As Jiang Bo stared in shock, Bai Xiaowen took a step forward and raised his hand. A large group of undead summoned creatures appeared on the battlefield.
Bai Xiaowen was now a Level-5 Hero, and his Spirit attribute was as high as 47 points. With the addition of the Spirit Master profession and his Spirit, the appearance of his summoned creatures had changed quite a bit compared to before they entered the Jiajing Dimension.
Four skeletal swordsmen wielded shiny scimitars and thick iron shields. Their skeletons were covered with a layer of leather armor inlaid with iron plates.
The Shadow Assassin looked no different from a normal person. The important parts of its body were covered with leather armor, and the two short swords gleamed coldly.
The Wrath Claw's body didn't grow bigger, but it had a rather perfect streamlined shape. Its four legs had obvious muscle contours, making it look thicker and more explosive.
Suture Fatty's originally chubby body had also changed quite a bit. He also had muscle lines. Apart from his fat belly, he looked like a muscular man from the back. He looked quite similar to the Butcher that Bai Xiaowen had seen in the game. The rust on his iron chains and kitchen knives had also disappeared.
The vampire Keats' body had become even more muscular. He liked to unfold his double-breasted suit, revealing his firm chest muscles and coarse chest hair. That kind of pig slaughtering aura was completely different from the aristocratic bearing of a normal vampire.
The Necromancer had mutated in the Jiajing Plane. His appearance hadn't changed much. He was still covered in a black robe, making him look quite mysterious. The only difference was that his black robes were much neater than before. It was no longer as tattered as before, as if he was begging for food.
Even though Jiang Bo had been mentally prepared for the number of summoned creatures Bai Xiaowen had summoned, he was still shocked by the spectacular military formation.
However, after the initial shock, Jiang Bo quickly recalled the number of enemies. "Boss Bai Xiaowen, although you have a lot of people on your side, the enemy has even more. If we compete in numbers, we won't be able to win."
There were indeed a lot of monsters on Ill Wind Mound. There were close to a hundred of them! Among them were a dozen or so elite monsters of different races, as well as three leader-level bosses.
Bai Xiaowen smiled slightly and didn't explain further. In terms of numbers, his side was at an absolute disadvantage. The ratio was ten to one. However, the battle between hunters was never a simple competition of numbers.
Most of the monsters in front of him were close-combat creatures. They were not a well-organized army with a combination of close-range and long-range combat. Although there were many of them, there were at most ten to twenty of them fighting Bai Xiaowen at the same time. The other monsters were separated by their own people and could not squeeze in.
In addition, Bai Xiaowen could also see that the actions of these leader monsters were somewhat sluggish. They did not seem to have any battle intelligence, especially the Voodoo Giant Corpse, which was basically confirmed to have zero intelligence. Only the banshee commander, Madam Sivales, was able to control her specter to block the way out of Chillywind Mound, showing a certain degree of intelligence.
As long as Bai Xiaowen found the right opportunity to kill the enemy's leader, the remaining Elite and Normal monsters would just be moving Mana points and treasure chests in his eyes.
After Bai Xiaowen summoned all his creatures, he chose to retreat and stick to the stone wall of Ill Wind Mound. The Skeleton Sword Shield Warrior, Fatty, and other meat-shield creatures blocked the front, while the Wrath Claw, Kitts, and other creatures attacked from behind.
A wave of undead monsters quickly rushed over. However, it was like a wave crashing into a reef. The Skeleton Sword Shield Warrior and Fatty did not move at all.
Under Bai Xiaowen's command, Kitts transformed into a bat and shuttled through the crowd of monsters, quickly attracting a large number of monsters. He flew wildly to the side. Even the Skeleton Warrior Commander Alexei and the Voodoo Giant Corpse were alerted by him. With heavy footsteps, the two Bosses chased after Kitts.
Thanks to Kitts attracting monsters, a large gap appeared in the crowd of monsters in front of them.
With a gust of wind, the Wrath Claw rushed out with its four claws, completely ignoring the other monsters. It ran straight for the banshee commander, Madam Sivales, in the distance!
The Wrath Claw's Dexterity was now as high as 34 points. When it sprinted at full speed, it was as fast as a gust of wind. The slightly slower undead monsters could not even touch a hair on its head. Only the Spiritas monsters, ghosts, were slightly faster and could deal a certain amount of damage to the Wrath Claw when it sprinted.
However, the Wrath Claw and Bai Xiaowen had established a life sharing connection. The amount of HP it lost was completely within the range of what it could bear.
