Chapter 292 Bones

Name:Nameless King Author:Arlemit
While Wain's mates restrained the monsters, he and Frigus headed toward the enemy leader.

Inside the Dungeon was a deep funnel with many caves. Bridges of stone and bone connected the cave entrances and formed something like a web.

"Looks like Elegan and the others will have to work hard to contain them." Wain said, looking at the hundred skeletons heading toward the portal.

"They'll make it." Frigus replied, briefly looking around. He held his swords tightly and was ready to face danger at any moment.

"Okay, at least they're not paying attention to us. It looks like someone is controlling them and gave the command to attack. We should take advantage of that." Wain said and jumped down.

Frigus nodded and followed him.

The funnel was very deep and seemed endless from above, but they soon saw the bottom.

At the bottom was a vast area strewn with bones and several bloody rivers. The place looked eerie and alienating.

Wain and Frigus were immediately noticed by the monsters lurking in the shadows. Their red eyes lit up like lanterns and peered out of the darkness.

"Who's in charge here?" Wain asked coldly.

Second Chronicle monsters were strong and intelligent enough to understand speech. They couldn't talk like Frigus or Elegan, but that didn't stop Wain from making contact with them.

In response, he heard only a growl and saw a monster that looked like a wild beast emerge from the darkness. Unlike the skeletons, the monster was not made of bones. It was undead with rotting flesh.

"Roooooaaaarrrrr!" The beast roared furiously and stepped forward. The bones shattered into small shards under the beast's weight, and a blue flash appeared in front of him.

Frigus decided to act immediately. He crossed his swords and swung them in different directions. The monster jumped back at the last moment and wouldn't come any closer.

Wain was ready to use Shard of Heaven's Fall and Seal of Dark Light. Many enemies were around, and a combined attack with these items could easily kill them all.

"Freeze."

Step.

Muffled footsteps were heard, and a menacing figure emerged from the darkness. It was a skeleton in a long blue robe and a staff with a blue crystal.

"Are you Lich?" Wain asked.

"Yes, I am. Why did you come here? Tired of living?" Lich's voice was cold and creepy. His eyes, unlike those of the monsters, burned with blue fire.

"No, it's too early for me to die. We've come to negotiate or fight."

"Huh, how interesting, and what are the terms? Why shouldn't I kill you right here and now and take over your Void? You're their leader. It would be an easy win."

Lich went through Awareness. He could talk and was considerably stronger than the other monsters in the same Chronicle.

'',

"It's simple, either you join me, and we get stronger together, or I kill you all, and that's the end of our conversation."

"Huh, you seem confident, but that's not enough to impress me. If you want the strong to obey you, you have to be even stronger." Lich said coldly and swung his staff.

The monsters shuddered and moved aside, and two large skeletons in dark armor appeared from under the ground beside Lich. Their eyes also glowed blue. They were armed with massive black steel swords.

"Death Knights..." Frigus said warily and prepared for battle.

Wain frowned, the aura of the Death Knights was threatening, and he felt that the Death Knights were much stronger than them.

"You want to know how strong we are? Fine, have it your way!" Wain exclaimed, and a black and white robe and bandages appeared on him.

Wain decided to activate the first form, Code of Light and Darkness, because he wanted to lower the power of Death Knights with a special skill.

There was no point in using Cursed Swordsman or Blind Sorcerer in this situation since the execution only worked on one enemy. The vision of the future was useless against such strong opponents.

"Not bad, too bad it's not enough." The Lich spoke slowly and swung his staff.

The Death Knights dashed toward Wain and Frigus. The blue crystal on the staff glowed brightly, and several spheres of blue flame headed toward them.

Wain and Frigus jumped away from the spheres, and the Death Knights attacked them instantly. Wain parried the attack with his palm and stepped back. Frigus held a series of blows with the Death Knight. He struggled to fight back.

Even using a single sword, the Death Knight outnumbered him in both strength and speed.

Bam.

The Death Knight landed a powerful top-down blow, and Frigus blocked it crossed his swords. His hands trembled, and the bones under his feet broke. He could not withstand such pressure for long.

Whoooooooosh.

Wain waved his hand, and a massive sign appeared on the battlefield, signifying the balance between darkness and light.

Everyone in the circle became the same, and Wain felt his power grow. It was proof that the Death Knights far outnumbered them in stats.

This did not affect Lich, who succeeded in retreating and moving beyond the mark.

"Pathetic reception." Lich said coldly and swung his staff.

Out of it flew two blue projectiles that penetrated the bodies of the Death Knights, and their power began to increase.

However, they were still under the influence of the special skill of the first form, and so the sign on the ground came into motion.

Their stats changed again and became equal.

"What kind of power is that?!" Lich was puzzled. He didn't understand why his spells had no effect.

Wain answered nothing. The Ring of Damned glowed brightly, and a platinum sword appeared in his hand. Like a wild whirlwind, it attacked one of the Death Knights and began to deliver numerous blows to vulnerable places.

The Death Knight tried to defend himself, but now their strength was equal and was decided not by stats but by mastery.

Frigus also began to overwhelm his enemy. He was not a great swordsman like Forgotten, but he would not lose to the Death Knight in swordsmanship. It would be a shame for him.

Lich was panicking. He saw that Wain and Frigus were slowly winning, and they were keeping the Death Knights in the range of the special skill.

"Damn, I didn't mean to resort to such unfair tricks, but there's nothing I can do." Lich uttered and raised his staff high.

He knocked it to the ground and created a blue wave of energy. The monsters in the distance grew considerably stronger, but they had to obey Lich.

They simultaneously attacked Wain and Frigus. The monsters entered the sign area, and their stats changed, but it didn't matter now. There were too many enemies. Wain and Frigus could not handle them alone.

However, this was the move Wain had been waiting for Lich to make. He smiled and used Seal of Dark Light. Another zone of white and black flames appeared, and everyone's attack power increased significantly.

Then Wain crushed Shard of Heaven's Fall. A bright light appeared from above, and many dots came crashing down to the ground as hundreds of golden beams like a heavenly punishment.
