Volume 1: Aquaman's Sigh Chapter 35: The Legion of Bones (Part II)
"What a face-saving guy...... Jenora retracted the gaze that fell on Veges, and drew a series of brilliant sword rays around him, the sword light swelled and tore apart, and all the bones along the way were shattered, and he attacked calmly and orderly, while secretly thinking to himself, "These skeletons are actually useless except for their amazing strength, fragile defense, Slow action is not a cause for concern, and even the sudden burst of a fatal blow is far from a threat to us...... However, the only problem is that these creatures can quickly repair themselves, no matter how badly injured, and even if they are injured and broken, they can be assembled again in the shortest possible time...... It's an endless battle......"
Although everyone unreservedly played the most powerful attack, it was inevitable that the Legion of Bones still surrounded it more and more densely. They surged forward on the shattered bodies of their companions, their mouths full of sharp teeth open hollowly, not knowing whether they were screaming or wailing, but there was not the slightest fear or hesitation in their steps, and they swooped forward one after another in the sharp blades of the gods of death and turned into wreckage......
"Damn! these monsters are endless......" Arya's face gradually became a little tired under the continuous attack, and the bones under her feet were accumulating more and more, and what made people's scalps even more numb, those bones were still slowly wriggling, trying to return to their original appearance, "Captain!! we need to break out of their encirclement quickly, or it will be dangerous......"
"Indeed, not to mention that these skeletons are immortal at all, even if you can kill them, you don't know when you will be killed......" Angela has turned over and sat on Amen's broad shoulders, with Amen's tall body, she can clearly see the army of bones still surging at the end of the hazy vision, the number is unimaginable, as if dense ants smell the smell of food and frantically pour out of the nest in the ground.
"Arya, you cover me, give me a little time to prepare, and I'll break up their attack!" Eisen jumped back from the ground, and at the same time, countless sharp and cold ice cubes around him roared forward, and the bones that came in like a tide were forced back alive, "and then take the opportunity to escape from their encirclement; Angela, you always keep an eye on the changes in your soul power in the forest, and tell me if there is the slightest abnormality, and everyone must always keep a line, take care of each other, and don't be separated!" ”
"Yes!" everyone said in unison.
Arya leaped forward and brushed past Ethan who was retreating sharply, she urged more soul power to increase her speed by another level, and at the same time, she continued to pull out dagger-like black short blades from the ribbon tied to the outside of her thighs and threw them, countless whirling and flying blades drew elegant and beautiful death arcs in the air, Arya's figure shuttled between those staggered arcs, controlling countless black short blades to slash all the bones within her range according to her own commands......
At this moment, Eisen was half-squatting on the ground with a solemn face, his hand lightly touched the black soil, and the huge and powerful soul power was wantonly drumming in his body, gradually converging towards the palm of his hand...... At the same time, the rapidly dropping temperature around him gradually caused a layer of mist to rise in the air, and a small "click" sound gradually spread outward from under his palm, and a biting chill enveloped him in an instant......
"Quick, get back to the captain's side!" Feeling the frenzied chill around her, Arya quickly retracted all the fierce attacks, shivered coldly, and swept back lightly, leaping towards Eisen's side.
In Arya's rapid exclamation, everyone also stopped attacking in an instant, and hurriedly retreated to Eisen's side!
"The Ice Fields Are Gone!"
After everyone landed, Eisen's low roar suddenly sounded, a sharp and cold light flashed in his raised eyes, and the violent soul power surged out at this moment, like a sharply compressed ultimate storm suddenly released......
"This ...... This is?" Wren's whole body was trembling slightly, and he was obviously beginning to lose his breath at close range under such a violent and pure huge soul power, as if the whole person had fallen into the cold deep sea all at once, surrounded by crazy black currents, wantonly pouring into his nose, pouring into his lungs, oppressing his gradually cold body, and the biting chill instantly filled his warm chest.
"The ability of the captain...... Manipulating the water elemental on a large scale!" Arya's face was unusually calm, as if she had experienced such a scene more than once or twice, and her calm eyes reflected dense ice cubes frantically breaking out from under the ground, spreading rapidly along the thick darkness around her. The jagged, sharp, and slender ice cubes were like silver-white spears piercing the earth, easily piercing through all the bones and plants in their path, and the violent cold snaps around them wantonly devoured the ice and sealed everything, and the bones that had not had time to struggle were firmly frozen in the crystal clear ice crystals, and the cavernous mouth was full of sharp teeth, and the silent horror gradually seeped out from the frozen expression......
