Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 306: Wu Ma's New Ability
It concerns their respective vital interests, especially whether or not they can win the "War Against Heaven". As long as they are killed once, their mental strength limit will be reduced by 5%. Out of selfish motives, no one is willing to give in easily. They all try their best to strive for a result that is more favorable to themselves. The discussion is extremely intense, but it is deadlocked. It is difficult to reach a consensus and agree on a suitable tactic to deal with the blood clan's "law enforcer" Sanatan. I don't have enough influence to force other necromancers to agree with me. Besides, a big tree attracts the wind. With me, the "number one necromancer in the world", present, the second group including Qiu Shui Changtian, Tian Xing, Ye You and others who are slightly weaker than me are always thinking of taking advantage of me, targeting me everywhere, either openly or secretly. I don't want to waste any more words on this meaningless dispute with them. I use the excuse that the evolution of my undead has reached a critical stage and I must stay by its side and try my best to keep enough mental power for absorption. I cannot leave the "Undead Space" for too long. I will say goodbye and leave immediately. After they have discussed a preliminary result, they will contact me through the "Crown of the Witch King" or the "Robe of the Blood King" for further consultation. Anyway, facing the threat of the blood clan's "law enforcer" Sanadan, if they want to launch a "war against heaven", they will definitely need the participation of a powerful fighter like me. It is impossible for them to leave me alone out of "kindness" or maliciousness. Now is the time for preparation before the ten-day appointment, and it is not so urgent, so they are still in the mood to sit here and argue. Once the time comes, it will be urgent, and they will not be able to have too many ideas. They will definitely be able to compromise with each other quickly and reach a consensus. I don't want to take advantage of them, but they can't expect to let me suffer.
My reasons were sufficient - the high-level undead subordinates that could evolve were all treasures. Any undead wizard would value them very much, and Qiu Shui Chang Tian and the others could not stop me from leaving. In the end, we only reached a preliminary consensus on some issues, and agreed to use a certain area of the Lost Continent as the gathering place for the ten-day appointment of the blood clan "law enforcers", where we would launch a "war against heaven" and fight to the death with Satan. That area was located in the middle of the sphere of influence of the undead wizards involved in the case, so it was convenient for everyone to mobilize their subordinates to rush there. No matter what tactics were finally decided, the undead wizards who planned to participate in the war would start to gather their forces and make preparations in advance.
I left Qiu Shui Chang Tian and the Empire Era to continue arguing for their own interests. I hurried back to the "Dead Soul Space" to continue to ensure the supply of spiritual power that Wu Ma needs to absorb and ensure its smooth evolution. This is my top priority at the moment. Of course, the undead subordinates still have to seize the time to mobilize. More than 6,000 black bone dragons have been dispatched to gather and hide near the scheduled battle area to make full preparations for the war. After all, winning this "heaven-defying war" is self-evident to me. In addition to preserving the vested interests, I can continue to transfer the two quotas that grant the "blood change" ability. At that time, without the threat of the blood clan "law enforcer", the value should definitely be higher. Moreover, the reward of the basic spiritual power attribute increased after killing the "law enforcer" is also something I look forward to. After all, it is a relatively advanced blood clan "law enforcer". Even if it is divided equally among eleven undead wizards, it should not be too shabby. I hope to further enhance the power of my "undead summoning" magic and let my strength reach a new level.
One day later, I felt that Wu Ma was about to complete his evolution, so I stopped trying to subdue the black bone dragon, left "Dragon Bone Mountain", and rushed to the area where it was hiding. Evolving into a high-level destruction knight, he would encounter the test of "Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation". I also arranged some black bone dragons to be scattered around, acting as a death squad, ready to rush forward to rescue Wu Ma at any time if he could not resist the bombardment of "Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation", slightly dispersing some of the pressure on Wu Ma. He has grown to this point, and I will never allow him to make any mistakes.
