Chapter 312 Mark of Revenge, Signature Corpse Explosion Technique?
Further inside, several burly centaur warriors were warily surveying their surroundings.
They wore heavy iron armor, wolf-tooth helmets, and carried longswords or large hammers.
These warriors were the bravest and most elite fighters in the tribe.
Although they looked somewhat tired, perhaps because the long journey and battle had exhausted their energy.
Even under these circumstances, they remain vigilant, constantly scanning their surroundings to guard against any potential threats.
At the very center of the procession, an elderly centaur priest sat serenely.
It wore the same loose, oversized gray robe, held a mysterious staff, and was silently praying in its heart.
This priest is the spiritual leader of this centaur squad.
After Fangzhou figured out the enemy's class assignments, he controlled the Pearl Bird Gugu to quietly retreat back the way he came.
According to his guess, the numerous centaur warriors were at most ordinary monsters at the mid-level of apprentices, and could be almost ignored.
However, the five centaur warriors were definitely apprentices who had risen through the ranks, and their strength was no less than that of horned demons of equal strength.
As for that centaur priest, he is very likely an elite spellcaster template, and will definitely be more troublesome.
After completing the reconnaissance, Ark began to consider how to fight this battle.
Ark currently has fifty summoned skeletons, so he is not worried about the number of enemies.
If we can defeat that centaur priest, we will definitely win this battle.
At this moment, Fangzhou had no intention of retreating at all. Instead, he was thinking about how to quickly kill all the enemies and turn them all into his own points.
Looking at the neatly arranged skeletons under the demon, Ark waved and led them toward the centaur squad.
On the way, he transmitted his thoughts through a mental link, and the 50 undead immediately split into two long lines, surrounding him from both sides.
As the distance gradually closed, the centaur squad not far away finally noticed their movements.
The centaur priest sitting in the very center suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and, together with the centaur warriors who had turned around and were on high alert, looked in the direction where the Ark and the others were.
"There are enemies!"
"alert!"
"Protect the priest!"
As a fierce shout rang out, all the centaur warriors quickly rose to their feet, gripped their weapons tightly, and joined the centaur warriors in closely protecting the priest in the center.
"Priest, it's a spirit of the dead!"
A centaur warrior shouted, his voice tinged with obvious tension.
"No, it's a necromancer!" another warrior added, his tone full of vigilance.
The centaur priest looked solemn, his spiritual energy surging. He had already seen the ark behind the undead.
To think we'd encountered such a rare being!
Faced with an encounter of this scale, Fangzhou understood that his solo attack would not achieve significant results.
Therefore, he did not choose to hide, but instead appeared directly with a large number of skeletons.
As the distance between them closed, the Ark and the Centaur Priest chanted their incantations almost simultaneously!
"Pillars of Totem!"
The centaur priest's voice echoed through the forest.
As he finished his incantation, a beam of light rose from the ground, forming a totem radiating a warm glow that provided healing and buffs to the centaur squad.
"Death Ripple!" Ark's voice followed closely behind.
As he finished his incantation, a sphere of undead energy shot straight toward the centaur squad, exploding in mid-air and turning into death ripples that fell to the ground.
In an instant, countless damage numbers appeared on the bodies of the centaurs.
However, their injuries were quickly healed by the healing effects of the totem pillars.
"As expected of an elite spellcaster!"
Upon seeing the battlefield feedback, Fangzhou's heart tightened.
He watched as the centaur warriors charged into battle with the skeletons. Although they had inflicted some damage, it was quickly restored by the healing effect of the totem pillars.
As an elite spellcaster, the centaur priest greatly enhances the entire centaur squad.
"To shoot a man, first shoot his horse; to capture a thief, first capture his king!"
Fang Zhou silently chanted in his mind, then gave the order: "Bone Lock! Bone Spear!"
Ark unleashed a double skeletal attack directly at the centaur priest.
