Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

“Is it really that hard to catch a fish? Where the hell is Zi Liyuan? Did he go into hiding?”

It was highly unusual for so many Lord Bosses to come running to trouble them.

Li Fengwen had reason to suspect that the bastard Zi Liyuan was possibly plotting against them, only to reap the benefits at the end.

“Something feels off, especially the demonic energy; it’s showing signs of going berserk, and my senses are telling me there’s danger.”

Ying Xueji’s face turned serious as she stared straight towards the huge palace at the center of the castle.

The feeling of danger came from that direction, and as time went on, the feeling grew stronger as if the danger was intensifying continuously.

Just as the four of them were in a state of alarm and uncertainty, a roar came rolling out from the central palace.

“Damn humans, daring to try and seal this king? You’re all courting death! Roar!!!”

With the roar, the huge illusion of the Abyssal Lord enveloped the entire Abyssal Castle.

A gigantic purple-red spear with an overwhelming power suddenly pierced into the ground of the castle.

In the blink of an eye, the earth trembled, as if a dragon were turning over.

The ground inside the castle cracked, opening countless fissures, and buildings collapsed amidst the swirling dust clouds.

And then, at the next moment, fiery red, scorching magma spewed out from the cracked ground.

As magma erupted and burning heat scorched, within just a few breaths, the entire castle was engulfed in magma!

“Magma Hell!? Is the Abyssal Lord really giving up his own lair?!”

Li Fengwen’s eyes bulged in disbelief at the sudden change in the environment, but his hands quickly pulled a scroll from his Spatial Backpack and activated it without hesitation.

A gentle cyan light shone upon all the newcomers, and at the next moment, a cyan whirlwind appeared under the feet of each newcomer, lifting them into the air to hover about five meters above the ground.

“We’ve been screwed over, screwed over by the teachers!”

The fact that the Abyssal Lord used a Minor Forbidden Spell indicated that the teachers must have done something outrageous to have infuriated the Abyssal Lord to such an extent that he recklessly took action.

“Retreat first, we can’t stay at the Abyssal Castle anymore.”

“Is this a situation where you can just retreat? Do you really think these demons are made of paper?”

“Damn it! These Abyssal demons are burning with rage and, moreover, due to the demonic energy converging within the Abyssal Castle, they are able to form a layer of demonic energy shields that allow them to briefly move through the magma flow unaffected.”

“Make your move, or we’re going to have a big problem.”

Noticing that fourteen Lord Demons were buffing the Demon Army, Ying Xueji and the others felt numb.

Their plan to recruit the newcomers was to swiftly exterminate the demons inside the Abyssal Castle.

Instead, all these newcomers had become burdens, and now in a crucial moment, they had to play babysitters, which was a massive loss.

But what they feared most wasn’t the Demon Army on the battlefield; rather, it was the Abyssal Lord!

If those damn teachers screwed everything up and let the Abyssal Lord escape, then the fun would really begin.

Perhaps this batch of newcomers would become the disgrace of Dragon Academy, forever nailed to the history of the academy.

On some year, some month, some day, during the newcomers’ entrance assessment, the four great royal families formed a team to attack the Abyssal Rift, resulting in nearly half of their year’s newcomers dead…

This would be a definite black mark in history, damaging the honor of the four great royal families, and once they entered the Sea of Realms, their family elders might very well beat them to death!

“Take action, catch the king first, kill all those Lord Bosses.”

Ying Xueji’s eyes were filled with frost as she commanded her subordinates to intercept those junior Bosses.

Li Fengwen started to direct the newcomers to retreat and run.

Floating with the wind element, the sustain time was a full half hour, but the flight altitude was only five meters, and the speed was not fast, so being closely pursued by the Demon Army was inevitable.

Therefore, he had to organize the group of freshmen to resist the Demon Army while arranging for a slow retreat.

This wasn’t an ancient battlefield where one could abandon a group of troops to cover a retreat.