I didn't have to wait too long. Wu Ma finally emerged from his cocoon. His mount was still Scorpio. There were no obvious changes in the appearance, body shape, weapons, etc. of either the rider or the mount. However, the color of their bodies was no longer pure purple-red. Instead, they kept changing between purple-red and khaki. There was no pattern at all. It changed in an instant, which seemed quite strange. He still held his axe horizontally and stared at the sky, showing his courage to fight against the sky. At the same time as he completed his evolution, the sky changed color and calamity clouds emerged, showing the precursor of the "Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation". Fortunately, all of this had been witnessed when Ibola completed his evolution and endured the test of the "Heavenly Tribulation". It was nothing new. However, he had not yet restored his spiritual connection with Wu Ma. He didn't know what the specific attribute state would be after it evolved into a high-level Destruction Knight. After all, his innate qualifications and experience were not as good as Ibola. Facing the "Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation" that only one out of ten could survive and even Ibola had great difficulty dealing with, the chance of passing it smoothly should be smaller, and it might be even more dangerous. However, it has been my disciple for a long time and has received my full support in its growth process. Its foundation is extremely solid, and its reserves of various attribute energies required for evolution are much better than those of Ibola. It should have better abilities, which may help it successfully survive the test of the "Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation" and become a true high-level Earth Destruction Knight.
The "Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation" finally arrived. Without the swiftness of Ibola, Wu Ma could not dodge the thunder and lightning by moving quickly. Wu Ma's greatest reliance was still its strength and strong defensive ability, and it almost confronted the "Thunder Tribulation" head-on. Even if lightning struck him, the paralysis effect could not delay Wu Ma's movement, and the thunder that exploded around him could not shake his upright body. He waved his long-handled blood-colored battle axe with both hands, and kept slashing down, as if he could divert the lightning and repel the thunder. Although this was only the performance of the first few layers of thunder tribulation with reduced power, it showed that Wu Ma's ability had been further enhanced, showing a tyrannical alternative fighting style that was not inferior to that of the high-level destruction knight Ibola of the wind. Thinking about the ability of "Intermediate Earth Escape" and the immortal ability of "Rebirth after Disaster" that could be used, I felt relieved and no longer so nervous. I paid close attention to Wu Ma's performance and status so that I could provide timely support when it needed it.
As time went by, the power of the "Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation" became stronger and stronger, and the body alone could no longer withstand it. Wu Ma wisely used the ability that should have been promoted to "Intermediate Earth Escape" and began to dive underground to weaken the attack of lightning and thunder. When it dived into the soil, its body turned into earthy yellow, and when it rushed out of the ground, it turned into purple-red. The speed of entering and exiting was obviously much faster than the previous "Primary Earth Escape", and the speed of movement underground was also faster. In a short time, it was able to rush out a distance of more than ten meters, effectively avoiding the bombardment of lightning beams and thunder. However, the power of the "Nine-fold Thunderbolt" was still too great. Even after using all his strength, Wu Ma still inevitably suffered a lot of damage. His body was damaged in many places, and his condition gradually declined. He was no longer as brave as he was at the beginning. Compared with Ibola who had been growing up independently, Wu Ma, who grew up under my protection, was still inferior in actual combat experience. Unlike Ibola, he did not have the additional ability of "instant movement when possessed by a demon" to assist him. After all, he could not hold on longer. After enduring the seventh thunderbolt, he could no longer hold on.
Although I provided Wu Ma with enough immortal ghost phoenixes for it to kill and devour, and accumulated enough immortal power, it was much stronger than the situation of Yibola who just barely met the standard. However, there was no relevant experience to refer to, and Yibola only knew a little bit. I didn't know what would happen after the evolution, whether it would have an extra ability of "rebirth after the catastrophe", or whether it would derive other additional functions, and how much help it could provide to Wu Ma. I was not sure about these. Therefore, I didn't dare to take risks. In order to ensure that Wu Ma could successfully survive the test of the "Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation" and avoid any accidents, I quickly dispatched the black bone dragons guarding the surroundings to rush into the "Thunder Tribulation Area", hoping that Wu Ma could use them effectively like Yibola to disperse the pressure he was under.
