In the second-level area of the mausoleum, a large number of Lickers blocked a relatively narrow maze passage.
The invading Hanu Empire's undead Sun-Blessed Skeletons were arranged in a row at the front, resisting the erosion of the foremost Licker horde.
Behind them, the Nether Clan's priestly team provided long-range output support.
Collette, the Hani clan general who arrived first, stared ahead, her hands forming a seal in front of her.
A gray aura spread out from under Collette's feet.
Under the effect of the seal, everything within the surrounding area was tainted by a black mist.
[Hint: Player has entered the Corrosive Domain. Under the current domain's effect, player's defense is reduced by 70%, and player's health recovery effect is reduced by 50%].
Fang Heng was hiding not far away, observing from a distance, his brow furrowed.
No wonder the zombie clones couldn't withstand it despite being so tanky.
The invaders also possessed special domain effects.
The domain ability could weaken health recovery effects, and coupled with the unique health weakening of the Death Realm, the zombie clones' health recovery speed was greatly reduced due to the superposition of the two.
Although the Licker horde was still tanky compared to other creatures, they were showing signs of fatigue and couldn't hold on.
Under the concentrated fire of a group of Nether Clan mages in the rear, the number of Lickers began to slowly decrease.
Collette also frowned deeply.
Corrosion ability was her specialty.
Within the Corrosive Domain, coupled with a specialized corrosion effect, the enemy's defense had been weakened to an extremely low level.
It was precisely because of this that they were able to quickly invade the lower-level area as the first team.
But the Lickers were terrifyingly durable.
Even after being weakened like this, they could still withstand a large amount of attack damage.
Even the Sun-Blessed Skeletons were dying in large numbers.
Moreover, in the very narrow environment of the mausoleum maze, they were blocked outside, unable to unleash the concentrated fire capabilities of the mage team.
"Let's see how long you can hold out!"
Collette was a little anxious.
Within the Queen's Mausoleum area, their strength was also significantly suppressed.
Moreover, they would likely have to deal with death knights later, so she didn't want to waste too much energy here, and chose to slowly wear down Fang Heng's Licker horde.
"Chirp, chirp chirp..."
Suddenly, Collette noticed some sound coming from the passage behind the Lickers.
Collette looked forward.
What was that!?
From within the Licker horde, along the ground and walls, rapidly climbing and extending, were thin vines!
"Swoosh! Swoosh swoosh!!!!!"
The vines quickly covered and entangled the Sun-Blessed Skeletons in front of the team, and after entangling them, they exerted force, dragging the skeletons towards the depths of the passage.
Collette immediately sensed something was wrong.
First the Lickers, and now these strange vine creatures.
There was a problem!
Swoosh! Swoosh swoosh!!
While she was thinking, the rapidly spreading vines on the ground had already shot towards her!
Collette held a gray short blade and quickly slashed forward!
Whoosh!
A gray dark light flashed.
The vines spreading forward on the ground instantly became covered with a layer of ashen gray under the short blade's strike.
The vines visibly lost their vitality and quickly withered.
"There's a problem!"
Collette realized the situation was a bit strange.
The last time they entered the Queen's Mausoleum for exploration was thousands of years ago.
At that time, Lickers and vine objects had not been discovered.
Was it related to the new intruder?
Just as Collette was feeling suspicious, she suddenly sensed a feeling of being watched and looked up towards the depths of the passage.
A figure sprang out of the space, and the holy attribute light blooming in the figure's hand made Collette's pupils shrink.
"Boom!!!"
Collette was knocked backward by the holy greatsword!
"Buzz...!"
The second-stage holy ripples that spread outward cleared a large area of Sun-Blessed Skeletons!
Fang Heng frowned slightly.
The invaders were strong!
After one exchange, he felt that the opponent's strength was at least no weaker than the first-stage death knight.
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!"
Seeing the enemy, the mage corps behind Collette's team instantly released a large number of dark explosive orbs, all locked onto Fang Heng's frontal assault.
Fang Heng was prepared, raised his hand forward, and a blood curtain opened in front of him!
"Bang bang bang!!"
The dense dark explosive orbs bombarded the blood curtain and exploded.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
Taking advantage of the gap in Fang Heng's attack, the vines on the ground rapidly spread forward!
The second wave of Lickers also quickly sprang out from the blood curtain!
"Heh..."
Collette, who had just been knocked back, had a sneer on her lips. She quickly supported herself from the ground and formed a seal with both hands in front of her.
"Bind!"
Swoosh!
The surrounding Death Realm aura was guided, condensing in front of Collette into a roaring evil dragon phantom, crashing along the narrow maze passage!
Fang Heng's face was solemn, and he quickly clenched his hand in mid-air into a fist.
"Thorn!"
Swoosh! Swoosh swoosh!!
The dense blood-colored barrier in front of him instantly formed dense spikes, frantically stabbing at the dragon head formed by the condensed undead black mist!
The blood thorns fiercely pierced into the dragon head shadow!
"Roar!!"
Under the crazy stabbing of the blood-colored spikes, the dragon head let out a violent roar and exploded.
The exploding black mist aura blew the rushing Lickers and vines backward, while obscuring the vision.
Swoosh!
In the next instant, Collette flashed out of the exploding black mist!
Wherever Collette's body was shrouded, everything was covered with a layer of deathly gray.
The surrounding vines withered rapidly under the effect of the gray domain!
"Whoosh!!!"
Collette swung the short blade in her hand, heavily colliding with the holy greatsword that Fang Heng swept forward!
"Bang!!!"
At the point where the short blade collided with the holy greatsword, a layer of shadow immediately appeared on the holy greatsword.
Huh?
Collette once again felt a terrifying force coming, and her body involuntarily leaned backward. At the same time, she glanced at the shadow on the greatsword, and a hint of surprise appeared in her heart.
Boom!!!
The second-stage holy ripple power of the holy greatsword took effect, and Collette was once again knocked away by the holy ripples!
When Collette adjusted her body and landed again, and looked up again, Fang Heng had already retreated into the shadows.
"Don't chase."
Collette's attack did not work. She reached out and stopped everyone, and looked up at the depths entangled by layers of vines in front of her, her eyes showing unparalleled solemnity.
The Death Short Blade in her hand was an ancestral inheritance that could cause corrosion to weapons.
Countless divine weapons had died at the hands of this short blade.
However, it was completely ineffective against that holy greatsword.
Moreover...
The power he used just now looked very much like it came from the God Domain.
