Chapter 139: The Power of the Improved Decaying Self-Destructor

In order to let Li Er level up faster and allow the other hero servants to gain experience, Zhou Chu began to summon several hero servants from the Emperor Tomb.

Somewhat unexpectedly, all three hero servants arrived.

Only the King-level servant, Lich King Pantos, was absent.

Was it the kingly aura Pantos possessed that made him disdainful, or did the effect of Obedience have no influence on him?

However, the Lich King soon provided Zhou Chu with an answer.

He did not like fighting and killing; he only wanted to devote his life's energy wholeheartedly to the research of the Death Secret Art.

A dignified generation of Lich King actually disdained slaughter, only wanting to hide in this Coffin of the Dead all day and devote his entire life to research.

He would work until his heart stopped beating, until his dying day.

Zhou Chu could not help but feel somewhat stunned.

After all, in his understanding, an existence like the Lich King should be one who traverses through bloody slaughter, striking fear into others with powerful strength and ruthless Death Secret Arts.

Yet this Lich King before him actually disdained slaughter and only thought about delving into the Death Secret Art, which truly overturned his perception.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own aspirations, and Zhou Chu did not intend to force him.

The Lich King's obsession with the research of the Death Secret Art could also, to a large extent, allow Zhou Chu's strength to be greatly improved.

Those wild, imaginative Death Secret Arts of Pantos were likewise a powerful aid to Zhou Chu.

Thinking about it now, having the Lich King was equivalent to Zhou Chu having a mobile secret technique laboratory.

As long as Pantos successfully developed a new gadget, Zhou Chu could immediately put it to use.

Just like now, after a night of painstaking research, Pantos successfully finished improving the Decaying Self-Destructor and proactively deposited it into Zhou Chu's Contract Pool.

The improved Decaying Self-Destructor had undergone significant changes compared to the past, and its grade had also reached S-Grade.

【Decaying Self-Destructor】(S-Grade)

【Blood Value:】

【Soul Power Value: 1】

【Attack Power: 1000】

【Strength: 1】

【Constitution: 100】

【Soul Power: 1】

【Agility: 200】

【Skill: Decaying Self-Destruction—After being killed (the contractor can also control it at will), it triggers a self-destruction with a corrosive aura, dealing explosive damage to all targets within a 20×20 meter range equal to current Attack Power × contractor's current Soul Power attribute. At the same time, the resulting corrosion effect deals continuous damage to the target per second equal to the contractor's current Soul Power attribute, lasting for 30 seconds.】

From the attributes, one could see at a glance that the Decaying Self-Destructor's own Attack Power was very low, only 1000 points.

However, this self-destruction ability was determined by the level of Zhou Chu's own Soul Power attribute.

That is to say, the damage produced by the self-destruction was equivalent to 1000 times his current Soul Power attribute.

The higher Zhou Chu's Soul Power attribute, the stronger the damage.

Moreover, it could cause continuous corrosive damage after self-destruction, and the corrosive damage caused per second was also linked to Zhou Chu's Soul Power attribute.

It could be said that the power of the Decaying Self-Destructor was entirely closely related to the strength of Zhou Chu himself.

However, taking Zhou Chu, who had just undergone the Second Transfer, as an example, a single Decaying Self-Destructor could reach nearly 700,000 damage.

This damage could be described as quite heaven-defying.

In the Nightmare-difficulty Iron Wasteland, the experience from these minor undead mecha mobs alone was quite considerable.

And the quantity was not small; if these mobs could be lured together, Zhou Chu felt he should be able to wipe them out in one go.

It was just the right time to test the power of the Decaying Self-Destructor.

Thus, Zhou Chu designated an explosion point, had Li Er lure as many monsters as possible to the explosion point, and simultaneously arranged for more than ten Calamity Knights to use their speed advantage to lure monsters from other areas to the explosion point as well.

As for himself, he summoned more than ten Decaying Self-Destructors from the Contract Pool to stand by in battle formation.

In an instant, the roar of missiles and the strafing of machine guns on the Iron Wasteland intertwined; sand and dust were swept up, the visibility of the entire area became very low, and it had almost turned into a mess.

Li Er flew and shuttled nimbly among the many undead mecha, skillfully dodging the missiles fired from different directions and the machine gun bullets that fell like raindrops time and time again.

At the same time, the two Ion Light Swords in her hands transformed into two long, light-based ropes, continuously pulling the monsters in the distance toward the explosion point as much as possible.

As more and more undead mecha were gathered together, friendly fire between them was a common occurrence.

After all, these undead mecha possessed powerful long-range firepower, and it was common to see many undead mecha suffer damage from their companions' firepower coverage and be blasted into fragments in an instant.

Compared to Li Er, it was much harder for those dozen or so Calamity Knights to lure the monsters.

Although the speed of the Calamity Knights was not slow, the difficulty of dodging the powerful firepower of the undead mecha was extremely high.

Before long, two or three Calamity Knights would die under the firepower coverage of the undead mecha.

Seeing this, Zhou Chu had no choice but to replenish some Calamity Knights to join the massive monster-luring ranks.

After all, as S-Grade high-defense contract servants, these Calamity Knights were still quite durable compared to those infantry Chaos Dead Soldiers.

Moreover, Zhou Chu's Contract Pool could produce one Contract Material per second, so this bit of attrition was almost negligible.

Just at this moment, two undead mecha suddenly deviated from their aggro, then brandished the giant swords in their hands and charged toward Zhou Chu.

Zhou Chu did not hesitate and hurriedly ordered a Decaying Self-Destructor to rush up and block them.

The next moment, this Decaying Self-Destructor roared crazily and met those two undead mecha at an extremely fast speed.

The speed of up to 200 points was truly no joke; it was almost on par with the speed of the Calamity Knights.

It collided with the two undead mecha in an instant.

"Explode!"

Zhou Chu's consciousness had been following this Decaying Self-Destructor, and the moment he saw it collide with the two undead mecha, he immediately snapped his fingers.

With a loud "Boom—", the Decaying Self-Destructor suddenly self-destructed, and a blood-red mushroom cloud rose up in that area instantly.

The intense shockwave spread rapidly in all directions with the explosion point as the center, sweeping through the surrounding 20-meter range once again.

Those two undead mechs were instantly blown into fragments, and at the same time, the shockwave also affected several nearby undead mechs, which likewise could not avoid the fate of being killed in seconds.

Zhou Chu was momentarily stunned by the scene before him, and his heart was deeply shocked.

This improved Corruptor was nothing like the previous C4 bomb; its power was almost comparable to a miniature nuclear bomb.

It really is too satisfying!

At this moment, two blue beams of light streaked across the sky.

Li Er simply transformed the two light-based ropes in her hands into a huge net of light, shrouding these chaotic undead mechs within it.

Following that, she pulled hard with both arms, and the large net tightened instantly; the undead mechs trapped inside were like fish caught in a net, struggling but unable to break free.

Just like that, they were dragged by Li Er into the explosion point designated by Zhou Chu.

Zhou Chu was once again stunned by this maneuver from Li Er.

He could not help but sigh to himself.

Could this be the true strength of a Psionicist?
