Chapter 202 True King-Level Skeleton Angel! A Terrifying Disciple! The Aging Libra (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Tick tock!
The rain was still falling, landing on the white bones and splashing out tiny droplets.
Like a mirror, it reflected the astonishment on everyone's faces!
"How is this possible..." The butcher's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he could only swallow his saliva repeatedly to calm himself down.
He never expected that... An Hai, whom they had ignored and treated like a puppet, would actually succeed in backstabbing the Ninth Finger!
Fanlu's eyes widened. If she hadn't been able to feel the rhythm in her abdomen, she would have almost thought she was being deceived by an illusion!
Just how many tricks is this disciple hiding?
The mask with the eighth finger "Ж" pattern flickered with a faint red light and fell silent.
She never expected that her disciples weren't joking, but were actually coming to claim the spoils of victory!
And he did it right in front of them!
"What happened?"
Situ Kong narrowed his eyes, suddenly feeling that things had gone beyond his expectations. He never expected that his disciple, who had always been on the fringes and held the sixth position, would actually betray him...
Oh no, you can't call it betrayal!
It should be said that... he was the biggest schemer, waiting for the right opportunity, and then using what the Ninth Finger created to counter him!
This tactic is somewhat similar to that of the blond guy from a certain secret realm, but their strengths are on completely different levels.
But overall it's a good thing!
"this……"
The special department staff were also stunned, never expecting things to take this turn!
The disciple who had been slacking off all along
It was actually the final boss?
"..."
As for the Ninth Finger, who was 100% involved, he lowered his head, looking at the long sword piercing his chest. Blood seeped out, but was swallowed by the sword before it could drip down.
After continuously drinking powerful psychic blood, the black sword gradually shed its black outer shell, transforming into a bizarre bone sword shaped like a spine.
Behind him, An Hai gripped the hilt of his sword, the white bone cross in his pupils unfolding. Although his appearance was the same as before, his temperament had undergone a complete transformation.
An Hai, in the past, was actually a microcosm of ordinary people in a great era. He was optimistic and content with his fate, but his personality was filled with confusion and hesitation about the unknown future. He was afraid of the unknown, but he was also kind and resilient. Under the tide of the times, he grew as tenaciously as a weed!
He devoted himself to the child without expecting anything in return, and was even willing to sacrifice himself after An Mo was threatened.
Father's love is as solid as a mountain!
But now... all the mortal qualities he once possessed have vanished, and his eyes are filled only with a peace and indifference that has transcended the long years!
Like a figure standing at the top of all things, looking down upon all things...
Angel!
In response to his disciple's thanks, he nodded slightly, activated the bone sword in his hand, and numerous crooked and strange skeletal runes spread from the sword, flowing into the body of the Ninth Finger. He then earnestly said:
"I should be thanking you, Mr. Door!"
His words were calm, but they came from the heart!
Things wouldn't have gone so smoothly if the disciple hadn't drawn Ninth Finger's attention!
In fact, after that first glance, Lu Yu not only recognized An Hai's identity, but also noticed that the other man looked shocked, as if he had seen an acquaintance.
However, An Hai's expression soon became confused as he murmured about the past, with one word frequently appearing—boots!
Others might not understand, and even if they heard it, they would only think that An Hai, as a shoemaker, was reminiscing about the past, but Lu Yu understood what the other person meant.
The two first met because of repairing combat boots.
That's why he was even more surprised!
You should know that the hidden power you possess comes from the legendary skill of the mouse—[Destiny's Protection], which has the ability to shield you from all exploration below the level of kings!
However, An Hai recognized him, but if he were a king, he wouldn't have fallen to this state.
Just wipe out the powerful enemy with one slap!
Taking into account factors such as the Eye of the Dead, the location of the temple ruins near Dayuan City, the unexpected disappearance of the Skeleton Angel's soul, and An Hai's inability to awaken his Beast Taming Space...
Lu Yu quickly came to the answer!
Anhai is the Skeleton Angel!
Moreover, they are angels of true king level, retaining a trace of their status!
Although it's exaggerated, it's the only truth!
Lu Yu didn't expect this either...
The guy with the Ninth Finger hired people to act in this big show, but ended up bringing back the real person!
Playing yourself!
"This is...so much fun!"
Lu Yu's lips curled up slightly. He was still thinking about how to break the deadlock when he suddenly had an answer. So, during the Ninth Finger Battle, he used the little mouse to turn into a skeleton and use its shielding properties to secretly exchange information with An Hai.
I learned that An Hai regained his memories after entering the underworld, but due to reincarnation, he lost most of his power and the angelic armor he made with his core spine in his previous life.
Therefore, we can only endure and wait for the opportunity to rescue An Mo!
