"Something’s wrong, retreat, retreat by water!" someone shouted.
They ran directly towards the Forbidden Sea behind them.
There was no choice; the four guild leaders were surrounding them inland. If the Shikigami were there, they could work together to break through.
Now, they could only return by water and escape temporarily.
Huh?
They’re not fighting anymore?
That was too easy to give up!
But you can’t blame them, as the four guild leaders of Longxia were around, and now there was such a strange Undead Mage who could control their Shikigami!
Their hearts, already tense and fearful, were now shattered.
Frightened, they turned to run!
Lu Ran was just about to use Undead Touch to hold them back.
Suddenly, a Carp Spirit in a red short skirt—looking like a human girl—waved her small hand.
A giant wave surged at the seaside, crashing down on the group of Yin Yang Masters, blocking their retreat!
"Boss, it’s your Carp Spirit, what are you doing!" someone noticed this scene and shouted in horror.
The owner of the Carp Spirit was naturally the leader of this group.
He was a small man with a Fu Manchu mustache.
He turned back to see the Carp Spirit he could usually control at will, now acting crazily, raising huge waves to block their retreat.
At the same time, strange water bubbles began appearing in front of the Carp Spirit, slowly drifting towards them.
The man with the Fu Manchu mustache tried to control it again, but the control command was once again to no avail.
The most crucial thing was.
Their skills came from their Shikigami, and the combination attacks with them; once the Shikigami couldn’t be controlled, most of their skills were gone!
All that was left were some of the simplest beginner attack methods!
"It’s not me! I can’t control the Carp Spirit anymore, everyone save yourselves, scatter!" shouted the man with the Fu Manchu, urgently.
But it was already too late.
A group of Shikigami had pounced on them, fearless and chaotic, recklessly throwing all kinds of skills, completely attacking without holding back!
After all, once Lu Ran controlled them, the order given was to kill this group of Yin Yang Masters.
They executed the command to the fullest extent, simply and bluntly!
The seaside was a scene of uproar, with more than a dozen Shikigami attacking with full force!
Lu Ran watched with amazement.
Through the team communication device, asked, "Xinxin sis, why aren’t these Yin Yang Masters fighting back? Do they care about their Shikigami? But these Shikigami are about to kill them."
Liu Xinxin responded, "These kids don’t understand emotions; the reason they aren’t fighting back is because they’ve lost their skills. Many of the Yin Yang Masters’ skills require controlling their Shikigami, and some are combination skills with them. Now that their Shikigami are controlled, more than half of their skills are ineffective. Only a few simple attack skills remain."
This means they can’t fight back even if they wanted to!
"I didn’t expect, Lu Ran actually could control the Shikigami, truly... extraordinary!" Ye Hongyi muttered.
"These kids are going to be in trouble, under the whole nation, Lu Ran can control at least ninety percent of the Shikigami, right? Once considered a signature strong profession, the Yin Yang Masters made these kids proud, but from now on, these kids are going to be insignificant in front of Lu Ran." Lei Tai laughed heartily and said.
"That’s enough, to avoid attracting attention, Lu Ran, clear the field." Yu Qingcang smiled widely, happy but still mindful of protecting Lu Ran’s secret.
Lu Ran now, though almost invincible.
But truly exposing himself was not yet the time.
Upon hearing this.
Lu Ran nodded.
The Skeleton Soldiers collectively rushed forward to unleash indiscriminate Corpse Explosion on the dozen Yin Yang Masters!
At the same time, Skeleton Storm was also released.
This was entirely to test the effect of the Sea-stabilizing Trident.
Anyway, the opposite side was the Forbidden Sea, even if the Sea-stabilizing Trident didn’t work, spreading Skeleton Storm in the direction of the Forbidden Sea was no problem.
The fact proved, the Sea-stabilizing Trident was indeed tailor-made for Lu Ran.
It didn’t require complex operations either, just a thought, and the released Skeleton Storm could precisely cover the dozen people in a small area.
Seeing this, Lu Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Corpse Explosion combined with the small-range Skeleton Storm constantly stacked, taking down all the dozen Yin Yang Masters.
But now there’s a problem.
Although the dozen Yin Yang Masters were dead, their Shikigami remained in place and did not disappear!
In the previous melee, four Shikigami were killed, leaving twelve!
At this moment, they were obediently standing in front of Lu Ran, looking at him, waiting for his command.
Lu Ran was a bit stunned, opened the skill panel, and found that this control could not be released?
Furthermore...
"Why haven’t these Shikigami died?" Ye Hongyi came up and asked in surprise.
"I’ve fought Yin Yang Masters before, after they die, their Shikigami should disappear, right?" Lei Tai also asked in confusion.
"The problem is, when the Yin Yang Masters died, their Shikigami were no longer theirs. It seems that Lu Ran’s control skills didn’t merely temporarily control them, but directly plundered ownership, complete control!" Liu Xinxin analyzed and said.
Lu Ran listened in a daze.
He thought of something and said, "What about the previous Land? That... that Necromancer who was the first to be killed in the Deathmatch Arena, after he died, the summoned items I controlled disappeared."
Liu Xinxin then asked, "Did they disappear immediately after he died, or when the Deathmatch Arena settled, and the data was wiped clean during room clearance?"
With Liu Xinxin saying this.
Lu Ran suddenly realized.
Said, "I remember! When Land died, those undead summoned that killed him didn’t disappear immediately. Were they cleared when the room was swept?"
But Liu Xinxin shook her head.
Explained: "Not necessarily, the summoned items of a Necromancer, unlike Summoners, who can summon and dismiss items. But the items summoned by a Necromancer have their own durations based on their types, so even if you seized ownership, they would still disappear when their time was up."
Then, Liu Xinxin looked at the Shikigami in front of her.
Continued: "But these Shikigami are different; they are permanent products bound to Yin Yang Masters. Normally when not in use, they are stored in the Shikigami space, similar to the effect of a Treasure Gourd."
Lu Ran did understand this.
But now the problem was, what to do with these Shikigami?
"If you like them, you can keep them to play with; if not, just kill them," Yu Qingcang advised.
Lu Ran lifted his eyes and scanned around.
Damn, each one of these is really ugly!
But when Lu Ran’s gaze finally fixed on the Carp Spirit, he couldn’t help but brighten up.
The Carp Spirit in the form of a young girl, although with a fish tail, her upper body was just like that of a delicate human girl.
With large glistening eyes, black hair, and black pupils, her long straight black hair draped behind her, falling over her buttocks.
This one can be kept!
"This Carp Spirit... is of quite good quality; it can be kept, but won’t the fish tail attract too much attention?" Lu Ran turned to ask.
