CHAPTER 104: Strengthening Spatial Attack Ability!
Everyone present was momentarily stunned; they had never seen such an attack method before. Even Galen and the others were confused about what was happening.
However, they had grown accustomed to attributing any inexplicable yet beneficial events around them to Zhao Hai, so they were only briefly surprised.
But the moment the Stone Spirit Duo was caught off guard, it cost them their lives. Zhao Qian had long been lurking nearby, waiting for an opportunity. As soon as he saw them dazed, he immediately acted, appearing behind the Stone Spirit Duo, and thrust his dagger towards one of them.
This strike was silent and without any wind, yet it was immensely powerful. The dagger pierced through the protective shield of one of the Stone Spirit Duo, entering his body amidst his terrified gaze.
Seeing his brother attacked, the other one’s eyes turned red, and he shouted, “Big brother! Thief, I’ll kill you!” He pointed, and a stone giant, disregarding the undead beings around, turned and swung a punch at Zhao Qian.
At that moment, the one struck by Zhao Qian fell to the ground in pain. The stone giant he had summoned swayed slightly, on the verge of dissipating.
Just then, a crack in space appeared beneath the stone giant, and it fell through. At the same time, a psychic magic attack was finally launched, targeting the lone unharmed member of the Stone Spirit Duo.
Psychic attacks were particularly damaging to a mage. Under normal circumstances, a mage like the Stone Spirit Duo would have ways to defend themselves. But now, having lost their rationality and consumed by thoughts of revenge, they naturally couldn't defend against it and were hit directly.
He screamed in agony, blood spurting from his eyes and nose. The stone giant lost control as it swayed, about to disappear. At that moment, another spatial crack appeared, pulling the stone giant back, while the brother of the Stone Spirit Duo who had suffered the psychic attack was stabbed to death by Zhao Qian, bringing the night’s battle to an end.
Seeing that the battle was over, Galen immediately shouted, “Clean the battlefield! Zhao Zui, you guys get to work.” Zhao Zui and the others responded and began their tasks. Their job was straightforward: to turn the deceased into undead beings, selecting one from the three advanced warriors to undergo a transformation into a high-level undead being. However, this process required time, so they started with the others, as turning them into ordinary undead beings would suffice.
At this time, Zhao Hai was also organizing his gains. The two stone giants had just been brought into the castle. The moment he drew the stone giant into the castle, he heard the spatial notification sound: “Stone Spirit enters space, enhancing attack capabilities. Summon Stone Spirit, daily usage limit: ten times. Stone Spirit usage duration: twenty-four hours.”
This unexpected surprise pleased Zhao Hai. He hadn't anticipated that bringing the stone giant into the space would yield such benefits.
Just as he was feeling happy, the spatial notification sound came again: “Enhancing Stone Spirit poison, extracting Stone Spirit throwing capabilities, adding throwing capabilities to robotic-type entities.”
Another unexpected surprise followed; the space increased the throwing ability of undead beings. This meant these undead beings now had means for long-range attacks? As for what weapons the undead beings would use for long-range attacks, Zhao Hai had a good idea: it would be the spikes that grew on their bodies. He couldn't expect them to throw their own claws, could he?
When the second stone giant was drawn into the space, there was no further reaction from the space. It was at this moment that Zhao Hai realized that the stone giant transformed into a yellow light upon entering the space, merging into the surrounding mist and disappearing.
Zhao Hai paid it no mind and smiled slightly, focusing his thoughts. A stone giant appeared before him. This stone giant was quite different from the one summoned by the Stone Spirit Duo. It was dark green and appeared crystalline, resembling a large piece of jade, and was more humanoid in shape. Its head, however, was crafted into a large skull, yet unlike undead beings, it didn't have the flicker of spirit fire inside; it was merely an ordinary skull.
