After the Lich completed a series of incantations that were so long that it made one's hair stand on end, sharp white bone spikes emerged from the ground beneath the Undead King Tamik's feet. Like an African hunting a seal, the bone spikes pierced through the defenseless Tamik and turned him into a porcupine. As if that was not enough, the bone spikes twisted to form a torture device similar to an iron maiden, trapping the Undead King within.
The brutal attack that was enough to kill a normal person several times over still failed to take the King of Death Riders' life. Even though its body was riddled with holes, as long as its soul wasn't damaged, it couldn't be killed. It didn't even let out a cry of pain because it didn't feel pain at all.
The Lich didn't want to kill it directly, he just wanted to trap it like this. The Undead Knight King realized that it couldn't use its body anymore and decided to switch to another body. However, it realized that the sinister guy had covered the outside of the bone prison with a layer of unknown sorcery. The Undead Knight King's soul couldn't leave the bone prison even after leaving its body, so it was completely trapped!
Therefore, the Revenant King was temporarily knocked out of the game by a silly, cute assassin's imagination, an alchemist's new formula, and a Lich's self-created trick.
It was awkward, just like when the Revenant King was snatched by Magnus at the beginning of the game, and the animal messenger that was sent back to the city was killed.
"Aha! That Revenant King is dead. It'll be my first prize, "the Lich said gleefully." Now, we just need to deal with the big one. "
The Hitman Walker smacked his head and said, "I have a plan …" As he spoke, he pulled out an extraordinarily long bow from his storage pouch.
"Is that … a siege bow?" The Scholar Walker recognized it at a glance. "This kind of bow was originally designed by the military to launch long-range rockets during sieges. Its power and range are good, but it's not that useful against a giant energy monster like this, right?"
Lady Assassin, who had been running beside the Hitman Walker, instantly switched to the Fairy Walker. She snorted and said, "It's a crude bow made by humans. It's hard to guarantee its accuracy. A normal human can't even draw it. You'd have to use your waist and legs to draw it. It's not elegant at all."
"I know what you're talking about, but I'm not going to use it to attack this monster." The Hitman Walker replied calmly. At the same time, he reached out and grabbed the Scholar Walker by the scruff of her neck.
"Ah! What are you doing?! "The Scholar shouted in a panic, like a kitten baring its teeth and brandishing its claws.
"Relax." Said the Hitman Walker coldly. His golden combat chi surged out of his body, forming a series of combat chi ropes that bound the Scholar Walker like a rice dumpling. The Hitman Walker slung the Scholar Walker over his shoulder. Then, he turned to the Fairy Walker and said, "Let the Warrior Walker come over and help me draw the chord."
"Wow! What the hell do you want! Are you going to shoot me like an arrow?! "the Scholar said in a panic.
"This is the fastest way to get you out of the battlefield. Once you land, the Combat Aura Chain will automatically be removed. You need to hurry and activate the Forbidden Spell." The Hitman Walker and the Warrior had completed their switch. Both of them ran as fast as they could, pulling back the bowstring and releasing the Zongzi Scholar.
"Leave the calibration to me," the Lich said with a smirk as he moved closer.
"What else can you do besides bully me?!" the Scholar said angrily.
The Hitman ignored her and said to the Lich and the Warrior, "Ready, 1, 2, 3, fire!"
"Ahhhhh!!! When Hope returns, I'm going to sue all of you! "The Scholar's voice echoed from afar.
Seeing this, Baiyi could not help but feel like laughing. These idiots really know how to come up with a solution.
After firing the Scholar, the key to turning the tables, the Hitman Walker and the others slowed down. They were prepared to face the Grandruler head-on in order to buy the Scholar enough time. Suddenly, the three of them split up. The Hitman Walker raised his shield and stood in front of the group; the Warrior Walker switched to the Fairy and readied her combat aura bow; the Lich Walker slyly hid behind a dirt slope, tapped the ground with his green staff, and began to chant the forbidden spell he had cast earlier to summon the Hammerhead Shark Grim Reaper Plushie.
