The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe

Chapter 77: That Was Close


Hearing Mr. Zhou's shout, the players present immediately nodded, indicating their agreement.

After all, they also saw those sneak attacks from the veterans, which indeed left them with little room to defend.

Especially since they found it very difficult to distinguish between those Gana.

The battle continued, with players still holding the upper hand; the ordinary Gana couldn't break through the players' defenses, while the players could easily pierce through the Gana's bodies with their weapons.

Just after the players clashed with Gana once again, the low-tier knights among the Gana reappeared and launched sneak attacks on some players.

Mr. Zhou, after having previously instructed the other players, didn't continue with close combat but, like Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching, hid behind the other players to cast spells, occasionally finishing off enemies.

This way, he had enough time and energy to observe the entire scene.

Although the battle energy of these low-tier knights was not very noticeable, the keen-eyed Mr. Zhou still noticed them immediately.

He immediately cast a 'Basic Death Wrap' at one of the low-tier knights, then shouted at Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching: "Third on the left."

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching understood immediately, following up with a Basic Curse Weakening which he also threw over.

The Gana low-tier knight hit by two dark magic spells instantly became sluggish and couldn't help but let out a groan of pain.

The other players immediately got excited, charging forward and thrusting their weapons into the Gana low-tier knight, turning it into a pincushion.

This was because the task required the body to be intact, or this Gana low-tier knight would have been shredded to pieces.

The other Gana low-tier knights had already retreated among the other ordinary Gana.

Seeing this tactic was effective, Mr. Zhou opened his mouth and laughed, saying, "Very good, the effect of this tactic is excellent. As long as those elite veteran monsters dare to show themselves, we will use this tactic to take them down."

"The number of those elite monsters is not that many, just a few more rounds of this, and we can wipe them out completely!"

Hearing Mr. Zhou's words, the players around swung their weapons more excitedly, constantly attacking the ordinary Gana around them.

Their cooperation, initially unfamiliar, had reached quite a level of tacit understanding after this grind.

Combined with excellent equipment and their extraordinary abilities, they rendered the ordinary Gana unable to raise their heads.

Corpses of Gana quickly piled up around them.

At this moment, the low-tier knights among the Gana launched another attack.

Mr. Zhou used the same tactic as before, casting spells together with Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching on one of the enemies.

However, the moment they cast their spells, a shadow rushed out from among the Gana at incredible speed.

It charged directly above the players, then descended rapidly, and the stone spear in its hand gleamed with a pale white glow.

This glow was noticeably brighter than those of the low-tier knights, and its target was Mr. Zhou.

The stone spear was both accurate and quick, catching the players off guard and even Mr. Zhou was a bit slow to react.

In the nick of time, Lu Yun, standing not far from Mr. Zhou, thrust out the shield in his right hand vigorously.

The shield briefly blocked it, only to be pierced through by the stone spear surging with battle energy.

Luckily, that brief obstruction allowed Mr. Zhou to react and dodge his head to the side.

The next moment, the stone spear scraped by his helmet and pierced directly through his armor, embedding itself in his shoulder.

At this moment, Mr. Zhou clearly heard the crack of his own bone.

He had only undergone nine blood pool enhancements, missing one to transform and become a low-tier skeleton warrior, resulting in a severe injury where his entire scapula cracked.

Fortunately, the players around regained their composure and launched an attack on the sneaky Gana middle-tier knight, forcing it to retreat.

As the retreat was hurried, there was no time to pull out the stone spear, leaving it stuck in Mr. Zhou's shoulder.

Mr. Zhou looked at Lu Yun in fright: "Brother, thanks to you, otherwise, I might have been done for today. Didn't expect these ugly things to not only be warlike and cruel but also extremely cunning and deceitful."

"That must have been the boss, right? The attack was clearly much stronger than those elite monsters."

Lu Yun glanced at his shield skewered by the stone spear: "You'll have to craft me a new shield for free later."

Mr. Zhou yanked out the stone spear with effort, then tossed the perforated shield to Lu Yun: "For now, just make do, I'll definitely craft a better one for you for free when we get back."

Lu Yun swung the warhammer in his other hand and grinned: "Alright, by the way, is your injury a problem?"

Mr. Zhou, while observing the Gana, replied: "Don't worry, I'm mainly a mage, close combat is just a hobby, it doesn't affect much, I can still cast spells."

Lu Yun smashed a warhammer onto a Gana's chest, caving it in, killing it on the spot: "What about that boss? We need to find a way to take it out first, its attack power is too strong, and it poses a huge threat."

"And it's very sly, it noticed you two are mages among us, posing a significant threat to those elite monsters of theirs, so it targeted you."

Mr. Zhou observed the Gana while speaking: "In a moment, only one of us, either Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching or me, will make a move to disrupt those elite monsters. While it's surely not as effective as both of us acting at the same time, the impact is still noticeable."

"As long as everyone cooperates well, it should be enough to entangle and deal with it."

"The one of us who isn't making a move will always be ready to throw it at that appearing boss. As long as we can slow him down, with so many of us, I don't believe we can't take it down."

Hearing Mr. Zhou's plan, the other players nodded slightly in agreement.

At this moment, the low-tier knights among the Gana launched another attack, and Mr. Zhou immediately threw a Basic Death Wrap over.

The other players immediately seized the opportunity, resisting attacks directly, and rushed together to besiege the Gana low-tier knight affected by the magic.

At this time, the Gana middle-tier knight attacked again, still targeting Mr. Zhou.

With his mental state and attention long heightened to the maximum, Mr. Zhou immediately shouted at Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching beside him: "Mr. Qian, now's the time!"

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching immediately launched a 'Basic Curse Weakening', flinging it head-on at the attacking Gana middle-tier knight.
