Chapter 2257: The Puppet King (8)

"Are you serious?"

"Seriously. It's okay if you don't help, just stay there. "The Knight King shoved the binoculars to the imps.

"Wait, you ------"

Before Verne could finish speaking, Arthur had already scurried under the tree like lightning, and when he landed, his equipment only made a few low-key clangs. The three thieves patrolling the mountains just heard the sound and became alert, but the reaction speed was far less fast than Arthur, before they made a posture to prepare for battle, Arthur had flashed behind the group of bandits, raised the holy sword, and the bladeless sword body (scabbard) was aimed at the back of these guys' heads and knocked down, knocking one by one, and the three thieves fell to the ground in an instant.

"This is also ...... That's amazing, isn't it?!" Verne, who was watching everything from the tree, snorted incredulously. Although he heard that Arthur was going to suppress the bandits, he expected from the beginning that Arthur's combat effectiveness would not be bad. But he didn't expect Arthur's combat power to be so strong, strong enough to kill the enemy in an instant, but not to the extent that he really killed. Of course, it was not clear to Verne why Arthur would deliberately knock his enemies out with his bladeless blade, rather than killing the thieves directly. He thinks Arthur must have done it for a reason.

So he suddenly noticed that another thief had rushed out of the bushes not far behind Arthur, and when he was about to attack Arthur, Verne had already raised his crossbow and shot an arrow into the thief's thigh. The thief who wanted to sneak up on Arthur was rushing out at full speed, intending to use his speed to win and give Arthur a surprise attack, but he didn't expect that he was hit by an arrow in his leg during the full-speed sprint, and one of his thighs instantly became disobedient because of the stinging pain caused by the arrow, but the other thigh was still exerting force, and as a result, of course, he lost his balance and fell forward with his back to the sky. Arthur didn't even wait for the guy to fall to the ground, and with a shake of his body dodging the thief who bumped into him, he raised his sword with his backhand and slapped it, and the scabbard of the holy sword hit the guy firmly on the back of the head. The thief had not even felt the pain he should have felt when he landed on his face, and he had already been knocked unconscious.

"It hurts. Verne whispered from the tree.

"Bedi, it's all settled?" Arthur asked the Great White Wolf after cleaning up the last of the thieves who had sneaked up.

"Uh-huh!" replied Bediwell. There should be no more enemies in the vicinity, otherwise Bediwell would have alerted Arthur with a more nervous cry.

"Okay. The Knight King put away his sword: "Now tie up these fellows and hide them in the grass." Of course, they have to keep their mouths shut so that they don't wake up and scream. ＂

"Is that enough?" said Verne, who had climbed down from the tree, and saw that Arthur had begun to pick his clothes from the fainting thieves, and asked, "Since there are thieves in this vicinity, it means that this is already part of their patrol route, right?"

"No, the hills around here are still too close to the city for the thieves to patrol such places. Arthur pulled out a large bag of money from the pocket of one of the knocked out thieves: "These guys passed by here by accident, they must have just finished sneaking out of the city and were about to go back to their base, but unfortunately they ran into us in such a place." ＂

"I see. Arthur was so thoughtful that Verne had no way to refute it.

"It seems that these thieves are usually loosely organized and undisciplined, and their members actually run into the city in broad daylight to steal. Arthur continued, "In that case, their people fooling around in the city all day without returning to the base will naturally not arouse suspicion. Even if these three guys don't go back, the base will only think that they are still in the city and forget to return. ＂

"That's why you chose to make a move. Verne chimed in.

"A few less is a few. Arthur had stripped the three thieves of their coats, tied them up, gagged them with rags, and sent them into the thick grass beside them. That way, even if they were to whisper for help, they would only be heard from less than three yards away, and if there was no patrol on the bandits' side that passed by and got close enough, it would never be exposed.

Normally, but ------

Ooh. Arthur suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the grass where they were hiding the thieves.

"Wang!" Bediwell roared alarmedly.

Normal people don't react so quickly to what is going on. But Arthur, with his years of combat experience and extremely sharp intuition, instantly sensed that something was wrong, and he took a step back and shouted, "Bedi, take care of that little ghost!"

The great white wolf suddenly pounced, grabbed Verne's collar like a kitten and carried him away, and Arthur himself was extremely agile and instantly retreated to a relatively safe distance.

Suddenly, there were several terrifying explosions in the grass, and the stunned thieves hiding in the grass exploded like human bodies, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere!

