Heavenly Calamity

Chapter 23: Skeleton Mage

Views:

The Bone Jewelry Set has no additional attributes or attack bonuses, but it has a 10% probability of doubling damage. This is a very practical effect. Because there is no limit on the damage type, whether it is a physical attack or a spell attack, on average one out of ten attacks will cause double damage. If a warrior attacks frequently, the effect will always be triggered. When a mage attacks multiple targets with range magic, the trigger probability is also the same. Not low, generally improves output capability.

This is just a level 5 black iron suit.

This effect is already pretty good!

Zhang Mu is equipped with an accessory set, and his attack and attributes, life and magic have all been strengthened to a certain extent. He has also been upgraded to level 6, so his strength has been greatly improved.

Captain Skeleton also revealed a broad sword with good attributes. Zhang Mu handed the sword to Chen Ling for use. She is a level 5 swordsman herself, so using an ax would be out of place. Moreover, the broad sword's attack is not low, enough to turn Chen Ling into a relatively powerful output.

Now that there are two level 6 players in the team, Zhang Mu has more than half of his equipment, and his overall combat effectiveness has made a qualitative leap.

The five people stopped to rest for a while, then set off again towards the depths of the cave.

Soon, a skeleton soldier appeared in sight.

"You guys stand here and let me try my hand."

Zhang Mu took out his swords and headed towards the skeleton soldier. The skeleton soldier soon discovered Zhang Mu and ran towards him waving his sword. Zhang Mu took a slight breath, then suddenly swung his swords, first activated the assassination skill, and then launched a new skill - Continuous Slash with the Wind.

"-18!"

"-15!"

"The suit effect is triggered, -34!"

"-17!"

"-12!"

"The effect of the Skeleton Soldier's Sword is triggered!"

Five sword lights hit the skeleton soldiers, causing a total of more than 96 points of horrific damage!

Zhang Mu's violent wind chops actually attacked 5 times in a row. The number of attacks of the Continuous Wind Slash is mainly affected by agility and attack speed. It is difficult to exceed 3 times before level 10. As an elite monster, Captain Skeleton has much higher attack speed and agility than Zhang Mu, but it only caused 4 slashes.

The most critical reason why Zhang Mu can deal 5 damage is the skill [Assassination LV1]. This skill does not cause any additional damage, can greatly increase the shooting speed, and it can be stacked with other skills. Zhang Mu just activated [Assassination LV1] and [Gust Continuous Slash LV1] together, and combined with the advantage of dual-wielding, it resulted in five slashes. If there was no assassination assistance, it would probably only be three or four attacks.

The third attack triggered the suit's effect, causing double damage.

On the 5th attack, the effect of the left hand skeleton sword was triggered.

The so-called curse mainly refers to more than a dozen negative states such as [Petrification], [Weakness], [Slowdown], and [Paralysis]. Curse attacks are not successful every time, and there is a certain risk of failure. When Zhang Mu attacks with the skull sword, there is a 1% chance of causing a random curse on the target. This time, it triggers petrification.

This unlucky skeleton soldier was first cut off half of his blood by the strong wind. Before he could raise his weapon, his whole body was covered with a layer of lime gray, and he was as immobile as a stone statue.

Zhang Mu would not miss a good opportunity and immediately struck out with four or five swords. When the curse was lifted, the skeleton soldier had already lost its health. Zhang Mu waved a ray of cold light, and the fish sword struck the skeleton's cervical vertebra, causing a tearing attack. The skeleton soldier's cervical vertebra was broken, and the skull flew out upside down and landed more than ten meters away. The flames in his eyes flickered a few times and were completely extinguished. .

Everyone else was stunned. After all, this was a level 5 black iron elite. It had no chance to fight back. It was killed by the sword in less than three seconds. It was a bit exaggerated!

Sun Bing chuckled and said, "Captain is getting stronger and stronger!"

Leng Yun stared at the back of the figure who was not stalwart but very secure, and nodded in agreement.

Chen Ling's eyes became hot, revealing a look of deep envy. She was very envious of Zhang Mu's skill and strength, and she couldn't help but put a little more force into her sword-holding hand. If... she also had such strength, how great would it be

The fat man dismissed Sun Bing's words and curled his lips and said, "Isn't this nonsense?"

Zhang Mu basically has the ability to kill skeleton soldiers as ordinary monsters. Of course, this is at his peak. The reason why Zhang Mu was able to quickly deal with the skeleton soldiers was mainly due to the continuous slashing of the wind and the triggering of two effects. Under normal circumstances, it was not that easy.

Zhang Mu picked up the trophy, the bracelet in the Bone Jewelry Set, which had an effect of +1 on all attributes. The one who needs attribute enhancement most now is Sun Bing, so I gave him the Bone Bracelet.

The Skeleton Cave is still a long way away, and there are probably many skeleton soldiers and even more powerful skeleton monsters.

The five of them fought all the way without taking a break, killing seven skeleton soldiers one after another. Both Leng Yun and Sun Bing were upgraded. Not only were they in full condition, but their strength was also improved.

These skeleton soldiers did not explode any equipment, but they dropped two bone rings in succession, one for Sun Bing and one for Leng Yun. The effect of the Bone Ring is good, the health and magic points are +10 at the same time. Leng Yun has very low health and often does not have enough magic.

The passage of the cave becomes wider and wider. When you walk around a corner, a place of several hundred square meters appears in front of you. Three skeletons stand in the middle. There is a gap several meters in diameter in the rock directly above. The moonlight shines from the high rock gap. It pours down and sprinkles on the three skeletons, making the bones white. The will-o'-the-wisps dance in the eyes, staring straight in the direction of the passage. This scene makes people feel a little scared.

