Chapter 205 The Sword Cuts Out a Space Crack
"Wisdom" has always been mankind's greatest reliance for surviving in the foggy wasteland fraught with dangers.
Those fifth-level skeleton monsters wearing rattan armor were indeed very powerful. A single encounter would be enough to wipe out a large-scale hunting group. They were fast and could not escape; their rattan armor had strong defense and could not be penetrated; their attacks were not weak either... they had almost no shortcomings .
However, for Ryan's "sharp knife team", the problem is not big.
No need to run away, just beat him violently.
A skeleton is just a skeleton after all. No matter how powerful it is, it has no brains.
Although they retained some combat experience from their previous lives, after a few fights, everyone quickly figured out their moves.
After killing a few waves and getting familiar with them, the fatal flaw of the "Skeleton Monsters" was exposed, that is, they only have fighting instincts and lack the ability to think and adapt.
Whether it was fighting skills or the battle formations of the legions joining forces to fight the enemy, they were all just instincts, with a fixed range of hatred, a fixed pattern, and a fixed routine...
For this group of high-level transcendents, they would no longer be a threat if they found a little pattern.
What’s more, there are three legends in the lead.
Subsequent battles became smoother and more efficient.
At first, it took several minutes to kill a wave of skeleton monsters, but later it was as easy as cutting wheat, and a wave of skeleton soldiers could be killed in an instant.
Originally, with a group of max-level characters coming to explore the new area, this map shouldn't be difficult at all.
The only accident was those archer skeletons.
The archers' perception range is much longer, and the key is that their arrows have a longer range than their perception. When the assassin enters their perception range and wants to escape, no matter how agile he is, he cannot avoid the scattering of the rain of arrows.
The high-level thief who lured the monster was not paying attention and was shot into a hedgehog by a rain of black rockets.
Fortunately, Ryan and High Priest Coleman's [Divine Healing Technique] provided enough healing, otherwise there would probably be the first death in this land reclamation.
However, the melee ability of the Archer Skeleton is much weaker than that of the Melee Skeleton.
The final solution was for Grandpa Tust's mecha to stand in the front, while a group of Coleman warriors wearing "Talisman Armor" rushed forward and swung their weapons around.
Then I also harvested a bunch of rune longbows.
It is also a "legendary" weapon that does not have a bowstring and relies on condensed fighting spirit to be launched.
It just so happened that the Coleman warriors were good at volley shooting. Before, they used simple hardwood bows, and each of them could shoot with the power of a musket. With these rune alchemy bows, they were even more powerful.
Ryan even speculated that those "rattan armor soldiers" were actually the ancestors of the Coleman tribe.
…
Elder Yimuyu's bugs have confirmed that there are only more than two thousand skeleton monsters in the temple.
They lured dozens or even hundreds of them in one wave, and after killing twenty or thirty waves, they almost cleared out all the skeleton monsters outside the temple.
Finally, there were about two hundred people in the temple who could no longer be dispersed and lured out, so everyone decided to launch a general attack.
But to be on the safe side, Ryan and several medical extraordinary people whose combat power was not very strong did not go with them, but waited far away outside the valley.
Judging from the previous battle situation, two hundred skeleton soldiers are probably not enough to be defeated by Ymir and his eighty men.
Soon, crackling sounds of fighting were heard in the fog deep in the canyon. It seemed that Ymir and the others had rushed into the temple and engaged in a fight with the skeleton monsters.
…
"According to the current progress, we will probably hear the news that the battle is over in a few minutes."
Ryan muttered something and looked at the drizzle falling from the sky. The sound of the rain hit his face with a crackling sound, like a cold knife scraping his bones, making his blood stagnate.
He exhaled a breath of white air and rubbed his hands, "Huh... I don't know where this cold air comes from, it's a bit weird..."
He felt that this journey to explore new land was a bit like playing games and killing monsters in the wild in his previous life.
