Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Chapter 694 - 461: Earth Magic Crystal, Blood Battle of Advancement

With his current mana, Fang Zhou could cast from hundreds of meters away, stealthily projecting his magic toward the target.

However, the Attack Magic he currently used was mostly linear, whether it was the Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear or the Poison Cloud Skill.

This limited Fang Zhou’s capabilities.

If cast from too far away, the magic’s effect would undoubtedly be diminished by obstructions like trees along its path, consuming its power.

Fang Zhou found a tree dozens of meters tall and used Skeleton Flash to reposition himself on top of it.

Casting from here, he could avoid most of the trees that would obstruct his magic.

He also summoned some elite Corpse Archers and stationed most of the Corpse Warriors nearby to serve as his last line of defense.

Once preparations were complete, Fang Zhou checked the time and began casting.

After sketching the Magic Rune, a Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear materialized and hovered by his side. He glanced at it.

He was now at the Upper-rank of Black Iron, and the attack strength of this magic was far greater than when he had first broken through.

According to the precious information Fang Zhou had tirelessly obtained from Instructor Su Xinyan, once Magic Professionals reached the High Tier, they gained access to numerous Super Magic Casting Techniques. These techniques could be used to greatly enhance a Mage’s combat power.

These Super Magic Casting Techniques included methods to quicken casting, increase magic strength, and extend its range.

Fang Zhou’s power had increased so rapidly that he might soon be able to delve into these high-level techniques.

Just like this Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear... If I could augment it with Magic Penetration or Magic Enhancement, its attack strength would be significantly higher. It wouldn’t even matter if it consumed more mana.

Suppressing his wandering thoughts, Fang Zhou began the attack.

Using the mana scan from his [Soul Eagle Eye] skill, the entire pack of Earth Demon Bears hundreds of meters away was laid bare to his perception.

It was noon, the time when the otherworld’s sun was at its fiercest. Unsurprisingly, the Demon Bears were at their drowsiest.

In twos and threes, they ambled about the mountainside, looking for cool places to rest.

Most lay on the ground, while some wrestled playfully.

Still others were engaged in the crucial act of procreation, doing their part to expand the clan.

In this state, the Earth Demon Bears were naturally vulnerable.

A faint smile touched Fang Zhou’s lips as he made his choice.

As his mana surged, the Death Elf Vigus cast a spell in unison with him.

Two Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spears shot forth with a deafening shriek.

The two Earth Demon Bears Fang Zhou had selected were vigorously mating in a cool spot, completely oblivious to the impending danger.

BANG!

SPLAT!

The two Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spears shot out in quick succession.

The first one hit the male Earth Demon Bear in the head.

Empowered by the Soul Shattering Magic Ball’s potent Magic Penetration, the spear instantly breached the bear’s circulating mana defense, leaving a wound on its head.

Before it could restore its mana supply, the second Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear struck its head in the exact same spot.

This time, its head exploded like a watermelon.

Blood gushed down, splattering onto the female Earth Demon Bear beneath it.

The female Earth Demon Bear opened her eyes in confusion, only to see her once-powerful mate now a headless corpse, teetering before it collapsed.

The female Demon Bear let out a terrified roar, but the sound didn’t travel far.

Two more Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spears arrived in quick succession, killing her on the spot.

Although the Earth Demon Bear clan occupied the rugged mountain, they were not clustered together, instead scattered across its various corners.

With Fang Zhou and Vigus casting continuously, one Earth Demon Bear after another fell to them.

Thanks to the concealment provided by the Undead Sky Screen, the bears on the mountain were perplexed by the constant shrieking sound of projectiles. Some were even awakened by it, but none could detect anything unusual.

However, as time passed and Fang Zhou killed nearly thirty of them, the overwhelming stench of blood finally alerted the remaining Earth Demon Bears.

The leading Demon Bear King raced furiously across the mountain. It saw the corpses of its kin, many of whom were its mates, their heads exploded as they lay dead beneath the trees.

ROAR!

The enraged Earth Demon Bear Monarch stood atop a massive boulder, roaring. It pounded the rock with its strong, powerful arms, sending stone fragments flying.

It could only see the corpses of its kin but found no trace of the enemy, leaving it to fume in impotent rage.

A large group of Earth Demon Bears gathered together, roaring with extreme anger and fear.

Seeing this, Fang Zhou frowned slightly.

Now that they’re gathered together, these intelligent bears might be able to use their considerable Energy Perception to trace the incoming magic back to my position.

Still, it’s not a major problem. After assessing the disparity in power between his side and the enemy’s, Fang Zhou felt no pressure and decisively continued casting.

He continuously launched one lethal Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear after another.

The pack of Earth Demon Bears scrambled about like headless chickens, unable to find the enemy even as their kin fell one by one.

Finally, one of the Earth Demon Bears identified the direction from which the magic was coming.

It roared loudly, communicating its discovery to the other Demon Bears.
