Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 307 Bloody Storm
In addition to the dozen or so top-level necromancers who possessed the abilities of "Blood Bat Transformation" or "Instant Movement of Demon Possession" who could act freely, Qiu Shui Changtian, Ye You and others also agreed to strengthen the protection and try their best to ensure the safety of other necromancers who lacked effective dodge ability. They drew on the experience of the necromancers who had been enemies of us in the defense of the holy land "Karamayi" to prevent the sudden attack of Ibola, and gathered at least a hundred black bone dragons to densely protect themselves, and the defense was impenetrable. As long as the eleven necromancers directly involved in the case could effectively attract the attack of the "Heavenly Punishment" skill of the blood clan "law enforcer" Sanadan, then the most they would face was the threat of Sanadan himself. Even if Sanadan was very fast, or could transform into a bat, facing the dense and thick protective circle built by a hundred black bone dragons, it would be impossible for him to forcefully break through to the necromancers protected in the inner layer too quickly and threaten their lives. Sanadan is alone, unlike the defense of the holy land "Karamay" when I had thousands of Black Bone Dragons to assist Ibola in breaking through the Black Bone Dragon's defense. Moreover, the number of Black Bone Dragons under our command to participate in the battle is also extremely large. Even if any undead wizard encounters a direct attack from Sanadan, we can mobilize enough Black Bone Dragons to rush to the rescue in time and reduce the risk of them being killed by breaking through the defense circle.
It is fair for me to adopt such tactics to deal with the "War Against Heaven". No longer emphasizing that whoever gets more benefits from the blood royal family should do more work, trying to take advantage of me. It is basically equal to apportioning according to the number of people. Every undead wizard directly involved in the case pays about the same, or puts in more work, or hires more unrelated undead wizards to help in the war, the purpose is to increase our chances of winning as much as possible. I certainly don't want to suffer losses, and Qiu Shui Changtian and others can't afford such a price. My tyrannical strength is also indispensable for them to win the "War Against Heaven". They are tough and determined not to give in, and they are not afraid of the threat of both sides being destroyed. They have no choice but to compromise. This is the law of the strong being respected. Only those with strength have the right to speak , and I have also assumed the corresponding responsibilities. What needs to be paid is no less than that of other undead wizards directly involved in the case. It can't be regarded as "bullying others" to threaten them. All they ask for is fairness.
The ten-day appointment is approaching, and the participating black bone dragon army has been deployed and assembled near the designated battlefield area on time. We even took time out to conduct a combat exercise, in which all the undead wizards who were preparing to participate in the war participated. The focus of the exercise was on the ability to cooperate and protect each other in the melee, so as to launch attacks on Sanadan as effectively as possible and cause damage, while reducing the loss of our personnel and preventing the participating undead wizards from being killed too early or too many by Sanadan. This is a critical war that is directly related to our vital interests. Once it fails, the consequences will be disastrous, and personal strength will inevitably be damaged. Some players may even lose the advantage or qualification to compete for the tenth-level undead holy wizard profession. No one dares to take it lightly, and must strive to win the final victory at the lowest cost.
Half an hour before midnight on the tenth day, the eleven necromancers directly involved in the case gathered together, waiting for the arrival of the blood clan "law enforcer" Sanadan. We only brought a hundred or so black bone dragon guards with us, mainly to resist the possible direct attack of Sanadan himself. Its "heavenly punishment" skill is the biggest threat to us, and it is impossible to resist it head-on. Using the "blood bat transformation" or "instant teleportation" ability to dodge and escape is our best choice. The army of 100,000 black bone dragons is scattered around, and has surrounded this place. There is enough space for us to dodge and maneuver, and we can also launch a siege on Sanadan in time. Even if we can't hurt it directly, at least we have to keep pressure on it at all times, constantly consuming its mental and physical strength. Even if it can reach the level of a holy beast, it is just alone. How many black bone dragons can it kill by its own strength?
