Chapter 165 Vivian's Helplessness
In terms of active aggressiveness alone, the undead are actually a relatively safe type of monster.
The undead have few needs and are very quiet. As long as you keep a sufficient distance from them, they will rarely take the initiative to cause trouble for other creatures.
In the Courtyard of the Dead, the real dangers are not the orthodox undead.
The liches with twisted mindsets and the demons that dominate the undead are the more dangerous ones.
Vivian felt very unlucky. She had been soaking in the Dead Sea basin day and night for a long time and finally managed to gather a group of standard constructed undead.
He originally wanted to use this group of constructed undead to collect some materials for making corpse demons in the bone burial ground, but as soon as he arrived at the bone burial ground, he was tricked by a demon.
The terrain of the burial ground is very flat, but there are also many hidden caves on the seemingly unobstructed land.
The undead actually don't like to bury themselves underground. Usually, behind those undead lurking underground, there are more cunning rulers.
The intermittent harassment from the moderately powerful Skeleton Undead made Vivian forget to retreat at the first opportunity.
The very smooth undead detention also consumed most of her magic power.
Everything was fine, but...
When the ugly monsters emerged from the ground, with more powerful souls and more advanced undead slaves, Vivian instantly lost the undead army that excited her.
In the absence of mental confinement of the undead, the class oppression of undead detention was fully demonstrated at this moment.
Even if she gave up the constructed undead in her hand, the sky filled with magic traps made Vivian lose the way to escape.
The monster did not kill her right away. Instead, it kept putting pressure on her like it was playing with its prey, and admired her struggle.
Born into a necromancer's family, Vivian seemed to be surrounded by undead creatures all the time since she could remember.
Although her life is pale, Vivian is not afraid of death.
The last corpse explosion in life may make that insidious monster pay some price.
Of course, the most important thing is to let yourself throw yourself into the corpse explosion, at least you won’t be turned into a lich or a corpse demon by the monster, and you won’t have to endure its evil torture.
Vivian was ready to face death calmly, but the sudden arrival of a cavalry team changed the situation.
A necromancer who controls dozens of terrifying knights?
After confirming Mu Hua's human identity, Vivian's first reaction was actually to feel funny. Would this make her death less lonely?
This madman has imprisoned a group of Terror Knights. Are you sure you can imprison the souls of the Terror Knights? It would be ok if he dared to let the Terror Knights go free, but he actually brought a demon with him.
My goodness, although she was surrounded, Vivian felt that this human named Mu Hua would die more miserably than herself.
There are many strange things in the Court of the Dead, and the necromancers and witches are sometimes really good at seeking death.
But Vivian still felt relieved about the ruthless man like Mu Hua.
At least, she was killed by the devil.
And this young wizard, who seems to have good talent, will definitely bring about his own death.
Sure enough, the opponent's demon started by dispelling, followed by Undead Liberation. Well, although the opponent had no hands, the opponent's Undead Liberation accurately covered all the Terror Knights.
The Terror Knights already had enough rationality, so it was not that easy to imprison them. What was even more difficult was to mentally imprison them to prevent a stronger imprisonment effect from affecting them.
Even if the monsters in front of them are unable to restrain these terror riders, undead restraints of sufficient strength can also disrupt the original restraint effects of the affected undead.
There is no mental confinement like a safety lock. When a group of terror knights who are smart enough break free from their restraints, on one side are the humans who imprisoned them, and on the other side are the demons who helped them to be freed from their restraints, it is almost a no-brainer to decide which side to attack.
Vivian had already begun planning for a corpse explosion, and was ready to order the centipede to chew her into a pulp...
After waiting for a while, Vivian was a little stunned.
The imagined rebellion did not happen, but the young man named Mu Hua raised the sword in his hand and pointed at the devil in the distance.
"Tear it up!"
A flash of fire appeared, and as Vivian looked on in surprise, a fireball filled the sky above her head, smashing towards the demon at the back of the battlefield with a strange whistling sound.
"Boom! Boom! Boom~" The explosion like a cluster bomb turned the demon into a huge torch.
"Roar!"
"Damn it, hellhound! Is it you? Is it you?" "Are these headless knights you detained? I will kill you, you stupid dog!" The devil roared angrily in the firelight.
"Bark~bark~bark~bark~, Master, this guy is as stupid as he looks." Zhou Yi let out a strange laugh beside Mu Hua.
At this time, black flame-like blood energy rose from the bodies of dozens of Terror Riders, with several Terror Riders holding dragon spears as the vanguard, and the violent aura enveloped the Purgatory Warhorses.
The cavalry assault, the knights' sudden attack skills, and the burst of combat skills of a group of terrifying cavalrymen, rushed into the chaotic battle in the sea of bones.
