Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　In the eyes of the necromancer, as long as he can defeat and annihilate that lesser demon lord, he can take its place and become the new ruler of this region.

　After all, his undead legion, in terms of both quantity and quality, was in no way inferior to the lesser demon lord whom he had unfortunately targeted.

　The demons in the bottomless abyss never care who their ruler is; they only care whether the ruler is powerful enough.

　Here, any powerful being is qualified to compete for the position of Demon Lord.

　Just as Moros was about to complete his magical ritual, a strange ripple suddenly appeared in the space around the Charon-class light frigate.

　"Warning! An unknown and powerful demon is forcibly tearing apart the spatial barrier!"

　The artificial soul aggregator controlling the Charon-class light frigate sent an alarm to its master through the emergency communication system inside the bridge.

　Upon hearing the urgent report from the artificial soul aggregate, Moros paused slightly in his incantation.

　He swiftly and decisively interrupted the ongoing spell ritual, focusing all his attention on the impending unknown threat.

　With the keen intuition he gained from undergoing four life level transformations, Moros could clearly sense that the being attempting to tear open the spatial barrier and descend near his flagship possessed extraordinary power.

　It was a terrifying pressure that surpassed that of ordinary demons, enough to make anyone who dared to underestimate its existence pay the price.

　Lesser Demon Lord?

　As he pondered to himself, a look of solemnity and vigilance flashed in the necromancer's eyes.

　Without hesitation, he issued a series of orders, commanding the undead forces and the artificial soul aggregate controlling the Charon-class light frigate to immediately enter a state of engagement.

　At the same time, he quickly cast a series of protective spells to protect himself and the Charon-class light frigate he was on.

　The moment the azure magical shield lit up on the hull of the Charon-class light frigate, the barrier of space was torn open.

　A massive crack, like the gaping maw of an abyss, suddenly appeared in the space surrounding the Charon-class light frigate.

　Accompanied by a deafening roar and a raging energy storm, an indescribable stench and chilling aura surged forth from the crack, like a destructive torrent, seemingly threatening to devour everything around it.

　come yet……

　Standing on the bridge of the Charon-class corvette, Moros's gaze was fixed on the ever-widening crack.

　Although he was wary, he was also filled with an overwhelming sense of excitement and anticipation.

　He knew that this battle would be crucial in his rise to become the new ruler of this region.

　Having reached the realm of demigods, even with the aid of the hero panel, Moros's wisdom is beyond doubt.

　The only one who could react and come knocking on his door in such a short time is the true ruler of this region—the lesser demon lord he is about to challenge.

　Attention all personnel, prepare to engage the enemy!

　Through a mental link, the necromancer relayed instructions to all undead forces.

　He then issued an order to the artificial soul aggregate controlling the Charon-class light frigate, instructing it to adjust the ship's attitude to be in the best attack position to meet the powerful enemy that was about to emerge from the rift.

　At this moment, deep within the crack, a colossal creature is slowly revealing its ferocious face.

　This was a lesser abyss lord whose size far exceeded that of an ordinary six-armed serpent demon. Her body was like a moving mountain, exuding a chillingly evil aura.

　Her skin was exceptionally fair, and her features were so beautiful that words could hardly describe them.

　Six strong and powerful hands

　On each arm, they gripped a weapon of different shapes.

　An incomparably sharp longsword, a cunning and ferocious scimitar, a cold and merciless flail, a mighty and domineering warhammer, a spear as sharp as an eagle, and an incredibly heavy two-handed greatsword.

　All six weapons radiated a dazzling magical aura, and the necromancer could tell that their enchantment levels were all +3 or higher.

　Behind her followed hundreds of powerful demons.

　They huddled closely around this lesser demon lord who reigned supreme in a corner of the 406th layer of the abyss, displaying boundless awe and obedience.

　Even more terrifying was the fact that a magnificent portal was slowly opening, connecting to the vast and boundless abyssal territory of this lesser demon lord.

　Through the dim light projected from the portal, one could vaguely see on the other side that a dense army of demons stood ready for battle.

　As soon as this lesser demon lord gives the order, the demon army launches a fierce attack like a tsunami, turning everything in its path into dust.

　It must be admitted that although demons act like lunatics and do whatever they want, this does not mean that they lack wisdom.

　The reason why the demon legion's tactics are so simple that there is only one option left: brute force. This is entirely because low- and mid-level demons do not have the brains to execute precise and complex plans.

