From Skeleton Soldiers to King of the Undead - Chapter 186 The War Begins

“Go together?”

Hal looked at Phillip again and felt that he seemed a little younger than himself. “Okay… let me ask first, are you a senior mage?”

Philip said: “Although I don’t have magic power, I am a necromancer, a third-level adventurer recognized by the guild, and my spell ability is more focused on summoning.”

As he spoke, he waved his staff and summoned a bipedal bone dragon from above his head.

“Ang——” The bone dragon roared, flew out of the teleportation array, flapped its huge black wings more than ten meters long, and slowly landed next to Phillip, squatting on the ground docilely like a pet.

This is a bipedal dragon born from the upper area. It was transformed into an undead by Philip and has the strength of a high-level monster.

Phillip floated up and landed on the back of the bone dragon, and said to Hal:

“Come up here, it’s too dangerous here. We have to cross the outer area quickly. Only by reaching the Spiral Tower in the core area can we avoid the pursuit of the dark faction.”

“Okay, but you have to tell me what happened…” Hal hesitated for a moment and climbed up along the bone dragon’s tail.

“Gone.” Philip poked the summoned creature’s spine with the end of his staff.

The bone dragon jumped up on its feet, flapped its wings and slowly rose into the air, carrying the two of them away from here.

After starting to move quickly, Philip found that every few hundred meters or even tens of meters, they would pass through an invisible space portal, constantly changing their direction of travel, allowing them to circle back and forth in several areas.

If this continues, it is completely unknown how long it will take to reach the core area of ​​the ruins. It may be a few days, it may be a few months.

Half an hour later,

“That’s…the undead?”

Philip looked down and saw three frost undead knights besieging an earth element puppet.

This was the first time he saw a frost undead in the ruins, and he had never seen such a monster before.

Hal said: “Those ice monsters will not actively attack people. I have seen them several times. They will only attack those rock monsters. They should be the summons of some mage.”

“Ice undead…” Philip pursed his lips, looked at the monsters below, and thought of something.

At this moment, an undead knight on the ground suddenly raised his head, and his eyes burning with blue flames looked at him quietly from a distance.

Then it waved as if to say hello.

Philip’s eyes widened.

Hal said to him with a strange expression: “The undead seems to be waving to you. Is it because you are also a necromancer?”

“…No, of course not.”

Phillip opened his mouth and was stunned for a while before saying: “Did you see it wrong? Why do I feel that it is waving to you?”

“Huh? Really? Strange…” Hal scratched his head and looked down again.

But the undead knight below just waved his hand twice and continued to besiege the earth element puppets with several other similar ones.

Soon, the puppet was frozen and shattered, and the fragments of the pseudo-philosopher’s stone hidden in the body were also taken away by the undead. It seemed that they cooperated quite well.

“Those monsters are very powerful.”

Hal’s expression became solemn, and he said seriously to Philip beside him: “It seems that anyone is more powerful than the skull dragon you control…”

He had just seen the bone dragon breathing fire to deal with the elemental puppet. The power was obviously not as powerful as the undead knight’s frost power, and it was like scratching an itch for the puppet.

Phillip’s face froze, “That’s just because of attribute restraint, but being able to control so many high-level undead, he is indeed very powerful…”

Hal asked curiously: “Which mage do these monsters belong to? Do you know?”

“Of course I don’t know.”

Phillip quickly shook his head, “There’s nothing to see, let’s go.”

After saying that, he drove the bone dragon and flew away from here.

But soon, they encountered a sudden attack.

“Ho!” Two demon-like monsters emerged from the portal, stopped in front of the bone dragon, roared and rushed toward them.

On their heads are a pair of curved threaded horns, the tops of their heads are hairless, and their goblin-like faces have a large mouth full of serrations.

The humanoid body is not tall, but strong and muscular. Its body is covered with long black hair, with a pair of black wings on its back. It exudes a strong ominous aura.

A high-level monster in the maze, the dwarf!

It is a lower-level monster of the same type as the more powerful fourth-level monster “Demon”.

“careful!”

Hal was more experienced in combat and his reactions were quicker. He held the sword in both hands and suddenly took a step forward to block Philip, the mage.

“ah!”

Philip then reacted, and while placing a magic barrier in front of Hal, he waved his staff and released a black magic cannon!

“Boom!” At the same time, the bone dragon under his feet raised its head and sprayed out a wave of blazing blue fire, drowning the two dwarf demons.

The battle lasted less than ten seconds and ended. In the end, with the cooperation of the two, the two dwarves were beheaded by Hal.

“How come there are dwarves here?”

Philip was surprised, “According to the information I know, this kind of monster will not be born in the ruins…could it be done by someone from the dark faction?”

He guessed and said:

“The dwarfs… demons and apostles are attacking level six adventurers, and then they summoned these monsters to hunt down those of us who are weak?”

Just as Hal was about to say something, he saw five more dwarves appearing from the surroundings, flapping their wings and flying toward them.

“Too many! Let’s go!”

…

Just when Philip and Hal were attacked, other adventurers in the ruins also encountered an astonishing number of lemure monsters.

“Ah! Help!” A mage wanted to fly away, but was swarmed by five dwarf demons, torn into several pieces and stuffed into their mouths.

“Damn it! Why – ah!” On the ground, his fellow warrior was seriously injured and lying on the ground, being devoured piece by piece by a fat insect lemure.

These high-level monsters that originally appeared in the lower levels of the maze suddenly appeared from all directions and launched a crazy attack on the adventurers. Because there were too many monsters, the adventurers suffered a large number of casualties in a short period of time…

Did the dark faction summon so many monsters?

In a mountain forest, Roja was observing the actions of adventurers and dark faction leaders in the ruins through the perspective of thousands of legion monsters.

He saw with his own eyes several apostles in black robes, using dozens of corpses as sacrifices, setting up a summoning circle, tearing open a crack in the void, from which hundreds of grotesque lemures, demons, and demons poured out. Demon viscount and demon marquis who are stronger than ordinary demons.

These monsters kill people on sight, and they also kill frost undead when they see them. At this moment, hundreds of battles between monsters and undead are going on at the same time.

Frost undead were constantly being defeated and disappeared into puffs of snowflakes.

There were also constant deaths of lemures and demon descendants, and their chests were dug open by the undead to dig out magic stones.

Roja could feel that the undead were getting stronger little by little through this small-scale “war”, and they were improving faster than before.

Especially those who are the leader monsters and have additional improvement bonuses, the speed of “upgrading” is a bit astonishing.

Maybe, this is an opportunity…

Roja took over a purple magic stone from an undead knight.

[Demon stone, recyclable, estimated at 20,000 silver coins]
