Diablo traveled through time and became a necromancer

Chapter 292: Unexpectedly Many Enemies

The dense, drum-like crash was deafening! The ground trembled slightly! Icicles mercilessly slammed down upon the zombie horde and several Dusk Spirits! Zombies directly hit exploded like watermelons struck by a sledgehammer, sending frozen, rotten flesh and broken bones scattering everywhere!

Those not directly struck were also staggered by the terrifying shockwave, their bodies instantly coated in a thick, iron-hard layer of ice, their movements reduced to slow motion! Several twilight spirits, phantoms, violently twisted and undulated under the combined force of the freezing storm and physical impact, emitting piercing screams so sharp they threatened to pierce the eardrums! The arcs of electricity dancing at their cores became extremely unstable, and the newly condensed lightning was abruptly interrupted and dispersed! The blizzard not only caused massive area damage but also completely disrupted their attack rhythm!

Vera's eyes flashed with cold light! She knew these electric ghosts were extremely resistant to lightning damage, perhaps even immune, so her strongest lightning skills were useless at this moment! But that didn't stop her from becoming the most deadly hunter! She zeroed in on a Dusk Soul, its form wobbling violently from the blizzard, and with a sudden push of her foot, she shot out like a cheetah hunting its prey! The javelin in her hand was no longer a throwing weapon, but a deadly spear!

"Die!" A cold shout! Explosion!

The javelin transformed into a flash of cold light, nearly imperceptible to the naked eye, piercing the core of the Dusk Spirit's phantom with uncanny precision! The powerful physical penetrating force of the spear tip, combined with the Amazon warrior's terrifying arm strength, instantly ripped through the seemingly insubstantial structure! The Dusk Spirit let out a sharp, abrupt scream, and the entire phantom, like a popped bubble, dissipated into a wisp of green smoke and completely dissipated into the icy air!

Vera kept moving! Her figure darted like a ghost between the falling ice cones! Her javelin transformed into deadly bolts of lightning! Each thrust targeted the core weakness of another electric ghost! Her movements were smooth, precise, and deadly, bringing the Amazon warrior's close combat skills to the extreme! Every javelin thrust was accompanied by the electric ghost's shrill scream and utter annihilation!

Skeleton Brother rushed down the mountain like a tiger, charging into the zombie horde slowed by the blizzard and weakened by the damage-increasing curse! The huge skeleton sword was as light as a feather in his hand! "Armor-piercing blow!"

A dark blue light surged from the sword's edge, sweeping out with the power to crush everything in its path! "Crack! Puff!" Wherever the sword passed, the decayed bodies of the zombies were easily severed and shattered like snow under the scorching sun! Black blood, yellow-green pus, and shattered bone fragments splattered everywhere! Its movements were as swift as thunder and as precise as a scalpel. Every swing was powerful and devastating, and the greatsword of bones unleashed a bloody storm among the zombies!

The High Priest of Holy Light floated in the air, waving his little hands quickly: "Holy Light protection! Honor blessing!" Two dazzling golden beams of light fell from the sky, covering Vera and Skeleton Brother respectively!

Vera felt a surge of power surge through her limbs, her muscles tensing, and the speed and force of her javelin thrusts skyrocketed! The dark blue soul fire on Brother Skeleton's greatsword seemed to be coated with a layer of sacred gold, and the power of his armor-piercing attack was multiplied!

At the same time, a circle of soft and tough holy light shield, like an eggshell, firmly protected Leah and Wu Ye, isolating them from the corpse poison in the air, the floating spider silk fragments, and the ice chips splashed by the ice storm.

"Sister Leah! Be careful on the right! There are bad things!" The high priest suddenly screamed with a hint of panic!

The dense, spiderweb-covered bushes on the right were suddenly pushed aside by a brute force! Branches and leaves flew everywhere! Several monsters, half a human's height, covered in thick, dark green scales, with sturdy limbs and enormous webbed feet, leaped out! Their bulging cheeks suddenly contracted like bellows, and several dark green, sticky water arrows, emitting a strong, sour smell, erupted like high-pressure water guns, aimed directly at Leah, who was trying her best to maintain the blizzard!