　However, this does not mean that high-ranking demons are unintelligent; on the contrary, high-ranking demons are generally more intelligent than the last.

　However, their chaotic nature often causes them to change their plans, making many of their actions seem contradictory, ultimately leading to failure.

　But if we underestimate the demons' schemes because of this, we will pay a heavy price.

　Like other six-armed serpent demons, the six-armed serpent demon lord Modisti also harbors a fanatical love for war and slaughter.

　Therefore, upon noticing the approaching undead legion led by Moros, she reacted immediately, assembling her main force with great efficiency. Then, she ordered her demon spellcasters to open a portal to the enemy's core.

　Modisti was full of confidence in her power. She wanted to personally lead the army to completely destroy the undead legion and let her neighbors witness the terror and majesty of her, the six-armed serpent demon lord Modisti.

Chapter 592 Head-on Blow and Modisty's Assault

　Just as Modisty was full of confidence and about to lead her vast demon army in a teleportation raid, the Charon-class light frigate's head-on attack shattered her seemingly flawless plan in the blink of an eye.

　The massive axial cannon that ran the length of the ship was activated, spewing out an extremely dazzling purple-white beam of light.

　This beam of light was like a sharp blade cutting through space and time, mercilessly evaporating all the demons that dared to stand in its way.

　Immediately afterwards, hundreds of Honkai energy missiles, with a destructive power no less than that of a kiloton-class tactical nuclear weapon, rained down.

　They traced eerie and deadly trajectories in the air, crashing down on the demon army like furious Thor's hammer.

　"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

　Each explosion was accompanied by a deafening roar, as if the entire abyss was trembling and wailing.

　Large swathes of demons were torn to pieces by this technologically advanced attack, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burning and the suffocating stench of demon blood.

　At this moment, the entire battlefield was shrouded in a thick layer of smoke symbolizing death, and it seemed that even time and space were distorted by this force.

　What terrified the demons even more was that three Honkai energy fission bombs, far more powerful than nuclear weapons, were precisely launched into the core area of ​​the demon army.

　With a dazzling burst of light and an ear-splitting roar, these Honkai fission bombs unleashed light and heat symbolizing destruction.

　This light and heat, like a violent volcanic eruption, instantly devoured everything around it.

　Whether it was a powerful high-level demon or the solid surface of the abyss, it was all reduced to nothingness by this destructive power, leaving only a vast white void and a lingering aura of destruction in the air.

　In just a few dozen seconds, the demons who were teleported and attacked by Modisti suffered heavy losses.

　However, the demons who were able to gain the attention of the lesser demon lord Modisti and personally lead the teleportation raid were all elites of the demon legion.

　Although the entire force had been largely dismantled by the enemy's fierce attacks, these demons, led by the six-armed serpent lord, still displayed awe-inspiring fearlessness and resilience.

　They launched a desperate charge against the Charon-class light frigate that had just completed a fierce barrage of firepower and was busy reloading its missiles, determined to completely destroy the warship that had inflicted heavy casualties on them.

　Moros was not surprised by any of this.

　He was well aware that for an army composed of ordinary people, once it loses its organizational structure, its combat effectiveness is often greatly reduced, and even the regular armies of the powerful countries on Earth are no exception.

　However, for those whose minds are clouded by chaos and who are driven by bloodlust and madness

　For demons, the existence of an organization is not that important.

　The Demon Legion's tactics are simple and brutal: to overwhelm others with force and win by brute force.

　Whether they have an official structure or not doesn't really matter much to them.

　There is only one way to truly defeat the demon legion: to eliminate the demon overseer who commands it.

　Specifically, in this smoke-filled battlefield, to defeat the attacking demon army, it is necessary to eliminate the six-armed serpent demon lord Modisti, who is a lesser demon lord.

　It is obvious that as a lesser demon lord, she would not easily perish under the fierce firepower of the Charon-class light frigate.

　Indeed, after thoroughly analyzing the intelligence obtained from the Nightmare-Enchanted Tavern, the necromancer resolutely decided to make Modisty his target.

　But this does not mean that this six-armed serpent demon lord is a weakling who can be slaughtered at will.

　The term "easy target" is merely a relative concept compared to other lesser demon lords in the Abyss.

　In terms of pure strength, Modisty is one of the best among the lesser demon lords.

