Chapter 1911: Chapter 1911: On the Dao
Iron Stone Demon!
Although various Iron Stone Demons look different, when such a figure appears next to the Necromancer, it is undoubtedly an Iron Stone Demon.
This Stone Demon’s entire body seems to be forged from white bones, although it appears bony, it shines with a metallic luster.
The whole being resembles a huge white-boned gorilla, though it lacks distinct facial features.
The sizes of its bone spurs vary, almost covering its entire body, indicating it is a bone demon with enhanced counterattack abilities. At this moment, it stands like a gorilla with its limbs on the ground, right in front of Feng Yi, who is rapidly chanting incantations without a scratch.
While magma flows over the Iron Stone Demon, it firmly protects the space underneath its head, not affecting Feng Yi’s spellcasting in the slightest.
As a summoning type, the strength of the Stone Demon is influenced by multiple factors.
The Iron Stone Demon is a very special sacrificial summon, primarily influenced by the attribute bonuses between the summoner and the summoned creature.
Secondly, the summoning medium comes into play; the Iron Stone Demon does not appear out of thin air but requires sacrificing equipment to summon.
When skill levels are low and there are no strengthening runes, in the early stages, the special effects of equipment can impact the type of Stone Demon summoned. As the skill reaches the maximum level, even though the influence weakens, the quality of the equipment as the summoning medium can still greatly influence the Iron Stone Demon’s quality.
Additionally, a higher skill level will also affect the quality and attributes of the summoned Stone Demon.
Finally, there is the rune enhancement, which is a qualitative reinforcement. The Iron Stone Demon can be strengthened in multiple directions, but the core focuses are on defensive specialization, defensive magic specialization, resistance specialization, aura specialization, and the Necromancer’s favorite, counterattack specialization Stone Demons.
A formidable Iron Stone Demon can return over 50% of melee attacks to the opponent and, as the quality of the Stone Demon increases, it can completely counterattack the opponent and accumulate power to cause widespread damage when a certain level is reached.
This is the mainstream play style for Necromancer Stone Demons, and Feng Yi is no exception.
Because under certain conditions, when dealing with low-intelligence, non-magical animal-type monsters, the Stone Demon alone can farm them en masse.
One could say, the Necromancer’s Stone Demon, lacking mobility, is the most solid barrier, the core pet of a Necromancer, without a doubt.
To gauge the strength of a Necromancer, one need only look at their Stone Demon.
Upon seeing this Stone Demon, the crowd gasped; it is clearly a counterattack type Stone Demon but lost hardly any health despite such a ferocious attack, with the health bar decreasing insignificantly.
This is a faction-level Stone Demon, although its grade is not visible, experienced specialists can generally assess it.
As the saying goes, experts know at first move; the initial confrontation made both parties aware of each other’s strength, increasing their vigilance.
The audience too is extremely excited; this is undoubtedly a clash of titans.
With Feng Yi’s chanting, the surrounding ground continually trembles.
One by one, white bone arms reach out from underground, then various skeletons emerge, each forming into squads of five in mere moments.
Unlike common Necromancers whose skeletons are scattered, these skeletons did not attack immediately but gathered together.
Each squad consists of a shield-bearing Skeleton Tank, a Bone Scythe-wielding Skeleton Warrior, an Ice Skeleton, a Flame Skeleton, and a Toxic Skeleton.
Five skeletons make up a squad, highly organized, resembling a player squad.
With Feng Yi’s chanting, under the incredulous gazes of the players, dozens of such skeleton squads formed around Feng Yi as the center. It was akin to a small military regiment.
Just this spectacle left many players in awe, laymen found it thrilling while experts like Edward appeared gravely concerned.
To chant incantations while controlling these skeletons to organize, such powerful spiritual power transcends even a bit from hers, and this likely isn’t Feng Yi’s limit.
Edward even began to consider what cost would secure her spiritual power training methods from Li Yao.
Although she holds herself in high esteem, never looking down on others, she also doesn’t belittle herself, believing it’s a difference in methods rather than innate potential compared to people like Starfire.
“Dance of the Fiery Weave!”
The figure in mid-air, akin to a Goddess of Flames, began to dance vigorously, her feet illuminated by a runic array that glowed with eerie radiance.
As the light flickered and she danced, one shadow after another appeared, making it impossible for viewers to discern which was the true body.
Just as mages with Mirror Image, a good mage uses mirror images to confuse opponents, making it hard for enemies to distinguish real from fake, gaining an upper hand in fleeing or launching continued attacks.
Yet the skill aided by this Array is evidently extraordinary, duplicating not just the figure but the Array itself.
More terrifyingly, one becomes two, then two become four,
the four figures eerily surround Feng Yi and her Skeletal Army in a center-focused formation, with one shadow in each direction, then doubling again, swiftly encircling with fiery shadows.
Dozens of voices from the Temple of a Thousand Gods’ Presidents uttered simultaneously: “Power of Flame, endless and continuous, turning sky into a boiling sea.”
The blue rays nearly illuminated the sky, though it took a while to describe, all changes were completed in a very short time.
So quickly that Feng Yi’s skeletons hadn’t launched their first attack yet.
Endless flames relentlessly emerged from the sky and ground, covering everything.
“Tide of Skeletons!”
Feng Yi’s incantation suddenly ceased, as various bones emerged from the ground. Normally, these bones define the opponent’s arena but can significantly weaken their spells and attacks at this moment.
Simultaneously, the organized Skeletal Army began its assault.
The melee skeletons handled defense and blocking, while the ranged skeletons commenced spellcasting.
Skeleton Mages have few spells, generally with one active and one passive for basic skeletons.
However, with skill level and rune enhancement, the number of spells increases, with each Skeleton Mage differing according to their preferences and needs.
Feng Yi emphasizes rapid leveling; therefore, her focus is on massive damage, even group-damage priority,
meaning both melee and ranged skeletons possess group-damage skills. Although melee may not harm foes, ranged can, for they have shielded themselves while exchanging bombardments.
The contest is to reveal each other’s true selves first.
Amidst the fire’s overwhelming spread, the skeletons split into three types; Ice Skeletons learned Blizzard, Ice Arrow, and Ice Bomb. Flame Skeletons mastered Fireball, Flame Explosion, and Rain of Fire. Toxic Skeletons know Poison Arrow, Acid Rain, and Curse.
Nevertheless, Feng Yi didn’t forfeit without sacrifice, foregoing Assassin Skeletons, Archer Skeletons, and Beast Skeletons, pursuing order and regiment formation…
