Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 138 The boss behind the scenes
[Mission objective: Defeat the Lion Guard (0/12)]

[Mission Reward: Amon’s Letter of Introduction]

"The long-awaited mission has finally arrived. I can finally find something to do."

Most customers can leave after picking up the goods by just walking forward. There are stairs leading up the stairs, and after walking through a small alley, they will reach the main road of the town, which is a bit safer.

After Wang Yue caused trouble, the Lion Guards quickly gathered, and their number far exceeded the mission target.

Lion men wearing black coats emerged from the front and back, holding iron rods as weapons. Being level 20 was a huge advantage for them, as their health and attack power far exceeded those of level 19 characters.

"It's a bit troublesome, but fortunately their skills are not strong enough."

Lionmen are also a race created by Wang Yue. Their basic skill is [Strength Enhancement]. High-level lionmen can also learn skills corresponding to professions, usually warriors.

There is no threat if they don't get close. The best strategy Wang Yue could think of was to turn into a turret and defend on the spot.

"Dead Soul Summons, Skeleton Mermaid."

The blood mermaid's bone fragments come in handy here. The skeleton mermaid can cast [Ice Arrow] to slow down the enemy and buy more summoning time for Wang Yue.

Just as the two guards in front of Wang Yue attacked first, he was forced to interrupt the second spell and pick up his weapon to barely fight back.

[Damage received: 80 (block)]

[Broken tendons: Reduce movement speed by 50%, and your feet will feel numb]

[Duration: 15 seconds]

Wang Yue could not have imagined that the opponent's skill was to step on her feet. After being stepped on by the huge lion, her feet instantly lost consciousness.

"Despicable lion man, actually using such a trick."

Wang Yue also used skills to fight back. The health of the level 20 lionmen had reached 600 points, but using [Bleeding Heart Thorns] alone could not prevent them from fighting, and they would continue to be beaten.

The two guards cooperated with each other, one of them used [Strength Boost] on his companion, allowing his iron rod to even break through Wang Yue's defense, while causing a terrifying output of 160 points.

After resisting for less than ten seconds, Wang Yue's health bar was greatly reduced, and his hands and feet were numb due to the lion man's strength.

However, during these ten seconds, the [Bleeding] effect had already deducted a total of 200 health points. Combined with the damage caused by the skill, the two guards eventually fell down due to excessive bleeding.

"There's no chance to rest, let's do something ruthless."

The most lethal of Wang Yue's summons is the Skeleton Snowman, but he is now at low health and will die if he is hit by an [Avalanche].

So the next summon can only be the agile Skeleton Hound.

The nimble hounds can bite the lion-men on the back, and even if they are extremely powerful, they will be helpless against enemies they cannot catch.

Relying on the harassment of the undead, Wang Yue used [Dark Healing] to slowly restore his health.

He also found time to summon the Skeleton Mermaid to continue to slow down the Lion Man's pace, giving the hounds more space to attack.

“Although the harassment was successful, the real progress still depends on me.”

The Skeleton Hound's characteristics are agility, but its attack and health are very low, and the 20 points of damage per attack is just a tickle.

Wang Yue still has to do it himself. [Soul Extraction] plus [Bleeding Heart Thorn] can continuously cast skills, and he can disguise himself as a wizard who is good at summoning.

However, the battle is still very dangerous. If the lion man catches the opportunity, the hound will be smashed to pieces with a stick. At the same time, the skeleton mermaid has limited mana. After casting five [Ice Arrows], it can only stand there in a daze and become a fragile skeleton target.

Wang Yue could not face more than two lion guards head-on. Even if there was only one, he had to use his rapier to block the opponent's iron stick.

"We agreed to only hit 12 people, you can't cheat."

Whenever the opponent's health is only 20%, the guard will either pretend to be dead or fall down with a scream. At the same time, Wang Yue's task count will be increased by one, indicating that he has defeated a target.

After challenging twelve second-level guards, Wang Yue was surrounded by broken bones. He was sweating profusely, and his clothes were torn in several places.

"I've lost a lot this time. I didn't have many blood shark bone fragments to begin with, and I spent a lot of demon dog bone fragments. I really don't know what the next task will be."

After defeating the twelve guards, the other lion men stopped moving forward, but still blocked the exit stairs.

The lion-men behind Wang Yue spread out to both sides, and a goblin with only half of his body left walked out of the shadows.

[Amon: The ruler of the underground world of Freetown, commanding a large number of orcs]

【grade:??】

“Dear guest, I am very sorry that you had such a bad experience.”

Amon waved his hand forward, and a lion man came to Wang Yue holding a parchment scroll and ink, and behind him was a wounded silver werewolf dragged by an iron chain.

"I hope she can use her freedom to earn your forgiveness. I look forward to your next visit."

The boss of the underground world turned and left. The silver werewolf in front of him was Finko, whom Wang Yue had just killed. He squatted down and looked at the resurrected Finko seriously, totally unable to believe it.

"It's impossible for an NPC to trick the system. The Silver Wolf Clan actually has a resurrection skill. No wonder she didn't say what her characteristics are."

Finke's name had already been written on the contract. Relying on the system detection, Wang Yue knew that the parchment had not been tampered with in any way, so she wrote the word "William" with confidence.

The slave brand was engraved on Finke's head. The severe pain made her scream and the wolf hair on her body stood up.

"William's inscription is still the best. It works quickly and is painless."

There is still a difference between slave summons and pets. It is more like a contract model for summons. They can only obey Wang Yue’s unilateral orders and cannot disobey them.

After gaining control of Finko, Wang Yue was able to check out the Silver Wolf Clan's basic skill [Resurrection], the effect of which was to consume lifespan and resurrect at the place where the wolf hair was left.

[Mission completed: Get Amon's letter of introduction]

"Our boss has something to say to you, please keep it in your pocket."

After handing the envelope to Wang Yue, the guard returned to the venue to guard it. The staff began to clean up the battle field. The two slaves belonging to Wang Yue lowered their heads and walked behind him.

However, the charm of the letter of introduction was greater than that of the wolf girl. Wang Yue couldn't wait to open the letter of introduction, and a new task popped up immediately.

[Mission Objective: Meet with Mayor Ross]

[Task Reward: Candidate List]

Fortunately, Wang Yue opened the letter of introduction and read it carefully, otherwise he would have just regarded this task as a simple errand job.

[Dear mayor, this is the strongest adventurer I sent. ]

[I want him to represent the underground world in the human expedition, and I will also provide the army with 50 gold coins. I hope the expedition goes smoothly.]

"You just can't change your habit of cheating people, right? I forgive you, but you're still setting a trap for me."

Wang Yue looked at the letter helplessly. He really needed to contact the mayor, but he didn't want to be someone else's free representative.

He stood there feeling very upset and couldn't think of a good solution.
