Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start-Chapter 116 - 113 Same Ability? (1/5)_1
Chen Mo glanced at the three people on the leaderboard, curious but not overly concerned. His main focus was still on finding the hidden mission. After all, he had yet to complete his Five Elements Spirit Orb. He was only missing the last Thunder Spirit Pearl. If there were still tradable targets in the dungeon, Chen Mo would have issued another announcement.
On his quest to find the mission, the twelfth day was fast approaching its end. Chen Mo glanced again at the leaderboard. At this point, everyone who was still in the dungeon had completed double the required kills. Looks like they can hold on for another two days.
Because the number of people left was small, Chen Mo’s search for the hidden mission led him back to the area opened that day. As the area that opened that day contained noticeably more hidden missions and Special BOSS than the areas opened later. However, before when there were many people, it was highly competitive. When you got there, others had already completed the task, so your search would be pointless. Now there were only forty people left, but in reality, they were from three different groups. Even if they split up, they wouldn’t spread out much.
Just as Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue were searching for the hidden mission and Special BOSS in the twelfth-tier area, Chen Mo’s perception ability sensed three people approaching. But only one person was visible; the other two were in invisible mode. These three people were the mysterious group of three among the forty people left in the dungeon.
"You two were quite hard to find," the man in black, with his head shaved, looked at Chen Mo and sneered.
Seeing the man’s hostile demeanor, Chen Mo calmly stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Yan Yingyue, and said with a smile, "Oh? I wonder why this student is looking for me."
"Nothing much, you’re just in my way."
Chen Mo glanced at the man’s chest badge. Number 17; his name on the list was Xu Tao.
"In the way? Then what do you intend to do?"
At this point, Chen Mo sensed that the other two stealth-type professions had quietly hidden themselves behind a large tree, still in invisible mode. And yet, they were dozens of meters away from them. This left me somewhat confused. Logically, if three stealth-type professions were looking for trouble, they should all approach in invisible mode and then look for a chance to assassinate. Why would one of them approach so openly and confidently? And why would the other two hide so far away, as if they were just here to watch a show? This really made it difficult for Chen Mo to understand what these three were planning.
Seeing the strange actions of the other party, Chen Mo naturally did not attack right away. He wanted to see what they would do next.
"What do I want? Naturally, I hope you two will step aside." As he spoke, the man openly pulled out his dagger.
Clearly, at this range, trying to use Teleportation to escape was impossible. He could instantly pull me and Yan Yingyue into combat. However, I was very surprised that he dared to approach so openly and declare his intention to kill us both. Although Yan Yingyue and I appeared to be just a Skeleton Mage and a Priest professional on the surface, our performance over these many days should have made it clear that we weren’t to be trifled with. Is this guy stupid, or does he have some extraordinary ability that makes him dare to provoke us so openly?
While Chen Mo was pondering, the opponent turned out to be a man of action, not words. With a tap of his foot, the man was like a streak of black light, and in a moment he was wielding his dagger right in front of Chen Mo.
"Die!"
"CLANG!"
As Xu Tao shouted, his dagger attacked Chen Mo. But it was blocked by Chen Mo’s Magic Wand. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
A fight between professionals isn’t like a fight against monsters. Without using Skills, normal combat actually relies on one’s own attribute strength and combat Experience. Chen Mo was once the top physical combatant in his class before his awakening. Even though he awakened as a Skeleton Mage, his close-combat abilities were not bad. Even if faced with the quick and close approach of a stealth-type profession, he still had the ability to fend them off. However, due to the differences in professional advantages, once embroiled in a melee, a prolonged defense would inevitably lead to defeat.
"Since you are courting death..." Before Chen Mo finished speaking, several Skeleton Monsters instantly appeared and surrounded Xu Tao.
Chen Mo had expected to see fear in the man’s eyes, but there was none. The man neither defended nor dodged, allowing the Skeleton Monsters to attack him, and stubbornly tried to slash at Chen Mo’s neck.
At this moment, Chen Mo clearly knew something was wrong. He had already quietly dispatched a large number of Skeleton Monsters to the vicinity of the two stealth-type professions who were hiding in invisible mode behind the tree dozens of meters away, watching the fight. The appearance of these three had been strange from the very beginning. Even though only one of them was confronting him directly, Chen Mo didn’t intend to let the other two get away.
As Xu Tao attacked with daggers in both hands, one parried Chen Mo’s Magic Wand, while the other accurately struck Chen Mo’s neck. And at the same time, a pile of weapons from the Skeleton Monsters fell upon his body.
At that moment, when Chen Mo and Xu Tao were attacked, neither of them lost a single drop of Health. The attacks landing on them also had no effect.
"How is that possible!?" When his slash struck Chen Mo but failed to cause any damage or poison him, Xu Tao, who had been calm until then, finally showed a hint of surprise.
I was also very surprised at this moment; why was this Xu Tao immune to damage? Could it be some ability that grants immunity to Physical Damage? Chen Mo immediately fired an Energy Bullet at him from close range. But even when his Energy Bullet exploded on Xu Tao’s body, it still caused no damage. How is that possible? Immune to both Physical Damage and Spells? I felt that things were getting somewhat absurd.
If Chen Mo found it absurd, the other party found it even more so. While Chen Mo was launching his Energy Bomb Attack, Xu Tao had already used several attack Skills, furiously stabbing and slashing at Chen Mo with his twin daggers. But no matter how effective his attacks seemed, they didn’t cause any damage to Chen Mo in the end. He was greatly shocked!
"How is that possible? Aren’t you a Skeleton Mage? Why do you possess the same ability as me?" Once Xu Tao finished his sentence, he immediately turned his gaze to Yan Yingyue, who was standing behind Chen Mo. "It’s you!?"
At this moment, I started to understand something from Xu Tao’s fragmented words. This guy seemed to have the same ability as me. But just as Chen Mo was wondering what exactly the opponent’s ability was, he noticed Xu Tao suddenly abandon his attack on him and, with a quick movement, turn to attack Yan Yingyue!
