Chapter 175: Self-Destructing Death Incarnation
Seeing Gu Xi's Bone Storm about to hit the giant wight leader, the giant wight finally reacted.
He raised his wooden club, preparing to sweep away the undead troops surrounding him once again. This time, he must scatter the encroaching undead forces.
Only in this way would the wight forces have a chance to drag the battle into their most familiar territory.
But at this moment, the Death Incarnation descended from the sky, turning into a black mist and crashing into the giant wight leader.
The crystal storm within the Death Incarnation's black mist continuously struck the wight leader's skin, each hit taking away part of his life.
The wight leader clearly felt that he was no match for the Death Incarnation. The only reason the Death Incarnation was pushing him back rather than lifting him into the sky was due to his excessive weight, which the Death Incarnation couldn't manage.
Understanding this, the giant wight leader saw an opportunity to kill the Death Incarnation.
He threw his wooden club away, grabbed the dragon head of the Death Incarnation with both hands, and tightly pressed its head against his chest.
Even though the crystal storm kept hitting him, he didn't react.
Meanwhile, the wight leader floating with balloons noticed the situation.
He immediately saw the opportunity. Without needing the giant wight leader to say anything, he floated to the Death Incarnation, continuously pulling new balloons from the white baboon-skin bag and stuffing them into the gaps in the Death Incarnation's bones.
At this moment, Gu Xi was controlling the Bone Storm to strike.
Seeing the Death Incarnation being held down by two enemies, Gu Xi became anxious. He raised his Frost Staff and pointed it at the sky.
The wight leader who was sneak attacking the Death Incarnation was struck down by a bone spear from Gu Xi.
The bone spear not only pierced the wight leader but also burst one of his balloons.
This changed the situation for the wight leader.
His mummified body inflated like a balloon, and the balloons stuffed into the Death Incarnation's bones did the same.
Although Gu Xi didn't understand the wight leader's condition, he could guess that these balloons were about to explode.
Gu Xi quickly calculated his mana.
Finally, he made a decisive decision.
"Bone Storm, clear the path for me!"
Then Gu Xi released at least forty Bone Storms in one go, controlling them to charge at the areas with the most wights.
This action exhausted Gu Xi.
But he didn't stop there. Glancing at the Death Incarnation entangled with the two wight leaders, he shouted loudly.
"Death Incarnation! Dissolution Ray!"
The Death Incarnation understood Gu Xi's command. Its body twisted rapidly, the black mist retracting into its body, revealing its already metallic black skeleton.
Gu Xi could now see that several large balloons were stuffed between the Death Incarnation's ribs, inflating rapidly and ready to burst at any moment.
But there was no need to wait for the balloons to explode. As the black mist retracted into the Death Incarnation, its body began to flicker with a rapid light.
The giant wight leader holding the Death Incarnation was stunned. Sensing something wrong, he tried to let go, but it was too late.
With a loud boom, the Death Incarnation exploded in the giant wight leader's arms.
The powerful explosion, accompanied by shock waves, toppled everything around it.
The two wight leaders at the center of the explosion were blown to pieces on the spot.
Most of the nearby wights were also blown away.
The undead were in better condition. Although they were blown away, they quickly got up from the ground and reorganized.
Seizing the opportunity from the big explosion, Gu Xi, lying on the evil coffin, charged to the front, followed by the reassembled undead troops.
Initially chaotic, the undead quickly regrouped under the command of their leaders.
Gu Xi didn't expect to find himself at the forefront after the explosion.
He could only press his forehead to alleviate the impact of the Death Incarnation's death and pulled a bottle of magic potion from his pocket.
The wights also got up from the explosion.
After enduring Gu Xi's Bone Storm and the Death Incarnation's self-destruction, the ten thousand-strong wight army had suffered about sixty percent casualties.
Only three or four thousand wights remained, and they were in considerable disarray.
Among these wights, their strength ranged from level 3 to level 11.
After the explosion, the stronger wights were the first to rise, followed by the weaker but luckier ones.
Thus, when Gu Xi faced the wights, he found them stratified.
The two wights at the front were the strongest in the wight army, powerful soldiers at level 11.
Following them were about three hundred elite wights at levels 8 and 9.
Behind them were ordinary wight soldiers at levels 3 to 7.
This contrasted sharply with Gu Xi's troops.
Gu Xi had placed his weakest cannon fodder undead at the front and the elite troops at the back.
As the two forces were about to clash again, many thoughts flashed through Gu Xi's mind.
"Skeleton Priests!"
Finally, Gu Xi used his remaining mana to summon two Skeleton Priests.
With the appearance of the two Skeleton Priests, Gu Xi's mana dropped to single digits.
Gu Xi brought the magic potion bottle to his lips and scanned the battlefield for targets.
He quickly spotted several wight leaders among the wight ranks.
After the Bone Storm and the Death Incarnation's explosion, only three wight leaders remained.
One of them was hiding at the back of the wight ranks.
It was unclear whether this leader was meant to be a last resort or for some other reason, but there was always one wight leader present in every battle.
He was a monk with a bamboo hat, a white baboon skin draped over his body like a kasaya.
With each step he took, a wight would rise from the ground.
Gu Xi believed that if given enough time, this monk could resurrect all the wights present.
As for the other two, Gu Xi also noticed them. The white baboon skin was too conspicuous to ignore.
Gu Xi hesitated for a moment but decided to target the monk.
After all, his presence could change the course of the battle.
As the wight monk took a step forward, Gu Xi pointed in his direction and shouted, "Death Incarnation!"
