Chapter 219 Counterattack

Just as he commanded the vengeful spirit to quickly throw Gremy away.

"boom!!"

A deafening explosion rang out.

"Pfft!!" Richard suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his head throbbing as if it were about to explode, and he became unsteady on his feet, swaying precariously.

After the smoke and dust in the center of the field dissipated, a large crater several meters deep was clearly visible. At the bottom of the crater was a huge, charred mass of flesh. Although its face was no longer recognizable, it was easy to tell from its shape that it was obviously not Gremy's body.

Clearly, this is Richard's summoned undead creature—the body of a vengeful spirit.

The charred mountain of flesh represents the vengeful spirits who hate and die gloriously.

The death of his own undead summons caused Richard to suffer a severe backlash!

The Blood Bone Puppet struggled to its feet from the ground more than ten meters away.

Fortunately, although the Blood Bone Puppet looked terrible, it survived.

Richard, enduring a headache that felt like a craniotomy, turned his head to look at the Blood Bone Puppet not far away. He saw that it was damaged in many places all over its body, and seven or eight of its ribs were broken, but the bones in its legs and hands were intact, so it had retained most of its fighting power.

The Blood Bone Puppet, having just received Richard's order to retreat immediately, immediately retreated several meters away from the explosion's epicenter.

Otherwise, they will most likely end up like the vengeful spirits.

After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Richard suddenly shuddered!

He was shocked to find three consecutive notification messages in the Inspiration panel:

[Gained 45899 energy points.]

[Gained 46532 energy points.]

[Gained 67883 energy points.]

This seemed to make Richard realize something.

"Master, are you alright?" Stephania ran over in a panic and helped Richard up.

This was the first time she had seen her usually wise and decisive master, Richard, so badly injured.

"Stephena, I'm fine. Put on your hood, otherwise it won't look good if the gray dwarves see us." Although Richard had a splitting headache, it didn't affect his thinking. He was still very meticulous and immediately gave her instructions.

Night elves and grey dwarves are mortal enemies. If Stephana's appearance is exposed, I'll have to spend even more time explaining myself.

Such unnecessary things should be avoided as much as possible.

"Yes, Master."

Richard thought for a moment, then took out three bottles from his pocket in turn—red, blue, and green—pulled out the stoppers, and poured them all into his mouth, one after another.

Instantly, a cool sensation spread from my stomach to my limbs and bones, and the splitting headache subsided considerably.

However, he will probably still be unable to perform witchcraft in the short term, as he will be unable to concentrate on drawing runes.

My victory just now was really a bit of a fluke.

Or rather, there was a significant element of luck involved.

The opposing red-scaled lizardman wizard, named Gremi, possessed high-level first-class strength even without transforming.

After its mutation, its strength reached the top level of the first tier.

If I hadn't created the Blood Bone Golem, I would have been utterly defeated this time.

Thinking back on it now, Richard still felt lingering fear.

"Stephena, go and get the pouches from those two grey-robed men," Richard whispered.

It wasn't that Richard was in such a hurry to loot the spoils of war, but rather that he wanted to see if he could find anything useful from the enemy, such as magic crystals.

"Yes, Master."

After a rustling sound on the two grey-robed corpses, Stephania handed Richard two long bags.

Upon opening both pouches, I was surprised to find that, in addition to a large number of bottles and jars of commonly used potions, each pouch also contained several magic crystals, as well as some valuable items such as fire crystals and earth crystals.

They're very wealthy!

This delighted Richard, and his expression softened considerably, as if he had received a windfall.

It's a pity that the leader, the gray-robed man Gremi, self-destructed, destroying all his belongings!

Otherwise, I estimate I could have gained even more.

Richard took out two magic crystals from his waist pouch and handed the two pouches to Stephanie for safekeeping. He then walked quickly toward the blood-bone puppet beside him.

"Click!"

Richard opened the dual-channel energy slot located inside the Bloodbone Puppet's spine and took out two high-grade magic stones that had turned white.

The magic stone will gradually change color, becoming almost pure white, only when it is close to running out of energy.

Moreover, a magic stone that has run out of energy has another characteristic: if you squeeze it with your hand, it will easily crumble into white powder.

Richard placed two magic crystals, each the size of a quail egg and radiating intense energy fluctuations, into the energy slot and clicked them into place.

