Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone Chapter 608 - 418: Defense-Breaking Divine Skill, A Brand Ne

A series of damage numbers popped up in quick succession. Although the damage from each hit was low, the attack frequency was extrely high. Even as a Black Iron Elite, the Fallen Bear Monster wouldn’t last more than a minute under such a high-frequency attack.

Fang Zhou was a bit surprised. Even if this Fallen Bear Monster crossed that line and nullified so unknown defensive buff, its Defense Power shouldn’t have dropped so drastically all at once.

Was it because it chose a Bear Spirit incarnation that wasn’t skilled in defense? Or perhaps it was because it had been thrown, injuring it in the process? Or maybe, it was because of the skill it had just used? Once it drank blood and ate flesh, it boosted its attack power and speed at the cost of so of its Defense Power. That seed very plausible!

Thinking of this, Fang Zhou imdiately gave a decisive order, "Hong Yang, take everyone and retreat another twenty ters!"

During the previous battle, he had observed that so Bear Monsters, in a state of extre anger and unable to bear the harassnt from his ranged units, would cross that line. But at most, they only crossed it by a few ters. If it weren’t for the fact that both sides’ lee units were entangled at the ti, Fang Zhou theoretically could have eliminated the opponent without taking any losses.

Now that Fang Zhou had increased the distance to twenty ters, under normal circumstances, these Bear Monsters shouldn’t chase them. If they wanted to deal with Fang Zhou’s group, they would likely need their leader to throw them!

Except for the Skeleton Bats and Harpies who were still engaged with the remaining Fierce Mantises, Liu Diewu and the others imdiately ceased their attacks and chose to retreat. Although Hong Yang had his doubts, he had already handed over the authority of captain and the right to distribute items to Fang Zhou, so he chose to comply without another word.

At this mont, the distant Fallen Bear Monster leader seed to have regained its strength after the throw. It roared again, grabbed a nearby Bear Monster, and hurled it over.

"I will punish your reckless actions!"

BOOM! With another loud thud, a second Fallen Bear Monster landed successfully, crushing a group of Skeleton Warriors.

Having just heard Fang Zhou’s instructions, Liu Diewu imdiately fired a Natural Fury Spear. She then discovered that her damage had skyrocketed.

Exchanging a look with Fang Zhou, they both ca to the sa realization.

The problem likely wasn’t the Fallen Bear Monster’s blood-drinking, flesh-eating ability, but the fact that it had been thrown and had taken damage in the process!

With this new understanding, their next battle would probably be much smoother. The plan was simple: use only ranged attacks, wait for the enemy to throw the Bear Monsters over, and then swarm them!

Although Bear Monsters possessed basic intelligence, their tactics were quite rigid, and they weren’t good at thinking. This was especially true for these Fallen Bear Monsters, who, due to so unknown corruption, had been overwheld by a brutal, mindless bloodlust.

Just as Fang Zhou and the others had speculated, the Bear Monsters halted in their tracks once they reached a certain line. This created the perfect opportunity for the Skeleton Archers to fire at will.

However, Fang Zhou was even busier than they were. Not only did he have to continuously consu mana to maintain the Brutal Aura, enhancing the ranged lethality of the Skeleton Archers, but he also had to personally cast spells, conjuring one Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear after another for precise, single-target strikes.

However, even Fang Zhou’s Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear was largely ineffective against the strongest Fallen Bear Monster. Whenever it faced an attack, it would grab a nearby Bear Monster as a at shield and emit a puff of purple-black mist. The severe wounds on a Bear Monster hit by a Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear rapidly recovered within that mist.

This was clearly a powerful healing skill, leaving Fang Zhou feeling sowhat helpless. Although this group of Fallen Bear Monsters’ tactics wasn’t as good as the Magma Demons he had encountered yesterday, their individual strength was definitely superior.

Considering the Fallen Bear Monsters’ extrely low poison resistance, Fang Zhou experintally cast Poison Cloud Skill a few tis. However, these Corrosive Poison Series skills were also annihilated by the purple-black mist the leader released.

This instantly snuffed out his idea of taking out the leader first. The imdiate priority was to kill the minions first and then see if any other options presented themselves.

During this process, the Fallen Bear Monster leader naturally swelled with anger. But it also adhered to that invisible rule, doing its best not to cross the line.

After all the Fierce Mantises were killed, all it could do was throw its minions over again and again. Unfortunately, not only was its aim poor, but against a team that was already prepared, how much of a storm could a single Fallen Bear Monster—a Black Iron Elite with reduced Defense Power, at that—possibly stir up?

It couldn’t even last thirty seconds before being sward and killed by the Sea City Military Academy cadets. This only made the Fallen Bear Monster leader even more furious. However, it had no other choice but to continue this futile line of attack.

Under these circumstances, the number of Fallen Bear Monsters kept dwindling.

This was the first ti Fang Zhou had ever fought such a bizarre battle. He was growing more and more interested in whatever it was these Bear Monsters were guarding.

But these Bear Monsters were indeed tough nuts to crack, and they occupied the special terrain of the forest. No wonder the Eagle Mother, Destiny, who commanded so many Harpies, had temporarily tolerated their existence.
