I observed this strange world. The sky was gray and covered with a thick layer of dark clouds. The ground was black soil and slightly damp. It was not too bright, but it was not too dark either. The visibility was similar to a cloudy day in the human world. There were many clumps of fog in the surroundings. They were of different sizes. In the distance, one could vaguely see the shadows of mountains and forests. This was the holy land of the Undead race, the place where the souls of the Necromancers stayed-the Undead Space.
It has only been two hours since I died, so I was teleported here by the old man. I still need to stay for another three hours before I can revive in the human world. The feeling here was different from that in the human world and the old man's palace. The appearance looked similar, but it seemed to be floating. It was much lighter than when it was in its physical form. This should be the so-called soul state.
Naturally, the Hell Skeleton Horse also followed me here. It wasn't so presumptuous in front of the old man, so it obediently stayed by my side. Once it arrived here, it immediately became much more lively. It couldn't stay idle even for a moment as it ran around. Fortunately, it still remembered me as its master and didn't leave too far away. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to make it in time if it wanted to help me when something happened. I thought about it for a moment. Seeing that it was quite naughty, it must be a troublemaker, so I simply named it "Tao Tao". I was still very democratic. I called it a few times to ask for its opinion. It did not object, so I took it as a tacit agreement.
Since the identity of the Necromancer had already been confirmed, it was useless to think so much. He could only look forward and think of ways to increase his strength. The most important thing for me in the " Dead Spirit Space " was to recruit as many undead as possible to sign soul contracts with me and join my undead army.
Just as I was thinking about this, a series of " crack, crack " sounds rang out. In the fog not far away, a shadow gradually appeared that kept swaying. I hurriedly called Tao Tao back to guard me and nervously watched the shadow gradually approach. I guessed what level this Undead creature would be while preparing to escape at any time. In this unknown Otherworld, who knew what kind of terrifying existence I would encounter. Life was the most important thing, and escaping was the most important thing. 5% of my MP loss was a huge loss!
A skeleton soldier walked out of the fog. It was about 1.7 meters tall, with a Rotten Bone Shield in its left hand and a Bone Breaking Blade in its right. Its body didn't seem to be complete, as it was missing a few ribs. It swayed three times and slowly walked towards me. My heart was hanging in midair. I didn't know how strong it was or if it would take the initiative to attack me. If it didn't attack me, should I capture it and make it the first sacrifice under my " soul contract "?
It was as if I didn't exist in the skeleton soldier's eye sockets at all. It walked past me as if I didn't exist. Looking at its back as it gradually disappeared, I couldn't hold it in any longer. My heart heated up, and I shot out a " Fire Scale Bomb ", accurately hitting the skeleton soldier's back. My first battle after becoming a Necromancer began just like that.
The skeleton soldier staggered and immediately steadied his body. He turned around and raised his bone knife as he rushed towards me. It was indeed the lowest level of magic and was not of much use. It seemed that this would be a tough and protracted battle!
I immediately shot out another " Fire Scale Bomb ", but I didn't expect it to fail. The more anxious I was, the less sweat I had. I quickly ordered Tao Tao to charge forward. Tao Tao, who was standing at the side, could not wait any longer. When he received the order, he suddenly rushed forward and kicked the Skeleton Soldier with his flying leg. In an instant, the Skeleton Soldier was kicked back two steps. It was indeed worthy of being a super pet specially gifted by Lord Death. It was indeed divine and brave.
Using this opportunity, I finally managed to fire two " Fire Scale Bullets ", hitting the skeleton soldiers. However, due to Tao Tao's inferior size and strength, he was knocked to the side by the skeleton soldiers 'blades. He took the opportunity to charge at me. Sigh, my poor Tao Tao, his level is still too low. A cub can't fight a wolf!
However, how could the skeleton soldiers still know how to fight? They knew the principle of capturing the leader first. They did not attack Taotao, who was so close to them, but insisted on coming to kill them. If they could not afford to offend them, could they not afford to hide? I turned around and ran, commanding Tao Tao to fight with it. I took the opportunity to turn around and shoot two " Fire Phosphorus Bombs " at it. Life was about movement, and we had to destroy the enemy in a mobile battle.
During the battle, I finally understood the principle of strength in numbers. The advantage of two against one was very obvious. Under the clear division of labor and tacit cooperation between me and Tao Tao, the skeleton soldiers 'movements were getting slower and slower, and their stamina was gradually exhausted. I slowed down my attacks. If I scattered it, I wouldn't be able to sign a soul contract. This was what the old man had warned me. It wasn't easy to defeat one. It would be a waste if it died.
