Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone
Chapter 48: Fang Zhou Ranks First—Who Approves, Who Opposes?
CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: FANG ZHOU RANKS FIRST—WHO APPROVES, WHO OPPOSES?
Another fierce Skeleton Arrow Rain.
A few Little Inferior Demons wailed as they fell, and the ensuing explosion caused even more casualties.
Surrounded tightly by the Skeleton Army, the Little Inferior Demons were in disarray, and with the continuous magical strikes from Fang Zhou, their once high spirits quickly crumbled.
Several elite Little Inferior Demons waved their steel forks, roaring loudly, trying to stabilize their formation and hold out for reinforcements.
But soon, these prominent figures were precisely picked off by Fang Zhou using a two-hit combo of Skeleton Shackles followed by Skeleton Flying Spear.
At this moment, it was time for the bayonets to draw blood.
Fang Zhou completely disregarded the consumption of Spiritual Power as he frantically cast spells, aiming to inflict greater casualties on the Little Inferior Demon squad before the Horned Demon Boss arrived on the battlefield, thus reducing the difficulty of the upcoming battle.
In just two short minutes, the previously arrogant Little Inferior Demon squad had lost over half their numbers, and the remaining ones were all injured.
Meanwhile, the panting Horned Demon Boss was already roaring as it charged toward the battlefield.
Seeing its fierce figure, the near-demoralized Little Inferior Demons barely managed to rally their spirits, resisting the Skeletons’ assault with the desperation of cornered beasts.
"Cunning! Humans! Die!"
Amid the garbled roars of the Axed Heavy Armored Horned Demon, it charged toward the battlefield of the Little Inferior Demons and Skeletons like an unstoppable war machine.
Roar!
Under Fang Zhou’s expectant gaze, the heavy-bodied Horned Demon Boss stepped into a trap.
The fragile disguise couldn’t support the weight of its heavy armor and instantly collapsed.
Roar!
Another earth-shattering roar erupted as the Skeleton Flying Spear, which Fang Zhou had long planted in the trap, unleashed its power.
Fortunately, this Horned Demon Boss was clad in heavy armor with extremely high Defense Power; otherwise, those few Skeleton Flying Spears could have seriously injured it.
Amid the chaotic battle group, Fang Zhou didn’t know the exact situation inside the pit.
However, hearing the Horned Demon’s continuous wailing, it was certainly taking a hit and wouldn’t be climbing out anytime soon.
Having temporarily eliminated the major threat of the Horned Demon Boss, Fang Zhou felt relieved.
He turned to face the despairing Little Inferior Demons, revealing a humorously sinister smile.
"Let me personally arrange your funeral."
The Little Inferior Demons, having completely lost their morale, could no longer withstand Fang Zhou and the Skeleton Army’s fierce assault.
With another round of Skeleton Arrow Rain, the last Little Inferior Demon fell while wailing into a pool of blood, marking a phase victory for Fang Zhou.
After dealing with all the Little Inferior Demons, Fang Zhou didn’t rest at all.
He led the remaining over 30 Skeletons, pressing on unceasingly toward the Abyss Demon Child.
The Horned Demon Boss stuck in the trap was clad in heavy armor, boasting extremely high Defense Power, making it difficult to take down in a short time.
Since it couldn’t crawl out temporarily, it was better to first deal with those Abyss Demon Children, which posed the greatest threat to him.
At this moment, 6 Abyss Demon Children were anxiously heading toward the battlefield ahead.
Their movement speed was already slowest, initially blocked by Fang Zhou’s Skeleton Arrow Rain, causing them to lose pace with other demons in the Thick Fog Jungle.
It wasn’t until the shrieks of the Little Inferior Demons that the 6 Abyss Demon Children followed the sound to find the correct direction.
Unfortunately, they were too late.
Soon, Fang Zhou, leading the Skeleton Army, met these 6 panting Demon Children head-on.
Seeing Fang Zhou unharmed, these Demon Children immediately turned red-eyed.
As they prepared to unleash their Magic-Devouring Talent, Fang Zhou had already deftly slipped into the Skeleton crowd, evading their sight.
Without the Little Inferior Demons’ protection and besieged by the Skeleton Army, the fate of these 6 Demon Children needed no elaboration.
At the cost of three Skeleton casualties, these Demon Children, which should have been a major hassle for Fang Zhou, were easily surrounded and slaughtered by the Skeleton Army.
It wasn’t until then that Fang Zhou exhaled with relief.
His spontaneously devised battle plan was meticulous and seamless.
Taunting, luring, pulling, trapping...
Every step had to be without error, leading to the currently decisive situation.
Only Fang Zhou, with his Four-dimensional Attributes far surpassing ordinary people and the ability to Summon Skeleton Army, could truly execute this plan.
Without sufficient Skeleton labor, that critical giant trap wouldn’t have been dug in a short time.
Without high enough Agility Attribute, he would have long been caught and surrounded by the Little Inferior Demons.
Now, as long as the Horned Demon Boss trapped is dealt with, Abyss Difficulty could be successfully conquered.
Fang Zhou took a slight breath, easing his tense nerves, then led the Skeleton Army toward the trap.
At this moment, in the training ground.
Seeing the Horned Demon Boss roaring and struggling in the trap on the live broadcast, Ye Fan felt an inexplicable sadness, as if recalling himself being deceived by Fang Zhou’s optical camouflage half a month ago.
Instructor Chen Qingshan was right; those playing tactics have dirty minds.
The other students had long been dumbfounded.
When Fang Zhou just directed the Skeleton Army to dig the trap, his innovative ideas amazed everyone.
Before this, no first-year student thought it was possible to use the environment to triumph over enemies on the Simulation Battlefield.
They all believed that with Fang Zhou’s current strength, it was completely impossible to defeat the demons at the outpost under Abyss Difficulty head-on.
But they forgot that besides Fang Zhou’s terrifying strength, he was also a sagacious Mage who adeptly utilized every advantageous factor.
Subsequently, Fang Zhou’s deliberate luring, successful pulling, perfect dividing, and decisive beheading...
A series of dazzling maneuvers left these students in awe and complete submission.
If Fang Zhou’s performance wasn’t designated as the No. 1 Seed, it must be a scandal.
Interestingly, in the conference room, Lu Hu also excitedly pounded the table.
"Fang Zhou, No. 1 Seed, who agrees? Who opposes?"
The other instructors all sighed with admiration.
Skilled in both literature and martial arts, possessing both courage and wisdom.
As long as Fang Zhou doesn’t fall prematurely, he will definitely become a great general of the Human Alliance.
Su Tiankuo lightly coughed, glaring at Lu Hu, "Quiet down! Don’t pop the champagne halfway; the toughest Heavy Armored Horned Demon isn’t dealt with yet.
Relying on Fang Zhou’s summoned bony minions, I fear you’ll lose teeth and fail to harm a single hair of the Heavy Armored Horned Demon."
Lu Hu grinned, already sensing Principal Su’s feigned bravado.
He dared not be presumptuous anymore and turned his eyes back to Fang Zhou’s live broadcast.
...
In the Thick Fog Jungle.
Fang Zhou looked at the Horned Demon Boss in the trap, whose defense was extremely high and Life Energy extraordinarily tenacious, feeling somewhat distressed.
This creature was too hard to kill.
The Horned Demon’s Scale Armor defense was already far superior to cannon-fodder demons like Little Inferior Demons and Demon Children, let alone this Horned Demon, which served as the Abyss Difficulty’s boss and was clad in heavy armor.
With its Defense Power, the Skeletons summoned by Fang Zhou could hardly inflict effective damage.
