Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 1336: If You Can’t Hit It, Use Area Attacks**

The Undying Law surged like waves and thick fog, layer upon layer, enveloping the Tree of Death. The Tree of Death was wrapped in a layer of water, which contained water laws, greatly reducing the damage from the Fire Lich. At this moment, the Undying Law collided with the water laws, quickly dissolving them, turning the water into ordinary clear water. Without the water laws, it was difficult to resist the Fire Lich’s attacks. The Fire Lich seized the opportunity, and large amounts of white mist rapidly rose as the water evaporated, making a sizzling sound. The flames once again enveloped the Tree of Death.

The Tree of Death instinctively sensed the danger approaching and became even more frenzied. Vines lashed out, and roots trembled violently. Yellow sand flew in the air, and vines emerged from the sand, lashing at the Skeleton King from tens of thousands of meters away. In fact, the Tree of Death, being in an illusion, could not lock onto the Skeleton King; it could only roughly determine a direction. The Skeleton King, with its massive body over ten thousand meters tall, could not dodge all the vines. The Skeleton King wielded its bone sword, cutting off many vines.

Suddenly, the ground collapsed, and countless roots emerged from the ground, entangling the Skeleton King tightly. The roots pulled with great force, dragging the Skeleton King underground. The Skeleton King lost its balance and fell with a crash. At this moment, countless vines lashed at the Skeleton King, breaking its bones and scattering them. White light spread over the Skeleton King’s body as the Legion Commanders quickly healed it.

The ground roared, and the yellow sandy ground within a hundred thousand meters suddenly collapsed simultaneously, causing the Legion Commanders to lose their balance. Countless roots emerged from the ground within the hundred thousand meters. The extensive root system of the Tree of Death was astonishing. The healing was interrupted, and under the dense vine attacks, the Skeleton King was torn apart and collapsed in less than half a second.

“The power of the illusion is weakening!” Lin Moyu’s heart tightened as he sensed the information transmitted back by the Starlight Lich. Although the Tree of Death was only at the eighth rank of the God King, as a leader monster, the power required to cast an illusion on it far exceeded that for other eighth-rank God Kings. It was even more difficult than dealing with a ninth-rank God King. After maintaining the illusion for over ten minutes, the power of the Starlight Lich’s illusion began to weaken gradually. This allowed the Tree of Death to roughly sense the presence of the Skeleton King and launch a strong attack.

The destruction of the Skeleton King did not surprise Lin Moyu. Its large size was both an advantage and a disadvantage. At this moment, Lin Moyu and the Stone Demons had already reached the base of the Tree of Death, and the Skeleton King’s mission was complete. The Stone Demons quickly transformed into their normal shapes. They spread their bodies and swung their massive fists at the Tree of Death. The stones emitted a hazy light, and the fists carried earth and stone laws, striking like hammer blows. The Stone Demons’ attacks were simple and unadorned, with no fancy techniques, just solid blows. They had no special abilities, only a few spells to enhance their defense. Their attack power was not strong, making them weak among those of the same rank. However, their endurance was astonishing, allowing them to attack continuously. Given enough time, the total damage they caused would not be small.

The fists rained down like a storm, creating holes in the sturdy tree bark. The bark exploded, revealing the tree flesh inside. The Stone Demons did not stop, their attacks becoming more fierce, smashing the tree flesh into pieces. Lin Moyu’s bone sword also did not stop, slicing large pieces of bark into fragments. His power was extremely strong, reaching the limit of the ninth rank of the God King. The damage he caused alone was comparable to that of all the Stone Demons combined.

The water laws on the surface of the Tree of Death had been corroded by the Undying Law, and the water was evaporated by the Fire Lich, allowing the flames to once again envelop the Tree of Death. The Tree of Death sensed the threat to its life, and the entire trunk began to shake violently. Numerous leaves fell from the tree, each over a meter in diameter, extremely large. The leaves danced in the air and then exploded with a roar. As the leaves exploded, thunder roared, and countless electric snakes flew out, forming a dense electric net that enveloped Lin Moyu and all the Stone Demons.

The Fire Lich and the Starlight Lich were also affected by the electric net, and the projected Law Star River trembled as if it would collapse at any moment. The electric snakes struck the Stone Demons, tearing their skin and flesh. The Stone Demons were paralyzed and unable to attack. Lin Moyu was not affected by abnormal states, and although the lightning laws in the electric snakes could harm him, it was still within his tolerance. The undead in the spell star shared his damage, and the Legion Commanders continuously healed the undead.

“Another area attack!” “If you can’t hit it, use area attacks. As expected of a leader monster, it’s really smart.” The Tree of Death, affected by the illusion, could not lock onto specific targets. Even though the illusion had weakened, Lin Moyu and the Stone Demons were too small, like birds on a tree to the Tree of Death. Therefore, area attacks became the best choice, covering all directions so no one could escape.

The Stone Demons were paralyzed, unable to move, and were attacked by the electric snakes. The electric snakes seemed to have eyes, focusing on the attacked Stone Demons and intensifying their attacks. Lin Moyu’s eyes narrowed, knowing it was because there were too few Stone Demons. If there were over a hundred eighth-rank God King Stone Demons, they wouldn’t fear such area attacks. The electric snake attacks, like his spells, had a characteristic: the more targets they attacked, the weaker the power. With enough Stone Demons, the damage could be distributed. But now, with less than twenty Stone Demons, they were at a disadvantage.

With a determined heart, Lin Moyu commanded, “Self-destruct!” The command was given, and a loud explosion followed. A Stone Demon self-destructed, and the massive force swept out. The Stone Demon was close to the Tree of Death, so most of the self-destruct force was borne by the Tree of Death. Immediately, the other Stone Demons also self-destructed. Explosions continued, breaking many branches and roots. Huge holes were blasted in the tree trunk. The bark had already been destroyed by the fists, and now even the tree flesh inside was blasted into terrifying gaps.

In the midst of the self-destruction, Lin Moyu saw a touch of green, followed by a strange aura. This aura contained powerful life laws. “Life laws!” Lin Moyu was very sensitive to life laws and immediately sensed them. At the center of the tree trunk was a green tree core, containing life laws. “No wonder its vitality is so strong; it has hidden life laws!” “Destroying the tree core will severely damage the Tree of Death.”

Lin Moyu raised his bone sword and slashed at the tree core. Spell: God-Slaying! The sword light exploded on the tree core, creating dense cracks. The most troublesome part was not the God-Slaying strike itself but the death power within the Undying Law. The death power penetrated the tree core, corroding the life laws inside. The tree core was attacked, and the Tree of Death shook violently. Numerous vines lashed out, and Lin Moyu turned and swung his sword, creating a sword curtain that cut off all the vines. The Fire Lich then flew in, diving into the tree core. In an instant, flames soared, engulfing the entire Tree of Death.
