Chapter 255: Going to War with the Halo
As a mixture of plague mist and the sandification of undead corpses appeared on their bodies, the pale bones of the skeleton warriors began to show black and green spots of copper rust.
They look like solid and liquid, and through the pale color of the bones, one can see that something is flowing inside them.
Just like bone marrow.
But it's not the whole body, instead the skeletons' specific parts appear separately, the skeleton warrior's sword and shield, the skeleton knight's spear and the skeleton horse's hooves, the skeleton archer's longbow, and the skeleton wizard's bone staff.
They are endowed with the attribute of [Plague], and every attack or spell they cast will bring severe plague damage to the enemy.
Even the undead are not immune to it. Under the tempering of the soul fire and the strengthening of [Tombstone] and [Vampiric Soul], this plague is no longer something that only living things can be infected with.
The immortal dead will also feel pain under the power of the plague.
At the same time, for Mo Cheng, the biggest changes are just beginning.
The towering tombstone beneath him was softening and falling, like mud being shaped. Finally, a huge throne was formed under Mo Cheng.
With pale as the main color, white bones as the armrests, the backrest is like a door of life and death, and the slightly opened door seems to absorb all souls.
"The simultaneous strengthening of [Tombstone] and [Vampiric Soul]?"
Feeling the message conveyed, perhaps it was because the power nature of the Soul Emperor and the Undying Corpse King was similar, or perhaps the positioning of the two really overlapped.
When Mo Cheng used [Bloodsucking Soul] and [Tombstone] together, the two skills formed a strange resonance, devouring the soul fire left behind by killing the dead spirits, and even pushed the change to a point that Mo Cheng did not quite understand.
With the combined efforts of [Bloodsucking Soul], [Tombstone] and Soul Fire, the skeleton soldiers summoned by [Bloodsucking Soul] became Mo Cheng Guards, and the undead corpses summoned by [Tombstone] became skeleton warriors. The Soul Fire gave them wisdom.
The undead corpses that originally had a [skill time limit] and would disappear once the [tombstone] duration was over now have no time limit, but the number of undead corpses that appear as the number of enemies increases will also be gone.
These skeleton soldiers can be destroyed and strengthened.
Mo Cheng himself didn't know whether he had made a loss or a profit in this situation.
…
"Suck~~"
Taking a deep breath, looking at the soldiers below who were looking at him and offering their absolute loyalty, Mo Cheng couldn't help but feel a feeling rising in his heart.
He stretched out his hand as if he wanted to grasp something, but he grasped nothing.
But Mo Cheng knew that he had just encountered something——
——Something called [Power].
The skills of the two kings, [Ghost King] and [Undying King], also seemed to provide him, the user, with a certain sense of supremacy, a feeling of controlling life and death, and possessing absolute power.
This feeling is really addictive.
"The taste of power..." Sitting on the throne, he closed his eyes and felt the waves of pleasure washing over his nerves. "Oh, it has brought me to a peak."
"but……"
He opened his eyes slightly, and what was revealed was the purest killing, "Killing is more to my liking."
Pure murderous intent strangles and destroys the pleasure in the brain.
Mo Cheng raised his hand and pointed at the assembled enemy troops in front of him, "Let me see if there is any need for you to continue to exist and strengthen."
The Lord of the Undead on the throne gave the first order to his army: "Kill them all!"
As Mo Cheng's order came down, the silent and shocking roar of the undead sounded again.
The Skeleton Warriors charged first, and the first thing they encountered was the Abominable Butcher, a heavy unit. Holding a machete and a chain, the stitched monster, which exuded a plague of decay, rushed towards the phalanx of Skeleton Warriors, trying to break down the fragile skeleton.
At the same time, the Dread Knights behind the Hateful Butcher began to charge. When the Hateful Butchers cleared a path for the Dread Knights to increase their acceleration, the charging Dread Knights would be the biggest nightmare on the battlefield.
Especially under the leadership of the Black Knight, the Dread Knight's charge will be 10% stronger than usual.
But when the Dread Knight wanted to launch a charge, the Skeleton Knight rushed over from the flank first.
They are faster, stronger, and more deadly than the Dread Knights.
Like a hot knife cutting butter, the Skeleton Knights charging from the flank were like a precise scalpel, not only cutting off the prelude to the Dread Knights' charge, but also constantly cutting off a piece of flesh from the Undead Legion.
The Black Knight was horrified to discover that those skeletons, which were supposed to be fragile and would fall apart if they ran a little faster, not only had enough power to cause damage to the Dread Knights, but their speed was 30% faster than that of the Dread Knights as mobile units!
When the speed of cavalry is 30% faster than that of the enemy cavalry, it is not called war or battle, it is called unilateral torture.
"Ha, Halo is indeed a thorough battlefield skill."
If the Dread Knights cannot start charging, then it is a group of high-level infantry. Mo Cheng, who was sitting on the throne, nodded. Putting aside the other arms of the legion, the Skeleton Knights at least showed an extraordinary ability to dominate the battlefield.
Of course, in addition to the Skeleton Knight, Mo Cheng's [The Speedy Knight], which was already cooling down, also played a major role in intercepting the Dread Knight so quickly.
The doubling of speed in a short period of time made it seem as if the Skeleton Knights were stopped and the Fear Knights were unable to unleash their greatest power.
【Bloodsucking Soul】!
【The Speedy Walker】!
With the two
And every time they strike the Hateful Butcher, it will bring it an incurable [Plague].
Yes, the Hateful Butcher, who had the power to release the Plague of Rot, was unable to avoid or offset the [Plague] on the Skeleton Warrior's blade.
At first, I didn't take the Abomination Butcher seriously. After all, heavy units like them were created to attract damage.
But after being hit more and more times, the Abominable Butchers discovered a hard-to-accept fact - they were poisoned by the [Plague].
The power of the plague was slowing down their movements and hurting them deeply. Even the flames that accidentally ignited on the blades of the skeleton warriors would tear and burn the souls of the hateful butchers.
"Bang!"
The huge figure fell to the ground, and then like a chain reaction, more and more hateful butchers fell to the ground due to heavy damage , and were then beheaded by the skeleton warriors and their souls were eaten.
And those lowest-level skeleton warriors who obtained the spoils actually began to evolve on the spot.
