Global Game: Crazy Mobile App-Chapter 86 - 84: Skeleton Mage
This time, a total of four skeletons appeared.
The leading skeleton boss was dressed in a tattered robe, holding a White Bone Staff.
This is the Skeleton Mage that Hang Yu specifically pointed out, looking no different from an ordinary skeleton at first glance.
But upon closer inspection, you will find that the Undead Flame in the Skeleton Mage’s eyes burns much more brightly and vigorously than that of a normal skeleton, surrounded by a faint yet perceivable energy aura, which is obviously not something a minor monster can possess.
The other three little skeleton brothers are also not simple; each is as tall as a person, dressed in worn armor, holding a broken shield in one hand and a rusty metal Long Sword in the other. Compared to their wretched counterparts outside, they can be considered the middle class of the Skeleton Realm.
"Be careful."
"These three with sword and shield are Skeleton Soldiers."
"They cannot be underestimated either. Although they are just level 4 ordinary monsters, they are significantly stronger than same-level skeletons. Not only does their damage capacity is high, but they also have a ’Soldier Charge’ skill that can quickly initiate an attack on enemies."
"Of course, the most troublesome part is, the Skeleton Mage has an ’Undead Awakening’ skill that can continually resurrect Skeleton Soldiers, making them very troublesome to deal with."
Young Master Cong couldn’t help but interject: "So according to you, the Skeleton Mage is a bit stronger than a Ghoul as an Elite Monster, and even these three ordinary Skeleton Soldiers can each take on two? How can we beat this!"
Silver Elite Monsters are surely stronger than Bronze Elites.
The team already had trouble fighting Ghouls.
Now they not only have to face a stronger Skeleton Mage, but also deal with three incredibly strong, combat-skilled, infinitely revivable minor monsters?
Their combined strength is probably close to an Elite Monster!
How can this fight be won?
Young Master Cong, a game enthusiast in the real world, knows that Mage-type bosses are usually the most troublesome, and such a combination of Mage and Warrior in long-range and close combat will multiply the difficulty.
Jiang Nan still kept his faith.
More accurately, he had confidence in Hang Yu.
He said, "I believe if the Great God brought us in, there must be a way to handle these monsters."
Zhang Xiaoqiang hurriedly added, "Right, right, right, there’s no monster the boss can’t handle, especially now that the boss is already level 4 and has put on a brand new outfit with frighteningly high Magic Defense."
Zhao Ming directly asked, "How do we fight this time?"
The team of four had fought together many times.
They trust each other and have great synergy.
Old Zhao is an adventurous entrepreneur by nature, and the Corpse Witch Temple clearly promises great rewards. Now that they are already here, there’s no question of backing down!
Fighting monsters with Hang Yu.
He never asks what kind of monsters there are or how many.
He just needs to know when to fight and how to fight!
Hang Yu immediately started to strategize.
"The Skeleton Mage has three troublesome skills: Ghost Fire Chaotic Dance, Explosive Skull, and Undead Awakening."
"Among them, Ghost Fire Chaotic Dance is a highly damaging skill, but its attack range is very short, only about five meters. With my current Magic Defense, I can withstand this attack."
"Explosive Skull is rather troublesome. Every few seconds, it summons a skull that flies and has a large range of motion. It has Physical Attack capabilities and can cause Magic Damage through self-detonation; Xiaoqiang can destroy it from a distance with Air Arrow."
"As for Undead Awakening, as I just mentioned, the Skeleton Mage can only summon three Skeleton Soldiers at a time, so there’s no need to eliminate these three Skeleton Soldiers. Old Zhao, your task is to suppress them..."
Hang Yu’s strategy was straightforward.
He planned to single-handedly charge and duel the Skeleton Mage.
Old Zhao, Xiaoqiang, and Young Master Cong were tasked with holding the Skeleton Soldiers in check.
Jiang Nan would adapt to the situation, ready to support Hang Yu or the other three at any time.
This might sound challenging.
Because even a slight error could result in a team wipe.
