Chapter 45 You're really disgusting to the devil.
The Ark was like a meticulous fighting machine, constantly releasing the [Resurrection of the Dead] skill while coordinating with 20 skeletons to suppress the berserk Giant Axe Horned Demon in a corner of the hall, and looking for an opportunity to release [Bone Shackles] to interfere with the escape route of the three Abyss Demon Children.
Compared to the previous two difficulty levels, this horned demon with a giant axe has significantly increased destructive power.
Even with the [Dominate Skeletons] skill bonus, the skeletons summoned by the Ark are no match for the Horned Demon's axe.
Fortunately, as undead creatures, skeletons do not have any vital parts in the traditional sense, except for the skull that contains the soul fire.
Unless one is unlucky enough to have their skull shattered by a horned demon's axe, even if they are cut in two, they can be saved by the Ark's Resurrection ability.
Furthermore, while the Giant Axe Horned Demon possesses immense strength, its agility is clearly a weakness. Its movement and attack speeds are both slow, giving Ark the opportunity to command its skeleton army in tiered attacks.
Despite this, the 20 skeletons continued to dwindle amidst the horned demon's furious roars.
Within just two minutes, the soul fires of five skeletons went out, scattering into a pile of bones.
Fang Zhou remained calm, unmoved by the casualties among the skeletons; most of his attention was focused on the Abyss Demon Child, who was fleeing in disarray.
Compared to the heavily armored, melee-type horned demons that are difficult to kill quickly, these three demon children, who are effective against mages and can attack from a distance, should be dealt with first.
If they are allowed to remain safely in the back, constantly unleashing Devouring Spells and Desecrating Rays, they will impose greater restrictions on the Ark.
Within those two minutes, he had successfully commanded the skeleton horde to kill two demon children, leaving only the most cunning one struggling desperately.
However, the last demon child was quickly cornered by 10 skeletons.
Finding itself in dire straits, it screamed and swung its obsidian orb, unleashing a blasphemous ray that struck a skull that couldn't dodge in time.
Ark seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the moment when the spell was in effect, and pierced its heart with a precise and ruthless bone spear.
At this point, only 10 skeletons remained to besiege the Giant Axe Horned Demon, and all of them were severely injured.
However, under the relentless attacks of the skeletons, the horned demon was panting heavily, and its scales on various vital parts were covered with wounds of varying depths, causing its combat power to decline to some extent.
Fangzhou breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he remained vigilant.
His mental energy is almost depleted, and he only has 30 skeletons under his command. He must make the most of every bit of his strength.
Under his skillful command, 20 relatively intact skeletons gradually moved to the front line, while another 10 severely damaged skeletons retreated to the rear to serve as the second echelon.
The spacious hall provided the Horned Demon with the opportunity to unleash its full potential, but it also allowed the Ark to fully utilize its Skeleton Army tactics.
Wave after wave of skeletons surged toward the lone giant axe-wielding horned demon.
Feint attack, cover, feint, suicide attack...
Fang Zhou truly deserves the title of genius that Chen Qingshan praised as having the potential to become a tactical master.
Under his command, the mindless skeletons developed a remarkable teamwork, manipulating the giant axe-wielding demon like nimble mice, causing it immense suffering.
The Giant Axe Horned Demon naturally understood the principle of capturing the leader first, and had tried to charge towards the Ark several times.
However, each time it charged forward, it was interrupted by the Ark using [Bone Shackles], which instead created an opportunity for the skeleton horde.
Soon, due to excessive blood loss and exhaustion, the giant axe-wielding horned demon's movements became increasingly slow.
Although it took away 8 more skeletons, it also took two precise bone spears from the Ark.
Suddenly, the giant axe-horned demon raised its head and roared, its blood-red eyes staring intently at the ark that was leisurely hiding in the distance.
Fangzhou's heart skipped a beat, realizing that this boss was about to enter its final explosive phase.
Sure enough, the horned demon raised its right hand high, and a large amount of demonic power gathered in its thick right arm, emitting a malicious black light.
"Insects! Die!"
With a roar, the Horned Demon spotted the Ark's location and hurled his prized Abyss Axe with all his might.
Without their weapons, the already exhausted horned demons will perish even faster amidst the skeleton army.
But if it doesn't fight to the death and try to behead that necromancer that disgusts the demons, it will also face certain death.
With a sharp whooshing sound, the giant axe that the horned demon had thrown with all its might instantly covered a distance of tens of meters.
All the skeletons that stood in the way of the giant axe were shattered into a pile of bones, without slowing down its speed and power in the slightest.
Not to mention Ark personally facing that flying axe, even the many students watching his battle live from the sidelines couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"It's all over, Ark is going to be eliminated!"
"This is way too difficult! The Horned Demon is clearly a melee-type demon, yet it can throw giant axes like that. Even if Ark were a frail necromancer, or even an assassin known for their agility, they probably wouldn't be able to dodge it!"
"Sigh, what a pity! Ark was clearly in the bag, but it still got a comeback from a desperate situation."
"Yes, his timing in using various skills and his command of the skeleton army were previously impeccable. This misstep can only be attributed to bad luck!"
Bai Xiaochun listened to the students' discussions, held her breath, clenched her small fists, and felt her heart leap into her throat.
"Ark also has a [Bone Shield] ability; it might be able to block this flying axe!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan shook his head.
"This move can only be dodged, not taken head-on."
Even the instructors watching from the conference room held their breath, not very optimistic about Fangzhou.
Having reached this point in just one month since its awakening, Ark has exceeded everyone's expectations.
......
At this moment, facing the roaring abyssal giant axe, Fang Zhou remained calm.
He waved his staff lightly, "Skeleton Wings!"
In an instant, a pair of bone wings woven from necromancy materialized on his back, and his entire skeleton became as light as a feather.
With a slight flap of its skeletal wings, Ark's body shifted several meters to the right, narrowly avoiding the horned demon's seemingly inevitable flying axe.
Ark's divine skill not only brought an end to the Horned Demon's life, but also once again shocked everyone watching his battle livestream.
In the conference room, Lu Hu slammed his fist on the table and stood up, unable to hold back any longer.
"A skeleton-based movement skill?! Ark has developed that already?"
Instructors Shen Hongyu and Chen Qingshan were also discussing the matter extensively.
"The necromancer's biggest weakness is their lack of powerful mobility skills. No matter how many summons they have, they are still easily killed. I didn't expect Ark to fill this gap so quickly!"
"Yes, although it's just an apprentice-level skill, as long as you have a direction for success, it's not difficult to gradually work your way up!"
"If the ark had not been built, the souls of the dead would have remained in eternal darkness!"