These monsters did not have a unified command. After the Wrath Claw sprinted out, another group of monsters followed.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at Jiang Bo. Seeing that he was still in a daze, he shook his head slightly and activated the + 4 Sprint effect of the Sharkskin Boots. His speed increased explosively, and he followed behind the Wrath Claw and the group of monsters, also charging towards Madam Sivales.
When he was about ten meters away from Madam Sivales, Bai Xiaowen's legs flashed.
[White Eagle's Assault] active skill, Glide, activated! Jumping ability increased by three times!
Bai Xiaowen was like an eagle as he leaped high into the air among the group of monsters. He leaped over a dozen meters into the air! Using the inertia of charging forward, Bai Xiaowen's figure drew a long parabola in the air. He rushed in front of Madam Sivales and kicked out!
When Bai Xiaowen jumped over, Madam Sivales quickly reacted. She suddenly opened her mouth and let out a soul-stirring roar!
However, just as she opened her mouth, a bolt of lightning struck down from afar.
Whoosh!
Madam Sivales cried out in pain, but there was no sound. Electric arcs swam on the surface of her body. Not only did she fall into a temporary zombie state, but she also had to endure the additional "Evilbreaker" damage of the lightning spell. Moreover, she had the passive racial ability of "Body of Nothingness", which made her vulnerable to magic.
This bolt of lightning, including the Evilbreaker damage, caused a total of 64 magic damage. Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes slightly. He quickly calculated that Madam Sivales' magic resistance should be quite high. Otherwise, the additional 50% damage from the lightning bolt and the Evilbreaker effect would not be less than 100 points of damage.
However, by interrupting Madam Sivales's Mind Shriek, which was an important crowd control skill, Bai Xiaowen had achieved his goal. He used the momentum of charging forward to kick Madam Sivales's chest, making her body float. Then, he twisted his waist in the air and kicked Madam Sivales into the air with a second kick!
The Glide skill's effect of doubling the damage of kicks was very powerful. The theoretical damage of these two kicks was close to 100 points.
Of course, Madam Sivales benefited from the racial passive of "Body of Nothingness", which reduced the physical damage she received by 50%. In the end, she only received 46 points of physical damage.
She had a racial passive against physical damage, and she had high magic resistance against magic damage. This was the powerful defense of the Banshee Leader, Madam Sivales. The two skills, which had a theoretical damage of more than 250 points, only dealt 110 points of damage.
But don't forget that Madam Sivales's Constitution was 32, and her HP was only 320 points! The first wave of attacks from Bai Xiaowen and the Undead Arcane Master had taken away a third of her HP!
Junior and Intermediate Banshee Leaders had several hundred HP less than Advanced Banshee Leaders with the same Constitution. This made the assassination plan feasible.
While Madam Sivales was in the air, Bai Xiaowen landed lightly on the ground. Then, he punched out with a flaming fist, accurately hitting Madam Sivales's abdomen.
This punch did little physical damage, but the flames it carried completely enveloped Madam Sivales, causing her to become stiff again.
Then, Bai Xiaowen raised and lowered his elbow, using the simple three strikes of the Ancient Martial Arts of the Grassland Sect, heavily knocking Madam Sivales to the ground. Flames rose, and she lost another 100 points of HP.
"First one." Bai Xiaowen thought. At this time, Madam Sivales's HP was less than 100 points, and she still had to deal with the Wrath Claw's suppressive skills.
But something unexpected happened. Madam Sivales had just caught her breath when her figure flashed and disappeared. When she reappeared, she was already seven or eight meters away. Her red eyes were filled with hatred. She screamed and pushed her hands in Bai Xiaowen's direction!
"Banshee Leader Madam Sivales's skill: Flicker activated!"
"Banshee Leader Madam Sivales's skill: Death Ripple activated!"
The two notifications came one after another. Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath, but his expression didn't change. On his neck, a necklace flashed with holy light, turning into a shield of light that completely enveloped him.
[Arbiter's Resolve], an additional protection skill, can form a shield that absorbs damage equal to Constitution multiplied by 3! Bai Xiaowen's Constitution was as high as 27 points, so the shield he formed could absorb as much as 81 points of damage.
The reason Bai Xiaowen used this precious life-saving skill that he didn't use often was mainly because he and the Wrath Claw were both in the attack range of the Death Ripple, and they were connected to each other through life sharing. The Wrath Claw's HP had already fallen to around 80% in the process of luring the monsters. In order to avoid losing too much HP in the upcoming battle, the Death Ripple activated.
