Chapter 25: Chapter 25 The Lame Lord Boss
Zi Liyuan’s grip on his magic wand tightened, and 16 Skeleton Knights appeared before him. Within minutes, 140 Skeleton Knights were quietly lined up beside him.
As for the last four control slots for skeletons, he summoned one Shield Combat Skeleton and three Crossbow Skeletons.
Not rushing to start the BOSS fight, Zi Liyuan began to recover his status. After his Spiritual Energy was fully restored, he waved a large hand, and the arrayed Skeleton Knights charged at the BOSS!
At the same time, Zi Liyuan activated Level 5 “Attack Aura”, covering a five-hundred-meter radius and causing the Skeleton Knights’ damage to leap threefold, from 22 points to 72 points.
The Crossbow Skeletons beside Zi Liyuan fired bolts at the BOSS as soon as possible. Although the shots that hit the BOSS resulted in a “MISS” effect, they successfully stacked three layers of Sunder Armor effect.
The BOSS’s Physical Defense dropped from 100 points to 70 points.
Well, it was another battle of dragging out time and grinding down health, but this time Zi Liyuan was under tremendous pressure.
Because after the battle started, the BOSS raised its hand to summon 21 skeletons, and on the second lift of its hand, it summoned a clay golem more than two meters tall.
“Eh?! There’s such a good thing?!”

Seeing the attributes of the skeletons and the Stone Demon, Zi Liyuan couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
The Lord Boss’s attributes were terrifying, but these summoned beings were truly subpar!
Not only were they outnumbered by Zi Liyuan, but the damage dealt by the skeletons also fell short by a large margin. Except for having marginally better Physical Defense and more health, they were practically useless!
As for the Clay Stone Demon, it was a nice meat shield with a deceleration ability. Unfortunately, it wasn’t an aura-type ability and required physical contact with the enemy to apply this negative effect.
Initially concerned about the BOSS’s summoned army, he now felt utterly unconcerned.
The collective Charge of the Skeleton Knights blew the BOSS’s skeletons and Stone Demon away in just one round, completely disrupting their formation, rendering them ineffective as a protective barrier.
When the Skeleton Knights crossed the defensive line, all that remained were piles of bone fragments and a lone mudstone pillar standing there.
With no other way around it, under Zi Liyuan’s “Attack Aura,” the Skeleton Knights’ Physical Attack reached a high of 72 points. Coupled with the bonuses from the Charge Skill, just 63 Skeleton Knights reduced the BOSS’s Skeleton Army to bone fragments.
As for the Clay Stone Demon, it lived up to its reputation as a thick-skinned tank. Despite being hammered by the Skeleton Knights, it only lost over 500 hit points, which was incredibly tough.
Meanwhile, the BOSS was not faring any better. Nearly 70 Skeleton Knights had targeted the BOSS with their Charge.
After the obstructing skeletons were shattered, these Skeleton Knights hit the BOSS without any hindrance, each inflicting 110 points of Physical Damage.
It amounted to a round of group charges, and the Skeleton Knight dealt 7700+ damage.
For the Lord Boss, the loss of health wasn’t significant; what was troublesome was the 70 charge skills bringing about a stun-and-interrupt effect.
It could be said that before the Skeleton Knight’s charge had fully ended, the Boss was continuously in a semi-stunned state, unable to release any skills.
Zi Liyuan naturally wouldn’t lecture the Boss on martial ethics— a Death Arrow shot from his hand, aiming straight for the Clay Stone Demon.
The Stone Demon, which still had 1000+ health remaining, turned into a pile of mud and debris the next instant.
Similarly, for summoning creatures with no magic resistance, being instantly killed by the nearly 2000+ magic damage of the Death Arrow was all too normal.
As the Skeleton Knights began to disperse and circle around, preparing to initiate another group charge at the Boss’s guard.
The Boss, having shaken off the stun effect, raised its hand again to summon 21 skeletons and then began to channel a spell.
A three-second channeling and a three-meter-long Bone Spear was conjured, but just as it was about to fire, a Shield Combat Skeleton quietly appeared 20 meters behind the Boss.
Controlling the Shield Combat Skeleton, it taunted at the extreme range of the ability, instantly turning the Boss’s position, causing it to lose its attack target. DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()/lbin(.)c/o/m
Spell backlash, casting failure, forced into a 5-second skill cooldown period.
And as the target of the Boss’s aim, Zi Liyuan had a wisp of a smile on his lips.
Right at that moment, the Skeleton Knight’s group charge was launched once more, and the target was still the Boss!
When Zi Liyuan switched to becoming a Necromancer, he would certainly familiarize himself with the Necromancer’s skill tree.
The attributes of this Lord Boss looked terrifying, but out of 10 skills, there were loopholes.
There were only three instant-cast spells: one to summon skeletons, one to summon Clay Stone Demons, and another to increase curse spell damage.
The rest of the skills all required channeling, among which Bone Spear had piercing damage, and Poison Explosion was a small-area AOE.
As for the other skills, Poison Dagger was additional poison damage, Dark Vision and Weaken were negative BUFF skills, all with channeling times over three seconds.
In short, as long as Zi Liyuan could prevent the Boss’s Bone Spear from hitting him, he wasn’t afraid of this Lord Boss at all.
Who made the Boss’s summons so subpar?
As a Necromancer himself, Zi Liyuan relied on mutating and strengthening his own skills, and even more on his ability to summon mutated creatures with a hundred percent success rate, while this Lord Boss was nothing but a complete failure!
With the Skeleton Knight army charging back and forth, the only sound left on the battlefield was the clattering of skeleton horse hooves.
The skeletons summoned by the Boss usually didn’t survive beyond 5 seconds before crumbling to dust.
The Clay Stone Demon, though instantly summoned, had a skill cooldown of 60 seconds, and moreover, each time it was summoned, it was instantly slain by Zi Liyuan’s soul-piercing Death Arrow.
Essentially, the Boss was persistently rammed by Skeleton Knights the whole time, never getting a chance to channel and release skills.
[Killed Necromancer (Level 21, Lord Boss), experience +500K]
[Congratulations player, you’ve successfully cleared the Silver Hero Class Change Instance, level lock has been lifted.]
[Congratulations player on successfully completing the first transformation, having fully awakened the professional skill tree after clearing the Silver Hero Class Change Instance.]
[Congratulations player, for activating with Hero Boss blood and clearing the Silver Hero Class Change Instance, earning an extra +20% base attribute strengthening]
A series of four system messages made Zi Liyuan incredibly satisfied.
In all honesty, apart from having intimidating stats and a plethora of skills, this Lord Boss was useless in every other aspect, not nearly as difficult as the Goblin Priest that once made him desperate.
Of course, times had changed. With two major cheats in hand, a plethora of mutated and enhanced skills, and even the Silver Hero set of gear, defeating a higher-level Lord Boss template wasn’t all that challenging.
Who would blame the Lord Boss for not having mutated skills?