The Scholar Walker, on the other hand, was crying and throwing a tantrum. She fell headfirst into the soil, her legs facing the sky, and her hands pushing against the ground. She struggled with all her might, and it took her a lot of effort to pull herself out of the soil like a radish. She touched the top of her head, and she was so angry that she wanted to cry. The helmet of her beautiful female mage armor was completely flattened, and the decorative patterns on her head were completely twisted. Now, she looked like a toad.
"These bastards! Can't they just be a little gentler to the scholarly ladies?" The Scholar Walker said angrily. Due to the damage to her helmet, the Chanting Formation inside her armor had also been damaged. Her voice was muffled, making her sound even more like a toad.
"But … what forbidden spell should I use?" The Scholar Walker stood still and took out her storage pouch. Looking at the spellcasting materials inside, she found herself in a dilemma.
"Ugh … They always laugh at me for being an academic who doesn't know how to fight and only knows how to use spells of mass destruction. Hmph! Don't look down on me. This time, I'll show you the wisdom of academics! " The Scholar Walker muttered to herself as she took out a few materials from her storage pouch. She was ready to cast an unexpected control-type forbidden spell — Space Lock.
Strictly speaking, this forbidden spell was not really a forbidden spell. According to common sense, a forbidden spell should be a spell of mass destruction. Space Lock, on the other hand, was mainly used to create all kinds of large-scale private and independent spaces. The principle behind it was to cut out a piece of space, solidify it, and turn it into something similar to a brick. Then, many of these bricks would be prepared, and they would be pieced together using other spatial techniques.
For example, the Babel Tower, the Sorcerer's Association's headquarters, the Book of Servitude, and even Baiyi's Da Xue had all used this technique to create magical structures that were not large on the surface, but were actually hidden within.
Due to the difficulty of casting this spell and the materials required to cast it, this spell had been classified as a forbidden spell by some.
Baiyi's eyes lit up when he saw the Scholar Walker's plan. He said, "Space Lock is a wise choice. All we need to do is seal off the Grandruler's dimension and cut off his energy supply. That way, he will lose his greatest advantage as the ruler of Duat, which is an endless supply of energy. Then, it will become a war of attrition, and our side will have the upper hand. What an excellent choice! Even I wouldn't have thought of this so quickly. Looks like I've really underestimated you, to be able to make the right choice in such a short time."
"Heh … Heh heh … Of course! Don't look down on me!" The Scholar Walker replied. Although her words sounded righteous, why did it sound so lacking in confidence?
The Scholar Walker did not dare to say it out loud. She did not even think about the details of cutting off the energy supply. All she thought was that she needed to choose a powerful control-type spell to lock the Grandruler in place so that she could bombard him with her forbidden spells. Ordinary control-type spells did not have that much power and effect, so she thought of the Space Lock.
The Scholar Walker did not expect to choose the most optimal solution, so she could not help but feel a little embarrassed when she heard Baiyi's compliment.
As soon as the Scholar Walker made her decision, she hurriedly set up the necessary runes and formations for the spell. Meanwhile, the Hitman Walker, who was being pummeled by the Grandruler, was sent flying up and down. The Scholar Walker was very anxious, but the spell was too complicated. Without the help of the Book of Servitude, which was a bug-level item, she would not be able to complete it in a short amount of time, even with her level of attainment.
This put a lot of pressure on the remaining three Voidwalkers. Aside from the Hitman Walker, the Lich's Hammerhead Shark Grim Reaper had managed to sneak up on the Voidwalkers twice before the Grandruler caught the Grandruler in his hand and crushed it into a dead fish. The Lich Walker had also suffered some backlash and collapsed to the ground, never to get up again.
The three ladies, on the other hand, were unharmed by the Assassin Walker's swift and agile movements. However, the Grandruler Walker was not an idiot. When he realized that the three Voidwalkers were just buying time, and that a sorcerer was preparing a forbidden spell, he shouted, "Dancing the Turkey Dance by the water? Where's Galthery? Where are your troops now? The whole world is shocked! "(Note)
The message sounded like an encrypted message, as if it was meant to prevent the Voidwalkers from eavesdropping on the message. So, it led the skeletal dragons under its command, hesitating whether or not to search for the intruders. The Skeletal King, Galthra, felt a sudden sense of awkwardness. After weighing the pros and cons, it decided to send most of the skeletal dragons to support the frontline while it led thirty of them to the Grandruler's location.
