Only You Have Minions, Huh?

Seeing the Corpse Giant fall, the two lead hunters ordered another attack.

"Press the advantage! Don't give it a chance to fight back!"

The Corpse Giant was down, but the Rotting Poison Corpse General at its core was still alive. Give it even a moment to recover, and another giant made of hundreds or thousands of rotting corpses would soon appear.

Their Magic Energy reserves were limited. They could not beat the Rotting Poison Corpse General at its own Corpse Sea Tactic.

Magic flared around everyone.

Various kinds of Magic were hurled by the hunters, arcing gracefully through the air before landing in the mass of corpses dozens of meters away.

Many used the more destructive Intermediate Magic. The densely packed low-level rotting corpses vanished at a visible rate.

Before long, only the Rotting Poison Corpse General remained on that patch of black earth, looking like a mountain of black flesh.

Even at three meters tall, it was an imposing sight. The black-green, glowing lumps of flesh hanging from its body made it obvious at a glance that this thing was dangerous.

"Urgh~~!!!"

The Rotting Poison Corpse General looked bloated, but it was anything but slow.

Just as everyone thought forty meters gave them enough time to react, the mountain of black flesh came hurtling toward them like a runaway truck!

“Defend! Hold formation! Light Blessing!” one of the lead Hunter Mages shouted.

"Light Blessing!"

"Rock Barrier!"

The Rotting Poison Corpse General charged with such ferocity that, even before it hit anyone, the sight alone sent a wave of Fear through their minds!

Boom~~~!!!

The massive Rock Barrier shattered into powder under the impact. It clearly had not been thick enough.

Next came the two Light Blessing shields everyone was counting on. But the vicious Warrior Level creature grabbed two black-green lumps from its body and flung them at the first shield!

Bang!

The lumps exploded on contact, coating the golden shield in black-green venom.

The venom was clearly corrosive, and it ate through the shield far faster than the Light Blessing could purify it.

Everyone watched the golden light fade where the venom was thickest. Then a gaping hole burned straight through.

That was a third-tier Light Blessing. It showed just how terrifying the Rotting Poison Corpse General's Corrosive Corpse Bombs were. Even a little contact would probably burn right through someone's body!

With venom covering the shield and a hole in its defense, the Rotting Poison Corpse General no longer feared the Holy Light Shield. It charged again!

"Damn it, scatter!" Seeing the danger, the lead hunter shouted to everyone behind him.

"Earth Wave!"

"Wind Track!"

The Earth Element and Wind Element mages assigned to control hastily linked their Star Tracks to speed up their teammates.

Ripples of rock spread rapidly through the black soil.

The ripples carried everyone apart just as the savage Rotting Poison Corpse General barreled through the gap between them.

Boom!

With a thunderous blast, several black-green lumps on its body burst, spraying toward the ten people around it!

"Defend yourselves!" the lead hunter roared.

"Light Blessing!"

"Rock Barrier!"

"Water Barrier!"

"Nether Separation Shield!"

In an instant, everyone threw up whatever defenses they had.

Bang!

The lump struck with such force that Zhou Sining staggered back a step even behind his Nether Separation Shield.

Then the harsh hiss of venom eating into the shield sounded beside his ear.

Hum!

The struck Nether Separation Shield lit up pale blue. A diamond-shaped spike flashed coldly as it shot toward the Rotting Poison Corpse General's face!

The spike struck between its eyes and pierced clean through its thick skull. But its eyes still glared as fiercely as ever. The blow had done nothing to it.

It felt no pain. Without even pulling out the spike, it strode straight toward Zhou Sining.

"Fuck me!" Zhou Sining blurted out in fright.

The Rotting Poison Corpse General was fast, and its enormous body made its approach terrifying.

Worse, several lumps still hung from it. Any one of them could corrode Zhou Sining until nothing remained!

"Netherworld Battle Armor! Shadow Escape!"

Zhou Sining did not dare waste a moment. He summoned his Armor Magic Equipment with its Shadow Escape effect and slipped into the darkness, away from the Rotting Poison Corpse General.

By the time it charged through the spot where he had been, he was already thirty meters away.

It was not a safe distance, but it gave him room to fight back or flee.

"Roar~!!!" Missing its target, the Rotting Poison Corpse General raised both fists high and slammed them into the ground!

The ground shook. The lumps covering most of its back fell off and exploded.

Black-green corrosive liquid sprayed everywhere.

"My arm! Aah!!!"

The university student closest to the Rotting Poison Corpse General failed to dodge. A fist-sized glob of corrosive liquid struck his shoulder.

In the blink of an eye, it ate through his entire shoulder, and his left arm dropped to the ground.

A hunter who controlled ice rushed to his side and quickly froze his entire left shoulder.

In that short time, more than half the fallen arm had already dissolved. Even if a Healing Mage had been there, it would have been too late to reattach it.

His left arm was gone for good.

"Roar~!!!"

From one of the large lumps that had just landed emerged a wolf-shaped creature radiating an evil aura.

It was a horrifying sight. Barely any healthy flesh remained on its body, and where its head should have been was the disheveled head of a woman.

The wolf-bodied, human-faced corpse was only the size of an ordinary person at first. As it rapidly absorbed the corrosive liquid on the ground, it swelled until it was nearly as large as the Rotting Poison Corpse General!

The terrifying aura of an advanced Servant Level creature rolled off it. Under the stare of those hateful, vicious red eyes, Zhou Sining felt a chill run through every limb!

The Rotting Poison Corpse General and its Female-Headed Wolf Corpse ignored the mages around them and headed straight for Zhou Sining.

Clearly, the Rotting Poison Corpse General still held a grudge over that spike.

The Female-Headed Wolf Corpse was even faster than the Rotting Poison Corpse General. Zhou Sining had barely slipped into the darkness when its claws came slashing down.

Forced to roll across the ground several times, Zhou Sining snapped and quickly linked his Star Track.

A moon-white Star Track appeared beside him in a blink, becoming a Space-Time Gate of surging wind!

“Fuck you! You think you're the only one with backup? Flame Demon Tiger, tear it apart!”

"Roar~~!!!"

The moment he finished speaking, a tiger's roar shook the sky from within the Space-Time Gate. Before anyone could react, a crimson figure wreathed in flames shot out, unleashing a torrent of fire straight at the Female-Headed Wolf Corpse!

Boom!

The flames exploded, sweeping over the wolf corpse and knocking it back several meters.

Only then did the crimson figure stop and return to Zhou Sining's side, graceful and commanding.

The Flame Demon Tiger stood three meters tall as well. Its stripes shone fiercely in the night. Red light flowed across its body, and flames burst to life, wrapping around its muscular frame.

Its golden-red eyes locked on the Rotting Poison Corpse General and the Female-Headed Wolf Corpse. Though weaker than both, it held its head high, its regal dominance plain to see!

“A Flame Demon Tiger! He has a Summoned Beast that terrifying?”

Even the experienced lead hunter cried out in astonishment at the magnificent Flame Demon Tiger's appearance.

Flame Demon Tigers started at the greater Servant Level. With proper care, reaching the Warrior Level was no problem.

More importantly, the noble Demon Tiger Bloodline flowed through their veins, giving them the bearing of a king looking down upon all other beasts.

It was almost impossible for a beginner summoner to form a contract with one. Even for an Intermediate Mage, the chances were absurdly low.

"Gangsha!" Zhou Sining stamped his foot.

White Gangsha Flame surged from his body and spread rapidly.

In just a second or two, flames completely covered the twenty-meter radius around him.

Every Undead that tried to approach and set foot in the Fire Domain was burned to ashes by the fierce flames!