"Angel Armed Forces?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's expression turned somewhat strange. His first thought was of the black sword he had obtained from the Hidden Corpse Emperor's Temple!
It provides a damage bonus to life-type pets; Little Spider used it to cut off the Green Dragon's horn.
But apart from that, he doesn't have many other abilities!
Lu Yu also tried it, but it had no effect on other attributes. In terms of appearance, it was just a common standard longsword on the market. Its biggest advantage was its hardness!
But for the little spider, it's more convenient to use the Shadow Sword or the Ant King's Star Shattering Sword instead of the two rat clone souls, so most of the time it just sits in the Void Chest collecting dust!
As expected...
This must be the weapon exclusive to the Skeleton Angel!
Aside from the Skeleton Angel, it's useless for anyone else to use; at most, it can be used to break through the defenses of life-type monsters!
Therefore, Lu Yu made use of him and told An Hai the detailed plan. When he climbed the Bone Mountain and kicked An Hai away, he sent the hidden black sword into An Hai's arms, helping him recover some of his strength.
And that's how we ended up in this situation!
Anhai's stab couldn't pierce the ninth finger.
But the Skeleton Angel can!
"Classics never go out of style!"
The disciple put on his felt hat and smiled at the Ninth Finger:
"Are you satisfied with this iconic scene of betrayal?"
He'd been fed up with these Faceless Brotherhood guys for a long time. They were always causing trouble, acting like they had it all figured out. Now it was his turn to deal with them!
Do you like to laugh?
Then let's see you smile again!
Splash!
Whether the Ninth Finger was happy or not, no one knew, but thunderous applause rang out from within the phantom of the Faceless Opera House.
The scarlet curtain has been completely drawn back!
For the audience, they don't care who the performers are, or whether the original performers will sacrifice themselves; they are pure...
I just want to see an interesting play!
To put it simply:
[I'm bored, I want to see rivers of blood!]
Although the seats in this mysterious opera house were empty, Lu Yu could clearly feel that more and more eyes were falling on him, including some that made his soul tremble!
They are at least giants, or even higher!
They are looking at this place through the faceless opera house, across endless space!
"A faceless god? Or its incarnation or retinue?"
Lu Yu had a thought that flashed through his mind, but he didn't think about it deeply. He was too lazy to pay attention to these guys who only watched and didn't give any rewards, and he had no interest in continuing to please them.
Unless you become the top three on the leaderboard, you can join the group to see more exciting content...
"Hehehe! Interesting! So interesting!"
The Ninth Finger trembled slightly and slowly raised its head, the red light on the three-lobed eye mask flashing even brighter.
Although he was smiling, there was no real joy in his smile!
Because he became the clown in someone else's drama!
For an actor who wants to perform in a grand drama, this is nothing short of the greatest insult!
boom!
In an instant, dark psychic energy gathered and swirled around Ninth Finger!
The disciple, leaning on his scepter, said calmly:
"Mr. Skeleton Angel, send him on his way!"
"The Mark of the Underworld!"
The skeletal angel An Hai made his move, his bone sword gleaming. A large number of mysterious, dark, pale magic arrays appeared around him, converging to form a desolate underworld. From this, dozens of giant skeletal hands emerged and reached for the Ninth Finger!
"Hahahaha..."
The Ninth Finger was still laughing when it tilted its head back. The three-lobed eye mask split in two from the center, slowly cracking open to reveal a dark slit. The next moment...
boom!
A gigantic dark tentacle emerged from the gap in the mask, easily crushing all the skeletal hands, turning them into dust that fell from the sky.
The Ninth Finger stood on the ground, his face covered by dark tentacles. With each swing, it was like a mountain collapsing, with unparalleled power, as he attacked An Hai behind him!
"You guys are still as difficult to deal with as ever!"
An Hai sighed and decisively drew upon the power of the bone mountain condensed from the body of the Skeleton Angel and poured it into himself. Three pairs of crystal-clear bone wings suddenly unfolded behind him, giving him a more sacred appearance!
His aura suddenly surged, instantly reaching the Radiant Moon stage. He easily suppressed this surge of immense spiritual power!
An Hai extended his left hand, and the flesh and blood attached to it quickly receded, revealing slender white bones. He pressed down on the air.
"Skull King Gun!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Behind An Hai, hundreds of magic arrays simultaneously unfolded, and bone spears powerful enough to slay dragons appeared, constantly overlapping and converging to form a small mountain of bone spears, which then attacked the dark tentacles!
boom!
The moment the two collided, a terrifying surge of psionic energy erupted, shaking the heavens and creating a giant crater in the dark clouds!
The two were also shaken apart, increasing the distance between them!
"The drama is still ongoing, and the final outcome is yet to be determined!"