Coincidentally, according to its return route, it happened to bump into the scholar who was busy preparing a Forbidden Spell …
At that time, the Scholar also realized that the Grandruler had discovered her presence and was calling for reinforcements. She was a little nervous, but her teammates were trying to buy time for her, and Isythre was also in danger. Under such heavy pressure, it was inevitable that her hands would tremble a little.
Therefore, when Galthra's skeletal dragons discovered her and were about to blast her with their dragon breaths, she was still busy drawing a complicated formation on the ground. She was completely unaware of the danger that was approaching from behind.
It was not until the skeletal dragon's eerie aura was right behind her that she realized what was happening. She turned around, and all she saw was the Dragon's Breath of Death coming right at her face.
At that moment, the Scholar made a choice that suited her status the most. She put her hands behind her head and crouched down.
At this point, Baiyi could not help but stop browsing. He glared at her coldly and asked, "Do you really think that this cute crouching technique is some kind of powerful defensive technique?"
"Heh … heh heh …" The Scholar chuckled awkwardly. "It's my first time participating in a large-scale battle, after all …"
'That's why I said that all academics are a bunch of shameful fools! They only deserve to eat other people's rice! ' Baiyi cursed inwardly. He did not have the self-awareness of being the leader of the academic community.
Of course, the Scholar's final fate was, of course, only a damaged helmet, which was repaired by the Blacksmith Guild's students. Someone had appeared in time to save her. The person who saved her, however, was completely out of Baiyi's expectations. It was the Sorcerer Walker, who wielded a training staff.
One should know that the Sorcerer Walker and the Scholar were always at loggerheads in the Void. From academic disputes to personal tastes to game coordination, the two of them were always at each other's throats. Who would have thought that at such a critical moment, the Sorcerer Walker would be the one to step forward?
The Sorcerer Walker waved his wand in the air, and a series of afterimages blocked all of the attacks. He even had the time to turn around and taunt the Scholar Walker. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Why is our Great Immovable Sage in such a sorry state? Where's your elegant chanting? Where's your art-like runes? Where's your intricate formations? "
The Scholar was rendered speechless by the Sorcerer Walker. She could only lower her head in shame.
"Alright, alright. I'll take care of this. Hurry up and finish your task." The Sorcerer Walker did not let the Scholar off the hook.
Now that she had a reliable shield, the Scholar Walker was relieved. She continued to draw the magic circle as she asked, "Why are you here?"
"Someone helped me, of course. It's a long story. Let's talk about it later," the Sorcerer Walker said casually. The magic staff in his hand blew away the last wisp of dragon breath. He then raised his head to look at the bone dragon circling in the sky and said with a smile, "Do you think that I can't do anything to you just because you can fly high?"
After saying that, he put away his staff and took out a longbow from his storage pouch. He nocked an arrow and began to shoot at the sky.
Shooting arrows at thirty skeletal dragons seemed like a stupid thing to do, but the Sorcerer Walker's figure split into two, then four, then eight. The Sorcerer Walker controlled seven illusions to shoot at the sky like a machine gun. It was as if the Sorcerer Walker had turned into an anti-aircraft gun turret, and a rain of bone fragments fell from the sky.
This was the ultimate technique of the Sorcerer Walker — Physical Doppelgangers. It was a much more advanced technique than the one Baiyi had used to confuse the enemy. Every doppelganger had the same attack power as the original. Combined with the magic arrows that looked ordinary but were actually infused with mana, the Sorcerer Walker's army of thirty skeletal dragons was caught off guard, and two of them were shot down.
When the Skeleton King, Galthery, noticed a new invader on the ground, he jumped down from the skeletal dragon's back. He looked at the Sorcerer Walker, who was holding a bow and arrow, and said, "I didn't expect a powerful archer to be hiding among the invaders. You have a special technique that I've never seen before? Not bad! You're qualified to be my opponent! "
