The Wizard: Starting as a Corpse Burial Man - An Infinite Side Hustle

"Click-clack click-clack..."

A series of crisp sounds came from all directions.

The giant shield goblin's armor was immediately riddled with holes.

Because multiple spider rats were located in a few specific areas, the holes became larger and larger.

Feeling the impending riddled holes in its armor, the goblin immediately panicked.

Then, instinctively, he prepared to swing the giant shield to dispel these eerie beings.

But before they could take any action...

The spider rats then made holes in the goblin's armor, both in front of its heart and around its neck.

Then he reached inside and took another bite.

"Click-clack click-clack..."

A series of overlapping gnawing sounds rang out.

In no time, the giant shield goblin's heart stopped beating as it shattered, and its neck snapped.

In an instant, the giant shield goblin collapsed to the ground, completely out of control.

The other party had already turned into a corpse.

Seeing this, the spider rats in the area stopped lingering.

They continued to follow the other two-thirds of their companions, rushing quickly toward the other two goblins.

He watched as a large number of strange beings, having already killed the giant shield goblin, charged toward him.

The black-robed goblin's heart tightened immediately.

Then, disregarding the possibility of making mistakes, he subconsciously increased the speed of reciting the incantation.

The crossbowman goblin quickly nocked an arrow and aimed at a spider-rat with trembling hands.

whoosh-

A whooshing sound rang out.

The arrow struck a spider-rat with eight claws on its head.

Then, with a bang, it pierced through and firmly pinned to the ground.

But that's all there is to it.

The remaining nearly three hundred spider rats were still crawling at a similar speed toward the two remaining goblins.

Upon seeing this scene, the crossbowman goblin's legs went weak.

Their fighting spirit vanished instantly.

So the crossbowman goblin immediately prepared to run away from the spider rat.

But before they could escape even a meter, the black-robed goblin holding a staff stretched out a withered green hand.

He grabbed the crossbowman goblin by the head.

"Gah!"

"Coo coo—"

The crossbowman goblin screamed in terror.

The black-robed goblin ignored the other party.

With a sudden jerk, the crossbowman goblin's soul was pulled out.

His body collapsed to the ground like a corpse.

Meanwhile, Ansu, who was outside the battlefield, also witnessed this scene.

"Have you extracted your companion's soul...?"

Combined with the staff in the goblin's hand, Ansu vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to do.

He immediately activated the etheric connection between himself and the giant beetle, thus preparing to indirectly control the spider rat.

A short while later.

As Ansu gazed upon the forest scene, the black-robed goblin in the forest suddenly stuffed his companion's soul into the bone staff.

In an instant, the faint light on the surface of the bone staff became even more dazzling, and at the same time, it became sinister.

Like will-o'-the-wisps in a cemetery.

The next moment, the only goblin gripped its bone staff and aimed at the numerous skeleton rats at the forefront.

As soon as the goblin had a thought, a rune on the bone staff immediately dimmed.

Immediately afterwards, a missile formed from condensed soul energy was launched.

Just moments later, it struck the fastest spider rat.

boom!

A cracking sound rang out.

The spider rat, targeted by the goblin, along with several of its kin beside it, instantly turned into dust, leaving a deep crater in the ground.

This is the effect of a Soul Missile.

At this moment, there are still nearly 30 runes shimmering with a faint light on the bone staff.

Upon realizing that he had successfully killed the spider rat, the goblin's fearful expression immediately subsided somewhat.

Then he immediately adjusted the direction of the staff.

At the same time, another rune on the skull staff dimmed, and the crossbowman goblin's soul stored within it was torn apart once more.

Followed by.

A soul missile, formed from condensed soul energy and enhanced by a bone staff, then appeared.

It then flew toward another spider-rat.

But it didn't even hit the target.

The spider-rat near the target immediately turned around quickly.

After running in all directions for a while, it leaped up and jumped nearly two meters into the air.

A moment later, the Soul Missile landed on the ground.

Then, with a 'bang,' another small crater was blasted into the ground.

However, since the spider rat had already moved far away, only a few small pebbles splashed onto it.

Apart from that, it did not cause any further damage.

Upon seeing this, the goblin sensed something was wrong.

But he continued to use the bone staff to create soul missiles.

But each time, the situation is the same as before.

As soon as the missile appears, the numerous spider rats in the area about to be attacked will immediately adjust their movement trajectory.

Then they used a series of bizarre methods to dodge the missile attacks.

But this wasn't actually entirely done by the spider rat itself.

Instead, Ansu invoked the etheric connection between himself and the giant beetle that had summoned the spider rat, and then transmitted detailed instructions to the painting-shaped spell scroll on the giant beetle's back.

With this precise control, he was able to evade the goblin's missile attacks in various ways.

Therefore, in the eyes of the goblins, these strangely shaped spider rats immediately became even more bizarre.

The hand holding the staff began to tremble slightly.

Just like the crossbowman goblins before.

Soon after, amidst the roar of missiles, the goblin's bone staff dimmed.

The soul energy contained within was also completely consumed.

In other words, goblins have completely lost the ability to release soul missiles.

at the same time.

Amidst the rustling footsteps, nearly three hundred spider rats arrived 10 meters in front of the goblin.

Before long, the goblins will be completely within the attack range of the spider rats.

The last goblin also realized this.

So the instant the thought arose, it didn't hesitate to throw away the bone staff that had long since lost its function.

Then, disregarding everything, it ran wildly into the distance.

Before they could run more than a few meters, the distance between the spider rats and the goblins was halved again.

Followed by.

Under Ansu's control, a lead spider-rat leaped into the air.

Another spider-rat followed suit and jumped up.

Then, using the spider-rat as a springboard, it leaped again.

Then, following a parabolic trajectory, it landed on the goblin's neck.

With a snap, a wound immediately appeared on the goblin's neck.

The pain caused the goblin to pause in its escape, and it instinctively tried to pull the other goblin off.

The numerous spider-rats behind them followed.

Then, just like when they faced the Great Shield Goblin, they began to bite all over its body, including its neck and heart.

"Click-clack click-clack..."

Then came another series of rustling and tearing sounds.

Amidst the relentless biting, the goblin's heart and neck were instantly torn apart.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a corpse.

The moment the last goblin died, the barrier between the combat area and the assessment area vanished.

The forest then slowly disappeared, becoming part of the pure white space.

At the same time, the ethereal voice reappeared in Ansu's mind.
