304: Undead Giant
"If I could control undead like this, my own skills would perfectly complement each other!"
Gu Qinghan finally understood what his mentor had told him: his skills were incomplete.
Most of the abilities he had acquired came from the 'bone' aspect of the six fundamental powers.
The previous Han Dongxu's power seemed to come from 'soul,' but unfortunately, Gu Qinghan had swiftly killed him.
And this Torres's power seemed to come from 'blood.'
There must have been other Necromancers before, each with a different primary focus for their powers.
But now, only Torres and Gu Qinghan remained.
No matter who emerged victorious from this battle, they would be the last Necromancer.
Gu Qinghan sensed his self-created skill, which was only 50% complete. Each use would advance its progress.
And soon, he would be able to use this skill again.
However, Gu Qinghan was pondering a question: Torres didn't seem to be fighting with his full strength.
Because the Heart of Curse allowed him to sense danger in advance, and a faint, elusive sense of danger emanated from Torres in the distance.
"What is he hiding?"
It wasn't yet time for Gu Qinghan to feign betrayal; otherwise, any non-foolish Torres would see through it.
The Blood Tide finished devouring the Witch's energy and once again spread towards Gu Qinghan and the others.
Along the way, any skeletons and wights caught in its path were swallowed, becoming part of the Blood Tide.
"Keep an eye on the Blood Tide; don't let it get any closer."
The Witch nodded slightly upon hearing Gu Qinghan's voice, then shifted her attack target to the Blood Tide.
Torres, seeing the situation stabilized, suddenly sighed.
A small bottle, containing bright red liquid, suddenly appeared in his hand.
It was his own blood.
This Torres was clearly not his main body, but it didn't matter; he had already made certain preparations.
Torres threw the bottle of blood forward, and the glass bottle flew out of the building's range, rapidly falling towards the ground.
A piercing sound of shattering glass erupted, but at this moment, it was completely drowned out by the sounds of battle.
However, the bright red blood quickly spread, seeping into the ground at an extremely fast rate.
It was as if something underground was rapidly sucking up the blood.
Gu Qinghan couldn't see this scene because Torres was too far away from them.
But what he could see was Torres throwing something towards the ground.
He was about to warn the Witch to be careful when he noticed the ground suddenly shaking.
This tremor wasn't caused by the fighting of skeletons and wights, but by something that seemed to be emerging from underground!
He looked at Torres in the distance, only to see the building beneath him tilting to one side.
At the same time, that corpulent figure also fell towards the ground.
Gu Qinghan understood that the opponent would certainly not commit suicide.
So what was Torres's purpose in doing this?
The answer was quickly revealed: from within the gradually collapsing building, a thick, grayish-white arm suddenly extended.
The arm steadily caught Torres, then loosely cupped him, protecting him.
"Look, there's a Giant over there!"
Someone immediately noticed the commotion; amidst rolling dust, the figure of a Giant emerged.
More precisely, it seemed to have crawled out.
This fellow was like a Wight magnified countless times. As it appeared from the ruins, it also placed Torres on its shoulder.
This Wight was at least thirty stories high, meaning its height was close to a hundred meters!
This was Torres's hidden fifth Wight, the Undead Giant!
But this fellow hadn't reached perfection yet, but to deal with Gu Qinghan, Torres had to summon it.
The Witch was about to act, but Gu Qinghan stopped her.
"Your mission is to stabilize the Blood Tide and those Hundred Battle Wights.
Leave the rest to me."
Leave the rest to me.
These four words were so firm, yet they caused the Witch's recently tensed heart to gently relax.
Gu Qinghan subtly made a lifting motion with his hand, and the shattered bones on the ground suddenly flew rapidly into the sky as if summoned.
Everyone from the Phoenix showed expressions of surprise and doubt, only the Witch didn't show too much astonishment.
Because she knew, this was Gu Qinghan's most terrifying skill.
A huge skeleton formed, followed by other parts of the body.
In less than ten seconds, a Giant Skeleton Whale over a hundred meters long appeared in everyone's sight.
The Giant Skeleton Whale blocked the sunlight, casting a large shadow over the people below.
However, at this moment, this shadow also brought an intense sense of security.
The moment the Giant Skeleton Whale appeared, it hurled two waves of white bones towards the Undead Giant.
The Undead Giant had just prepared to run when it was met head-on by the terrifying bone waves.
Countless shattered bones, like a grinding machine, scoured the Undead Giant's body, seemingly intending to grind it into powder.
But this fellow's body was truly solid; the first wave of bone only left some fine scratches on it.
If this guy were considered a person, his current injuries would probably be like being brushed a few times by a stiff-bristled brush.
Immediately after, the second bone wave also surged over, with the momentum to knock the Undead Giant down.
Everyone from the Phoenix watched the situation there while fighting; they knew that to kill Torres, the confrontation between Gu Qinghan and him was key.
At the same time, they also felt a chill of fear.
Before, when they came here to crusade against Torres, it was highly probable that this Undead Giant was unable to fight.
If Torres had summoned this Undead Giant back then, they would definitely not have been able to return.
Under everyone's gaze, the second bone wave met the Undead Giant.
But this time, many black whirlpools actually appeared on the Undead Giant's body.
And when the terrifying bone wave struck it, more than half of it was devoured by these black whirlpools.
Subsequently, a hint of white even appeared on the Undead Giant's body.
That was the color of bone!
Gu Qinghan's brow furrowed instantly; he stared intently at the Undead Giant in the distance, his mind rapidly racing.
The black whirlpools on this Undead Giant's body seemed capable of devouring everything!
Moreover, this devouring effect seemed somewhat similar to the Blood Tide's devouring effect.
The Undead Giant was unharmed within the second Blood Tide, and even its injuries were filled in by white bones.
Even without seeing Torres's expression, Gu Qinghan knew that he must be smiling.
"I understand. It turns out this guy had already shown me the power of the demon he contracted with."
