Instead, he was thinking about how to quickly annihilate all the enemies and convert them into points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the neatly arranged Skeletons under his command, Fang Zhou waved his hand and led them toward the centaur squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, he transmitted his thoughts through their spiritual link. The fifty Undead immediately split into two long columns, spreading out to encircle the enemy from both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the distance gradually closed, the nearby centaur squad finally noticed the commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Centaur Priest seated at the center suddenly opened its eyes. Together with the Centaur Champions, who had turned to stand guard, it looked in Fang Zhou’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enemies!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alert!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Protect the Priest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid a burst of fierce shouts, all the Centaur Warriors swiftly rose to their feet. Gripping their weapons tightly, they joined the Centaur Champions in forming a protective circle around the Priest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Priest, it’s the Undead!\" one Centaur Warrior shouted, its voice clearly tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it’s an Undead Mage!\" another champion corrected, its tone filled with caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Centaur Priest’s expression grew solemn, Spiritual Power surging around its body. It had already spotted Fang Zhou behind the horde of Undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think I’d encounter such a rare being!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing an encounter of this scale, Fang Zhou knew a solo surprise attack would not yield significant results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he did not choose to hide but directly revealed himself along with his numerous Skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the distance between them continued to close, Fang Zhou and the Centaur Priest began chanting their Spells at almost the exact same moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Totem Pillar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Centaur Priest’s voice reverberated through the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As its spell concluded, a beam of light shot up from the ground, forming a totem that radiated a warm glow. It provided healing and buffs to the centaur squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Death Ripple!\" Fang Zhou’s voice followed closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his spell concluded, a sphere of undead energy shot straight toward the centaur squad. It exploded in mid-air, unleashing the descending Death Ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a flurry of damage numbers appeared over the centaurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their wounds were quickly mended by the Totem Pillar’s healing effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elite Caster, just as I thought!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhou’s heart tightened as he saw the feedback from the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched the Centaur Warriors clashing with his Skeletons. Although they dealt some damage, they recovered almost instantly due to the Totem Pillar’s healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an elite Caster, the Centaur Priest provided a massive boost to the entire centaur squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To capture the bandits, first capture their king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that principle in mind, Fang Zhou immediately commanded, \"Skeleton Shackles! Skeleton Flying Spear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhou directly sent a Skeleton Double Strike at the Centaur Priest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Centaur Priest failed to break free from the Skeleton Shackles, instead releasing an earthy yellow Shield that barely managed to slow the Skeleton Flying Spear’s attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, under its howling command, three Centaur Warriors charged fearlessly forward, using their bodies to firmly block the Skeleton Flying Spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, due to the Skeleton Flying Spear’s explosion, the Centaur Priest still felt a bone-deep agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It let out an angry howl, causing the Centaur Champions at the front to turn around in fright, thinking the Priest had met with some disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Skeleton Flying Spear went on cooldown, but Fang Zhou didn’t stop his assault, quickly using an area-of-effect Attack Skill to fill the gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Death Ripple!\" Fang Zhou’s voice echoed through the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mass of gray-black energy slowly began to swirl within his Undead Magic Ball, causing the surrounding air to suddenly turn frigid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, streams of gray-black mist materialized out of thin air above the centaur squad, and a visible frost began to rapidly condense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, an inconspicuous gray-black pillar of light erupted. A chilling wave of energy rushed downward toward the centaur squad at astonishing speed, engulfing them all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The centaurs struck by the Death Ripple emitted ear-piercing screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies felt as if they’d been submerged in a glacial lake, overwhelmed by the frigid current. Their skin was instantly slashed open, and their blood rapidly coagulated under the erosion of Death Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>",935,"2026-06-05T17:55:41.027Z",1,"novelbin.me","2ff77526e3032ebbc05a0e1ea2e3c226992de8c94da0ca47a1cbfe83d174db31","undead-mage-i-have-a-skeleton-clone-chapter-417","undead-mage-i-have-a-skeleton-clone-chapter-415",781,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fundead-mage-i-have-a-skeleton-clone-cover.jpg"]
