Chapter 317: Chapter 247 The “Rebirth” Skill Fails, The Epic Boss That Cannot Be Resurrected

A simple move, and the six battered imps were driven out of the dimensional space.

The next moment, three ice frost giants charged up, with six large claws, each grabbing an imp with precision, clasping them in their palms, and bringing them to a spot not far from Zi Liyuan.

Initially, I wanted to communicate with these six Lord Bosses to see if I could recruit them since eight kings of various races had already willingly submitted before.

Unfortunately, as good as the idea was, the reality was still very harsh.

The six imps, despite being severely wounded and weakened, and even held in the clutches of the frost giants with death looming at any moment,

they still bared their teeth and sneered at Zi Liyuan when they saw him, even trying to gather fel magic to launch an attack on him.

These six imps, even as Lord Bosses, still could not communicate and had extremely low intelligence, displaying enmity towards all living beings.

“They retained their battle instincts and the attributes and spell systems from before their death.

After being transformed into Undead creatures, they gained death attributes and spell systems.

But their intelligence was stripped away, leaving only very low IQ, and the hatred for living beings.”

Seeing there was no way to communicate with these six Lord Boss imps, Zi Liyuan didn’t kill them outright, instead, he had the ice frost giants encase them in ice, deciding to deal with them after capturing the mutated epic imp.

The battle on the other side was also coming to a conclusion.

The three golden behemoths were virtually rubbing the mutated imp into the ground.

Of course, as an epic boss just like the mutated imp, it wasn’t going to lie down and let itself be rubbed raw without a fight.

But all resistance was futile.

All sorts of magic, mostly control spells, proved pitifully ineffective since the golden behemoths’ magic resistance was off the charts, and they had an extraordinary ability to resist many control magics.

Moreover, with three golden behemoths at the ready, how could the mutated imp possibly control them?

In the midst of relentless screams, the mutated imp was beaten half to death and, upon entering a weakened state due to heavy injuries, was grabbed by one of the golden behemoths and brought before Zi Liyuan.

Of course, for safety’s sake, the Ridgeback Tortoise immediately stood in front of him, effectively playing the role of a meat shield.

“What’s your name?”

“Gah… die…”

A strange cry came from the mouth of the mutated imp, followed by a spear infused with fel energy and death aura almost instantly forming, and shooting in his direction.

“Roar!”

The immense claw of the golden behemoth suddenly clenched, eliciting a scream from the mutated imp and a “crack” of breaking bones.

The instantly cast spear, with the force of a thunderbolt, pierced into the back of the Ridgeback Tortoise.

The vast death aura and fel energy clung to its shell, beginning to erode the tortoise’s shell bit by bit.

But after the Ridgeback Tortoise trembled, a circle of earthy yellow energy shone from its back, dispersing the fel energy and death aura in an instant.

“I knew capturing an Epic Boss wouldn’t be easy, surely a dead boss is the best boss.”

Lao Tie stepped forward, his eight barbed limbs piercing the mutated imp’s limbs, pinning it in place.

Then, iron spikes sprung from his two fists, thrusting into the imp’s collarbone area and into its body.

The golden behemoth looked at Lao Tie, bewildered, feeling the weapon that had punctured its skin and burrowed into its flesh on its claws, immediately glowering at the hellish automaton.

Had Lao Tie not been a friendly unit, and one of the master’s most trusted lieutenants, it would have crushed him into a ball of scrap metal!

To Lao Tie, hurting an ally was of little concern as the Epic Bosses were all thick-skinned and robust; it was merely a bit of cut flesh.

“Can we communicate properly?”

Observing Lao Tie’s actions, Lord Zi spoke again.

“Living beings… die!”

Another surge of fel energy and death aura gathered, but before it could form, Lao Tie’s iron fist, along with the spike, hammered into the imp’s stomach.

Amid a “sizzling” sound, the spike tore through flesh, punching a hole into the mutated imp.

Zi Liyuan frowned, sensing the spirit of the adversary and found it to be in utter chaos.

“Completely devoid of reason, knowing only slaughter, with extreme enmity towards all living beings.”

Feeling the various negative emotions from the mutated imp, along with the continuous gathering of fel energy and death aura, it seemed to be preparing some kind of move.

Zi Liyuan promptly abandoned further attempts at communication and straightaway ordered the golden behemoths and Lao Tie to deal a death blow.

If it couldn’t be recruited, then death would solve the problem, and he would glean some treasures, right?

With Lord Zi’s command, the golden behemoths and Lao Tie naturally showed no mercy.

Just as Lao Tie was about to unleash a skill to deal massive damage to the mutated imp, the golden behemoth holding the creature swept Lao Tie aside with a flick of its other beastly claw.

Then, the claw holding the mutated imp tightened forcefully, immediately accompanied by the “crack” of bones snapping like popcorn echoing continuously.

The already heavily injured and weakened mutated imp couldn’t withstand the enormous crushing power of the golden behemoth.

In the blink of an eye, it became a muddled blob of flesh and blood, barely retaining its original shape.

“Such brutality, it would’ve been enough just to strangle it to death. Don’t mangle the body too badly, otherwise how am I going to use the ‘Resurrection’ skill later?”
