That's right, there is more than one ghost mage like this!
Like the previous Titan Weapons, when they appeared, they came as a group.
They didn't intend to give Zach any time to adapt at all.
In other words, the people behind the scenes had learned from their earlier mistake of trying to slowly torture Zach to death. This time, they didn't want to give him another chance to make a comeback. As long as there was a chance, they would kill him on the spot!
Zach guessed, "He must be regretting it now, when he had the chance, and didn't kill me, right?"
He laughed, why wouldn't he? What a joke.
Zach had learned a lesson from it, too. When facing a strong enemy, whenever there is an opportunity, kill them if you can. If you can kill them in one second, don't wait for two!
He swiftly eliminated all the guardian knights. If they remained here, they would only hinder Zach's performance, burning to ashes alongside the rest.
Anyway, they were his own, destined to go through this process.
A formation appeared beneath his feet, large segments sinking into it, waiting for the next call to sacrifice their lives for the king!
This was the only content deeply embedded in the soul of the guardian knight.
With the towering figure of the guardian knight no longer blocking his view, the hundreds of ghost mages were now fully visible in Zach's line of sight.
Each one moved as if controlled by a computer program, raising their flaming hands—unprotected by armor—summoning fireballs the size of walnuts, quickly entangling and growing larger.
After several layers of circulation, the fireballs finally grew to the size of basketballs!
Boom! ! !
Boom! ! !
Boom! ! !
Immediately after, the fireballs, crackling with blue and white flames, came raining down on Zach, densely packed and converging towards him as if guided by a GPS tracker.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…
Zach didn't budge. With a mere thought, the hundreds of killing swords floating below him morphed into guardian swords and returned at a faster speed, forming a sword formation!
As it rotated, it became an impenetrable wall. The fireballs that struck it had no effect, as they were completely absorbed, turning into the nutrient source for the sword of killing.
The fireballs after the first round were fired off faster—both in terms of condensation speed and firing speed—now a barrage as dense as a hailstorm!
The scorching flames caused ripples in the air, warping the surroundings and distorting the scene.
The Slaughter Sword could transform, and the stored attack had no upper limit. However, once used, it would be drained, similar to a floodburst; how powerful it was depended on how much energy was inside it.
Seeing the timing was just right, Zach slowly raised his hand, casually.
Snapped!
With a snap of his fingers, Boom! Boom! Boom…
There was no need for the ghost mages to laboriously condense fireballs one by one. Instead, thousands of fireballs appeared above their heads, quickly reaching full size.
The fireballs' diameters were roughly two to three meters in size.
The surroundings were entirely enveloped in flames, casting a thick orange hue over everything.
Zach's raised hand came down swiftly.
Boom! ! ! Boom! ! ! Boom! ! !
Thousands of fireballs rained down like a hailstorm.
The explosions, followed by the flames and black smoke, merged together and spread outward.
Under Zach's feet, the area turned into a blazing sea of flames.
The ghost mages' figures were now indistinct, cloaked in darkness, leaving only faint outlines.
These too were quickly consumed by the intense heat.

...
The system prompts were updating so quickly they were a blur, still based on Zach's standards.
Not to mention ordinary people.
Thousands of ghost mages, the very bosses of the bosses, were obliterated in an instant! They were killed in seconds!
"Damn!" Zach suddenly realized something was wrong, raising his hand to his forehead, feeling frustrated with his own oversight. "It burned so badly that there isn't even a speck of ash left. How am I supposed to extract anything?"
With a wave of his hand, the sea of flames dissipated.
He hoped to salvage something, even if it was just a tooth or a fingernail.
But there were no bones left…
Fortunately, when the Nether Mages perished, they left behind wisps of blue fire.
This blue fire was their soul essence, harmless yet visible to the naked eye.
Attempting to touch it, his palm would pass straight through it.
After a while, it would dissipate completely.
"Is this setting tailor-made for me?" Zach laughed.
Over the next moments, he moved swiftly, almost like a blur, as he circled the wisps of blue fire to perform extractions.
The soul was superior to the body.
[Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for gaining spell power +10 and insight +5!]
[Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for gaining Nether Armor +1! Vitality +10!]
[Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Netherfire +1! Ability Power +15!]
...
The endless extraction continued, and Zach's efforts did not disappoint.
He checked the descriptions of the Nether Vambraces and Netherfire.
Nether Armor: Equipped for the left arm of the Nether mage, it can condense blue fireballs.Netherfire: A one-time magic attack from the Nether Mage.
While Netherfire had no lasting effect, he kept it, but stored the Nether Armor in his system backpack. This armor was an enhanced version of Netherfire and could be used repeatedly, provided enough mana was available.
The strength of the blue fire was so overwhelming it was called "wisdom"—one of the attributes.
The stronger the skill, the more wisdom points were required.
Wisdom points could regenerate over time or be restored with potions.
The average person had around 1-3 wisdom points.
Zach? Over ten thousand.
But it didn't matter to him since skills didn't require consumption.
What mattered more was the power of the law, which could add bonus damage to his attacks.
Good stuff!
[Ability Power +3200!]
[Insight +2457!]
[Vitality +2850!]
...
Without hesitation, he added them all.
"Come on, give me more experience." Zach was fully prepared.
"Or do you want to just let me go?"
Zach didn't believe that the person behind the scenes dared to lock him in here forever. It wouldn't take a lifetime, just a year. At this rate, Zach would at least be comparable to a god!
At that point, the main mastermind would surely perish!
Even without his full strength, Zach had hundreds of SSS-level skills, always able to find a way out.
Boom! ! !
His danger perception ability was triggered!
Zach immediately turned around to see a fireball, ten meters in diameter, hurtling toward him. It was so bright, it outshone the sun!
Incredibly fast!
Danger perception allowed him to predict the attack, but the fireball was already nearly on top of him.
Fortunately, the 360-degree sword formation protected him, receiving the full brunt of the attack.
Though the sword formation held firm, the tremors were palpable, lasting a significant amount of time!