Wu Ma, who had learned relevant experience from Ebola, did not disappoint me. Although he did not move as swiftly and strangely as Ebola after being possessed by the demon spirit, his ability of "intermediate earth escape" could also help him sneak under the bodies of the black bone dragons flying close to the ground under my forced command, effectively reducing and weakening the damage caused by lightning and thunder, so that he could hold on for a longer time. However, with the arrival of the more powerful ninth-level thunder tribulation, Wu Ma's body, which had been severely damaged, could not hold on. It was blown into ashes in the first few rounds of bombardment. Fortunately, it really had the immortal ability of "rebirth after the tribulation". It transformed and condensed its body in an instant and recovered to a well-preserved Destruction Knight. What surprised me was that Wu Ma's strength did not seem to have decreased too much. Although it was not as good as before the death in battle, it was still much stronger than the state of the ninth-level upper-level intermediate Destruction Knight. The power of the ninth thunder tribulation is extremely powerful, and Wu Ma was blown to pieces. The injuries he suffered can be said to be extremely severe, so his level should be reduced by two levels. I remember that the last time Ibola was destroyed in the "ninth thunder tribulation", his level was reduced by two levels. Wu Ma experienced such severe injuries, but it seems to have only been reduced by one level. I really can't understand it. Is this also a new special ability it has added?
No matter why Wu Ma had such a change, the situation was still quite favorable for it. It only dropped one level and maintained a relatively high strength, so it could naturally resist the ninth thunder tribulation more effectively. Facing the increasingly violent thunder and lightning bombardment, Wu Ma finally had the strength to resist, so as not to be injured too much and destroyed quickly. However, such a change also made me feel more uncertain. It was difficult to accurately judge what functions Wu Ma's ability of "rebirth after the catastrophe" had, and whether he could experience "rebirth after the catastrophe" again. Not daring to take risks, I had to force my black bone dragon to rush into the "thunder tribulation area" with all its strength, and provide more effective protection for Wu Ma. Even if it weakened the power of lightning and thunder a little bit, and shared a little damage for Wu Ma, it could be regarded as a contribution to Wu Ma's survival of the "nine thunder tribulation", which could increase his chances of winning.
Under my full protection at all costs, Wu Ma seemed to adapt to the new ability better, and made many wonderful performances, effectively avoiding some injuries, and finally managed to survive the ninth level of thunder tribulation despite his increasingly serious injuries. In an instant, the wind disappeared, the lightning disappeared, and the violent world returned to peace. Wu Ma finally successfully survived the "ninth level of thunder tribulation" and officially evolved into a high-level knight of destruction.
After restoring the spiritual connection with Wu Ma, I first expressed my condolences and encouragement to Wu Ma for successfully completing the evolution, so as to take the opportunity to deepen the relationship with it and make it work for me more attentively. I focused on asking about its injuries. Although serious, it was still within the normal range that it could bear. It was not serious and did not hurt the essence of its soul. It only needed a few days of rest and a lot of supplements to recover. If we hurry up, we should be able to catch up with the "heaven-defying war" with the blood clan "law enforcer" Sanadan in a few days. We can join forces with Ibola to fight, and perhaps we can play a significant role. Then, of course, he checked Wu Ma's current attribute status in detail. Like Ibola, its level was also upgraded to the intermediate level of level ten, and its title became Scorpio Advanced Destruction Knight, with darkness and earth attributes. The original "primary earth escape" ability was upgraded to "intermediate earth escape" ability, with stronger functions. Before escaping underground, the body no longer needed to emit a yellowish-brown light, but was directly transformed into an ochre body color. Everything was done in a moment, and the conversion speed was faster, with almost no delay in action. Moreover, the speed of movement underground was also much faster, which played a huge role in Wu Ma's successful survival of the "Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation".
Another special ability is "rebirth after calamity". In the previous "Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation", Wu Ma was blown to pieces but it seemed to have only been reduced by one level. However, seeing that it tried its best to dodge the bombardment, it seemed that it could only experience one "rebirth after calamity". I have always been puzzled. I don't know what effect the accumulation of more "immortal ability" than when Ibola evolved has brought to Wu Ma. After a careful inspection, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. The result was not bad. It did not waste so many immortal ghost phoenixes killed and devoured by it. Wu Ma obtained the ability of "rebirth after calamity" twice, which means that it can die once more than Ibola, but it has an additional choice - the two "rebirth after calamity" abilities can be combined and released together. If it encounters too serious damage when being killed and there is a danger of reducing two levels, Wu Ma can choose to give up the second "rebirth after calamity" ability, release its effect at the same time, and only reduce one level instead. This can more effectively maintain Wu Ma's combat effectiveness, adapt to more and more complex battle situations, and be more conducive to its role. Just like when encountering the bombardment of "thunder tribulation", it is obviously more useful to be one level higher than to be resurrected once by reducing to the state of lower level nine. Therefore, Wu Ma wisely chose "two in one", gave up the second chance of "rebirth after tribulation", and insisted on going through the "nine-level thunder tribulation" in the state of lower level ten, proving with actual combat that this newly added ability would be more suitable in the battle against strong enemies.
