Chapter 16

Boom!

Following a series of explosions, a brilliant light blade spread out, and the skeleton guard was killed. Bruce also lost his vision.

He had seen most of the scene on the altar.

There was basically no danger.

And the skeleton guard was killed because of a skeleton!

Yes.

It was the elite skeleton swordsman who had been heavily injured and entered the Valley of the Dead!

Yes.

It was the elite skeleton swordsman who had been heavily injured and entered the Death Valley!

From Bruce controlling the skeleton guard to stepping on the top of the altar to seeing the scene on the altar—everything just happened so quickly. It was also at this moment that the elite skeleton swordsman who had escaped to this place rushed to the edge of the dark altar and killed the skeleton guard with one sword.

If he had not figured out the background of the dark altar, Bruce would not have dared to go forward so easily.

However, since the skeleton guard could climb onto the altar without suffering any damage, and since the elite skeleton swordsman had escaped to the altar to heal his injuries after being heavily injured, it was enough to show that there was no danger for Bruce to step onto the altar.

The elite skeleton swordsman was originally Bruce’s hunting target.

The zombies in this canyon and this dark altar were the unexpected gains.

Bruce then ordered his subordinates to kill their way to the seventh or eighth level of the altar. The skeleton underlings that were about to step onto the altar gave up on the zombies and directly rushed onto the altar.

Bruce also leaped up and rushed towards the altar at his fastest speed!

Boom!

Bang!

Crash!

All sorts of sounds could be heard.

When Bruce rushed up the altar, his skeleton subordinates had already started fighting with the elite skeleton swordsman.

It was just as he had guessed.

There was an extremely dense and pure aura of death on the altar.

Even though most of the aura of death was bound by the runes on the altar and was circulating between the five zombies, just a portion of it, the aura of death on the altar was even denser and purer than in other places.

It was no wonder that the elite skeleton swordsman had appeared there.

However, during the time he had spent running after his opponent, the elite skeleton swordsman’s HP had already recovered to one-third of its original state.

It was several times faster than those in the outside world!

If Bruce had arrived a few hours later, he would have had to face an elite skeleton swordsman who had recovered to its peak condition.

Fortunately, he did not waste too much time on the road.

HP was the most direct response to the skeleton’s body’s condition.

One-third of its HP meant that the elite skeleton swordsman had recovered a lot, although it meant that it’s still in a weakened state. With a glance, Bruce could still see large cracks on the elite skeleton swordsman’s body.

If it was just his skeleton underlings, it would naturally be very difficult to take down this elite skeleton swordsman.

But with Bruce’s help, it would be different.

After charging up to the dark altar, Bruce took over the control of the skeleton underlings.

The two highest-level skeleton warriors and the remaining skeleton guard stepped forward and acted as meat shields in front of the elite skeleton swordsmen. The four skeleton archers retreated and drew their bows and arrows at the edge of the altar. The only skeleton assassin concealed itself and stealthily moved behind the elite skeleton swordsmen. The remaining skeleton warriors attacked freely and attracted the attention of the elite skeleton swordsmen.

That was it.

Just a simple change in formation had increased the combat strength of the skeleton underlings. The efficiency of the elite skeleton swordsman’s massacre had been greatly reduced.

At this time, Bruce himself also held the skeleton broadsword and charged towards the elite skeleton swordsman!

Detour?

There was no need!

If Bruce could not defeat this elite skeleton swordsman, who was already in a weak state, with the help of so many skeleton underlings, what right did he have to hunt for other elite skeletons?

He took a big step forward.

In just a few breaths’ time, he had arrived in front of the elite skeleton swordsman. Bruce poured all his strength into the skeleton broadsword in his hand. In mid-air, it brought out a bright light and slashed towards the elite skeleton swordsman, who was already close by.

Boom! 

A violent sound of metal colliding was heard.

The skeleton broadsword was blocked by the elite skeleton swordsman.

It blocked the most powerful skeleton broadsword, but it could not block the attacks of the other skeletons.

The skeleton archers kept drawing their bows and shooting arrows, nailing pale-white bone arrows onto the elite skeleton swordsman’s body. The weapons in the hands of the skeleton warriors kept chipping away, causing the cracks on the elite skeleton swordsman’s body to become bigger and bigger, the slender figure of the skeleton assassin appeared from behind the elite skeleton swordsman. Two short swords stabbed into the neck of the elite skeleton swordsman in an instant.

This elite skeleton swordsman had finally recovered one-third of its HP, but it had only dropped to about one-fourth.

The elite skeleton swordsman was furious.

The two-handed greatsword in his hand was raised high, as if he wanted to clear out the numerous ants surrounding him.

But at this time, the skeleton greatsword’s second attack had already arrived.

Compared to the small but uninterrupted attacks of the skeleton underlings, it was clear that the skeleton greatsword in Bruce’s hand posed a greater threat to this elite skeleton swordsman. It had no choice but to give up on eliminating the skeleton underlings. It held the sword again and blocked Bruce’s attack.

Once…

Twice…

Three times!

Accompanied by the rumbling sound of the collision of the skeleton equipment, the elite skeleton swordsman’s HP became lower.

When Bruce cut down the skeleton broadsword in his hand for the fifth time, the elite skeleton swordsman, whose HP had already reached the bottom, could no longer block Bruce’s full-powered attack.

Crash!

Under the tremendous force of the attack, the elite skeleton swordsman’s already heavily injured body could no longer withstand it and collapsed at this moment.

The tall skeleton body fell to the ground, and the skeleton broadsword in its hand also fell to the ground.

It was over.

Under the combined attack of Bruce and many skeleton underlings, this elite skeleton swordsman only lasted for more than a minute before it fell to the ground.

It did not hesitate.

Bruce went forward and grabbed the large skeleton head of the elite skeleton swordsman in his hand. His [ devour ] talent was also activated at the first moment, and he began to enslave this elite skeleton.
