Diablo traveled through time and became a necromancer

Wu Ye's heart sank to the bottom, but despair was instantly replaced by determination. In this desperate situation, only by dividing and attacking can there be a glimmer of hope!

"Brother Skeleton! Entangle that lightning!" Wu Ye's thoughts were like a sharp knife, instantly piercing Brother Skeleton's soul fire! At the same time, he pointed his staff directly at the spider on the spiderweb platform above his head, which was emitting a decaying purple light. "Leave the Phantom Web Weaver to me! Leah! Vera! High Priest! Take care of that iron lump blocking the way! The rest of the skeletons! Hold off the miscellaneous soldiers!"

The order exploded like thunder in the chaotic battlefield!

"Gah!" A dark blue soul fire suddenly erupted from the hollow eye sockets of the Skeleton Brother! Its massive frame spun violently, its massive skeletal sword leaving a pale afterimage. Ignoring the surging spider tide ahead, it charged like an arrow, brazenly towards the silver lightning tearing through the air and hurtling towards Leah—the Compound Eye Tyrant, the Dark Gold Spider King!

The Compound Eye Tyrant moved with ghostly speed (exceptionally fast), its forelimbs swirling with blinding arcs of electricity (a ghostly strike) emitting a deathly scream as it approached Leah's back within three meters! But Skeleton Brother was even faster! Its silhouette seemed to blur as it launched, its armored limbs crushing the ground like a cannonball, arriving first!

clang--! ! ! !

The deafening sound of metal clashing echoed across the battlefield! The greatsword of the skeleton, with uncanny precision, crossed the charged forelimbs of the Compound Eye Tyrant, thrusting at Leah! Violent lightning energy coursed wildly along the blade, crackling with energy!

The immense force of the impact sent Skeleton Brother's massive frame sliding back half a step, his armored feet plowing deep grooves into the rotting leaves. But his bony hand gripping the sword was as steady as a rock, its dark blue soul fire surging violently under the illumination of lightning!

A flash of surprise flashed across the Compound Eye Tyrant's eight sapphire-like eyes, clearly having not expected this skeleton to intercept it so precisely! Its other forelimb, with a shrill, air-tearing scream, entwined with even more violent arcs of electricity, pierced directly into the Skeleton Brother's empty eye socket! Simultaneously, its mouth opened and closed, a cold suction force attempting to lock onto the Skeleton Brother's Soul Fire (Mana Burning)!

"Stupid! Let me suck it!"

Skeleton Bro cursed loudly, ignoring the mental pull (Skeleton Bro has no mana bar)! He swung his greatsword upwards, deflecting the charged forelimb that was stabbing at his eye socket. At the same time, he clenched his left fist, and with immense force, his armored fist smashed into the relatively vulnerable chest and abdomen of the Compound Eye Tyrant!

boom!

The bone fist slammed into the bright silver carapace with a dull thud! Skeleton Brother instantly slashed away 20% of its health. The powerful blow sent the Compound Eye Tyrant reeling, its momentum broken! It roared angrily, its eight compound eyes blazing with blue light, and the arcs of electricity on its body instantly doubled in thickness!

It abandoned Leah, its eight legs paddling frantically, transforming into a streak of silver lightning that spun around the skeleton at high speed! Each pounce was accompanied by a shriek that tore through the air and violent arcs of electricity, attempting to shatter the skeleton blocking its path with absolute speed and destructive force!

Skeleton Brother's towering frame resembled a reef in a storm! His massive bone sword swung like an impenetrable storm of death! He didn't blindly pursue, but used static to counter dynamic forces. The massive bone sword precisely blocked and absorbed the force, and every clash erupted with dazzling sparks and deafening roars!

Its dark blue soul fire locked onto the fast-moving silver afterimage, searching for a flaw in the fatal blow! The faint light of the armor-piercing blow was hidden on the sword's edge, like a lurking venomous snake!

At the very moment that Skeleton Brother intercepted the Compound Eye Tyrant, Wu Ye's gaze was fixed on the Phantom Web Weaver, Dark Gold Spider Mother, perched on the spiderweb platform overhead! The purple spider was puffing out its abdomen once again, its eerie purple eyes flashing with malevolent light, clearly preparing to unleash a new round of curses and poisonous arrows!

"Don't even think about it!" Wu Ye growled, pointing his bone staff at the spider, and a chaotic and manic mental wave instantly spread out!

"confusion!"

Om-!

The invisible spiritual ripples precisely struck the Phantom Web Weaver! It froze in its motion just as it was about to spit poisonous arrows! A flash of confusion and frenzy flashed across its eight purple eyes! It no longer spewed poisonous arrows in fragments, but now spurted them in a random, chaotic pattern. Most of the venom struck the surrounding spider webs and tree trunks, corroding them and sending up puffs of white smoke! It even began to unconsciously tear at the spiderweb platform beneath its feet!

"Now!" Wu Ye's mind raced! Over ten skeleton mages, each armed with a bone staff, instantly formed behind him! "Concentrate fire! Ice bomb volley!"

Whoosh whoosh!

A dense, bone-chilling shower of ice bullets rained down upon the chaotic Phantom Web Weaver. They slammed into its purple carapace with a crackling sound, leaving behind patches of white frost. While unable to inflict fatal damage, the extreme cold greatly slowed its movements.

The Phantom Web Weaver broke free from its confusion and let out an angry scream! Its eight purple eyes locked onto Wu Ye, its mouth opened again, and the silent, decaying curse ripples spread out again!

Wu Ye was prepared! He slammed his staff down on the ground and called out, "Bone Wall!" A thick wall of pale bones instantly rose from the ground, blocking him from the cursed ripples! The decaying ripples collided with the bone wall, causing only a few gray ripples on its surface before dissipating without a trace!

