Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone Chapter 174: Watching from the Sidelines, Fang Zhou’s Judgme

Ye Fan held his Blade Bow with both hands and struck straight at the formidable Giant Bear Vini like a shooting star.

As ng Hongzhuang’s most powerful animal companion, Giant Bear Vini played the crucial role of a tank. Its Strength and Constitution attributes were astonishing, but its Agility Attribute was quite ordinary. Coupled with its massive, bulky fra, Giant Bear Vini had no way to avoid Ye Fan’s Vengeful Strike. It could only roar and swing its giant claws to et the attack.

With a thunderous boom, the Blade Bow and the bear’s claws t in a violent clash. This was the first head-on collision since Ye Fan and ng Hongzhuang began their battle.

However, the outco was naturally a victory for Ye Fan. His strike forced the massive Giant Bear Vini back several steps and left a deep, bloody gash on its claw.

Ye Fan crouched slightly, feigning a move to break out of the encirclent. The Big Mountain Cat Nidalee, which had been harassing him from the side, naturally wouldn’t let him succeed. After a few leaps, Nidalee circled to Ye Fan’s side, trying to buy ti for Giant Bear Vini to recover.

Got you!

Ye Fan smiled coldly, expertly drawing his bow and nocking an arrow. A gray light clung to the arrowhead as he shot it with lightning speed toward the pouncing Big Mountain Cat Nidalee.

Blinding Arrow!

This was a rare semi-control skill for the Demon Hunter profession at the Apprentice Stage. The Blinding Curse attached to the arrow could plunge a creature it struck into a state of temporary blindness.

Big Mountain Cat Nidalee twisted in mid-air. While it avoided being hit in a vital spot, the Blinding Arrow still struck its right leg. The power of the curse attached to the arrow imdiately shrouded Nidalee’s vision, plunging it into darkness.

The blinded Big Mountain Cat naturally understood that it had beco a living target for Ye Fan. It wled in panic a few tis. It no longer dared to pounce forward and instead rolled desperately to its back-right, trying to avoid Ye Fan’s potential pursuit.

Strike while it’s weak and finish it!

Wielding his Blade Bow, Ye Fan charged forward, intending to kill Big Mountain Cat Nidalee on the spot. Of course, there were protective asures in the arena. If a combatant was judged to have lost the ability to fight, a protective Barrier would activate and they would be considered eliminated.

ng Hongzhuang would not just stand by and watch her main War Beast be so easily defeated. She utilized her summoning connection with Big Mountain Cat Nidalee, controlling it to evade Ye Fan’s pursuit. At the sa ti, she swiftly swung her Magic Staff and cast the Jungle Entanglent skill.

This exclusive Control Skill of the Natural Summoner profession bore so resemblance to the Vine Technique that Fang Zhou had referenced during his deductions on Skeleton Shackles. As ng Hongzhuang expended a substantial amount of her Spiritual Power, countless vines and flowers sprouted from the ground at Ye Fan’s feet. Releasing waves of an intoxicating floral scent, the robust vines wrapped tightly around Ye Fan like a cage, montarily halting his pursuit of the Big Mountain Cat.

The restrained Ye Fan rely smirked, revealing a signature smile akin to Long Aotian.

ng Hongzhuang, I’ve baited out your control skill. How will you deal with the Fallen Heaven Strike to co?

He calmly swung his Blade Bow, cutting through the layers of the vine cage while secretly calculating the optimal distance to unleash Fallen Heaven Strike.

ng Hongzhuang’s expression turned solemn when she saw this. In battle, Control Skills and Displacent Skills often have long cooldowns, making them crucial trump cards that can decide the victor. For her, a Control Skill like Jungle Entanglent shouldn’t have been used so early. The optimal ti to use it would have been to interrupt Ye Fan’s Fallen Heaven Strike.

Unfortunately, if she hadn’t decisively cast Jungle Entanglent just now, her beloved Big Mountain Cat Nidalee would have been severely injured and forced to withdraw from the battle. Without the agile Big Mountain Cat to harass him, she would be left with only the cumberso Giant Bear Vini, and defeat would be inevitable.

The instructors and students in the stands could clearly see the shifting tides of the battle. For a mont, it seed as though Ye Fan was trapped in the vine cage, but he had subtly regained the upper hand on the battlefield.

ng Hongzhuang had rich combat experience and was extrely decisive. Since she had already cast Jungle Entanglent, she had to make full use of the situational advantage the Control Skill provided. While Ye Fan was temporarily restricted, she mobilized all her Spiritual Power. Waving her Magic Staff, she cast the Withered Wood Revives skill.

A vast swathe of vibrant, erald-green light showered down upon Giant Bear Vini and Big Mountain Cat Nidalee.

The giant bear, which had been weakened by Ye Fan’s Vengeful Strike, roared in satisfaction as its bloodied right paw rapidly healed within the green light. Big Mountain Cat Nidalee also shook its head. The dark mist obscuring its vision dispersed slightly, allowing it to vaguely make out light and shadow.

Just then, Ye Fan unleashed another Vengeful Strike, finally tearing an opening in the vine cage created by Jungle Entanglent.

Invigorated, the bear and the cat charged forward again. For a mont, the arena once again beca a scene of fierce battle.

Standing below the stage, Fang Zhou watched the battle between ng Hongzhuang and Ye Fan. A faint glint appeared in his eyes as he made a basic judgnt. In terms of Spiritual Power and stamina consumption, Ye Fan was clearly superior to ng Hongzhuang. Unless ng Hongzhuang had another ace up her sleeve, Ye Fan could simply continue his steady assault, find an opportunity to unleash Fallen Heaven Strike, and secure victory with a single, decisive blow.

Fang Zhou looked at ng Hongzhuang, wondering just how effective the Natural Crown skill his little assistant had just learned would be.

The two fought back and forth on the arena stage for over ten minutes. Ye Fan was drenched in sweat and covered in scars from claws and fangs. He had completely severed all the Jungle Entanglent vines that once bound him.

Giant Bear Vini was in an even more tragic state. Its chest and abdon were dripping with blood, covered in slashes from the Blade Bow. Big Mountain Cat Nidalee, after taking a Vengeful Strike from Ye Fan, already lay severely injured on the ground, barely breathing.

The two porcupines beside ng Hongzhuang were utterly exhausted, collapsed on the arena. Having expended all their quills, they had lost most of their combat effectiveness.

Ye Fan and ng Hongzhuang exchanged a look, their eyes filled with determination. Both were exhausted. The outco would be decided in this next move.

Answering its master’s call, the blood-soaked Giant Bear Vini roared and lunged at Ye Fan. Simultaneously, ng Hongzhuang raised her Magic Staff high, and another brilliant green light shot towards Ye Fan.

It was another Jungle Entanglent.

She had little choice. As a Natural Summoner, ng Hongzhuang had pitifully few direct attack spells to learn at the Apprentice Stage. Furthermore, the common skills available to Magic Professionals at the Apprentice Stage were not very powerful. Therefore, she had temporarily abandoned Direct Damage Skills entirely, dedicating all her energy to the Cultivation of buffing skills like Furious Howl, Natural Crown, and Withered Wood Welcos Spring.