At midnight, through the "Gate of Void", the Blood Clan's "law enforcer" Sanadan appeared in front of us as promised, glanced at the eleven of us scattered nearby, and nodded, "Well, very good, eleven necromancers, not one missing, all gathered here, how about it, do you want to accept my conditions and give up the benefits obtained from the Blood Clan royal family to ensure your personal safety and avoid the just judgment of the "heavenly punishment" from us "law enforcers"? "
"I'm sorry, respected vampire 'law enforcer' Sanadan, forcing us to sacrifice the interests gained from the vampire royal family is too unfair to us, we cannot accept it." The eleven undead wizards directly involved in the case spoke out together and flatly refused.
Sanadan's expression immediately darkened. "As expected, when you showed up and saw so many black bone dragons gathered around, I knew you wouldn't surrender easily. It seems you are determined to challenge the authority of our 'law enforcers'. Well, you should prepare to accept the judgment of justice and let the 'heavenly punishment' wash away the numerous sins you have committed."
"Respected Blood Clan 'law enforcer', please don't get angry first, we still have something to talk about." I quickly let out a loud roar, which made Sanadan, who was about to take action, pause and look at me. "I don't know what 'Heavenly Punishment' skill you have. As a Blood Clan 'law enforcer', what abilities do you have?" Although the war was about to start, I still wanted to know what abilities Sanadan had, which would be helpful to us. I had been prepared that he might not give us any time to react and might turn hostile on the spot and prepare to take action. With the idea of giving it a try, I roared like this. Qiu Shui Chang Tian and the others must have understood this. Probably no one wanted to be the "first bird" before the war was about to start, attracting extra attention from Sanadan and bringing greater risks to themselves, so they were unwilling to ask. I didn't want to be in the spotlight , but I didn't want to lose this "war against heaven" even more. Plus, I was quite confident in my ability to save my life and escape. Besides, Qiu Shui Chang Tian and the others would not sit idly by and watch me, the absolute main force, get into danger, and watch me withdraw from the battle too early. They would definitely find ways to rescue me as much as possible. So I had to step forward and be a hero.
Sanadan was stunned at first, then his expression became extremely angry. He glared at me fiercely, but seemed quite helpless. It seems that due to the rules, the "law enforcer" must answer the questions we asked honestly and cannot ignore them and evade them. "Well, the skill of 'heavenly punishment' I have is called 'bloody wind and rain'. The wind is like a knife and the rain is like sharp arrows. It can cover an area of about ten square meters and has a strong attack power. My profession is a combat mage. I have the ability of close combat and can cast magic for long-range attacks. I am swift and can transform into two forms: bat and batman. The batman form is mainly used for combat, and the bat form is mainly used for pursuit and evasion. Next, let you undead wizards who intend to 'go against the heaven' see my true ability as a blood clan 'law enforcer'. Get ready to accept the just judgment of 'heavenly punishment'!"
Although he had to reveal some of his abilities to us, Sanadan was obviously unwilling to reveal them all. His introduction was too concise, which was really beyond my expectation. I was waiting to hear more detailed abilities, but it was already over. Moreover, after the brief explanation, he immediately issued a battle declaration and made a move to activate his skills. A blood-colored vortex immediately appeared in the sky, which should represent the "Heavenly Punishment" skill. It was rapidly condensing and forming. Blood clouds rolled inside, bloody winds brewed, and bloody rain fell. It might fall on our heads in the next moment. Once Sanadan finished casting the spell and freed his hands, he might rush over to attack us directly. The distance now was too close. With its swift speed, we did not set up enough tight defenses. In addition, the activation of the "Heavenly Punishment" skill was really too dangerous. Including me, none of us had time to find out about Sanadan's background and we hurriedly retreated to the rear, each of us preparing to dodge the attack. At the same time we dispatched the Black Bone Dragon's subordinates on the periphery to prepare to besiege Sanadan. We had to escape and could not let it attack us calmly, which would further increase our danger.
