Chapter 246 Death Incarnation

The moment the battle began, Julia and Fat Tiger rushed out first. Roy ordered Fat Tiger to intercept the flying bone dragons from the sky. These giant skeletons were the most suitable for Fat Tiger to deal with, and Julia’s targets were the death knights and wights.

And Roy used magic to support from the rear. Among the troops under Arantir, the number of skeleton soldiers and zombies was at least three to four times more than Cassandra’s. If he ignored these skeleton soldiers, Cassandra’s troops would immediately collapse, so Roy’s main targets were these skeleton soldiers and zombies.

Except for vampires, dark curses like Suffering were useless against most undead, so it was better to attack them directly. Roy raised his hand, and an Ice Storm directly enveloped Arantir’s vanguard.

Large and sharp black ice spikes appeared out of thin air and smashed toward the ground like heavy rain, clearing out the fragile skeleton soldiers and zombies the moment they landed! Only a few were left… There were tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers and zombies! Seeing this, Arantir could not help being shocked. Isn’t the range of this demon’s magic a little too large?!

In fact, not to mention tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers, even if there were hundreds of thousands, Roy could clear them up all at once. After all, when Roy used all his power, his magic coverage could even affect an entire city.

The front was empty, and Cassandra took the opportunity to command the troops to advance toward Arantir. But at this moment, Arantir’s counterattack arrived.

As he waved the staff in his hand, green magic light enveloped the battlefield. The broken bones left behind by the skeleton soldiers, who had been smashed by the Ice Storm, unexpectedly moved again under the light of this spell. The next second, as though invisible hands were pushing and assembling them, these broken bones actually automatically reformed skeleton soldiers once more!

Although their bones were full of cracks, these skeleton soldiers still moved. They reformed the front line to block Cassandra’s troops and fought against the skeleton soldiers under her control.

“Raise Dead?” Roy frowned as he immediately realized what spell Arantir was using.

Although undead creatures appeared terrifying and looked like skeletons, the combat effectiveness of most undead was actually relatively weak. After losing their flesh bodies, their movements would become much stiffer, and their strength would definitely decrease substantially compared to when they were alive. Similarly, after losing their souls, they could only obey orders, and it was impossible for them to react on the spot. When an opponent slashed at them, they would only meet the enemy without dodging, making them more likely to receive injuries.

Normally, the overall combat strength of such troops would definitely decrease considerably, but it would be totally different with a necromancer commanding undead troops!

And the most important ability of a necromancer was this ‘Raise Dead’ spell!

Think about it. Although it was very easy for a living person to kill these undead, the necromancer cast this spell, causing them to rise again. They would be cut down and stand up repeatedly. They did not know fatigue and would continuously consume your stamina. As long as they could catch a hint of your carelessness, they would be able to kill you. Who wouldn’t be afraid of such opponents?

Roy was facing the same situation now. Although he could use Ice Storm to clear these skeleton soldiers again, as long as Arantir used magic, they would rise again. If this continued, it would become a magic power consumption competition with Arantir. Although Roy had the high-speed magic power recovery effect of the Cold Winter Armor and would not be afraid of any battle of attrition, what was the point?

I have to make them utterly unable to move! Roy thought as he released magic again.

This time, he did not use Ice Storm. Instead, he let the black frost and snow directly drift to where Arantir’s skeleton army was. The temperature in the desert began to plummet.

Under the influence of the low temperature, Arantir’s skeleton soldiers began to slow down. As the temperature fell again, thick ice began to condense on these bones, and in the end, they were all frozen into ice sculptures! And Cassandra clearly realized Roy’s intentions. Under her control, her skeleton soldiers did not attack these frozen skeletons but rushed through the gaps between them, completely ignoring the ice sculptures.

Without a doubt, this move really exceeded Arantir’s expectations. skeleton soldiers and zombies were very weak, and Roy’s ice power was so powerful. The thick black ice was not something that the skeleton soldiers and zombies could break from the inside. This way, even though Arantir had the Raise Dead spell, it was useless.

These skeleton soldiers and zombies were all crippled…

He did not expect that he would be suppressed by the demon’s magic at the beginning of the battle. Arantir’s eyes gleamed as he quickly waved the staff in his hand. He first cast Air Shield and Protection from Water on himself. He knew very well that the enemy had fewer troops, and it was possible for him to execute the decapitation tactic and directly attack the leader. And the demon opposite him was very good at using air magic and water magic (lightning and ice magic are classified into these two categories in Ashan), so he had to ensure his safety first.