The sounds of fights, explosions, and the cracking of bones that had filled the air a few moments ago fell silent in an instant, and the vast silence once again dominated the eerie forest. However, unlike before, the huge ice crystals silently enveloped the area that shook gently in the dim light, and the ice cubes that intertwined like sharp swords and spears silently pierced the air, resolutely piercing into the viscous and turbulent dark depths, and the dense bones were solidified in the crystal clear ice crystals, and their terrible screams seemed to silently echo through the thick ice crystals in the dark forest......
At this moment, the terrifying scene like hell seemed to be imprisoned eternally in the cracks of time......
"Let's go! we need to get out of here as soon as possible!" Eisen reminded in a low voice.
Wren came back from his shock in a trance, and followed his companions who had already jumped onto the jagged ice crystals and walked into the dark depths of the unknown......
Eisen Troxyi, what kind of incredible ability does this young major general of the empire have? No one had an answer, but the few people running wild in the silent black forest at this moment could easily feel how terrifying and domineering that incredible power was...... The air was still filled with a cold current that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and even a small amount of floating crushed ice could be seen refracting brilliant brilliance in the dim light of the fire, and the thick trunks of the trees were wrapped in strong ice crystals, all the way to the canopy of the trees that were submerged at the end of the darkness......
Of course, what shocked everyone even more was the bones that had been solidified by the ice under their feet, densely maintaining a running posture, towards where they were originally located......
"This ...... How many of these bones are there in the Forest of Silence?" Arya shuddered as she ran, whether it was because of the vain drop in temperature, or the monstrous bones that still frantically poured into sight in the frozen ice crystals.
"These may be the survey teams or greedy mercenaries who tried to break through this forest of dead silence in the long years of nearly 10,000 years, right?" Jenora's cold face was also slightly moved, "It's just that they didn't expect that the ending would be so miserable, even if the bones turned into cold after death are still dominated by some kind of power in this forbidden land, constantly becoming the life-saving talisman of the successor, forever imprisoned in this forbidden land, without rest!"
"However, I have never been able to understand what kind of force dominates such a large number of bones, and I don't feel any flow of soul energy, as if these bones have a consciousness of their own?"
"This is a power that violates the principles of the wizarding world!" Eisen looked at the darkness in front of him, and his voice was faintly sluggish, "That's the power that belongs to the gods!"
"What the captain means is that the mastermind behind the manipulation of these bones is...... God?" Arya closed her mouth in surprise.
"Do you prefer to believe that they are acting on their own consciousness?" Eisen asked rhetorically, turning his head to look at Arya with a shocked face.
"That'...... Doesn't it mean that God is preventing us from entering the mountains?...... what we have to deal with" Arya really didn't know how to express her messy thoughts at the moment, she just felt the dark air around her getting colder and colder, as if somewhere in the darkness, the Grim Reaper, who had been silently watching her for a long time, finally slowly drew his scythe......
"No, I don't know if there is a god in this world. But what I do know is that all the weirdness in this dead forest is definitely artificial......" Eisen said, "and the power that is far above us, even beyond our limits, is he not a god to us?"
"But what was his purpose in doing that, and since his Legion of Bones couldn't stop us, what was his next move?" Angela was also clearly confused.
"The Forest of Silence has existed for 10,000 years, and it can be known from the records of ancient books that when humans discovered the Eldas Mountains, the Forest of Silence already existed, and the Forest of Silence at that time seemed to be an insurmountable chasm in front of the mountains, it is conceivable that the people who set this trap were to prevent any living beings from approaching this mountain range, of course, like the Forest of Death, the people who set these traps naturally lived 10,000 years ago, maybe it was a more distant past, even the gods should have already perished...... It's just that his power is so strong that it still lives in this forest......" Eisen speculated in a low voice, his eyes flickering, "and besides, the most terrifying part of this forest is not actually the ...... of the Legion of Bones"
"Yes, getting lost is the real despair of this forest!" Jenora gently jumped down from the high ice crystals, and finally left the range of Eisen's "Ice Field Silence", the black forest in front of them was as silent and deep as when they first entered, there was no trace of bones, and there was no trace of the forest, and there was no trace of the forest, only endless darkness was surging in the vastness, endlessly. Even if your soul and physical strength are endless, strong enough to fight against the endless army of bones, in the end, you can only get lost in this dark world and fall silently, and then turn into an inconspicuous part of the army of bones, this is the true origin of the name of the Forest of Death!"
