Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

But compared to her human-like form, the Spider Queen now bore the grotesque appearance of a Cthulhu-like fiend. Gone was any semblance of allure, her visage was downright nauseating.

From the wounds all over the Spider Queen’s body, countless tiny tentacles emerged, flailing and entwining themselves around the people nearby.

A sword shadow as enormous as a mountain fell from the sky, aiming for the Spider Queen’s head, but the moment it was about to make contact, the sword shadow came to an abrupt halt, as if the pause button had been pressed— frozen in place.

The silhouette of a spear glowing with the silvery brilliance of a white dragon, faintly emitting the sound of a dragon’s roar, pierced towards the Spider Queen’s heart, but just as it was about to touch her, it was caught in a web made of countless tentacles that sprung up to trap it.

A low, guttural roar spread out like sound waves, becoming spikes of spiritual energy that ceaselessly attacked the souls of nearby creatures.

All beings within a hundred meters of the BOSS simultaneously saw tens of thousands of damage values flying above their heads.

And that wasn’t all—the Spider Queen’s three thousand strands of blood hair snapped one by one, transforming into countless tiny blood-red spiders that surged towards the crowd. When they neared their target, the little blood spiders suddenly swelled and exploded.

While the explosive damage of these small spiders wasn’t high, only blasting away a dozen or so hit points, their massive numbers and relentless detonations were overwhelming.

For a time, the group attacking the Spider Queen was hard-pressed by the explosive spiders, thrown into disarray.

The two sides exchanged blows, neither able to dominate the other. However, the one steadily putting pressure on and striking hard at the other was still the Spider Queen.

Compared to the spider warriors, this Spider Queen’s combat style was more inclined towards magic, with her array of cunning moves seemingly endless.

Whispering screams, mental disruptors, soul spikes, summoning exploding spiders, Demon Spider projections, lethal toxins…

One skill after another was cast by the Spider Queen, throwing everyone into disarray, forcing them to pull out all the stops in defense and counterattack.

Regrettably, their attacks were like tickling to the Spider Queen, hardly impactful.

With a terrifying too million hit points, after battling for over ten minutes, not even 10 million were depleted, leaving the attackers with utterly grim expressions.

Zi Liyuan, while coordinating with Lao Tie in their attack on the spider warriors, covertly observed the battle between the crowd and the Spider Queen.

Seeing the slow decrease in the Spider Queen’s hit points and how the Legendary BOSS cornered everyone, even pressing them into a harried retreat at times, he felt a sense of “f**k my life.”

He knew these bastards were unreliable!

“Damn it! We’re at this point, and you’re all still holding back, saving your ace cards for what, hatching eggs at home? A bunch of motherf**kers!”

After cursing these unreliable bastards under his breath, he increased the frequency of his attacks on the spider warriors.

He was aware that Li Fengwen and the others were scheming against him, intentionally using the spider warriors to slow him down. But with the situation as it was, he was genuinely worried these fools would capsize.

For over ten minutes, these death-seeking fools fought against the Spider Queen, always dodging and evading, with no one giving their all.

And without a single tank to take the brunt of the attacks head-on, these guys were incredibly sly, only dealing damage from hiding places, and unable to exert even fifty percent of their strength.

In the current situation, only if he quickly took out the Spider Warriors, allowing Lao Tie to stack up his buffs, to confront the Spider Queen head-on, acting as a meat shield tank, could he potentially bring out the full combat power of this group.

“What the hell is wrong with everyone? If you’re scared of dying, then don’t court death. When we take on the Legendary BOSS later, whoever dares to steal my loot or disrupt the spike hits, I’ll make sure they’re dead!”

Looking at the others who could still creep around and chip away at the Spider Queen’s health, Zi Liyuan focused his mind and began to concentrate on coordinating with Lao Tie, unleashing a frenzy of attacks on the Spider Warriors.

Calculating Lao Tie’s health and maintaining distance, Zi Liyuan stealthily maneuvered a few skeletons, carrying bone and flesh pillars, to a spot twenty meters behind the Spider Warrior.

With precise distance control, the Corpse Explosion Technique was suddenly unleashed, and the swelling pillars exploded with a loud boom.

The million-health bone and flesh pillars were supposed to inflict 600k damage on living beings but were significantly weakened when used on the Spider Warrior, resulting in a blast damage of just over took.

But he was content. A Level 10 Death Arrow could only deal about 50k damage to a BOSS, and now, not only had he increased the damage by half, but there was also no 30-second cooldown like the Death Arrow. As long as he had enough corpse materials and his Spiritual Energy wasn’t depleted, he could keep on firing to his heart’s content.

His only concern was the blast range. It had to be very precise, and if the explosion reached Lao Tie, it would be game over.

Poor Lao Tie had a short life span. Now at Level 45, his total health was just over 600k, and even after stacking all his buffs, his health only barely reached 750k.

If he was blasted by the Corpse Explosion Technique using bone and flesh pillars as material, he could instantly lose around 600k health. If the Spider Warrior seized the opportunity and unleashed a combo, it might just burst Lao Tie down.

Keep in mind, if Lao Tie died, summoning him again required a half-hour wait!

Considering how the battle had progressed, especially with the Spider Queen’s dominance, who knew if the examinees’ side would collapse after half an hour.

Zi Liyuan didn’t dare gamble his life on others, especially when the members of the four royal families were exceptionally unreliable.

Spell cycles, battlefield distance control, precise placement of Corpse Explosion materials, all proceeded methodically.

With Zi Liyuan’s brain rapidly calculating everything, almost every 5 to 8 seconds, he managed to pull off a precise explosion, giving the Spider Warrior a classic “death by a thousand cuts” blow.

The balance of victory in Zi Liyuan’s mini-battlefield was tipping infinitely in his favor unless something unexpected happened again.

Of course, the unexpected arrived as scheduled. However, it didn’t concern him.

Perhaps sensing danger, the Spider Warrior began to shriek and hiss, drawing a swarm of BOSSes from the main battlefield in an attempt to surround and kill Zi Liyuan.

But the Skeleton Cannon Fodder Legion played a crucial role at this moment.

The Shield Combat Skeletons, fearless in death, formed a defensive circle around him, acting like an iron barrel, staunchly withstanding the BOSSes’ onslaught, shattering but not letting them take a step beyond their domain.

The skeletons might be fragile, but they were cheap, and with Summon Skeleton enhanced to Level 10, Zi Liyuan could summon 512 at once, exceeding the limit that his Spirit could control.

But it didn’t matter. Although the Shield Warrior skeletons followed a defensive model, even in a defensive stance, they quickly perished under the multitude of BOSSes’ hammering.

Furthermore, when Zi Liyuan noticed that the Shield Combat Skeletons were dying too fast, he would set off a few fireworks at the group of BOSSes, blowing up those mixed in that were either Lords or Hero BOSSes.