I didn't want to put in too much effort to gain nothing. I mustered up my courage and risked being slashed by the skeleton soldier. I took advantage of the opportunity and quickly rushed forward. I drew a pentagram and pointed at the skeleton soldier's forehead. A ray of black light flashed past, as if an extremely weak stream of air had entered my body. I was delighted. It was a success. The bone blade that was about to cut my body suddenly stopped. The skeleton soldier paused for a moment, then slowly withdrew its blade and stood behind me. Tao Tao, who was about to pounce over, received my order and stopped attacking.
The success of the first battle greatly boosted my fighting spirit. I summarized my experience. Tao Tao was still too young, after all. The flames on his body were all phantoms, which looked good and could not cause any substantial damage. He could not unleash the strength that the Hell Skeleton Horse should have. He still had a long way to go before he could take charge of the area alone. I was a mage, so naturally, I couldn't engage in melee combat with the enemy. I could only execute long-range magic attacks, and it also involved the issue of the success rate of casting spells. I was destined to do more exercise and use guerrilla warfare to win. Thus, the best strategy would be for Comrade Tao Tao to be the main attacker and be responsible for tying down the enemy. I would use magic to harass the enemy and gradually deplete the enemy's strength. Finally, I would use the " Soul Contract " to carry out the final attack, subduing the enemy in one fell swoop and strengthening my undead army.
Since the strategy had been decided, the rest was easy to handle. The skeleton soldiers that had just been subdued had yet to recover their strength, so they were temporarily useless. I had them hide at the side to rest. They were just small skeleton soldiers. Tao Tao and I were enough to take them down.
Relying on sneak attacks from behind and following the strategy I had planned beforehand, I successfully subdued two more skeleton soldiers. Although it took some effort, their weak resistance didn't pose a threat to me at all. The consecutive successes made me more daring.
Another skeleton soldier walked towards me. I was already too lazy to circle around and attack it from behind. Time was precious. Time was limited. I had to seize every second. I immediately ordered Tao Tao to charge forward and launch an attack from the front. Since he was strong enough, there was no need to toy with him. I would just directly attack him.
However, I was shocked. Tao Tao was actually blocked by his opponent's shield and casually slashed by his sword. His strength was clearly much weaker than before. I didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly threw out a " Fire Scale Bomb " to help Tao Tao divert the enemy's attention. According to my experience, when Tao Tao and I attacked the same target together, the enemy would always abandon Tao Tao and charge towards me, as if they knew that I was the culprit.
As expected, the skeleton soldier left Tao Tao behind and charged straight at me. I tried my best to calm my mind and act according to the established strategy. However, because Tao Tao couldn't hold it back well, there was a huge loophole in my plan. It made it a lot harder for me to deal with it. As I dodged, I had already taken a few slashes.
Seeing that this wasn't a solution, if this continued, I would have to go see that damned old man. How could this be? I gritted my teeth and glared at the skeleton soldier that was fiercely charging at me. Damn it, since you're so aggressive and won't give me a way out, I'll fight it out with you. I didn't retreat, but instead charged towards the skeleton soldier, taking on its blade and shield. I pointed at its forehead. Success or failure depended on this move. If I didn't succeed, I would die.
The heavens were still looking out for me. They pitied me for having just escaped from the evil claws of the old man and could not bear to let me accept his torture again. Looking at the skeleton soldiers standing quietly at the side, I felt a wave of weakness. I had consumed too much mental strength in the battle just now. If I hadn't taken the risk to successfully cast the " Soul Contract " in the end, my losses would have been huge. Taotao was also waving its hooves restlessly at the side. It was eager to kick the skeleton soldier a few more times. It seemed that the few moves just now had made it suffer a lot. It wanted to take revenge!
I was puzzled. They were all skeleton soldiers, but why was this one so much stronger? After carefully sizing it up, I realized that this skeleton soldier was a little different from the previous ones. His skeleton was more balanced and complete, and his bones were slightly shiny. The bone shield was more complete and thicker. The bone blade was longer and seemed sharper. Were they still skeleton soldiers?
I opened the Encyclopedia of Undead Creatures and began to search carefully. This was what I got from the old man before I left. It was originally a reward for completing a mission, but now it was used to compensate me for my mental damage. I was cheated and tricked by him for a long time, which greatly damaged my pure heart. Humph, a good horse will be ridden by others, and a good person will be bullied by others. When dealing with people like the dead old man, you must not be soft-hearted. You must act when you need to.
I was wondering why something was wrong. It turned out that this was an upgraded version of the Skeleton Soldier-Skeleton Warrior. No wonder it was stronger. He had been careless and almost lost his boat in the gutter. He was still inexperienced. He should always remember that this was a battle of life and death. Only the strong could survive. He had to treat every battle with caution. He must not be careless and meddle in other people's business. Death wasn't scary, but meaningless death was still something that could be avoided!
