Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

So after he cast the tornado storm, he began his second spellcasting.

This time, it was also a large-area AOE magic but with the added functionality of pulling and gathering enemies, called Howling Wind Vortex.

This was a vortex created by the collision and entanglement of five huge wind blades with countless smaller wind knives, forcibly dragging and grinding the surrounding creatures into its whirling embrace.

The scale of this technique was massive, leaning more towards control than high damage.

However, the Ghost Knights, having pushed through the tornado storm, had already suffered a wave of AOE damage—either reduced to bone dust or severely wounded and low on health; even those with the lightest wounds had lost half of their health bars.

Now being pulled and ground by the Howling Wind Vortex, another large batch of Ghost Skeleton Knights shattered into fragments, scattered by the wind all over the arena.

Following two wind-based AOE magic attacks, the nearly three thousand Skeleton Cavalry Legion were torn and tattered, with only a few hundred managing to breach both spells to come within fifty meters of Ouyang Lin.

The lances lowered slightly, as Skeletal Horses’ hooves thunderously quickened, carrying the unstoppable momentum of the remnants of the Ghost Skeleton Knights, who collectively activated the “Charge” skill.

The ravaged regiment transformed into a surge of bone, suddenly accelerating and crashing forward.

“Wind Shield! Howling Wind Blade!”

Touching the ground with his magic wand, a ring of gray-green wind formed a pale green light shield encasing Ouyang Lin.

At the same time, a fierce wind arose around him as wind blades materialized around him and indiscriminately slashed in all directions.

The fierce gales, in association with the Wind Shield, caused the direction of the Ghost Skeleton Knights’ charge to skew, grazing past the Wind Shield.

Over a hundred Skeleton Cavalry attacking the Wind Shield caused it to be riddled with cracks, yet it still didn’t shatter.

The rest of the riders, ravaged by the wind blades, were sliced into bone fragments, falling along the fifty-meter charge path.

“Indeed, when fighting a person, the role of the Skeleton Cavalry is extremely limited. Especially if the opponent isn’t flying, it’s even more useless,” he said to himself, rubbing his chin as Zi Liyuan watched Ouyang Lin with focused eyes and spirit.

Although Zi Liyuan had the absolute strength to turn the tables on his opponent, he scorned the opponent strategically yet still took him seriously tactically.

He wanted to see just how far these chosen ones could push their combat abilities. Thus, he allowed Ouyang Lin to slowly reveal his hand.

As the Ghost Skeleton Cavalry Legion was wiped out, Zi Liyuan didn’t rush to summon more, but waited for Ouyang Lin’s attack.

Of course, after being dragged into the arena, all the temporary buffing BUFFs on him were cleared, which significantly reduced his power.

After all, the Bloodline Power activated with his second spirit had given him a super BUFF that boosted all his attributes by 40%. The loss of this BUFF was a significant hit to his power.

Still, he didn’t complain, as there is a big difference between outdoor combat and this kind of arena battle.

After all, one can use all means available in the former, while the latter is regulated, forbidding actions like potion drinking or scroll usage.

To avoid any surprises, Zi Liyuan slightly raised his magic wand, and three large Bone Shields floated around him.

The Necromancer’s protective spell, Bone Shield, was quite impressive, as it could automatically guard him despite the individual shields’ limited defensive power.

It was just as Zi Liyuan’s Bone Shield was deployed that Ouyang Lin’s magic attack arrived.

A massive Wind Blade, as if teleporting, appeared before him in a flash.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast the Wind Blade was, it was no match for the old tortoise’s reaction. The moment the Wind Blade materialized, the tortoise’s huge head blocked its inevitable path.

With a “zila” sound, the Wind Blade left a white mark on the tortoise’s incredibly hard head but failed to break through its thick hide.

A “MISS” character popped up above the tortoise’s head, rendering the menacing Wind Blade completely ineffective.

Ouyang Lin had not expected much from this Wind Blade since it was only a probe.

But seeing the “MISS” floating above the Ridgeback Tortoise’s head still made him feel somewhat helpless.

Considering his gear had notably enhanced his magic damage and wind-based magic attacks, along with his innate talent boosts—

This seemingly ordinary single-target Wind Blade spell was at least three times more potent than the normal damage.

Yet such an attack, when made against a level 80 Epic Boss, failed to even penetrate its defenses, souring his mood.

However, when considering the opponent’s identity as this year’s national college entrance exam top scorer who broke several records, such strength was understandable.

But this was just his probe; what came next was serious business.

Ouyang Lin stood up straight as elemental winds from all directions converged, condensing above his head into a faint cyan dragon.

“Wind Dragon Assault!”

Guided by his spirit, manipulating vast wind elements, he transformed them into a dragon that, with a fierce wind, roared toward Zi Liyuan.

“So, he’s using his ultimate move, trying to defeat me in one go?”

With the spirit lock-on, coupled with the “Elemental Map” and “Death’s Eye,” Zi Liyuan could clearly see the actions Ouyang Lin had taken in just a few short seconds.