As expected, Roy thought the same. The moment Arantir just completed his defensive magic, Roy’s Finger of Death arrived! Black lightning flashed from Roy’s fingertip, pierced through the night sky, crossed more than a kilometer, and almost instantaneously arrived in front of Arantir. Then, as though it hit an invisible wall, it exploded!

If not for Arantir’s quick reaction, he would have been hit!

Arantir’s magic power was strong enough. This Air Shield blocked Roy’s powerful lightning and did not disappear. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Arantir began to counterattack.

His mental power spread out and enveloped Cassandra’s undead army. The skeleton soldiers immediately fell into great disorder and began to attack their companions without distinguishing between friend and foe.

“Master, he is fighting with me for control of these skeleton soldiers!” Cassandra hurriedly reported to Roy.

“Stay steady!” Roy had not actually expected Cassandra’s skeleton soldiers to be of much use. “Just affect his energy!”

“Yes, Master!” Cassandra did not say anything else and began to focus on fighting against Arantir.

Roy turned his gaze to Fat Tiger and Julia. At this time, both Fat Tiger and Julia were in trouble. Julia was fighting against the death knights and wights. Relying on the advantage of being able to fly quickly and the power of hellfire, she had killed several death knights and wights one after another since the battle began. But the liches behind Arantir were providing support to the death knights. The liches fired countless death rays at Julia, shattering her magic shield. The corrosive power contained in the death rays damaged Julia’s armor and slightly injured her body. At this moment, she did not dare to continue attacking the death knights anymore but just kept flying in the air, avoiding the death rays shot by the liches.

On Fat Tiger’s side, he was being besieged by several bone dragons. Fat Tiger was enormous, but the bone dragons were not small either. Although these bone dragons retained their dragon skeletons, after losing their flesh, they also lost the magical power of the dragons, so they could only rely on their remaining dragon fangs and claws to fight against Fat Tiger. Although Fat Tiger had three heads and had wide-area attacks, Fat Tiger was still bitten and howled when these bone dragons, which were not afraid of pain, exchanged wounds with him.

Roy noticed that in the places where the bone dragons bit Fat Tiger, there was very little blood flowing out. But it was strangely shriveled around the wounds, as though the muscle tissues there had completely lost their vitality.

This was probably the most terrifying ability of the bone dragons: aging! Perhaps because of the contamination of the power of death, the bone dragons had a chance to have this aging ability when they were born. This ability was not time magic, but more like a kind of poison. Enemies attacked by them would experience rapid metabolism in a short time and exhaust their nutrients, thereby rapidly aging and dying. Fat Tiger’s strength was superior to that of these bone dragons, and he could easily knock them down and suppress them. As long as Fat Tiger bit the bone dragons, the powerful bite force would crush their bones. However, there were dozens of bone dragons, but Fat Tiger was by himself. After crushing a few bone dragons, there would immediately be a few more bone dragons coming to attack Fat Tiger. Moreover, these bone dragons would even be revived by Arantir’s Raise Dead. If this continued, Fat Tiger would die under the siege of the bone dragons sooner or later.

Seeing this situation, Roy did not hesitate at all. He cast Bloodlust and Lightning Shield on Fat Tiger to make it easier to deal with them. As for Julia, Roy gave her an Ice Shield, creating a ring of ice armor around her to block the death rays.

After doing this, Roy flashed across the entire battlefield and directly arrived above Arantir. He stretched out his hand to summon Frostmourne and slashed at Arantir!

Clang! Arantir raised his staff barely in time to block Roy’s attack.

But under Roy’s powerful slash, the undead warhorse under Arantir knelt. The bones at its knees broke, and its entire body was pressed into the yellow sand.

With the undead warhorse as a buffer, Arantir rolled away awkwardly and escaped from Roy’s sword. The moment he stood up, he did not hesitate at all. He slammed his staff on the ground and shouted, “Asha uses all! Come out, Death Incarnation!”

Roy had just flashed behind Arantir and planned to stab him with his sword. But he did not expect a huge magic formation to appear on the ground with Arantir’s body as the center. Roy was in the magic formation and could only get out when he saw that the situation was bad.

The next second, a gigantic claw emerged from the ground, exactly where Roy was just now. It was an incomparably gigantic… dragon claw!

Although it still looked like a skeleton, the claw was covered in black death fog. With a click, the dragon claw squeezed on the spot. After failing to pinch Roy, it turned around and slammed on the ground, raising an immense sandstorm.

Right on the heels of that, another identical gigantic claw drilled out. With the support of the two claws, a dragon head with the same black death fog came out of the sand…