　If measured by the extraordinary system of the Ashan world, she is a genuine demigod.

　Although this six-armed serpent demon lord is a relatively weak existence in the demigod realm, a demigod is a demigod, and her vitality and power are by no means easily destroyed.

　Even when faced with such an opponent, the necromancer, after careful consideration, still regarded her as his hunting target.

　The reason behind this is actually quite simple and clear.

　Of all the lesser demon lords listed in detail by the intelligence agency, Modisty has the cleanest background.

　As everyone knows, to get by in this world, you need power and connections.

　Modisti, on the other hand, was the one who lacked a powerful backer.

　In terms of strength, this six-armed serpent demon lord is not to be underestimated, but he is ultimately only at the level of a newly ascended demigod.

　In terms of background, she was all alone and had no one to rely on.

　In this context, it's not hard to understand why the necromancer chose her as his target.

　Getting back to the main point, just as the Charon-class light frigate was busily recharging its main guns and missiles, Moros issued new orders to the undead forces under his command.

　At all costs, stop the demon legion's surprise attack!

　In any case, those undead warriors hastily awakened by [Necromantic Spells] are nothing more than one-time battlefield consumables. Even if they do nothing, they will return to dust within a week.

　Therefore, Moros could use these undead warriors resurrected from demon corpses without any hesitation to achieve his tactical objective—to delay the enemy's attack.

　Upon receiving the necromancer's orders, the undead troops, resurrected from demon corpses, sprang into action.

　They quickly erected lines of defense, like walls woven from death and despair, attempting to stop the demon army's desperate offensive.

　Unfortunately, the defenses built by these undead troops, who were essentially just high-level cannon fodder, were almost completely destroyed under the fierce onslaught of the demon legion led by Modisti.

　As for those demons who generally possess teleportation-type spells, why didn't they use their advantage to launch another teleportation attack?

　It's not that they don't want to, but that they can't.

　While mobilizing the undead forces to build a defensive line, Moros also cast spells to seal off the entire battlefield space like an impregnable fortress.

　Apart from Modisti herself, who possesses demigod-level strength, other high-ranking demons are simply unable to cast teleportation spells in this tightly sealed spatial environment.

　However, even so, Modisti still managed to break through the layers of obstruction from the undead army with her powerful demigod-level combat strength.

　Her enormous, mountain-like body allowed her to withstand a great deal of damage, and the six specially crafted enchanted weapons she wielded sent waves of limbs and broken bodies flying through the undead army's formation.

　Under the leadership of this six-armed serpent demon lord, the few remaining high-ranking demons finally broke through the heavy blockade of the undead forces and arrived in front of the Charon-class light frigate.

Chapter 593 Fierce Battle Against the Lesser Demon Lord

　The energy's almost depleted; it's time for me to step in myself...

　Standing on the bridge of the Charon-class light corvette, Morros closely watched, with the help of the Honkai Energy shipboard observation system, how Modisti led the remnants of the demon legion to successfully break through the tight blockade of the undead forces.

　This scene made him decide on his course of action.

　As a demigod-level necromancer, he naturally understood that his undead army could not possibly stop a demigod's breakthrough.

　But he knew even better that for a warrior who had just entered the demigod rank, breaking through the encirclement of the undead army he commanded was no easy task.

　Ultimately, warriors are different from spellcasters; their fighting style is relatively simple, lacking the complex and varied methods of spellcasters.

　The six-armed serpent demon lord, Modisti, did indeed successfully lead a group of high-ranking demons to break through to...

　Ahead of the Charon-class corvette, but the price of this victory was a significant decline in her own physical strength.

　Although the six-armed serpent demon, a demigod, possessed astonishing regenerative abilities, she only needed a few minutes to replenish her physical strength, Moros would not give her that opportunity.

　After making the decision, he took immediate action.

　[Curse of Weakness]!

　[The Delay Technique]!

　The Curse of Rot!

　……

　With intense magical fluctuations, a series of dark spells were unleashed by the necromancer upon Modisti and the high-ranking demons who followed the six-armed serpent lord in breaking through the defenses constructed by the undead legion.

　The necromancer's tactical approach is very clear: first weaken the opponent with dark magic, and then seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow with legendary spells.

　Thanks to his high [Curse Power] attribute of 73 points, the dark magic that Moros personally cast was incredibly effective.