In addition to being more solid and having greater strength, Wu Ma's attack skills have not changed much. They are still "Unstoppable" and "Blood Fighting in All Directions". With the increase of level and strength, they are naturally more lethal, and can be better combined with the "Intermediate Earth Escape" ability. After performing skill attacks, he can quickly escape underground to avoid the enemy's counterattack, or quickly launch skill attacks while jumping out of the ground to catch the enemy off guard, which is more aggressive. In addition, Wu Ma has a new ability - "Undead Disintegration Method". I don't know if it's because he was lucky enough to be given this ability by chance, or because he is an advanced Destruction Knight with earth attribute, and has accumulated more earth attribute energy to the point of overflowing, which is an extra reward. The specific function is similar to that of Tanbiqi. Once used, all attributes are enhanced, especially strength and defense capabilities, which are almost doubled, and the combat effectiveness is stronger. However, it can only be used in a normal state. Once the "Rebirth after the Tribulation" ability is used to reduce the level, it can no longer be used. Moreover, if the "Undead Soul Disintegration Method" is used for too long, it consumes too much soul energy, which will directly affect the strength after the "Rebirth after the Tribulation", and it is easy to be greatly weakened. It can only ensure immortality, but it is difficult to have a strong combat power, and it will be more vulnerable to injury. This is also the main reason why Wu Ma did not dare to use the "Undead Soul Disintegration Method" rashly during the "Nine-Layer Thunder Tribulation" - it can almost be said that you can't have your cake and eat it too. Weighing the pros and cons, it is more stable to ensure the use of the "Rebirth after the Tribulation" ability.
I am quite satisfied with Wu Ma's situation. I finally didn't waste so much soul energy of various attributes. In terms of its own ability, it is still better than Ibola. If it weren't for the "demon spirit possession", Ibola's combat power would definitely not be as good as Wu Ma. I believe that Wu Ma, who has evolved into a high-level knight of destruction, will provide me with greater help in future battles and become one of my main combat forces again.
As the ten-day appointment with the blood clan "law enforcer" Sanadan approached, the undead wizards involved in the case finally couldn't help it and began to make concessions and seek compromises to reach a consensus as soon as possible and determine the tactics to challenge Sanadan. If you want to get, keep your vested interests, and share the rewards of the increased basic mental attributes after becoming a "god-defying person", you must pay accordingly. It is unrealistic to expect to get something for nothing. Everyone agrees on this point. After repeated negotiations, we finally reached a consensus - other undead wizards invested more troops, and I took on more obligations to achieve a balance, and no one had to seek additional compensation.
To deal with the powerful blood clan "law enforcers" who have the "heavenly punishment" skill to help them in the battle, the human wave tactic is the most suitable and most reliable way to win. A large number of ants can kill an elephant. As long as there are enough ants, there is no need to worry about not being able to kill it. The main combat force is naturally the black bone dragon. I dispatched 6,000 of them to participate in the battle, and the other ten undead wizards involved in the case invested at least 8,000 black bone dragons. If you want to further ensure your own safety, the more the better. You can dispatch more black bone dragons to participate in the battle. Including Qiu Shui Changtian, their direct black bone dragon subordinates must be less than 5,000. The Empire Era, the Infernal Walker, and the Dragon Horse Spirit are even less. It is good to be able to gather 3,000. The remaining black bone dragons will be filled by other unrelated undead wizards they hire to participate in the battle. Anyway, as long as you advance to the ninth level of the Undead Holy Mage profession, you can subdue the Black Bone Dragon. Those Undead wizard players whose strength is not top-level have no hope of subduing the tenth level of the Undead, so they have to invest more time and energy in the Black Bone Dragon. Gathering thousands of Black Bone Dragons is just a matter of finding a few more players to participate in the battle. It can be done easily. The relevant expenses are borne by each person. We only check the quantity and do not care about the price paid by each person. As for the danger of participating in the battle, there is a possibility of being killed by the "law enforcer" and losing 5% of the mental power limit. For most Undead wizards who have no hope of making a name for themselves and advancing to the tenth level profession to participate in the final battle of light and darkness, it is not a big loss. As long as they are given a certain amount of compensation, it is still completely bearable. In addition, those undead wizards who possessed the abilities of "blood transformation" and "blood bat transformation" and benefited indirectly had to participate in this "war against the heaven" unconditionally, including Xin Bi Tian Gao, Night Bonfire and others, and gathered about 10,000 black bone dragons. In this way, a total of 100,000 black bone dragon troops were assembled, ready to fight a decisive battle with Sanadan.
