Chapter 571 - Skeleton Awaken



Chapter 571 Skeleton Awaken

The short spears charged towards the 6 wolf rider captains with combat qi. This would not work if they were normal short spears, but they were not. They were all thrown out by head commanders.

On top of that, they had armor-piercing attributes. The only thing the wolf riders could do was make their Mount wolves dodge. They were not confident that they could block one.

There were only 20 skeletons in front of the wolf riders. Of course, that was not all the skeletons those 10 deities had. Their main power and defense were still dependent on them.

Each deity had summoned 2 skeletons to support the wolf riders upfront, and that was already really draining.

While the knight’s short spears rained down, Abel’s arrow had also shown its power. It was about to hit a skeleton, but that skeleton quickly turned its head, hoping its vulnerable flame of life could avoid this strike.

However, no one in the human world had a better grasp of skeletons’ movement than Abel, who had been controlling skeletons for countless years in the Dark World.

Since skeletons were limited by their joints, they were only so flexible. Abel had taken advantage of this and shot an arrow straight into the skeleton’s eye and penetrated the blue flame of life in its skull.

If this was a normal arrow, it could only greatly injure a skeleton at most. Their flame of life might get smaller, and the fighting power would decrease.

However, Abel’s arrow carried some power of will. It could impact the summon contract’s flame of life.

A deity’s skeleton was very different from the one Abel had. Abel used the most ancient formula to summon skeletons from a dead body. It was purely made up of the bones from a dead body, which was then enchanted by the ‘Skeleton resurrection’ spell.

However, the deities had altered this ancient ‘skeleton resurrection’ spell. They first needed to capture a powerful fighter and torture them in the worst way possible to unleash all their emotions. Afterward, they would apply a curse to lock down all of the power of that fighting into their bones, turning them into a powerful skeleton.

Therefore, when Abel first discovered the ‘skeleton resurrection,’ he had to find a loophole in this spell.

The skeletons summoned by the most ancient skeleton resurrection did not have much fighting power. They could only inherit the experience of the summoner. Luckily, Abel was a powerful knight who had undergone professional knight training since he was young.

His skeletons often fought like knights, but their attacking power had always been a bother to Abel since he lacked the ‘skeleton support’ spell.

The orc deities skeletons were a lot more powerful. Their abilities were not affected by the strength and weaknesses of the summoner. It was impossible to find a deity with a physical strength like Abel anyway.

Since the orc deities’ skeletons had preserved the strength of a powerful fighter on top of the double enchantment of ‘skeleton resurrection’ and ‘skeleton support,’ their power was very scary.

However, this power came with a price. Since they had altered this spell, the contract also needed to be altered. The original ‘skeleton resurrection’ contract was signed through the soul chain.

They were not bound by any magic pattern; it just connected through the soul. However, the orc deities’ skeletons needed a contracted magic pattern to etch next to a skeleton’s flame of life.

Although arrows themselves could not affect a magic pattern, since they were immune to physical attacks, the power of the will on Abel’s arrow was their nightmare. Therefore, as soon as the arrow reached the skeleton’s skull, the contracted magic pattern was directly demolished.

Afterward, the skeleton quickly came to a halt. The flame of life in its eye turned from blue to red. Without the control of a contract, all the negative emotions in its brain began to take over.

At that moment, memories of the skeleton’s past life began to flash within. It suddenly remembered all of the torture it suffered through before it died. It was what made it the powerful monster it was.

This drove its body insane. It nimbly dodged all the wolf riders’ Mount wolves and gazed back with the red flame of life in its eye socket at its past owner–a black cloaked deity.

At that moment, that black cloaked deity was trying to withstand the mental impact of a destroyed contract. This mental impact made him lost all control of his other skeletons. Therefore, it only ran with the wolf riders through instinct.

No wolf rider had stopped the skeleton. The mysterious power of a deity was not something they could comprehend.

They also did not care about that skeleton turning back. Every deity wanted to retrieve their skeletons anyway. Since those deities had just become official deities, they did not have a powerful collection of skeletons like old deities, so every skeleton meant a lot to them.

If they lost a skeleton, they could not replace it in a short period of time.

With this in mind, all deities wanted to retrieve their skeletons as soon as possible, but they could not since they were on a mission. Still, their teammates wouldn’t complain too much if one of them decided to challenge this rule.

When that deity had regained his consciousness, the skeleton had already arrived in front of him. The skeleton dashed forward, and the deity could see a familiar shadow of a man yelling at him within the red flame of life of its eye socket.

He knew this man; it was a head commander his teacher had given him. It was a living human. He personally turned into a skeleton. At that time, he often had nightmares seeing this head commander, but slowly got used to it.

However, as he gazed into the shadow within that skeleton’s red flame of life, he felt like his nightmare dawned on him again.

Since this skeleton had countless markings of this deity, his bone armor did not recognize it as an enemy. Since the deity had just regained his consciousness from the impact, he also did not have time to control his bone armor.

Therefore, the skeleton had effortlessly dashed on to the deity’s weak death qi filled body, knocking him off his mount.

The skeleton bit on to the deity’s neck, which triggered the Bone Armour, but by that point, the skeleton tightly squeezed the deity’s body.

All of this has happened way too quickly, and the wolf rider captains up front were busy dodging short spears. A few wolf riders had been stabbed by the spears, and their formation became chaotic.

The deity on the ground was trampled on by a few wolf rider’s mount wolf, and his bone armor had soon faded along with his bone shield. All of a sudden, the red flame within the skeleton’s eye socket lashed out, and a massive force struck upon the deity.

Bang! An enchanted skeleton of a head commander had self-destructed in an explosion. A large amount of death qi, pain, and anger blasted outward in a flash.

The first one to get a taste of this explosion was the deity in which the skeleton was hugging. The force of the explosion had shattered it into pieces of meat.

Afterward, the death qi blast out had immediately consumed the life force of 10 wolf riders and their mount wolves nearby. It was like they had all become 10 years older all of a sudden.

Actually, the closest thing next to that deity should be other deities, but since it was knocked to the ground by a skeleton and it was trampled on by a few mount wolves. Other deities didn’t have the chance to move away.

Since those mount wolves’ life force had decreased, their speed had slowed down. Slowing down was the most dangerous thing in an accelerating formation. The wolf riders in the back were not expecting it, so they viciously crashed into each other.