"Ice Wall!" Leah reacted with lightning speed, her staff pointing to the right almost as the words rang out! As she chanted rapidly, a half-meter-thick, icy wall of ice, emitting a chilling chill, instantly rose from the ground beside her, like the most loyal of guardians! (After a certain level of understanding of elemental magic, one can change the form of the element, but the effect may not be fixed.)

"Chichichichi——!"

Dark green, acidic water arrows slammed fiercely into the ice wall! The intense corrosion sound was terrifying! The solid ice wall corroded, melted, and thinned at a visible speed, emitting acrid white smoke! The ice wall shook violently, and its surface quickly became pitted!

Vera's eyes flashed cold, and she abandoned her pursuit of the remaining electric ghosts without hesitation! With a flick of her wrist, three javelins, each with its tail wrapped in a strange green mist, instantly appeared in her hands! "Poison spear rip!" She shouted softly, and the javelins shot out in a triangular formation, like three poisonous snakes, piercing the swollen abdomens of the three swamp dwellers with uncanny precision! The javelins' potent neurotoxin spread instantly!

The swamp dweller who was hit let out a painful "quack" cry, and his movements became visibly stiff and slow, even his swollen cheeks twitched, and he was temporarily unable to spray venom again!

Skeleton Brother also noticed the flanking threat! With a sweep of its greatsword, it severed the two zombies in front of it, scattering blood and viscera all over the ground! Its tall skeleton suddenly turned, and the huge bone sword, with immense force, like a giant axe splitting the mountain, directly chopped down a swamp dweller who was about to puff out his cheeks again!

"Puff!" A muffled sound! A flash of sword light passed, and the huge frog head soared into the sky with a look of astonishment! The headless corpse twitched and fell to the ground, dark green blood spurting out!

"Brother Wu! There are too many enemies!" Leah's voice was clearly filled with fatigue and panting. Maintaining such a large-scale, high-intensity blizzard had taken a staggering toll on her mental and magical power.

Her face was pale, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and the hand holding her staff trembled slightly. The scope of the blizzard began to shrink, and the frequency of the falling icicles also decreased slightly.

Wu Ye's eyes were sharp as a hawk's. He calmly surveyed the battlefield, undeterred by the chaos before him. Though numerous, the zombies posed a limited threat under the combined pressure of the blizzard and the increasing damage. The remaining electric ghosts were dispatched with precision by Vera, and the swamp dwellers were temporarily suppressed. The greatest threat lay hidden within the web dome, the spider itself (which had yet to be revealed), constantly spewing corrosive venom and weaving sticky webs. And... His cold gaze swept over several monstrous trees at the edge of the battlefield, their branches twisted like ferocious ghost claws!

The bark of those trees was a bottomless purple-brown, covered in deep wrinkles and disgusting, warty protrusions, like the skin of a shrunken python. In the shadows of the darkest roots of the tree trunks, several deep purple vines, as thick as an adult's thigh and like awakening giant pythons, were slowly and silently wriggling and extending!

The surface of the vine is covered with a cuticle similar to tree bark, but it is rougher and covered with sharp thorns. The top of the vine is not a leaf or a flower, but a wooden spike as sharp as a poisoned spear, gleaming with a cold metallic light!

Like the most insidious assassins, they silently extended towards the most intense fighting area, aiming directly at Leah who was casting a spell and Wu Ye who was commanding them—the Thornwood Demon! The most feared plant-based demon in the Kurast rainforest!

"Vera! Leah! Prioritize eliminating the remaining swamp dwellers and electric ghosts! Leave no one behind!" Wu Ye's voice was steady and powerful, instantly suppressing the clamor of the battlefield. "Brother Skeleton! Command all the skeleton warriors to form a shield wall and stop the zombie torrent at all costs! High Priest! Maintain the Holy Light Shield with all your strength to protect Leah!"

"Understood!" Vera responded like thunder, and the javelin turned into a deadly cold star, covering the remaining swamp residents and the last two injured electric ghosts!

