683 Blood Red Skeleton
Afterward, 30 skeletons would emerge from the sea of bones very 20 meters. Their strength did not increase, but they had perfected their fighting techniques and coordination.
Abel had just learned to do the ‘Tornado,’ so he still needed some time to fully grasp the skill. This was a great chance for him to practice.
With the sight and data analysis of the world stone, he needed to spot an enemy’s weakness and then unleash the most effective strike. This required an extremely calm mind. Like an assassin, he had to perfectly grasp an opportunity as soon as his enemy made a mistake.
However, the tornado was a totally different attack style. It felt more like the attack of a real knight through a crazy recycle of energy, crushing every enemy in the surrounding to death.
One was calm and one was vicious. Both of them had their pros and cons, but as a knight, Abel preferred this tornado style attack. It was violent, explosive, and unstoppable.
As he moved deeper into the sea of bones, he discovered a pattern in which those perfect skull gems would emerge. They would appear in every 30 head commander level skeleton.
In regards to that so-called orc god blood, he still had not came across any. Perhaps he still needed to go deeper.
Since he didn’t know the rule, he was afraid to turn back. He kept fighting his way forward while mastering his tornado. Along the way, he did not even waste much energy.
When he was around 1 mile in, another 30 skeletons emerged from the sea of bones. However this time, he realized that was one skeleton that was completely different from the rest.
It was blood red.
While the skeletons looked gruesome, to begin with, the blood-red made it look even scarier. It dashed towards Abel as soon as it emerged. Even the ones closer to Abel could not match up to it’s speed.
Abel sensed that this skeleton had the speed of a charging head commander. He placed his shield forward, ready to counteract this massive impact from the skeleton.
One side had a mount, and one side didn’t. One side was charging, and one side remained still.
Bang!
The blood-red skeleton’s long spear landed on Abel’s shield. The massive impact sent a shockwave through the sea of bones.
Abel always thought he was quite strong. When it came to attributes, his strength had actually broken the limit of humans. However, since he did not have a mount to absorb part of the impact, he had taken the hit straight on, one hundred percent.
He also did not have combat qi or mana to protect himself. He could hear the chilling sound of his bones grinding against each other; his knight instinct began to push this massive force downward.
In a moment, his legs were directly plunged into the sea of bones with this massive force. However, the momentum of that blood-red skeleton had also been transferred into the ground.
The long spear of that red skeleton had turned into a pile of scattered bones after the impact, but the skeleton then immediately pulled a rib from his skeleton horse and turned it into a long blade.
When Abel’s leg was stuck in the sea of bones, it’s second round of attack was ready. A red glow emerged from the long blade, and it struck Abel.
By that point, the other skeletons still had not arrived, and Abel could no recycle his energy through the tornado.
Abel was stuck; he could not move as he watched the long blade struck down. It was the perfect combination of speed and power that had made this strike almost unavoidable.
Abel ignited his sight ability again, and the whole world began to slow down. He could clearly see the body of that long blade, but even with this, the strike was only slowed to a normal speed.
It was the first time he saw a strike of this speed. This would not be a problem if he was on Black Wind, but at that moment he could not move in a flash. He could only block this almost illusive long blade with his sword and shield.
Abel could not pull his legs out of the sea of bones. Instead, he kept sinking deeper due to the relentless attacks. After a while, he sank to his knees.
Those other 29 skeletons riding skeletons horses had also arrived, ready to join the attack.
“White Snow! Kill them!” Abel yelled. He knew the situation was getting tense. If he kept going like this, he would be buried alive in this sea of bones.
White Snow suddenly expanded and swooped down. Although it’s claw was no longer protected by magic, they were still as sharp as blades.
Those skeletons were all focused on Abel, so they were unaware of the threat from the sky. This made Snow White’s first round of attack a lot easier.
It’s claw brushed against the spine of 4 skeletons, which immediately turned into a pile of scattered bones.
It viciously expended its wings. The knife-sharp feather flung outward and detonated 3 more skeletons into pieces.
Those skeletons became aware of White Snow, so all of them except the blood-red one turned towards it.
White Snow’s attacks were straight forward. It’s swooping momentum was already extremely strong in the first place. On top of it’s own physical strength, it did not need to dodge the attack of those 20 skeletons. Instead it charged forward as well.
Their bone spears landed on White Snow’s feathers. It was almost like they were striking against an iron armor.
Dong Dong!
Their strikes were completely neutralized. White Snow did not stop. The power of those skeletons was no match against a top-level spiritual beast.
White Snow couldn’t care less; it smashed those skeletons. It immediately shattered the spine of those skeletons and turned them into piles of bones.
The blood-red skeleton did not stop its attack on Abel. Abel did not have a mount, and he was so submerged in the sea of bones; he could not even move. He couldn’t attack a skeleton on a skeleton horse.
The only thing he could do was block. However, this would plunge him further and further into the sea of bones.
When his entire thigh was submerged, White Snow was already charging towards that blood-red skeleton after killing 29 skeletons.
The blood-red skeleton was a lot faster than the others. As White Snow was charging towards it, it changed directly almost at the same time and waved it’s blade towards White Snow.
The blade clashed against White Snow’s claw. White Snow paused for a bit in mid-air, but then it began flapping its wings again and continued to charge towards the skeleton.
On the other hand, the skeleton horse of that skeleton was knocked backward for 3 steps after the clash.
At the same time, Abel slammed his shield and sword towards the ground and his body immediately flew out of the sea of bones.
He was not looking good just then, so he had to be extra careful. Ever since he had gotten the sight and data analysing ability, he had never ran into anything that gave him a hard time. This blood-red skeleton had just taught him a good lesson.
If he had ignited his sight and data analysing ability sooner, he wouldn’t have been attacked by that skeleton like this.
White Snow reached its claw towards the blood-red skeleton again. That blood-red skeleton had just stabilised itself, and it’s blade was clashing against White Snow’s claw again.
Abel suddenly realized that for some reason, this blood-red skeleton was a few times stronger and faster than the normal ones. In this magic and combat qi forbidden place, it’s fighting power had a big advantage.
If Abel did not bring White Snow along with him, he would have been in big trouble.
White Snow was a Snow eagle. It was born with enchanted speed. With this immense speed, its claws could keep clashing against the blade of that blood-red skeleton continuously.
