Chapter 82 - 81: The Power of the Temple (Please follow and support!)"_l
Rumble
Large rocks several meters high shattered like fragile wood, and the Giant Beast of Deathremains clawed out and again exerted force, its entire right forelimb sweeping around.
The mountain rocks first shattered, then exploded dramatically, and chunks of rubble were flung out tens of meters. Wooden walls, fences, watchtowers, and so on… all smashed into pieces, leaving only a gap several meters long within just two blows.
Creating such a gap solely with its strength was not challenging for Dead Bone, and could even have been achieved more quickly.
However, executing an attack with a twenty-meter-long sword was not
without costs for it.
Unlike it, the Giant Beast of Deathremains could affect a vast range with just a simple strike. This was the power of war weaponry, unreachable by single entities.
That was also the sole reason why Dead Bone had invented the war skill with
all its efforts.
Bang !
The Giant Beast of Deathremains continued to strike around. Its magnificent body loomed a few meters higher than the arrow towers, casting a large shadow as it looked down and effortlessly plowed through the entire arrow tower with a single sweep.
Meanwhile, the Giant Beast of Deathremains naturally faced countless attacks from the snake men.
Arrows, acid, rolling stones, and even massive fireballs, several meters in diameter, fell one after another.
However, the sturdy Dead Bone, when constructing the Giant Beast of Deathremains, didn’t just erect a skeleton. It also covered the exterior, especially the weak joints of the limbs, with a thick bony shield.
Unlike the fragile skeleton monsters, the Giant Beast of Deathremams was perfectly integrated and its bones were connected to Dead Bone’s own skeleton, making it quite hard.
As the giant beast rampaged across the battlefield clad in white armor, not even flaming fireballs causing bone shards to splash about could defeat it.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
More high-level monsters had appeared, including roaring giant snakes, snake men wielding curved swords with their four arms, and even snake man wizards that summoned marshland elites such as the ‘Jet Poison Dragon’.
‘The White-Scaled Giant Snake: A war weapon cultured from flesh and a special method, not a real life form.’
‘Snake man Trick Dancers (Rare**): Profession Level 3, proficient in swordsmanship and capable of killing enemies subtly.’
‘jet Poison Dragon (Rare*): Profession Level 1, skilled in spewing corrosive acid.’
The Great Lord was not on the battlefield, but once Dead Bone was promoted to a hero, it acquired the ‘Instant Assessment’ ability just like a chosen lord.
Meanwhile, Dead Bone acted as a signal relay station. Its spiritual link power spread around through the Hero Dead Bone, with no loss, connecting all the over a hundred units on our side.
Its mental power was fully unleashed, causing its eyes to glow faintly silver.
Under its command, dozens of Skeleton Warriors had already advanced to the front of the snake man tribe under the cover of the Skeleton Giant Beast. Dust filled the air here, but under the view of various scout positions – Hurricane War Hawk, Mu Yuan could always perceive some silhouettes. He then precisely directed the Skeleton Warriors to launch attacks.
Further away, Strong Shooters and the Silver Slime and ghosts scattered around also coordinated their efforts.
The over a hundred elites were like a giant tightly-knit gear wheel, rolling forward and crushing everything in its path.
At the core of this gear wheel was the rampaging and destructive, one-bone power holding up the greatest pressure, the Dead Bone ■ Generation 1 Giant Beast of Deathremains edition.
There were white-scaled giant snakes leaping and trying to wrap around the giant beast’s forelimbs, but they were slapped into the ground causing the whole body of the giant snake to shrivel and ooze greenish blood.
Snake Man Trick Dancers kept harassing it. For such a powerful individual, the attacks of the Skeleton Giant Beast couldn’t hit them easily. But Dead Bone didn’t just control the Giant Beast for these enemies, it also wanted the warfare power.
In the battlefield, deafening sounds erupted one after another, splintered rocks and soil flew around.
After a while, the Skeleton Giant Beast, which had attracted a large amount of enemy firepower, finally couldn’t hold on. Its sturdy skeleton snapped and the tremendous creature fell heavily to the ground like a collapsing mountain peak, stirring up a sky full of dust.
The black-robed Dead Bone was revealed in front of the snake men from the cracked-open head of the giant beast.
Offense and defense had finally reversed, and now it was their turn!
The snake man trick dancers, several of them, surrounded him, grinning and laughing maliciously.