However, Zhang Mu was not worried.

The senses of undead creatures have no effect. They perceive in a special way, so even though they are standing in front of them, the skeleton cannot see many people at all. However, once they enter the range of the skeleton's perception, even if they are approaching from behind, the skeleton will instantly notice it.

These three skeletons are obviously different. Two skeletons holding spears are located on both sides, and a skeleton wearing a red patterned robe and holding a two-meter-long staff stands in the middle.

[Spear Skeleton] (Bronze), Level 6, HP 500, Magic 200, Introduction: He was a spear warrior and the main force in the army.

[Skeleton Mage] (Bronze), level 8, health 400, magic 400, introduction: He was a magician in the army during his lifetime, and had strong magic ability.

These three skeletons are stronger than the three skeleton captains. The skeleton mage among them is obviously a mage monster. This is the most troublesome in the early stage. It is not easy to deal with magic monsters. The attack of mage monsters is too high. As long as one or two magics pass by, Ordinary people will definitely be killed instantly.

As for the spear skeletons, they have extremely high health and are wearing armor. Judging from the introduction, they were engaged in gunfights during their lives. The spear warriors are very similar to knights, except that the former cannot be equipped with a shield. Their main weapon is a spear, so they are monsters with thick health and high defense. . According to the strategy of killing the small monsters first and then the big monsters, the five of them would be reduced to rubbish by magic if they didn't even kill a spear skeleton. The Skeleton Mage is a big threat. If it is not dealt with quickly, the team will be destroyed.

"Let's focus our firepower to kill the mage first!" Zhang Mu quickly analyzed the situation and began to arrange the task, "Sun Bing, you first attract the monster's attention. The task is to hold the two spear skeletons. Chen Ling is responsible for assisting Sun Bing. I, Fatty, Leng Yun will deal with the mage with all his strength, as long as the skeleton mage dies, the two spear skeletons will not be a threat."

Several people nodded.

Zhang Mu ordered: "Don't use Fatty's brutal collision indiscriminately. This skill can cause a 1-second stun effect. Although it is ineffective against the undead, it can also interrupt the spell at critical moments."

"I see."

"Then start taking action and be careful."

Sun Bing carried the shield and went forward first. Sixty or seventy meters away from the skeletons, they were alarmed at the same time. The two skeletons suddenly lowered their spears two meters, kicked off the ground with their feet, and rushed forward. The spears suddenly thrust out, and the spear heads A white edge appeared.

This skill is very similar to the swordsman's charge, but it is a common skill for knights and gunfights - charge!

Sun Bing shouted: "Trouble, they have such skills!"

At this time, the skeleton mage raised his staff to create a magic shield with 50 points of defense. A ball of flame was summoned from the staff, which was particularly obvious in the dark cave. It instantly condensed into a cone of fire and shot over with a whoosh.

[Fire Cone] is one of the most powerful single-target attack spells in the early stage!

Sun Bing's shield was burned black, the flames ignited Sun Bing's clothes, and the powerful magical power caused his life to drop by less than half.

Two skeletons with spears arrived one after another. One spear was pierced on the shield and was deflected, causing 9 points of damage. The other spear was pierced on the thigh, causing 18 points of damage. Sun Bing could not feel the pain despite his petrified skin. Chen Ling swung her sword and slashed at a skeleton with a spear, causing only a dozen points of damage. The skeleton shot back and stabbed her in the abdomen. Chen Ling quickly retreated behind Sun Bing, and the two skeletons with spears raised their spears and attacked again.

"Jab!"

Two spears hit the shield, almost piercing the broken shield. Sun Bing was pushed to the ground by the powerful force. Chen Ling could only bite the bullet and resist the spear skeleton. Fortunately, the spear skeleton was not very fast and she could barely resist for a while.

The skeleton mage was about to cast a spell when Zhang Mu skated directly in front of him and hit him with a series of violent slashes. Five sword strikes broke the magic shield and caused more than 30 additional points of damage. Leng Yun quickly hit him with an ice arrow and an acid bullet. , the skeleton mage's health dropped to 75%, and the fat man rushed up.

"Frost breath!"

A burst of mist erupted from the skeleton mage's body, and Zhang Mu and Fatty were engulfed by the bone-piercing cold. Their whole bodies were covered with a layer of frost, and their legs and feet were completely numb, and they could hardly move.

The fat man said angrily: "Fuck! How come there is such a spell?"

The skeleton mage took the opportunity to run more than ten meters, and suddenly shot a fireball, hitting Zhang Mu's chest. The raging flames enveloped most of his body, knocking out at least 50% of his health. At the same time, his health continued to decrease under the flames. Zhang Mu's leather armor was scorched, and the intense pain was definitely not something ordinary people could endure. The Skeleton Mage raised his staff and saw countless red sparks appearing in the air within two meters. Under the control of the Skeleton Mage, these sparks all condensed like the palm of his left hand and condensed into a fireball the size of a fist.

"Exploding fireball!"

This is almost the strongest attack skill in the early stage of an elementalist!

The attack of this technique is more than twice that of the ice arrow technique, and it has a range of killing effect. Even Sun Bing will be killed instantly!

Zhang Mu shouted: "Fat man!"

As soon as the fat man was lifted from the frost state, he launched a brutal collision. His whole body was covered with red light and he hit the skeleton mage. The undead would not enter the dazed state, but the violent impact made the skeleton mage fly backwards and the magic was interrupted. There was no concentration. The fireball that rose up dissipated directly. The fat man walked up quickly and struck the skeleton mage with his sword, causing 25 points of damage and cutting off 5% of his health with one sword strike.
