Mikey and Joneson happened upon a group of Journeyman undead rather quickly as they reached the edges of the Journeyman band within mere minutes given their current speed.
Since they did not have Darius here to unveil the full details of their enemies, they could only rely on the Supreme System's default Inspect mechanic.
[Wight Lord - Level 37 Undead
HP: 798/798 MP: 518/518]
[Wraith King - Level 38 Undead
HP: 320/320 MP: 900/900]
[Skeleton King - Level 39 Undead
HP: 660/660 MP: 120/120]
[Skeleton Archmage - Level 39 Undead
HP: 408/408 MP: 800/800]
There were a few more types of undead around, but Mikey and Joneson were not as habitually careful as Darius to check everything out before battle. Instead, the duo slit their wrists and let the blood drop freely on the earth.
With every reddish droplet that fell out, a new amorphous blob made of the same liquid would emerge and start to grow then morph on its own until it formed into a vaguely humanoid shape.
The current Blood Warriors only had 30% of Mikey and Joneson's power, but that was enough to put them at the top of the Amateur stage when compared to others.
The duo of vampires summoned 20 each and then commanded them to attack. For that matter, the other undead had only been watching them with a confused expression.
What were these two giga-bosses doing here?
Were they paying homage to the blessed blight for their life with their blood?
Should they - the lesser undead - kowtow in greeting or might it offend the bosses?
Before they could decide on a proper course of action, the Blood Warriors rushed at them with murderous intent.
If the undead here had possessed yellow nameplates (neutral) previously, the moment the Blood Warriors showed combative intent they would have turned into red nameplates (hostile).
The two sides clashed and engaged. It had to be said, the Blood Warriors had some good advantages. Firstly, they did not have organs or a truly fixed form, so slicing and blunt attacks did little damage to them.
Apart from that, they were able to morph their bodies into various weapons like blades, hammers, and shields to defend themselves or deal more damage. Their intelligence might have been low, but their combat awareness more than made up for it.
However, these only allowed the Blood Warriors to fight these Journeyman undead somewhat evenly at best. With such a disparity of stats, it was impossible for them to massacre the undead with ease while Mikey and Joneson stood back.
The duo of vampires simply raised their hands and chanted one word before a Hail of Ice Spears formed in the sky!
That's right, after evolving, Mikey and Joneson - as Supreme Undead - had gained the casting ability that would usually be reserved for Grandmaster mages, which was the ability: One-Word Cast!
It was impossible to achieve Darius' level of true instant casting, as that was a Supreme-tier benefit. The next best thing - that also formed the highest level the rest of the magical world could achieve - was One-Word Cast, where a mage could shorten his/her spell into a single word in order to cast it quickly, accompanied by a handsign.
The effect of this was the quick gathering of black clouds in the sky, two of them appearing from different directions as they almost joined together in the center.
After a split second in which the clouds settled, they began spewing out large spears of ice with sharp ends that fell towards the battlefield.
The Blood Warriors were not bothered by the friendly fire, as piercing weapons dealt the least damage to them. As for the other undead, they could not be so casual about this matter.
The Skeleton Archmages countered the hail by casting fireballs into the sky which blew up many of the spears, but not all of them. More came down before they could chant another cast, ripping the glass cannons to shreds.
The Wight Lords and Skeletons Kings used their blades to shatter the Ice Spears that rained on them. The Skeleton Kings used broadswords of epic size and since they were also quite large, they were able to smash many spears.
However, their weakness was their low Agility, so many spears broke through their defense and smashed into their bodies. Their mouths were open in a silent scream of agony as they felt their bones shatter and freeze thanks to the spell, their HP dropping rapidly.
The Wight Lords were smaller and emphasized Agility instead of Strength, as they also dual-wielded two Katanas. They were like wuxia protagonists as they used acrobatics and amazing movements to flip about while speedily cutting all spears down.
However, it was moot because their stamina wasn't infinite and they couldn't keep such flashy and wasteful moves up for long. Eventually, they lost this battle of attrition and were torn to shreds by the Ice Spears coming down.
The Wraith Kings had it the easiest. They did not enter their intangible state as the magical damage would be increased, and the Ice Spears did mostly physical damage.
Still, the Wraiths were more resistant to physical than magical damage overall. This was also how they dealt with the Blood Warriors, tanking their attacks while clawing them.
They had already tried to use their mental skills, but the Blood Warriors had no unique consciousness and so could not be harmed. This troubled the Wraith Kings to no end, and they lost a lot of HP through the spell.
At the end of it all, once the bombardment was over, only 4 Skeleton Kings on the brink of death, as well as most of the Wraith Kings who were greatly weakened, were left.
Mikey and Joneson cricked their necks and unsheathed the weapons Darius had granted them.
While Mikey wielded Darius' former steel spear, Joneson swung about the freshly made steel sword.
The duo did not have any abilities or traits that helped them master the use of such weapons, so they had to learn the hard way.
Luckily, with enough Agility, nothing was impossible.
