Chapter 36: The Most Comfortable Battle

[5th Wave, Your Overall Strength: 1st Tier Champion, Wild Monsters: 2nd Tier Walking Corpses x 1000, Undead Hero Unit x 1]

"Ah, undead don't consume food, so recruit as many as possible, right!"

"But speaking of it, when did my overall strength get evaluated as 1st Tier Champion? I remember I was a 1st Tier Elite before."

Although he didn't know when the evaluation was upgraded, Qin Muye speculated that it was probably related to the birth of Evil Language Sprite.

"1st Tier Champion facing 2nd Tier units. Now that it's confirmed these wild monsters are from the surrounding undead forces, if it was a spawn from 'Lord Era,' I would be facing 1st Tier Champion monsters."

For the indigenous creatures, champion-level units, or as they called them, subordinates, were almost heroes. The number capable of being developed into heroes was scarce; how could they appear in a systematic manner?

Hero quantities might not be low, but they couldn't be found everywhere. Hence, facing 2nd Tier monsters was inevitable.

"Do champion-level units have to fight above their tier? Luckily, I have Evil Language Sprite; otherwise, I would be in trouble today."

Hero plus 2nd Tier walking corpses, considering his small territory, was impossible to resist.

[Hero: Sels·Molly LV15]

[Profession: ???]

A large figure similar to an abomination emitted a corpse aura. Qin Muye felt like he was facing a butcher at a meat stall. The difference was that this "butcher" held a staff instead of a knife.

Sels did not charge forward like the previous undead hero but led 1000 walking corpses to observe Qin Muye from a distance.

"A group of weak creatures, an apprentice mage? How dare you kill my sister!" Sels's voice was loud, and as he spoke, numerous cracks appeared under his bloated skin, emitting a green poisonous mist.

"???" Qin Muye didn't expect that this abomination and the previous skeleton were from the same family. Would there be ghosts or corpse witches coming next?

"Initiate a surprise attack, kill him first, and then chat with the other side!" Qin Muye decisively gave the order.

Chat? In such a good opportunity, not initiating a surprise attack would be unreasonable. How could he have the time to chat when the other side mentioned killing his sister first? Why didn't he mention that it was the other side who started trouble?

Moreover, who knows if the other side is trying to delay time? Knowing that the opponent is holding a staff indicates that, despite the appearance similar to an abomination, it is actually a mage.

So, it's possible that the opponent is trying to divert his attention.

Magical Blood led the charge, activating Bloodlust to accelerate the attack. Qin Muye targeted the opponent's head, launching a fire-type Magic Divine Arrow.

Evil Language Sprite became even more audacious, casting curses such as Curse Affliction, Weaken Curse, Disintegration Ray, etc. All the magic was thrown out. Under the influence of his own Curse Aura and Death Curse Aura, the attack and defense of the opposing walking corpses and undead hero immediately dropped to the extreme.

"How is this possible!" Sels exclaimed with disbelief.

This was called killing with precision. Not only did he want to kill him, but he also planned to dig out his heart and cook it.

Magical Blood took the lead in the assault. The Bloodlust made one slash on the walking corpse, instantly splitting it into two.

Qin Muye didn't waste any time; he cast Magic Divine Arrows while Evil Language Sprite, with its negative effects, further weakened the enemies. The hero target was Sels.

Magic Divine Arrows were like a machine gun, continuously firing. The opponent had a shield similar to yesterday's, but the intensity was higher, probably doubled.

Unfortunately for the opponent, Qin Muye had more mana today. Four Magic Divine Arrows were enough to break through the shield.

Subconsciously wanting to chant a spell to escape, but unfortunately, it required casting time. Qin Muye's attack speed was so fast that, before two seconds passed, he was bombarded by a large number of Magic Divine Arrows, leaving him riddled with holes, even the head exploding.

"Today's battle is so satisfying!" Qin Muye collected the magic. He didn't actually cast many spells; most of them were thrown by Evil Language Sprite.

Without the hero presiding, this group of walking corpses had already been severely weakened by the plethora of negative states from Evil Language Sprite.

2nd Tier units were indeed present, but they couldn't withstand the reduction of 25 attack points and 21 defense points, especially with these weakening effects continuously increasing.

Standing beside Qin Muye, Evil Language Sprite continuously shot projectiles, attempting to transform his magic spheres into rays or AoE attacks. He was doing quite well, though not yet proficient.

However, Qin Muye didn't demand too much. Evil Language Sprite's attack power was genuinely low, with minimal damage against units. The main value lay in his normal attacks that began to reduce attributes, and the effects could stack.

So, Evil Language Sprite had no choice but to become a support-type hero. Right now, Qin Muye was short on manpower, which is why he brought Evil Language Sprite into battle.

In the future, when more heroes were available, he would find a place to hide, then use regular attacks.

If he didn't want to fight, he could stay in a safe area, providing auras to reduce the enemy's attack and defense.

With Evil Language Sprite's auras, Qin Muye was confident in winning prolonged battles.

"I never thought that one day I would be able to fight against higher-tier enemies. Heh heh!" Qin Muye couldn't help but sigh.

The 1000 walking corpses were quickly eliminated, but the damage was not small. After their deaths, they exploded, creating a green poisonous mist.

Fortunately, Qin Muye's position was downwind, so the mist drifted away.

This poison mist, compared to yesterday's Death Curse, was less formidable. Even Bloodlust creatures or Magic Blood creatures only received a minor poisoning effect, and it had a time limit. Qin Muye could easily heal them.

As for today's abomination mage, he didn't explode as decisively as yesterday's, dying rather promptly.