The centaur priest, unable to break free from the skeletal chains, released a layer of earth-yellow shield, which barely delayed the attack of the skeletal spears.
Then, at its roaring command, three centaur warriors charged forward without fear, using their bodies to firmly block the skeletal spears.
Nevertheless, the centaur priest still felt excruciating pain from the explosive effect of the bone spears.
It roared angrily, startling the centaur warriors in front, who all turned around, thinking that the priest had met with some misfortune.
The Bone Spears went into cooldown, but Ark didn't stop attacking, quickly using area-of-effect attack skills to follow up during the intervals.
"Death Ripple!" Ark's voice echoed through the forest.
A mass of grayish-black energy slowly rotated from the necromancy orb, causing the surrounding air to suddenly turn cold.
Above the centaur squad, wisps of gray-black air suddenly appeared, and a visible chill rapidly condensed above them.
Then an inconspicuous gray-black beam of light erupted, and chilling energy ripples rushed toward the centaur squad below at an astonishing speed, engulfing them all!
The centaurs struck by the death ripples let out piercing screams.
Their bodies were submerged in the icy current as if they had been thrown into an ice lake; their skin was instantly ripped open, and their blood quickly congealed under the corrosive influence of death.
Despite the powerful healing effects of the totem pillars still taking effect, several centaur warriors succumbed to the onslaught and fell dead.
Fangzhou shook his head with some regret upon seeing the corpses of several centaur warriors.
Unfortunately, he hasn't yet figured out the necromancer's signature Corpse Explosion spell in the fantasy game.
Otherwise, in such a chaotic battlefield, these corpses would be the best medium for casting spells.
So he didn't even have time to put down the necromancy orb he was holding before he started swinging it around again, scattering waves of death.
All the centaur warriors and centaur warriors around the squad were caught off guard and several more bodies fell.
Even the centaur priest at the very back was splashed by the death ripples and suffered some injuries.
Although the priest tried to use the power of the totem pillars to heal the wounds, the Ark's attack frequency and intensity had exceeded its healing limits.
Within a few short breaths, the centaurs, like ants, screamed and died amidst a series of loud explosions. Only the shattered remains of the centaurs and the centaur priest who was still standing in the same spot remained on the open ground.
The priest's face was filled with terror, and despair shone in its eyes, but its injuries prevented it from casting any effective spells.
A series of messages about increasing points flashed and jumped on Ark's personal terminal like dazzling starlight.
This unexpected and bountiful harvest filled Fangzhou with immense joy.
At the same time, the centaur priest's eyes, which should have been wise and calm, now seemed to be burning with two blazing flames, filled with irreconcilable hatred.
However, even though its heart was filled with endless rage, a hint of fear flashed in its eyes due to its fear of the strong.
Faced with the terrifying power of the Ark and the dozens of skeletons approaching at an alarming speed, the centaur priest's courage began to waver.
It understood that continuing to fight would only lead to its demise.
So it made a decision, waving its staff and casting a speed-up spell on itself, preparing to seize the opportunity to escape this perilous battlefield.
However, the Ark did not give it any chance.
A cold smile crept across his lips, and the necromancer orb rose rapidly under his control, pointing straight ahead.
A chain of bones stretched through the air, precisely binding the centaur priest and buying precious time for those rapidly approaching.
Once surrounded by these undead creatures, the centaur priest could no longer escape. The centaur priest was clearly aware of this.
Its staff continuously released a series of orbs that shone with green light.
These orbs, like a barrage of cannonballs, instantly shattered the bone lock in front of him.
But by this time, the skeletons had already formed a tight encirclement.
They converged on the center from all directions, forming an insurmountable barrier.
The centaur priest was frantic. It raised its staff, aimed at the two nearest undead creatures, and tried to use a powerful spell to create an escape route and break free from this deadly encirclement.
However, the Ark moved even faster.
Without haste, he unleashed another bone spear, which accurately struck the centaur priest.
