Chapter 43: Skeleton Soldiers (Three Watches)

【Monsters: Skeletons of the Underworld】: When the flesh and skin of the deceased decay at the end of their lives, only the bones can last long. The underworld spreads the dead breath of the dead, causing skeletons to rise again from the ground, and the cursed life will lose everything it had before it, and the only thing it has is an infinite desire for life and living flesh.

------------------------------------------------------------

As they went deeper and deeper into the Asiatic Gorge, the smoke around them became noticeably thicker, and it didn't take long for the team to be attacked again.

"Raise your shield, take cover!"

Kratos' senses seemed to be greatly elevated in the dense fog where his vision was blocked, and he immediately yelled loudly when the sense of crisis suddenly came to him.

Almost as soon as Kratos' warning sounded, Kohler's voice was heard in front of him.

"It's a skeleton archer, about fifty in number!"

The sound of bowstrings tightening sounded in the depths of the fog, and with the whistling sound of breaking through the air, one after another broken arrows suddenly appeared from the thick fog.

These guards were seasoned veterans of the battlefield, and when they heard Kratos's warning, they immediately raised their shields and skillfully leaned on each other to protect their companions' backs.

Countless arrows swarmed like locusts, striking the wooden shield with a muffled popping sound, but in a moment the shield array in a circle was filled with arrows.

But the rain of arrows didn't last long, and after about three rounds of shooting, it slowly stopped, followed by the sound of clattering bones rubbing.

"The gods are above...... A large number of skeletons armed with weapons. Before everyone could catch their breath, Kohler's exclamation rang out again.

"Fight!"

Kratos pulled out the bronze long sword at his waist and rushed into the fog first, he didn't care about the misty smoke in front of him, the bronze sword in his hand suddenly swung out, and the real feeling of slashing at the object immediately after the tenacity was drowned in the smoke.

Kratos jerked his hand into the fog, and with a forceful pull, an eerie skeletal crack appeared in his sight through the fog.

"This is ......"

Kratos was shocked when he saw the skeleton in his hand, and then he crumpled the skeleton's head into pieces, the headless body twisted and fell, and the torn leather armor and weapons fell to the ground with a dull crashing sound.

Unlike what they had encountered before, the skeleton that appeared at this time was dressed in shabby leather armor and held a weapon commonly used by human soldiers.

"These skeletons are the human soldiers who were killed in the Asian Gorge before, and after their deaths, their bodies were eroded by evil spirits, and finally transformed into resurrected skeletons. ”

After seeing the faces of these skeleton soldiers, a series of information naturally poured out of Kratos's mind.

At this time, Kratos's tattoo on his body was even more red as if it was stained with blood, and the power hidden in the cursed tattoo seemed to be slowly activating due to the strange aura in the Asian Canyon.

"Follow me and get out!"

Kratos roared, his sword fell, and a series of two skeleton soldiers were smashed to pieces, and at the same time, a punch was thrown out to knock the skeleton soldiers who suddenly rushed out of the dense fog next to him, and a series of crashing and shattering sounds were heard from the direction of the flight.

Kratos is like a tiger entering a flock, and all the skeletons are crushed at the touch of him, and there is no enemy at all.

But the skeleton soldiers around him did not decrease in the slightest, and the pressure on the guards also increased, and each step forward required a huge amount of strength, and the ground under his feet was covered with a thick layer of broken bones.

At this time, Kohler was also forced to retreat to the ranks by the skeleton soldiers besieged by Dabo, and he was not good at fighting, so he could only be protected in the defensive circle with the third prince to use bows and arrows to resist the enemy.

Kratos guesses that the corpses of the soldiers killed in the last time he defended the rift have all come back to life, and they are constantly gathering because of the smell of their living people.

"Narrow the defensive circle, and the four of them draw their bows and shoot arrows in four directions in the defensive circle. ”

After smashing a skeleton soldier blocking the road with his body, Kratos suddenly shouted loudly, and when he heard the guards under his command immediately move, the slightly loose defensive circle that was originally twenty-three people gathered together immediately compacted, and the four guards pulled out the arrows in the quiver behind them and shot them into the air in four directions, front, back, left and right.

Kratos' ears were beating as he used his body to clear the way for the team in front of him, and when the fourth round of arrows was fired, his body suddenly shook, and the phantom of the Boar of Ermantos suddenly appeared from behind him.

"Roar!"

A beastly roar spread out, blowing away some of the fog around it.

Kratos' arm swept forward suddenly, shattering all the skeletons around him with a single blow, and then rushed in the direction of the right, setting off a rain of bones where his body passed, and countless skeletons were directly smashed into pieces by him, turning into white bone chips scattered everywhere.

