Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Battle the werewolf leader
Although these werewolves possess self-healing abilities, their stamina is limited, unlike the undead who have infinite stamina.

As Alex continued to summon more undead from the rear, the number of werewolves dwindled, and the bodies of the fallen werewolves turned into enemies of their own kind.

The werewolf leader, engaged in fierce combat with the undead, finally realized that the girl hiding at the back was the cause of his people’s gruesome transformation.

Realizing the truth, the werewolf leader unleashed a formidable burst of combat power, nimbly maneuvering through the undead army. When faced with unavoidable undead, a swipe of his wolf claw would scatter them.

With level 9 double attributes, the werewolf leader could dominate all the undead on the battlefield. However, the undead would not die; they would only continue to relentlessly attack him.

The werewolf leader identified a key figure, likely the lord of these undead creatures. He knew that by slaying this figure, the undead might instantly lose their combat effectiveness.

Capture the leader to defeat the enemy!

With swift movements, the werewolf leader easily broke through the undead blockade and charged directly towards Alex, who was hiding in the back.

“Oh no, I’ve been spotted!” Alex panicked as she saw the werewolf leader sprinting towards her, instinctively trying to cast a dark magic attack.

Boom! A massive figure dropped from the sky, blocking the werewolf leader’s path to Alex.

“Good timing, Arthur!” Alex sighed in relief upon seeing Arthur protect her, and she began to taunt the enemy.

“Arthur, crush your enemies and show them your strength!”

Arthur swiped at the werewolf leader, who hadn’t expected an enormous creature to suddenly fall from the sky. Facing Arthur’s attack, the werewolf leader could only raise his wolf claw in defense.

Contrary to expectations, the werewolf leader wasn’t sent flying by Arthur’s strike; he merely stepped back, using his exaggerated strength attribute to block the attack.

Arthur roared and then exhaled a stream of blue dragon breath. At such close range, the werewolf leader couldn’t dodge and had to endure it.

The dragon breath completely enveloped him, burning both his soul and flesh, and layers of ice crystals formed around him, attempting to freeze him solid. Despite the intense attack, the werewolf leader struggled against Arthur’s dragon breath with his high attribute values.

Suddenly, a black fireball struck him from the side.

[Mana Points: 50/60]

It was Alex’s magical attack!

The werewolf leader realized too late to dodge and was hit on the right arm. The black flames, like Arthur’s Nether Dragon Breath, inflicted dual damage to both body and soul.

The black flames continued to burn on the werewolf leader’s body, and unlike Arthur’s dragon breath, his self-healing skills were ineffective against Alex’s Black Flame Blast.

At this point, the flesh on the werewolf leader’s right arm had completely disintegrated, revealing the bone underneath. Facing the dual soul attacks from Arthur and Alex, the werewolf leader couldn’t hold on any longer and was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture by Arthur’s dragon breath.

Strangely, the black flames on his body continued to burn even though he had turned into an ice sculpture. If the werewolf leader could speak, Alex guessed he would curse her for hiding and ambushing him, challenging her to a fair fight.

[You have successfully killed a level 9 Howling Moon Werewolf, earning 240 experience points (double experience).]

“Huh, I killed him?” It seemed that the real cause of the werewolf’s death was Alex’s Black Flame Blast, which had extinguished his soul.

The werewolf’s body lay on the ground, and Alex, having broken through an experience bottleneck, leveled up once again.

This was the first time Alex had used Black Flame Blast on a living creature, and she hadn’t expected it to be so powerful, burning continuously on the body, even through freezing.

After the battle, Alex’s clothes were dirty and disheveled. She dusted off the dirt from her buttocks.

“Holy fuck, my meat!”

Alex realized that her dark magic left no corpse behind and quickly stopped the black flames from continuing to burn the werewolf leader’s body.

Compared to the meat, Alex was more pleased to have gained a level 9 bone beast werewolf, a peak combat force under her command, which was very nice.

With the death of the werewolf leader, the morale of the other werewolves plummeted, especially with Arthur’s addition. The balance of victory on the battlefield began to tilt towards Alex.

“Arthur, you’re strong!” Without him, Alex’s other undead might not have been able to wear down this level 9 werewolf.

Alex used her left eye’s magic to transform the werewolf into a bone beast. Currently, only Alex had the ability to transform bone beasts; the scythe did not have this function yet.

A level 9 bone beast werewolf seemed stronger than a level 9 Skeleton Warrior, right?

[Bone beast werewolf]

[Race: undead race.]

[Life Tier: Standard (non-upgradable).]

[Health Points: Undead trait, immortal as long as the soul fire burns]

Alex felt somewhat disappointed that the werewolves’ double attribute enhancement at night was lost after becoming undead creatures.

“Well, it’s still very strong, only slightly weaker than Arthur.”

The bodies of these werewolves would be handled by the undead, and Alex returned to the castle to change her dirty clothes.

The werewolf leader was killed outside the castle, so she only received the double experience bonus for nighttime, without the 1.5 times bonus from the Bone Throne.

Alex started calculating with her fingers.

“Ah, I lost 120 experience points!”

“Wait, that’s the total loss, not counting the other werewolves!”

Alex glanced back at the battlefield where seven or eight werewolves were still desperately holding on. She hurried back to the castle to try to salvage some of the lost experience points.

Upon entering the castle, Alex went straight to the bathroom, kicking off her shoes and yanking off her hair tie, letting her white hair flow freely.

“First, a bath, and I’ll even earn triple experience points while at it—this is just too awesome…”