These monsters have a certain hatred perception range and a fixed attack mode, with no room for flexibility.
There is no need to call for helpers and defeat them one by one without any pressure.
I was a novice with a small account, and was led by a group of max-level masters. I just played a supporting role the whole time, occasionally providing some healing, and had no sense of participation at all.
Now it seems that the overall situation has been determined and there is nothing to worry about.
Moreover, today's harvest was great. With these two thousand sets of legendary [Rattan Rune Armor], we could instantly build a "Rune Armor Army". Not to mention being as invincible as the legendary Black Emperor's army, at least with this set of equipment, being invincible in the two empires of Theed and Omar is still a piece of cake.
Just when Ryan thought that the clearing of the temple was a foregone conclusion, suddenly, an accident happened!
After killing monsters, I finally got the Boss!
…
Suddenly, a chill came over me.
Ryan felt as if he had suddenly fallen into an ice hole, and felt cold all over.
This strange chill made him realize instantly: something happened!
At that moment, before he could think about anything, a strong wave erupted from the depths of the fog in the valley.
There was a loud bang as a cannon exploded.
In the blink of an eye, a figure flew out from the black fog in the valley.
Upon closer inspection, it was the [Magic Swordsman] Rhine Root wearing full body armor!
With a dull thud, he fell heavily to the ground. He plowed a deep ditch several dozen meters long on the frozen ground before stopping. He landed not far from several medical extraordinary people in Ryan.
Several people rushed over to take a look. He looked like a popsicle, with frost as thick as a finger on his exposed skin.
Ryan was shocked: "Who hurt him?"
Although the armor on Rhine is not legendary equipment, it is also an excellent armor with high-level enchantments.
But at this moment, he actually saw a deep gap on the chest of the armor, which went straight through the armor, revealing the flesh and blood inside.
Ryan hurried over and quickly sutured his wound with a thread, and at the same time asked anxiously: "Captain Rhine, what happened?!"
“Puff~”
Rhine was about to speak when he felt a fishy and hot sensation in his throat and spat out a mouthful of turbid blood.
After vomiting blood, he finally came to his senses.
After a pause, he looked towards the foggy valley and said solemnly, "Be careful, there is a 'legendary' skeleton monster in the temple!"
When Ryan heard this, his face changed drastically.
…
At the moment when Ryan and his companions were treating Rhine's injuries, the fog in the direction of the temple suddenly shook violently again!
"not good!"
Rhine ignored his own injuries and turned over to stand in front of Ryan.
For a moment, an invisible air wave hit him heavily like half of a tsunami. Even though Rhine blocked most of the air wave for him, Ryan still felt like he was carrying an invisible mountain on his back, making it difficult for him to breathe.
What's more terrifying is that the air wave carries with it a layer of bone-chilling coldness that can freeze people's fighting spirit.
"Advanced Ice Law!"
Ryan was shocked and quickly used the [Divine Healing Technique] to clear the negative state in his body.
At this moment, the air wave suddenly shrank down towards the valley and exploded again.
These two shocks also dispersed the black air near the entire valley, and the view suddenly became clear.
Ryan looked closely and his pupils shrank suddenly.
Near the temple, there was Bazel who had transformed into a silver wolf, Elder Imyu who was covered in golden insect armor, Tust who was spraying fire to melt the ice on his mecha, and Ymir whose half body was covered in frost armor...
Except for these four people, almost all the other warriors were blown to the ground.
Everyone looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they all entered their full strength state!
And looking closely, in the center of the temple they surrounded, there was a skeleton holding a blue ice sword, staring at everyone present with its eye sockets that were emitting blazing black flames.
It was a skeleton that looked distinctly female.
However, unlike what I saw before, the color of this skeleton was not jade, but a light golden color. Moreover, right at the location of her chest, a large piece of blood-red crystal could be faintly seen through the vine armor.
Seeing this, Ryan exclaimed in his heart: "Divine power crystal!"