The latter let out a muffled groan, barely managing to withstand the attack with its last life-saving artifact.
However, the sudden interruption of its mental energy prevented it from completing the spell, and it was instead severely damaged by the backlash of energy.
When it comes to card skills, Ark is a pro.
The master has already delayed for so long, so naturally they have all arrived at the battlefield.
They brandished rusty bone weapons and surrounded the centaur priests.
Their bones rattled and creaked in the air, as if playing a symphony of death.
Every attack, whether a slash of a sword or a slam of bones, was weakened by the centaur priest's defensive spells.
But when these attacks came together, even the powerful centaur priests could not withstand them.
Its body swayed precariously under the constant blows.
Outside the encirclement, more than twenty skeletons failed to make it to the front line.
They could only stand guard in the rear, watching intently as their companions were brutally attacked.
Seeing that the situation was settled, the arks on the periphery stood calmly and composed.
Occasionally, he would raise the necromancer orb and unleash a skeletal spear, accurately striking the centaur priest and interrupting its counterattack.
He would then quickly shift his attention to the critically injured skeletons, casting "Resurrection" to heal them.
The Ark's "Resurrection" skill has reached its maximum level.
This skill consumes almost no mental energy.
The mental energy required to heal a severely wounded and dying skeleton is far less than that required to summon a new skeleton.
Therefore, in this protracted battle, Ark consciously controlled the casualties of the skeleton army, minimizing unnecessary losses and ensuring that every unit of strength could be used to its maximum effect.
"No! Damn it!!!"
The centaur priest's voice was hoarse and desperate.
After struggling for several minutes under the siege of the skeletons, it finally collapsed under a fatal skeletal spear from the Ark.
Its eyes, filled with hatred and malice, remained fixed on the ark until its final moments. It brandished its staff and hurled a curse at the ark: "Mark of Vengeance!"
The skeletal shields surrounding the Ark did not react in any way.
Although he felt a strange chill spread through his body, he quickly returned to normal. Fang Zhou's expression turned serious. He used his mental energy to carefully examine himself, but found nothing unusual.
But he knew that the centaur priest's actions before his death were not just empty boasts, and there might be some unseen side effects.
However... Fang Zhou smiled coldly and gathered his skeleton army together.
there is always a solution to a problem.
If any more centaur monsters try to come and die, Ark is always ready.
Fangzhou looked down at his personal terminal. With the centaur priest's fall, the screen showed that his score had increased by another precious 4 points.
Looking around, the corpses scattered all over the ground testified to the fierce battle that had just ended.
However, Ark was already used to such scenarios.
Since he awakened to become a necromancer, such scenes have become a part of his life.
The air was thick with the scent of blood and death.
But for him, these were merely milestones on the road to power, and each fallen enemy was a stepping stone on his path forward.
He enjoyed the feeling of dominating the battlefield, the thrill of controlling the undead army at will.
But he also knew that he couldn't let himself be misled by this power. Looking down at the centaur priest's corpse at his feet, a sense of doubt arose in Fang Zhou's heart.
Judging from these consecutive battles, the simulated battlefield of this recruit competition was significantly more realistic than the ones he usually encountered during training.
This is not only reflected in the detailed recreation of the environment, but also in the intelligence level of the monsters.
The centaur squad we just saw, whether it was the elite centaur priests or the brave centaur warriors, all acted with remarkable realism.
Their tactical choices and on-the-spot reaction capabilities, especially in combat, demonstrate that they possess considerable combat experience.
Clearly, the Longxia Federal Military has made significant progress in simulated battlefield technology.
At this moment, the depths of the dense forest were silent, with only the lingering smell of blood in the air reminding one of the fierce battle that had taken place here not long ago.
Within sight, apart from Fangzhou himself, there was no other person in sight.
Fangzhou sat beside the thick roots of an ancient oak tree, patiently waiting for his mental energy to recover.
