Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 466 Silver Summoning, Manifestation of the Graveyard, Loot Overflowing!

As the encirclement of summoned creatures successfully closed in, Shen Chongyun prepared to launch an attack.

The protective array definitely has a warning effect; even the ranger who was still on night watch would call out to wake up the others after the attack began.

Therefore, the Shadow Doll and the Corpse Warrior were both far away at this moment.

Shen Chongyun began casting a spell, outlining the runes.

Dark Tide!

The Fox Tail Bandits were protected by a defensive magic array, so the spell could not be cast inside the shield. Therefore, Shen Chongyun chose to cast the spell on one side of the shield.

As the runes were successfully drawn, negative energy from the Shadowlands began to gather around the defensive shield.

The large-scale accumulation of negative energy quickly attracted the attention of the forest rangers and the warning array.

Something's up!

Although the ranger on night watch didn't find any signs of attack, his intuition told him that something was amiss.

The bald-headed sorcerer opened his eyes from meditation, and he also received a notification from the magic circle that energy was gathering nearby.

Without thinking twice, he quickly activated the shield and maxed out its value.

This shield value can withstand Black Iron-tier attacks for a while, whether melee or magical.

However, the one attacking them now is not Fang Zhou, a mage of the Iron rank, but Shen Chongyun, a Shadow Walker of the Silver rank.

While they were dawdling, the Dark Tide had already fully charged up.

boom!

The powerful burst of silver magic directly destroyed the shield of the defensive magic circle.

The shield has shattered, and it will take time to restart it.

The bald mage didn't have time to think. He directly activated the activation shield attached to his equipment and took out a scroll from his spatial equipment to activate it.

The other members of the Fox Tail bandit group were also awakened from their rest. They immediately grabbed their equipment and scattered in all directions, searching for traces of the enemy.

It must be said that this group of people reacted very quickly, but unfortunately, it was of little use.

As Shen Chongyun attacked, the shadow puppets surrounding them charged forward with the skeletal warriors.

Behind each Silver-tier Shadow Doll were several skeletal warriors.

Their energy surged at that moment, becoming incredibly intense.

"Silver Creature!!!"

A sharp-eyed ranger spotted the charging shadow puppet and screamed in alarm, his face turning pale.

"They have them here too!"

"Bang!"

At that moment, a [Shadow Breath] shot out from afar, directly hitting the bald mage who was still struggling to operate the defensive magic array.

The several energy shields on his body shattered one by one under the attack of the Shadow Breath, leaving only a dissipated mass of mana.

"what!"

Even though he had activated protective spells on his equipment and spell scrolls one after another, he still couldn't save his life.

After a short scream, the bald mage's chest was pierced by the Shadow Breath.

The terrifying magical power emanating from the Silver-tier Shadow Breath instantly killed him, destroying his internal organs.

o

The bald sorcerer collapsed to his knees, clutching the hole in his chest. His mouth trembled slightly as blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed from it.

"Bald!"

The knight commander's eyes were bloodshot with rage. The mage was his brother of over a decade, and now he was dead right before his eyes.

He was incredibly brave; even though he knew the enemy was far stronger than him, he still summoned the heavily armored war rhinoceros.

Anger had clouded his judgment, and now he was consumed by thoughts of revenge.

The knight commander mounted his heavily armored war rhinoceros, drew his lance, and charged toward the direction from which the spell was coming.

But Fangzhou and Shen Chongyun were thousands of meters away, and he couldn't possibly get there in a short time.

Instead, a shadow puppet in front of them was the first to come forward, the tall shadow puppet holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other.

"Die!"

The knight's eyes were bloodshot, and a powerful battle aura surged within his body.

The light of battle aura shone through the gaps in the armor and was also poured into the body of the mount beneath him, enhancing the heavily armored battle rhinoceros.

Under its master's command, the Black Iron-tier heavily armored war rhinoceros also unleashed its internal energy, generating immense power and skyrocketing its speed.

Charge forward bravely!

Battle energy condensed at the sharp tip of the lance, and with the high-speed charge of the mount, the attack power of this strike from a lower-ranking bronze knight was comparable to that of a mid-ranking bronze knight.

But with just this one strike, the knight, having lost the boost from his charge, was even less powerful than an ordinary warrior of the same rank.

