Diablo traveled through time and became a necromancer
Chapter 245: Fierce Battle with Magical Puppet
Wu Ye didn't even cast a single curse skill throughout the entire battle, as the battle unfolded and ended with unwavering ease. After a little over three minutes, the Eye of Fire was defeated by Xiaosha's onslaught. With a shrill wail, its body was ripped apart by an invisible force, exploding into a bloody mess. The splatter of blood dyed the surrounding air red, and a pungent smell of burning filled the air, heralding the victory.
Haili stood aside, hands clenched, her eyes filled with relief after the tension, and deep shock at the strength of Wu Ye and his skeleton warriors. She had never witnessed such a clean and efficient battle. Even when facing powerful monsters like Xiaosha, Wu Ye always found the most appropriate tactics, making the battle both efficient and safe.
With the fall of the Eye of Fire, the tightly closed door in the center of the room slowly opened, creaking with a dull, ancient creak as if propelled by an invisible force. A chilling aura emanated from the crack of the door, sending a chill through the air. Then, a figure draped in a massive cloak, seemingly made of some ancient fabric, emerged. Despite its vastness, the cloak could not conceal its immense size or peculiar form.
This magical puppet was their true target. Its body was composed of unknown metal and magical materials, its joints gleaming with a strange blue light. Blue magical lines slithered across its surface like a living being, emitting an unsettling wave. Its face, more like a shrunken, wrinkled human skin, clung tightly to its skeleton. Its eyes were hollow, yet seemed to pierce the deepest fears of the human heart.
"Is this the magic puppet that Horazon left behind?" Hailey asked in a low voice, her voice trembling. Although she hadn't seen many monsters, she was a little frightened when she saw the magic puppet that Horazon had made.
Wu Ye nodded, his eyes solemn. He knew full well that this puppet's strength far surpassed that of the previous monsters. Not only did it possess formidable physical defense and offensive power, but even more terrifyingly, it possessed the profound magic left behind by Horazon, capable of manipulating elemental forces and even summoning demons to its service. Defeating it would be no easy task.
"Prepare for battle, and prepare for the worst," Wu Ye said solemnly, summoning more skeleton warriors and placing them in various corners of the room to prevent any sudden attacks from the puppets. The high priest stood beside him, having bestowed his blessing of honor upon the skeletons and ready to unleash the power of Holy Light to support the team.
The magic puppet seemed to sense Wu Ye and the others' hostility. Its body, devoid of any human organs, unexpectedly emitted a low, hoarse roar, the sound echoing in the empty room, sending a chill down one's spine. Then, it took long strides, charging towards Wu Ye and the others. Each step seemed to tread on their hearts, causing their heartbeats to accelerate and their breathing to quicken.
The battle was imminent. Wu Ye quickly commanded the skeleton warriors to advance, engaging in a fierce clash with the puppet. However, the puppet's power far exceeded their imaginations, and even a powerful warrior like Skeleton Brother struggled under its attacks. Every collision with ordinary skeletons was accompanied by a crisp sound. It was unclear whether it had canceled the summons or directly shattered the skeletons. In any case, Wu Ye could no longer sense the presence of ordinary skeletons.
At this moment, the high priest suddenly let out a high-pitched chant. Its eyes gleamed with a holy light, and a powerful holy force surged from its body, instantly illuminating the entire room. Under the holy light, the puppet's movements became sluggish, as if bound by invisible shackles.
Wu Ye seized this opportunity and quickly cast a Damage Amplification spell, casting a red curse upon the puppet. While the curse was still in effect, Skeleton Brother and Xiaosha seized the opportunity to unleash their full might on the puppet. The puppet let out a shrill scream, its body twisting and deforming, and the blue magic patterns dimmed.
However, the puppet was crafted by Herasen himself, and its strength should not be underestimated. Even in such a dire situation, it stubbornly resisted the attacks of Wu Ye and the others. Two blue rays suddenly shone from its eyes. This was the magical mark left by Herasen taking effect, attempting to summon more demons to aid in the battle.
"We can't let it succeed!" Wu Ye shouted, commanding the skeleton warriors to attack the puppet even more fiercely. At the same time, he instructed the high priest to continue to unleash the power of holy light to weaken the puppet's magical power. Haili, on the other hand, unreservedly used her most proficient arcane magic, Arcane Torrent!
Arcane missiles like floating cannons rushed towards the magic puppet, and its health bar dropped rapidly under the siege of the crowd.
Under Wu Ye's command, the skeleton warriors coordinated in perfect harmony, continuously attacking the puppet. The High Priest's holy light surged like a tide, slowing the puppet's movements. Finally, thanks to the tireless efforts of Wu Ye and the others, the puppet's body collapsed, transforming into a pile of scrap metal and broken magical materials.
After the battle, Wu Ye and the others sat exhausted on the ground, breathing heavily. Although they had won, it had come at a heavy price. However, their hearts were filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment, for they knew they had successfully defeated the magical puppets left behind by Horazon and fulfilled King Jerhain's commission.
"Damn, this magic puppet is even more powerful than I thought. It's so small, but how can it be so resistant to blows?!?"
Wu Ye sat on the ground and poured mana potion into his mouth. After all, he had to keep his state full at all times to deal with the next danger. Who knows, there might be a second puppet?
"Master, did we finally win?"
Seeing Haley's weak appearance, Wu Ye knew that this girl must have overdrawn her magic power and was really too weak.
"Here, drink this."
Wu Ye handed her a bottle of full recovery potion and a bottle of physical strength potion.
Although it is impossible to completely restore the lost mental strength, it can still have a good recovery effect.
Haley took the recovery potion handed to her by Wu Ye and drank it in one breath. Then her pale face gradually regained its color and the tired look disappeared.
Seeing this, Wu Ye couldn't help but think of the time when he first crossed over and ran around with a skeleton looking for living people. Fortunately, he met Thor and the others at that time, otherwise he might have been cooked and eaten by the Fallen Demon!