"Increase the damage!" Wu Ye formed seals with his hands once more! A wave of dark red energy, filled with malice, instantly enveloped the Phantom Web Weaver! Dark red cracks appeared on its purple carapace, significantly weakening its defenses!

The Phantom Web Weaver sensed the threat and slammed its eight legs against the web platform, instantly vanishing! The next second, it reappeared on another web behind Wu Ye, its abdomen bulging again, ready to launch a poisonous arrow attack!

"Trying to run?" Wu Ye sneered, pointing his staff at its new landing point! "Bone Prison!" Several sharp bone spikes instantly pierced through the spider web beneath its feet. Although they didn't penetrate its shell, they successfully interrupted its spellcasting! At the same time, the Skeleton Mages' second round of ice bombs whizzed towards it!

Leah fought back the excruciating pain in her chest and the weakening feeling of having her magic power drained away, struggling to stand with the help of Vera. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her icy blue eyes fixed on the mobile fortress blocking the entrance to the tree cave—the Nest Guardian, the Dark Gold Giant Spider!

"Liya! How is it?" Vera asked anxiously, holding her javelin tightly and staring vigilantly at the giant spider that exuded a terrifying and oppressive feeling.

"I'm not...dead yet!" Leah gritted her teeth, picking up the fallen ice crystal staff. The light from the staff was dim, but still steady. "High Priest! Give Sister Vera and me your blessing! Let's deal with this guy blocking our way first!"

"Got it!" Though the High Priest's soul's glow dimmed, he remained steadfast. "Holy Light's protection! Honor and blessings!" Two brilliant golden beams fell upon Leah and Vera, respectively. Leah felt a surge of warmth flow through her body, her magic power returning slightly, and her mental strength stabilizing considerably. Vera felt a surge of power, and her javelin seemed to have become lighter!

"Sister Vera! Its joints! Low fire resistance!" Leah keenly observed that when the giant spider moved, the gaps at the joints covered by the thick shell would slightly increase, and the color of the shell at the joints would appear slightly dark red (a visual prompt of fire resistance -20%)!

"Understood!" Vera's eyes were as sharp as an eagle! She took a deep breath, leaned back slightly, and poured all her strength into her right arm! The tip of the javelin lit up with a dazzling electric light! "Lightning Fury!"

Tsk-!

A thick, lightning-bolt with leaping destructive energy flew out of his hand! The target was directly aimed at the knee joint of one of the nest guardian's supporting legs!

The nest guardian seemed to sense the threat, letting out a low roar and trying to lift its leg to dodge! But its speed was relatively slow! The lightning javelin, like a silver venomous snake, penetrated the cracks in its shell with incredible precision!

boom!

Dazzling lightning exploded within its joints! Accompanied by the crackling sound of its shell and the smell of burning! The Nest Guardian roared in agony! The leg that had been struck suddenly gave way, and its massive body stumbled! Although its thick shell (hardened skin) and elemental resistance (magic resistance) prevented it from suffering fatal injuries, the trauma to its joints clearly affected its movements!

"Good chance! Leah!" Vera shouted.

Leah was ready! She suppressed her weakness and madly poured her remaining mana into her staff! "Blizzard!" Though the range was far smaller than before, countless sharp icy spikes precisely covered the area where the Nest Guardian was stumbling! The icy spikes slammed into its thick carapace, and although most of them bounced off or left only white marks, the extremely cold airflow slowed its movements even further! More importantly, the icy spikes focused on its injured leg!

At the same time, the high priest floated high above, pointing a small hand at the nest guardian! "Purify!" A soft yet resilient holy light enveloped the giant spider! The holy light wasn't meant to kill, but to suppress the invisible thorn-rebounding force field (the Thorn Aura) on its surface, which caused its vines to wither and break! The holy light and the force field collided violently, emitting a sizzling sound as they melted away!

"Sister Vera! Come again!" Leah shouted.

Vera once again gathered the power of lightning! This time, her target was the joint of the giant spider's other leg! The lightning javelin whistled out again!

As the three leaders were entangled, the remaining skeleton warriors endured immense pressure! Their circular bone shield formation, buffeted by the endless wave of spiders, was like a lone boat in a storm! The rusted bone shields were covered in scratches, corroded pits, and sticky spiderwebs! Skeleton warriors were constantly pierced by sharp legs, their soul fire extinguished, dissolved by the potent acid, or torn apart by larger spiders!

But they still faithfully followed Wu Ye's final command—hold off the scattered soldiers! They used bone shields to relentlessly withstand the onslaught, wielding rusted bone knives frantically, slicing and slicing away the advancing spiders! They used their bodies to fill the gaps in the line, extinguishing their soul fires to buy precious time for the central battlefield! The entire outer perimeter of the circular formation was like a giant meat grinder, with bones and spider debris flying everywhere!

The battle instantly split into four brutal battlefields! Skeleton Brother and Compound Eye Tyrant transformed into a silver-blue lightning storm, each collision erupting with deafening roars and blinding flashes of lightning. Wu Ye and Phantom Web Weaver engaged in a bizarre duel of curses and counter-curses, teleportation and blockades. Leah, Vera, and the High Priest surrounded the bulky but formidable Nest Guardian, targeting its weak points with precise strikes and elemental suppression. Meanwhile, the Skeleton Warriors on the periphery used bones and soul fire to build a final line of defense, fending off the endless swarm of spiders like a black tide!

The way out is in the tree hole behind the giant spider! But every step leading to the way out is soaked in blood and bones!
