Chapter 168 Death Breath
The burial ground is vast, and this is not a wrong word.
It is almost the size of a province and is a paradise for the dead.
Here, insufficiently strong adventurers might even be defeated and forced to retreat due to the constant harassment from ghosts.
It was another battlefield of bones. Vivian hid far away at the edge of the battlefield, sitting beside the hideous jaws of the giant skull of the centipede death scythe, knocking her feet as she watched the cavalry raging on the battlefield.
"You are looking for death, everyone else is not looking for trouble, but you are!" With a rude rebuke, the terror cavalry made way, and Mu Hua was seen waving a giant war hammer, crossing the battlefield and heading straight for the group of spellcasters at the back of the battlefield.
He ignored all the attacks from swords and axes. With his own defense and immunity to low-level impacts, the skeleton undead below the level of Skeleton General could not cause any damage to Mu Hua, not even the kind that would scratch his skin.
With low-level shock immunity, physical attacks basically do not have the problem of an ant biting an elephant. The blood-sucking tactics in group battles can only delay the pace and consume physical strength, but the damage is completely meaningless.
Bone spears and bone souls would be intercepted and dispersed by the accompanying Terror Knights, and occasionally some low-level elemental magic would at most make Mu Hua stagger and feel pain.
His regenerative ability gave him extraordinary vitality, and even if his skin was torn, he could still regenerate and recover in a short time.
Leaving aside the attack, Mu Hua is now really too strong.
This is the outskirts of the Boneyard. Although we occasionally encounter a small number of Death Knights, the strength of the monsters here other than the skeleton undead are very average.
At present, this group of undead is led by a Baran demon. This goat-headed demon is a well-known berserker in hell. However, because some of them can activate the jealousy-related inheritance in their blood, this demon tribe also produces many necromancers.
Compared to the fat worm monster earlier, the Baran demon who can comprehend the breath of death has a higher potential as a necromancer.
This kind of middle-level demon doesn't have any evolutionary lineage, but according to legend, they have the bloodline of jealousy. Once activated, through training as a necromancer, their growth ceiling is very high, and it is not impossible for them to become lords or demon kings.
The Balang demon is a demon with an ordinary origin but an inestimable growth limit. Of course, because of the low starting point and fewer growth paths among the demons, only a few can really grow up. This kind of demon is quite similar to humans.
Facing Mu Hua holding the terrifying war hammer, the Baran demon's face was filled with panic.
"Die!" As an evil wind blew, Mu Hua shouted loudly, and smashed the heavy but ferocious war hammer at the Baran demon. The hammer head was very similar to its head.
"Bang!" The bone shield was worn out and shattered layer by layer under the pressure of brute force. The Baran demon, who was unable to dodge the force, could only watch the warhammer approaching him.
"Puff~!" The magic shield was broken. This hammer called Bone Dragon Breaker had the ability to destroy the structure of the spell. Even the magic shield could hardly maintain its attack.
"Bang!" The war hammer swept past, bringing up a purple mist.
The headless Baran demon stood stiffly on the ground, shaking his body, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into dust.
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
Heads were smashed by the warhammer, and corpses with broken bones and tendons lay limp. Mu Hua ran on foot, dragging the warhammer, chasing the lich on the battlefield.
That's right, if they were to run on foot, the Bone Dragon Breaker would be too heavy, and the Infernal Warhorse summoned by Mu Hua was also a bit 'malnourished', so they couldn't run while carrying it.
All the spellcasters were killed, but the two skeleton warriors holding fireballs were quite interesting to Mu Hua. Although there were still hundreds of skeleton undeads here, he could just hand them over to his own terror knights.
Dozens of summoned terror riders surrounded two wild terror riders and fought against them. The reason why Mu Hua rushed into the formation and killed the spellcasters was only to prevent them from throwing corpses and exploding again.
The undead here are all led by the Baran demon just now. By the way, Mu Hua actually doesn’t want to provoke these demons. His main purpose now is to collect ashes.
He brought sixty terrifying knights with him, and the liches and demons he encountered were usually unwilling to pay attention to him.
Mu Hua has been clearing out groups of undead without spellcasters. Earlier, he attacked an undead camp with terror knights, but the Baran demon launched a sneak attack.
At present, the Terror Knight has not been killed yet, so Mu Hua sent the Baran Demon away first. He was really worried that it would throw out the wasteful corpse explosion magic.
