They don't want me to try anymore.

"Tch, the old man's reaction is quick."

The surprise attack failed. Veronica raised an eyebrow, flew back into the air, and merged back into the countless small bats.

They swarmed so large that they covered half the sky, so many that they seemed to have dyed the sun a dark red.

As for which parts were illusions and which parts were actually her body, no one knows.

Veronica used this cover to evade attacks and launch surprise attacks, keeping Hyman busy.

Richard, not far away, was quite surprised.

This was the first time he had ever seen a female vampire fight with all her might in the real world.

To be honest, she's much stronger than I expected, and her fighting style is unpredictable and ever-changing, which is a real headache just thinking about it... Luckily, I'm not her enemy.

Although the battle was fierce, Richard did not intend to go up and help with the Ghostly Needle.

The main reason was that he and Veronica hadn't worked together much, and he was afraid of causing trouble.

Since there are already people fighting in close combat on the scene, his duty as a summoner should be to provide support from the perimeter.

And this task is not simple either...

Even when he was being harassed by Veronica, Hyman still displayed the strength expected of a high-level necromancer.

Besides the bone dragon that was spewing frost, spiders, skeleton soldiers, and a giant monster more than four meters tall, made up of the corpses of several different creatures, kept crawling out of the tomb that had just appeared out of thin air.

Fortunately, Richard also has quite a few summoned creatures.

Big Black, Dragonfly, Starfire, countless elemental creatures and Treants, all lined up in neat rows, clashed head-on with the undead army.

In an instant, dragons clashed, demonic insects and stitched-together monsters wrestled and rolled, and fire elementals began mass-producing ashes...

To be honest, this scene reminded Richard of the wonderful times he spent playing Warcraft with his classmates in high school.

Unfortunately, he couldn't afford to lose this game.

Seeing that his summoned creatures and the undead were locked in a stalemate, Richard decisively used his newly acquired skill—Vengeful Spirit!

Absorb the resentment left behind by the dead within a hundred meters to restore magical power!

This move would be of limited power against other opponents, but since the opponent is a group of undead creatures, then this move... is like two cows standing on their heads—pretty awesome!

After all, resentment can be considered a curse on the living, making undead creatures attack more powerfully when fighting the living. Therefore, necromancers generally do not deliberately eliminate the resentment of their minions.

So now, every time Hyman awakens a new soldier, he is indirectly replenishing Richard's mana, and Richard uses this to summon new elemental creatures and treants!

What does it mean to become stronger when faced with a stronger opponent? Well, I'm going to stick with you today!

Gradually, Richard gained the upper hand in this otherworldly "Warcraft battle".

In the distance, Hyman, who had just temporarily driven Veronica away with a large-scale freezing spell, nearly dropped his jawbone to the ground.

He truly hadn't expected that the fight between the man and woman in front of him would be so difficult!

Hyman originally thought that although Veronica had a great reputation, she was still young and weaker than him, so she shouldn't be difficult to deal with.

When they actually fought, he discovered that the opponent was as slippery as an eel when dodging attacks and as venomous as a snake when attacking. His experience was so rich that it reminded him of several old monsters of his age!

As for that Prince Connaught, Hyman originally thought that no matter how impressive his record was, after fighting Joseph for most of the day, he should have run out of magic by now.

With his years of accumulated power, he should have a clear advantage in both the quantity and quality of his forces. He even planned to mock his opponent midway through, saying, "My undead are endless, while your summoned creatures are dying every moment!"

But as the fight progressed and the other person became more and more energetic, as if they had just enjoyed a baby's sleep, Hyman himself felt his magic power waning.

Isn't this right?

He's clearly the high-ranking one, while his opponent is only a beginner! How did things turn out this way?

This can't go on like this!

The old necromancer gritted his teeth, knowing he had kicked a hornet's nest and would lose if he didn't do something.

With a sudden surge of determination, two black flames ignited within the skull, while a hand pulled a weapon from under his hip joint...

Monocle.

What is this?

