Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone
Chapter 807 - 515: Heaven-Burning Fury, Monumental Achievements, Young Heroes!
His gaze withdrew from the high skies and he looked at the already broken and nearly collapsed high tower, then at Fang Zhou, who was stationed at the underground passage, surrounded by blood-soaked undead summoned creatures, yet himself spotless.
Nodding towards Fang Zhou, the golden powerhouse from Beast Fighting City rode his celestial steed straight over.
Fang Zhou looked up at the Golden Major General flying in from outside.
Clad in heavy armor and wielding a crimson long spear, coupled with his luminous celestial steed underneath, it was clear at a glance that he’s from the very rare [Celestial Knight] profession.
Fang Zhou recalled that the aura and strength of this Golden Major General somewhat resembled Instructor Lu Hu, but their qualities and presence were distinctly different.
This Golden Major General was older, with a heavier presence and a harmonious aura.
Compared to Lu Hu’s sharp edge, this Golden Major General appeared more refined and friendly.
Fang Zhou had also been hanging around Beast Fighting City for almost half a year, and with a little recall, he figured out the identity of the other party.
At this moment, the knight proactively saluted Fang Zhou and said, "Lieutenant Fang Zhou, I am Yang Boyue, the military commander of Beast Fighting City, a Golden Upper Rank Celestial Knight.
We owe this time to you."
Yang Boyue did not exert any pressure of a powerful figure on Fang Zhou, his eyes were warm, scanning Fang Zhou up and down.
The young mage before him, although his mana fluctuations were barely visible, his overall presence was as deep and unfathomable as a black hole.
Despite the incredibly fierce blood battles, surrounded by scattered corpses and scattered remnants of demons and undead, the Dusk Robe on him was not tainted with any dirt.
But this was merely external.
Yang Boyue, reliant on his celestial steed’s light perception ability, could perceive the aura left by the fierce evil spirit’s soul body on Fang Zhou.
"That undead demon champion has already been defeated by our side’s legendary powerhouse.
Even if it’s not dead, it’s been inflicted with irreparable heavy damage.
Its will can no longer affect the power soul body within you.
With time passing, this soul body will gradually fall into slumber and even dissipate without energy replenishment."
Yang Boyue said, his voice smooth, his tone caring.
But then, he furrowed his brows slightly:
"But this soul body, after all, involves the demon champion’s power.
Though very rare, normally speaking, it’s not something within your grasp, and will likely pose a threat to you."
But just then, sensing something, his knitted brows relaxed, revealing a look of surprise.
"Lieutenant Fang Zhou, your undead mana seems to be rather special...
Hmm? You can even suppress the power involving the demon champion.
This is the first time I’ve seen such a situation,
Haha, the young ones are indeed becoming more formidable."
Listening to Major General Yang Boyue’s words, just as he said, when that legendary fireball appeared, the fierce evil spirit suppressed by Fang Zhou could no longer receive support from the undead demon champion’s power.
With that weakened, it gradually stops struggling, entering a state akin to slumber.
After the evil spirit was completely repressed, Fang Zhou no longer needed to infuse energy into the Soul-Binding Gemstone, the last bit of burden lifted.
"Major General Yang, rest assured.
I’m not going to rashly explore this fierce evil spirit clone possessing Glory Champion power.
I’ll temporarily seal it, and after I return to Sea City Military Academy, I’ll hand it over to our Undead Mage research group’s Master Sandro.
He’s a Golden Upper Rank Great Undead Mage.
This fierce evil spirit won’t make any waves."
Yang Boyue smiled slightly, saying, "That would be best.
With Master Sandro, a Golden Tier Great Undead Mage, overseeing things, of course it’s safe.
I’m really looking forward to what kind of research outcomes you all can achieve."
Fang Zhou thought about it then turned around to look at the fully mended skies, somewhat curiously asking, "Major General Yang, just now, which powerhouse from our Longxia made a move?"
Thinking of the legendary fireball that roared in from the horizon, even Yang Boyue couldn’t help but show a longing expression.