The next second, the Blood Bone Puppet gave off a completely different feeling.

Well, if the Blood Bone Puppet seemed a bit listless before, now it feels like it's had a good meal and is full of energy. Although its injuries are still there, its spirits are much better!

A smile finally appeared on Richard's calm face.

The vengeful spirit, abhorring the killing, suffered a backlash from the witchcraft and is now unable to perform witchcraft for a short period of time.

But the battle is not over yet.

He glanced at Fana and Gorkan, who were standing nearby, and saw that they were already struggling to hold on.

Therefore, in terms of combat, I can only rely on the Blood Bone Puppet for now.

Theoretically, the Blood Bone Puppet's combat power could increase slightly after the energy source was changed. I had previously calculated that if the two high-level magic stones were replaced with magic crystals, the combat power could increase by 5%-10%.

Once everything was ready, Richard turned his attention back to Fana.

-

Inside the Dessol Villa.

"Huh! Gremi actually lost?" Nicole raised an eyebrow, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He could clearly sense that his deputy, Gremi, had completely lost his life force.

As a priestess of the Azure Fire, she has always been very clear about the aura of her subordinates.

"It seems something must have happened to Grace. I need to finish this quickly so I can go check on her." Nicole glanced down at Disol, who was lying on the ground, her expression indifferent.

Dessol's clothes were tattered, and his limbs showed an unnatural twisting at the joints. His internal injuries were probably more serious, as he kept vomiting large amounts of blood.

His expression was one of extreme pain, and he seemed unable to speak.

Clearly, the culprit behind all this is Nicol, who is over two and a half meters tall.

"Old drunkard, it seems I can't chat with you any longer. I have things to do over there. I'll send you back to the embrace of your Titan father god now."

Nicol slightly raised his right hand, aiming it at Didisol's brow, and a black ball of light the size of a quail egg suddenly appeared at the tip of his right index finger.

The ball of light was unusually dark and bright, and it rapidly absorbed the surrounding free dark element energy particles, expanding to the size of an egg in the blink of an eye.

Although Disol was seriously injured, his instincts still reminded him that he was in mortal danger and that he might die if he did not dodge the attack.

On the grass, Dissol struggled barely, trying to dodge Nicol's attack.

The next second, a black ray burst forth from the black ball of light at Nicol's fingertip, shooting towards Dissol's brow at lightning speed, like a black streak of light, leaving no time to dodge.

"Pfft!"

Disos collapsed to the ground and never woke up again!

"Lord Dissol!!" Dissol's family members were shouting at the top of their lungs.

Especially the pair of twins that Richard had met, they cried their eyes out!

"How noisy! Since you miss Dessol so much, why don't you all go down and keep him company?"

The noise seemed to have offended Nicol, who roared in anger.

With a flick of its claws, a wisp of emerald green flame appeared out of thin air and quickly expanded into a small crystal, but the surging energy contained within it was something that ordinary people could feel.

"Whoosh!" Nicole flicked her fingernail!

This emerald-green crystal, like a bolt of emerald lightning, shot swiftly into the weeping crowd of Dessol's family.

"Boom!!" Upon hitting the ground, the crystal exploded instantly, forming a huge emerald green fire ring that spread in all directions.

"Ahhh!!"

Instantly, all of Disol's concubines were transformed into burning fireballs, their screams echoing throughout the air.

At that moment, a six- or seven-year-old gray dwarf, wiping away tears, crawled out through a crack in the corner of the wall.

-

Inside Richard's villa.

While Grace and Irene, two high-ranking spider women, were fighting on the sidelines, they clearly had the upper hand and were dominating Fana and Gorkan.

However, Fana is skilled in shadow cultivation, and at this moment, she is surrounded by hundreds of lush, growing vines, with Gorkan constantly providing support from the side with his water-based sorcery.

The battle was fierce, and the two sides were deadlocked for a time.

Grace and Irene were unable to reach Gremi in time until the earth-shattering explosion was heard.

The two spider women only realized that Richard's side had actually killed three of Nicol's men, and their expressions immediately changed.

"Irene, defend me with all your might!"

"Sister, do you mean to..."

"This is the only way to end the battle as soon as possible," Grace said gravely.

She had been convinced that Nicol's second-in-command, Gremi, would gain the upper hand, end the battle early, and then come to their aid.

