Chapter 10: Skeletron II
The millennium skeletons around me surrounded me, and I, Shinjuku, ripped my clothes and pulled out the contraction bow from my sternum.
There are still sixteen arrows in the sternum, and a knife at the waist, but...
I'm sure I'm not afraid of a thousand-year-old skeleton, but a thousand skeletons do...
Although many results were calculated, none of them were good, and it was difficult for me to escape.
I shot some skeletons first, but the group of skeletons got closer and closer to me, and finally came to a distance of less than a meter.
I jumped straight onto the nearest skull, then stepped on the other skull and kept running.
Skeletons kept sticking out their bony hands to grab me, but I dodged them in time.
It's just that my dodge wasn't fast enough, and soon a skeleton grabbed me at my feet. I quickly took out my knife and slashed.
In the end, although it was cut off, it was also pulled down by the hordes of skeletons and suppressed.
At least they're just crushing me...
Wait! Why did they just press me down and not attack me? I suddenly thought of something, and stopped resisting.
Soon the skeletons were lifted from my skeleton, and I saw a nine-foot (three-meter) silver-white skeleton walking towards me.
"Skeletron! is still at the level of 40,000 years!".
I stood up, now only two meters tall, just a little below the Skeletron's sternum.
Skeletron walked up to me, and immediately after that, I received a signal of consciousness, which was translated as: Do you want to work for me?
I don't want to work for anyone, though, it's just... I feel like I can get a lot of money out of it, and it's okay to do it first.
I sent it a conscious signal of agreement.
Then it didn't send any consciousness signals to me, and left with its army of skeletons, and as for me, I had to follow it.
I then walked for two days before I finally reached its destination.
Skeletron is conscious, but has no memory, but it has a strong ability to think, and as long as it can keep thinking about something, it can always remember it, and if it suddenly doesn't want to, it will forget.
As for my special situation, the necklace I wear should be an excellent thing similar to a memory fragment, which can maintain my memory forever, and I can't even forget it.
That's where I have the advantage over other conscious skeletons, I can remember everyone, know how dangerous everyone is, know which weapons are powerful. It's just that I have a lot of troubles like this, and I can't forget about it if I don't want to, like a conscious skeleton.
The destination was a city, and I followed Skeletron to the castle in the city, and the skeletons ran towards the houses, each with their own house to go to.
It is estimated that these skeletons were inhabitants of this place tens of thousands of years ago, and everyone was alive and well at that time, each doing their own thing.
I'll have to name that Skeletron first, let's call it Skeletron II!
Skeletron's castle is big enough, and it will arrange a room for me and do its own thing.
My room is pretty good except for the dust on the floor.
It's very well equipped, but it's not very useful for me! like the bed, I haven't been tired since I became a skeleton (because I lost my senses).
I haven't slept yet, after all, I haven't been able to sleep with my eyes open, but I don't seem to have the idea of sleeping!
There was also a mirror in the room, and I walked over to take a look.
In the mirror, I was dressed in tattered clothes and a mask, with long, flowing blue hair hanging from the back of my head.
Gently taking off the mask, I revealed pure white eyes and a white skull in the mirror.
Then I got up and walked to the door, and just as I was about to open it, I heard the sound of the doorknob tugging.
I quickly became alert, for I didn't feel any breath, I didn't know what was behind the door.
The door was quickly opened, and I saw a woman in a green robe, about seventeen or eighteen years old, who saw me and quickly took out her crossbow and aimed it at me.
Suddenly, I quickly reached out and grabbed her crossbow and pressed the safe.
The woman's face was full of panic, and her fingers tried to press the trigger to shoot the skeleton in front of her, but she couldn't press it.
I grabbed her by the neck, and the white bones and fingers could kill her at any moment.
She was pinched and put down the crossbow, her hand trying to break my fingers, but she couldn't break it.
Her face grew paler, and finally I saw the right time to let her go.
After putting her down, she began to gasp loudly.
She is wearing a robe designed by me, which can block the vitality emanating from her body, which is equivalent to being invisible in front of ordinary skeletons. It's just that this thing is very expensive, and even the leader can only get one.
I noticed that her hand was slowly reaching for the Lingchen crossbow next to her feet, so I directly kicked the Lingchen crossbow next to her feet and smashed it.
"You!" she quickly became anxious, stood up and pointed at me.
"How can you break my stuff!".
If I hadn't seen her Hunter Badge, I wouldn't have thought she was a Hunter, didn't the Hunter class talk about skeletons and can't hear sounds!
I kicked her against the wall, took paper and pen out of my pocket, and wrote: Give me all the things you have taken from the castle, and then continue looking for them, and give them to me again.
I threw the paper to her, and she picked it up and looked at it, her face full of anger.
"Do you think I'll listen to you!".
I quickly ran in front of her and gently gestured my finger to her throat on her terrified face.
"Okay, okay, I'll go."
The woman nervously put on her robe and ran out.
Let this woman live for a little time, otherwise the rest of the days will definitely be boring.
But how long has this woman been here? If she doesn't have a storage ring or anything like that!
She should have it, and when the time comes, she will snatch the storage ring, and she can give her food, water and some daily necessities, and she can't use it herself.
Skeletron II's castle is huge, and I can walk around everywhere. Since it's a castle, there must be a lot of treasures, but it's just that woman...
Skeletron II probably won't be interested in those treasures, it doesn't have eyes if it's decorated, it can't build weapons if it's made, and it can't think of trading them. As for the woman who should have looted in this castle, I just don't know how much she looted, and whether she would not even be able to see a jewel in this castle.
The next time I see her, I'll have to ask her to bring me the looted treasure, although it seems immoral, but...
When I became a skeleton, I lost my humanity.
