Abel did not have any sympathy towards those 24 orcs, but he still respected their bravery. It was a night and day difference combat to the ugly soul of wizard Hubert.

By the time White Cloud returned, not a single orc was left standing. The only one remaining was Abel.

White Snow turned into a normal snow eagle again and landed back on Abel’s shoulder. It was hard to imagine how this innocent looking thing had killed 24 orcs.

Abel was too lazy to search what was on those orcs. With their rank, what good things could they have anyway?

His gaze turned towards the sea of bones. The unknown was still waiting for him to explore.

He plunged his long spear on the ground and held the knight sword in his hand. He then snatched the magic shield from Head Commander Donald’s back. Although that magic shield was nothing too amazing, it still functioned as a normal shield.

The magic power of a magic shield was basically useless in magic forbidden places. Abel was just looking for something he could block with.

Abel felt a little sad. There was not a single being left. If magic wasn’t forbidden, he would be able to summon his spirit guardian knights, Johnson, or even Black Wind.

Then, he would be able to unleash his real power. He would feel safe even in the face of danger.

He didn’t expecting this place to forbid combat qi and magic, but it was also not too hard to imagine. Ever since he realized combat qi was banned in the orc competition, he had thought about this possibility.

No wonder why elite priest Dono would not enter this place even if he knew perfect skull gems could be found. An elite priest like him would not be able to match up to a normal orc in a place like this.

If Abel was only a wizard, he might be as dead as the others as well.

“White Snow, let’s go take a look at that sea of bones!” Abel said as he mounted his mount wolf a strode forward. He had full confidence in White Snow. Although it could not do attributed attacks, it was still very strong. No wolf rider captain could do anything to it without combat qi.

As soon as Abel stepped his the sea of bones, a strange energy wave emerged. There were scraping sounds from 10 places in the sea of bones outside of the 5 meters tall stone wall.

They were from bone scraping against each other. It was chilling in a quiet place like this. The sound got louder and louder. And soon, 30 skeletons emerged from those 10 places.

Abel suddenly realized why exactly 30 orcs were selected. The obstacle to entering the sea of bones was exactly the force of 30 orcs.

However, he did not regret killing those orcs. White Snow was far greater than those 30 orcs combined.

Still, he did not let White Snow fight. The skeletons were not strong, so he wanted to save White Snow’s energy for later if more powerful enemies emerged.

He didn’t have much food on him since he couldn’t open up any portal object. At most, they could only last him for 3 days. There were still some raw ingredients in his personal storage box, but those ingredients needed to be cooked.

The orcs might have had some food on them. But he didn’t know if he could turn around, and he didn’t want to lose his chance to enter.

It was too hard for him to stomach orc food anyway. Keeping White Snow in this tiny size would save him a lot of energy.

Out of those 30 skeletons, there was not a single one with the power of an official knight, so they could do nothing to Abel.

He waved his sword 30 times. Each time he struck upon the skull of a skeleton. In almost no time, those 30 skeletons had turned into piles of broken bones, merging with the sea of bones again.

He realized there was no flame of soul on those skeletons. They were only supported by some strange energy, something similar to death qi.

It was only his first step, and he had killed 30 skeletons. They weren’t too strong, with only some animalistic instinct to attack.

Their charges were suicidal, which even saved Abel some time to kill them.

Abel took the second and third steps. When he was in 5 meters, another 30 skeletons emerged from the sea of bones and crazily dashed towards him.

The skeletons were a little stronger than the last batch, but killing them was still quite easy.

As Abel kept moving forward, every few meters, 30 skeletons would stand up from the sea of bones from time to time, and they were getting stronger and stronger.

When Abel was 200 meters out, the skeletons had finally reached the power of a wolf rider captain.

If the other orcs were still here, this is where they would have met their end. It was no wonder Elite priest Dono had no hope for their batch.

If those orcs were not nobles, even elite priest Dono would not let them go into the orc god ceremony dimension. It would be a waste of time.

However, this was the perfect time for Abel to fully unleash his sword skills. He didn’t even get the chance to use his shield yet. Every strike he made landed perfectly on a skeleton’s most vulnerable neck or skull. Also, there were just too many flaws in those skeletons’ swinging attacks. Abel was too lazy to block them.

As Abel’s sword plunged into the skull of the last skeleton, he suddenly realised the challenge of this passage for those 30 orcs originally. If 30 skeletons kept appearing up, as long as an orc died, another orc would need to face 2 skeletons at once.

This would create a domino effect. If they kept going, more and more orcs would get killed by the ongoing amount of skeletons.

Although the powerful might survive for longer, their pressure would also increase as well.

Abel’s mount wolf moved for another 10 meters. By that point, the energy wave had clearly become more intense. Afterward, 30 head wolf rider captain level skeletons stood up. Those were basically the most powerful physical combat force of the Holy Continent.

In that place, Abel could not use combat qi or spell, but those skeletons were strengthened by death qi with each strike.

If these skeletons struck him, it would be like taking a hit from a head wolf rider captain

Abel finally looked serious. He gazed at the 30 skeletons charging towards him with his power of the will fully unleashed. Almost in an instant, the entire world slowed down. The sight and data analyzing ability of the piece of world stone had been ignited.

The boney arm of the first skeleton was only a meter from him. He first struck down with his knight sword, and then its sharp blade plunged into the spine of that skeleton from the side of its hand. With this gentle strike, the skeleton immediately shattered into pieces like a ceramic toy.

Afterward, Abel swiftly twisted his body and dodged the second skeleton just in time. He struck his shield, and it landed on the skull of that skeleton. As the skeleton’s vulnerable skull made contact with the iron shield, it directly cracked into two. The skeleton then immediately turned into a pile of scattered bones.

Since those skeletons had emerged from different areas of the sea of bones, they were all at different distances and could not all attack Abel at once.

That was why Abel could fight them off one by one. His attacks were effortless. Especially with the sight and data analyzing ability of the world stone: he could destroy a skeleton with every strike.

Abel had no idea how the orcs had fought in here. Although they would not get into a battle formation like humans, they still coordinated with each other in battle quite well. That was why in the past orc god ceremonies, all head wolf rider captain level orcs would try to practice with each other for a few days after they had been selected.

However, this time the orcs were so weak, even the priests did not organize a coordinate training for them. Not because they forgot, but because they thought it would be useless anyway.