Hang Yu was full of confidence; as long as the Skeleton Soldiers were contained, he had full confidence to deal with the Skeleton Mage. Otherwise, why come here?
If he couldn’t handle even the Skeleton Mage, how could he hope to challenge the Corpse Witch BOSS in this place? He’d be better off not coming!
Couldn’t have come all this way just to kill a few Ghouls?
That would be too unambitious, and no better than a salted fish!
Hang Yu equipped all-new weaponry. The level 1 Light White Equipment Forest Long Saber was clearly outdated, so he armed himself with the level 4 Dark White Equipment Ghoul Bone Spear that dropped from killing Ghouls earlier.
This weapon was pretty decent.
Not only did it have higher Physical Attack power,
but it also added 2 points to agility, far superior to the Forest Long Saber.
Hang Yu’s current agility boosts were minimal, and the Ghoul Bone Spear was a good addition. He also handed a Root Entanglement Scroll to Zhao Ming, in case of an emergency situation.
"Follow the tactical plan!"
Hang Yu signaled with a gesture.
Old Zhao stepped forward first.
The four skeletons immediately noticed the intruders.
The Skeleton Mage halted, its eyes flickering with ghost fire, gently waved the Long Staff, and five or six fist-sized green ghost fires immediately appeared around it, circling with a seemingly intelligent motion.
Ghost Fire Chaotic Dance!
If you get within five meters of the Skeleton Mage or launch a long-range attack on it, it will automatically counter with ghost fire, which does terrifying damage, posing a risk of one-shotting level 3 Combat Professionals with weaker Magic Defense.
The three Skeleton Soldiers moved out.
They activated the Soldier Charge skill.
This allowed the Skeleton Soldiers to burst into double sprinting speed, evident from their combat stance that these Skeleton Soldiers were of a totally different caliber than those outside.
Zhao Ming immediately retreated.
The three Skeleton Soldiers were lured together.
During this process, Old Zhao received at least three sword blows.
Fortunately, there was skill Defense; otherwise, he would certainly have been heavily injured.
Young Master Cong quickly cast Hurricane Cage, which, compared to when it was level 1, had increased the cage’s coverage area by one or two square meters, perfectly holding two Skeletons, while Zhao Ming tangled with the third.
Xiaoqiang stayed in place, ready to assist at any time.
Hang Yu charged out with Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan stopped five meters away from the Skeleton Mage.
Hang Yu, holding a shield in his left hand and a bone spear in his right, charged at the Skeleton Mage like a wild bull, raising his Long Spear for a frontal attack, piercing into the Skeleton Mage’s body, shattering two ribs instantly.
Dealing 8 points of damage!
The prowess of a level 4 character and level 4 weapon is indeed impressive!
The Skeleton Mage was forced back, hitting the courtyard wall with a thud, forcibly pinned against the wall by Hang Yu!
The Skeleton Mage is not so easily handled.
It wouldn’t let itself be pinned there without resistance!
The green fireballs surrounding the Skeleton Mage automatically activated, hitting Hang Yu one after another like a string of firecrackers, each Ghost Fire impressively powerful.
Even Old Zhao couldn’t withstand for a few seconds.
But they seemed powerless against Hang Yu.
-3, -2, -3!
This amount of damage was nothing to Hang Yu, as he had already consumed a Life Potion before the battle, with the potion’s effect now active.
The 2 points of Life Recovery each second,
were enough to offset most of the damage.
What’s more, Jiang Nan was always ready to provide support?
These attacks not only failed to threaten Hang Yu but continuously triggered the Elf Breath effect, allowing Hang Yu to stack amplification up to five layers, increasing All Attributes by 25%!
Now there were no worries at all.
He used the shield to corner the Skeleton Mage and, with the Ghoul Bone Spear in reverse grip in his right hand, relentlessly stabbed at the Skeleton Mage.
The Skeleton Mage seemed like a weak and helpless little girl at this moment.
Hang Yu, in contrast, was a rogue brute forcibly pinning it against the corner of the wall.
The Skeleton Mage attempted to escape several times but was pushed back each time, utterly helpless.
