Chapter 382 Luxurious Attribute Panel, Making a Fortune from War!
However, Fangzhou had already foreseen all of this.
In his mind, every step of the plan had already been laid out.
With a slight mobilization of his mental energy, five more elite Black Iron Skeleton Lieutenants, enhanced to the extreme, charged towards the Temptress Commander like a raging storm.
Their steps were firm and powerful, each exuding an indomitable spirit, like five moving fortresses.
"Stop them!!"
The Flame Demon assistant beside the Temptress Commander let out a piercing scream.
It waved its arms, directing the surrounding demon guards to intercept these merciless undead warriors.
But Fang Zhou was never one to win by brute force; every action he took was the result of careful consideration.
"A spear that pierces the heart with bones!"
Accompanied by Ark's clear and powerful chant, a pale white bone spear materialized from the void, piercing the air as it aimed directly at the heart of the Temptress Commander.
With a crisp "crack," another amulet was shattered into dust by the impact of the bone spear, but the Temptress Commander remained standing.
Clearly, it possesses far more than just these life-saving features.
Faced with this situation, Fangzhou showed no signs of panic.
Prior to this, he had already clashed with the Temptress Commander several times and knew that the other party possessed many protective treasures.
However, while the Temptress Commander's blasphemous spells are powerful, they require a certain amount of preparation time to cast.
This gave Ark ample time to respond.
He calmly took out a vial of mana-restoring potion that shimmered with a ghostly blue light from his bag and poured it into his mouth without hesitation.
As the medicine slid down my throat, a cool sensation quickly spread throughout my body.
His mana was replenished in the short time, making ample preparations for the more intense battle to come.
Immediately afterwards, Fangzhou focused his mind again and began to draw complex runes in the void.
"A cage of bones!"
As the last syllable fell, countless skeletons instantly rose from the ground, intertwining and connecting to form a massive and sturdy cage, completely surrounding the Temptress Commander.
Although this spell does not have direct killing power, its excellent control effect is enough to give the Ark the best opportunity to counterattack.
Fangzhou, having already experienced countless battles, naturally chose the most exquisite timing for casting his spells.
"Aww!!!"
Beneath the cage of bones, the Temptress Commander let out a agonizing wail, his voice filled with boundless rage and despair.
Its spellcasting was interrupted again, and blood gushed from its mouth and nose, mixing with sweat and dust, staining the ground a mottled red.
The pain intensified its contortions; its body curled up into a ball, rolling on the ground in agony, as if enduring unbearable torture.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the Demon Guards surrounding the Temptress Commander and the elite skeleton officers summoned by the Ark were embroiled in a chaotic battle.
The clash of swords and the glow of magic intertwined, the air thick with the stench of blood and the sulfurous scent of magic.
Each collision was accompanied by the clang of metal and the cracking of bones, plunging the entire battlefield into chaos.
Seeing this, the loyal Flame Demon assistant hurriedly dragged the Temptress Commander backward, trying to escape the Ark's attack range.
As it ran, it looked back repeatedly, its eyes filled with fear and despair, as if it realized that today's battle had reached a critical moment of life and death.
"Tsk, they're really hard to kill!"
Fangzhou murmured to himself.
To end this battle, more decisive measures must be taken.
So he released the Heavenly Bottle several times in succession.
With each release, a thick curtain of darkness appeared in the sky, shrouding the entire battlefield in pitch black.
The once bright battlefield became gloomy and oppressive, with only a few dim rays of light piercing through the thin mist, adding a touch of eeriness to the gloomy scene.
Immediately afterwards, a [Horror Aura] emanated from the necromancy orb in Ark's hand.
Wherever the halo reached, the demons' morale plummeted.
Many demons were stunned by the sudden darkness and fear. They were either terrified or at a loss, and their originally tight and orderly formation began to loosen.
This is the latest way Ark has developed to use the Sky Bottle.
In the dark environment created by the Celestial Bottle, combined with the terrifying aura, the demons not only lost their sight but also had their psychological defenses completely shattered.
In such an environment, the demons have almost no way of determining the enemy's location, let alone launching an effective attack.
However, the skeletal warriors on the Ark side were completely unaffected.
They rely on soulfire to sense the life force of their enemies; eyesight is a meaningless concept to these undead creatures.
In the darkness, they become even more alert, moving towards their target with precision with every step.
At this moment, the Temptress Commander finally struggled to get up from the ground.
Blood was still flowing from its mouth and nose, but it no longer bothered to wipe it away.
Its eyes were filled with hatred, and it roared in a hoarse voice, "Damn necromancer, I'll kill you!!!"
It removed a piece of demonic bone from its body. The surface of the bone was covered with complex incantations, clearly a carefully prepared trump card.
The Temptress Commander activated the demonic bone without hesitation.
With a sickening grinding sound, a black shadow darted out from the demonic bone and, guided by magic, sped toward the ark at an incredible speed.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, a massive surge of blasphemous magical energy struck the Ark's skeletal armor, instantly triggering a violent energy shockwave.
Fang Zhou felt the ground beneath his feet shaking, but he did not back down.
