Chapter 176: Another Victory
Under Gu Xi's command, the black mist enveloping the Avatar of Death rushed out, and the Avatar of Death reappeared on the battlefield.
This time, the Avatar of Death was different from before. The Crystal Dust Storm was not included, and Dissolution Rays were installed in the eyes of the Avatar of Death.
At the same time, his bones were reinforced once, and his body was significantly larger.
Due to the Dragonbone Laboratory, the Dissolution Rays could be installed in pairs, with one in each eye, allowing for ten uses per side.
Now, the Avatar of Death's Dissolution Ray machine gun lived up to its name.
After releasing the Avatar of Death, Gu Xi decisively stuffed a magic potion into his mouth, replenishing some of his mana.
When he looked up, Gu Xi found something was wrong; the Avatar of Death was actively charging toward another wraith leader.
This wraith leader was a defensive type that Gu Xi had not seen much before. He held a ghost-faced shield that was taller than a normal person.
When he raised the shield, the ghost face would continuously mutter, and for some reason, Gu Xi felt an urge to rush up and beat him with the Cold Wind Staff.
Obviously, this ghost-faced shield had strong attributes.
Even the Avatar of Death was attracted to it.
Gu Xi also noticed that numerous strands of hair popped out from the top of the ghost-faced shield, each strand piercing the nearby wraiths.
This should be another function of the ghost-faced shield, dispersing the damage received to other soldiers.
They thought they had it figured out.
They couldn't let them change the Avatar of Death's attack direction.
With a thought, Gu Xi took out the Mind Lamp.
'Bewitching Mind!'
Gu Xi activated the skill on the Mind Lamp, but this time, Gu Xi didn't target any enemy present.
The target of Gu Xi's skill was the Avatar of Death.
The wraiths didn't expect Gu Xi to hypnotize his own subordinate. Before they could react, the Avatar of Death bypassed the wraith leader with the ghost-faced shield and pounced on the last wraith monk.
When the Avatar of Death rushed out, the wraith monk was actually prepared for defense.
But with the ghost-faced shield raised, the wraith monk was relieved. As a companion, he knew well the wraith leader's provocation and defense abilities.
He knew that with his companion in front, he didn't need to worry about being attacked.
But he never expected Gu Xi to play by unconventional rules.
Hypnotizing his own subordinate—what was that about?
The hypnotized Avatar of Death ignored the wraith leader's provocation and directly pounced on the wraith monk.
At this moment, the wraith monk wanted to defend again, but it was too late. The Avatar of Death reached the monk, and both eyes shot Dissolution Rays, precisely hitting the wraith monk.
The power of the Avatar of Death's Dissolution Rays wasn't strong, but it depended on what it was compared to.
Compared to the Death Dragon's Breath, the Dissolution Rays' power wasn't much.
But compared to general attack methods, the power was significant.
Moreover, the two skeleton priests that Gu Xi had just summoned were still active, enhancing the Avatar of Death with their attributes.
Two Dissolution Rays shot out, and the wraith monk's body was half-dissolved, leaving only the left half standing.
After killing the wraith monk, the Avatar of Death didn't stop. He lunged forward again, reaching the rear of the wraith forces.
The wraith leader with the ghost-faced shield turned to look at the Avatar of Death, feeling locked onto by him.
Now, he had to be tough, or the squad would fall apart.
But this wraith leader was somewhat foolish.
He focused all his attention on the Avatar of Death, failing to notice Gu Xi preparing his next move.
"Corpse Explosion is forbidden, but Summon Undead should be fine. Summon Undead!"
[You successfully used Summon Undead, gaining a zombie (Level 0), Summon Undead experience 1 point.]
[You failed to use Summon Undead, gaining Summon Undead experience 1 point.]
[You successfully used Summon Undead, gaining a skeleton (Level 0), Summon Undead experience 1 point.]
[...]
Gu Xi pointed at the feet of the wraith leader, and numerous zombies and skeletons quickly crawled up.
As soon as they emerged, they pounced on the wraith leader.
After all, their purpose was to disrupt the wraith leader's actions. As the undead swarmed him, his movements began to distort.
Several zombies didn't even stand up, just dragging at his feet, pulling the wraith leader down to the ground.
Seeing this, the nearby wraiths couldn't care about anything else and rushed to rescue their leader.
But as they rushed over, the Avatar of Death had already flown above them.
Death Dragon's Breath combined with Dissolution Rays, which could extend the duration of the Death Dragon's Breath, were shot simultaneously.
Green rays carrying painful wails fell among the wraiths.
All the wraiths attacking the wraith leader were affected by the Death Dragon's Breath.
At most, they could withstand two encounters.
The wraith leader still wanted to raise the ghost-faced shield, but a zombie firmly held it down.
Unable to raise the shield, he was directly hit in the face by the Death Dragon's Breath.
Under the gray-green light, the wraith leader only lasted seven or eight seconds before dying on the spot.
As the Avatar of Death's Death Dragon's Breath sprayed out from behind, Gu Xi also stopped casting spells.
There was no need for Gu Xi to act anymore.
Several undead leaders took the command initiative, especially the skeleton leader of Combat Squad 1, who rushed to the front with a spear.
Behind him were 88 skeleton soldiers, followed by skeletons and zombies who had learned spear techniques with him.
They had formed a battle formation, their steps identical.
Each step seemed measured with a ruler, the distance, force, and angle of their attacks uniform as if from a mold.
The only difference might be their attack strength.
But for the undead, that was the least important; with dozens of spears thrusting, no one could tell which would hit the enemy's vital spot.
As long as they brought the enemy down, nothing else mattered.
Facing such an attack, the wraiths made their last counterattack.
But the advantage was no longer theirs. In an equal number battle, order easily triumphed over chaos.
When the Avatar of Death killed an 11th-level wraith, all the wraiths present were eliminated.
Simultaneously, the token under the protection of the city gate lit up.
