Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 326 [Harvest Ritual] Charging, Black Iron Breaks Limits!

Chapter 326 [Harvest Ritual] Charging, Black Iron Breaks Limits!

"Quick, even if he has skeletons, with so many of us, he can't hold out for long."

Mo Zishu's face was gloomy, and his voice was full of anxiety.

He realized that with the skeletons as cover, the Ark's counterattack had become even more unrestrained.

When dodging attacks, Ark still has many things to consider.

But under the cover of the skeletons, apart from spells from the sky, linear attacks could hardly hit him.

However, Ark can unleash its attacks without restraint.

His attacks are terrifying. For squishy classes, once they are directly hit by the Bone Spear, coupled with the area-of-effect damage of Death Ripple, they can basically be killed with just two skills.

Even for warrior-type classes wearing heavy armor, an average of three Bone Spears can kill a heavily armored class.

As Ark continued to deal damage, the line of skeletons around him became even more solid.

However, these contestants were already blinded by rage.

This battle has evolved from a fight for a portable meditation array into a contest of dignity.

They knew that the Ark was receiving special attention and was the focus of everyone on the main screen.

If we back down now, we simply cannot face ourselves and others.

Therefore, even under such unfavorable circumstances, they persevered and were determined to capture the Ark.

Suddenly, Fangzhou's gaze fell on a student wearing a cloak.

The person looked somewhat familiar. Fang Zhou quickly stopped his casting and aiming motions, a hint of doubt arising in his mind.

"The Ark, it's us!"

Bai Xiaochun ripped off her hood, revealing her face, and at the same time used a sonic shockwave to knock the students blocking their way off balance.

"Damn it, what are you doing?" the contestant turned around and said angrily.

"I'll kill you." Meng Hongzhuang unleashed a thorny vine, instantly immobilizing the student.

"Die." Ye Fan's arrow and Gu Zhi Qiu's wind-powered missile arrived one after another.

The student, who had already suffered a shockwave attack, collapsed to the ground after being hit by three consecutive attacks.

"Home, reinforcements are here!"

A nearby participant shouted.

However, upon seeing the squad's formidable lineup, he decisively stepped aside.

The group from Haicheng Military Academy officially joined forces with Fangzhou.

As more and more participants entered the courtyard, the competition became increasingly intense.

By this time, a number of skeletons had gathered around Fangzhou, and his score had soared due to the continuous kills in a short period of time.

The courtyard was in complete chaos.

Although the Ark can hold this place for the time being, the rift is no longer a concern.

The contestants kept pouring in and then joined the melee in the courtyard.

Even the giant shield skeletons around Ark were falling one by one under the constant attacks, the attacks were just too dense.

If Ark hadn't been constantly suppressing the enemy with bone spears and death ripples, and continuously summoning new skeletons to replenish his ranks, he probably would have been overwhelmed by the sea of ​​people long ago.

However, the fragile skeleton archers had almost no chance of survival.

The scene was so chaotic that the skeleton archers were immediately attacked as soon as they were summoned, and they could hardly survive.

"The necromancer army is still not fully formed; it seems we still need to keep working hard." He sighed as he attacked.

In his understanding, the appearance of a necromancer is accompanied by a storm of necromancy powerful enough to engulf everything, suppressing the enemy so that they cannot raise their heads.

Surrounding him were a bunch of skeleton warriors and skeleton archers, forming a combat group capable of standing still and fighting in any environment.

However, the current situation is that he mainly relies on the skeletal skills he deduced to stand firm in the melee.

However, Ark doesn't need to think that far ahead right now.

He has many strengths that can make up for his shortcomings in various aspects, thus giving him time to make up for these deficiencies.

Freeing himself from his chaotic thoughts, Fangzhou quickly adjusted his mindset and focused on the battle at hand.

Bai Xiaochun and the others came to his side and quickly formed a team.

"Most of you are ranged attackers, so use these skeletons as cover and try not to peek out."

"Especially for those in support roles, you should stay further away and provide treatment based on the situation," Fang Zhou said.

In reality, with the skeletons providing cover and the bone shield providing protection, the Ark was largely unharmed under these circumstances.

