Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge - Chapter 82

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Overwhelming Strength in Battle

“Xiao Yurou, how could you be hunted by the exam team?”

No wonder Zi Liyuan was puzzled; to ensure Shen Yurou could defend herself, he had given her a Spatial Backpack containing a random Teleportation Scroll before entering the instance. With that item, it shouldn’t have been possible for her to be cornered.

Moreover, he had prepared several sets of special-purpose equipment for Shen Yurou, including one specifically designed for running away and speeding up.

With all these preparations, as long as she wasn’t recklessly overextending, it would be extremely difficult for others to trap her.

As for anyone who might have trouble with her alone, Zi Liyuan didn’t mind at all; after all, a homemade bomb’s power was too simple to one-shot someone. If she caught them off guard, it was even conceivable she could flip the tables on the members of the four great royal families.

Zi Liyuan, accompanied by a Hellish Mage Golem, walked up to Shen Yurou and asked curiously.

Shen Yurou felt somewhat embarrassed and didn’t know how to start explaining.

On her first day in the Martial Exam instance, she was hunted for no reason, and out of frustration, she began to take revenge on those who chased her under the cover of night.

As a result, this bunch started spreading rumors about her, claiming she was a member of an Evil Organization who specialized in hunting examinees for points. This led to several days where she was constantly targeted by examinees, culminating in an incident where over a thousand people surrounded her.

This time, she escaped using the random Teleportation Scroll Zi Liyuan had given her before entering the Martial Exam instance.

However, the other party didn’t want to let her go and pursued relentlessly using tracking abilities.

In situations like the siege today, which had already happened twice these days, she was actually confident she could escape.

What truly troubled her was the never-ending pursuit which significantly slowed down her point accumulation and exhausted a large amount of supplies in her Spatial Backpack.

If this continued, she feared she might not last until the Third Order phase before running out of resources.

Therefore, she intentionally began fleeing towards the central boss area of the city, knowing that Zi Liyuan would definitely be around. Once she found him, wouldn’t it be easy to handle these people chasing her?

After hearing about Shen Yurou’s encounters over the last ten days, Zi Liyuan’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

This seemed like getting trapped and beaten after courting disaster, which explained her dire straits—it’s no wonder she was in such disarray.

In the end, it was because Shen Yurou wasn’t strong enough and didn’t have enough trump cards. If she could pull out a Gundam now, or a reliable Dongfeng Express missile, do you think these examinees would dare to chase her?

That’s why the little sister was better off staying by his side, helping with his scientific research, tightening a few screws, creating some mechanical contraptions, and by the way, she could be in an OL uniform with black stockings, giving him some eye candy, right?

“Yurou, from now on, stay by my side and diligently analyze and research the things I gave you before entering the instance, especially the [Goblin Lumbering Mecha – Type One], Try to develop an exoskeleton armor suitable for the Human Race.”

As for those who dared to target his woman, of course, he couldn’t let them off. It was time to clean them out of the instance!

Without waiting for Shen Yurou’s response, Zi Liyuan arrogantly decided her upcoming task and then looked sternly at the examinees who were still battling against the Skeletons.

Without Zi Liyuan’s magic as a threat, relying solely on the Skeletons to exterminate these examinees would take who knows how long.

Fortunately, there was only one staircase entrance to this level. The rest were blocked by various debris and stones; otherwise, these guys would have run off long ago. Why would they honestly fight with skeletons?

As frontline Skeleton Warriors were shattered in close combat, Zi Liyuan began to recall the Voodoo Skeletons, and clouds of poison gas started to form on the battlefield. The gas spread out and gathered together, quickly covering a large part of the floor.

By using poison gas to reduce the visibility of the exam candidates, Zi Liyuan continued to use spells to harvest their lives.

The reduced visibility caused chaos for the opposing healing team. Trying to lock onto the frontline warriors for precise healing became more difficult, leading to frequent errors in managing the warriors’ health.

As for dedicating some people to using purification abilities to clear the poison gas, they truly wanted to but were powerless to do so.

Dozens of Voodoo Skeletons continuously released poison gas skills at the candidates’ location. Before one cloud could be dispersed, several more followed. How could they possibly clear them all?

Zi Liyuan, with the scouting effects of the Eyes of Death and Shadow, was completely unaffected by the obscuring poison gas.

Shen Yurou pulled out a clunky pair of mechanical glasses and put them on. Through thermal imaging, she could roughly see what was happening inside the poison gas.

Taking advantage of the poison gas coverage that obscured vision, he stealthily selected a dozen or so boss corpses with total health around 30,000 from the Spatial Backpack and had the Berserk Skeletons quietly drag the corpses to the front lines of the melee.

A few meters away, several Skeletons worked together to hurl the corpses into the candidates’ territory.

Before the corpses even hit the ground, Zi Liyuan had already begun to set off the Corpse Explosion Technique.

Each corpse could deal about 18,000+ physical damage, and the explosion radius could cover a 10-meter area. The ferocious onslaught of death energy could obliterate the candidates instantly, effectively clearing a ten-meter area in one fell swoop.

More than a dozen boss corpses blew a large gap in the candidate team’s formation. Under Zi Liyuan’s command, the Berserk Skeletons immediately seized the opportunity, surged into the gap, and started slashing at the fragile Assassins and Mages within!

Having breached the formation, Zi Liyuan naturally wouldn’t allow the candidates to close the gap. Bone Spear ability began to shoot out like a machine gun.

He hadn’t thought much of this ability before, but now it proved to be incredibly effective.

With a short casting time, low Spiritual Energy consumption, and a level 9 rank, it ejected nine spears at a time. Though not highly damaging, it was a group damage ability without a cooldown period.

And this ‘not highly damaging’ was relative to the powerful abilities Zi Liyuan controlled; to these ordinary candidates, it could still deliver a solid 1,300+ Magic Damage, which meant a single Bone Spear could eliminate one-tenth to one-fifth of a candidate’s total health.

In situations where Spiritual Energy consumption was no object, this ability functioned like a machine gun, with a “BiuBiuBiu” of rapid fire, throwing the candidates into complete disarray.

Every to, 15 seconds, or similar intervals, high-damage Magic spells like Shadow Arrow Rain, Death Shadow Arrows, and Bone Spears would successively fall into the healing team of the candidates, killing the healers in the team.

Watching his Spiritual Energy plummet but the fruits of victory grow ever larger, especially since the opposing healers were completely unable to control their team’s health, Zi Liyuan’s previously furrowed brows finally relaxed.

However, he was not satisfied with the current state of the battle. Although it was a fight where he had an overwhelming force, he had to rely on wearing down the enemy over time, using attrition tactics to gradually control the battle and gradually eliminate the enemy.

This was entirely different from the Undead Scourge he had envisioned in his mind.