"What the hell ......!" exclaimed Arthur. It was also the first time he had seen such an unreasonable thing. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to dodge in time, and fortunately, the explosion was actually not as powerful and range as imagined, otherwise Arthur and the others would definitely be implicated in this terrible corpse explosion and be seriously injured!

Said it was a corpse explosion...... Not right either. Arthur didn't kill anyone, those thieves were obviously just knocked unconscious, why did they suddenly blow up?!

The thieves were cursed. The next second, Arthur came to this conclusion. I am afraid that one of the leaders of the thieves is proficient in some kind of evil spell or necromancy, and secretly casts a spell on their members. When the thieves of the [Bone Pickers] are defeated to the point where they can no longer move, whether they live or die, the spells in their bodies will be activated, causing this terrifying corpse explosion. It's a wicked spell!

No, now is not the time to care about this kind of thing. The thieves, who were supposed to have been torn apart in the explosion, turned into scarlet skeletons with blood on them, and slowly crawled out of the grass. This thing is no longer as simple as "four skeletons", because the thieves are piled up and exploded, and when they explode, the corpses are also scattered and scattered, and when some evil necromancy awakens their ghouls, these scattered bones are put together by themselves, and become a skeleton giant with four skulls, eight arms and two legs, and a very strange appearance!

Is that okay? This is the first time I've seen anything like this. Arthur frowned.

"Wow wow wow wow oh, monster!" Verne was just a little ghost after all, and when he saw such an exciting and terrifying thing, he hurriedly screamed in fright. But Bediwell had already run far away with the boy in his arms, at least not to hurt Verne or prevent Arthur from fighting.

"Tsk. There was no way, Arthur looked at the fierce scarlet skeleton giant in front of him, and knew that he would not be able to repel such an opponent without showing his true skills. He instantly pulled the holy sword out of its sheath, and the milky white light of the Seraphic Holy Sword immediately shone through the forest.

The scarlet skeletal giant had no weapon in its hands, but swung its claws of white bones and grabbed at Arthur. Arthur slashed the skeleton's arm with a backhand. I'm sorry, although this monster is a large necromantic monster composed of multiple corpses, but Arthur is holding the Seraphic Holy Sword that specializes in demons and necromancy, and it is certainly more than enough to deal with this kind of strange guy. He didn't even intend to give his opponent a chance to react, he rushed forward and continued to swing five or six swords in a row, each sword slashing fiercely and swiftly at the body of the big skeleton, each sword was precise and in place, "*" this skeleton monster, cutting off the remnants of its arm!

Of course, Arthur knew that this skeleton was a necronomic made by piecing together the fragments of human bones, and it was able to put the fragments of human bones together, proving that there was some kind of power to suck the bones through and assemble them. Arthur, of course, would not give it a chance to reassemble it, but before the monster could fight back, he rushed to its chest, raised his lightsaber and plunged into its chest that had been patched together and tightly guarded by countless ribs!

It looks like it's stuck in something, and it feels like it's hit. There should be some kind of core in this, controlling the bones to form the skeleton giant. Knowing this, Arthur picked up the scabbard of the holy sword and poked it into the monster's chest, instantly activating the [Spellbreaker]!

With a strong photon explosion, milky white holy light poured out from the scabbard of the holy sword, blasting the skeleton's chest to pieces, and at the same time impacting what could be called the core of that guy's body!

This monster was manipulated by the core and changed into this form, and the principle was actually similar to that of the golem, so the effect of [Spellbreaker] was also quite obvious, it destroyed the core of the control in the skeleton giant's body in an instant! Arthur could faintly see a pitch-black thing dissipating in the bright light, and at the same time as the black flame-like object dissipated, the skeleton giant also began to collapse.

The ghouls with blood on them began to scatter all over the ground, and Arthur also had a lot of them on him, and the feeling was inexplicably disgusting.

"Whew. The Knight King withdrew his sword and took a few steps back to continue observing his opponent, only to breathe a sigh of relief when he confirmed that the bones in front of him were just a pile of meaningless and immobile bones.

"Wow, wow, wow, what have you done!" Verne leaned over and said, "Take that monster...... Solved?"

"Well, that's a small point. Arthur turned his head and glanced at the child, "I wasn't scared to pee, and my mental quality is good, little ghost." ＂

"Don't look at me like this, I'm pretty bold too. Verne stuck out his tongue and said, "So what kind of monster is this? Necromancy?"

"Let's talk about it in detail," Arthur put away his sword and wiped the blood from his face, "The explosion just now is gorgeous enough, I'm afraid it has already alarmed the bandits." It's time to retreat, before they send someone over to surround it!"
