Chapter 570: A Coincidental Summoning (2/2)
The arcane skills used by the Undead Corps became a deadly net. However, due to the absolute number advantage of the skeleton warriors, there would always be a few leaks.
Just the leaks alone were able to exhaust some of the undead arcane masters.
Although the mortality ratio was overwhelmingly in favour of the undead arcane masters, at a rate of about a hundred skeleton warriors to every undead arcane master, there was an endless tide of skeleton warriors. Their numbers reached several tens of thousands.
The undead arcane masters were still at full strength. Once they spent their arcane particles, the mortality ratio would only get worse once they had to fight in a melee.
“You understand it now?” Belo snorted.
Meraly turned around and saw Belo push up his spectacles with a cold gaze, “By then, the Skeleton Army will still have about two hundred to three hundred thousand, or maybe just fifty to sixty thousand, there’s no difference. Because in the end, the Fearotz Stronghold will be lost. As a result, the demihuman-plus-monster army which is a greater threat can cross through and join the war. Meanwhile, that Evil Dragon follower who used the ‘Evil Spirit Resurrection Gate’ can very well use it again somewhere else. He will be able to build another terrifying Skeleton Army.”
Meraly could not say anything, her eyes turning red.
“Look at you, you flattered the wrong person. He’s the hardest to talk to, even I don’t talk to him much.” Stingham gloated, “I told you to leave early. Even perverts like Ayrin and Belo can’t do anything about the Skeleton Army. What use do you have? Are you going to fight using that arcane skill of yours to summon cats and dogs?”
“Chris, Moss and Belo can still fight...... Let’s not waste time and rest. I don’t know how many days we can sustain here......”
Ayrin frowned and started calculating in his heart.
“Belo, is it the stronger you are, the more undead arcane masters you can control?” Ferguillo plainly asked at that moment.
Belo nodded.
“If we want to stop a Skeleton Army of this size, we need at least five to six times the number of undead arcane masters you control now. If you can control over ten thousand undead arcane masters, the ‘Evil Spirit Resurrection Gate’ will be useless. The production rate will be slower than the extermination rate.” Ferguillo spoke in a serious tone, “Then, that Evil Dragon artifact will be completely oppressed by you and lose its effect.”
Belo snorted, “For that I would need at least six arcane gates.”
Mody lightly sighed.
Belo being able to use this ability was already beyond their expectations. It was equivalent to gaining an extra Corps. However, Belo was too far away from opening six arcane gates.
Whoosh!
At that moment, countless golden rays suddenly shot out from next to them and lighted up the area.
Everyone turned around and saw Meraly holding up her Golden Holy Sword with an extremely ashamed expression.
Ayrin and the others were already used to such a scene. She had been chasing after Stingham with her Golden Holy Sword before, so they did not pay much attention.
“What’s happening?”
However, after a few minutes, there seemed to be a disturbance amongst the vast Skeleton Army.
Countless crittering sounds gradually became clear and loud.
“Dark Goddess Sight!”
Ayrin instinctively used this arcane skill to improve his sight, yet he could not see it clearly.
After another dozen or so minutes, everyone drew a sharp breath.
They could clearly see large patches of skeleton warriors collapsing!
It seemed as if there was a terrifying plague spreading throughout the Skeleton Army!
Countless golden dots could vaguely be seen within the black tide of the Skeleton Army.
Everyone turned around to look at Meraly and asked in astonishment, “What did you do?”
“I......”
Meraly also seemed unable to grasp the situation.
“Rats! So many rats!” Ayrin shouted out. He finally saw it. There were countless rabbit-sized rats with golden light dots on their foreheads. The rats were desperately gnawing on the skeleton warriors. As they gnawed, the bones shattered and skeleton warriors collapsed one after another.
“Metal Devouring Rats!”
“Holy Light Summon!”
“There is actually such a large population of Metal Devouring Rats in this swamp!”
“Meraly’s Holy Light Summon...... Coincidentally, there is such an astonishing Metal Devouring Rat population!”
Everyone realized what happened.
“......” Stingham was completely dumbfounded.
He was mocking Meraly as the most useless one and saying her summoning skill was a joke.
“......”
Meraly herself was also completely dumbfounded.
Because of Belo’s attitude and Stingham’s sarcasm, she merely used the Holy Light Summon out of spite.
Her Golden Holy Armor was already destroyed, so she could only use her Golden Holy Sword to summon it. It was weakened, but...... coincidentally, there was such an astonishing Metal Devouring Rat population in the swamp!
Yeah...... Rat species do prefer to live in a swamp!
Ayrin shouted excitedly, “This...... is incredible!”
It was clear to see the fall of the Skeleton Army under the pincer attack by the Undead Corps and Metal Devouring Rats!