Broken bones flew everywhere, no matter whether they were skeleton undead or constructed undead, anything that blocked the Terror Cavalry's charge route was dispersed and crushed by the cavalry.
The black-armored skeleton general holding a shield flew backwards like a cannonball and smashed to the rear. The evasive Death Knight avoided the attack from the vanguard but was knocked off his horse by the Terror Knight following the flank.
Ten terrifying cavalrymen guarded Mu Hua on both sides, and Zhou Yi wandered in front of Mu Hua's warhorse. In the chaos of the battle, the skeleton undead that approached Mu Hua were inevitably turned into a pile of bones under Zhou Yi's pounce and bite.
"Bone wall!"
"Boom~!" The bone wall that rose from the ground brought with it the momentum of a landslide.
A thick and terrifying wall of bones blocked the path between the Terror Riders and the demons.
The improper fireball technique did not cause any substantial damage to the demon. The magic shield on the demon blocked the attack of the fireball, but the huge loss of magic power still made the demon extremely furious.
"The fortress collapsed!" A hoarse, low, and emotionless voice came from the body of the Terror Knight.
"Boom~Boom~" The two Terror Riders sped up their horses again. The men on their horses stood up and smashed the bone wall with their raised hammers. A gap appeared in the thick bone wall with a roar.
"Crack~~" The damage was enough to cause several riders riding parallel to collapse the bone wall.
Fortress Collapse, just like its name, this combat skill was created to target the city defense-level combat skill 'Unfallen Fortress'.
Compared to the city defense simulated by the Unbreakable Fortress, the Fortress Collapse is designed for destroying and breaking through the city.
The bone wall collapsed, and the white bones constructed by magic turned into light that polluted the earth. The demon behind the bone wall appeared in Mu Hua's sight again.
The demon in front of him was a monster-type demon. He did not have limbs in the conventional sense. His body structure was like that of a bean worm. The dozens of pairs of deformed tentacles beneath his body made it move like a bulky chariot.
The monster was surrounded by visible green wind light and the high-level magic Wind Acceleration, which was an auxiliary magic that used the power of wind to greatly increase its movement speed.
Because of this magic, the bulky chariot seemed to be added with high-energy fuel, and the monster's movement speed suddenly increased.
However, when Mu Hua saw the monster running away, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it didn't master the magic of flying.
The monster seemed to want to escape, but unfortunately the charging terror rider forced it to stop squirming. It let out an ear-piercing scream, and while the summoning magic circle was deployed, it called upon the skeleton undead in the chaos to cover it.
The demons of the monster species are generally deformed in appearance. They are somewhat similar to the "Indescribable" in the stories of the previous life. Because of their deformed bodies, they have difficulty in moving, so even if they do not practice necromancy, monsters will generally make some summoned beasts to protect them.
"Soul of Bones!" The summoned beast of this monster had no special features. It was just a group of skeletons of the four death knights. But when the summoned beast appeared, four or five souls of bones sprang out from the monster's body.
"Hu~" The monster raised half of its body, and its strange mouth that was like a mouthpart suddenly opened into a black hole, and countless ghosts poured out of the monster's mouth.
Evil spirits, murderous spirits, dead souls, and even two banshees in white dresses.
A large number of ghosts rushed towards the charging Terror Rider, although the Terror Rider's violent blood was enough to make it difficult for these ghosts to get close.
But under the harassment of these ghosts, the five bone souls also bit the five terror knights.
"Roar!" The Terror Riders roared, and two Terror Riders crushed the Bone Souls that tried to drill into their bodies.
Mu Hua's pupils contracted. The bone soul released by this monster was more powerful than the bone soul on his soul-eating staff.
The other three Terror Riders were unable to counteract the Bone Soul that penetrated into their bodies. Within just a few breaths, their souls were torn apart by the Bone Soul and they fell off their horses to death.
The Terror Rider is still the Terror Rider, but as a summoned beast, its constant attributes and imperfect ability system mean it cannot avoid the fate of a miscellaneous soldier.
"It's trying to escape back to the cave. Should we retreat first?" The girl with smoky makeup felt nervous when she saw the fallen Terror Knight. She reminded Mu Hua uneasily. The girl had already discovered that the attributes of Mu Hua and other Terror Knights were so low that they were scratching their feet.
However, unlike the girl, the bloated monster was also frightened when he saw the death of the Terror Rider.
The sensitive monster looked more carefully than the girl. Those dead terror riders did not drop any items, and it did not gain any level experience.
"No! Human! Stop! I am willing to pay sufficient compensation!" the monster yelled, Damn it, damn it, these might be a group of summoned beasts!
