Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Chapter 523 - 350: Ruins of Relics, We Are Professional Grave Diggers!_2

At the last critical moment, the Spectre Boss finally reacted, almost instantly entering a phase state, successfully dodging the physical attack aimed at it.

However, although the Skeleton Warrior Bosses failed to deal damage, they still managed to delay the Spectre Boss for a few seconds.

In that length of time, Lord Zi had prepared his second wave of spells.

A mass of Shadow Arrows, turning into a shower of arrows, homed in on the phased Spectre Boss with precision.

Twenty-two Shadow Arrows, each capable of dealing 7000+ damage, struck the already critically wounded Spectre Boss, who could only let out a piercing scream before being utterly destroyed, with orbs of light falling from the spot where it died.

Having dispatched the Spectre Boss, Lord Zi didn’t relax but immediately commanded the Skeleton Warriors to clear the battlefield and move the green treasure chest that the Boss was guarding.

The group quickly retreated from the plaza, stopping only when they reached the edge of the ruins.

With the death of the Spectre Boss, the death energy that loomed over the desolate plaza didn’t dissipate but grew even more massive.

Initially covering only a part, it now shrouded the entire plaza.

After the treasure chest was moved, hundreds of spectres or undead started to surface from the underground, trying to break through the ground and emerge within the ruined plaza.

"Just as I thought, it’s not that simple. The Spectre Boss’s final scream was actually a call for reinforcements.""

With the map in hand, the conditions both above and below ground could be seen at a glance.

If Zi Liyuan had idiotically slain the Boss and joyfully stayed in place to collect the loot and celebrate with opening a treasure chest, he’d definitely have been mobbed by a horde of undead.

Don’t be fooled by the few hundred undead; thousands more could potentially be drawn out from the underground tomb clusters.

Given Zi Liyuan’s current suppressed state, being mobbed by that many undead would have left him more than just skin and bones!

For now, of course, he was looking at the situation and cheerfully opening the treasure chest to collect his spoils of war.

By defeating the Spectre Boss, a total of six green orbs were obtained, each containing a card.

[Resource Pack Card (Green): A one-time use item that, upon activation, grants fine-quality resources (stone, lumber, iron ingot, copper ingot, silver ingot, gold ingot, crystal, sulfur, jewelry, mercury) x10]x6

Excellent, all the resources needed for early upgrades, and they’re all of fine quality.

"Damn it! Fine-quality stone, lumber, iron, and copper can be used to upgrade the Lord’s Mansion, but these six types of fine-quality resources—silver, gold, crystal, sulfur, jewelry, mercury—can’t be used for upgrades! That’s too damn tricky!"

This batch was a bit bittersweet because the upcoming upgrades to the Lord’s Mansion only required the regular quality of these six resources.

The loot from the Spectre Boss was indeed mostly useless.

Shaking his head, he casually activated all six cards and watched as resources were added to the Lord’s Mansion interface. He could only sigh helplessly, then turned his gaze toward the green treasure chest.

This chest, twice the size of the one awarded in the Sea of Realms and not light green but a deep dark green.

"Fortune Goddess my dear, grant me a massive pack of rare ordinary resources, the more the merrier, haha!"

Lifting the lid of the treasure chest, another six green cards fell out.

Grabbing them, he looked at the description of the cards.

[Resource Pack Card (Green): A one-time use item that, upon activation, grants ordinary resources (stone, lumber, iron ingot, copper ingot, silver ingot, gold ingot, crystal, sulfur, jewelry, mercury) x100]x6

"That’s the ticket! The Fortune Goddess my dear really does love me!"

Wasn’t this haul several times better than the Spectre Boss?

After returning, he could probably upgrade the Lord’s Mansion by two levels right away.

But, it was too soon to head back just yet, having just ventured out.

Lord Zi reviewed the map, especially eyeing the monsters that appeared on it.

It was time to show off some real skills!

With the Skeleton Boss squad in tow, he quietly headed towards the dilapidated central square.

At this moment, the square was teeming with hundreds of undead creatures, showing signs of spreading into the ruins.

Hiding under a half-collapsed stone wall, Zi Liyuan glanced at the map to confirm he had left the main cluster of Skeletons behind, as an Elemental Arrow flashed by.

With a crisp "crack," the undead Skeleton instantly exploded into a pile of bone fragments.

The sound of shattering Skeletons naturally caught the attention of several undead creatures nearby.

Two Skeletons, two Zombies, and one Spectre staggered towards the direction where the Skeleton had met its demise.

Undead creatures further away, however, remained undisturbed, allowing Zi Liyuan to breathe a silent sigh of relief.

He didn’t want to directly trigger an undead uprising. Considering that the ruins beneath were a group of tombs with countless sleeping undead, startling them all would inevitably lead to a very small-scale undead uprising.

Once the five undead had approached closely, Zi Liyuan, who had already summoned a Shadow Arrow Rain, unleashed it upon them.

In one encounter, the five undead were instantly killed, and this did not attract the attention of any other undead in the vicinity.

Next, Zi Liyuan ordered the Skeleton Boss squad to stay put while he began to lure and kill the undead around the ruins’ square on his own.

With his limited arsenal of skills and relying on Shadow Arrow Rain and Spear of Death for area damage, anything fewer than a dozen or twenty posed no threat.

And the cooldowns for these skills were mere tens of seconds.

Soon, the hundreds of undead on the derelict central square were hunted down, leaving behind orbs of light scattered on the ground.

Zi Liyuan called the Skeleton Bosses to clean up the battlefield while he carefully inspected the entrance to the ruins below.

Located within a field of relic ruins, there were actually four underground entrances, but when this place was abandoned and the structures collapsed, they all got buried. To go down, they had to dig a passage open.

After the Skeletons had collected the spoils of war, Zi Liyuan examined them while making his way to the nearest underground entrance and started putting the Skeletons to work as diggers.

The drops from the hundreds of undead creatures were all plain resources cards, varying in quantity but mostly comprised of wood and stone.

These resources were abundant for Zi Liyuan; it was better than nothing.

As the Skeletons dug, half an hour went by before the passage was opened. Due to the noise, the undead creatures inside the nearby tombs were all awakened.

Fortunately, their numbers were not overwhelming—barely over a hundred. With the Skeleton Bosses on the front line and Lord Zi harvesting from behind, they were quickly eliminated.

Upon stepping into the underground tombs, the aura of death was immediately palpable, extremely dense all around, and the power of the Skeleton Bosses even increased by 10% in this place.

In the dim environment, after a quick survey of the surroundings, Zi Liyuan, along with a group of Skeleton Bosses, resumed their digging operation.

This time, they were digging up the graves.

With a map, it was clear which graves hid treasures and which contained undead creatures.

Thus, the Skeleton Bosses dug with precision. Even if they disturbed the neighbors beside the grave they excavated, those were quickly beaten down and their inheritances looted.

However, Lord Zi didn’t touch the graves hiding nine Undead Bosses or any graves within ten meters of them.

He feared that directly disturbing these Undead Bosses might activate the entire tomb complex and result in an onslaught from the undead.

For now, the plan was to first empty the surrounding smaller graves and clear out the minor creatures before dealing with the big Bosses.

Digging on and on for several hours, Lord Zi’s mouth could hardly conceal his delight, even wider than that of an AK’s.

The yield from one grave might not be much, but the numerous graves here made up for it!

Suffice to say, grave-robbing had netted him a vast amount of rare resources—enough for at least one upgrade.

After all the hustle and bustle, Zi Liyuan finally led the Skeleton Bosses to the outermost Undead Boss’s grave.

Next, of course, he was going to face the big Boss!