Having become the temporary leader of these people, he had the responsibility and obligation to bring all the freshmen safely back.

Of course, if he was faced with a lethal threat, he wouldn’t be so particular about it.

But unless absolutely necessary, as direct members of the four great royal households, they would never abandon their comrades, even if they were just temporary burdens.

The real burdens, the freshmen.

Li Fengwen cursed inwardly because a few small teams had problems and actually disobeyed his correct arrangement, breaking away from the group in an attempt to escape.

As a result, these three groups of dozens of people had just left the main force when they were surrounded by the Demon Army, plunging into a life-threatening crisis.

He was tempted to ignore them and let them fend for themselves, but nearby, there was Teacher Yin watching.

If he deliberately abandoned these freshmen when he could have rescued them, he wouldn’t have a good outcome, and it might even tarnish the reputation of the four great royal houses.

Suppressing the urge to curse, Li Fengwen had no choice but to dispatch a hundred-man squad under his command as an assault team to rescue these deserters.

That’s why when clearing dungeons, the greatest fear is encountering a team of idiots; a single rat dropping spoiling the whole pot of soup.

Fortunately, this hundred-man squad was elite enough, and their goal was very simple: to rescue and drag these dead weights back to the freshmen team.

As for what might happen if they continued to court death, Li Fengwen wouldn’t mind letting them learn why the flower was so red. If they refused to repent, then he’d just let them die.

If they kept courting death, then he’d leave these idiotic teachers to deal with it. He was just a kid who had just started university; he couldn’t possibly handle so much responsibility.

Meanwhile, the Sniper Squad led by Ying Xueji, Zhu Wu, and Liu Shengnan, after using some flying tools, quickly approached the fourteen Lord Bosses.

Then, they kicked off with a barrage of powerful moves.

Ying Xueji immediately used Ice Seal Miles, freezing the cluster of fourteen Lord Bosses together with a thick layer of frost.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Wu and Liu Shengnan unleashed terrifying combat power. A pair of giant golden gourds expanded like balloons, becoming like small hills, and with a force as heavy as a mountain, they hammered directly onto the heads of the boss group.

At the same moment, a Halberd with the might of thunder crashed down. In the instant it fell, a dark shadow burst from the Halberd, and with a roar to the sky, it transformed into a ghostly fiend wielding the Halberd to slash in all directions.

Those following behind them also unleashed their strongest moves.

That wasn’t enough—Ying Xueji, after releasing Ice Seal Miles, pulled out a pitch-black scroll and tore it open without hesitation.

Massive death energy madly surged toward the fourteen bosses, even penetrating their bodies, imposing a terrifying negative status on them.

Bloodline Exhaustion (Fourth Order Golden): It curses the target, causing the target’s bloodline to deplete instantly, forcing a reduction of 90% of their health for a duration of three seconds. During the weakening period, the weakened target will not suffer fatal attacks, forced to retain 1 hit point. (Note: Can only be used on Fourth Order or lower strength beings!)

Three seconds to evaporate 90% of the Bosses’ total health, the whichever-many-Lord Bosses who originally nearly had 20 million health were suddenly reduced to little bosses with only 2 million health, then were instantly overwhelmed by numerous attacks.

Under various powerful moves, the fourteen Lord Bosses had their health depleted to the mandatory 1 hit point in an instant.

And in the moment the three seconds ended, the remaining Bosses with that 1 point of health received a surge of health based on their remaining health percentage.

But compared to the emptied health bars, this sliver of regained health was really negligible.

Not wanting to die, the Lord Bosses threw out life-saving skills without cost, and then in unison, prepared to flee.

Damn, these humans are too freaking brutal; it was just a meeting, and they were almost sliced up!

Might as well give up fighting this Gill!

We’re all hired hands, struggling for scraps; is it worth risking our lives?

So, the fourteen Lord Bosses ran off in a tacit agreement, none running in the same direction.

Betting that the others wouldn’t chase them, but instead would go after their companions.
