Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Chapter 587 - 407: Six Major Buffs, a Brand-New Golden Mount!

Then, Fang Zhou turned to look at Ye Yinzhu and asked, "Are there any other Beneficial Skills?"

Ye Yinzhu immediately understood Fang Zhou’s meaning. While maintaining the rhythm of his chanting and music, he tore open another Magic Scroll.

"Cat’s Grace!"

As a feline phantom flashed by, the already swift Olaf became even more agile. His movements grew even swifter, each step as light as a cat’s as he rapidly closed in on the Magma Demon Leader.

Fang Zhou was delighted. "Ye Yinzhu, rest assured, your expense won’t be in vain this time. As long as we win, we’ll all be rewarded handsomely!"

Bull’s Strength, Cat’s Grace, Bear’s Endurance, Fox’s Cunning, Owl’s Insight, and Eagle’s Radiance. These six spells were rather famous in the Mythical World, known for being powerful and highly versatile pieces of Beneficial Magic. Due to their powerful effects, the cost to learn each of these Skills was quite high. However, it was clear his investment was paying off.

Bolstered by numerous enhancements, Olaf charged forward to engage the Magma Demon Leader in close combat. The creature was armed with an enchanted firearm. The others no longer had to worry about being picked off by that despicable creature!

The Magma Demon Leader persistently counterattacked with its enchanted firearm. But compared to Olaf, an elite unit brimming with buffs, its resistance seemed feeble. Olaf’s every swing carried the force of thunder, and his every dodge was perfectly timed. Although the Magma Demon Leader was equipped with an enchanted firearm, it was no professional Warrior. Combined with Olaf’s vastly enhanced agility and strength, its counterattacks were almost effortlessly neutralized.

Fang Zhou also cast Magic occasionally, helping Olaf maintain his optimal condition for nearly the entire fight.

However, the Magma Demon Leader was clad in Heavy Armor and possessed formidable Defense. Despite Olaf’s frenzied Attack Power, it was proving difficult to take the creature down quickly.

But Fang Zhou was not in a hurry. He monitored both the main battlefield and Olaf’s movements, constantly Casting to help his side press their advantage. At this rate, the Magma Demon Leader’s Death was only a matter of time.

Elsewhere, Gu Yueyuan had also figured out a way to counter the Fiery Demon Swamp Frog. After recovering from his initial shock, he realized the Fiery Demon Swamp Frog’s Attack Power wasn’t as terrifying as he first thought. The only reason it had been able to wipe out so many of his insect swarms in one go was likely because it had just emerged from the Volcano with a powerful buff.

This realization gave him confidence. He stopped confronting the creature directly and instead began running circles around the camp, desperately playing for time. The Fiery Demon Swamp Frog quickly waved its fins, setting nearly the entire camp ablaze, but it had no effective way to deal with the elusive Gu Yueyuan. Gu Yueyuan used his familiarity with the terrain to constantly weave through the camp, evading the Fiery Demon Swamp Frog’s attacks. He commanded his insect swarms to harass it from multiple directions, forcing the creature to divide its attention and making it unable to concentrate its power on him.

Once they had secured an advantage on the main front, Liu Diewu and Ye Yinzhu also found a moment to cast several Beneficial Skills on Gu Yueyuan, further enhancing his agility and reaction speed. These buffs greatly reduced the danger he was in.

Just then, Olaf let out a low roar and struck the Magma Demon Leader with his axe, sending it staggering back several steps and nearly knocking it to the ground.

Fang Zhou’s eyes lit up. After fighting for so long, this is the first time the enemy has shown such weakness!

"Skeleton Cage!"

Fang Zhou quickly began Casting. Several eerie White Bone Chains materialized from thin air at the Magma Demon Leader’s feet, swiftly entwining its legs. The Magma Demon Leader’s body lost its balance, staggering forward a few steps and almost falling.

"Poison Nova!"

As Fang Zhou Cast again, a massive, toxic aura erupted from his Magic Ball and enveloped the Magma Demon Leader’s body. The massive amount of Undead Corrosive Poison that had accumulated inside the already weakened Magma Demon’s body instantly erupted. Even its full suit of Heavy Armor couldn’t withstand the enormous damage bursting forth from within.

Its body began to convulse violently. Large cracks spiderwebbed across its skin, leaking a mixture of blood and lava. It could no longer stand, collapsing to the ground with a THUD and exposing its back. Its armor was corroded and riddled with holes, and its body rapidly deteriorated under the poison’s effects. Its breathing grew labored, and its eyes filled with desperation. Clearly, it was no longer able to fight.

Olaf, whose mind was linked with Fang Zhou’s, seized the opportunity to strike while the enemy was down, viciously swinging his War Axe.

One axe, two axes, three axes...

With the Magma Demon Leader grievously wounded and helpless on the ground, Olaf landed several more blows without restraint, carving gruesome wounds into its body. Each strike carried the force of thunder, shattering the Magma Demon Leader’s armor and sending blood flying. With his fifth strike, all of the Magma Demon Leader’s movements ceased.

This blow carried all of Olaf’s strength, landing squarely on the Magma Demon Leader’s neck. The blade bit deep into its flesh, and blood gushed out like a fountain. It merely reached a hand toward the Magma Volcano, seemingly wanting to say something, but only gouts of blood spilled from its mouth. Its arm fell heavily to the ground. The enchanted firearm it had been gripping so tightly was flung aside, landing nearby with a dull thud.

Through his Soul Eagle Eye, Fang Zhou saw the Magma Demon Leader’s exceptionally bright soul light dim in an instant. This meant its life had come to an end.

Fang Zhou couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief as a wave of victorious joy washed over him. He swiftly adjusted his strategy, preparing for whatever might come next.

Almost at the same time, another sigh echoed from the Magma Volcano, carrying with it an indescribable eeriness.

Gu Yueyuan, who was busy dodging the Fiery Demon Swamp Frog’s attacks, felt a sudden jolt of alarm. He remembered all too well that the last time he heard that sigh, half of his insect swarm had been instantly wiped out. This time, however, it seemed to be only a sigh. No new Fiery Demon Swamp Frogs leaped out.

Olaf turned and charged toward the Fiery Demon Swamp Frog. With his superior agility and body full of buffs, he immediately gained the upper hand.

Looking at the Magma Demons, who seemed bewildered and at a loss without their leader, an idea began to form in Fang Zhou’s mind. Having lost their leader, the Magma Demons descended into Chaos. Their formation began to loosen, and their movements slowed. Seizing the opportunity, Fang Zhou once again unleashed some Control Skills on these Heavy Armored Turtle Shells. Several White Bone Chains erupted from the ground, tightly binding a few Magma Demon Warriors and immobilizing them.

"Liu Diewu, are you interested in making it your animal companion?" Fang Zhou shouted, turning to her.

Liu Diewu was momentarily tempted; the Fiery Demon Swamp Frog, wreathed in magnificent flames, was certainly a striking sight. But she quickly shook her head. "No. I’m not a Natural Summoner, so the number of animal companions I can form a Contract with is limited. I still want to find a beautiful big cat, like a lion or a tiger."

Although she had wavered several times over her choice of animal companion, she still wanted one that possessed both power and a magnificent appearance. While this Fiery Demon Swamp Frog seemed special at first glance, she had seen through it in just the last few minutes. Its actual combat prowess was nothing special. Its attacks were fierce, but they lacked sustainability and precision, relying more on the intimidation of its size and flames.

"Then how about helping me out just this once?" Fang Zhou asked. "Let’s see if we can actually tame it!"
