spirits were climbing over the walls, unleashing their onslaught within. "Damn it, damn it all, if you’re not coming for me, I’m not playing this game anymore."
Saying this, the Undead Mage suddenly pushed out the Undead that were protecting him. Several tier-five Undead Creatures appeared, of course, the not-so-strong kind among their tier. The Undead Mage himself also broke out, trying to break through the siege.
"Do we need to intercept him?" Lin Yucha asked.
Du You shook his head, "Can’t be sure if it’s a trap, just let those Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves that we haven’t used yet go and try their luck. Also, are all the Undead in the surrounding mountains cleaned up yet? If there are corpses, have them brought out to me."
The previous assault wasn’t just focused on these towns; many Demon Extermination Spirits had rushed straight through the entrances where the Undead had appeared before, starting a massacre of the remaining Undead Creatures. As for more complex terrains, the Demon Extermination Spirits were natural nemeses of Evil Creatures, inherently possessing the ability to seek and lock onto such Evil Creatures.
This ability was usually not very useful, but here it proved to be very handy.
"We haven’t killed them all yet, but we did get a lot of corpses, piled up at the back."
Du You nodded, "I will summon some skeletons. Once the Demon Extermination Spirits are done, we can let the skeletons take over." Du You could see that these cities hadn’t prepared much in the way of Magic Power reserves.
Perhaps they never thought anyone could fight their way through and destroy so many of their Undead Creatures. Now, they had no chance to regret.
The attack by the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves left the Mage completely overwhelmed, and with the surrounding large number of Demon Extermination Spirits plus a numerical advantage, it wasn’t long before the Mage, unable to bear it any longer, used his last resort.
A crystal exploded on the ground, followed by a spreading cloud of ash-gray mist, instantly killing three Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves and significantly weakening the others. Unfortunately, after employing this move, the Undead Mage appeared severely drained.
The others couldn’t get there in time to help, and could only watch as the Undead Mage met his demise. The downfall of the first Undead Mage marked the beginning of the destruction of this Undead stronghold.
