Chapter 1642: Chapter 1642

The Death Qi Shield of the Lich King remains a very effective defensive skill, with even stronger defensive effects. The skill comes with a passive counterattack, but after experimentation, Du You was not very optimistic about this ability.

Because the range of this counterattack is not very large, it has to be triggered when an attack is close to the Lich King.

This skill is likely targeted at melee enemies, but after reaching the seventh tier, even a warrior will generally not be that close in melee distance. So this skill is probably designed to counter assassins. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩

If an assassin-type enemy attacks, they will be directly countered by this skill, which is quite effective.

Of course, whether assassin-type enemies have special abilities, no one knows.

The Bone Arrow and Corpse Explosion did not change in appearance; they still look the same as before. But after testing, Du You confirmed that these two skills are indeed different from before.

The Bone Arrow is more flexible, it can be released singly, in large quantities, or can change size for use. The accompanying law enhances the power of the Bone Arrow to a terrifying level. Similarly, this Bone Arrow can be directly released from the bone or can emerge from underground. In summary, the attack methods are much more versatile.

The Corpse Explosion is similar, with the addition of laws. But Du You discovered something not mentioned in the skill description, which is that Corpse Explosion can explode in mid-air. In other words, it can be used without a corpse.

However, using it this way reduces its power by over fifty percent, and the consumption does not decrease at all.

This usage is basically only useful for sneak attacks.

The Finger of Death has increased its continuous damage; even if it doesn’t kill the enemy instantly, the death law continues to cling like maggots to the bone, constantly affecting the enemy, and it’s very difficult to remove.

The Mana Absorption effect is stronger, able to directly devour an enemy’s divine power, and not only the divine power but also the laws will burn, causing even greater pain.

However, Du You found that if the enemy’s divine power level is higher than the Lich King’s, it is difficult to absorb it, and there might even be backlash from one’s own divine power, which will need to be paid attention to in future battles.

Simultaneously, the cooldown time for Mana Absorption has been reduced from ten minutes to five minutes.

The two new skills are Resentful Spirit Entanglement and Create Witchcraft Priest. Resentful Spirit Entanglement directly targets the soul, coming with a soul law. The effect of this skill is very effective.

The effect is very similar to Lin Yushi’s Soul Spikes, but the effects are somewhat different. The specific effects need to be experimented with later.

Create Witchcraft Priest skill truly makes the Lich King worthy of the kingly name; previously, it could only control ordinary undead, but now it can finally create undead creatures suitable for itself.

However, the used corpses cannot be too ordinary. After the Lich King’s experiments, Du You finally discovered that the corpses must reach the sixth tier. Corpses below the sixth tier cannot withstand the Lich King’s own power.

Moreover, the corpses cannot be ordinary; they must be humanoid and must be magic-class professions. Whether mages or priests, it doesn’t matter, but there’s no way for warrior-type professions.

This indirectly limits the number of witchcraft priests.

However, the abilities that these witchcraft priests have are not bad. On one hand, they can accelerate the recovery of the Lich King’s divine power, which is somewhat similar to Lin Yushi. On the other hand, these priests can independently combine and form magic arrays for greater power. How powerful they actually are, Du You does not know.

But it can be anticipated that these priests can mobilize more laws through magic arrays.

Next, is the last summoned beast, which is Du You’s Dark Vine Demon Emperor.

Dark Vine Demon Emperor: Mutation from original dark plant. Requires 8 hours to resummon after death. (Level 66, 10 stars)

Dark divine power: 100%

Skills: Rooting, Regeneration, Suction Vines, Dark Mist, Toughness, Life Absorption, Limb Reattachment, Parasitic Vines, Light of Life, Light of Destruction

Rooting: Roots into the ground, water flow, or any place with energy, rapidly absorbing divine power. Can root into enemies. Actively rooting enhances law manipulation ability.

Regeneration: Vine plants have strong vitality and can regenerate quickly after damage.

Suction Vines: Mutated vines created by the Dark Vine Demon Emperor, capable of powerful suction to hold enemies tightly. Weak enemies will be devoured, becoming nourishment to supplement the Dark Vine Demon Emperor’s power.

Dark Mist: Toxic mist carried by the vines themselves, with toxicity, paralysis, hallucination, and weakening abilities. The mist can reduce law resistance capabilities. The longer one stays within the mist, the more severe the effect.

Toughness: Vines of the Dark Vine Demon Emperor have extraordinary toughness, with innate runes that enhance resilience.

Life Absorption: Enemies entangled by the vines have their life absorbed, with stamina and divine power greatly draining during the process.

Limb Reattachment: The vine plants have strong vitality, and as long as there remains a segment with origin power not destroyed, the Dark Vine Demon Emperor can resurrect by absorbing its power. Each use consumes a large amount of reserve life force.

Parasitic Vines: Mutated vines created by the Dark Vine Demon Emperor which can parasitize and grow on or inside an enemy, absorbing great amounts of magic power and life force during growth, ultimately replacing the enemy’s existence. After the enemy’s death, the host will be controlled by the parasitic vines and become a puppet of the Dark Vine Demon Emperor, continuing to fight for it. Cooldown time is 6 hours.

Light of Life: The Dark Vine Demon Emperor can condense surplus life force into the Light of Life, actively releasing it when needed, for self-recovery. It can also be released to heal others. For life forms below the seventh tier, the Light of Life can replenish life force and even extend the life span to some extent.

Light of Destruction: The Dark Vine Demon Emperor’s vines have a layer of special dark light ball attached, effective in breaking law defenses. It can be released from afar, but with weakened power.

After breaking through, the body of the Dark Vine Demon Emperor has grown even larger.

At its smallest, it can shrink to be held in one hand, while at its largest, its body can exceed the size of a normal star, which is not the diffusion form like the Photon Elf’s.

If we speak of the actual size, the Dark Vine Demon Emperor is probably the largest among Du You’s subordinates. In this regard, even his Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs can only bow in admiration.