The first to be launched was the "Heavenly Punishment" skill of the "Law Enforcer". "Blood and Rain" is a range attack skill, released from the bloody vortex in the sky, blowing down from a distance of hundreds of meters, covering an area of about ten square meters. Anyone affected will be hurt. A few faint blood-colored wind patterns swept across, and a bunch of fine blood-colored raindrops shot down on the head. As long as you are in the attack area, it is extremely difficult to escape. Even if you transform into a tiny bat, you may be able to avoid the wounds of the wind patterns sweeping everywhere, but you still can't escape the disaster of the raindrops piercing your body. Moreover, it is a continuous skill. Although each "bloody rain" attack can only last for a short time, it can be released continuously. At least compared with the "Heavenly Punishment" skill "Flying Stones from the Sky" of the Corpse Witch Clan "Law Enforcer" Aristotle, the attack frequency is much higher, and the power is even greater, which is a great threat to us. If you only rely on the ability of "Blood Bat Transformation" to dodge, if you react a little slower or make mistakes in judgment, you can't effectively avoid damage. In comparison, the ability of "Demon Possession Instant Movement" is more suitable for dodging attacks. In a moment, you can escape the attack coverage of "Blood Rain" in time. However, doing so will consume more physical strength and it will be difficult to fight for too long. We must rely on mutual protection between us and find ways to attract the attack of "Blood Rain" in time to prevent Sanadan from only focusing on one person and killing him.
After the battle, the "Heavenly Punishment" skill "Blood and Rain" was launched, and Sanadan himself also launched an attack. He did not open the bat wings behind him to fly into the air, but ran on the ground and quickly approached us who were retreating. In coordination with the "Blood and Rain" attack, he used the deer method similar to the blood witch's "Blood Shadow Dark Killing Bullet" to attack from a distance. The magic is released faster and more powerful. It is a group magic, and it is a string of magic at a time. If a black bone dragon is hit, and a "Blood Shadow Dark Killing Bullet" is not avoided, it seems that there is an additional damage bonus effect. Originally, it was only seriously injured, but with the last "Blood Shadow Dark Killing Bullet" hitting, it will be killed in one hit. Moreover, Sanadan's magic attack speed is very fast and the accuracy is quite high. It seems to have a certain automatic tracking ability. Unless the target black bone dragon is prepared and can dodge in time, once the "Blood Shadow Dark Killing Bullet" is approaching, it is basically too late to dodge and it is difficult to escape death. Several black bone dragons have blocked Sanadan's attack route to cover our retreat, and died tragically under its magic attack. Of course, they all exist as consumables, and being loyal to us is their destiny. However, it also proves that Sanadan's powerful attack power is still a great threat to us if it is allowed to play. We must not give it too many opportunities to attack us directly. We must strengthen coordinated operations and mobilize the black bone dragons to launch a siege on it so that it has no time to care about us too much. Fortunately, although Sanadan's actions are swift, they are not as abnormal as Ibola's "instant movement". There are still traces to follow, which makes it convenient for us to make judgments and determine its main attack targets. We can also mobilize enough black bone dragons to participate in the siege in time. It is not so easy to attack us smoothly. We will be entangled for a while, which gives us time to move and dodge.
The black bone dragons deployed around the area came out one after another and began to surround the battle circle. Except for the undead wizards who were being hunted by "Blood Rain" and Sanadan, the other undead wizards commanded some of their black bone dragons to participate in the first wave of offensives, so that everyone's command tasks would be relatively smaller and the mobilization could be more flexible. At the same time, they did not rush forward in a swarm. According to their respective divisions of labor, they commanded their black bone dragons to steadily press forward from all directions. They also specially arranged personnel to be responsible for mobile support, plugging the gaps, and not leaving Sanadan with an opportunity to easily break through. The subsequent defense lines are also being built layer by layer. Even if Sanadan breaks through the siege in front, there will still be a large group of black bone dragons waiting for it. We will give full play to our absolute advantage in numbers and try to set obstacles for Sanadan. No matter where it breaks through, it will be attacked and cannot easily approach our undead wizards.
