The terminated skeleton mage

Among numerous books, he found an incomplete notebook of a necromancer.

In this book, he discovered a solution to his problems: to turn himself into an undead, so that he would never have to worry about food again, and could achieve immortality.

He was a man of action. First, he transformed the basement of his mansion, which was originally used to hide from war, into a huge underground space for his undead transformation.

Then, he used the remaining knights around him as test subjects, turning them into undead first.

However, what he didn't know was that the notebook he obtained was missing an important part, which led to a crucial mistake.

Although he successfully turned into an undead, there was a huge flaw.

He had to fall into a deep sleep regularly to maintain his state.

While he was asleep, there was a problem with the magic circle.

As food supplies dwindled, the people of the count's domain died off one by one. Hungry and angry, the crowd burned down the count's castle, and the underground magic circle was also affected, beginning to endlessly absorb the breath of death and convert it into death energy.

Many of the people who were still alive in the count's domain were gradually turned into undead like the count himself.

The entire count's domain fell into silence, which was the origin of the Skeleton Wasteland.

At this moment, the necromancer was using secret techniques to repair the injured skeleton knights, and he didn't notice what had happened above.

However, as the red coffin lid opened, he realized that something was wrong. The sleeping skeleton knights couldn't come down without his permission.

Could it be that those strange humans with green blood had broken in again?

He hadn't seen a human in hundreds of years. He had originally intended to spare her life, but she stole his precious books.

Although they weren't the most important ones, he was so angry that he killed her with a disintegration ray.

Later, he saw two more people, but they were trying to kill his skeleton knights, which were one of his most important forces.

So he had to let them die.

Now, let me see who is challenging the dignity of Count Hammond.

At this moment, Lao Tan Suancai also happened to walk down, and the man and the undead stared at each other.

Suddenly, the necromancer took the initiative to use undead magic to immobilize Lao Tan Suancai in place.

Just like that, Lao Tan Suancai was imprisoned by the necromancer.

After a long time.

Lao Tan Suancai struggled to open his eyes and found himself in a place that looked like an experimental table. His hands and feet were completely out of control, and there was no chance of escape.

Suddenly, a harsh voice came from his ear: "Stop struggling, I have given you a paralyzing potion. You won't have a chance to escape for two or three hours. Human from another world?"

Although the voice was unintelligible, Lao Tan Suancai understood its meaning. However, he hadn't reacted yet.

The skeleton mage muttered to himself, "I clearly used the Language Comprehension spell on him, why isn't he talking? Could it be that he hasn't woken up yet?"

Saying that, he wanted to check if Lao Tan Suancai had woken up.

The bony hand was about to touch his face.

This startled Lao Tan Suancai, and he quickly spoke up: "Skeleton brother, I'm awake, awake."

"Hmph, good that you're awake. Confess honestly, where are you from?"

"Otherwise, I'll make you feel what true pain is," the skeleton mage said in a fierce tone.

Although the skeleton mage's voice was somewhat strange, Lao Tan Suancai understood its intention. His eyes turned, and he came up with a plan.

On the regional forum, he posted about his situation.

His teammates, who were anxiously waiting outside, learned that he had been captured by the BOSS and was now being severely tortured.

His enthusiastic teammates helped him brainstorm ideas.

"Brother, why don't you use your charm? Try the beauty trap," suggested one.

"The person above is too outrageous. What if the skeleton used to be a man? In my opinion, you should first make up a story..." said another.

"That's even better," Lao Tan Suancai thought to himself.

The skull mage stared at him for a long time but got no response, "So you are a warrior. It seems that I have to use some tricks to make you talk."

The skull mage was just about to start when Laotan Suancai quickly blurted out, "I'll talk. We are from the Valoran continent. Demacian General Garen led us to reconnoiter this world."

"If you don't believe me, you can go up and have a look. Our army is camping not far from here. Our general is very powerful. His 'Judgement of Justice' is known as the Might of Demacia, and no one can stop him."

After hearing this, the skull mage thought for a while with his decaying head. If he's a general, then he must have a lot of men under his command.

