Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge-Chapter 576 - 377: Think You Can Run? There’s a Price to Pay!
An incorrect estimate of the strengths of both sides directly led to the collapse of the Insect Race leader’s plan.
Now, retreating was not so easy.
On the battlefield, any anomaly would not escape Zi Liyuan’s eyes.
When he noticed that some Epic Boss insects were trying to flee the scene, Zi Liyuan didn’t hesitate to order Lao Tie, Lao Ma, Hongsha, and Dailisi to pounce on them as well.
Thinking of escaping?
They would have to leave behind at least half of the Epic Boss insects’ corpses!
Zi Liyuan himself was not idle either, as the fifth "Death Tide" once again swept across the field.
The retreating swarm of insects had already been subjected to attacks from the Yuki-onna’s frost domain and the assaults of the Undead creatures, with many of their hit points greatly diminished.
Now, with Zi Liyuan executing another wave-clearing skill, the effect was extremely evident.
Another vast wave of insects died, their bodies corroded by the deadly miasma.
The ordinary Fourth Order insects left behind one-quarter of their corpses.
The First Order insect Bosses also couldn’t withstand the repeated impacts of the "Death Tide" and perished in Lord Zi’s territory.
However, the death of the insects also caused blockages on the road.
There was no way around it; after killing nearly six or seven million insects, the outskirts of the entire territory were almost covered with insect corpses.
With every step, the corpses of the insects piled up to your knees, which made it extremely troublesome for the Undead creatures to pursue them.
Fortunately, among the Undead species Zi Liyuan had recruited, there were members of the Spectre and Blood Race.
The former, being ghostly entities, could become ethereal and were completely unaffected by the corpses, pursuing at high speeds and relentlessly slaughtering the fleeing insects.
The Vampires temporarily transformed into a sky full of bats, swooping in for the attack.
The insects, set on escaping and offering no resistance, were frequently dragged into the air by the bats and torn to shreds.
Zi Liyuan watched the insect swarm retreat like a tide, with a rising intent to kill in his eyes.
He no longer continued to use "Death Tide," but instead started deploying high-powered lethal abilities.
He started off with the "Death Dark Arrow," the strongest single-target skill in his arsenal.
An Epic insect frozen to the ground by the frost behemoth had a large hole blown through its forehead.

The violent force of darkness surged into the insect’s body, wreaking havoc inside; in almost an instant, it eradicated the remaining life force of this Epic Boss.
A terrifying display of blood-red numbers in the tens of millions floated up from the head of the insect.
Instant kill!
Then came a series of Spears of Death that Lord Zi almost instantaneously conjured.
Guided with precision by the power of the Spirit, dozens of Spears of Death, brimming with the Power of Death, impaled the insects’ heads unerringly.
The Spears of Death easily penetrated the insects’ tough exoskeletons and pierced through their skulls.
Damage numbers surpassing 200 million drifted above the insects’ heads before they fell to the ground like collapsing mountains, devoid of life.
This horrifying efficiency in slaughtering the Epic Boss insects directly petrified the Insect Race leader hiding behind the scenes.
An unexpected pang of terror shook its spirit, causing it to tremble.
As for the strength of its Epic Boss insects, the Insect Race leader was well aware.
Yet, this Lord of Death alone was able to inflict over a billion damage with his skills; what if they targeted it?
Wouldn’t it also incur a billion in damage?
Now its strength was suppressed by the Sea of Realms, being only a Tier 4 Peak Level 100 with just over ten billion hit points.
Thinking back to its recent plan to personally destroy the enemy Lord’s Mansion, the Insect Race leader was sweating bullets.
This Lord of Death had the power to slay it!
With this realization, the Insect Race leader furiously cursed the Sea Sky Path for betraying it, while frantically issuing orders for the swarm to retreat.
They could not win!
Escape quickly!
Minimize the losses!
In the future, if they saw this fiend, they would make a wide detour unless they had a swarm of hundreds of millions!
Zi Liyuan, of course, was unaware that his explosive actions had just exterminated over a dozen Epic Boss insects and scared the Insect Race leader lurking behind the curtain.
At this moment, he was completely focused on killing a few more Epic insects.
Ability after ability poured out of him; various curses enveloped swathes of the insect swarm.
He was beating the drowning dog, chasing after and slaughtering them furiously!
With Zi Liyuan’s assistance, the Spider Queen, the Golden Behemoths, and the Frost Giants were freed from their shackles.
They immediately targeted the frantically fleeing Epic Boss insects.
These Epic insects weren’t stupid either; they scattered and fled, taking blows without striking back, focused solely on escaping as fast as possible.
A single Legendary or Epic Boss could at most entangle one, clinging desperately to prevent it from running away.
As for the Spectral Dragon Bosses, subdued by Replicas, each one ignored the Spectral Dragons’ attacks—the damage was insignificant compared to their lives being at stake.
Moreover, these insect Epic Bosses all possessed regenerative abilities for severed limbs.
Out of thirty-eight Epic Boss insects, seventeen were killed by Zi Liyuan in coordination with a single Boss.
Thirteen others were held back by a group of Bosses and failed to escape his territory; in the end, all were nailed to the ground.
It could be said that this insect calamity had severely damaged the vitality of this nest of insects.
They certainly wouldn’t recover anytime soon.
Zi Liyuan was also confident that this swarm would not dare to trouble him for a while.
Especially since the insect escape had also destroyed much of the subterranean tunnel networks.