Probably because I stood out, Sanadan held a grudge against me, and the first person attacked by "Blood Rain" was me. Fortunately, I was well prepared, and I had already mastered the ability to dodge attacks using "Blood Bat Transformation". It was only at the beginning that I was stabbed by the blood rain several times because I was not used to this attack method for the time being. It was really like a sharp arrow piercing my body, with a strong attack power. Fortunately, Qiu Shui Changtian and other undead wizards who were not attacked promptly commanded the black bone dragons to launch a counterattack, or tried to provide cover, and restrained Sanadan's coordinated attack, and failed to cooperate with "Blood Rain" to attack me with all my strength. Although I was forced to be a little flustered, I was still able to hold on, relying on the "Sacrifice" and "Unparalleled Guardian" magic as protection, even if I was affected by the blood rain, I would not suffer too serious damage. After several rounds of attacks, as I gradually got used to the attacking methods of "Blood and Rain", it became easier to dodge, reducing the chance of being affected by the blood rain. At the same time, I commanded the black bone dragons who were guarding me to block above me and use their bodies to cover me and take the damage of "Blood and Rain" on my behalf. The attack power displayed was indeed very strong. After a "Blood and Rain", even if the black bone dragons responsible for resisting were not killed in one blow, they were at least dying and lost their combat effectiveness. Under continuous attacks, they continued to suffer losses. Even so, it could only buy me a little breathing time, and I only had time to dodge the next "Blood and Rain" attack, so as not to be unable to react and suffer more damage. I simply did not have enough strength or time to get rid of the continuous offensive of "Blood and Rain", and was forced to flee far away. Other companions who were not the main targets were also busy, either dispatching the black bone dragon's men to besiege Sanadan, or hanging around the "bloody rain" to attract it to divert its target and attack itself instead, trying their best to provide me with cover and help me get out of the crisis so that I would not be attacked all the time. At this time, we must unite as one, fully cooperate and fight together, and not allow any selfish thoughts to remain, otherwise it will not only unnecessarily reduce our combat effectiveness, but if we all watch the death without helping, we will only end up dying together, and in the end, everyone will die together.
There was only one person in Sanadan, and Bloody Rain could only attack one target at a time. This was its biggest weakness. Because of the interference and restraint of more and more black bone dragons, it could not smoothly pursue me. I was far enough away from it as I was trying to escape. In addition, the appearance of other undead wizards directly involved in the case finally diverted the attack target of Bloody Rain, and it took care of other undead wizards instead, allowing me to breathe a sigh of relief. After quickly urging the Touch of Death to replenish my mental power, I immediately rushed to the battlefield again and continued to take on the task of luring the enemy. This is also a major advantage of mine. Although most other undead wizards have the magic of the Hand of Darkness and can also replenish the reduced mental power, they need to consume physical strength, which is equally important in battle and must reduce consumption. It is not as convenient as my Touch of Death, which is also a major reason why they have to compromise with me in exchange for me to take on more responsibilities.
Although the "bloody storm" was incredibly powerful and difficult to resist, Sanadan's own situation was not as good as that. A hero could not stand up to the crowd. As more and more black bone dragons surrounded him from all directions, his long-range magic attacks were invincible. He was soon forced to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Sanadan's melee combat ability was equally strong. He used his agility to force space for movement among the black bone dragons, dodge the black bone dragons' attacks in time, and waved his claws to launch a counterattack. The pair of blood claws was extremely sharp. As long as he caught the black bone dragon, the originally solid skeleton would be like tofu, turning into debris one after another. Even if he used a skill attack, the blood light of the claws flashed, deeply inserted into the black bone dragon's body, and a strong force emerged, which would tear the black bone dragon apart alive, making it seem like a piece of cake, without spending too much effort. Its attack power was equally strong. Even when facing the siege of so many black bone dragons, it still performed with ease and seldom suffered effective damage. It was so slippery that it was quickly broken out and approached the undead wizard who participated in the battle.