Richard, standing some distance away, blinked, completely bewildered.

You're a skeleton, you don't even have eyeballs, what are you going to do with glasses?

Veronica, who was closer and more experienced, felt alarmed and quickly retreated.

At that very moment, Hyman shoved his glasses into the hole in his skull and peered at the swarm of bats.

The battlefield fell silent for a moment; there were no flashes of light or explosions, and not a single bat had died.

But soon, all the bats slowly landed on the ground, spread their wings, and fell asleep.

Amidst the swarm of bats, Veronica lay motionless on the ground, her eyes closed, her brows furrowed.

"!"

Richard was shocked.

Is Veronica asleep?

But what kind of spell is this? Hypnosis? Mental blockade? I've never heard of necromancers being good at this!

Moreover, there was no movement at all just now, and even the magical fluctuations were very weak. How did Hyman manage to do that?

opposite.

After making his successful strike, Hyman, as if holding a branding iron, quickly threw his monocle far away.

Clearly, this thing is a huge burden for him to use.

But it's worth it.

The two-on-one situation has turned into a one-on-one one, the offensive and defensive roles have changed, and he can now turn the tables and kill!

Hyman burst into laughter:

“Your Highness, now it’s just you and this old man left. If you are willing to surrender, this old man will not mind showing mercy.”

With laughter, several dark green halos swept across the entire area, and the power of all the undead creatures suddenly more than doubled!

Then Hyman himself, holding a staff, summoned several poisonous clouds, which gradually approached.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and feeling the immense pressure, Richard took a deep breath.

"We've really fallen behind... but surrendering to that old codger is out of the question, a pretty girl would be a better option~"

Hyman scoffed: "Ha, still spouting nonsense even when death is near."

"That's called being an optimistic friend!"

Before Richard could finish speaking, he stomped his foot and charged towards Hyman instead of retreating!

The host is detected to be in dire straits, triggering the trait "Wise Ruler Who Lost His Country".

All attributes are temporarily increased by 5%.

The host was detected to be filled with murderous intent, and the trait [Ten Years of Revenge] was triggered.

All attributes are temporarily increased by 5%.

At the same time, Richard silently recited in his mind:

Using the special ability [Serving the Emperor], the target is myself!

Use the trait "Source of Hatred" to taunt that bone dragon!

I need to take a leave of absence; I'll resume work tomorrow.

My supervisor assigned me this task at the last minute, and I've been working on it all night without success. I'll update again tomorrow...

Adding more words, adding more words, adding more words, adding more words, not Thanos, adding more words, adding more words, adding more words, adding more words, adding more words, adding more words, adding more words, adding more words, adding more words, adding more words.

Chapter 120 I still have men to fight over!

After all his attributes were boosted, Richard's speed increased dramatically.

The undead in front of him had been fighting for quite some time and had gotten used to his skills. But when he suddenly unleashed his cheat-like abilities, they were caught off guard and were all dodged.

Richard activated the "Save the King" ability, gaining 50% damage reduction for a short time. He simply used his magic shield to withstand the non-lethal attacks that were chasing him, and with this beastly mentality, he closed in on Hyman.

The old mage widened his non-existent eyes, once again marveling at the unexpected talent of this young prince; truly worthy of being the champion of the grand competition. He then swiftly raised his staff, releasing three illusory skull shadows the size of cartwheels, which flew towards Richard.

This spell is called Death Bite. It can devour life and also has a certain physical knockback effect. It is considered the signature spell of all necromancers from Bronze to Silver rank, and its usage frequency is comparable to that of elemental mages' fireball spell.

Of course, in Hyman's hands, the power of this spell was extraordinary.

He was certain that if Richard was as reckless as before and tried to withstand his attack, he would be badly injured, if not killed!

But just then...

"Roar... Roar?!"

A huge white shadow swooped down from the sky!

However, it was because Richard used his taunt ability that he interfered with the bone dragon that was engaged in a fierce melee with the big black dragon, causing it to change its next target to itself!
