Chapter 68: Mystic Realm Crystal

“Ding ~ Troop has entered Berserk state. All attributes have increased by 30%. Lasts for 5 minutes before entering the Weakened state.”
The effective range of the Raging Blood Bead was 100 meters, which was enough to include all the troops.
The Berserk effect was immediate.
The eyes of all units turned blood-red, their blood vessels engorged, and veins bulging.
The efficiency of their slaughter soared.
A Naga Warrior could cleave through a black skeleton with just two strikes.
The entire team advanced at a much faster pace.
At this point, there were less than fifty meters remaining.
The Skeleton Commander, clad in heavy armor and wielding a bone axe, stood in front.
“Human, if you want to destroy the portal, you must first pass through me!”
“You must be the Songstress!” muttered Jichen under his breath.
He waved his hand, signaling the Sea Elves to blast the Skeleton Commander.
“My Lord, my mana is depleted!”
“Mine too, not a drop left.”
Each of the companions paled. Their faces showed exhaustion.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Sea Elves, quickly restore your mana!”
“Naga Warriors, charge and engage the Skeleton Commander!”
The Naga Warriors shattered the remaining few black skeletons and rushed forward with a roar.
The Skeleton commander’s eyes flashed red, swinging his bone axe.
Thud!
The two charging Naga Warriors were sent flying, crashing into several Goblin Rangers.
Jichen gasped in astonishment as he couldn’t believe the commander had such high combat power.
It could easily send two Naga Warriors flying with a single blow?
Since close combat wasn’t working, let’s see how it would handle ranged attacks.
“Goblin Rangers! Shoot it!”
Over a dozen harpoons were fired, and the Skeleton Commander blocked some of them with his axe, but the rest hit their mark accurately.
The harpoons, which could easily tear through white skeletons, only left three dented circles on the thick bone armor.
It couldn’t be said that there was no damage, but it was barely noticeable.
The Skeleton Commander not only possessed astonishing strength but also formidable defense.
Not just the Goblin Rangers, even the Naga Warriors’ attacks had limited effect, only causing small cracks with each strike.
“Damn, this thing is too tough. It is indeed a monster leader.”
The power gap between ordinary units and leaders is truly vast.
Now he could only rely on the Sea Elves to see if they could inflict any significant damage.
Watching Alice’s increasingly pale face as her mana was about to be depleted, Jichen couldn’t help but feel anxious.
“Human, your soldiers can’t harm me. Give up!”
“The shadow of the king will cast over this world.”
After sending another Naga Warrior flying, the Skeleton Commander spoke in a gloomy tone.
Jichen couldn’t be bothered with it anymore.
This Skeleton Commander clearly had some major issues, his mind not functioning properly.
The limitations of the Crystal Realm had left them with a narrow perspective, completely unaware of the greater world outside.
For these skeletons to think they could conquer the world was the biggest joke of this era.
The Naga Warriors charged one by one, being knocked back one by one, but their numbers were enough to hold the Skeleton Commander in check.
And the Skeleton Commander, wary of the crystal apparatus behind them, dared not pursue, only passively resisting the pressure.
“My Lord, we have enough mana to cast two rounds of spells now!”
At that moment, the Elf’s words brought a smile to Jichen’s face, and he immediately gave the order without hesitation.
“Blast this thing to pieces!”
Thirty-five Elves simultaneously cast their spells, and the accumulated energy surged continuously.
With each low chant, over a hundred water arrows suddenly shot out and exploded upon the skeleton commander in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
The concentrated energy even formed a small mushroom cloud, creating a powerful shockwave that made it difficult for Jichen to maintain his footing, and even sent nearby motionless skeletons flying.
As the dust slowly settled, Jichen focused his gaze.
The outer layer of the skeleton commander’s bone armor was severely damaged, with skull-sized holes revealing the similarly damaged skeletal structure beneath.
Even the arm wielding the bone axe had flown off somewhere, unbeknownst to the skeleton commander.
Indeed.
While its physical defense was outstanding, it had little resistance to magical attacks.
Finally, they broke through this tough turtle shell!
“Impossible… how could this happen…”
The once-composed skeleton commander couldn’t help but panic, and its flickering soul flame betrayed its unease.
Using the remaining mana, they had just recovered, the Elves unleashed a final round of water arrows.
The bone armor was blasted into pieces, completely exposing the skeleton commander’s bones.
Now the skeleton commander resembled a turtle without its shell, in an extremely vulnerable state.
As the saying goes, “kicking someone when they’re down.”
Jichen wasted no time in giving the order to attack.
This time, the Naga Warriors and Goblin Rangers finally had the opportunity to display their prowess.
Amidst the skeleton commander’s despair and unwilling voice, a relentless onslaught ensued.
“Ding – Styne the Malevolent Wind (Commander), you have received 30500 EXP.”
“Your level has increased by 9—10).”
“Shallow Sea Murlocs, Naga Warriors, Elite Pirates, Siren Hero: Alice leveled up (9-40).” “Sea Elves… (8—9), Murloc Rangers… (5—8) .”
Jichen couldn’t spare a moment to revel in the joy of leveling up. He quickly ordered his troops to attack the crystal device.
Under the fierce impact of the tridents, the crystal device, which was emitting energy, trembled slightly, and the flow of red energy dissipated.
With the loss of energy supply to the realm gate, it violently fluctuated and gradually vanished, revealing the trees behind it.
At this moment, the units exited their berserk state and entered a weakened state.
Alice’s singing also coincidentally came to a stop.
Jichen’s face first showed delight, but then his whole body tensed up.
He remained alert, looking around cautiously.
Just as the skeletal horde, which had recovered from its stupor, was about to rush forward, they suddenly stopped in unison.
The soul flames in their eye sockets extinguished without warning, and their bodies disintegrated automatically.
When everything came to a halt, there were no skeletal creatures standing around.
At this moment, Jichen finally let go of his worries completely and sat down on the ground, feeling somewhat drained.
His spirit was slightly weary.
This battle had been extremely perilous.
It was the most dangerous fight he had encountered since arriving in this world.
He had come dangerously close to losing his life here.
All the units had reached their limits and exerted their maximum strength.
Every step had been perfectly timed.
If he were to face another battle like this, he wasn’t sure if he could safely overcome it.
It was unknown if these skeletons had committed suicide.
Therefore, apart from the Skeleton Commander, the other skeletons did not receive any experience.
Otherwise, with so many skeletons, it would be enough for him to level up a few more times.
After resting for a while.
Ji Chen got up from the ground and went to the crystal device.
The crystal device had been torn apart by the attack just now.
[Mystic Realm Crystal]
[Status: Medium Damage 8o%/ioo%]
[Effect: Constructs a gateway to a specific realm.]
[Materials required for repair: 3000 units of crystals]
[A special structure left behind by a certain civilization, capable of constructing a gateway to a specific realm.]
The recent attack has caused damage to the crystal, forcefully halting the realm gate.
If one wishes to reopen it, resources must be spent to repair it.
However, this puts the initiative in his hands.
Without the crystal device, the skeletal creatures within the realm will undoubtedly be unable to return here.
But if he makes the necessary preparations, he can calmly open the gateway after repairing the device and lead his troops into the realm.
At that time, it will be their ultimate doom!