Without warning, the slave guards immediately moved in the direction from which the sound came, with Kratos in front of them, and they kept their formation moving forward quickly, and it wasn't long before a huge black shadow emerged from the thick fog.

Bang!

There was a sudden loud bang in the dark shadows, and Kratos's body slammed into the mountain wall, and his beast-like strong body smashed a huge crater directly into the rocky mountain wall with the blessing of 50 horsepower power.

Kohler's eyes lit up when he saw the hole, and he immediately took the lead in without waiting for Kratos to speak. Seeing this, the third prince, Arthur Evans, also followed, and then all the guards had their backs to the pit and formed an airtight defensive formation with shields.

"Alternate defenses, Luke, Arcadia, Lyon...... The five of you will form the first line of defense first, and when your strength is exhausted, you will be replaced, and Luka I will appoint you as the captain and be responsible for commanding the escort battle. ”

After hearing Kratos's order, everyone immediately moved, and Luca was appointed captain and immediately played a role, as a veteran of war, he commanded more than two dozen soldiers without the slightest pressure.

Arthur Evans' face immediately changed when he saw the guards rushing in, but he also knew that he had to give up his position if he wanted to survive, so he hurriedly urged Pandora to hide in the innermost part in a panic, and at the same time used his body to resist the guards who came in, and finally turned his back to the exit, holding on to the rock wall with both hands, trying his best to maintain a safe distance between his body and Pandora.

The unknown guards couldn't help but be surprised when they saw such a strange performance of the third prince of Mycenae, the third prince of Zhidao was really a good brother who was righteous, and he knew that brothers' wives should not be bullied.

Kratos stood like a reef in front of the crater, and all the surging skeletons were shattered when they hit him, and it didn't take long for a layer of shattered bones to pile up under his feet.

Seeing this, Kratos suddenly exerted force under his feet, and his whole body slammed backwards, pushing all the surrounding white bones to the front of the pit, and it didn't take long for the half-human-tall skeletons to pile up at the entrance of the pit, and the pressure of the shielded guards was greatly reduced again, but he was tightly surrounded by a sea of skeletons.

Kratos is like a fighting machine, every part of the body can be a lethal weapon.

Facing the tide of white bones, Kratos's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and the whole person slammed into it, sharp nails and rusty weapons fell on his naked body and even made a metal-like sound, and under his impact, dozens of skeletons were directly shattered into shattered white bones in an instant.

As the battle continued, Kratos did not feel the slightest tiredness, but the strength in his body became more and more abundant, and the muscles in his body tightened and bulged, almost exploding under his skin.

"Kill! As long as I kill all the monsters here, I will be able to have the strength of a hundred enemies, and any great prince will be sincerely subservient to my power!"

Kratos roared, his muscles vibrated hundreds of times in a single breath, and he punched the ground, and the violent force vibrated up, and the surrounding skeletons were directly shaken out, shattered into broken bones in the air, and finally fell to the ground into a forest of white debris.

"Strength, I want more strength!"

The beast spirit of the Grey Mountain Bear emerged from Kratos's back, its fangs and bloody mouths wide, and countless crimson red lights were sucked out from the bones all over the ground.

Nourished by the Red Soul, the Grey Mountain Bear's original lifelike form became more realistic, almost resurrecting from its long death.

Kratos, who received the feedback of the beast soul's power, only felt as if he had taken a stimulant, and the cells in his body were constantly jumping, and so far he had defeated at least a thousand skeletons, and the strength in his body had increased by dozens of horsepower.

Just as Kratos is basking in the thrill of gaining power, an abrupt howl wakes him up.

Kratos took a deep breath as if swallowed by a whale, and the white mist around him poured into his mouth like a tidal wave, and the fog that obscured his vision instantly thinned.

"Two-headed dogs, how could they be here!"

Although it was only a blurry image, Kratos immediately recognized the identity of the monster, which was actually a two-headed dog from the underworld.

Almost as Kratos and the others left the city of Telian and headed for the valley of Asia, in a golden hall of the Mycenaean royal palace carved with countless birds and sacred birds, a girl wearing a luxurious feather robe and a beautiful face sat on the throne with a cold expression.

Aphro's slender white fingers pinched a gray orb slightly larger than the tip of her thumb, and the light and shadow in it tumbled, and from time to time there was a muffling cry, as if a divine eagle was soaring inside.

"It is a great gift that Sogas, the waste, the king who rules the sky, was desecrated by the reptiles on the ground and gave his filthy soul to the Condor to devour. ”

"Your Highness Princess, the dignity of the sky does not allow to be desecrated, and let Pegasus go and bring back the head of that foolish Spartan and place it under the idol of Lord Phoenix. ”
