Chapter 1198: Chapter 1198

As time passed, the remaining Demon Extermination Spirits gradually approached the limits of their endurance. However, due to the previous battles, there were not many Demon Extermination Spirits left. Behind them, a large number of Demonic Flame Skeletons walked over to take their place.

The Undead Mages no longer had time to count the number of Demon Extermination Spirits; the enemy seemed endless anyway.

Du You’s later summoned Demonic Flame Skeletons were not all converted into Demonic Flame Bone Dragons. Meanwhile, the Bone Dragons in the sky slowly approached, keeping watch from neither too close nor too far, ready to join the battle at any moment.

Of course, even without joining the battle, with these Bone Dragons in command, their own Demonic Flame Skeletons would be able to exhibit greater combat effectiveness. They naturally complemented each other well, and it was easier and more detailed for the Bone Dragons to command them. Du You even discovered that the Bone Dragons were able to precisely control the movement of each Demonic Flame Skeleton.

The unexpected change occurred at that moment. The remaining Undead Castles suddenly went all out, casting attack spells as if they cost no magic power. The Demon Extermination Spirits clinging to the outskirts were mostly killed on the spot, and even the distant skeletons suffered many losses.

Just then, a bright light shot into the sky and swept back and forth three times. Du You was startled to discover that his Bone Dragons, which were not too close, had five of them wiped out in an instant. That was the equivalent of 500,000 skeletons.

Had the Bone Dragons not been relatively distant from one another, the casualties from this wave would have been even greater.

After one attack, the light died down. But the power of that attack made Du You wary. He feared that even his three layers of defensive magic might not be able to withstand it.

Indeed, the attack power of weapons attached to large buildings was incomparable to individual combat strength.

"Look, they’re coming out, let’s hurry over and finish them off," Lin Yucha excitedly urged when she saw the Undead Mages appear. The wave of attacks had cleared all the surrounding Undead and Demon Extermination Spirits, providing these Undead Mages with a path forward. If they weren’t stopped, they would soon reach their confluence.

Du You held Lin Yushi back: "Wait, these Undead Mages are cunning and have twisted thinking. Don’t get close."

"Yes, Sister, have you forgotten what they prepared earlier?" The Bone Dragon, having seen the enemy’s weapon strength exhausted, did not approach but moved even further away from the previous castles.

Seeing that Du You and the others did not come over, the mood of the Undead Mages was thoroughly ruined. They used themselves as bait, and yet the enemy still didn’t take it. This caution was a bit too much.

"Damn it, forget them, let’s break out."

"No good, they are coming," suddenly, an Undead Mage shouted. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱

"Coming is good, isn’t it? We’re prepared, dammit, how can they do this?"

Because it wasn’t Du You and the others who were approaching but their Summoned Beasts. Lin Yushi replenished her remaining large-scale Demon Extermination Spirits and sent them all over. Lin Yucha’s Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves also charged out. Du You was more straightforward; aside from the bubbles, all other Summoned Beasts surged forward, including the revived Photon Elves.

Although Photon Elves weren’t much of a combat force, they did a fine job of bluffing people. Optical power created a multitude of illusions all around, and for a moment, the Undead Mages couldn’t tell which were real and which were fake.

Especially at the very front, once the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, as large as small hills, appeared, the Undead Mages realized they couldn’t escape.

The Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs unfurled their Heavenly Disaster clouds, shrouding the surroundings. In this icy, snowy place, Flowing Fire appeared on a grand scale for the first time. The damage from these flames wasn’t significant, but they were constantly draining the Mages’ limited Magic Power.

"Damn it, even if I die, I’ll take these Summoned Creatures with me. Summoned Beasts of such strength must be worth a lot."

The castle that had just attacked the flying Bone Dragons showcased its might once more. A beam of light appeared, sweeping across, followed by another light beam, another sweep. A majority of the Summoned Beasts Du You had sent out were killed in an instant. Even Du You’s own Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog was sliced into two.

Du You was startled, these foes had indeed hidden their true capabilities. Had he not been cautious, he might have suffered a surprise attack from them. Meanwhile, the Undead Mages revealed expressions of deep-seated gratification.

It was indeed their most powerful Undead Mage’s castle, also their most formidable weapon. Now, after these two strikes, it really was depleted of energy, given its limited reserves.

But to the dismay of the Undead Mages, they discovered that the enemies killed just moments ago, had resurrected in a mass of black fog, identical to before, completely unaffected.

"How could this happen, how could there be such a skill, I refuse to believe."

"It’s an illusion, definitely an illusion, all of it is fake, ah..." Shouting about illusions, one Mage ran wildly forward, only to be smashed into paste by the paw of the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog, which brought the others back to their senses.

Sure enough, there were those even more maniacal, being Undead Mages living there year-round, it would’ve been strange if they were mentally stable.

"Although these guys might not be all there in the head, their strength is truly remarkable, especially their desperate abilities. Even for Professionals of the same level, it’s easy to capsize in the gutter if one is not careful."

In the end, the desperate Mage managed to kill almost half of the remaining Summoned Beasts. After dying twice, they were truly dead this time. Even Xiaozi, the quickest and smartest flyer, was taken out by a sneak attack.

But that was the end of their resistance. All the Mages were dead; what followed was the clean-up. Du You and the others remained extremely cautious, deliberately avoiding entering those Undead Castles.

Indeed, the castles were riddled with traps. Perhaps, in their final moments, the foes deployed all their traps, resulting in an especially high number of Demonic Flame Skeleton losses. Luckily, these Demonic Flame Skeletons were merely crafted from corpses.

Since each of their cities had large corpse storage areas underneath, Du You could easily create a multitude of Demonic Flame Skeletons, should he wish to. However, Du You had no intention of staying in this world for long. There was no point in continuing to summon creatures when he was about to leave. But just as he was about to ignore the corpses, his expression suddenly changed.

Upon opening his panel, Du You looked at the prompt on the screen with surprise, "Damn, how could this happen, this is such bad timing." Du You saw a new task had been completed, but the reward for the task was somewhat laughable.
