Undead Mage from a Cell-Chapter 556 - 554: Kill

The green pillar of light erupted, and the Death Dragon Breath hit the Puppet Chef at the first moment.

Then the Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon realized he missed, for the truly powerful aspect of the Puppet Chef was not in the chef itself, but in that rat.

However, the Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon wasn’t stupid. He lifted his head, and the Death Dragon Breath moved upwards.

But it was already too late. The moment the Death Dragon Breath hit the Puppet Chef, the rat shrank back, and the Puppet Chef wore a chef’s hat, protecting the rat inside.

Unless the Puppet Chef dies, no harm can reach the rat inside.

Moreover, Gu Xi and his team could figure out that even if they killed the Puppet Chef, if the rat fell out, Gu Xi couldn’t find the boss among so many rats.

"Death God, drag the enemy aside to fight, Bone Dragon, deal with these rats and kill them all."

Gu Xi immediately assessed the situation.

And understood the enemy’s next move.

Now the only thing to do is to have someone drag the Puppet Chef aside and deal with the rats here first.

The chef is hard to handle, so use the Death Incarnation to deal with it. The rats are easy to handle, so the underlings need to speed up.

Upon receiving the order, the Death Incarnation - Death God immediately charged towards the Puppet Chef.

The Puppet Chef slashed towards the Death Incarnation - Death God, but Death God countered with a sword, blocking the blow.

At the same time, three curses fell on the Puppet Chef.

Although the Puppet Chef is a puppet, curses work universally, and their effect would manifest once on him.

With each curse released by Death God, the enemy’s combat power was weakened, while his long sword in the right hand kept attacking, defending against the Puppet Chef’s kitchen knife.

Every strike from the opponent was incredibly powerful, capable of cutting between bones.

If one isn’t quick to react or lacks swordsmanship, they might not even manage to dodge, and would be shattered into pieces.

The Death Incarnation - Death God had to keep moving and using certain tactics to neutralize the enemy’s attacks.

Fortunately, Gu Xi’s other troops were effective, having initially killed most of the rats.

The remaining rats were too agile, creating chaos in the kitchen while some still eluded capture.

These conditions were initially not detrimental to the ensuing battle, but Gu Xi worried that if any rats remained, it would cause issues even if the Puppet Chef was killed.

So Gu Xi decisively took action himself.

"Death Ripple!"

As the Death Ripple spread, all the scrambling rats paused.

Gu Xi’s Undead immediately lunged towards the rats, with some hidden ones also revealed by the effect of Death Ripple.

The Undead Corps, especially the Battlefield Ghosts, quickly eliminated all the rats here.

And Gu Xi was not idle, casting the Death Ripple several more times, his gaze constantly searching for any remaining rats.

Once certain no other rats survived, Gu Xi signaled his subordinates.

Following Gu Xi’s command, the Death Incarnation’s eyes widened, and the Melting Light hit the chef hat atop the Puppet Chef’s head.

The Melting Light had the effect of destroying any object; although it wasn’t as handy as the Death Dragon Breath, it had its unique effects in certain situations.

Under the two beams of Melting Light, the chef’s hat melted away, revealing the rat beneath.

The rat understood that with its abilities, it was no match for the two Death Incarnations.

The only tactic left was the Puppet Chef.

If this covering was lost, death was certain.

So, regardless of other concerns, it controlled the Puppet Chef to leap, attempting to overtake the Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon and topple it.

But it didn’t expect that the Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon had been with Gu Xi for many years.

The number of setups on the body was unknown; at this time, the initial target of the Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon was the numerous weak chefs.

Therefore, the installed setup was Crystal Storm.

After using up the Death Dragon Breath, the Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon didn’t retreat for a swap.

The current outer setup remained as Crystal Storm.

The moment the Puppet Chef leapt up, it fully activated Crystal Storm.

Numerous dust-like crystal fragments entered through the breached surface of the Puppet Chef’s body.

These crystal fragments were so tiny that the rat had no way to stop them.

As the crystal fragments entered the Puppet Chef’s body, they rapidly wore down its mechanical parts.

The Puppet Chef, originally moving fast, slowed significantly, eventually showing distinct signs of stalling.

This was a great opportunity, and the Death Incarnation - Death God, already frustrated, seized it immediately, his longsword piercing directly into the Puppet Chef’s body.

With the Death Incarnation emerging, the fearsome sword trait’s guard line was already illuminated.

With long-standing augmentation, the longsword in the hands of the Death Incarnation - Death God had achieved an indefinable attack power.

Previously, unable to match the enemy’s speed, the fearsome fang’s effect had not been utilized.

But now it was different; the Puppet Chef’s movements had slowed, providing the opportunity needed by the Death Incarnation - Death God.

With a single thrust, the sword pierced the Puppet Chef’s body, and then the fearsome fang swung up and down, each stroke splitting open the Puppet Chef’s form.

Finally, with a backward sweep, the fearsome fang sliced from the Puppet Chef’s neck, decapitating it.

Typically, with such puppets, even decapitation would mean little.

But control of this puppet was in the hands of the rat nestled in its hair.

The rat, with the head severed, could no longer control the puppet, and as the head rolled on the ground, the rat was ejected.

The Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon, seeing this from the sky, without hesitation, unleashed a Melting Light.

The rat, upon hitting the ground, intended to flee.

But the Melting Light was too swift, and as it merely started to move, it was struck.

In the next instant, the rat’s flesh melted away, leaving only bones behind.

Gu Xi thought the rat might undergo some transformation, anxiety rising, until a sound signified the end, allowing Gu Xi to breathe a sigh of relief.
