Chapter 19: The Fisherman's Profit
Attacked by the Stygian Fire Bomb, the Skeleton Warrior himself was not comfortable, and the violent explosion produced indirectly cracked his left bone claw, creating some cracks.
The Skeleton Warrior was furious at Layton, the soul fire in his eyes burning vigorously, and a defiant roar erupted from the soul fire.
At that moment, Layton stood on top of the mound in the wind, the wind rattling his shabby clothes, and behind him was a dense procession of skeletons.
A large group of skeleton soldiers, under Leighton's order, swarmed down, brandishing the bone knives in their hands and rushing towards the skeleton warriors.
Like a lone wolf, the skeleton warrior dragged its stump legs and roared towards the skeleton troop. The solid white bone shield was in front of him, and he swung the white bone long knife in his hand, like a battle-hardened warrior.
Second-order skeleton warriors have begun to possess simple combat skills, like instinct, which are far from being comparable to these skeleton soldiers. With every swing of the sword, a skeleton soldier falls.
The bone knife slashed through the skeleton's waist in unison, and the fragile skeleton soldier was simply vulnerable and fell to the ground. In less than a moment, a large number of skeleton warrior bones had piled up in front of him.
Layton didn't expect a seriously injured skeleton warrior to be so difficult. What he didn't know was that the strength of undead creatures was not simply one plus one. When facing a second-order skeleton soldier, a first-order skeleton soldier will be subjected to soul coercion, and its own combat power will naturally not be one in ten, so it will naturally not be able to cause effective damage.
Layton whispered the spell again, and his palm quickly condensed into a dark fire bomb and blasted it over.
The skeleton warrior felt the change of the elements in the air, and vigilantly raised the white bone shield in his hand to block it, resisting the fierce attack of the Hellfire Bullet.
The Bone Shield resembles a moving fortress in the hands of the Skeleton Warrior, tightly guarding the Skeleton Warrior. Several times in a row, the Dark Fire Bullet fired by Leighton was blocked by the white bone shield in the Skeleton Warrior's hand, and could not deal effective damage.
Seeing that he was about to fall into a stalemate, Layton knew that now he needed a moment, a moment for a skeleton warrior to defend a gap, and since he couldn't wait, he would create it himself.
The Skeleton Warrior's Soul Flame's gaze looked past the layers of Skeleton Soldier to Leighton, and roared at him. The Skeleton Soldier's Soul Fire at the front of it paused for a moment, standing still for about two or three seconds, and then swaying and trembling slightly.
"You're quite dragged, I'm going to knock you over today. The little ones, target the White Bone Shield, keep rushing for me. Layton exasperated.
With a wave of his right hand, the skeleton soldiers swarmed forward again, tightly surrounding the skeleton warriors. Chop with a knife, smash with a bone, stab with a bone claw, and use all kinds of means. Some were even beaten with only one head left, and they bit it with their teeth, which was simply useless.
Relying on the tactics of a large number of skeleton soldiers, from time to time there are one or two sneak fire bombs.
Finally, under this wave of attacks, the price of a full seventeen skeleton soldiers was paid to knock out the solid white bone shield in the hands of the skeleton warriors.
I saw the skeleton warrior in front of him, who had lost the protection of the white bone shield, still wielding the white bone long knife and struggling. Now the skeleton warrior without the white bone shield is like a living target, and one after another Hellfire bombs are shot at his body from time to time.
After continuously releasing the Dark Fire Bomb with high intensity, Layton's soul already felt a little overdrawn. At present, the Leighton first-order soul mist ball is only capable of releasing about ten dark fire bombs at a time.
Leighton endured the exhaustion of his soul, gathered the skeleton soldiers again, launched a second wave of attacks, and one by one the skeleton soldiers rushed forward without fear of death.
After about half an hour, the skeleton warrior was finally overwhelmed and crumbling, the white bone knife in his hand had long been gone, and there was still a skull hanging on his knee, swinging with the ups and downs of his legs, biting and not letting go.
The greatest advantage of undead creatures is that they don't know pain, they don't know fatigue, as long as the soul fire is not extinguished, they will always fight, and the soul fire is the best proof that they are alive.