However, Bai Xiaochun and her group definitely couldn't do that; having a super healer is still very important.

"You judge people by their appearance, don't you? If you don't show your skin, you think I'm a burden."

Bai Xiaochun picked up her apprentice-level accordion, and as she plucked the strings, a beautiful melody filled the air.

Fangzhou checked his status and immediately noticed that his attributes had increased significantly.

Each different melody is accompanied by a different blessing.

The others also silently applied the buffs, making Ark's attack power even more explosive and its defense significantly improved.

This is the benefit of having a team; it can elevate the Ark's combat power to a whole new level.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you two to be able to work together so well so quickly," Fang Zhou praised, feeling much more relaxed.

He continued to command the skeletons, using them as cover, while constantly suppressing them with bone spears and death ripples.

With the support of various buffs, Ark can also kill heavily armored classes with two bone spears.

As the battle continued, the number of skeletons in the Ark had exceeded one hundred.

This left Meng Hongzhuang speechless, exclaiming, "Who's the summoner here, you or me?"

As a natural summoner, and a contestant who mainly focuses on pets, Meng Hongzhuang found that she had been far surpassed by Fang Zhou in both the quantity and quality of her summoned creatures, which made her very frustrated.

However, with the skeletons of the Ark taking the hits, they no longer needed to worry about straight-line attacks.

With the addition of skeletons to block melee attacks, the Ark's squad members displayed terrifying combat power.

Although Meng Hongzhuang's attack power is not strong, her pet is very unique and not as useless as she said.

Her pets formed a natural obstacle on the battlefield, hindering the enemy's movements.

However, even with their fierce firepower, the situation remained unfavorable as more and more participants joined the fray.

If it weren't for the limited space in the courtyard, which slowed down the entry of the students through the crack, Fang Zhou and his companions would have been overwhelmed by the sea of ​​people long ago.

Even so, the situation remains far from optimistic.

As time went on, the contestants became bloodthirsty and launched attacks without regard for anything else.

As the number of Ark members increased, the formation seemed to be in grave danger.

The students watching the game were completely empathized with Ark's side, and the vast majority of them were worried, feeling that Ark had reached its limit.

Even at the Haicheng Military Academy, Liu Diewu and Gu Yueyuan continued to explain and analyze the situation.

They also didn't have high hopes for Ark, because there were more and more participants from outside the area.

"Are these people all crazy? Why are they working so hard for a portable meditation array?"

Gu Zhi Qiu's forehead was already beaded with sweat.

The opponent's offensive became increasingly fierce, and the pressure to clear the area also increased.

If it weren't for the skeletons on the Ark constantly taking the hits, they would have been swallowed up by the sea of ​​people long ago.

"These people are technically skilled, but they're a bit slow on the uptake. There's no turning back now," Meng Hongzhuang said as she released vines to entwine the group.

"Why do you say that?" Bai Xiaochun still didn't understand.

"It's very simple. They were fooled by the military academy principals without even realizing it, and now it's too late."

Yue Lingyun explained, "The portable concentration meditation array was used by one hundred recruits in the new recruit competition. Among them, dozens of people thought they could kill the Ark boss and obtain the portable concentration meditation array."

Okay, let's assume that even if the Ark boss is killed, there's only one of them.

In this dangerous city, they were blinded by the so-called reward.

"Hmph, these people, each of them thinks they are the protagonist and that they can obtain a portable concentration meditation array."

However, there are always clever people. While they were busy searching for me, these clever people had already started accumulating points.

They can no longer surpass them.

In other words, most of them were destined to be losers.

As Fang Zhou spoke, his hands did not slow down; he continued to hunt down these students.

"That's right, they're like gamblers who have lost a bet, realizing they can't make it into the top ten of the leaderboard, so they have no choice but to go all in."

Because they killed the Ark, there's also a portable meditation array to fight over.

"If they don't even have portable meditation arrays anymore, they'll really lose everything." Meng Hongzhuang sighed, truly worried about their intelligence.

"These lunatics have completely given up on themselves."

We retreated up the steps of the main hall, realizing we couldn't hold on any longer for the next phase of our plan.

Fangzhou's forehead was also sweating; he was getting a little tired from constantly casting spells.

