Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 478 - 347: Skeleton Battle Group, Clone Evolution Path_2

BOOM!

At this moment, a sharp Corpse Long Spear descended from the sky, striking one of the "small" Mutated Stiffened Spiders that was over half a meter long. Under the terrifying impact, the air exploded. The creature’s carapace, thicker than tank armor, shattered with a loud crack, and half of its body was pulverized by Fang Zhou’s single strike.

Simultaneously, a black Bone Spine pierced through the mist, shooting out at near-sonic speed to penetrate the head of another Mutated Stiffened Spider that had just landed nearby.

As Fang Zhou’s body density increased and his height neared three meters, his power grew even more terrifying. His explosive muscle strength was greater, his armor was thicker and harder, and his speed was more agile, far surpassing other Mutated Undead Creatures of the same level. Especially in the days after consuming the Blue Energy Crystal, Fang Zhou had been training to control his bursts of power.

Now, power gathered in the Corpse Long Spear held tightly in Fang Zhou’s right hand. The instantaneous explosion of force was terrifying, seemingly capable of destroying anything. Even though these Mutated Stiffened Spiders had astonishingly thick carapaces that were as hard as alloy, they could not withstand a single strike from Fang Zhou.

Therefore, the Close Combat Skeleton Warriors led by Olaf and Tidamia rampaged head-on, attracting the attention of most of the Mutated Stiffened Spiders. Meanwhile, Fang Zhou, who had concealed most of his aura, lurked in the darkness, continuously killing the scattered Mutated Stiffened Spiders. The two groups cooperated seamlessly, and in just a moment’s time, more than ten Mutated Stiffened Spiders fell under Fang Zhou’s spear.

It was only then that the other Mutated Stiffened Spiders realized something was wrong.

SCREECH!

Accompanied by a sharp cry, the largest of the Mutated Stiffened Spiders roared in fury. Its massive legs moved swiftly as it turned to charge at the distant Fang Zhou. This Mutated Stiffened Spider was extremely fast, its enormous body crossing a distance of tens of meters in the blink of an eye, carried by a wave of ferocious power.

However, Fang Zhou was not slow either; his figure flickered, turning into a black shadow as he dodged past it.

BOOM!

Fang Zhou’s spear struck again, shattering half the carapace of a Mutated Stiffened Spider that was over a meter long. Compared to the ones that were half a meter long, these meter-long spiders had stronger defenses, with carapaces that were even harder, as if forged from some kind of alloy.

CRACK!

A pincer emitting a black-blue glow landed on Fang Zhou’s back, erupting in a misty aftershock. The sharp pincers could not be completely blocked even by the Battle Qi Shield that Fang Zhou had condensed, but they only managed to carve two enormous "scars" about a centimeter deep into the shield.

BOOM!

Immediately after being attacked, Fang Zhou spun around and struck down with a terrifying eruption of power, blasting apart half the body of the meter-long Mutated Stiffened Spider behind him. The dense mist was blasted into an airwave that surged several meters, an impressive display of power.

On the turbid battlefield, Fang Zhou glanced at his fully restored Battle Qi Shield, his pale-red vertical pupils cold and without a ripple of emotion. His Battle Qi Shield was no ordinary means of defense; it was condensed from the powerful energy within him and was extremely tough. Although the black-blue energy entwining the pincers had strong tearing properties against a skeletal body, it was not particularly effective against this kind of Energy Shield. Furthermore, the special structure of his Corpse Armor had dissipated most of the attack’s force, rendering the sharp pincers unable to truly break through Fang Zhou’s defenses.

Watching Fang Zhou weave flexibly through the canyon, continuously killing one Mutated Stiffened Spider after another, the heavily injured Tidamia grew excited and charged forward again, waving his Beheading Giant Sword.

BOOM!

The frenzied Skeleton Army stirred the air, pulling in and restraining some of the Mutated Stiffened Spiders that were trying to surround Fang Zhou. Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, the Berserker Heroic Spirit Olaf swung his gigantic War Axe. Even as two more wounds were torn open on his body, he sent a massive Mutated Stiffened Spider flying with a loud thud.

