65: Mythical Staff

Xu Le was very fast.

After a rapid dash, he flapped his wings and flew directly in front of the Fishman.

The Fishman did not run away; its "Death Displacement" had not yet cooled down, and relying on its legs, it was impossible to escape the pursuit of the wings.

It relied directly on "Qi Shield" to stand and output damage.

Both were mages, so who was afraid of whom?

Summon Undead!

With a wave of its staff, dozens more undead appeared. Xu Le ignored them and slashed at the Fishman with his blade.

His strength attribute had now exceeded 11,000, and with the demon slaying blade that possessed a 50% magic-breaking attribute, just the first slash caused the Qi Shield enveloping the Fishman to crack.

Then came the second and third slashes, and the Qi Shield shattered completely.

The Fishman's previously calm face finally revealed a hint of fear. Gritting its teeth, it immediately unleashed a terrifying ultimate move—Reapers Scythe!

Xu Le simultaneously slashed out his fourth attack.

Luck exploded.

The "Monkey Spirit" blessing, which had a 10% chance to attack an additional time, took effect.

Behind the fourth slash, the phantom of a fifth slash condensed and formed.

The two slashes struck the Fishman one after the other.

- 9860

- 9860

Two blood-red numbers floated up from its head.

Just as Xu Le was about to continue the pursuit, the Fishman had successfully summoned the "Reapers Scythe".

A black scythe appeared in the Void Realm.

The handle was pitch black, and the blade was even blacker.

The surrounding light seemed to be absorbed by the blade.

Even a person's gaze could not escape.

It was firmly locked by the scythe.

Then came the Soul.

Xu Le felt a pain in his head. Coming to his senses, he casually cast a Skill he had never used before—Void Banishment! (See Chapter 036)

The black scythe trembled desperately.

It persisted in place for three seconds, but in the end, helpless, it was banished back to its previous world.

The Fishman's crazed expression froze, its eyes filled with disbelief.

Xu Le would not stop; he swung his blade like lightning, turning the demon slaying blade in his hand into a blur.

As one slash fell, another was already aimed.

- 9680

- 9680

When the third slash landed, the Fishman finally reacted and used the "Death Displacement" Skill, appearing 30 meters away.

Just as it was about to wave its staff to revive the newly fallen Little Dog Clone, an ancient blood-colored altar appeared behind it.

Little Silly Crow used the "Soul Sacrifice" Skill.

The madness in the Fishman's eyes vanished completely.

Its whole body trembled, wanting to flee.

However, its feet seemed rooted to the ground, unable to move at all.

Immediately after, its body stiffened, and it collapsed to the ground, turning into a corpse.

A staff dropped beside it.

[EXP + 8,180,000]

With the death of the Fishman, the undead army lost its source of power, and one by one they turned back into cold corpses, lying motionless on the ground.

Xu Le picked up the staff that had killed the Fishman and scanned it with Divine Eye, immediately becoming excited.

[Weapon] scythe of death staff

[Quality] mythic-grade

[Requirements] Rank ≥ 60, Mage-class

[Equipment Traits] spirit + 800, Casting Speed increased by 50%, comes with the "Summon Death" Skill.

[Undead Summoning] After equipping the staff, it can absorb the Souls of killed creatures and summon them to fight in coordination.

Xu Le took the staff and cast an "Earth Spike" into the distance, immediately feeling that the casting speed had significantly increased.

However, the most valuable trait was not this one, nor was it the 800 points of added spirit attribute.

It was the last one—Summon Death!

Any monster killed using the staff would become a Puppet; the more it killed, the stronger the staff would become, and soon he would be able to organize his own undead army.

It was a pity there were no monsters nearby, otherwise he really wanted to test the Summon Death Skill.

Putting away the staff, nine strands of black radiance appeared in his hand.

This was what Little Silly Crow had sacrificed through the altar.

[Item] Necrotic Fishman Soul Fragment

[Quality] Epic

[Item Details] A Soul fragment of the Necrotic Fishman sacrificed to the gods, containing its memories from before it died. Using it grants a chance to comprehend the Skills the Necrotic Fishman had in life.

Xu Le was not blinded by the chance to comprehend the Necrotic Fishman's Skills from before it died.

Instead, he focused on the previous sentence: this fragment contained the Necrotic Fishman's memories from before it died.

If he were to be overwritten by the Necrotic Fishman's memories, what difference would that be from being subjected to Possession by the Necrotic Fishman?

It was impossible to say he wasn't tempted.

Death Displacement, Reapers Scythe, and Qi Shield were all top-tier Skills, especially the first two, which were worth more than ten thousand gold.

But Xu Le could not risk himself for this bit of "petty gain," and he didn't feel even a bit of heartache.

He ordered Little Yellow Chicken to breathe fire, burning the dense pile of corpses on the ground to ashes, before flapping his wings and flying towards the upstream boundary.

Along the way, he kept Mind Link active, but he didn't find a single monster in the water.

It was a river of dead silence.

It wasn't until he reached the vicinity of the boundary that a dozen or so Red Carp suddenly emerged from the river.

'The fish upstream really do swim down!'

'I must wipe out all the monsters upstream and downstream.'

'Will the monsters from further upstream come down?'

Xu Le thought, looking at Little Black Snake: "Get those fish onto the shore?"

??!

Little Black Snake jumped into the river and quickly found the school of roaming Red Carp based on the guidance of Mind Link.

As soon as the Red Carp saw Little Black Snake, they were happier than seeing their own father, swarming over in a rush.

Golden Dragon Ascends to Heaven!

Little Black Snake caught the Red Carp rushing at the front and whipped it with its tail.

The Red Carp flew out, and before it could land, Xu Le cast a Mental Shock at it.

[EXP + 15,821]

In the scythe of death staff, the "Summon Death" Skill lit up.

It finally welcomed its first resident.

With a wave of the staff.

A brand new Red Carp appeared.

Without a body.

A transparent body like a ghost.

Its eyes were two points of blood red, which were the Soul flames burning fiercely.

[Ghost Red Carp]

[Rank] 52

[HP] 12,000 / 12,000

[mana] 12,000 / 12,000

[Strength] 800

[Agility] 1,100

[Physique] 0

[spirit] 1,200

[Talent] spirit Body

[Skills]

Water Arrow, Invisibility, Bubble Attack, Frenzied Biting...

Unlike ordinary monsters, the Ghost Red Carp's Physique was 0, with both HP and mana determined by the spirit attribute.

Having lost the [Demonic Qi Contamination] talent, all its attributes were weakened, especially its HP, which was reduced by nearly 4/5.

But it was definitely not weak.

The innate [spirit Body] talent could reduce 80% of physical attacks.

Little Black Snake swam a circle in the water and immediately climbed onto the shore.

The frenzied Red Carp followed it directly up.

Xu Le stepped forward, kicked a Red Carp over, and for the rest, he cast the "Hurricane Howl" Skill, killing them all.

He harvested another group of Ghost Red Carp.

The Ghost Red Carp waiting on the side, having received Xu Le's command, floated towards the Red Carp on the ground.

It shot a "Water Arrow" from a distance.

A red "- 896" number floated up from the head of the Red Carp on the ground, which stopped jumping and likewise shot a water arrow.

- 896.

Then, with a bubble attack, the two Red Carp began to bite each other face-to-face.

The advantage of the Ghost Red Carp's 80% physical damage reduction immediately became apparent.

After another wave of Skill exchanges.

The Ghost Red Carp, relying on a slight advantage, killed the Red Carp monster.
