Chapter 128: The Terrifying Death Skeleton
A tall giant beast skeleton scurried forward with four thick skeletal legs. The three remaining skeleton warriors on their backs struggled to throw the bone spears in their hands. A few feet in front of him on the left, a tall skeleton leader raised the huge black scythe in his hand and rushed forward in great stride.
Three bone spears hit the skeleton leader's huge skeleton one after another, only to splash a few bits of dust and bone chips, and they were bounced away. The skeleton leader had no intention of dodging or parrying these bone spears, allowing them to crash into his own bones. To it, the attack projected by this bone spear was not at all threatening, not even harassment.
Due to his height and long legs, it was only a few big strides before the skeleton leader rushed to the side of the giant beast skeleton, and the black scythe raised high in his hand slashed down like lightning.
There was a crisp sound of "clang". The huge black scythe brought a whirring sound of wind, drawing a black arc, directly splitting a skeleton warrior on the back of the giant beast skeleton close to this side in half, and then the scythe continued to slash without stopping. The few thick bones on the left side of the giant beast skeleton's back could not block the sharp scythe and broke off in response.
"Whew" the giant beast skeleton screamed in pain, not only did the fracture of the bone make it painful, but the huge force on the scythe also caused it to take a few steps forward to the right, and almost fell down.
The skeleton leader did not stop there, and two swift strides rushed up from behind the side, and the huge scythe in his hand swept away. It's a "sonorous" sound again. The two thick hind leg bones of the giant beast skeleton also failed to withstand the sharpness and great force of the scythe, and they broke off in unison.
With a terrible howl, the giant beast skeleton tumbled forward to the ground under the force of inertia. The two remaining skeleton warriors on its back naturally did not escape their doom in such a situation, and were squeezed by the huge bone body of the giant beast skeleton, the bone joints were shattered, and the body collapsed.
With a sweep of the sword, the skeleton leader did not stop, and continued to stride towards the other giant beast skeleton rushing to the left.
A black knight did not stop rushing forward, but swung the spear in his hand with all his might, fending off an enemy black knight rushing towards him on the left. It mainly parries and resists, and there are not many opportunities to counterattack, and under the instructions of the Death Knight Marcus, the little brother of the Black Knight, who has made a lot of progress with his wisdom, also knows that once it stops the momentum of its forward rush, it will be difficult to have a chance to escape.
So, it tried its best to parry, only to urge its crotch mount to rush forward frantically. At this time, the enemy black knight has fallen behind, but he can attack with a spear unscrupulously.
Just as the little brother of the black knight rushed out of a distance of dozens of zhang, he turned around and swung his spear to block a straight stab from the back of the enemy black knight, and another enemy black knight rushed in front of him, the spear was straight and fast. The little brother of the black knight didn't have time to turn around and parry, and was directly penetrated by the spear of the enemy who suddenly rushed out, and his whole body hung on the tip of the spear, and he was picked away from the war horse.
Such scenes are playing out everywhere on the battlefield. The all-cavalry mobile unit led by Marcus, the Knight of Death, suffered heavy losses under the onslaught of enemy troops on the flank. Twenty or thirty giant beast skeletons were all cut down and knocked down in a short period of time. Others had to stop their rush under siege from the skull leaders and the Black Knights. Their fall behind means that they have completely lost the chance to escape, but they only delay their fate for a while.
Marcus Marcus, the Death Knight, and two low-level Death Knight companions, along with the high-level skeleton mage Kuru and the ranged magic attack unit, have been flanking the cavalry with all their might, flanking off the onslaught of several enemy units.
It's just that the enemy they face is also very strong. Three Death Knights, two Skeleton Lords, more than a dozen Skeleton Bosses, and nearly a hundred Black Knights, that's the number of enemies they can intercept with all their might. In the face of the onslaught of enemy troops, this is already the limit of what they can do!
Despite the terrible screams of the younger brothers of his subordinate troops from time to time on his side and behind him, the skeletal face of Marcus, the Grim Reaper Knight, who had always been expressionless, still did not show expression. But the fierce flickering of the soul flame in its eyes still showed the pain and anger in its heart.
If given a little time, Marcus was confident that he would be able to kill the two enemy Reaper Knights in front of him, and his anger and regret at the heavy losses of his men made him desperate to do so. But reason still kept it a little lucid. Now the whole cavalry unit is not out of danger, and it itself must continue to flee quickly to ensure that it can continue to lead and cover the escape of more subordinate cavalry units.
Under Marcus's orders, Kuru, a high-level skeleton mage flying in the sky, led a long-range magic attack force to throw all kinds of low-level magic at the enemies below. They do not seek to kill or injure, but only to delay and intercept the enemy. Marcus, the Knight of Death, and Kuru, a high-ranking skeleton mage, led a group of his subordinates who were responsible for intercepting them and fought and retreated.
Although the high-level skeleton mage Kuru and the younger brothers of the magic army only used their low-level magic with all their might, only seeking to release a large amount of magic quickly to interfere with and block the enemy's breakthrough, their appearance in the sky still attracted the attention of the Grim Reaper Skeleton Enchigus, who had been pulled behind by the large army of enemies.
