Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 266 - 162: The Strength of the Ghost General
Instantly, a large number of ghosts turned to ashes in the thunderous light, even the core Ghost General was affected! A sliver of its Soul Body was obliterated!
These are the two greatest weaknesses of a Ghostly Legion. First, once they gather together, the target becomes extremely large, easily hit, and wide-range attack skills can cause massive damage!
Previously, when Chu Xiu led the ghosts into battle, they would maintain at least a ten-meter distance from each other on open ground. Now all gathered together, if Chu Xiu wielded the Great Sun Guard Shield and charged into the center of the ghostly black cloud to unleash a Burst Skill, he could wipe out at least a third of the ghosts in an instant!
The second weakness is their massive combat size, which prevents them from concentrating power effectively to attack a single target.
Such a huge Ghostly Legion attacking together somehow allowed a mech within it to last ten seconds and even fight back, indicating that although their impact range is large, the damage on a single target is not impressive, and their power is quite dispersed.
In simple terms, it is suited for confronting large numbers of weak Low Tier creatures, often achieving injury-free massacres.
With these thoughts in mind, Chu Xiu did not fight hard against the remaining elite force but timely waved the Soul Banner.
Instantly, all the ghosts plummeted rapidly, forming tangible bodies in midair, then heavily smashed into the ground!
"Screech!!!"
Grotesque ghosts with long claws appeared from the smoke, immediately pouncing towards the scattered Corrupted Soldiers the moment they hit the ground!
The formation of the Corrupted Soldiers had already been scattered by the repeated assaults of the black storm, leaving them to fight individually amidst the mountains and forests. Under the command of the Ghost General, the ghosts, with Fierce Ghosts leading each squad, formed a cohesive group to encircle and kill the isolated Corrupted Soldiers!
Over a hundred teams led by Fierce Tier units transformed into terrifying forces, and the remaining Corrupted Soldiers had no power to resist, being torn into pieces by the charging ghosts.
Immediately, a mass of blood bloomed in the mountains and forests.
The Ghost General roared, charging directly to a mech, and raised its three-meter-long Heavy Hammer, slamming down heavily!
With over two thousand points of Power, even heavy armor made of ten-centimeter-thick steel plates was crushed like plastic, and with just one hammer blow, the enormous mech was forcefully caved in! Sparks flew from its four limbs, and its legs buckled under the immense force, causing it to kneel on the ground!
"Bang!"
The Ghost General punched again, directly smashing through the mech’s core, rendering it completely destroyed!
A General Tier mech was instantly killed within a blink of an eye!
"Courting death!"
At this moment, an angry roar sounded from above. It was the Level 6 Awakened General who bellowed, diving down from the sky!
His Speed was incredibly fast, and in a blink, he was before the Ghost General, with a massive Horse-slaying Saber appearing in his hand, chopping down towards the Ghost General’s head!
However, in the face of this Corrupted Awakened who was 5 levels higher, the Ghost General showed no fear. The massive Warhammer, as if it weighed nothing, was effortlessly lifted from the caved-in mech and swiftly blocked in front.
"Clang!!!"
A nerve-wracking metallic clash sounded, and the Ghost General used its immense Power to parry the strike, then with a strong lift, sent the Corrupted Awakened flying. At the same time, a swirling mass of darkness suddenly appeared in its other hand!
As soon as the vortex appeared, it began sucking in the Power of the surrounding ghosts, rapidly expanding and solidifying. In less than 0.1 seconds, it swelled to the size of a basketball!
In the next instant, as the Ghost General thrust its left hand, it exploded into countless black lines, like a dark ferocious tiger pouncing towards the airborne Corrupted Awakened!
The Corrupted Awakened reacted quickly, forming a Shield around him, but as that Shield was engulfed by the black lines, its Energy rapidly dwindled, even extracting the Life Force of the Corrupted Awakened through the Shield!
This made his complexion change dramatically, needing to escape into the air quickly. But when he broke free of the black lines, his skin had already dried and wrinkled like a sixty or seventy-year-old man!
This horrifying scene left him aghast, blurting out, "What kind of monster are you?"
Not just him, even Chu Xiu clicked his tongue in astonishment.
The battle capabilities of the Ghost General’s physical form were equally monstrous, with extraordinary Basic Attributes, it could absorb the Power of surrounding ghosts to unleash a terrifying Life-taking Skill.
Of course, there was a drawback, which was that though the skill was powerful, it required the Power of nearby ghosts as its cost, as could be seen with the visibly weakened ghosts surrounding the Ghost General.
But this minor flaw paled in front of its tremendous Power, with such a terrifying Life Force absorption capability, if facing an ordinary General Tier Level 6 Abyss creature, it might instantly kill it!
And as his Ghostly Legion’s overall elite strength improved, the power of the Hundred Ghost Manipulation Technique could be further enhanced!
Knowing this, Chu Xiu stopped observing.
"It’s time to end this battle."
With a thought, his Mana surged into the Hundred Souls Banner!
[Command: Charge]
In the next moment, all the ghosts seemed to be invigorated, with both their Speed and attack power surging, they rushed out overwhelmingly, engulfing the remaining Corrupted Soldiers in an instant!
