Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 5 Facing the Undead Legion

Undead are evil creatures born from the power of the dead.

In the Dark Continent, the number of undead is extremely large.

They exist all over the world.

They can be found even in barren deserts, frigid ice fields, and even boundless seas.

The dead are most active, especially at night.

At night, countless undead creatures that slumber underground awaken.

There are many types of undead, including skeletons, corpses, ghosts, zombies, abominations, and so on.

Ordinary undead creatures have chaotic consciousness and almost no intelligence.

Generally speaking.

Only high-level undead that reach level seven or above possess a certain level of intelligence.

Once they reach the King rank, the intelligence of the undead is no less than that of humans.

……

There were several thousand undead creatures attacking.

Their presence can be seen in the sky and on the ground, vast and mighty like a black tide.

The scene was even more shocking than the swarm of vampire mosquitoes.

"A wealth of experience!"

Lin Yi said to the group of elven swordsmen and archers, "Fight freely, but be sure to protect yourselves."

Thousands of undead creatures, mostly low-level.

There are only a few dozen undead creatures that have reached the intermediate level.

With Lin Yi, an eighth-tier high-level mage, present, this undead legion poses no threat to his territory.

But the numbers are what they are.

The Tree of Life has the ability to revive elven units.

However, Lin Yi inquired with the system and learned that while elven units can be revived, it also consumes energy crystals. The amount consumed is equivalent to that used during training.

What Lin Yi needs most right now is energy crystals.

Naturally, no one wants to see any elven units die unexpectedly.

The elven swordsmen and archers responded to Lin Yi's command in unison. Instead of attacking rashly, they gathered not far in front of Lin Yi.

Compared to annihilating this undead army, they valued the safety of their own Elf King more.

Soon, thousands of the dead poured into the square.

And it charged straight toward Lin Yi and the others.

The first to arrive were the undead creatures with the ability to fly, mostly avian undead, and a few ghosts that appeared as smoke.

Compared to undead creatures with physical forms, ghosts are the most troublesome.

These undead are invisible and intangible, and are immune to almost all physical attacks.

Of course, there are many ways to subdue ghosts.

Such as light magic, secret arts of the soul realm, and so on.

The former, in particular, is not only effective against ghosts, but also against virtually all types of undead.

Faced with the approaching undead, the twelve elven archers launched the first attack. They skillfully drew their bows and fired elven arrows, glowing with green light, into the sky.

The sound of arrows piercing the air was sharp and shrill.

The twelve arrows, like twelve green lightning bolts, instantly traversed hundreds of meters, striking their targets with unparalleled precision.

The undead creature that was hit suddenly exploded.

Ghosts screamed and turned into ashes and dissipated.

Even the undead creatures with physical forms were forced to disintegrate, turning into countless fragments that fell from the sky.

The arrows of the elven archers contain pure life and natural magic, a power that has a certain restraining effect on the undead. This restraint is particularly pronounced when there is a significant level difference.

Even the soul fire within them was forcibly dispersed.

The sound of something cutting through the air rose and fell in waves...

The elven archers moved in perfect unison, arrow after arrow flying from their fingertips. Their long-range shooting allowed them to fire even further.

The powerful strikes made their arrows even more powerful.

Furthermore, the elven archers were all exceptional archers, almost always hitting their targets with deadly accuracy. In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred flying undead creatures were killed by the elven archers.

Lin Yi followed suit.

He waved his wand, and huge fireballs flew towards the undead creatures high in the sky.

The fireball was over two meters in diameter.

Burning with azure flames.

Although fireball is a low-level spell, when cast by Lin Yi, its power is no less than that of a high-level spell.

Boom boom boom boom...

Fireballs exploded high in the sky, bursting forth with light even more dazzling than fireworks.

The scorching waves of fire engulfed everything around them.

Immediately, a large number of undead creatures were ignited and quickly burned to ashes.

At the same time, the undead army's ground forces also rushed over, and what greeted them first were walls of fire over twenty meters high.

The dead know nothing of fear.

They charged toward the wall of fire one after another.

Some of the more intelligent undead tried to bypass the fire walls, but Lin Yi didn't give them that chance. He waved his wand repeatedly, creating even more fire walls in the direction the undead army was advancing.

A large number of firewalls are arranged in a curved pattern.

It was like a giant funnel, trying to stuff the entire undead army inside.

However, the number of undead creatures was still too large.

As large numbers of undead creatures rushed into the wall of fire, the elemental magic contained within it was rapidly consumed, and its destructive power was quickly reduced.

Finally, some undead creatures broke through the fire wall.

They charged towards Lin Yi and the others, their bodies ablaze with flames.

Now it was finally the elven swordsman's turn to strike.

They traversed dozens of meters in an instant, their elven swords flashing with beautiful streaks of light. With each strike, an undead creature was instantly slain.

The strength of a sixth-tier being is far beyond what these low-level undead can withstand.

"roar!!"

A beast-like undead roared and pounced on an elven swordsman.

This is a ghoul.

It is about three meters long, with sharp claws and teeth, and its level has reached the fifth rank.

There are not many undead creatures of this level in this undead army.

The elven swordsman dodged the ghoul's attack with a swift movement, and with a backhand slash, struck the ghoul's neck. Accompanied by a sound like metal clashing, the ghoul's head was cleanly severed.

Despite suffering such a severe blow, the ghoul did not die.

Instead, it used its claws to hold its fallen head and prepared to reattach it.

This scene perfectly demonstrates the undead nature of undead creatures.

What is fatal to most intelligent beings is nothing to undead creatures.

The fatal flaw of undead creatures is the soul fire within their bodies.

Unless the Soulfire dissipates, undead creatures are very difficult to kill.

Even if their bodies are destroyed, as long as their soul fire remains, undead creatures have a chance to revive and be reborn.

The elven swordsman gave the ghoul no chance to reassemble its body. With a powerful strike, her damage increased dramatically, she pierced the ghoul's head with her elven sword. At the same time, the sword tip erupted with forcibly dispelling the ghoul's soul fire.

Only then did the ghoul collapse to the ground with a thud.

Scattered around the corpse were many fragments of eerie green soul fire, as well as a dozen or so burst energy crystals.

The higher the monster's level, the more energy crystals it drops.
