Chapter 180: Chapter 89: First Fight with Wraith_2

Three skeletons wobbled in the wilderness. The skeletons looked unstable even while walking, their bones devoid of lustre, and faint glimmers of light flickered in their eye sockets. They also had no weapons.

"It’s my turn," Long Dangdang said in a deep voice, tapping his toe, and with the added help of the levitation technique, he suddenly sped up, charging in the direction of the skeletons.

Long Kongkong glanced around, his shield in his hand protecting Ling Menglu next to him. Ling Menglu raised her magic staff, and a Light of Blessing fell on Long Dangdang, enhancing his own attributes.

The three skeletons seemed to only notice Long Dangdang’s presence when he came within a twenty-meter range. They turned their heads in his direction at the same time. The previously dim surface of their bones suddenly shone a faint white light, and their bodies no longer wobbled. They quickly accelerated and charged towards Long Dangdang.

The Inaugural Silver Waves Magic suddenly shone brightly, bursting forth with dazzling white light—the Pure White Blade!

A few pure white arcs of light flashed through the air, and in the blink of an eye, the bodies of the three skeletons were dismembered and shattered into small pieces that scattered on the ground.

Long Dangdang felt a bit, guessing that the strength of these skeletons was probably on par with the demon tribe’s green dual blades demon. As for their attacks, they hadn’t had chance to let him experience it yet.

However, after the skeletons had been shattered to the ground, a bizarre scene started to happen. Those broken bones didn’t rest but came together, glowing with intense white light, resembling living beings.

In order to better understand the characteristics of these skeletons, Long Dangdang did not stop them, but just stood still watching. With each piece of bone coming into contact, these bones quickly reformed into a skeletal framework. The original three skeletons had now come together to form a single entity, which was twice the size of the previous individual skeletons. Their structure was denser, and the right hand was holding a bone stick, seemingly a femur. The glow of its body was noticeably stronger, but the light in its eyes remained faint.

The bone stick swung down at Long Dangdang with increased speed and power.

"Kongkong, come," Long Dangdang said as he flickered and quickly retreated. After he felt that the skeleton was not too dangerous, he called his brother.

Long Kongkong naturally understood what he wanted. Holding his Rising Spiritual Power Shield up, he quickly stepped forward. At the same time, the Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace set in his chest shimmered, instantly locking onto the skeleton. The tall skeleton took big strides towards him.

Long Kongkong performed a Slide Step, an important knight’s skill, and charged.

"Boom!" The bone stick hit the Rising Spiritual Power Shield with a muffled sound. Just then, the devouring domain of Long Kongkong’s Empty Vortex Spirit Furnace activated. A faint black halo appeared on his chest, making the skeleton stiffen. Its movements immediately slowed down, and even swinging the bone stick became hard for it.

The strength of an ordinary skeleton was similar to that of a 1st Rank professionist. The combined skeleton only appeared as powerful as a 2nd Rank professionist.

Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu both stared closely at the changes on the skeleton body. Soon, their faces lit up with delight.

The white light of the bones on the skeleton gradually dimmed, then darkened, and finally turned gray in the end. When the light in its eye sockets disappeared completely, the entire skeleton could no longer support itself and collapsed into pieces with a clatter, falling to the ground and shattering into fragments of bones.

Long Kongkong only sensed a slight warmth from the merit medal around his neck, but then it returned to normal.

Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu came to his side. "How do you feel?"

Long Kongkong thought for a moment, then said, "There’s a weak light element alongside a type of energy I’ve never seen before, which should be related to the attributes of the undead themselves." He paused for a moment before turning to his brother and cousin, his expression a bit strange as he said, "There’s also spiritual power."

Long Dangdang hesitated slightly, "Are you saying, you devoured spiritual power from it? Can you even devour that?"

Long Kongkong nodded, "It’s very weak, but I’m sure of it. It replenishes a little of my spiritual power."

Ling Menglu thoughtfully said, "The devouring process takes about fifteen seconds. That’s a bit slow. If there are a large number of undead creatures or higher-ranked undead, this speed might not be very useful. Kongkong, the next time you encounter an enemy, try upgrading through the Divine Prayers Small Tree Spirit Furnace to create the Celestial Abyss Domain, and see if the effect is better."

"Alright."

As it turns out, their initial hypothesis was correct. Just as Small Tree had said, the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace really does have the ability to devour the energy of the undead, completely killing them and preventing their resurrection. Because wraith energy is also a type of energy, the Elemental Vortex has the property of Different Means, Same Goal. However, it takes fifteen seconds to deal with a 2nd Rank wraith, which is indeed a bit slow. But this is a good start, after all, Long Kongkong’s strength isn’t that great for now. When he becomes stronger in the future, the effect of the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace will be stronger, and it will certainly serve a greater purpose.

"Let’s move on. Kongkong, you directly devour it, this should save us some time." Ling Menglu said.

Indeed, if Long Kongkong starts off by displaying the devouring domain, then three 1st Rank skeletons wouldn’t even have the possibility of conjoining later on.

Long Kongkong immediately raised his head and puffed his chest, somewhat proudly saying, "I didn’t think I’d become the main attacker one day. Long Dangdang, do you approve?"

Long Dangdang smiled at him. Seeing this smile, Long Kongkong immediately wilted, quickly saying, "Let’s go, time is of the essence."

Finding undead creatures in this area is not a difficult task, with wind specialty magic for scouting, they quickly found low-level undead. Relatively speaking, zombies are more difficult to deal with than skeletons because they are probably at the level of a 2nd Rank professionist. The key is that their skin is tough and their defense power is much greater than skeletons; they are fearless and feel no pain.

But for these low-level undead, the difficult part lies in truly killing them. For other professionists, it takes completely dismembering them to kill, but it’s much easier with Long Kongkong. Once Long Kongkong fully opens his devouring domain, he can cover a distance of about ten meters in diameter. Within this range, it’s extremely difficult for wraiths of the 2nd Rank and under to even move. After standing still for a while, their wraith energy gets devoured completely and they fall to the ground and disintegrate into ash.

Therefore, all Long Dangdang has to do is herd the undead towards Long Kongkong, who could truly kill them through his devouring domain. Including the search, they completed the first task in half an hour since their arrival in this area – successfully exterminating thirty undead creatures. Of course, Kongkong was the one killing most of these undead through his devouring domain.

They return to the camp to submit their tasks.

However, just as they arrived at the camp, they see that Zisang Liuying’s squad of four had already come and gone, clearly one step ahead of them.

Undoubtedly, the magic’s ability to obliterate corpses is equally impressive, an exploding fireball serves the same purpose.

Without even greeting them, Zisang Liuying’s squad embarked on their next mission.

A few minutes later, Long Dangdang and his crew also received their second mission after arriving here – they were to venture thirty miles into the same direction and kill five 3rd Rank undead creatures. The difficulty level of their mission had increased.