Dead Bone unplugged the bone spurs connecting to its body and slowly walked out. Facing him, about a dozen blades were slashing towards him; even an equal-level powerful being would be dismembered if they are not careful.
But for Dead Bone-
Lost the protection of the Giant Beast of Deathremains? Wrong.
Shed the heavy shackles and show its real power? <!
Dead Bone held ‘Wailing Death’, and wisps of black fog drifted over from all directions, merging into the sword body.
With a single sweep of its sword, the heavy force of the blade crushed the several rays of knife light in front of it, causing the snake-man’s curved knife to break and its arm to retreat in horror in a bizarrely twisted waving motion. However, at the same time, rays of knife light from both sides were about to fall on Dead Bone.
Several bone swords suddenly pierced out from Dead Bone’s scapula, elbow, knee, and other parts, not only blocking the curved knives that were hacking over, but the bone swords also twisted like snakes, stabbing towards the snake-man Trick Dancers around it.
Hacking, stabbing, chopping, swiping, sweeping…
The sound of metal clashing continued non-stop, with dozens of counterattacks taking place in just a few seconds.
The snake-man Trick Dancers were horrified to realise that although they held the numerical advantage and even had two pairs of arms, somehow… they seemed to be surrounded by a single skeleton!
They gradually couldn’t hold on, and their power was somehow being drained.
Squelch-
The bone sword pierced through a snake-man Trick Dancer’s torso. Dead Bone, fearing that the snake wasn’t dead enough, took the opportunity to get closer. Countless bone spurs emerged from various parts of its body, piercing the snake-man and causing its body to continuously convulse.
A few seconds later, as if being attacked by dozens of sword blades, Dead Bone controlled its bone sword to pierce through the chest of the second snake-man, firmly nailing it to a large rock like a dead eel. It raised its hand, shooting out bone spurs, continuously piercing through the snake-man, causing a huge rock to explode as a result of the punctures.
In the blink of an eye, only the highest level snake-man Trick Dancer remained in front of the fallen giant beast’s corpse.
This was a dishevelled female snake-man. She staggered back two steps, her eyes turning blood red as she charged again.
She let out a sharp scream, her four curved knives slashing in deep trajectories. In her struggle for life, this female snake-man seemed to have made a breakthrough, her skills becoming increasingly profound!
But responding to her was Dead Bone, which suddenly increased its energy output.
In an instant, Dead Bone drew out a pitch-black sword light several meters and tens of meters long. Its surrounding energy surged, dyeing the ground a withered black. Holding the sword with both hands, it made a heavy chop infused with intense undead energy.
Boom—!!!
A fan-shaped energy shock wave erupted, carving a deep dent of 6o° on either side into the ground and engulfing the female snake-man who was still unable to avoid it while moving in a serpentine fashion.
The ground trembled! In the dust-filled pit, only the remnants of a vaguely snake-like body were left.
Dead Bone cautiously approached, taking the opportunity to deliver a few more slashes while there was still time.
At the same time,
Captain Duo Lai, who had not appeared in the battle at all, had already quietly approached the mysterious temple amidst the chaos. This, of course, was commanded by Lord.
Mu Yuan prepared two plans for this battle.
He was not sure whether he could conquer the snake-man tribe or not. If he couldn’t, he would take the opportunity to explore the situation in the temple. If he could, the chance of getting the Temple Blessing would also make the battle easier.
Therefore, when Dead Bone was controlling the Giant Beast of Deathremains to attack the city, Mu Yuan was directing Duo Lai, Bone Two Bone Three Bone Four, straight towards the temple gate on the west side of the tribe.
“Cluck-”
“Bang!” “Swish!”
Duo Lai swiftly extended his two huge claws and patted them down, and several skeletons like Bone Two also forcefully threw their Bone Spears, blasting the snake-men to pieces.
At this moment, snake-men were rushing over from afar, led by a snake-man wizard who was standing on the head of a giant snake and commanding it.
Duo Lai stood in front of the temple gate with his hands on his hips, obstructing the path.
Bone Two and others, along with a camera-carrying Hurricane War Hawk, quickly entered the temple under Mu Yuan’s guidance and came before the God
Statues.
There were seven God Statues, with six already ruined. Only the last statue remained, its hands open, each hand releasing a faint light, but the light from the left hand was very dim, leaving only a wisp of it.
“Ding!”