Just as some people analyzed, the contestants who wasted time searching for the Ark have gone completely mad.

They had no way out; killing the Ark meant they could still fight over a portable meditation array.

If they fail to kill Ark, they will be complete losers in the recruit competition.

Now, even with the skeleton army protecting them, the situation is no longer safe.

As more and more participants join the fray, the number of rare professions that master ultra-long-range spells also increases.

Although the participating students did not deal much damage to the Apprentice-level Skeletons, and most of it was area-of-effect damage, even ants can kill an elephant if there are enough of them, and the situation had become extremely dire.

The Ark crew, who had been comfortably dealing damage, now had to start dodging area-of-effect attacks again.

At Fangzhou's suggestion, the Haicheng Military Academy squad fought their way back while being protected by nearly a hundred skeletons.

Students like Bai Xiaochun, who hadn't seen much of the world and lacked practical experience, were momentarily flustered.

As the backbone of the Haicheng Military Academy team, Fang Zhou remained calm and composed.

He looked at his attribute panel.

The previously dim [Harvest Ritual] rune resonance has now been fully charged, radiating an extremely dazzling light.

During this long battle, all creatures that died under the Ark's spells and the skeleton army, whether monsters or students, were transformed into energy for the [Harvest Ritual] rune resonance.

Now, Ark can activate this runic resonance, which has never appeared in the world before, at any time and feel the enormous increase in power it can bring.

Based on Ark's current mental attributes, and considering the attribute boost provided by [Harvest Ritual] that can break through tier barriers, Ark may have the opportunity to experience the terrifying power of a Black Iron-level necromancer ahead of time.

Fang Zhou looked up at the chaotic battle before him. Now, under the siege of other military academy students, the skeleton defense line he had summoned was on the verge of collapse.

Due to the depletion of their mental and physical strength, the attack power of Meng Hongzhuang, Ye Fan, Gu Zhi Qiu, and others gradually weakened.

This leads to a vicious cycle where killing becomes endless.

"We can't keep dragging this on."

Ark observed every corner of the battlefield, searching for the best way to break through.

"We must find a safe place as soon as possible, otherwise our defenses will completely collapse."

Hearing Fang Zhou's words, Bai Xiaochun calmed down a little. She knew she couldn't hold back at this time.

"Where do we go?" she asked.

"Heading towards the main hall, the open space there will allow us to utilize our long-range advantage."

Fangzhou said, "Moreover, we can use the terrain for defense."

The members of the Haicheng Military Academy team naturally had no objections.

Seeing the opposing students desperately attacking them, Fangzhou's eyes turned cold. It seemed it was time to activate the [Harvest Ritual].

He focused his mind on the attribute panel, connecting it to the rune resonance.

Then, a tremendous, warm power surged forth from the resonant array formed by the fusion of the three world runes: [Night Watch], [Heart Steel], and [Gallows], and flowed into every part of the Ark's body.

"【Harvest Ritual】 has been activated. Based on the level of charge, Strength attribute +3, Agility attribute +3, Constitution attribute +3, and Spirit attribute +5."

"His mental attributes have exceeded the limit of the apprentice level and have entered the limit-breaking state."

Under the powerful effect of the [Harvest Ritual] rune resonance, Ark's spirit attribute successfully broke through 10 points, temporarily breaking through the level limit of the Apprentice rank and entering the pseudo-black iron lower rank state.

This was also the first time Fangzhou had used the [Harvest Ritual] rune resonance, and he was not sure what kind of benefits it would bring.

Guided by his instincts as a legal professional, the powerful spiritual force within Fang Zhou began to spin rapidly in his mind.

Fang Zhou was slightly taken aback, as this was a situation he had never encountered before.

However, based on the previous instruction from his instructors, Fang Zhou quickly realized that this was the process by which an apprentice-level mage condensed an invisible core of magical power.

At the same time, this is also the only way for apprentice-level mages to break through bottlenecks and advance to the Black Iron level.

It can concentrate the spiritual energy scattered throughout the body into the depths of the mind, completing the qualitative transformation from spiritual energy to magical power, forming an invisible energy core.

This is an important mark of becoming a Black Iron Rank mage.
