Next, Huang Yi charged forward, starting the lengthy process of research.
"Wretched crawler, how dare you defile my territory, die! Summon rain of fire!" the Undead Mage, upon seeing Huang Yi approaching, sneered and swung his magic wand towards him.
Instantly, the dark labyrinth flared up in red, and dozens of fireballs suddenly appeared in the sky, falling densely towards Huang Yi, covering a large area like a downpour of flames.
Huang Yi immediately sprinted to the side with all his might, finally escaping the skill’s range before the fireballs hit the ground. However, the Hunting Dog wasn’t as lucky, completely engulfed by the relentless rain of fire, burnt to nothing but ashes.
Huang Yi didn’t care and continued his rush towards the Undead Mage, closing the distance rapidly!
"Fire-Resistant Ring!" The next moment, a yellow shockwave burst forth from the body of the Undead Mage, pushing Huang Yi away with an irresistible force.
The hard-won advantage of close combat he had just gained was abruptly lost due to this skill.
"I didn’t expect you to have some tricks up your sleeve, now taste the sea of fire!" the Undead Mage said, lifting his wand into the air, and passionately exclaimed, "Furious fire elements, heed my summons and burn this..."
Just then, his wrist was suddenly gripped harshly, and the chant for this skill was interrupted!
Immediately after, a translucent falcon faintly appeared in the air!
It was Huang Yi controlling the falcon that had disrupted the Undead Mage’s chanting. This falcon was like a hitman for mages, completely transparent and highly stealthy, making it difficult to detect and very likely to interrupt spell casting.
At this moment, Huang Yi had seized the opportunity to charge again, closing in on the Undead Mage once more!
"Damn it!" The Undead Mage cursed and gave his wand a slight twirl, then his figure suddenly disappeared!
Invisibility! The Undead Mage had pulled out yet another skill and a mage who could turn invisible was unheard of, even the mages on the 13th floor didn’t possess this skill!
"Tracking Scent!" The next moment, Huang Yi rubbed his nose, activating the Racial Skill of the Half-Beastmen.
Instantly, a distinct stench of decay entered his nostrils. It was like a thread coming from the air to his left!
Using his sense of smell, Huang Yi detected the Undead Mage’s location. Although he was invisible, his scent could not hide! Huang Yi swung his Bone Blade towards the direction from which the smell emanated with force!
"Pff!" The next moment, the sound of the blade piercing flesh was heard, and the Undead Mage’s presence suddenly appeared in the air as he was struck by Huang Yi, forced out of stealth mode!
At that time, the mage’s face showed shock, apparently not understanding how he had been seen through by Huang Yi.
Huang Yi seized the opportunity and rushed forward, hacking viciously at the mage with his Bone Blade, chopping off pieces of rotten flesh, causing massive damage.
The Undead Mage was vulnerable, with decent Magic Resistance but no match for Physical Attacks. Once Huang Yi, the brutal physical class, got close, the mage would suffer tremendous damage.
In panic, the Undead Mage lifted his wand, making a forward-pushing gesture.
That was unmistakably the spell-casting motion for the "Fire-Resistant Ring," which Huang Yi had seen countless times before.
"Disarm!" Huang Yi acted first, grabbing the mage’s wand. He then employed the level 25 skill he had just learned today, "Disarm"—temporarily seizing the opponent’s weapon, preventing them from using it for the next 10 seconds!
Instantly, Huang Yi forcibly snatched away the mage’s wand!
The Undead mage, now disarmed, was like a toothless tiger, utterly incapable of mounting any effective counterattack; for ten seconds he was relentlessly assaulted by Huang Yi!
In those ten seconds, the Undead mage’s health dropped to 70%!
The Undead mage was just that fragile; once a physical class got close, it was the beginning of a nightmare.
After ten seconds, the magic wand Huang Yi had confiscated automatically flew back into the hands of the Undead mage!
"Undead Clone!" Having retrieved his magic wand, the Undead mage quickly swung it, releasing a new skill and instantly splitting into 10 Undead mages, all attacking Huang Yi at once, making it impossible to tell which were real and which were fake.
"Judgment!" Huang Yi countered as he began to spin rapidly, his great sword whipping up a whirlwind that inflicted huge damage on all 10 of the Undead mage’s clones.
"Fireball Technique!" The ten Undead mages immediately cast the most basic Fireball Technique, hitting Huang Yi.
In the next moment, Huang Yi fell to the ground, instakilled without a doubt!
Huang Yi resurrected at the dungeon’s entrance, feeling slightly surprised; all 10 of those Fireball Techniques were real, meaning that all 10 of those mage clones had the same strength as the original. Each clone’s Fireball Technique was as powerful as the original’s, and with 10 Fireballs hitting him all at once, he simply couldn’t withstand it.
Next, Huang Yi continued to try different approaches, but he changed his tactics; when faced with Cloning Technique, he no longer used Judgment but chose to retreat instead, skirting around outside the battlefield, dodging the attacks of the 10 Undead mages, trying to outlast the duration of the Undead mage’s Cloning Technique.
However, the Undead mage’s Cloning Technique seemed to have no end, maintaining the state of 10 mages, as if there were actually 10 Undead mages continuously attacking Huang Yi.
Even though Huang Yi did everything he could to dodge, he was ultimately unable to escape the attacks of the 10 Undead mages and was eventually killed!
Then, Huang Yi tried a new approach once more...
This is how it went, with Huang Yi dying over and over again, researching tactics and the most suitable timing to use each skill...
Time slipped by minute by minute, and the 24-hour refresh deadline drew ever closer, Huang Yi’s rhythm in attacking the Undead mage becoming more and more proficient! The more he fought, the smoother it became, constantly changing the timing of his skill releases, and his tactics had undergone a complete transformation from when he first started!
An hour passed, and Huang Yi finally cracked the Undead mage’s Cloning Technique!
Five hours passed, and Huang Yi could now reduce the Undead mage’s health below 50%!
The long night was over, and a new day dawned, with Huang Yi tirelessly battling all night!
At this point, only the last 30 minutes remained before the refresh deadline!
Huang Yi’s progress was also highly evident; he could now bring the Undead mage’s health down to below 10%!
But at 10%, the Undead mage would put up a shield with extremely high defense, and Huang Yi’s attacks could hardly deal any damage!