At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Being able to see the crystals of divine power inside the skeleton meant that at least this was not the corpse of a god, much less the [Black Emperor] Moises!
This is because, after the death of a legendary being, the divine power in his body that has not been completely consumed will turn into such crystals and condense again.
Obviously, this is a high-level skeleton that was once blessed by the gods with the "Crystal of Divine Power".
This skeleton would knock Rhine, who was wearing heavy armor, away at the first sight, and made him confirm that it was a "legendary skeleton". The most obvious sign was that behind the female skeleton, there was a clear shadow of a god or demon, which was the symbol of the legendary supernatural power - "Magic Solution"!
Ryan felt that he had really learned something new today. Not only could the skeleton run fast and know martial arts, but now it could even perform "magic liberation"!
Moreover, this was the most extreme pressure he had ever seen.
"Why is this skeleton's magic solution different from Bazel and the others?!"
Ryan was surprised and puzzled, as he had seen several legends enter the "magic release" state.
Whether it's Bazel, or [Black Witch] Dea Vanilla, [Yan Moss Zakaria], [Frost Moon Swordsman] Carlo Gracie...
Their "magic release" state is just a vague shadow of a god.
No demon god's shadow behind anyone was as clear as the one behind the skeleton in front of him. Not only the facial features, but also the patterns on the armor were clearly visible.
The pressure from the phantom was like the devil himself coming to the world, making people feel as if they were being watched by an indescribable terror, and they were already afraid before the battle even started.
…
After seeing the shadow of the demon behind the skeleton, Ryan finally understood what that terrifying cold air was all about.
Because the phantom of the god with a long snake tail was the thirteenth god in the "Legend of the Seventy-two Gods", the God of the Frost Law Sequence, [Ice Disaster] Petra!
Ryan didn't understand why the shadow of the demon behind the skeleton was so clear, but his combat power was the best explanation!
In the instant of contact, both sides were decisive and touched each other again.
With four against one, the skeleton raised his hand and swung four swords, breaking the situation instantly.
Another gust of cold wind blew.
The Coleman warriors were still able to stand with the help of the [Vine Armor], but the magic flame on the vine armor was already swaying and it looked like it was about to go out.
However, those high-level fighters of Oma were in even more miserable condition, with "white eyebrows" and "snowy hair". It was obvious that the cold air penetrated the fighting armor and directly invaded their bodies.
When Ryan saw this, he finally understood why Rhine, who was wearing heavy armor, was knocked away by a sword. It turned out that the skeleton was so fierce.
At this moment, the silver wolf transformed by Bazel roared throughout the valley: "If you can't bear the high-level law power condensed by this skeleton, retreat quickly! Leave this to us!"
After hearing this, everyone realized that the situation was critical.
Unable to resist the coldness of the wounded, staying near the temple would be a burden. As soon as the voice fell, except for the four people in the center, the rest of the people retreated hundreds of meters.
Bows and arrows, muskets, magic… they switched to long-range means and hit the skeleton with a crackling sound.
But the strength of the [Vine Armor] lies here. As long as the evil spirit of the skeleton is not extinguished, it will not be destroyed at all. The attacks of dozens of people did not do anything to the skeleton monster.
At this time, the skeleton monster was obviously a little disturbed. The demonic energy in its eyes suddenly surged, and the air around it slowly turned white. It was obvious that it was condensing the power of the law again.
Ymir looked at the skeleton slowly raising his arm and pointing towards the void, his face changing drastically.
She naturally saw that this was an epic skill inherited from the Omar royal family, and shouted, "【Ice Finger of Annihilation】! Everyone, take cover!"
Before he finished speaking, the skeleton raised his hand and pointed. Countless thumb-sized blue ice crystals instantly condensed in the air and floated in the air.
"Law Ice Crystal?!"
Not far away, Ryan looked at the extremely familiar "blue ice crystal" and his pupils shrank suddenly. Isn't this the one that Ymir once gave him?
