Twisted Magician

Luna's Touch of Frost effect was quite useful; upon contact, regardless of level, it would have some impact.

Gu Xi was waiting for this opportunity. As Luna froze the shadowy figure, Gu Xi raised his hand and sent a Bone Spike flying.

The shadowy figure was frozen for a moment, his body visibly paused. His method of moving as a shadow directly stopped, and the Bone Spike easily pierced his body.

As he was struck by the Bone Spike, the Skeleton Soldiers near Gu Xi immediately pounced, attacking him with spears and swords.

The figure still used his Strength, constantly emitting red light, each blast shattering a Skeleton Soldier.

But there were simply too many Skeleton Soldiers. Even if he was strong, he only managed to shatter two or three.

Before long, the Skeleton Soldiers hacked him to death.

[Skeleton Soldier (Summon) has killed Twisted Magician (Youth, Level 3). You have gained 18 experience points, Battle Squad has gained 1 experience point, Contracted Undead has gained 22 experience points, Summons participating in the kill have gained 4 experience points.]

Twisted Magician? What kind of being is that? Before Gu Xi could figure out the connection, he suddenly heard a sound of rapid movement behind him.

Gu Xi turned around and saw another Black-robed Man, dressed the same as the Twisted Magician, appear in the courtyard of the apartment building.

However, this one looked even older, with white hair peeking out from under his black hood. The hair was so greasy it shone, and he didn't seem to care about grooming it.

Stopping in the courtyard, he immediately saw the shadowy figure who had been killed by the Skeleton Soldiers.

The Black-robed Man's face twisted in rage. "Harry, you killed my son! I'll kill you all!"

With that, the Black-robed Man pointed forward, and a red beam shot towards Gu Xi.

The Skeleton Soldiers beside Gu Xi quickly stepped forward, blocking the attack for Gu Xi.

However, Gu Xi clearly noticed that the shattered remains of the Skeleton Soldiers were much more fragmented this time.

"Block him."

As Gu Xi spoke, he threw Bone Spikes at the man. At the same time, he thought to himself that he needed to learn a ranged attack that could track enemies. Relying on Bone Spikes alone might not be enough to kill them.

At Gu Xi's command, the Skeleton Soldiers quickly advanced.

But like the Twisted Magician who had just been killed, this one also had the ability to turn into a shadow and move at high speed.

The Skeleton Soldiers simply couldn't keep up with his speed.

Gu Xi wanted to have Luna freeze the enemy like before, but this one reacted even faster than Luna. Even when he paused, he could instantly move again, dodging attacks aimed at him.

Faced with such a fast-moving enemy, Gu Xi knew that relying on the Skeleton Soldiers alone wouldn't work. He decisively shouted, "Luna, Wail!"

Luna instantly understood Gu Xi's meaning. As the man started to turn into a shadow again, she let out a shriek in the direction he was moving.

Banshee's Wail activated! Luna's shriek spread in all directions, instantly knocking the shadowy figure out of his movement effect.

As he emerged from the shadow movement, Gu Xi decisively pointed in that direction.

The man knew that Gu Xi could release Bone Spikes, so he quickly rolled to the side.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xi had only pointed casually. As he rolled, three Flying Daggers shot out from Gu Xi's left hand.

The Flying Daggers were faster than Bone Spikes, and they could accurately hit the desired location. Although the man rolled quickly, one of the Daggers still struck him.

However, he didn't try to pull out the Dagger. Instead, he stood up and pointed towards Gu Xi.

By this point, Gu Xi had no Skeleton Soldiers with shields left.

But a Skeleton Soldier with a Spear immediately appeared in front of him, volunteering to block the attack for Gu Xi.

Gu Xi used this opportunity to throw another Dagger at the man.

It seemed as if he was telling the enemy, I'm out of mana, come and get me.

Sure enough, the man understood the meaning behind Gu Xi's attack, and he decisively charged towards Gu Xi.

But just as he was about to move, Gu Xi suddenly took out the Powderize Staff and pointed it at the Black-robed Man.

The Black-robed Man was startled by Gu Xi's new weapon, and his movements noticeably slowed.

Gu Xi happened to see him step on the corpse of a Skeleton Soldier. Without thinking, Gu Xi used Corpse Explosion on the corpse.

BOOM! The power of Lesser Corpse Explosion was directly proportional to the Life of the corpse before it died.

With a small explosion, the man's left leg was blown off on the spot.

The nearby Skeleton Soldiers, seeing this situation, decisively pounced forward, wanting to hack this man to death on the spot.

But the next scene stunned Gu Xi. This man actually raised his right hand and put a ring inlaid with a large stone into his mouth.

Without any visible action from him, a scream came from inside the small building. The sound was like a person's dying wail, even more miserable than Luna's Banshee's Wail.

Gu Xi didn't know what had happened inside the small building. He was looking towards it when he saw a cloud of blood fly out of the small building, accurately landing on the Black-robed Man.

The Black-robed Man instantly absorbed all the blood as it landed. Then, to Gu Xi's surprise, the Black-robed Man's legs, which had been blown apart, directly returned to their original state.

Even the Black-robed Man's pale hair turned black, and he looked full of vitality.

Is this rebirth or resurrection?

Gu Xi was filled with confusion, but he understood that the ring with the large stone had absorbed the power of the blood, allowing the Black-robed Man's strength to return to its peak level.

Gu Xi's attacks from the better part of the day had all been in vain.

Faced with this situation, Gu Xi was also quite decisive, "Go, don't let him get away."

Luna appeared behind him at the first opportunity, and Touch of Frost landed on him.

But at this time, the Black-robed Man's combat power had obviously been raised to its peak level. The frost only appeared on his body for a moment before disappearing on the spot.

Gu Xi couldn't care about anything else at this point. Five Bone Spikes flew towards the Black-robed Man, and at the same time, Gu Xi quickly charged towards the Black-robed Man. It seemed he was going to engage in close combat this time.

When the Black-robed Man saw Gu Xi charging, he stretched out his hands, and two red beams shot towards Gu Xi.

Gu Xi didn't dodge. Two Skeleton Soldiers immediately jumped out and exploded in front of Gu Xi.

Taking advantage of the opportunity created by the Skeleton Soldiers exploding, Gu Xi decisively rushed in front of the Black-robed Man, and the Powderize Staff heavily smashed towards his head.