Enchigus himself was also promoted from a high-level skeleton mage, so he naturally knew the strength of the skeleton mage very well. It was amazed by the speed and power of the magic he unleashed. Of course, Enzigus could easily see that the White Bone Staff wielded in Kuru's hand was quite good in support. It also makes it salivate.
And what interested Enziggs even more was the cousins of the eight little devils and the seven evil spirit brothers. This kind of soul body, which is not like a lich, can actually release magic. Never heard of it in the world of the dead. In particular, the terrifying stabbing spell released by the eight little devils, although silent and invisible. But the effect of the stab is very obvious. This inexplicable and strange attack spell also made Enzigus even more curious.
Therefore, it is very unfortunate that the high-level skeleton mage Kuru and the younger brother of the magic army are attracted to Enchigus, the skeleton of the Grim Reaper, who was originally going to wait for the Lich King's forces to attack.
The Grim Reaper Skeleton Enzigus has a petite and swarthy skeleton, and its head is not large, but it is very round and well-proportioned. The eye cave also shone with an almost soft pale blue soul light. Just looking at this child-like skeleton, it looks like it has a touch of cuteness. It's just that there are two rows of sharp barbs on the side of a pair of wide black bat wings on its back, which adds a bit of hideous image to it.
To be valued by the Undead King, the Grim Reaper Skeleton Enchigus naturally has extraordinary strength. Not to mention the rarity of the Grim Reaper skeletons in the undead realm, their magical abilities are even stronger than ordinary undead lichs, and their magic release speed is twice as fast as that of any high-level undead spirit.
With a flap of the wide, pure black batwing behind Enziggs, his body shot like a sharp arrow from behind. It flies a few points faster than a Blood Skull. Moreover, the flight of this Grim Reaper skeleton Enchigus obviously does not simply rely on the wings on its back, judging from the wind elements that hover back and forth around its skeleton from time to time, it is known that it also has the effect of magical flight.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Enzigus had already swept a distance of dozens of kilometers and flew over quickly. Its petite skeletal claws stretched out, and a thick cloud of black gas erupted, and then the black gas quickly condensed in the air, and the next moment the black gas formed a huge black net that quickly stretched out and was several feet wide, and it fell towards the two little devils and a few evil spirit brothers.
Because Enkigus was flying too fast, the younger brothers of the magic army were all concentrating on dealing with the enemies below. This time, the giant net attack is already equivalent to a sneak attack. Even Kuru, the high-level skeleton mage who reacted the fastest, couldn't react.
The two little devils and the four evil spirit brothers naturally had no time to react. Under the black giant net, the little devil and the evil spirit brothers were shrouded in it without resistance. As the giant net tightened rapidly, the little devil and the evil spirit brother who were desperately struggling in reaction all let out a painful hiss.
Obviously, this giant web of black gas condensation has a special effect on the soul body. As the black giant net shrank rapidly, the struggles and roars of the little devils and evil spirits who were wrapped in it became weaker and weaker. In the end, the black giant net shrank into a large mass of basins, recovering the form of black qi, tightly wrapping the two little devils and the four evil spirit brothers. And there was no movement or sound from inside.
The Grim Reaper Skeleton Enchigus captured the two Devils and the four Evil Spirits in one fell swoop with just one understatement, and it is still unknown whether they are dead or alive now. This shocked both the high-level skeleton mage Kuru and the Grim Reaper knight Marcus below.
Obviously, the strength of this Grim Reaper skeleton Enchigus is too terrifying, far from being something they can compete with. But now that their greatest reliance, Han Feng, is gone, there is no one who can resist and contain such a strong enemy. They can't just be caught.
Kuru, a high-level skeleton mage who claimed to be the number one fighter under Lord Han Feng, also had to fight hard at this time. It waved the white bone staff in its hand, and three consecutive ghost arrows flew towards the Death Skeleton Enchigus, and it actually took the initiative to attack.
With the right-hand hand of the Staff of Bones, these three Ghost Arrows are released extremely quickly, and their power is also three points greater than that of ordinary Ghost Arrows. This is already the result of the full force of the high-level skeleton mage Kuru. It didn't expect to hit the overly powerful Grim Reaper skeleton Enchigus, it just hoped that these three spells could delay and block Enchigus's reattack as much as possible.
The soul light in the eye cave of the Grim Reaper skeleton Enchigus flickered, and it seemed to exude a somewhat sarcastic color. It was a Death Skull, which had been promoted by a high-level skeleton mage hundreds of years ago, and there was a big gap between it and the Kuru in front of it. I didn't expect Kuru to dare to take the initiative to attack it. It's no wonder that it mocks Kuru's inadequacy.
Between them, Enziggs's seemingly petite and fragile bony claw fingertips flicked in front of him, and a circle of black light quickly spread around its fingertips, quickly forming a transparent black light screen. Three fast-flying ghost arrows hit this layer of light one after another.
But I saw that this layer of light screen was like being thrown into the water surface by small stones, and there were layers of waves. But that's all there is to it, the attack of the three ghost arrows only caused a few layers of light on the light screen, and then quietly disappeared.
