My Summons Can Learn Skills - Chapter 51
Chapter 51: Three-Phase Arrow
“It has a very high Strength, probably above 30 points!”
Aman hurriedly warned them loudly after being caught by Bo Guang, who had reached out from behind.
Magical creatures with a single attribute higher than 30 points posed a great threat to them.
At that moment, the Level-17 zombie left the other two high-level zombies to block the doorway and took the initiative to pounce forward, its eyes cold and vicious, as if it wasn’t taking the Bloodsucker Team seriously.
As soon as the zombie lord moved, the situation immediately took a sharp turn for the worse.
Aman lost his light shield and could no longer tank at the front.
Although Demon Huntress Arrowhawk was at a high level and had activated her bloodline, she had focused on enhancing long-range attacks, so she couldn’t tank either.
Feeling desperate, Bo Guang, who was enhancing himself on the path of an agile swordsman, could only step forward and try to use his speed to surround and pin down the zombie lord.
However, after taking only a glimpse, he realized he was in a precarious situation.
There was clearly a gap between the zombie lord’s Agility and its Strength, but it was still a cut above only Level-8 Bo Guang!
The tall zombie lord grabbed his longsword with one claw and hit his head with the other.
Upon seeing this, Chen Gou immediately summoned the Radiant Dawn and unleashed the Rocket Grab Skill. A hand of light shot out instantly.
The Radiant Dawn did not stand still. Instead, she ran back a few steps and stood at the corner of the staircase.
The hand of light landed on the unsuspecting zombie lord, and a subtle ill feeling suddenly welled in Chen Gou’s heart.
Without even thinking about it, he added his two reserved Magic Origin Lights to his Strength.
Base Strength +4!
The chance of Rocket Grab successfully gripping the target depended on whether or not the opponent’s base Strength exceeded the caster’s by 20 points or one-third.
The Radiant Dawn extended her hand, but her Strength was based on the attribute of her owner, Chen Gou.
The zombie lord bellowed, and its entire body was pulled by the hand as it flew forward.
Since the Radiant Dawn had run to a higher place, there was an upward deviation of the chain of light as it was retracted.
In the end…
The upper part of the zombie lord’s tall body slammed into the upper part of the stairs leading to the second floor!
The pulling effect of the Rocket Grab was forced, so the force of the retraction was extremely terrifying. A large hole was smashed into the reinforced concrete of the stairs, including the iron railing.
The zombie lord swayed due to this violent impact.
This was a good chance!
“Arrowhawk!”
Chen Gou shouted as he made the Radiant Dawn unleash the Solar Flare and stun the zombie lord, who showed signs of waking up, causing very considerable damage with the silver flame attached.
The Demon Huntress actually didn’t need to be reminded by Chen Gou, as she had already pulled her bronze longbow and condensed a thumb-sized arrow of light with magic.
Arrow of Power!
Her second magic skill was called Three-Phase Arrow and it allowed her to shoot arrows with the exploding attack of her Strength, the speedy sharpness of her Agility, and the magic-breaking attribute of her Intelligence.
The Arrow of Power had the strongest attack of the Three-Phase Arrow but was also the slowest. It would be difficult to hit a moving opponent with it.
However, Chen Gou helped her get a chance to fight.
A hoarse, ferocious howl was heard, and a fist-sized bloody hole erupted on the zombie lord’s neck before its neck was almost severed.
“Roar—”
The surviving zombie lord became fierce, and a green plaque, which was similar to the residue growing on rotting fruit, grew on the surface of its body.
This plaque spread toward the bloody hole blown by the Arrow of Power and filled one-third of the hole in the blink of an eye.
The marks on the surface of the body that had been burned by the sunlight and the silver flame gradually disappeared as the plague mended them.
“This advanced zombie actually has the ability to mend its body!” Everyone’s faces changed.
Its attributes were so shockingly high that it was basically rushing in like a bulldozer crushing everything. Since it could recover from its injuries, had all the damage caused by their previous skills become useless?
Did he need to use the Rebirth Sword again?
Arrowhawk looked very confident.
Under her gaze, the plaque that covered the wound on the zombie lord’s body suddenly produced smoke, which then quickly became charred black before collapsing and disintegrating to re-expose that huge wound.
In addition, the magic that had been transformed by the collapse of the Arrow of Power around the wound did not disappear but coalesced into a small arrow.
The Demon Huntress raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and this red magic arrow of light, which resembled a sleeve arrow, immediately shot into the center of the bloody hole.
It went straight through the zombie lord’s neck after piercing its fragile interior, moved from its mouth into its brain, and then through its entire skull before flying out from the top of its head.
The zombie lord stiffened on the spot. Then, the ferociousness in its eyes receded like a tidal wave before it finally plopped on the ground and died on the spot.
“Quite impressive!” Chen Gou exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, as he hadn’t expected this final turn of events.
“It’s all thanks to Captain Ksitigarbha’s effective attack,” the Demon Huntress said with a laugh.
She had used a bloodline potion called Half-Elemental HP Bloodline at Level 10, and the ability she had acquired was Magic Condensation.
Within a certain range, as long as the magic belonged to her, it could once again coalesce into its original form to attack under the control of her mind.
However, compared to the beginning, its power had definitely reduced.
Just now, if the first arrow hadn’t severely wounded the zombie lord and created a bloody hole in it, the condensed arrow of light wouldn’t have been able to attack the zombie’s Achilles’ heel directly from within.
Now that the zombie lord had been targeted and killed instantly, the large number of remaining zombies were nothing to worry about.
The three in the back did their duty, though they didn’t do anything breathtaking.
After channeling his skills into taking care of the two Level-13 and Level-14 high-level zombies blocking the doorway, Chen Gou told the Bloodsucker Team to block the doorway and kill the zombies rushing out of the building.
At this point, due to the limitation of the relatively small space at the doorway, the maximum number of zombies they could face at any one time was no more than 5. The pressure had instantly been reduced, and they could also rotate.
In the end, the nine members of the Bloodsucker Team annihilated all the zombies by only suffering a few light injuries and no deaths.
Cleaning up the battlefield was the most anticipated moment.
After counting, they concluded that they had killed a total of more than 80 low-level zombies below Level 10, three high-level zombies above Level 10 and below Level 15, and one Level-17 zombie lord.
The loot of the battle included 21 bronze-grade Necrophilic Virus Skill Crystals, three silver-grade Skill Crystals, and hard cadaver claws cut from the zombie lord’s body.
A bronze-grade Skill Crystal like the Necrophilic Virus was worth a lot because it was a rather difficult ability to deal with.
Actually, in the misty Great Wall where the Covenant Church ruled, such Skill Crystals were almost worthless.
Why was that so?
Firstly, learning this skill required activating the T-Virus bloodline, or one would also be infected by the virus.
Secondly, the Covenant was worried about the virus spreading, so this skill was listed as forbidden. They would send a Judgment Knight to hunt down and execute anyone who was discovered learning it in secret.
The two silver-grade Skill Crystals were both the Cadaveric Plague Proliferation Crystals that the zombie lord had used, so Chen Gou was not interested at all.
Finally, the zombie lord’s cadaver claws had become magical materials because they had been tempered by magic. Using them to refine weapons would give the products a certain chance of having zombie abilities and characteristics.
“The bronze-grade Necrophilic Virus Skill Crystal can be sacrificed to the system for 100 Magic Origin Points, and the silver-grade Cadaveric Plague Proliferation can be sacrificed to the system for 600 Magic Origin Points…”
Chen Gou knew how to distribute the loot at this point.