He said, "Just now, it was [Heaven-Burning Fury] Admiral Zhu Rong, our just-promoted Legendary King’s Crown from the Longxia Federation, who acted.
Under the legends, all are ants.
Having grasped his attribute rules and successfully raised the Legendary King’s Crown, even the three demon champions just now couldn’t make the slightest resistance."
"Admiral Zhu Rong?"
Fang Zhou hadn’t heard of this Legendary King’s Crown’s name before.
Yang Boyue smiled: "Previously, this was one of our Longxia Military’s secrets.
After all, a Legendary King’s Crown is enough to alter the balance of enemy forces in a local battlefield.
Under surprise, it can also inflict devastating damage on the enemy."
Yang Boyue spoke so clearly, Fang Zhou naturally understood.
He laughed and said, "Seems like this bold declaration of battle is from Admiral Zhu Rong following his successful promotion."
Yang Boyue nodded, saying, "Indeed.
The military originally intended for Admiral Zhu Rong to make a move on the battlefield of Calamity Sun Demon Country, using the advantage of numbers to inflict heavy damage on the enemy’s legendary powerhouses, thus breaking the stalemate and acquiring strategic initiative.
Unfortunately, the demon descendants on the Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield have suffered many such setbacks, they are very cautious, probabilities for success were indeed slim.
Just happened to encounter the demons’ retaliatory action on our Beast Fighting City, with three fearless demon champions daring to come this close to our World Barrier, even attempting a Demon Descent ritual.
Simply becoming the offerings delivered to our doorsteps."
Fang Zhou thoughtfully rubbed his chin.
"These three demon champions surely aren’t fools, they must have a Legendary Demon Lord backing them up."
"Indeed, this is precisely Admiral Zhu Rong’s strategic surprise in play.
The enemy’s Legendary Demon Lord, no matter how strong, couldn’t predict our sudden addition of a Legendary King’s Crown.
Just given an opportunity for Admiral Zhu Rong to strike, these three demon champions are doomed."
Fang Zhou expressed admiration.
"A Legendary King’s Crown is truly extraordinarily powerful!
The demise of three demon champions with different attributes, even for Abyssal Demons, is surely a huge loss."
Yang Boyue nodded affirmatively: "Certainly,
These demon champions have received Abyssal Blessings as Demon Marquis.
Even on the Mythical World’s frontline, they are priceless high-level combat forces.
Losing three at once on this small battlefield is an unacceptable loss for any Legendary Demon Lord.
And for us, a morale-boosting great victory.
Speaking of it, Lieutenant Fang Zhou, you have a share in this success, and I will request a military commendation for you from the Longxia Military Department."
Fang Zhou was slightly stunned, then waved his hands humbly, saying, "Major General Yang, you overestimate me, the success of this mission was obviously due to Admiral Zhu Rong’s precise strike, along with your upfront command contributions.
I dare not claim credit."
"Our Longxia Federation Military Department has always been clear in rewarding and punishing, never stingy in rewarding meritorious ones.
Success is success, fault is fault.
You alone not only successfully blocked all of the demons in the entire high tower base, preventing them from stepping out of the Prism Space.
The key is also successfully dragging the power projection of the three major demon champions, creating favorable conditions for Admiral Zhu Rong’s distant attack and successful strike.
This is merit!
And our Beast Fighting City Military Department didn’t anticipate the enemy would have Demon Descent as a backup, almost letting those demons succeed.
If these three demon champions achieved Demon Descent, they could at least consolidate a Golden Level demon clone, which would have caused huge trouble.
This was our oversight."
As Yang Boyue was in conversation with Fang Zhou, other soldiers from Beast Fighting City had already destroyed the underground demon teleportation gate, then arrived at the passage entrance, intending to report the battlefield situation to Yang Boyue.
Yang Boyue turned to look at the warriors and said, "Let’s move to other places, let our hero rest for a while."
He left with the soldiers, with the order from headquarters naturally ensuring no one would disturb Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou leaned on Tiamat, letting Vigus perch on his head gently massaging, slowly recovering his physical and mental state.
