Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Fifty Artificial Undead of Silver rank were summoned by Fang Zhou, and without a word, they charged toward the Blood Skull Suicide Squad.

"Olaf, Catherine, capture it for me, prioritize taking it alive.

Kill all other enemies."

Fang Zhou had refrained from killing those few Silver Lower Rank members of the Blood Skull Suicide Squad not out of arrogance or a cat-and-mouse play.

But to lure out the greater power behind this Blood Skull Suicide Squad.

Using the Extraordinary Perception brought to him by Soul Eagle Eye, Fang Zhou could sense a strong enemy spying on them from nearby.

With the enemy hidden and us exposed, unable to pinpoint this potential threat, Fang Zhou resorted to this tactic, preserving most of his strength, feigning a play with the members of the Blood Skull Suicide Squad.

Otherwise, if Fang Zhou unleashed his full power, hurriedly killing off all Blood Skull Suicide Squad members, it might scare off the spying enemy.

Joshua and the other Shadow Demon Descendants were naturally not fools, and they realized they had fallen for Fang Zhou, this cunning human Undead Mage’s ruse.

But Fang Zhou’s combat power was extremely abnormal, as dozens of Silver Upper Rank Undead Creatures formed a siege, even the strongest Silver Limit Demon Descendant Baron Joshua stood no chance of escaping.

Fang Zhou placed a Rotting Curse on him, coated the Bone Axe of the Blood Spirit Warriors with poison, and didn’t stay in one place for three seconds, throwing Calamity Flying Spears at Joshua as if without consuming Mana.

Thanks to the protection of High Tier Battle Qi, the effect of the Undead Curse on Joshua wasn’t too apparent.

But fortunately, the Blood Spirit Warriors and Blood Spirit Hatred were tough to beat, holding for several rounds in his hands.

For a while, Joshua was forced into a miserable state.

Especially when all other Blood Skull Suicide Squad members were either killed or captured, Joshua’s morale scattered, confronted with two battles, he wished to escape first.

His Battle Qi was consumed rapidly, and minutes later, a Blood Spirit Warrior paid with dismantling itself to knock an axe onto Joshua’s slowing left leg.

With blood splattering, the scales of victory tipped obviously toward Fang Zhou.

For on that axe was the corpse poison Fang Zhou had applied earlier!

Given Fang Zhou’s current strength, if Joshua, as a Silver Limit, also having gained Abyssal Baron status, really wanted to escape, Fang Zhou might not be able to hold him.

Yet Joshua might have felt, after boasting earlier, being slaughtered by Fang Zhou, a rank lower, unbearable with his subordinate killed and himself forced back.

As he was leaving, he tapped his right foot, rushing toward where Xu Feng, Zhang Shan, and the others were.

His cold nature didn’t intend to rescue the other combat-devoid Shadow Demon Descendants but purely wished to slaughter a few human warriors to vent his anger.

This was undoubtedly digging his grave.

Seeing Joshua pounce toward the escort team’s soldiers, Fang Zhou sneered, conjuring a thought.

Boom!

Beside Joshua, the body of the first to die, Scarred Demon, swelled violently.

Corpse Explosion Skill!

Since Fang Zhou developed Corpse Explosion, it’s been reputed as the Undead Mage’s most insidious and unforeseeable trick.

On a battlefield filled with chaos, no one would pay attention to the readily accessible corpses suddenly becoming deadly weapons.

Joshua was no exception.

Luckily his reaction was swift, as before the explosion hit, he mobilized all his Battle Qi to form a defense, bracing against the Death Energy turbulence with bone chips.

But how could Fang Zhou behind him miss such a rare opportunity?

Calamity Flying Spears and the spells of numerous Blood Spirit Mage simultaneously launched, piercing Joshua’s back.

"Urk..."

Hit from two sides, Joshua’s internal organs ruptured, and he spewed blood.

The once arrogant Joshua swayed twice, then collapsed on the ground.

The Blood Skull Suicide Squad, annihilated.

Unexpectedly, what seemed a routine mission upfront, turned into landing this big catch of Blood Skull Suicide Squad, Fang Zhou was exhilarated.

