Chapter 998 - Retrea (1/2)

As for the one before them, although it was only a Ghost Behemoth, a Behemoth that lost its body and had its melee abilities decreased, its ability to endure injuries had been greatly increased, and physical attacks were almost completely ineffective against it. Its magic resistance was also far superior to Behemoths, so it was a very troublesome opponent.

Dedale burst out with all his strength, displaying power comparable to a Heaven Rank powerhouse, and he could temporarily fight the Ghost Behemoth to a standstill. But he could only keep it in a stalemate, and nothing more.

Dedale’s burst of orange flames didn’t inflict much damage. He could only slowly grind at the death aura covering the Ghost Behemoth’s body. And the death aura there was almost as thick as the Death Aura of the Undead Plane, so wanting to shave it away was simply a joke.

And the Ghost Behemoth only had close-range abilities, so it couldn’t approach close enough when suppressed by spells even if it kept charging. This was a deadlock.

But there wasn’t just the Ghost Behemoth there; the biggest threat was that rushing tide. The endless Undead Beastmen were the true threat.

Most of their power was focused on the Ghost Behemoth, meaning that there wasn’t much power aiming at the back and holding back.

Everyone withdrew while casting. After ten minutes, that Ghost Behemoth was still chasing like a mad dog, continuously charging with more and more Undead Beastmen in tow.

Suddenly, Lin Yun’s expression changed.

The ant-like army had suddenly become orderly.

The most numerous Undead Beastmen slowly arranged themselves into a formation. They set up like long, serpentine rows with some distance between them. That distance made it impossible for them to run into one another.

And the empty spaces between the teams of Undead Beastmen were set aside for the stronger Undead creatures. Teams of Wolf Riders and Skeletal Kodos were frantically charging through those cleared aisles, their speed doubled.

Those Undead Beastmen would usually be piled together in a mess, and many of them would be trampled by the ones behind them.

If the High Level Undead, if they wanted to rush out, they would have to cut a path through the fodder, slowing them down.

But now, everything became organized. Even the mindlessly flying Skeletal Wyverns started assembling into formation as they flew towards the ground together.

One after another, Undead Beastmen got onto the Skeletal Wyverns. There were also Skeleton Archers, Skeleton Spear Throwers, and Death Warlocks. After pairing with the Skeletal Wyverns, they instantly transformed into a large group of Undead Flying Riders.

A large number of Bone Arrows and Bone Spears fell from the sky. At the same time, the leather-wearing Death Warlocks, whose eyes shone with green flames, were continuously casting Death-type spells.

There was a clear change among the Undead, and everyone could clearly understand that this meant huge trouble. An existence that could lead the Undead had appeared.

And sure enough, in the back of the Undead army, a short, mummy-like Undead Beastman wearing a dilapidated robe was holding a pale bone staff in one hand and a moss-green skull in the other.

“Another Heaven Rank, and this one is a Death Shaman!” someone from the Odin Kingdom screeched in alarm as everyone flinched.

A Death Shaman, an existence that led Undead Beastmen. A Heaven Rank Death Shaman could absolutely control all the Undead here, including that Ghost Behemoth.

A swarm of Undead creatures rushing forward like headless chickens couldn’t compare with a similar group controlled by a commander. They weren’t on the same level at all.

The latter could display at least three times the fighting power of the former!

And this was without counting the power of the Death Shaman itself.

Before anyone could react, that Death Shaman floating in the air waved its short bone staff, and a black, ashen halo spread open.

In an instant, all the Undead Beastmen enveloped by the halo let out angry roars. Their wretched white bones were covered in a layer of ashen black light.

Their crazy charging speed instantly tripled as their aura converged together and formed a large cloud of death in the sky.

“Sh*t, Mass Death Blessing! That guy can actually buff over a hundred thousand of the Undead.” Enderfa’s three faces were horrified.

“A Support Death Shaman, sh*t, we have to hurry and flee.”

Lin Yun frowned. This matter was troublesome. It would have been a bit better if it had been a combat-focused Heaven Rank Death Shaman, but it was unexpectedly a Support Death Shaman.

It had given up its physical abilities to maximize its ability to command others. Its fighting strength was shown by all those Undead Beastmen.

The spells it could use were all spells that could buff the Undead.

This was the most troublesome part, because the Death shaman could make those brainless Undead display five to ten times their original fighting strength!