But what we're getting now is the exact opposite result.

This forced her to use her trump card, no longer caring about her mental strength.

The young human necromancer on the other side is also severely injured. If we can act quickly enough, we should be able to control the situation.

Otherwise, once that necromancer has rested and recovered, the pressure on our side will be much greater.

After seeing Grace nod, Irene quickly took out a small black glass bottle, smashed it on the ground, and immediately a cloud of black smoke rose up.

She stretched out her hands, fingers spread, and with a slight flick of her fingers, the black smoke suddenly increased in size.

The black mist, like a lump of clay being kneaded and shaped, grew taller and wider, forming a thick, circular wall that stretched across her and Grace's path.

Fana and Gorkan exchanged a glance, then focused their attention once more on the black mist.

"I'll give it a try!" Gorkan said immediately.

"Whoosh!"

Gorkan's water arrow struck the black mist, creating a gap in it.

But in an instant, after a surge of black mist, as if some mysterious force existed within the mist wall, the gap was immediately smoothed out, and everything was restored to its original state.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Gorkan refused to believe it and cast two more water arrows in succession, but the effect was exactly the same as before, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, without causing a ripple.

This immediately left Gorkan speechless with shock!

This was the most powerful spell he could muster.

How can we fight like this!

It has absolutely no effect!

Fana, behind the green vines, had a solemn expression. She had just sensed the surging energy within the black mist and knew something was wrong!

Clearly, the opponent is preparing a powerful spell within the black mist. I either need to interrupt them in advance or cast a defensive spell of equal power.

Otherwise, the consequences could be dire!

but

Judging from Gorkan's water arrow attack just now, the opponent's strange fog wall is indeed incredibly powerful.

Fana gritted her teeth, forcefully pulled off an emerald pendant hanging from her chest, opened her palm, held it flat against her chest, and began to chant a spell rapidly.

Countless pale green specks of light in the surrounding air began to converge, forming a pale green energy vortex with the emerald in Fana's hand as the apex.

"Crack!" Seemingly unable to withstand such surging energy, the emerald shattered instantly!

No! It turned out to be a tiny sprout growing from a shriveled seed, which shattered the gemstone.

The new shoots are growing rapidly!

Rapid expansion!

It grew rapidly!

Gorkan swore he had never seen plants grow so quickly!

At this moment, a dark green vine, writhing like the tentacles of a giant octopus, lashed fiercely at the black mist wall like a whip!

Inside the black mist.

Grace, standing next to Irene, was muttering incantations, her hands clasped together at her chest, her fingers twitching slightly, and the black light between her hands growing brighter and brighter.

"Boom!!" Irene's face turned pale.

That whip strike just now caused Irene's hands to tremble, and the black mist wall surged.

"Boom! Boom!!" The sound of the dark green vines lashing out repeatedly rang out.

"Sister, are you done yet? I can't hold on much longer!" Irene trembled all over, and sweat poured down her forehead.

Grace's expression was solemn, and she remained silent!

Suddenly, the black light between her hands disappeared, but ten sharp black shuttles appeared abruptly in front of her, gleaming with black light.

"Go!" Grace snapped, waving her hands.

Ten sharp black shuttles vanished from their spot in an instant, leaving only ten black lines in mid-air!

When Irene saw that Grace had finished casting the spell, her face lit up with joy and she felt relieved. But in an instant, alarm bells went off in her mind!

Something suddenly rushed into the black mist at an extremely high speed!

It's from the side and rear!

Irene just turned her head to the side!

"Pfft! Pfft!" Irene looked at her chest and abdomen in disbelief, where several fatal wounds appeared instantly, and then she was lifted up by a sharp weapon!

"Irene!!" Grace, who had just unleashed her ultimate move, stared angrily at Irene, who was stabbed three times and riddled with holes, her slender legs still trembling in the air.

But Grace knew that Irene was beyond saving!

The situation outside the black fog was completely the opposite.

"Pfft pfft pfft!!" Gorkan looked down at the three new bloody holes on his body, his eyes wide open, and collapsed to the ground.

Fana also suffered multiple injuries, but fortunately, due to her height and the help of the dark green vines, the black energy shuttle only grazed past her.

However, with the magic broken, Fana was now weak and listless.
