Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 586 - 407: Six Major Buffs, a Brand-New Golden Mount!

Gu Yueyuan didn’t have time to lament his losses. He could only stare in shock at the newly appeared enemy, and slowly squeezed out a few words.

"Mutated Demon Swamp Frog!?"

In the distance, Fang Zhou was also somewhat surprised.

Although the creature’s size had been magnified many times over, its body was wreathed in unnatural flames, and its head and feet showed clear signs of modification and enhancement, he could still tell what it was. Even its metallic sheen, which clearly indicated high Defense Power, couldn’t hide its origins: this creature was once a Demon Swamp Frog.

Even the way it leaped several meters into the air, flicking its tongue relentlessly as it pursued Gu Yueyuan’s insect swarm, was identical to that of a Demon Swamp Frog!

From the Demon Catalog class at Sea City Military Academy, Fang Zhou knew that the Magma Demons loved to combine various creatures with machinery, magic, and Demon Power to create all sorts of bizarre things. While he didn’t know when they had captured the swamp’s native Demon Swamp Frogs, this metal-plated, flame-wreathed Fiery Demon Swamp Frog was clearly one of their creations—and a very successful one at that.

Ordinary Demon Swamp Frogs were merely Apprentice-level Units, with elite ones reaching the Black Iron level. However, their racial Combat Power Coefficient ranked low among creatures of the same tier, making them only slightly stronger than common Skeletons and Zombies. But this modified Fiery Demon Swamp Frog was different. It had evolved from a small to a large creature, causing its racial Combat Power Coefficient to grow explosively. It not only possessed the strength of a lower Black Iron-level creature but likely also had an elite prefix; otherwise, its combat power wouldn’t be so outrageous.

After a moment of shock, Fang Zhou reacted quickly. He took a deep breath, and wielding his Undead Magic Ball, prepared to give it his all.

"Skeleton Cage!"

As he cast the spell, several eerie White Bone Chains erupted from the ground beneath the Magma Demon Warriors still battling Olaf. Since the demons were maintaining a tight phalanx, the entire group was caught within the spell’s effect. The chains quickly wrapped around their legs.

Caught off guard, two of the Magma Demon Warriors instantly lost their balance and collapsed in a heap, struggling to get back up. The ear-piercing scrape of their armor against the ground made for a pathetic sight.

The remaining Magma Demon Warriors couldn’t help but roar in anger. The bone chains, imbued with various control effects, felt as if they were gluing their feet to the ground. Their already slow movement speed was reduced even further, and now, there was no way for them to shake off Olaf.

Seeing this, Ye Yinzhu was overjoyed and began to sing with even more vigor. His song resonated across the battlefield. Though it was ineffective against Undead Creatures, it significantly boosted the morale of the Thunderfire Squad members. The members of the Thunderfire Squad also gathered their courage and took the initiative, coordinating with Liu Diewu and Zhang Wu to unleash a fierce assault on the Magma Demon Warriors who had fallen to the ground.

The Magma Demon Warriors’ Heavy Armor granted them formidable Defense, but once they were knocked down, it was incredibly difficult to get up without help. To maintain their formation, however, the other Magma Demon Warriors couldn’t lend them a hand. The situation had momentarily turned in their favor.

However, Fang Zhou’s expression remained calm even as he watched the distant Gu Yueyuan being hounded into a sorry state by the Fiery Demon Swamp Frog; he only sped up his spellcasting. He believed that with Gu Yueyuan’s strength, especially after having just switched his Lifebound Gu Insect to the Withered Leaf Butterfly, he would have no problem ensuring his own safety under the Fiery Demon Swamp Frog’s pursuit. His task now was to use the time Gu Yueyuan was buying them to break open the front lines and secure a decisive advantage.

"Rotting Aura!"

Fang Zhou waved his hand to cast the spell, and a ghostly blue aura spread from his Magic Ball, covering the entire battlefield. The aura not only weakened the Magma Demons’ defense but also accelerated the decay of their bodies, making them more vulnerable. Cracks began to appear on their armor, and signs of rot surfaced on their skin, slowing their movements. They roared in agony but couldn’t escape the invisible corrosion.

"Poison Cloud Skill!"

The toxic fumes quickly ate away at their armor and skin. The sounds of coughing and roaring were incessant. Some Magma Demons even started to collapse, unable to rise again.

"Skeleton Shock Wave!"

"Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear!"

As Fang Zhou cast his final spells, several sharp Bone Spears descended from the sky, precisely striking the Magma Demons’ vital points. The spears not only dealt massive damage but also carried a strong corrosive effect, causing the demons’ wounds to worsen rapidly. A mixture of blood and magma stained the ground red.

After a few flashes of light, several of the Magma Demon Warriors who had been holding the line were instantly killed, and Olaf was finally freed from the encirclement.

Fang Zhou waved his Undead Magic Ball, gathering the power of the Undead Coronation and focusing it on several Zombies. He had them take Olaf’s place, pinning down the beleaguered Magma Demon Warriors. Once freed, Olaf followed Fang Zhou’s command and decisively turned his spear on the Magma Demon Leader that was recklessly attacking Gu Yueyuan.