The power of blasphemous magic was immense, but this was within his expectations.
Before the blasphemous energy had completely dissipated, Ark quickly took out a [Bone Armor Amulet] from his pocket and activated it.
A new bone armor rapidly formed around the ark, protecting him like an indestructible shield.
The energy of the blasphemous spell continued to impact the newly formed bone armor, each impact accompanied by a dazzling light and a deafening sound.
After several collisions, the powerful blasphemous spell finally dissipated into nothingness as the last wave of energy was exhausted.
Fangzhou had anticipated this.
In his initial encounters with the Temptress Commander, he nearly suffered a major defeat at the hands of this cunning enemy.
Although the Temptress Commander's spell attacks are inefficient, crude, and lack skill, their attack power is not to be underestimated.
However, this battle has now reached its final stage.
Under the relentless barrage of spells from the Ark, the Temptress Commander managed to escape unscathed thanks to the numerous amulets and defensive items on her person, but her guards were not so lucky.
The elite skeleton officers wielded their sharp weapons, slaughtering the guards surrounding the Temptress Commander one by one.
At this moment, the five elite skeleton officers relentlessly attacked the Demon Commander, each attack rendering his life-saving items worthless.
"A cage of bones!"
The Ark's incantation echoed across the battlefield.
Countless skeletons rose from the ground in an instant, intertwining and connecting to form a huge and sturdy cage, trapping the Temptress Commander firmly.
Immediately following, a skeletal spear pierced the heart!
Bone Shockwave!
Finally, after several rounds of spellcasting, the Temptress Commander collapsed to the ground, powerless.
Its shield gradually dimmed and disappeared, and it was successfully killed by an elite skeleton officer.
The chaotic battlefield of the demon camp suddenly came to a standstill at this moment.
"Mission completed, time taken: 15 minutes and 40 seconds, completion rating: [Perfect], reward: 60 contribution points."
"Congratulations, Corporal Ark! You cleared the [Little Inferior Demon Camp] Abyss difficulty in 15 minutes and 40 seconds, ranking 1st on the all-time speedrun leaderboard. You are expected to receive 120 contribution points as a ranking reward this month."
"Triggered a loot drop, obtained the [Beginner's Longsword], worth 100 contribution points."
A series of familiar notification sounds rang in Ark's ears once again.
Although he had heard these system prompts countless times, each time he heard them, he still felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Fangzhou tallied up the spoils of the battle and found that he had easily earned 120 contribution points.
Lying quietly in the simulation pod, Fangzhou reminisced about the intense magical battle that had just taken place, reflecting on his gains and losses.
His skill set is now quite complete.
Whether it's the summoning type, the enhancement type, the skeletal type, or the soul type, they have all achieved a state of balance overall.
However, through the magical confrontation with the Temptress Commander just now, Ark also discovered some of its own problems.
Most obviously, he lacks an effective means to interrupt the enemy's spellcasting process.
In addition, he also realized that he was still lacking in the ability to weaken the enemy's attacks and defenses.
These problems could become fatal weaknesses in actual combat.
In particular, after his skeletal clone successfully analyzed the zombie's innate skill [Corruption Avatar], he has been unable to find enough time and soul power to deduce the corresponding necromancer corruption skills for his main body.
This made him somewhat powerless when facing enemies with high defense.
Fangzhou looked at his almost zero soul power reserves on his attribute panel and shook his head helplessly.
Although he had been training and hunting day and night for the past two months, barely raising his previous apprentice-level skills to the Iron level, he was simply not up to the task of developing new skills on that basis.
Without the support of soul power, he could not effectively improve any of his abilities on the attribute panel, which made him feel very troubled.
Before they knew it, the two months of preparation time that the military academy had reserved for Fangzhou had passed in a flash.
Now that the second semester has begun, Fangzhou has officially skipped a grade and become a second-year student.
According to the rules, Ark needs to select a second-year seed student to challenge, in order to determine his seed ranking among the second-year students.
Fangzhou looked at his attribute panel, his heart filled with confidence.

After Ark's reclassification and arrangement, the attribute panel is now clearer and more pleasing to the eye.
His strength has increased many times over compared to a month ago when he broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the Black Iron level.
With its current strength, Ark is confident in facing the Hive Walker Ancient Moon Source.
Therefore, he directly requested the military academy to challenge Gu Yueyuan.
Gu Yueyuan also possesses the heart of a strong person, so naturally he is not afraid of the challenge from the Ark.
As a top student in the second year, Gu Yueyuan's strength should not be underestimated.
After both sides agreed on the time and place, Fang Zhou, the former No. 1 seed student of the first year, and Gu Yueyuan, the current No. 1 seed student of the second year, are about to engage in a fair competition.
Just like the arena challenge during the selection of first-year seed students, the arena where Fangzhou and Guyueyuan were located was also closely monitored by various magic arrays, which was enough to ensure that the two of them would not suffer fatal damage during the competition.
This also allows these two rare professionals, who are at the lower level of Iron, to unleash their full potential and showcase their abilities.