After discussing with the escort team, he decided the convoy should continue to the frontline.

With Fang Zhou’s vision and Wisdom, he obviously wouldn’t think that an elite Silver Power Squad led by a Shadow Demon Descendant Baron like Joshua was sent merely for intercepting scouts.

Surely they possessed grander ambitions and tasks.

Before setting out again, fearing an awakening Joshua might act like a cornered beast, coupled with none showing deep insights into the Shadow Demon Descendants’ Battle Qi.

Fang Zhou personally took the War Axe of Blood Spirit Warrior, meticulously shattering the joints of Joshua’s limbs, then tossed a pile resembling mud onto the carriage.

Beside, Xu Feng and others, known as tough guys, felt a chill down their spines, startled by Fang Zhou’s methods.

They exchanged glances, pondering thankfully that they hadn’t offended this Undead Mage Lieutenant Colonel, who had a gentle smile on his face.

The convoy continued, and after this battle, Fang Zhou could constantly feel the adoring gazes from the accompanying warriors.

Rightly so; a Shadow Demon Descendant Baron, five Silver-ranked Blood Skull Suicide Squad members, all handled by such a young Fang Zhou.

Xu Feng and others had no doubt this lord would soon grow into a renowned top power in Longxia.

Being lucky enough to guard such a future powerhouse was something worth boasting about for a lifetime!

.......

The journey thereafter went smoothly, and Fang Zhou’s group arrived at the Dawn Legion First Combat Master headquarters stationed around ten kilometers away from the frontline by evening, handing over the captured Joshua.

The intelligence officer placed great importance on this event, promptly summoning Fang Zhou and others to clarify the details.

Leaving the intelligence officer’s camp, night had fallen, aside from the injured Zhang Shan, Xu Feng and others still had to return to their team.

Having narrowly escaped death, they sincerely thanked Fang Zhou, and Xu Feng repeatedly told Fang Zhou he would quickly apply to be transferred to the frontline, hoping to see Fang Zhou often in the future.

That night, the Shadow Demon Descendant Baron Joshua and the intelligence extracted from him were relayed through levels, handed to the Dawn Legion First Master Commander Ning Danxin Major General.

"Commander Ning, based on the Intelligence Division’s reconnaissance, Calamity Sun Demon Country dispatched ten groups of ’Blood Skull Suicide Squad’ to infiltrate our army’s rear this time.

The mission the Shadow Demon Descendant Baron Joshua executed that day was to sabotage our army’s Magic Energy Giant Crossbow."

An intelligence officer, granted access into the military camp, spoke respectfully to a female officer at a desk.

"A fortress hosting a hundred thousand soldiers, yet infiltrated by five to sixty enemies.

Doesn’t the Military Intelligence Department have any explanation?"

Commander Ning Danxin lifted her head, with a stern look.

Although she’s displayed amiability meeting Fang Zhou several times, anyone awakening the Berserker Profession necessitates having a temper.

To her subordinates, Commander Ning Danxin’s Glory Champion Strongman’s staunch presence remains profound.

"Regarding the infiltration issue, the Military Intelligence Department’s officer says he’ll provide a written report to you."

The intelligence officer nervously replied.

"Hmm.

That Undead Mage Fang Zhou from the report, you must grant him a commendation.

This time’s strategic supplies suffered no loss owing entirely to his merit.

Furthermore, the details I instructed you to investigate on how this Undead Mage named Fang Zhou defeated the Shadow Demon Descendant Baron, did you ascertain them?"

Speaking of Fang Zhou, Commander Ning Danxin finally softened her serious look, inquired with keen interest.

"Yes, we investigated all present that day, and their accounts mostly match.

He relied on the abnormal number of Summoned Creatures and his spooky, powerful Undead Magic to..."

The intelligence officer explained thoroughly.

"Good, good!"

Ning Danxin’s eyes gleamed, "Fang Zhou’s strength far surpasses his prior performance on the Beast Fighting City battlefield, his talent is truly remarkable!"