Most importantly, this time the Knight Commander's opponent is not some Black Iron or Bronze level, but a genuine Silver-rank summoned creature, the Shadow Doll.

"boom!"

The lance collided with the Shadow Stone shield of the Shadow Doll, a clash of spear and shield, the immense force producing a tremendous roar.

The shadow puppet bent its legs slightly, and the shadow vortex beneath its armor burned fiercely, effortlessly blocking the knight's attack.

"what!"

The knight's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was like the wailing of a raven in the night.

Even with the strongest attack from his heavily armored war rhinoceros, he was easily stopped by the enemy.

The rider's hand was cracked from the impact.

The horse beneath him buckled at the ground, its muscles torn, and drops of blood seeping from beneath its fur.

A knight who loses his speed is essentially half dead.

"Pfft!"

The skeletal warriors following behind the shadow puppet didn't just stand by and watch. A bone spear shot out from behind, the sharp spear piercing through the heavy armored war rhinoceros under the knight commander's crotch.

The heavily armored war rhinoceros let out a painful neigh, its four hooves buckled and it collapsed to the ground, throwing the knight off as well.

The Shadow Doll, not one to back down, swung its sharp Shadow Stone Spear.

The Shadow Stone Spear was incredibly sharp under the influence of negative energy, its tip gleaming with a cold light.

The sharp spearhead pierced the knight's armor, pinning him to the ground.

The knight was pinned to the ground, not yet completely dead. His hands gripped the shadow puppet's spear with resentment, and he coughed up mouthfuls of blood, among which fragments of his internal organs could be seen.

But as soon as the Shadow Doll moved slightly, the Shadow Energy emanating from the spear killed it completely.

With the knight's death, none of the other rangers and assassins could escape either.

Without Shen Chongyun needing to make a move, Fangzhou used magic to kill the several combatants one by one.

Once the dust had settled, Fang Zhou rode his skeletal warhorse through the ruined camp of the Fox Tail bandits.

All eighteen members of the Fox Tail bandit gang were now dead.

Looking at the corpses of the Knight Commander and the bald mage, Fangzhou couldn't help but shake his head.

"You choose not to take the path to heaven, but insist on venturing into the gates of hell when there are none."

He passed away peacefully, without uttering a sound.

This encounter with the Fox Tail Bandits was the first time Fang Zhou's hands were stained with the blood of his own kind, but he felt completely calm.

The skeletal warriors were sent to gather the corpses back, and the enchanted equipment of the other corpses was removed. Because Shen Chongyun was present, the Ark did not allow the skeletal warriors to start "feeding" naked.

Shen Chongyun also checked the defensive magic array left in the camp.

Although the shield of this magic circle was shattered by his Shadow Frenzy, it is still in good condition overall.

The magic circle was indeed a scaled-down version; its overall size was about the size of a single-person tent.

Shen Chongyun didn't do much checking and handed him directly to Fang Zhou.

"Lieutenant Ark, I have recorded this battle on my personal terminal and compiled the results."

The remnants of the Fox Tail Bandit Gang have all perished here, which can be considered the end of a small matter for our Beast Fighting City.

At this point, Shen Chongyun patted Fang Zhou's shoulder with an amazed look and praised him highly: "I have a feeling that even without my help, you could take down this bandit gang by yourself."

"No wonder Hongyu and Ziwei have praised this monstrous genius for so long; I've never heard of such a thing before."

Fang Zhou was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and asked in surprise, "Lieutenant Colonel Shen Chongyun, you also have the surname Shen, and you're with Instructor Shen Hongyu and classmate Ziwei...?"

A slight smile appeared on Shen Chongyun's serious face. He nodded and said, "That's right, I am Hongyu's cousin."

After Ziwei, that stubborn girl, got injured, Hongyu asked me to search for some life crystals.

That's when he mentioned you to me.

Fang Zhou nodded in realization, saluted Instructor Shen Chongyun, and said, "I see."

We really have to thank you for providing those life crystals. They were a huge help to us.

Ziwei's condition is much better than before.

Shen Chongyun sighed, waved his hand at Fang Zhou, and said, "This little thing is not worth mentioning."

I was just transferred to the outpost, and I didn't know you were also training in my area.

Fortunately, you are strong and quick-witted, so you didn't suffer any problems during the bandit attack.

After receiving your request for help, I rushed over immediately.

