Boom!!!
A series of dense explosions echoed through the air, and a shower of charred bones rained down onto the ground.
These were the remains of the skeleton warlord.
Using the skeleton warlord's body as a shield to block the first concentrated attack from the skeleton mages, Lucas, still mid-air, unleashed his only two active skills.
Skyrend Slash!
Gale Slash!
Two completely different light blades erupted, exploding like fireworks amidst the group of skeleton mages!
That's right!
On this eighth leap, Lucas didn't charge toward the skeleton commander, who was now within striking distance. Instead, using the skeleton warlord's body as cover, he plunged into the midst of the skeleton mages.
Compared to the champion-tier skeleton commander... the dozens of skeleton mages posed a far greater threat to Lucas!
Skyrend Slash exploded.
The dazzling light blades wreaked havoc.
With Lucas's exceptionally high strength and agility attributes, this skill, originally designed to clear out mobs, now displayed devastating power.
Almost instantly, more than half of the skeleton mages were torn apart.
The remaining skeleton mages, though not killed, were temporarily incapacitated.
As for Gale Slash...
The seven light blades that erupted in an instant delivered a total of seven times the damage of a normal attack!
Under the onslaught of these seven light blades, only the first dread mage survived due to the weaker initial strikes. The other three dread mages were torn apart!
Instant kill!
The seven light blades from Gale Slash could either focus on a single target or spread out to attack multiple targets. As long as none of the seven strikes missed, the damage multiplier of Gale Slash would continue.
From the moment Lucas leaped for the eighth time to when he landed back on the ground, only a split second had passed.
But in that brief moment, the skeleton mages, the greatest threat within the skeleton horde, were crippled.
The skeleton commander... hadn't even reacted yet!
Swoosh!
With a single slash, Lucas decapitated the last dread mage before turning to face the skeleton commander.
Without the threat of the skeleton mages and dread mages, the few skeleton guards and sentinels around the skeleton commander were no longer enough to interfere with the battle between Lucas and the skeleton commander!
Roar!!!
An intangible soul wave spread out.
Enraged by the destruction of its skeleton mages, the skeleton commander let out a furious roar.
With a command, the skeleton guards and sentinels around it charged toward Lucas, while the skeleton commander itself, wielding a bone sword and shield, advanced to attack.
For a high-tier skeleton like the skeleton commander, which had reached the champion tier, being infiltrated by a mere elite-tier ant and having its skeleton mage corps crippled single-handedly was a tremendous humiliation.
This humiliation could only be cleansed with the enemy's soul fire!
A distance of over ten meters wasn't far.
Even for skeleton guards and sentinels, which focused on constitution, they could cover that distance in a short time.
However,
As the skeleton guards and sentinels charged forward, Lucas leaped into the air once more—directly over them and the skeleton commander, landing behind it!
"Gale Slash!"
Gale Slash, unleashed for the second time!
Crimson light blades erupted, slicing into the skeleton commander like sharp blades.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
When the target was the dread mages, their fragile constitutions couldn't withstand the strikes of Gale Slash, and they were instantly killed, making it hard to gauge the skill's true power.
But when the target was the skeleton commander, the true might of this level 5 attack skill was revealed.
Instant burst!
Seven light blades!
As these seven light blades struck the skeleton commander, accompanied by a series of sharp, piercing sounds, bone dust scattered, and deep gashes appeared on the skeleton commander's body!
The first three light blades, being the weakest, were blocked by the rusted armor on the skeleton commander's body, leaving only shallow marks.
The fourth light blade shattered the rusted armor, cutting directly into the skeleton commander's skeletal frame.
The remaining three light blades carved deep wounds into the skeleton commander's body! The deepest of these nearly severed its spine, cutting through two ribs!
Gale Slash truly lived up to its reputation as an ultimate skill.
If it could be upgraded to level 8 or even level 10... it might be enough to instantly kill the skeleton commander!
Roar!
The skeleton commander roared again.
Severely wounded, it turned around, its bone sword swinging with immense force toward Lucas! It was beginning to understand how this strange elite-tier skeleton had managed to annihilate eight skeleton legions in such a short time.
If even it couldn't withstand a single strike from this strange skeleton, how could the elite-tier skeleton warlords under its command hope to survive?
Clang!
A deafening metallic clash erupted.
The tremendous force from the bone sword sent Lucas stumbling back several steps, leaving deep footprints in the ground.
The skeleton commander's strength surpassed his.
However, four-dimensional attributes were never the sole measure of combat power.
As the skeleton commander, along with the skeleton guards and sentinels that had now turned around, charged toward him, Lucas swung his bone glaive with all his might!
Crash!
Three skeleton guards were torn apart.
Two skeleton sentinels were sent flying by the sheer force.
Facing the skeleton commander head-on once more, Lucas didn't hesitate. He unleashed Gale Slash for the third time!
Seven light blades erupted.
Under Lucas's precise control, these seven light blades targeted the same spot on the skeleton commander that had been injured earlier!
The seven light blades struck in rapid succession.
They slammed into the skeleton commander's body.
When the skill's effect ended, the skeleton commander was cleaved in half! Its lower half remained standing, while its upper half, no longer supported, toppled to the ground.
The skeleton commander wasn't dead yet.
Its intact upper half still retained considerable combat power.
Having already severed it at the waist, Lucas wasn't about to let the skeleton commander reclaim its lower half and regain its fighting strength.
As the skeleton commander's upper half fell to the ground, Lucas stepped forward, closing the distance.
The moment the skeleton commander's upper half hit the ground, the cold, gleaming bone glaive descended, piercing through its eye socket and into its skull!
The soul fire flickered.
Then dimmed and extinguished.
The information on Lucas's status panel refreshed accordingly.
Hey guys, sorry I was sick yesterday and took a break. I'll try to update as soon as possible.
