Chapter 387: Chapter 283: Killing into the Dog Emperor's Palace, No Mercy!
The ointment nation is home to many Onmyoji professionals, and breeding ghost creatures can enhance their combat abilities.
Therefore, there are many places within the ointment nation for breeding ghost creatures, with Tokyo City having three of the largest ghost breeding grounds.
The Onmyo Holy Palace, the Dog Emperor's Royal Palace, and the Yasukuni Divine Latrine.
The Yasukuni Divine Latrine had already been bombarded into ruins by Zi Liyuan with the Magic Crystal Cannon, the war-criminal spirits inside were all annihilated in a sneak attack, and their spoils of war had been thoroughly looted by Edward and his vampires.
As for the Onmyo Holy Palace, Zi Liyuan knew his strength was insufficient, and he didn't dare provoke it.
The Dog Emperor's Royal Palace, normally with formidable defense forces, was even able to call upon the support of the Wokou Army within Tokyo City at any time, making it unthinkable to target this place.
But things were different now, with most of the Wokou Army inside Tokyo City resisting the undead disaster and only a minority stationed at certain key locations.
The Wokou's high-level combat power had been halved, assigned with the task of attacking the Great Xia Empire.
The other half of the high-end combat power needed to keep the entire ointment nation in check and thus was highly scattered, making it very difficult to mobilize in time to support Tokyo City.
Zi Liyuan's layers of calculations had resulted in an extremely rare situation where the defensive forces of the Dog Emperor's Royal Palace were depleted.
With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him, how could he not go big, slaughter a few more Wokou high-ranking members, and do justice to his pleasant mood of sightseeing in Tokyo City?
So, with the Epic Beast team as the spearhead, the Dread Knight Legion harvesting and sweeping, and the Wraith Mage team intercepting support, the main strategy was straightforward: exploit their vulnerability and kill them off!
However, as the sixth in command, Lord Zi, after explaining everything clearly, turned around and yet again took out a random space Teleportation Scroll!
As the mastermind, initiator, and commander of this undead disaster, and an already notorious super cute character in the ointment nation, how could he appear on the battlefield and draw attention?
As the saying goes, "The wise do not stand under a collapsing wall," and of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best.
For the sake of his own little life, hiding in a safe place in the rear is the best strategy!
When Zi Liyuan reappeared, he was already in an underground room.
This was a shelter he had found during this period, the closest to the Dog Emperor's Royal Palace.
It was an abandoned basement, not very large, about thirty square meters, and except for the vent, the other passages connected to the basement had already been blocked by him and Dailisi a few days ago.
This was his chosen refuge, where safety came first!
Especially since this place was close to the Dog Emperor's Royal Palace, it allowed him to remotely control the many undead and epic beasts he summoned from this location.
When his Spirit spread out, especially after using various special equipment, medicine, props, food, and scrolls to enhance his state,
Zi Liyuan's Soul Value had reached a horrifying eight thousand, and the range that his Spirit covered had tripled in size!
Hiding in this underground room, he could see almost half of the battlefield of the undead disaster and could also see the Epic Beasts and the Dread Knight Legion assaulting the Dog Emperor's Royal Palace.
But what captured Lord Zi's attention the most was the Demon Spider with a super bomb attached to it.
This creature was fast, after all, with eight legs it was quick to escape, and being an Epic Boss, it had a horde of strong allies clearing the way, so it charged straight to the border between the palace and the ghost breeding ground.
Then, with a twist of its head, it rushed into the ghost breeding ground.
The Demon Spider was not a contract servant of Lord Zi, so he could not sense its exact location, but through the vision of other undead creatures, he could generally see the giant spider monster being mobbed by a swarm of ghost creatures.
Even as a Third Order LV80 Epic Boss, it was still at a disadvantage when being beaten by a group of Fourth Order ghost creatures.
There was no helping it; the number of ghost creatures was simply too great.
As one of the three largest ghost breeding grounds in the ointment nation, this one of the Royal Palace was specially provided for royal family members and senior officials to furnish them with strong Shikigami.
Therefore, the ghost creatures bred here were extremely vicious spirits, mostly Third Order and above, with Fourth Order spirits being quite common.
The only good news was that the Demon Spider had the Epic Boss template with a very thick health bar and high resistances, so even while being mobbed, its health was not decreasing too rapidly.
It could last at least ten or twenty minutes before there would be any worry about being killed.
If it could hold on for that long, then there was absolutely no problem because, following the instructions of the Undead Dwarf, Lord Zi had set a timer on the super bomb for just ten minutes!
In other words, as long as the Demon Spider could survive for ten minutes without being killed, it would then transform into a super bomb in the next moment, allowing these ferocious spirits to experience the exploding might of a mushroom cloud.
On the other hand, the Epic Beasts had begun attacking the protective barriers of the Dog Emperor's Royal Palace.
The Gold Behemoth, an elite troop, struck powerfully with each swipe of the claw, creating ripples across the protective barrier.
The Frost Giant, meanwhile, attacked with its icy claws while using its innate ice talent to unleash powerful single-target ice spells, focusing its attacks on one point in an attempt to break through the barrier by puncturing it.
The three-headed Hydra Monster started to coordinate, with heads of the same element merging their powers and then unleashing even more powerful single-element spells to target the same spot on the barrier.
