Chapter 166: Chapter 106: Magically Modified Necromancer! A Small-Scale Undead Calamity

“And that’s not even counting the Skeleton Warriors that actively charged forward to whittle down the enemy’s Blood Volume and died drawing their fire.”

“That’s at least several thousand Skeleton Warrior reinforcements.”

“It’s comparable to a small-scale Undead Calamity.”

’I knew it.’

’Any Legendary Profession chosen by the Riding and Cutting system couldn’t possibly be as useless as I’d imagined.’

’The Necromancer’s Level 10 Ultimate Skill has probably also undergone some degree of Magic Modification and enhancement. It won’t be as ridiculously pathetic as the original version, which was hardly ever worth using…’

As he thought of this,

The fourth wave of Void Creatures arrived.

The number of Wandering Soul Fighters had climbed once again. They swung their blades in unison, and even the formidable Sielo Knights could hardly withstand such a terrifying, continuous bombardment.

Only Qin Feng, with a Blood Volume exceeding five thousand, could barely endure the collective attacks of these Wandering Soul Fighters.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Feng decided he still needed to make a sacrifice. He would first take a few hits from the Void Creatures head-on, then activate the Sigmar Combat Priest’s “Righteous Fury” Big Move to boost everyone’s melee damage output.

The main reason was,

The number of Wandering Soul Fighters was constantly increasing.

These things were tanky, had high damage output, and wore armor that scaled with the Secret Realm’s level, making their defense increasingly astonishing.

Even though Qin Feng and the Sielo Knights were at the Zero-star (Red) level of strength,

they couldn’t one-shot them.

They had to use a damage skill—and a more powerful melee one at that, not a weaker ranged skill like “Triple Shot”—to instantly kill a Wandering Soul Fighter.

So,

if he continued to hold back,

there was a risk of a wipe that could get the Sielo Knights killed.

Unless the enemies were all replaced with the previous Wandering Soul Strikers, which were squishies that didn’t wear much armor.

That would be much easier to deal with.

Not only could Qin Feng and his forces kill them with a single easy strike,

but these mindless Void Creatures also had no tactical awareness. They didn’t know to prioritize more threatening targets and would just foolishly focus on clearing the Skeleton Warriors blocking their path.

Because of that, Qin Feng had felt there was no need for him to proactively go up and take a beating…

“Move aside!”

“Let me through!”

Hearing their Lord’s command, the Skeleton Warriors holding their Bone Shields immediately pressed to the sides, clearing a wide path for the charging Qin Feng.

And the Wandering Soul Strikers at the front, who were rampaging and slaughtering the skeletons, saw him coming and instinctively raised their sharp claws, slashing viciously at the shield in Qin Feng’s hands.

BANG!

Block successful!

The shield took the damage, not Qin Feng!

The next second, however, a barrage of attacks like a furious storm swarmed him, instantly Shattering the Shield of Ruin in his hands. Qin Feng’s body also took several hits, and the health bar above his head instantly dropped by several hundred.

HISSS!

’That really hurts!’

’I knew it. Charging in to tank damage without the Sielo Knights’ Divine Gift skill to avoid it…!’

’I was bound to get pummeled by these crazed Void Creatures!’

This was the tragedy of those who held the front line.

No matter how strong they were, once swept into the torrent of a legion-scale melee, there was no room to maneuver. They could only brace themselves and block.

But most of the low-level shields used for blocking were flimsy and couldn’t withstand more than a few rounds of being swarmed.

So,

those infantrymen—cannon fodder holding the front line—

would lose their shields, their armor would fail, and they would ultimately be hacked to pieces.

It was just like those Ratman Warriors who fought bravely in the Void Tide.

Even with their tight, seamless coordination, they couldn’t prevent the occasional mistake in the heat of battle—a crack appearing in a squad’s formation, or a low-health teammate failing to retreat to the rear in time.

In the end, they had paid the price of over a hundred lives to achieve the great victory of successfully repelling the Void Tide.

*Sigh.*

’War…’

’It’s always so cruel.’

Thinking of this, Qin Feng sighed as he quickly retreated, letting the Skeleton Warriors block the Void Creatures that wanted to continue their pursuit. He then raised his hand and activated the Sigmar Combat Priest’s Ultimate Skill.

[Your “Righteous Fury” skill is fully charged!]

[Activating “Righteous Fury” skill!]

[Increases your melee damage and that of all nearby allies by 20%! Duration: five minutes!]

[Due to the “Sacred Flame” skill, all friendly units affected by “Righteous Fury” will have their melee weapons wreathed in Holy Fire, dealing an additional 20% Fire Elemental Magic Damage and 20% Holy Damage!]

[Note: The Holy Damage from Sacred Flame is effective against Void Creatures and has been temporarily increased to 100% additional Holy Damage!]

After this,

under the dual buffs of “Righteous Fury” and “Sacred Flame,” the killing efficiency of Qin Feng and his forces skyrocketed.

Even a Wandering Soul Fighter clad in Heavy Armor could be felled with a single normal Horizontal Slash.

With such power, they easily defended against the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth waves.

By the ninth wave, however, the “Righteous Fury” effect on Qin Feng was about to expire.

He had no choice but to repeat his earlier tactic. He resolutely charged to the very front of the battle line, tanking the dense barrage of attacks from the Void Creatures and, at the cost of taking damage himself, refreshed the duration of his “Righteous Fury” skill.

[You have activated the second round of the “Righteous Fury” skill!]

[Nearby allied units not currently affected by “Righteous Fury” will enter the first stack of the “Righteous Fury” state! Melee damage increased by 20%! Duration: 5 minutes!]

[Nearby allied units already affected by “Righteous Fury” will enter the second stack of the “Righteous Fury” state! Melee damage increased to 40%! Duration extended by 5 minutes!]

’Hmm…’

’Well, since I’m already here…’

’And it just so happens to be the last two waves…’

’So… uh! Void Creatures! All of you, charge me! If you’ve got any guts, come and get me!’