Gusts of wind whistled across the earth, leaving a trail of devastation on the ground, the dry bones of skeleton soldiers on the ground, and the fire of broken souls spread across the ground. The Yin Wind is the catalyst for the undead in this land, blowing countless bits and pieces of soul fire into unknown places, converging into a whole soul fire, often representing the birth of a new undead creature. Right now, the fragments of the soul fire of these skeleton soldiers don't know where they are going to be blown by the yin wind.
By the time the third wave of attacks was launched, there were already about fifty or sixty skeletons left around Leighton.
The skeleton warrior on the opposite side also staggered, but still slowly stood up, the faint soul fire flickering.
Layton gasped for breath, raised his head with difficulty, straightened up, and shouted, "Rush!"
The lit fire bombs flew and whizzed past, like a signal before the start of the war. The skeletons rushed in stride, once again fighting the skeleton warriors.
It was a battle to be won, and the skeleton warriors were at the end of their power, and the scales of victory were tilting in favor of Leighton.
With the defeat of the skeleton warrior, the huge skeleton fell straight down, and the surrounding skeleton soldiers screamed, rushing up and holding down the skeleton warrior to death.
Layton looked at the fallen skeleton warrior and was excited, and stepped forward quickly in three steps and two steps, chanting, "Servitude contract!"
In the face of Leighton's enslavement contract, the skeleton warrior was powerless to resist, and the soul fire was dimmed, and the black contract rune quickly broke through the fragile soul fire defense and successfully engraved it.
Outside of Leighton's soul mist ball, there was a thick milky white soul fire, tightly surrounding the soul mist ball, squeezing the other first-order dark green soul fires into a corner, occupying a large area.
Feeding back from the soul fire of the second-order skeleton warrior, the soul mist ball began to become viscous, as if it was covered with water mist, and the volume more than doubled, so that Layton successfully broke through to become a second-order dark summoner.
The change of the soul mist bead made Layton clearly feel the substantial increase in soul power. Before casting the Dark Fireball, at most more than ten will feel the exhaustion of the soul. Now he roughly estimates that nearly 30 or so can be released at one time, more than doubled. Moreover, the fireball released was even deeper than the previous one, with a hint of brown light, which was obviously more destructive.
The Skeleton Warrior bowed his unruly head and respectfully surrendered at Layton's feet, becoming the first second-order undead creature he subdued.
Now Leighton had time to take a good look at the skeleton warrior in front of him, compared to the first-order skeleton soldier, the skeleton warrior skeleton was even larger, looking hideous and lethal.
The body was wrapped in thick white bone armor, and two sharp bone spurs protruded from his shoulders. Although it looked miserable now, the bone armor on its body was tattered, and even many bones had been cracked, but it still couldn't hide the fierce momentum on its body.
Overall, he was pleased with the skeletal warrior in front of him. Finding the lost bone shield and bone knife, the skeleton warrior took it in his hand and stood beside Layton like a huge protective shield.
Looking at the skeleton fragments all over the ground, he silently counted the battle damage in his heart, this time he lost about fifty skeleton soldiers, and about two-thirds of them had been extinguished and dissipated. The rest were basically broken bones, missing arms and legs. Fortunately, there are many severed limbs on the ground, and it can still be done by piecing them together.
In the world of the undead, the undead can repair themselves, but the speed is much slower, far less fast than finding the same and directly piecing together, after all, as long as the soul fire of the undead creatures is not extinguished, everything else is not a problem.
Layton suddenly remembered that the broken bone dog was still struggling on the side. After quickly finding it, he commanded the skeleton warriors around him to ravage the bone dog again. Seeing that the white bone dog looked like it only had air out but no air intake, the soul fire was about to be extinguished.
Layton quickly threw a "contract of servitude" into the soul fire in the skull of the Bone Dog. Soon, a clear feeling came from the soul, and there was a milky white soul fire outside the soul mist ball.
Now there is another second-order white bone dog in Leighton's undead team, and although he lost half of the skeleton soldiers in this battle, he gained two second-order undead creatures, which can be described as a complete success.
When Layton helped the Bone Dog's broken skeleton spine be connected, he was ready to continue his march into the depths of the Bone Wasteland.
At this moment, a roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth came from the east direction, and the sound shook the entire White Bone Wasteland, hanging up a terrifying hurricane, sweeping the entire wasteland, as if a terrifying existence had awakened.