While being pursued by the other massive Mutated Stiffened Spider, Fang Zhou continued to kill the "smaller" ones. Soon, thanks to the combined slaughter by Fang Zhou and the Skeleton Army, more than twenty Mutated Stiffened Spiders had been obliterated, their legs shredded to pieces, in just a short while. Only the two largest Mutated Stiffened Spiders remained, their legs spanning nearly five meters wide when spread out.

SKREEEEE!!

The two Mutated Stiffened Spiders had seemingly inherited the fearless trait of Undead Creatures. Despite the dire situation, they still exuded a frenzied killing intent. With a roar, Fang Zhou was the first to charge, heading for the giant Stiffened Spider on the left.

BANG! BANG!

Sharp pincer-legs, like scythe-tipped spikes, slammed down from the sky, crashing hard into the ground and kicking up clouds of sand and dirt, but Fang Zhou deftly dodged them.

Facing the approaching Fang Zhou, the giant Mutated Stiffened Spider swept its pincers from left and right, unleashing a violent blast of air that kicked up sand and stones, creating an imposing sight. More importantly, the instant they clamped shut, the motion of the pincers was similar to a Burst Skill used by a human Combat Professional.

He instinctively dodged to the side.

BOOM! BOOM!

Two impacts, like shots from a giant cannon, exploded with a deafening roar. They shot past Fang Zhou and slammed into the canyon wall several meters away. The wall instantly quaked as if it were about to collapse, and countless fragments of stone flew as two enormous, deep pits were blasted into the rock face. The terrifying power startled even Fang Zhou, who had just dodged the strike. Evidently, aside from the black energy that made its pincers incredibly sharp, this giant Mutated Stiffened Spider’s pincers also possessed an instant burst ability.

WHOOSH!

At that moment, black energy leaped across Fang Zhou’s body as he exuded a chilling intent of death. Just as the giant Mutated Stiffened Spider’s pincers burst forth, Fang Zhou dodged the attack, shot out his left hand, and gripped the Stiffened Spider’s left pincer tightly. His feet landed firmly on the ground, and he straightened his entire body.

BOOM!

With an explosion of terrifying power, Fang Zhou swung the enormous Mutated Stiffened Spider into the air. Accompanied by rolling, frenzied roars, he smashed it into the ground. Instantly, the entire canyon shook. The shockwave kicked up endless sand and dirt, churning the area for several meters around into a turbid mess. At the same time, the underbelly of the overturned Stiffened Spider was exposed.

Before it could react, Fang Zhou’s figure flashed, and he pounced on it. The moment he landed on its body, the Stiffened Spider, sensing the aura of death, went into a frenzy. Its long legs thrashed wildly.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Wherever its sharp legs passed, rocks shattered and sand billowed, making the canyon even murkier. The commotion was immense. But because its legs were too long, the Stiffened Spider couldn’t reach Fang Zhou on its underbelly. It could only wail as it felt its abdomen being torn apart. At this point, the Corpse Long Spear in Fang Zhou’s hand erupted with power, directly shattering the Stiffened Spider’s abdomen. Instantly, its massive body crashed heavily onto the ground and stopped moving.

While Fang Zhou seized the opportunity to kill this Stiffened Spider, the battle on the other side was much fiercer. Olaf, Tidamia, and the other skeleton minions were still fighting the other one. Olaf had clamped down on one side of the Stiffened Spider’s body. Ignoring the massive wounds its pincers left on his own body, he was furiously slamming it against the canyon wall. Meanwhile, Tidamia led the other close-combat skeletons, taking opportunities to land blows from the side.

This frenzied style of combat made even Fang Zhou, who had just finished his own kill, feel the corners of his eyes twitch. Fortunately, to Fang Zhou, both Olaf and the skeleton minions were disposable cannon fodder that he could summon or replenish at any time. Thus, no matter how many injuries they sustained, it was of no consequence to him.

Still, it was best to avoid unnecessary losses where possible.

Fang Zhou once again raised the Corpse Long Spear in his hand and joined the chaotic Battle Group. Less than a minute later, the entire canyon finally fell silent.
