Chapter 91: Chapter 83: This Necromancer Is Too Strong
...
It wore a helmet fashioned from the skull of a Barbaric Beast.
Its scarlet eyes blazed with a searing, bloody light, and it gripped a heavy hammer forged from fine steel.
Rather than a goblin, it was more like a warring Barbaric Beast that had charged out of a primeval jungle.
Judging by its physique and aura, even a fully armored Bear Goblin would be smashed into a meat patty by a single swing of its hammer.
"ROAR—!!"
Bloodtooth Skullcrusher’s intelligence was clearly a cut above that of an ordinary goblin. The moment it appeared, its savage gaze locked onto Lynch, who was mounted on a Hellhound Skeleton and surrounded by his massive Undead Army.
It roared again, its thick legs powerfully pushing off the ground. Its colossal body charged toward Lynch like a terrestrial dragon.
"BOOM—CRACK—CLATTER!"
The Skeleton Soldiers blocking its path, whether they were mere grunts or the slightly stronger elite Skeletons, were no match for it at all.
The heavy warhammer swept past with a piercing whistle. The Skeletons, as if struck head-on by a heavy Siege Hammer, instantly exploded into countless bone fragments in mid-air, which then clattered to the ground.
It didn’t even need to swing its hammer deliberately. Its brutal charge alone was enough to send the Skeletons in its way scattering, their frames shattering.
’What a fierce warrior. It truly has the makings of one who could take on ten thousand foes.’
Lynch marveled.
This goblin Chieftain’s physical strength and combat instincts far surpassed any Undead Unit currently under his command, including the Black Corpse.
But despite his astonishment, Lynch wasn’t panicked. Instead, a fervent gleam appeared in his eyes.
’Bloodtooth is so powerful. Once I recruit it, won’t I have another mighty general under my command?’
However, admiration was one thing. He could look down on his enemy strategically, but he had to take it seriously tactically.
He absolutely could not let it rampage through his Sea of Skulls and cause unnecessary losses.
"Go."
With a single thought from Lynch, he and the bone mage, who worked in perfect concert with him, acted almost simultaneously.
Two spheres of cursed light, one white and one red, shot out, streaked across the night sky, and landed precisely on the rampaging Bloodtooth Skullcrusher.
In that instant,
Bloodtooth’s charging figure clearly faltered, and it let out a muffled grunt of pain and fury.
But its charging speed only slowed by ten or twenty percent.
The Curse’s effect was weaker than he had imagined, and this was even after Lynch had become a Tier One Caster.
’Its resistance is that high?’ Lynch’s brow furrowed slightly.
This Bloodtooth Chieftain had clearly focused on strength and constitution, so it naturally had extremely high resistance to Low Tier curse-type Magic.
’Looks like I’ll have to find time to grind the level of my Weakness Curse skill,’ Lynch thought to himself. ’Otherwise, when I face even stronger enemies in the future, my curse skills will be useless.’
Fortunately, among a Necromancer’s skills, curses were a relatively easy category to cultivate, and casting them didn’t require any materials.
Besides, with Bloodtooth’s strength, even with a Curse on it, it would probably shake off the effects in about ten breaths’ time.
It seemed he would have to stay focused and reapply the Curse from time to time.
But that was fine. He could just treat it as skill practice.
And just as these thoughts flashed through Lynch’s mind,
Bloodtooth had already broken through the outer layer of Skeletons and was getting closer and closer to Lynch’s position in the center of the army.
Bone Jade and Black Corpse had already led their troops forward to intercept it.
But Bloodtooth’s warhammer was immensely powerful, and combined with its brutal, overwhelming charge, it actually forced even Bone Jade and Black Corpse to retreat repeatedly. They could only barely entangle it, unable to completely halt its momentum.
At that moment, Lynch glanced at the beautiful snake-women. "Miss Serena, it’s time for you to show your worth."
He could, of course, wear down the goblin Chieftain with his Sea of Skulls tactic, but the losses would be significant.
"Go. Coordinate with my generals and finish it."
As his voice fell, Serena and the Naga guards stiffened slightly.
They glanced at the very weak Her Highness Sea Song, who was being "protected" by Lynch on Red Rabbit’s back, and then at the Bloodtooth Chieftain, which was as arrogant and unstoppable as a Demon God.
Although they felt some fear in their hearts,
Serena understood that if they wanted to keep their highness safe and fight for a chance at survival, they had to prove they were useful enough.
"For Her Highness!"
Serena let out a low cry, her twin blades leaving their sheaths.
"Sisters, with me! Let’s show that filthy goblin Chieftain the might of the Deep Sea Warriors."
"Yes, Captain!"
The other five Naga guards responded in unison, a fierce fighting spirit igniting in their eyes.
With a powerful flick of their strong serpentine tails, their speed suddenly surged. Like six sharp arrows, they fearlessly charged into the battlefield from the flank, heading straight for the Bloodtooth Chieftain that was entangled with Bone Jade and Black Corpse.
With six Naga—especially Serena, a Tier Two powerhouse—joining the siege, the originally precarious situation instantly stabilized.
Serena’s twin blades were nimble and swift, like fluttering petrels, specifically targeting Bloodtooth’s joints, the gaps in its Armor, and other weak points. Her attacks complemented the fierce slashes of Bone Jade’s Bone Knife.
The other five Naga used the flexibility of their serpentine tails to harass it, coordinating their tridents and sword-and-shield combinations to constantly attack from the sides and rear, diverting Bloodtooth’s attention.
Adding to that was Black Corpse, a painless and immensely strong meat shield, clashing with it head-on, while the surrounding Skeleton Soldiers fearlessly used their bodies to slow its movements...
Even though Bloodtooth Skullcrusher was incomparably valiant, its Tier Three strength reigning supreme on the battlefield, it was now forcefully bogged down, trapped in a quagmire of being ganged up on.