There's a chance that he can't defeat so many people, so he decided to stay in the graveyard.

He only has one skeleton knight left.

It's not advisable to go out.

Seeing that the skull mage had no intention of going out, Laotan Suancai had to send a message to the people outside to initiate the second plan.

Su Su looked at the message from Laotan Suancai and the situation in the underground graveyard on the regional forum. She looked at the surrounding players and said solemnly, "It seems that we have to use the second plan."

"Wait for the first group of new players to go first and consume its skills, and then...."

Su Tongxin was making the final mobilization for the players, while Su Su also sent a message to Laotan Suancai, asking him to keep an eye on the skull mage's movements.

Laotan Suancai was bored at that moment, so he opened the live broadcast room and wanted to chat with the viewers.

As soon as he opened it, viewers flooded in.

Looking at Laotan Suancai's pitiful appearance, the viewers ridiculed him.

"What game is the streamer playing?"

are you dying?"

"The game is so realistic. What is this skeleton doing?

Laotan Suancai's body was stiff and he couldn't move. He listened to the viewers' descriptions and quickly informed Su Tongxin that the skeleton mage might be brewing potions. The potion it used to control him might have been brewed in the same way.

Su Tongxin and the others received the news and realized that they couldn't delay anymore, so they ordered the attack to begin.

The first group of players were newcomers who had just joined the game today. Their main purpose was to serve as meat shields to absorb the skeleton mage's skills. According to the general game settings, the mana of such minions was always limited.

They soon descended into the tomb's passageway. Since the skeleton mage was still on the lower level, the hall was quickly occupied by the players. At this moment, more players arrived.

One by one, the players rushed to the entrance of the next level, adjusted their sensitivity to 10%, and desperately charged downwards. The skeleton mage was intimidated by this onslaught.

Although it cooperated with the skeleton knights to kill these players, the knights' mobility was greatly reduced in the narrow underground space, forcing them to engage in direct combat with the players.

The skeleton mage continuously threw poisonous potions beside them, causing toxic smoke to emerge from the ground and inflict negative buffs on the players.

Fortunately, each player had restoration potions and managed to endure the attack.

At this moment, there were too many players, and the skeleton knights were quickly overwhelmed.

The skeleton mage wasn't too worried because it still had a trump card.

After a skeleton knight killed a player, it also fell.

The remaining players and the second group of veteran players began their next round of attacks.

This time, they were even more cautious. The front line was equipped with armor dropped by the skeleton knights. Although it didn't fit well, it could still resist the attacks of the skeleton mage.

Meanwhile, Laotan Suancai, who was lying dead beside them, recovered and saw an open book on the lab table. Following the players' tradition, he touched it and it was immediately stored in his spatial backpack.

The second group of players pressed forward step by step.

They were about to get close to the skeleton mage.

Unexpectedly, the skeleton mage chanted a spell, and a layer of bony shields emerged from the ground, protecting it.

At this moment, the skeleton mage looked down on them and said, "You strange people, who dare to defeat me. Behold my magic, Revival of the Dead."

The skeleton mage used its last bit of mana to chant the most evil spell in the Necromancer's Notebook, which could temporarily turn the dead around it into undead creatures and obey the caster's commands.

At this moment, the dead players received a message.

"The skeleton mage is attempting to resurrect your body. Do you agree?"

Thanks to the protection of the World Tree, the players' souls were safe from harm, even from half-god level undead creatures.

The players all chose "No."

In the end, the skeleton mage exhausted its last bit of mana but achieved nothing. It was finally disarmed, had its limbs broken, and a stinky sock was stuffed in its mouth to prevent it from casting spells again.

Su Tongxin emerged from behind the players and stared at the skeleton mage, which was now just a torso and a head. She viciously stabbed it in its vital spot with her sword.

She spat out angrily, "I'll kill you for killing me this morning. I'll kill you for what you did to me."

The surrounding players watched this scene and realized that some women were not to be messed with.

In the end, the skeleton mage left with a puzzled expression. It couldn't figure out how this woman, who it had killed earlier, had come back to life.
