Chapter 660 - 444: Slaying the Skeleton Lord? Attribute Explosion!
Once!
Twice!
Thrice!
When the fourth Deadly Strike burst forth, the White Bone Shields swirling around the Skeleton Lord were all shredded.
This Skeleton Lord, which had once posed a great threat to Fang Zhou, now had its body truly exposed!
ROAR!
Roaring in rage, the Skeleton Lord raised its Two-Handed Battleaxe high. Only after wisps of black mist coiled around the axe did it suddenly crash down, striking the ground.
However, this time it wasn’t rolling earth and a shockwave that burst forth. A layer of ashen light spread out from the impact point, instantly extending dozens of meters away.
Right under Fang Zhou’s watchful eyes, the earth cracked open!
One after another, pale Bone Claws broke through the ground, revealing themselves. Immediately after, countless ghastly white bones overturned the soil and crawled out from the ground. In just a few seconds, a Skeleton Legion numbering in the hundreds appeared and surrounded the Skeleton Lord.
A single Skeleton Legion was naturally not enough to threaten Fang Zhou. However, in the battle between him and the Skeleton Lord, this sudden appearance was enough to break the balance between them and buy the Skeleton Lord some time.
Is this also one of the Skeleton Lord’s skills?
The question flashed through Fang Zhou’s mind, and his figure vanished once again. He wouldn’t waste time. The moment the Skeleton Lord lost its White Bone Shield was undoubtedly when it was most vulnerable. Even with the Skeleton Legion obstructing him, Fang Zhou wanted to test if the Skeleton Lord’s skeletal body alone could withstand the power of a Deadly Strike and a Death Energy Slash.
With one step, Fang Zhou reappeared behind the Skeleton Lord.
Deadly Strike!
The Corpse Long Spear thrust out as ten dark Light Blades slashed straight toward the Skeleton Lord. At the same time, the Mutated Skeletons within this summoned Skeleton Legion also launched their attacks on Fang Zhou.
Bone Arrows! A shockwave! Spears thrusted, swords slashed, and axes chopped!
Executing another Death Charge to avoid the concentrated volley of attacks, Fang Zhou appeared within the Skeleton Legion.
"Death Tornado!"
Countless dark red Light Blades exploded, tearing through swathes of skeletons and reducing them to a sky full of shattered bones.
Meanwhile, the Skeleton Lord had dodged the attack on its vitals. The ten Light Blades didn’t hit its neck, but instead landed on its thick back. As a skill far surpassing regular attacks in explosiveness, the Deadly Strike left massive scars on the Skeleton Lord’s back!
Since the Deadly Strike could harm the Skeleton Lord, it meant that Fang Zhou now had a chance to kill it.
However, the Skeleton Lord’s skills were clearly not limited to the three it had already unleashed. After taking damage, the Skeleton Lord unleashed its fourth skill—Skinning and Bone Breaking!
An endless death aura erupted, twisting like fine Chains around the skeletons and shattered bones surrounding the Skeleton Lord.
The next moment, these skeletons and shattered bones soared into the air and rushed toward the Skeleton Lord! In the blink of an eye, the skeletons and shattered bones merged into the Skeleton Lord’s body like a flowing stream. The scars on its back disappeared. Its previously weakened aura also rapidly recovered.
Aside from losing some skeletons and shattered bones, this Skeleton Lord had recovered to its peak state right under Fang Zhou’s nose! Even more frustratingly, five White Bone Shields reappeared, encircling the Skeleton Lord!
Seeing this, Fang Zhou shook his head. He took a step forward, activating Death Charge once again. However, this time his target was no longer the Skeleton Lord, but the nearby Bone Castle.
It had Shockwave for attack, White Bone Shield for defense, Skeleton Summoning for support, and Skinning and Bone Breaking for healing.
Once he understood the composition of the Skeleton Lord’s power, even Fang Zhou had to sigh in admiration. As expected of the king who had ruled the Corpse Hills for countless years, the Skeleton Lord was an incredibly tough nut to crack. At least, while his current strength was enough to contend with the Skeleton Lord, killing it was incredibly challenging.
Nevertheless, even if the Skeleton Lord was a hard bone to chew for now, preventing him from obtaining the Soul Power and Corpse Essence it represented, Fang Zhou had other options. After all, there were still quite a number of Mutated Skeletons in the Bone Castle!
Using a Death Charge to leave the battlefield, Fang Zhou appeared directly inside an Arrow Tower on the walls of the Bone Castle.
The Corpse Long Spear slashed out.
CRUNCH!
The Skeleton Sniper stationed in the Arrow Tower had its skull shattered instantly, and it collapsed to the ground. After the successful strike, he didn’t pause for a moment, continuing toward the other places in the castle where Mutated Skeletons were stationed.
「Outside the castle.」
The Skeleton Lord was already beyond furious. When Fang Zhou fled from the battlefield, it had sensed something was wrong. When its skeleton minions began to disappear one by one from its Soul Perception, the Skeleton Lord grew even more enraged, rushing toward the Bone Castle at top speed.
Unfortunately, how could the inherently slow Skeleton Lord catch up with Fang Zhou, who possessed Death Charge? By the time the Skeleton Lord reached the Bone Castle, the dozen or so remaining Mutated Skeletons had already been slaughtered by Fang Zhou!
CRUNCH!
A cold light flickered. After killing the last Mutated Skeleton inside the castle, Fang Zhou took a step and activated Death Charge just before the Skeleton Lord arrived, appearing outside the Bone Castle.
