Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Chapter 794 - 509: [Soul Stripping], Demon Tower and Giant Dragon Mount!

"The last time these Legendary Demon Lords took action in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, we quickly put an end to it. This time, the enemy has switched to the desolate Beastman Wilderness. Fortunately, their actions were successfully intercepted by you."

Fang Zhou raised an eyebrow and asked, "They dare to come again? These demons are really fearless!"

In the holographic projection, Lieutenant Colonel Shen Zhongyun also grinned. "I think so too. The current situation is very favorable to us. The enemy’s scheme has just begun, and their elite forces have not yet been deployed. High Tier military experts have already gone to destroy and reverse-engineer the energy transmission nodes. However, there are still a few hidden gathering points that need to be dismantled. To control the spread of information, no large-scale operational orders were issued. Instead, we are preparing to dispatch elite teams to eliminate them. Fang Zhou, are you interested?"

A glint flashed in Fang Zhou’s eyes as he smiled, "Of course I’m interested, Lieutenant Colonel Shen. What is the approximate strength of these gathering points?"

Shen Zhongyun replied, "Their specific strength is still unclear; we have already sent elite squads to these points for reconnaissance. However, according to the observations of military Array Masters, since we detected them early, there shouldn’t be any demons above the Silver Tier. Of course, this batch of demons all possess some Sacrificial Ability. We will activate the Prism Space Shielding Array at the start of the operation to isolate the opponent’s Sacrificial Summoning ability as much as possible. However, success isn’t 100% guaranteed. You must be very careful of their Sacrificial Summoning during combat. If you find yourself overwhelmed, just hold your position and wait for reinforcements. Our military experts are operating nearby and can enter the Prism Space to support you at any time."

After Fang Zhou’s promotion to the rank of Lieutenant, his authority had increased by another level, so he was aware of many of the military’s backup strategies. The Prism Space was a self-protection Array used within Blue Star’s major human settlements. When the military detected an invasion of a city area by malevolent forces from an Alternate Plane, it would trigger a defense mechanism, creating a ’Prism Space’ to separate the invaded area from reality. First isolate and control, then proceed to clear out the threat. The invaded area would become an independent space, limiting the scope of the invaders’ influence. The military would then dispatch mobile units into the Prism Space to launch a clearing operation against the invaders!

Apparently, the military’s Prism Space segmentation technology had seen significant advancements. Even in the uninhabited Northern Wilderness of Beast Fighting City, the Prism Space could be forcibly activated to maximally obstruct the enemy’s Sacrificial Summoning ability. This did, however, relieve Fang Zhou of his worries. Remembering the enormous Magma Sacrifice Array in the demon cave he had previously eradicated, he nodded and said, "I understand, Lieutenant Colonel Shen. There’s no time to lose. Give me the mission, and I’ll depart immediately."

"Great. I will now send the coordinates of a gathering point and the rough enemy intelligence to your personal terminal. This gathering point is described in the intelligence reports as the most dangerous one. The military’s reconnaissance team has already infiltrated it and may be able to provide you with some assistance. I wish you a triumphant return!"

Fang Zhou gave Shen Zhongyun a military salute, then disconnected the communication and began reviewing the information transmitted to his personal terminal.

Perhaps considering Fang Zhou’s terrifying power, Lieutenant Colonel Shen Zhongyun had assigned him a particularly tough challenge. The location was in the ruins of a high tower, eight hundred kilometers into the Northern Wilderness north of Beast Fighting City. The space where Beast Fighting City was located had originally been a junction between the Mythical World and Blue Star. Besides the three main powers—the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, the Beastman Tribe, and Beast Fighting City itself—there were also many ruins drifting in the crevices between worlds. That high tower was one such relic, its age unknown, with a rather complex terrain.

However, this meant nothing to Fang Zhou. As long as the opponent’s strength doesn’t exceed the Bronze Tier, it doesn’t matter if they are Demon Worshipers, Abyssal Beastmen, or demon nobles. They are merely contribution points and Military Merit delivered right to my door.

Recently, Fang Zhou’s realm advancement had been exceptionally fast, thanks to the attribute feedback from his Clone. Even though the Death Elf Vigus had yet to reach Bronze Middle Rank, he had already advanced to Bronze Upper. He could use the Military Merit from eradicating this demon gathering point, along with what he earned from cleansing the previous demon cave, to exchange for more Pale Spring and enhance Vigus’s strength.

After making thorough preparations, Fang Zhou mounted Tiamat and rushed toward the Demon Tower gathering point at lightning speed. Along the way, a steady stream of well-equipped, fierce-looking elite military teams also headed toward the Northern Wilderness. Obviously, they shared the same mission goals as Fang Zhou. Compared to these military teams, which numbered from several dozen to over a hundred, Fang Zhou stuck out, being alone.

However, when these elite military warriors saw Fang Zhou’s face, they immediately understood. Having battled in Beast Fighting City for over half a year, Fang Zhou’s terrifying combat prowess as an Undead Mage—a one-man army—had long been recognized through countless battles. Except for a few newcomers, no one doubted his capabilities.

Upon leaving the vicinity of Beast Fighting City, Fang Zhou, wanting to maintain speed, did not summon slower-moving units like Corrupt Hatreds or Corpse Warriors. He only summoned dozens of Ice Remains Earth Dragon Knights to guard him and then activated a Frenzied March. Along the way, Fang Zhou also sorted through his equipment, Marvels, and Skill configuration.
