Chapter 420: Spirit (1)
Translator: 549690339 I
Under the stairs, more and more skeletons climbed out of the ground.
The skeleton that had been smashed apart by number five regrouped under the nourishment of the power of the undead and the Starlight, forming a new monster!
As the number of skeletons climbing up the stairs increased, the pressure on number six increased sharply. The flute sound that contained spiritual power was gradually covered by the frequent ‘ka ka’ sounds of bones.
Sweat quickly appeared on number six’s forehead as he barely managed to slow down the undead creatures that were approaching first. Even so, the effect wasn’t significant.
Fortunately, with number Five’s help, one controlled and the other violently stopped. They cooperated with each other and were temporarily safe.
However, this was not a long-term solution. The number of the undead was increasing, and number six and number five had noticed that the creatures that had been nourished and regenerated by the power of the undead were much stronger than the skeletons from before in terms of size, speed, reaction, and strength.
Even if No. 5 could defeat them for the time being, they would become even more powerful monsters after they reassembled.
They didn’t understand pain, and they wouldn’t back down.
On the contrary, number five and number six seemed to have the upper hand for the time being. However, the two of them were made of flesh and blood, after all, and their strength would be exhausted sooner or later. Once they were entangled by them, it would be difficult for them to escape death.
Fortunately, the two of them were both happy and worried. From the commotion on the altar, the Necromancer should have appeared.
He was happy that once the Necromancer appeared, song qingxiao and the others could think of a way to destroy it. The skeleton army he had summoned would be destroyed on its own.
However, he was worried that the Necromancer would not be easy to deal with judging from the formation he had created.
However, song qingxiao’s display of strength against the two-headed dog and giant was like a shot in the arm for the two of them. For the time being, the two of them didn’t retreat, and they waited with hope in their hearts.
But even so, under the attack of the powerful skeleton army, number five and number six were still retreating up the stairs.
The lower half of the stairs was filled with densely packed skeletons climbing up. At the end of the group of escapees, some people were soon suppressed by the power of the stars, and their footsteps gradually could not keep up with the group, falling behind.
The skeleton behind him caught up. The last escapee tried several times, but he couldn’t move forward at all. In just a few breaths, the skeleton behind him reached out its white bone claws and grabbed his clothes.
The escapee’s face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair. Once these demons, who were once transformed from humans, caught their prey, they would not let go and would drag the escapees down the stairs.
The sound of joints cracking could be heard as the captured escapee was quickly drowned by a group of skeletons.
Ah…” The shrill screams of the refugees were quickly drowned out by the ka ka’ sounds of the skeletons eating. The blood that spurted out dyed the grayish-white skeletons red.
The smell of blood spread out, causing the group of skeletons to become even more restless.
Such a way of dying was far more tragic than being trampled to death in the tunnel. The sound of countless teeth grinding on flesh was creepy. Number five heard it, but he couldn’t do anything.
On the altar, number Seven’s tail whip failed to hit its target. With the remaining force, he turned half a circle with his hands supporting his upper body, and his tail finally landed heavily on the ground with a bang.
A few wisps of black gas coiled around her tail, and the scales on the places that had been touched by the air of death withered and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Number seven opened his mouth and flicked his tongue. He made a ‘hissing’ sound in pain.
No. 1 and song qingxiao had seen her attack clearly. Her tail had passed through the Necromancer’s body.
In other words, a death mage’s body should be made up of mental energy and not physical. Such an attack would not work on him.
Number one endured the pain of his broken ribs. In his fear, he instinctively raised the bow in his hand and fired a few arrows in the direction of the Necromancer.
Before the arrow could touch the Necromancer, it seemed to be affected by a powerful energy, and its speed was reduced.
The closer they got to the death mage, the slower they became.
Under the corrosion of the undead aura, the arrowheads that were shining with a cold light began to decay and melt like candles. Finally, they turned into black ashes and silently flew in the air!
No. 1’s special ability should be invisibility, and this crossbow should be his greatest sneak attack.
At this moment, crossbows were completely useless against the Necromancer. Number one’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley, his body was cold, and his hands and feet were trembling.
He immediately had a thought in his mindrSuch an existence was not something they could deal with.
As soon as the thought of retreating and escaping came to mind, number one subconsciously wanted to turn invisible and escape.
Before he could put his thoughts into action, a slender, fair hand reached out and caught the crossbow in his hand!
Number one was in a daze. He was so shocked that he couldn’t react in time.
The crossbow was snatched away by song Qing, who was beside him.
Number one’s food had been taken away, and the shock he had received was no small matter. It had jolted him out of his fear of the Necromancer.
You …” He couldn’t help but ask. He instinctively wanted to reach out and take the bow back, but he saw song Qing aiming at the Necromancer again after snatching the bow.
There were still two arrows on the crossbow, and her intention was self-evident.
“I don’t…”
This thought flashed through number one’s mind. He had just tried it, and this kind of attack method was useless against the death mage.
However, the next moment, he heard song Qing narrow his eyes and pull the trigger. With a whoosh, the arrow left the string.
After firing the first arrow, song Qing tried to cover the arrow with a wisp of divine sense and pulled the trigger again. The arrow flew out again!
The two arrows, one in front and one behind, flew in the direction of the
Necromancer with a sharp momentum. When the first arrow was about to approach the Necromancer, its speed suddenly decreased.
Just like before, the Arrowhead began to decay. Number one had already expected this. Song qingxiao’s actions were just a waste of effort.
“With…” Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the second arrow approaching the Necromancer’s body.
But something that shocked number one happened.
When the second arrow approached the undead aura, it did not corrode.
Instead, it pierced through the black mist and went through the Necromancer’s raised palm, shooting into his chest!
Thick black fog emerged from the spot where the arrow disappeared. The Necromancer, who had his hands raised, instinctively lowered his head after being attacked. The long claws that were pierced by the arrow and still had black fog floating around them pressed against his chest. After a long while, he slowly raised his head. His eyes, which were like will-o-wisps, turned towards the direction of the three trial-takers.
In an instant, death, despair, fear, and other negative emotions turned into invisible pressure that firmly locked the three of them..