Bai Xiaowen and the Wrath Claw were dealt 105 and 144 points of damage respectively! The reason why the damage they received was different was because Bai Xiaowen's magic resistance was higher than the Wrath Claw's.
After the shield absorbed the damage, the remaining 168 points of damage were split between the Wrath Claw and Bai Xiaowen according to the ratio of their HP.
Bai Xiaowen and the Wrath Claw's HP had been reduced by 30%, leaving them with only half of their HP left. It could be seen that as a Level-6 Boss, Lady Sivalais was still very scary. If she controlled him and used two or more damaging skills, even Bai Xiaowen wouldn't be able to take it.
But now, Lady Sivalais no longer had any ability to resist. She could only let out a shrill scream, ordering the two ghosts nearby to block her.
A bloody glow appeared on the Wrath Claw's body, and it roared angrily as it charged forward, sending the two ghosts flying backward!
At this time, the Wrath Claw had an additional 50% critical strike rate. Including the high critical strike rate brought about by its high Agility, the critical strike rate was simply terrifying. It waved its claws continuously, and a bloody glow appeared on Lady Sivalais's body as critical strike numbers popped up one after another.
The Skeletal Warrior Commander and the Voodoo Giant Corpse were attracted by the Banshee Commander's shrill scream. They abandoned Kitts and strode over.
Bai Xiaowen quickly activated the Deterrence skill, freezing the group of monsters in place. Most undead creatures' Intelligence didn't exceed the threshold of 14 points. The Deterrence skill no longer brought fear, but the more frightening stun effect.
Although Lady Sivalais wasn't controlled, she didn't need it anymore. In the distance, the Skeletal Warrior's second Lightning Strike spell fell, directly taking away what little HP she had left.
With a mournful cry, Lady Sivalais's body dissipated into light, leaving behind only a golden chest.
"As expected, a Level-6 Boss and a Level-7 Boss are much easier to kill, even though there's only a difference of one level."
This thought flashed through Bai Xiaowen's mind, and he put away Lady Sivalais's golden chest.
Without the Banshee Commander's large area of effect crowd control, Bai Xiaowen had a much easier time fighting.
Kitts charged over and madly scratched the Voodoo Giant Corpse's body twice, then fled. He successfully attracted the Voodoo Giant Corpse's attention and led it to the edge of the battlefield.
Because the Voodoo Giant Corpse had 1,000 HP and two skills that countered melee attacks, Bai Xiaowen planned to deal with it last. He would have to trouble Kitts first, and let him walk the dog, enduring the Voodoo Giant Corpse's two great passive skills, [Poisonous Cloud] and [Ominous Aura].
Kitts' agility was high enough, and his attacks had a lifesteal effect, so he was the most suitable for this job.
Of course, this method of luring monsters was only effective against monsters with low intelligence. If it was an intelligent Boss from the Spirit World, it definitely wouldn't be so easily lured by Kitts and obediently follow him.
Bai Xiaowen faced the Skeletal Warrior Commander, Aleksei. He raised his left hand, and a magic book with a funny face on the cover appeared in his palm. The pages of the book rattled as it flipped.
"Activating the Demonic Book of Ravings skill, Ravings. Beginning dice roll."
Three illusory dice rolled onto the ground — five, two, three.
"The result of the dice roll is 10. You will draw a two-star spell."
"Draw successful. The spell drawn is: Flame Impact."
[Flame Impact: Release flames to attack the target, causing moderate fire damage. There is also a chance of knocking the target back.]
A ball of flame appeared in Bai Xiaowen's palm, and like an invisible hand of fire, it slammed into the Skeletal Warrior Commander, Aleksei's chest, knocking him back two steps. Bai Xiaowen's mental strength also decreased by four points.
"Not bad, just that the spell's star level is a bit low."
Bai Xiaowen was quite satisfied. He didn't lose out by drawing an offensive spell and a bone-cutting spell. According to experience, even if he drew a holy healing spell, it wouldn't restore the HP of the undead creature in front of him. Instead, it would cause damage.
Unless his luck was so bad that he drew a darkness-type healing spell like "Shadow Healing," it would restore the creature's HP. However, Aleksei was currently at full HP, so even if he was healed, it wouldn't affect him. Bai Xiaowen would only lose some mental strength.
Of course, the worst luck would be drawing a shield-type spell. Compared to the huge number of spells in the entire spell library, this probability wasn't high.