Just 100,000 upper-level ninth-level black bone dragons alone can certainly be killed even by holy beasts. Unfortunately, the "law enforcers" are special types of NPCs. Sanadan's own strength may not be as strong as holy beasts. In terms of attack and defense, it is not necessarily that strong, but it has more mental power and can support longer battles. It also has the "Heavenly Punishment" skill to help in the battle, with additional killing effects. Its combat power is not what ordinary holy beasts can achieve. More importantly, the 100,000 black bone dragons are controlled and commanded by us undead wizards. Once we are killed, they will become a mess. Even if there are thousands of them, it is difficult for them to play a big role and it is impossible for them to pose much threat to the "law enforcers". The eleven necromancers directly involved in the case are the primary targets of Sanadan's attack. Their auras have long been locked. Unless they never enter the "dead space", they have nowhere to hide. They will be discovered and hunted wherever they flee. As long as other necromancers directly attack the "law enforcers", they will be identified as accomplices. They will also violate the law of the dead and accept the justice of "heavenly punishment". Their auras will be sensed and locked by the "law enforcers" through the undead subordinates who attack them, and they will become the targets of attack and hunting. Although Sanadan is known for his speed and may have a swift skill that is not inferior to Ibola, he poses a great threat to us necromancers. No one is sure that they can escape Sanadan's assassination. With the painful experience and lessons learned from the defense of the holy land "Karamayi", the necromancers who participated in the battle can't help but be nervous and try their best to think about how to save their lives more effectively.
Under such circumstances, our most powerful top-level necromancers have a heavier responsibility. They must dodge the attacks of the blood clan "law enforcers" while trying their best to attract the attention of Sanadan to effectively reduce the risk of other necromancers being attacked. The eleven players directly involved in the case are basically the most powerful necromancers. They not only have the "blood bat transformation", but can also summon demon spirits to possess their bodies and perform "instant teleportation". They have the strongest ability to save their lives and escape. In addition, there are several other top-level necromancers who can also perform "instant teleportation" so that they will not be easily . Using us as bait to attract Sanadan's attacks, we try our best to protect the safety of other necromancers participating in the battle, so that they can command their black bone dragons to attack Sanadan with all their strength, and try to play the role of each participating black bone dragon to prevent them from withdrawing from the battle prematurely due to the death of their master. The objects that need to be protected have been clearly identified to individuals, in order to enhance their courage and confidence in participating in the war. Qiu Shui Chang Tian and the others will focus on protecting the mercenaries they have recruited. As I have paid less than the price of two thousand black bone dragons, I have to participate in the protection of several players hired by other undead wizards to participate in the war, so that our attack will be more efficient, so as not to be confused by the pursuit of Sanadan, giving it more opportunities to take advantage of and causing us greater losses. At the same time, I also promised to dispatch some level 10 undead to participate in the war. Other undead wizards lack capable subordinates like my Ebola and Guben who can deal with powerful opponents, and are reluctant to sacrifice too many hard-won level 10 undead. They all know Ebola's ability and have to compromise with me. In this way, the threat to Sanadan can be effectively strengthened in the later battles, and the battle can be ended earlier, further reducing the danger of other undead wizards participating in the war - this is also directly linked to their interests. If one more helper they hired dies, they will need to pay more hiring fees.