We had already overestimated the strength of Sanadan, and did not expect to be able to effectively suppress it at the beginning of the battle. Since it was willing to kill the black bone dragon, we were more than happy to let it kill as much as it wanted. We did not rush to fight it, but focused on adjusting the layout of the black bone dragon army, and building the layers of defense as thick as possible, so that it would face the attack of the black bone dragon every time it moved forward, or even every moment, and had to consume a little energy to see how many black bone dragons it could kill. Therefore, although Sanadan's breakthrough was quite rapid, it encountered more and more black bone dragons, and the effect was not obvious. The speed of forced breakthrough was not too fast, and it was unable to get rid of it. Perhaps it was also aware that the black bone dragons were endless, Sanadan stopped fighting hard, and a red light flashed, turning into a bat, trying to take advantage of the gaps in the defense between the black bone dragons and escape.
In bat form, it seems that it also has little attack power and cannot cause substantial damage to the besieged black bone dragons. However, it is extremely agile, which should be better than the slender bats incarnated by the vampire prince. It moves freely among the black bone dragons like a fish swimming in the sea. As long as there is a gap for accommodation, it can seize the opportunity to pass through in time, and it is difficult to hinder the actions of Sanadan. The attack of the black bone dragon is also not flexible enough. It is not effective against a small target. The bats incarnated by Sanadan always escape in time, making it difficult to effectively hurt it. It is impossible to use the absolute advantage in numbers to besiege it. Sanadan took the initiative and gradually approached the participating undead wizards. We don't have a good way to deal with this. The black bone dragon is so big that unless it can be stationary and arranged one by one, there will always be gaps in such a melee siege that can be used by the small bats incarnated by Sanadan. I ordered my black bone dragons to do their best to obstruct it, but it didn't have much effect. I could only delay its movements a little, but couldn't stop it effectively. I let it move freely among the black bone dragons and easily broke through our encirclement.
Fortunately, we have the four vampire fang princes as a lesson. During the defense of the holy land "Karamay", we also had a fierce battle with Sabrotu and his group. We know their ability to move freely among the black bone dragons. Although Sanadan is more agile, it is not too surprising. We were not panicked in the face of Sanadan's breakthrough. In addition to continuing to strengthen the blockade of the black bone dragon army and delaying its actions as much as possible, we also strengthened the defense of those undead wizards who did not have the ability of "blood bat transformation" and "instant teleportation" and could only stay in place. We paid special attention to the situation of the undead wizards who were assigned to rescue by ourselves, and commanded the black bone dragons stationed nearby to strengthen their vigilance and be ready to provide support at any time. Anyway, the bat form should not have direct attack power. The hundreds of black bone dragons responsible for dense defense around the body surrounded the inner layer of the undead wizards. Even if Sanadan is in bat form, it is difficult to rush in. He can only transform into a bat man to attack. In that case, it also gives us the opportunity to attack and mobilize manpower for timely support. It is not so easy to hurt the undead wizards who are protected in the inner layer. Moreover, our top undead wizards who are responsible for luring the enemy will not sit idly by and do nothing. They will not hesitate to risk being attacked by Sanadan and constantly move forward to attract its attack and better protect those companions who lack the ability to protect themselves. In order to successfully kill the blood clan "law enforcer" Sanadan and win this "war against heaven", each of our participating undead wizards must perform their duties, work together, cover their companions, and accept their protection, so that they can have a chance to win.
After chasing for a while, under the interference of the black bone dragon's subordinates, Sanadan was unable to effectively cooperate with "Blood Rain", and posed too much threat to our dozen top necromancers with the ability of "Blood Bat Transformation" or "Teleportation". So it let "Blood Rain" attack us, and it flew to high altitude, avoiding the siege of a large group of black bone dragons. It was probably through the black bone dragons that participated in the direct attack that it sensed the breath of their master, determined the direction, and flew in the direction where they were. It really wanted to capture the thief first, and directly used our necromancers to try to break the deadlock, disintegrate the resistance of the black bone dragons, and reduce the resistance. The sky was too vast, and it was extremely difficult to stop a swift little bat. We did not rush after it, as that would have stretched our defenses and caused more chaos and made it easier for it to take advantage of us. Anyway, our duty was to kill these "undead wizards" like us who "acted against the will of heaven". They would eventually come down to attack us, so we further strengthened the defense of the near-ground area in preparation for its offensive.