Now, the mission is finally accomplished.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, he said to Fang Zhou, "You are a necromancer, so I won't take these bandits' corpses back. You can deal with them yourself."

I will truthfully report the achievements of this campaign to wipe out the Fox Tail Bandit Group to the military headquarters.

This is another great achievement, and I estimate that you will be promoted to lieutenant soon.

The bounty for their 18 individuals combined is nearly ten thousand magic stones.

This is a considerable amount of income, which will be credited to your personal terminal account in the form of contribution points.

And the portable defensive magic array I just gave you, you can use it yourself when you're out and about.

Although it cost a little more magic stones, the extra layer of protection made it worthwhile.

Following that, Shen Chongyun went on and on, teaching Fang Zhou many hunting techniques for the Beast Mountain Range.

It wasn't until his personal terminal emitted a buzzing notification sound that his expression changed. He saluted Fangzhou and said, "Alright, Fangzhou, I'll head back now."

Please take good care of yourself.

Fang Zhou returned the salute with a serious expression and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Shen, please rest assured."

Thank you for your help, and have a safe journey!

After seeing off Lieutenant Colonel Shen Chongyun, Fang Zhou began to collect his spoils of war according to his own ideas.

He temporarily preserved the corpses of the Bronze Knight Commander and the bald mage, hoping to develop other artificial undead in the future.

The remaining corpses of ordinary combatants were transformed one by one into Black Iron-ranked Corpse Warriors by the Ark using secret techniques.

A fire was set ablaze over the camp, after which the Ark led the skeletal warriors away from the place.

The blood moonlight in the Conflict Wasteland is far more intense than that in the Corpse Hills.

While the main body was wiping out the Fox Tail Bandits and reaping considerable gains, the skeletal clone did not waste any time during this period. Instead, it began to digest the rich legacy left behind by the Zombie Lord.

In Fangzhou's eyes, although these so-called undead territories were his own, he always had to be wary of others.

The danger of a sneak attack.

In terms of safety, the cemetery of corpses that you summon yourself is safer.

After the Ark defeated the zombie lord and absorbed its Blood Moon Blessing and lord status, it was officially recognized by the Blood Moon Will of this warring wasteland.

This also means that he can summon the undead army from his cemetery to this fragment of the undead realm without incurring any cost.

In addition, after consuming a certain amount of corpse essence and soul power, he can also project the buildings in his corpse cemetery into this territory.

Although the Ark's scavenger graveyard currently lacks arrow towers and a moat, it still boasts a tall city wall and a sturdy lord's palace for support.

With city walls blocking the way, in the undead realm where there are basically no normal siege equipment, as long as the gates are locked, there is only one way to enter one's castle: flying undead.

However, apart from bronze undead like ghosts, flying undead are usually high-level undead creatures.

The Ark is currently located in a place inhabited by low-level undead creatures whose main fighting force is plague zombies.

The likelihood of encountering high-level undead creatures such as vampires, liches, and ghost dragons is low.

Soon, after the undead portal was set up, a vast army of nearly 50,000 undead warriors was summoned to the Wasteland of Strife by the Ark.

The Ark directly entrusted the training of troops to Tryndamere, Varus, and other skeletal guards, with the overall commander being the berserker hero Olaf.

Of course, the other skeletal commanders also trained alongside Olaf.

After all, they are all his generals. How can we manage if no one learns how to lead troops into battle?

Although the intelligence of most of the corpse guards was really—almost nonexistent, not much better than that of a human infant.

But at least they should be able to imitate. Hopefully, by following Olaf, they can learn something from him gradually.

Then, the Ark arrived at the Lord's Hall in the Corpse Cemetery, where it was the only place to build new structures.

He has now accumulated a great deal of soul power and basic resources such as bones and flesh.

Having arrived in this war-torn wasteland where zombie-like undead are very active, and especially after killing and devouring the Plague Zombie Lord, Ark now has a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of zombie-like undead creatures.

In other words, with the current knowledge reserves in Arknights, we can try to build a brand new zombie-themed unit building.

Based on Ark's combat experience over this period, both the Iron-tier Skeleton Warriors and the Bronze-tier Skeleton Knights are his formidable opponents.

A masterpiece.

However, the production of Corpse Knights is extremely difficult and subject to many restrictions, making it difficult to achieve mass production in a short period of time.