One of them almost instantly killed a fourth-level vampire known as the undead, let alone these... thousands of them!
Moreover, it was obvious that the ice crystal used by this skeleton was bluer than the one used by Ymir!
It was stopped for a moment, and then instantly scattered indiscriminately in all directions like a bullet fired from a gun.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
After a short and rapid sound of breaking through the air.
Then I heard the crackling sound of rain hitting banana leaves.
Looking closely again, Bazel's body was covered with silver hair, and his fighting spirit armor had condensed to the extreme; Tust also raised a large shield to block in front of him; the insect armor of Elder Yimuyu was frozen and falling like quicksand; and in front of Ymir, a frost gate with sparkling magic patterns condensed, which was getting thicker and thicker...
Ice crystals rained down like raindrops, hitting the four people densely.
If these four people had not blocked most of the ice crystals, the Skeleton's move would probably have caused huge casualties to the "Sharp Knife Team".
The ice crystals that hit the temple exploded instantly, and the cold air instantly turned the entire valley into a crystal ice sculpture...
A few ice crystals shot out of the valley and hit the ground near Ryan and the others. The extremely cold air condensed into icebergs several meters in size in the soil in the blink of an eye.
…
The three legendary fighters plus Ymir surrounded the skeleton monster, but they didn't gain the upper hand at all. Everyone was shocked.
And after this move, the skeleton condensed a crystal clear ice sword in his hand and raised it towards the sky, as if he was about to "use a big move" again.
The next moment, the sky and the earth changed color due to the sword, and snowflakes began to float in the air within a radius of several miles.
Even the veteran legend Bazel was shocked: "Damn it! It's the pressure from the high-level laws... No, retreat quickly!"
It can make the legendary extraordinary person feel the pressure of the law. Can you imagine how terrifying the power of this sword is?
This is simply not a level of power that a fifth-order transcendent can reach!
As the sword was raised, the sky and the earth changed color, and a frosty white cyclone condensed above the canyon, like the eye of a storm, and it was getting bigger and bigger... An increasingly strong chill instantly swept through the entire temple and rushed madly towards the outside of the valley.
Basel and several other legends were still able to move, but those fifth-order transcendents who had not yet had time to evacuate the valley felt their feet stagnate, and frost covered their bodies at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even their fighting spirit was frozen in an instant.
The Law of Ice and Frost has the effect of slowing down and stiffening things. Before the sword was struck, those high-level transcendents already felt their bodies "stiffening" uncontrollably.
This is the absolute law of crushing!
This is also the reason why legends are a big step stronger than ordinary extraordinary people!
Those legendary fighters wanted to save people, but they could barely protect themselves in this cold air, and their expressions were extremely solemn.
It seemed that it was about to be cut off by a sword, causing widespread casualties.
And at this moment, an unexpected scene appeared!
The skeleton's frost sword had just been raised to the sky, and its momentum was still rising, but suddenly it stopped!
Because, where the tip of the sword was pointing, there appeared some spider-web-like black cracks.
The skeleton holding the knife seemed to sense something and tilted his head to look at the ice sword in his hand.
This picture gave people a very strange feeling, as if one could see a hint of doubt on its face that was completely fleshless.
However, the sense of crisis instinctively prevented it from bringing down the sword. As soon as it retracted the sword, the black crack that was about to get bigger and bigger suddenly closed up and disappeared.
…
Seeing this, Ymir was overjoyed and shouted, "Space crack! Sure enough, this world does not allow higher 'law power' to exist. Even if the skeleton has mastered high-level laws, it is limited to the fifth level of extraordinary!"
Bazel was also beaten to a pulp, his wolf face full of ferocity, "Tsk tsk... It's worth the trip to fight against the ancient mighty one across tens of thousands of years of time and space!"
