Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Shenglong State, capital of the Great Xia Empire, military examination monitoring station.

"Report, tracking and locking onto multiple special energy sources detected in the examination replica,"

"I need detailed information on the examinees, their personal relationships in the real world, the organizations behind them, and the controlling nations behind those organizations!"

Every year, the college entrance examination is a time rife with incidents, and this year was exceptionally so, which is why the higher-ups paid extra attention and prepared well in advance.

The top brass contacted the Realm Master of the Sea of Realms and obtained a tracking device designed to infiltrate the rules of the replica, lock onto certain special energy sources, track and secure them, and even provide feedback on the real-world data of the subjects.

"Report, a special energy source detected, originating from White Crane City, the capital of Jiangnan Continent. The source is the examinee Li Jian, from the Experimental High School No. 3. Here is the information on Li Jian's personal network..."

"Report, a special energy source detected, originating from Shu King City, the capital of Shu River Province. The source is the examinee Gang Gu, from Shu King High School No.1,..."

...

In just a moment, one report after another appeared on the desk of the commander, Wang Buyi.

Wang Buyi opened a file casually, glanced at the information, and felt a blazing anger deep inside, but his majestic face remained unchanged.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the desk for a while before he picked up and glanced through a few more files.

"Filter out the reports with the greatest threat and send them to the military bases of the corresponding provinces. Arrest and investigate all suspected individuals; it is better to make a mistake in apprehension than to let one go!"

The tiger doesn't show its might, do they really think the Great Xia Empire is still in the era when it was oppressed by the allied nations decades ago?

"Hmph, the Great Xia Empire has always been dealing with the mess left by the 'Braided Dynasty,' just hasn't been free to act, did you really think we're afraid to confront you? As the Sea of Realms could suppress the allied nations, the reborn Great Xia Empire can do it, too!"

Wang Buyi had a grasp on the intelligence of the Great Xia Empire, and he understood its current situation like the back of his hand.

A few legions from the Protectorate Army joined forces and finally broke through the largest Fourth Order monster nest in Shenglong State three months ago and used ten Lord's Hearts to purify the monster nest.

Since then, Shenglong State would no longer suffer from attacks by waves of monsters led by a large number of Fourth Order BOSSes.

However, the military suffered considerable losses in this operation, with more than a dozen Fourth Order warriors falling.

It couldn't be helped. In this Fourth Order monster nest alone, there were more than a thousand Fourth Order Peak Lord BOSSes, not to mention the groups of Fourth Order Peak hero BOSSes who could form an army tens of thousands strong!

Thinking of these losses, Wang Buyi felt heartache, but he also harbored an even greater hatred for those pigskin refugees who did nothing!

"Hmph, even if you fled to the Sea of Realms, don't expect to have an easy time! Sooner or later, the day will come when the Great Realm Clearing will also perish, avenging the billions of commoners of Great Xia. Moreover, that day is not far off!"

----------

Regardless of the outside world's investigation, Zi Liyuan was certainly unaware, but he also encountered trouble himself.

Day and night made no difference to Skeletons, so he didn't stop at all and continued to delve deeper into the central city area.

As a result, he was ambushed by BOSSes.

A group of over a hundred rare BOSSes, under the leadership of ten hero BOSSes, launched a beatdown on Zi Liyuan.

These BOSSes of Level 35 and above, along with a large number of Level 30 elite and rare minions, surrounded Zi Liyuan in a forest.

A massive wave of monsters, pressing on relentlessly and charging heedlessly to their deaths, launched a deadly charge.

And these bosses were extremely sly, hiding among the hordes of monsters, targeting Zi Liyuan with a barrage of long-range attacks, putting him in a miserably frustrating situation with no way to deal with them.

The minions were simply too numerous. Even though he could keep summoning skeletons and fight a war of attrition with cannon fodder, he could not break through the encirclement and was forced to huddle in the small woods, passively taking hits.

Of course, the energy cost of summoning skeletons was so negligible it could almost be ignored, thanks to his priest set's effects, which restored a percentage of his spiritual energy.

With his attack aura activated throughout and a vast array of curse spells being cast, his spiritual energy levels remained close to full.

Luckily, Zi Liyuan took shelter behind the Shadow Demon Puppet, with Lao Tie in the front bearing the brunt of the damage, leaving him virtually unscathed.

Given the resistance of the Shadow Demon Puppet, one could say that, within this instance, there weren't many monsters that could breach its defenses. If it wasn't for its low health points, it could have been anyone's guess as to who the ultimate boss was.

"Damn it, this is the first time I've been cornered by monsters. Bosses in the combat trial instances have such high intelligence? They even know how to hide behind and launch surprise attacks? Why was the Demonized Lake Monster I killed so damn dumb?"

He had killed quite a few bosses before, even one Heroic Boss, but none had displayed such high intellect, all sneakily hiding behind others to ambush.

Looking at the battlefield strewn with broken skeleton debris, Zi Liyuan once again summoned a group of Shield Combat Skeletons to hold the front, then replenished the lost Crossbow Skeletons.

For a stationary battle with a defensive stance, it was best to have Shield Combat Skeletons in the front and Crossbow Skeletons dishing out damage from behind to maximize the Skeleton Army's advantage.

If he hadn't been targeted by over a hundred bosses, he would have even considered sending out Lao Tie to slap all these bosses to death.

As the battle stretched on for two hours, Zi Liyuan gradually realized something was amiss.

His Skeleton Army was conjured, so as long as there was enough spiritual energy, he could keep summoning without end, and with his current near 350+ Spirit strength, the strain on his psyche was trivial.

So, no matter how many skeleton cannon fodder fell, he could always summon more.

But what about these monsters?

They had already built a wall of corpses, yet they continued to rush to their deaths in an endless stream. Were there really that many monsters around here?

Having a thought, Zi Liyuan immediately activated his Eye of Death to survey the battlefield and unleashed the Eye of Shadow to send out ripples of darkness.

The next moment, a three-dimensional map of the entire battlefield appeared in his mind.

"Fuck!"

With an outburst of rage, Zi Liyuan's eyes fixed deadly on a wall to his left.

Behind that wall were hidden a total of twelve bosses, two of them Heroic Bosses and the other ten Rare Bosses. They had actually set up an immensely large summoning formation!

The wave of monsters laying siege to Zi Liyuan were all summoned by these twelve bosses!

"No wonder I've been killing for so long, my score increased by over twenty points. It's all because of you bastard's mischief!"

He had always used the Skeleton Sea to cycle deaths onto others; he never expected that in the combat trial instance, he would be the one cycled by monsters.

What is this called?

All day long one hunts the geese; in the end, it is the geese that peck out the eyes?

"Damn it, thinking that by summoning monsters out of my sight, you wouldn't be discovered? Watch me destroy you trash!"
