Chapter 387 Skull Mark (1/2)
After exploring for a while, Yang Ling found the technique of casting Roar of the Dead Souls.
Using Wizard Power as a base and Mental Energy as the guide, he could limit the direction or even the area of the skull's attacks. But, the more controlled the attack was, the more Wizard Power and Mental Energy he would expand.
Furthermore, he had accidentally discovered another type of attack by the Crystal Skull – Soul Assimilating Light Ray, two dark pillars of light fed from the skull's eyes like laser beams.
As long as they had been shot by the dark red pillar of light, the souls of ordinary Zombies and Mummies would immediately be destroyed, and they would fall over with a bang! Not to mention the small fries who were in the front lines. Even the Spirit Snake King and the Mummy Commander who were hiding behind the Undead Army were extremely concerned.
As long as their souls were not destroyed, the Undead would be able to crawl forward even if they had their legs cut off, attacking the human allied forces without fear of death. So even if the various factions were powerful and strong, they were unable to fend off the waves of Undead and were forced to retreat step by step. But, the great Soul Wizard Yang Ling was different. Every attack would directly harm the Undead's Souls. If they were not careful, their souls would get destroyed under his attack.
The Soul Assimilating Light Ray's power was astonishing, but unfortunately, compared to the Roar of the Dead Souls, it needed more Wizard Power and Mental Energy to cast. Even if he had leveled up to a high-level Divine Wizard, Yang Ling would be unable to continuously cast it. But, if he were use the Roar of the Dead Souls and Soul Assimilating Light Ray alternately, the blow to the Undead would be even more stunning and shocking.
Different from the ordinary Undead, the Zombies, Spirit Snakes and Mummies in the Underground Tomb all had their own souls. Even though they were unable to resist the commands of the Commander, but they all had a certain level of consciousness. Especially the various leaders. Once they saw Yang Ling's skull aim in their direction, they immediately panicked, instinctively moving backward.
The Roar of the Dead Souls was for mass area attacks, along with the point attack of the Soul Assimilating Light Ray, which made Yang Ling truly a nemesis of the Undead!
”Brothers, hold on, hold on!”
”Kill, kill these fellows!”
…
After getting Yang Ling's help, the various powerful factions got a great boost in morale, and ferociously attacked the charging Undead, and even launching a counter-attack at some parts.
Yang Ling, who was sitting high up on the Wizard Platform, could see the whole battlefield at one glance. Wherever there was the most Undead, he would use the Roar of the Dead Souls and Soul Assimilating Light Ray alternately in waves, ruthlessly pushing back the Undead's forward charge. After absorbing great amounts of souls and Death Energy, the color of the skull became redder and redder, and it became more and more powerful. According to the Stele, it was getting closer and closer to becoming an intermediate level Wizard Weapon.
”Hehe, you still want to capture me and bring me back to the Holy City for an interrogation. I'll see how you fellows die!”
After mastering how to use the Crystal Skull's Soul Attacks, Yang Ling smiled coldly while looking at the powerful and numerous people of the Church. He showed mercy and spared the Undead charging towards the Church, and focused his attacks on the Undead charging towards the rest of the factions.
But, to prevent from drawing attention to himself, he had no choice but to attack the Undead charging towards the Church once in a while. In fact, Yang Ling's bark was worse than his bite, and he did not kill or seriously wound many Undead. At most, he only killed a few small fries to keep up appearances. But it was different for the rest of the Undead charging at the other factions. For them, he would put in his best effort every time he attacked, focusing his attacks on the various leaders of the Undead Army.
After being attacked multiple times, the Undead Army felt the changes on the battlefield, and focused their attacks on the Church, attempting to make a breakthrough from that side. The Spirit Snake King and the Mummy Commander worked together to mobilize their troops, getting their most elite to attack the Church on the furthest right side ferociously.
Under the focused attack of the Undead Army, the Church very quickly felt unprecedented pressure!
The Undead surged like a wave, ferociously attacking their formation. The Church Knights suffered greatly from the heavily armored and venomous Zombies. If they were not careful and got infected with the Zombie Poison, they could only wait for death.
Even if they did not die at the hands of the Zombies, they would be killed by their own Pastors, who were with the army, in the name of purification to prevent them from turning into the evil Zombies. Even though the Church Templars holding the lines were extremely powerful and strong, they were unable to rescue each and every one of the Knights who were infected by the Zombie Poison.
The Mummies wrapped in layer after layer of bandages moved slowly but were extremely strong. The corpse bandages on their bodies were incomparably smelly. After smelling it, one would get giddy and light-headed. It was more terrifying than the Zombie's Zombie Poison. If they were to get a hold of one at close range, it would be an absolute nightmare.
On the other hand, different from the Zombies and Mummies, the Spirit Snakes moved fast, often hiding behind the Zombies or Mummies, and waited for them to get close before striking, catching the Church Knights off guard.
”Elder Brown, the soldiers are about to collapse. Can you…” Looking at the swarming, wave-like Undead Army, which were too many to kill, the Church Knights again turned to Elder Brown for help.
Looking at the Church Knights' Commander covered in blood, Elder Brown realized that the situation had already gone beyond his expectations and control. He had no choice but to send the Church Templars out to battle earlier than planned. After thinking silently for a while, he commanded in a grave tone, ”Odombra, lead your team to the charge. Be careful. Don't let the Zombies and Mummies get close to you!”
”Yes!”
