Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 290 Blood Vine Corpse Witch

When Basu's bone claws were about to crush Wuermu's throat bone, the entire scarlet spire suddenly sounded an alarm. The bronze wall engraved with runes on the east side of the laboratory seemed to be gnawed by an invisible beast, and the metal melted into golden red droplets and fell, revealing the figure behind it.

"Red thieves from Cyre," Nemesis walked over the molten copper, his human-like silver hair glowing with rainbow light, "I haven't seen you for ten years, and you're still as wretched as rats in the gutter."

When he raised his hand, seven beams of light of different colors burst out from his fingertips - red flame, indigo frost, emerald green acid, bright yellow lightning, pitch black eclipse, pale sound waves, and the last one was a pure torrent of light. This was the pinnacle spell of the Seven-ring Shaping System [Rainbow Jet]. The seven kinds of destructive energy were woven into chains under precise control, entwined and pounced on Basu.

"Rainbow Light. Shaping? Why is it so powerful?" The red-robed wizard's pupils shrank into pinpoints. He immediately triggered the six-ring spell [Dimensional Interchange] in his magic ring, swapping his position with the flesh golem thirty meters away. The golem instantly vaporized in the colorful chains, and the three enchanted obsidian walls behind it melted into a glazed swamp.

Nemesis walked through the boiling glass pool, the molten lava at his feet was magically solidified into a poem: "Knowledge is fire, fools are moths."

"Stop pretending!" Basu roared and tore open the dark gold scroll. The black and purple vortex of the Nine-ring Necromancer Forbidden Technique [Energy Absorption Technique] exploded between the two of them. All the light sources in the laboratory suddenly went out, leaving only countless pale arms reaching out from the vortex to grab the silver-haired scholar - each finger was engraved with the annihilation rune, which was a death tentacles that could even drain the life of a dragon.

However, the moment the tentacles touched Nemesis, a chain mail composed of millions of tiny runes emerged from under his robe. Those runes, which were thinner than a hair, glowed silver-blue in the black mist.

Eighth-ring defensive spell——[Defensive Spell]!
The effect of this spell is very simple and crude, which is to increase a large amount of magic resistance for the recipient in a short period of time.

At this time, with the blessing of the power gem, the magic resistance provided by this spell has reached an exaggerated level.

"Well, the effect is still a little lacking. It makes me want to yawn." The scholar pushed his crystal monocle. "By the way, the energy absorption spell you used seems to be a defective version from ancient times, missing the key energy return node of the modern spell model."

Basu was stunned. He couldn't believe that one of his trump cards had failed so easily. That was the Nine-Ring Spell [Energy Absorption Spell]! Even an ancient golden dragon could be absorbed at least a quarter of its power by this spell!

What is the origin of this unknown creature with humanoid appearance? Is its magic resistance stronger than that of the ancient golden dragon? !

At this moment, Basu completely understood that this seemingly gentle scholar was probably actually a monster in human skin. He didn't believe that there was a human in this world who could resist the power of [Energy Absorption] with his flesh!

Basu's left arm dried up into a mummy-like state in an instant. The red-robed wizard screamed and tore off his arm, which fell to the ground and turned into ashes. "Do you think this is all I'm prepared for?" He twisted his bloody mouth into a sinister smile, "Wake up, my undead army!"

The floor of the laboratory collapsed, revealing a hundred-meter-deep corpse cellar below. Thirty flesh golems climbed up the rock wall, each one stitched together from dozens of corpses, with bone spurs and iron hooks sticking out of the joints; and at the front of the corpse group was a knight wearing heavy armor of rotten green. The corrupted obelisk on his chest resonated with Basu's broken arm, spewing dark green poisonous mist.

"My servant, it's time for you to show your abilities." Nemesis flicked his fingers and a shadow portal appeared in the space behind him.

The coldness of the Eternal Winter Sword arrived before the sound. Before the sword reached the laboratory, all the blood in the laboratory had frozen into a red crystal-like ice surface. Vampire Marquis Alvas walked out on the ice flowers, revealing half of his handsome face covered in frost under his silver-gray hair, and the other half of his face was wearing a mithril Ouroboros mask.

The moment Alvas saw the knight, his eyelids jumped. "Corrupted Armor Knight. This is an undead creature that is not weaker than me." The monster was born from the corpse of a dead person who practiced both magic and martial arts, and was fused with undead toxins. Each Corrupted Armor Knight is an undoubted pseudo-legendary level undead creature.

Plus there are so many flesh golems.
Nemesis smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will find you another helper."

He cast the spell again, and another [Advanced Summoning of the Undead] summoned a portal.

This time, a pale woman stepped out. She twisted her waist and crawled out from the ground. Countless vines were wriggling and blooming between her exposed spine. Her face did not have the facial features of a normal person, but instead was replaced by a beautiful blooming flower.

Alvas's eyelids jumped again when he saw this woman. Damn, is this a [Blood Vine Corpse Witch]? They are dead druids who were corrupted by blood-sucking vines and awakened again.

Another high-level undead creature that is rare even in the Shadowless Underworld.
How terrible is this dragon's necromancy? He can easily summon pseudo-legendary undead creatures and force them into slavery.
Alvas glanced at the silent Blood Vine Corpse Wizard and knew that the other party was probably just like himself back then, shocked by the summoning contract that tightly bound his soul.

"I haven't tasted the soul of an arcane knight in a hundred years." He turned his attention to the Knight of Corrupted Armor and kissed the human-faced sapphire on the hilt. The Sword of Everwinter immediately emitted a blue frost. "The rotten armor toy belongs to me, and as for the pieces of meat, you can deal with them."

The Blood Vine Witch was silent for a while, and no one knew what she was thinking. She nodded as if nothing had happened.

Now that I'm here and I can't resist, I might as well find some fun for myself.

The woman looked at the monsters, and the red rose on her face trembled, seeming to be a little excited.

"Leave it to me~" A sweet laugh came from the flowers. "Come on, little cuties, add some fertilizer to my sister's vines~"

The roars of thirty flesh golems shook off the remains of the ceiling. Silas, however, hummed a song and began a ritual dance, with vines sprouting from her spine, each tip of which had a scarlet mouthpart like a carnivorous plant.

"It's time to eat~" She flicked her fingers and shot out three seeds, which grew into giant Venus flytraps as soon as they landed. The golem was caught by the leaves first, and the vines immediately drilled into its body. With a teeth-grinding sucking sound, the golem shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the vines swelled into a giant python with dense blood vessels.

"Don't waste it~" The corpse wizard licked his lips and commanded the vine python to sweep across, and the five golems were cut in half. But Basu's corpse control technique was better, and the broken pieces of meat automatically reorganized into centipede-like monsters, and the mouthparts sprayed acid.

"This is boring." The corpse witch Silas stomped her feet and summoned the underground vine net. The acid was diverted by the leaves to the corner of the laboratory, melting a large hole in the bronze door. She took the opportunity to throw the vines to entangle the ceiling chandelier, swinging over the golems to sprinkle spore powder. In the pink smoke, the golems' sutures began to sprout, and the corpses devoured themselves uncontrollably.

"Blood and flesh are weak~" She laughed tenderly and threw out her final killing move - the vines pierced her chest, soaked up the rotten blood from her heart and transformed into a bone spike mace. Every time she smashed a golem, new vines burst out from the wreckage, eventually weaving the corpses into a bloody cocoon.