During all these years of advancing to the legendary level, he had been surrounded by people and had fought many battles with one against many. But now he was outnumbered and suffered a loss. He had never felt so aggrieved. Moreover, he was facing a skeleton that had been dead for who knows how many tens of thousands of years!
Tust also agreed: "This kind of cold air is still within the tolerable range for my mecha."
Elder Yimuxu did not speak, but the totems on his body shone brightly and his expression remained calm.
Now that they knew that the skeleton was also restricted to the fifth level, several legendary fighters who had just been thinking of retreating instantly became eager to fight again.
As long as they don't have power beyond the fifth level, even if they can't win, they will definitely be able to protect themselves by joining forces!
Needless to say, the three legendary fighters and Ymir surrounded and killed the skeleton again.
Today, everyone is determined to kill the skeleton, get the "Crystal of Divine Power", and completely clear out the Cold Wind Temple!
…
The valley has turned into a fight between gods. Ordinary fifth-level transcendents cannot get involved and can only look for opportunities to attack from a distance.
The power of various high-level laws collided, shaking the mountains on both sides and causing large chunks of rubble to fall, just like hundreds of artillery pieces bombarding the valley in a cycle...
After discovering that the skeleton could not use power beyond the fifth level, Basel and his companions did not hold back and used all their means.
Except for Tust's six-armed mecha, which Ryan had seen twice, it was the first time he saw the other three use their full strength.
After seeing this, I finally understood how terrifying the top combat power is!
Basel, the veteran legend, didn't dare to vent his anger at full strength because he had silver needles in his body.
Now he was exerting all his strength, revealing the bloodthirstiness of the werewolf's dark blood. The more he fought, the braver he became. The more he lost, the more brutal he became. When he waved his wolf claws, although he did not tear a crack in space, he visibly distorted space. Every time he clawed, he would definitely cause a large piece of ice armor in front of the skeleton to fall off...
And Ymir's fighting power is also extremely amazing!
Although she was not a legend, she was not afraid of the skeleton because she also had extraordinary abilities in the Ice Law Sequence. Ryan did not expect that Ymir, who was usually amiable and elegant, would be so decisive and domineering in battle.
The court rapier was originally elegant and lacked some killing intent, but now she wielded it tightly, like a knight's lance. The slender fishbone sword was surrounded by sword energy, wrapped in a spiral of cold air, and the tip of the sword pointed, just like a spear stabbing. The stabbing frequency was getting faster and faster, and it was almost to the point where dense shadows were left in the field of vision... Although the ice armor around the skeleton was constantly repairing, it gradually couldn't keep up with the speed of the stabbing...
But what is most eye-opening is the methods used by "Elder Insect Master" Yimuyu!
"Mushishi" is originally a very rare profession among the mysterious supernatural beings, let alone reaching the legendary level.
Ryan had never seen the "Mushi Master" take action before, and he didn't expect him to be so evil and powerful.
At this moment, Elder Yimuxu's body was surrounded by a thick layer of tiny flying insects like golden sand, like an indestructible golden armor that directly blocked out all the cold air.
He stood there calmly, his expression was always calm. Occasionally, he would scatter a handful of black insects like sowing seeds. Although his attack was not as powerful as that of Bazel and his men, it still caused great damage to the skeleton.
The black armor flew up and bit the skeleton's protective ice armor. Although large pieces of it were frozen to the ground, they could hear the "crackling" and "crackling" sounds of gnawing, and soon they broke through the ice again. There were more and more insects, and soon the temple became a sea of black gravel. The skeleton's ice armor was obviously not able to recover and keep up with the speed of the insects' gnawing...
As for Master Tuster, he was originally a mechanical body. As long as he didn't lose in the first encounter, his six-armed battle mecha would not lose before the energy was exhausted! Moreover, his four "arc shock black knives" were also effective against ice armor, and they slowly cut into it...
Four of the top fighters from Black Dragon City besieged the legendary skeleton, and the battle quickly reached a fever pitch...
