Versatile Mage: I have a proficiency panel

Chapter 19: String Killing
Kill Music Strings!

The trembling sound like the sound of a longbow string vibrating spread out in all directions, and a crescent-shaped light whizzed past, passing the crowd with Bai Jue as the center and heading straight for the cancerous corpse general. The crescent-shaped light was narrow, long and sharp, like a shocking blade slash, tearing a half-body wound on his body, and countless black rotten corpses around were cut in half!
The corpse general wailed and poisonous blood splattered everywhere, but since its core was not injured, this seemingly serious injury was actually nothing to it. It stomped suddenly, and the poisonous blood scattered on the ground flew up. The corpse poison in its body became more violent, and countless corpse poison arrows attacked it.

Lin Mo, who was the first to be hit, relied on the holy shield on his body to not be afraid of the poison arrows and drew the star map with confidence. When the poison arrows broke the holy shield, the green light ball seeds also fell to the ground. Countless strange-looking trees, vines, and buds sprang up, squeezed out the soil, and then grew vigorously at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Some of them entangled together, and then quickly multiplied more branches and vines, while some continued to spread toward the surface, quickly encircling a large territory belonging to these madly growing plants, directly covering the cancerous corpses to form a prison, blocking the black rotten corpses gathering around them.

Kun's Forest·Cage!
But just when Lin Mo was concentrating on controlling the plants, a strange shadow appeared behind him. This shadow stood up directly from behind him, and its outline was like a strong standing demon sheep, and even its horns were the inward-curved devil horns!

The plant vines were too dense, the surrounding shadows were mottled, and most of the team's attention was on the tumor corpse general, so no one seemed to notice this situation.

This black shadowy goat-horned creature held a sharp object similar to a dagger in its hand, and was about to cut Lin Mo's throat silently...

The sound of metal colliding was heard, and a strand of silk blocked the dagger. Before the dagger fell, Lin Mo was already covered with a layer of light armor.

The light system is too intimidating to these dark undead ghosts. Even if it is just the passive defense of the armor magic, the ghost is like touching a hot molten iron, burning it and making it let out a sharp weird cry!

The ghostly shadow was startled by the sudden intrusion of the light armor, and after a strange cry, it hid in the shadows of the prison, waiting for an opportunity to move. Everyone only saw its hideous and strange face at the moment when their eyes were focused.

As old men who have been immersed in the battlefield of the undead for two years, Lin Mo and his companions have faced many similar situations and have been prepared. Bai Jue's move surprised them even more. Could that thin silk thread block the life-threatening attack of a general-level demon?

"Captain, you guys go and deal with the malignant corpse first, and leave this goat-horned ghost to me." The silk thread was tightened in Bai Jue's hand and cut across the surroundings, forcing the ghost to start moving its position.

"Bai Zhu, go and assist Ajue. That is the Sealed-Throat Horned Ghost, one of the most dangerous species among the ghost generals. Their ability to control shadows and launch sneak attacks surpasses all shadow mages of the same level. Be careful and wait for our support." Lin Mo did not hesitate. The demon-slaying tool in his hand glowed and chopped towards the cancerous corpse general.

"Wind Disk·Tornado!" Zeng Yue knew that Lin Mo intended to end the battle quickly and immediately uttered the name of the wind spell.

The dragon scroll coiled around the ground and soared upwards. The wind was invisible and colorless, but the branches and dust it rolled up outlined its shocking trunk. It gathered towards the corpse general, tearing its body apart with great force and suppressing it so that it could not move.

"There's no need to worry. Ajue is a sound master. The location of the Sealed Throat Horn Ghost is clearly visible to him. We just need to proceed step by step and not be infected by the corpse poison." Although Jian Xiang said this, he did not slow down the outline of the star track map, and thunderbolts fell from the sky.

……

As Jian Xiang said, the Sealed Horned Ghost was a living target in front of Bai Jue, and its ability to lurk in the dark was useless. Magicians have the ability to perceive. By releasing their thoughts, they can detect abnormal movements within a radius of tens or hundreds of meters. The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the perception ability.

As for the sound mage, the so-called perception of other mages is not even a fraction of his. All unusual movements are inseparable from sound. As long as the sound mage listens quietly, the movements of all creatures will be completely controlled by the sound mage.

"When facing this type of monster, you should let A Xiang to assist you. Light is its nemesis. I don't know what the captain is thinking... I can use violent waves to compress its activity space. Now it depends on A Jue." Bai Zhu drew the star map and looked around vigilantly.

"There's no need to be alert to the Sealed Horned Demon. The warrior approaching from outside the prison is the real trouble." Bai Jue's eyes turned to the outside of the vine forest. Those silk threads had somehow woven into a trap, blocking off all the shadowy places.

The silk threads gathered and trembled, and the body of the Sealed Horned Demon was not strong enough, and was directly cut into many pieces of black shadow fragments. It died on the spot. The shadow ability was ineffective, and it could not even catch up with the slave-level demon.

"This is a zither string made of silk spit out by the Tianshan Ice Silkworm. It is difficult for demons below the commander level to destroy it. The move I used just now is called the String Killing Technique." Bai Jue noticed Bai Zhu's gaze towards the zither string and began to explain.

After studying music under Zhang Yanguang for two years, Bai Jue likes this technique of using the strings as magic tools very much and uses it most skillfully, which is why he named it "String Killing".

"I see. But who is the warrior outside the prison?"

"Although the team in the east has eliminated a skeleton warrior, they also suffered heavy losses. They also encountered a flying warrior, which happened to be heading towards us."

As soon as Bai Jue finished speaking, the sharp wind blade cut through a part of the vines. Three mages were fleeing towards this side, struggling to resist the attack of the undead behind them.

The undead was covered in gray hair, and when its sharp black wings flapped, wind blades struck it, making it look like a cat playing with a mouse.

"That's a big evil ghost. It often hides in the night like a bat and passes over people's heads like a gust of wind. Then a blood hole will appear on the top of the head. The next second a stream of blood mixed with the fluid in the brain will spray out. It is also good at shadow." Bai Zhu recognized this kind of monster and had dealt with it before. This thing is more difficult to deal with than the Sealed Horned Ghost. No wonder the mage team was broken up.

Kill fun · Explosion!

As they were on the same team fighting against the undead, Bai Jue would naturally not stand by and watch the person die if he had the strength to spare. Invisible ripples spread in the direction of the big evil ghost, and then suddenly exploded!
Bai Zhu also used Water Defense to attach it to the fleeing mages, blocking the wind blades for them.

The vibration of the sound waves made the Great Disaster Ghost a little unbalanced, and black ghost mist spread out as its wings flapped. These ghost mists were similar to the high-level shadow magic Si Ye Zhi Jue. Although its deterrent power and range were far from comparable to Si Ye Zhi Jue, it was not much different when used in the dark!