'Bone Dragon Breaker', apart from his soul-specific weapon, this should be considered Mu Hua's first weapon in the strict sense.
Apart from being heavy, there is no major problem. Mu Hua temporarily needs to use the power to strengthen it. And after picking it up, a good cavalry mage becomes an infantry warrior, but its shield-breaking ability is really quite useful.
He put away the warhammer, rode on the Infernal Steed, picked up the dropped items of the Baran Demon, and under the cover of four Terror Riders, rushed out of the battlefield, stopped on the outskirts, and waited for the battle to end.
Rune Robe: Sturdiness 300, constant focus, magic gathering circle, mana recovery increased by 20%, enchantment: soft barrier.
Dark purple robe, common robe style, the biggest difference between enchantment and charging is that there is no limit on the number of uses. It can be simply understood as a higher-end enchantment process.
A staff charged with purification and dispelling was ignored by Mu Hua.
After changing the robe he was wearing, Vivian looked at Mu Hua dressed like a spellcaster. Thinking about how he had just smashed the devil with a sledgehammer, her expression was indescribably strange.
"Mu Hua, don't let them run to the west. There are two water flowers over there." Mu Hua was about to smelt the magic stone of the Baran demon when Vivian said beside him.
"Yeah. I saw it just now." Mu Hua responded casually.
After rescuing Vivian, the Gothic Lolita earlier, Mu Hua had a little tail.
Vivian's constructed undead were almost all destroyed, but she came to the Undead Courtyard mainly to collect magical materials for making corpse demons.
Following Mu Hua didn't require her to fight. Mu Hua had no intention of driving her away, and it didn't conflict with her original purpose.
Mu Hua was in a daze as usual, and Vivian didn't say much. The magic stones dropped by the Baran demon were probably at level six or seven, but Mu Hua was smelting the magic stones.
Death Breath skill stone*1, Hundred Refinements Secret Stone*7, Soul Dust*42.
The smelting of magic stones is completely incomparable to a complete corpse. Another breath of death appeared, which surprised Mu Hua a little. The magic stone dropped by the insect-shaped monster earlier gave him one.
Because the effect of this magic is very practical, Shi Muhua did not use the new Death Breath skill as a material to improve his skill level.
Instead, he invested seven Hundred Refinement Secret Stones into Death Breath, and the Death Breath in the skill bar reached level 11.
Death Breath LV11: Converts the breath of death into pure magic power, and increases magic power recovery efficiency by 55%. Because it has the effect of gathering death energy, it has a certain attraction to undead creatures.
This is a power exclusive to necromancers. It is not difficult to see from the literal explanation that if one does not have a psychic physique, learning this magic is undoubtedly tantamount to suicide.
Some necromancers have extraordinary magic power. In battle, their spells seem to have a certain excess of their actual magic power. The key is probably this ability.
For humans, this is a very rare ability. It does not belong to magic in the conventional sense and is almost impossible to learn. It can only be acquired through perception.
There is no need to explain the value of increasing the speed of mana recovery. What Mu Hua cares about most is that it is said that after this ability is practiced to a high level, it should be transformed into a talent he has been looking for - the Lord of Paleness.
This made Mu Hua think of the situation when the skill was at the maximum level. Anyway, the mana recovery effect was very practical. Even if the legend was false, it would not be a loss to use this skill.
Strictly speaking, the most terrifying thing about this ability is not the magic recovery, but the attraction of the undead. People with this ability are like having an affinity with the undead.
The undead like the breath of death. If Mu Hua activates this ability, the undead creatures will treat him as one of their own kind. The so-called Pale Lords are often beings who command thousands of undead.
Although possessing the Breath of Death cannot make undead creatures surrender, it makes communicating with them easier and increases the chances of subduing them.
The most important thing is that this ability affects his regeneration skills.
The current level of the regeneration skill card is a prerequisite for the Pale Lord, and regeneration may affect the upgrade of Summoning of the Undead.
When he first got the Death Breath skill stone, Mu Hua was very excited.
Now that he has obtained another one, Mu Hua suddenly feels that this ability seems quite cheap in front of his own precious stove?
However, no matter what, your own followers can learn it. Even if you don't consider the potential of this ability, the magic recovery effect is very practical, so you must equip your own followers with it first.
