Chapter 624: 434
Although the intelligence of the undead in the camp wasn’t very high, they still possessed the instinctive fear common to sentient beings. The moment the flamethrowers were extinguished and they saw the devastated land, their souls trembled with fear.
However, when they saw Dong Tianyu eliminate the vampires and then store the flamethrowers in the Storage Space, the fear that had arisen in their hearts instantly dissipated. With their simple intelligence, they only noticed that the object of their fear had disappeared; they did not consider that Dong Tianyu, having once produced that object, could bring it out again after it vanished.
But the cunning Wizard Wraiths and intelligent Black Warriors noticed this matter, yet they chose not to inform the other Undead Creatures. After all, in the eyes of the higher-ranking undead, those of lower rank were nothing more than cannon fodder to be freely expended.
Watching Dong Tianyu stow away the extinguishers and approach their location, the Wizard Wraiths immediately ordered the zombies to charge toward Dong Tianyu.
The reason they didn’t send in the Skeleton Army, which was of a lower rank than the zombies, was because the zombies had the slowest movement speed of all the Undead Creatures present. If all the undead attacked Dong Tianyu together, it was likely that the zombies wouldn’t reach the battlefield until the fighting was nearly over.
As the zombies charged head-on, drawing Dong Tianyu’s attention, the Wraiths silently vanished from the camp.
Under the command of the Wizard Wraiths, the skeletons closely followed behind the zombies, with the Black Warriors blending in among the Skeleton Army.
Only the Wizard Wraiths stood near the necromancy tower, seemingly unwilling to join the battle themselves.
Faced with the ferocious charge of the Undead Army, Dong Tianyu had no intention of going into close combat. He took out Basic Flying Swords he had refined in his spare time from the Storage Space and controlled them to strike the Undead Army from a distance.
The dozen or so Flying Swords darted through the Undead Army like swimming fish, ramming through their ranks. With every turn, they decapitated an Undead Creature, moving as if in an uninhabited territory.
A few passes of the Flying Swords easily decapitated all the zombies, separating their heads from their bodies. However, for Undead Creatures, decapitation did not mean death; without any external influence, given enough time, their bodies could reanimate instantly upon finding their heads.
But Dong Tianyu was not the kind of person to leave his enemies with an opportunity. After the Flying Swords had severed all the zombies’ heads, those very swords, like skewering candied haws, each carried several zombie heads back to Dong Tianyu.
After Dong Tianyu stored the heads skewered on the swords in the Storage Space, the Flying Swords, under his control, returned to the area where the zombie corpses were severed and brought back the scattered heads to Dong Tianyu’s side.
By the time the Skeleton Army launched their attack, almost all the zombie heads on the ground had already been collected and disintegrated within the Cave.
After dealing with the zombies, Dong Tianyu prepared to use his old tactics to dispose of the skeletons, but as the Flying Swords plunged into the skeleton ranks, the Black Warriors hidden among them launched a surprise attack on the Flying Swords.
The Flying Swords Dong Tianyu used this time were ones he had forged shortly after learning Artifact Refining. Although they were also Magic Artifacts, they could only be considered average since they were practice pieces made from ordinary materials.
So, the damage they took from the Black Warriors’ surprise attack was expected; after all, a practice piece made from ordinary materials would definitely be inferior to the two meticulously crafted Flying Swords that Dong Tianyu commonly used.
As soon as a Black Warrior injured a Flying Sword, Dong Tianyu noticed it. However, as he prepared to take precise shots at the Black Warriors, he suddenly felt a significant drop in temperature around his body.
Before Dong Tianyu had time to identify the culprit, a group of Wraiths appeared beside him, as if attempting to envelop him.
Realizing he was surrounded by Wraiths, Dong Tianyu did not panic. For such weak enemies that came close to him voluntarily, Dong Tianyu had a more straightforward solution.
The soul-based constitution of the Wraiths made them virtually invulnerable to pure physical damage when facing purely physical enemies, a kind of BUG-level existence, allowing them not only to completely immune physical damage but also to float and become invisible at will.
However, these abilities of the Wraiths were utterly nullified within the range covered by Divine Sense, which restrained them completely. If Dong Tianyu truly wanted to kill the Wraiths, even without skills specifically targeting spiritual entities, the mere use of rough Spiritual Impact could seriously injure them.
Facing the Wraiths wholly suppressed by Divine Sense, Dong Tianyu finally experienced the full power of Divine Sense.
However, using Divine Sense directly to kill the Wraiths was too wasteful for Dong Tianyu. Upon noticing he was surrounded by Wraiths, he immediately opened a portal to the Cave beside him and, with the telekinetic force accompanying Divine Sense, sent the encircling Wraiths one by one into a newly formed section of the Cave.
The Wizard Wraiths may have been in a position far from the front line, but being adept at magic, they kept an eye on Dong Tianyu’s situation with the Sorcerer’s Eye. When they saw how easily Dong Tianyu dealt with the Wraiths, the Wizard Wraiths realized the situation was becoming troublesome.