"I... will try my best!" Leah gritted her teeth and squeezed out the little mana left in her body. Then she drank a bottle of mana potion to maintain the blizzard magic circle! The frequency of the falling icicles increased again!

Skeleton Brother raised his enormous skeleton sword high above his head, and the dark blue soul fire instantly became as blazing as the sun! It communicated directly with all the skeletons in their consciousness!

This is the highest order to hold on, defend, and not retreat! All the skeleton warriors, whether they are holding swords and shields or holding long-handled weapons, immediately started to work like the most sophisticated gears! They gave up the attack, quickly retracted, and stacked up the rusty shields layer by layer to form an airtight steel shield wall! The rusty blades poked out from the gaps in the shields, pointing at the surging zombies! Skeleton Brother himself, like a magic needle, took a step forward and stood at the forefront of this bone-white shield wall! The huge skeleton sword pointed obliquely at the ground, and the dark blue soul fire locked onto the surging tide of zombies! Any zombie trying to approach the shield wall will be instantly chopped into pieces by its giant sword containing the power to penetrate armor! It has become the forefront of the defense line and the most insurmountable barrier!

The High Priestess waved her tiny (bone-like) hands repeatedly, and the Holy Light Shield's light surged, like a solid golden eggshell, firmly protecting Leah and Wu Ye! At the same time, she pointed her tiny hand, and several Holy Light bullets emitting purifying power whizzed towards the small spiders that were poking their heads out of the spiderweb dome and trying to spit venom again, blasting them to pieces!

Wu Ye turned abruptly! He gripped the bone staff tightly in his right hand and pointed it like a sword at his nemesis, aiming it straight at the restless thorny wood demons! He took a deep breath, his chest seemingly swelling as he chanted an increasingly rapid, chaotic spell filled with madness and perversion: "Confusion!"

Om-!

An invisible and intangible force, yet capable of instantly plunging all creatures that sensed it into a frenzy, bloodthirsty, chaotic mental fluctuation that blurred the distinction between friend and foe. Like an invisible tsunami, it suddenly erupted from the tip of his staff, sweeping across! This force precisely struck the thorny wood demons!

The slowly moving, serpent-like thorns poised to deliver a fatal blow suddenly froze! Immediately afterwards, the sharp, gleaming wooden spikes at the vines began to swing wildly and erratically, whipping, twisting, and thrashing! They no longer pointed at their intended targets, but like mad pythons, they began violently colliding, tearing, and entwining each other! The sharp thorns carved deep grooves into their companions' tough vines, emitting a teeth-grinding "crunch" sound! Their minds (if they even had any) were completely affected by the Chaos Curse, and they fell into a frenzied, internecine slaughter!

"Now!" Wu Ye's eyes flashed with brilliance! His thoughts surged out like a flood! Over twenty towering elite skeleton warriors, wielding giant long-handled sickles or heavy double-edged battle axes, instantly formed from the void! The soul fire in their eye sockets was no longer a faint blue, but a violent scarlet! Their skeletons grew thicker, their weapons sharper!

"Skeleton Legion! Attack! Crush them!" Wu Ye's staff was like a battle flag, with an indomitable momentum, pointing fiercely at the thorny wood demons whose vines were dancing wildly and caught in an internal conflict!

"Roar--!"

The elite skeleton warriors' soul fire surged, and they let out a silent roar! Like a blazing white torrent, or like death knights returned from hell, they fearlessly rushed towards their targets! Their heavy footsteps crushed the rotten leaves and cracked the soil, carrying with them the momentum of destruction!

Vera's javelin was like a hurricane, nailing the last swamp dweller to the tree trunk and piercing the core of the last electric ghost!

Leah's blizzard is still raging, and ice cones are falling on the zombies, slowing down their impact!

Skeleton Brother's skeleton giant sword turned into a whirlwind of death, chopping any zombies that dared to approach the shield wall into pieces! The skeleton shield wall behind him made a dull "dong dong" sound under the crazy attack of the zombies, but it remained motionless!

The high priest's holy light shield shines brightly, blocking all stray arrows and splash damage!
