Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Undead Soldiers, Orcs



The corridor still had wandering Water Fog Demons.

But their numbers were significantly reduced.

Pfft...

-1

-1

...

Several water arrows struck John, each forcibly deducting a single health point.

In just half a day, his mental attribute had increased by over a thousand points, making the Water Fog Demons' attacks ineffective against his defense.

As John advanced, he tried to destroy the surrounding passages.

Boom!

Thunderstorm hit the corridor, reverberating with a tremendous roar. The area trembled, but the spot hit by Thunderstorm remained unscathed, only causing strong winds to gush from the depths of the passage.

The exit of the corridor was still further ahead.

They continued onward.

John stopped again, frowning as fierce winds howled around them.

The wind seemed to be coming from a wall.

This wasn't the first time he encountered this in the passage, but he hadn't paid it much attention before.

Tracy moved forward and, to her surprise, her arm passed through the wall easily. "Old man, this wall is fake," she exclaimed.

John was equally surprised. He cast Rock Armor once more, covering his entire body. "Stay close to me," he instructed the women.

They nodded, following closely behind John as they passed through the wall.

Whoosh!

Cold winds howled, accompanied by eerie screeches.

The three of them found themselves in a hall shrouded in mist, surrounded by Water Fog

Demons.

Whoosh, whoosh...

Arrows of water shot toward them as the Water Fog Demons launched their attack.

John stood at the forefront, waving his staff and casting Rain of Fire.

Agonizing screams echoed as the Water Fog Demons writhed in the flames, being swiftly exterminated.

Notifications continuously popped up, and equipment and items scattered across the ground.

The drop rate for Water Fog Demons here seemed unusually high.

The endless flames spread, raising the temperature of the hall significantly.

One by one, the Water Fog Demons disintegrated in the sea of fire, their numbers dwindling rapidly.

"Hiss!" Suddenly, a hiss echoed, and the mist surged. A huge, ferocious water dragon roared out, extinguishing the surrounding flames instantly.

It was a mid-level magic spell, Water Dragon Technique!

Mid-level magic could only be cast by 100-level or higher, four-tier monsters.

John fixed his gaze on the depths of the mist, where a massive Water Fog Demon floated into view.

It was a 100-level, four-tier elite boss, the Water Fog Demon Leader.

"Finally, a formidable foe!" John's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Boss monsters could be Plundered for more powerful attributes.

Moreover, his Wrath of the Gods talent needed to be upgraded by killing ten four-tier or higher elite bosses.

This big guy fit the bill perfectly.

John initiated the attack, casting two Thunderstorms in quick succession.

Boom!

Boom!

-18000

-17980

Terrifying damage numbers flashed.

The Water Fog Demon Leader looked terrified. Despite having fifty thousand health points, it was almost instantly killed by the human.

"Hiss!"

Another hiss sounded, and the surrounding Water Fog Demons madly surged forward, merging into the Water Fog Demon Leader's body.

Devour!

The Water Fog Demon Leader's health quickly recovered, and its body grew even larger.

John was a bit surprised. "I'd like to see how many Water Fog Demons you can devour," he

said.

Magic spells whizzed through the air, and several powerful magic attacks rained down.

Boom, boom...

The Water Fog Demon Leader let out a hiss, and its health rapidly depleted.

This time, John didn't give it a chance to recover and finished it off.

"Intruder detected!"

"Kill!"

"Protect the princess!"

...

Shouts echoed through the hall, arrows flew, and spells surged as a cavalry unit charged

forward.

The Undead Soldiers launched their attack first.

John was instantly engulfed in a barrage of arrows and spells.

Boom! Boom!

-1

-1

...

Pathetic damage numbers flashed.

The Undead Soldiers' attacks were too weak to penetrate his defense.

John remained cautious; there were too many Undead Soldiers, and one round of attacks cost

him over 3,000 health points.

Thankfully, Sini and Tracy had not followed; they wouldn't have been able to withstand the

onslaught.

Whoosh!

He activated his skills. Rain of Fire engulfed the area, and the ground trembled, severely hindering the soldiers' charge.

[Killed Level 90 Undead Soldier, gained 170 experience points] [Plunder talent activated,

Strength +1]

[Level up, Spirit +4, Strength +3, Agility +2, Free Attribute Points +16, Skill Points +2]

...

John reached Level 61.

Upon reaching the fourth tier, each level up granted 16 free attribute points.

However, the experience required to level up was enormous.

To reach the next level, John needed 520,000 experience points.

...

He swept through the area, the Level 90 Undead Soldiers crumbling under his powerful magic.

With a 60% skill cooldown reduction, his skill casting was almost continuous.

In just a few minutes, over 3,000 Undead Soldiers were slaughtered in the hall.

John's four basic attributes had increased by over a thousand points, significantly boosting

his strength once more. Confirming there was no more danger, he messaged Sini and Tracy to join him.

The two women entered the hall, gazing at the floor littered with corpses, expressing their

awe before silently beginning to clean up the battlefield. "John, there are Orc corpses here too," Sini called out, alerting John.

Judging by the freshness of the corpse, it seemed the Orc had died not long ago.

Just then, sounds of battle echoed from deeper within the palace.

"Let's go check it out," John instructed, swiftly collecting the loot before heading toward the

source of the commotion.

...

A group of about a hundred elite Orcs was being driven back by the Undead Soldiers.

These elite Orcs, at level 100 and boss-tier, were far stronger than the Undead Soldiers.

However, both the undead soldiers and the mist wraiths belonged to the category of wraith creatures and had higher physical damage resistance.

This elite group of Orcs were all physical damage classes, completely countered by the undead

soldiers, making them no match.

"Adventurers!" The Orc chieftain leading the group spotted John and his companions, his

eyes lighting up.

Any adventurers who could enter here were undoubtedly powerful, especially a mage who

could counter these spectral enemies.

"Help us!" the Orc chieftain pleaded. "Adventurers, let's cooperate. The treasure in the Secret

Area will be all yours!"

John crossed his arms, taking on a stance of merely watching the spectacle, showing no

intention of intervening.

The Orc chieftain, growing desperate, let a flash of malice cross his eyes. These adventurers

clearly intended to profit from their struggle without lifting a finger.

"In that case, we'll deal with you first!" he bellowed, redirecting his troops to attack John and

his companions.