The Ninth Finger stepped into the void, steadied himself, and calmly spoke. The huge dark tentacles burrowed back into his face, the mask closed again, and an irregular writhing motion appeared within his body.
Just seeing this scene is enough to send chills down your spine; it's impossible to imagine what he really looks like.
Chi Chi!
At the massive wound piercing his heart, numerous black buds began to grow at a visible rate, wriggling like worms, opening their enormous mouths, tearing at each other, connecting together, and forcefully pulling them shut.
In the end, it just turned out to be an extra scar.
"This guy is definitely not human!" Lu Yu narrowed his eyes upon seeing this.
The Soul-Stealing Demon Cloud was not a contracted beast, but was controlled by him in other ways!
However, as soon as the ninth finger took a step, with a "plop," the scar tore open again, from which bone spurs grew, colliding with and eroding each other with the dark psionic energy.
The damage originating from the Angel's Spine Sword cannot be completely removed even by the Ninth Finger!
The kind-hearted Mr. Men reminded me, "As you get older, you need to take care of your health. If you injure a bone or muscle, it's best to rest at home for a hundred days!"
The Ninth Finger remained silent, glancing at the Eighth Finger in the distance, and said calmly:
"Kill them!"
"No problem!" Eighth Finger chuckled, just about to order the Void Ghost Mask to make a move, when suddenly a lightning spear pierced through and exploded instantly!
Unfortunately, it missed. The Void Ghost leaped a hundred meters through the void to dodge, and the original location was already enveloped by lightning, annihilating everything!
It was Situ Kong who made the move. He stepped into the void and said calmly:
"Your opponent is me!" The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.
But at least given the current situation, it is advantageous for the disciples to oppose Da Yuan City.
It's a case of mutual exploitation!
If they were to deal with the disciples, it would actually be a problem!
Situ Kong then decisively took action, and the remaining pets that had been fighting in the previous battle appeared around him.
A giant [Greedy Thunder Insect General], much larger than a regular Thunder Insect, clad in lightning armor and wielding a lightning halberd, roared and charged directly at the Hollow Demon Mask!
Wherever it passed, it was like a thunderstorm, with electricity spreading everywhere!
Boom boom boom!
A giant, fat worm named the [Thunder-Eating Worm Drummer] floats around him, striking the drums with its massive legs and continuously applying an electric attribute enhancement buff to the swarm of worms.
At the same time, it unleashed the Thunder of Recovery, greatly enhancing the swarm's recovery and endurance, making it even more ferocious!
The last one is the [Thunder Eater Strategist], who looks somewhat refined and holds a lightning feather fan. He helps the Queen of Insects deploy her Mind Web and commands the insects together!
Although the Beastmaster system follows a mass-production tactic, it's impossible to lose a large portion of your forces in every battle. Replenishing the enslaved beast horde would be an astronomical sum, and most Beastmasters couldn't afford it unless they controlled a small world as a supply.
Furthermore, the loss of a large number of elite slave beasts will also affect the overall evolution of the swarm.
When facing an opponent with a wide-area AOE skill or the ability to heal in battle, you are more likely to be taken advantage of.
After all, in a large dynasty, an emperor alone is not enough. There are also civil and military officials and many generals who each have their own duties. In this way, even if there are a million elite troops or even more, they can be commanded as if they were their own hands, which is several times more powerful than a simple cannon fodder force!
Therefore, the correct upgrade path for the Beastmaster system, taking the Zerg as an example, is to take the Queen as the core, and combine her with the excellent units evolved from the Zerg swarm. Targeted training should be carried out for units such as healers, tanks, warriors, and commanders, and then the top units should be selected and contracted.
In this way, we can both make the most of our contract slots and enhance our overall strength!
Therefore, top-tier Beastmaster system Beastmasters are not only numerous but also of high quality!
Even some Beastmasters from the Arch-Tempered King system who wanted to use decapitation tactics, only to find that their generals were stronger than them after going through all the hardships to reach the Queen!
Despair erupted on the spot!
The biggest flaw in this system is only one thing, and that is...
Poor people don't deserve to play.
Only suitable for players who spend money!
Each step requires a significant amount of time and resources to build up, and once completed, it will be incredibly powerful!
Therefore, Situ Kong took direct action, holding back the Eighth Finger and the Myriad Desires Serpent Mother Tree.
Although there seemed to be fewer people, apart from the Myriad Desires Serpent Mother Tree, who had been sealed away for decades, the rest of them were just slacking off, forcing the Starry Beast Tower to give up suppressing the earth veins.
Now that someone wants to steal the final fruit, which involves their own interests, the Eighth Finger is also going all out, and the battle is extremely fierce!
Lightning collided with the void, unleashing terrifying aftershocks of the battle!
Although Situ Kong still had the strength, he didn't help his disciples, after all...
This guy doesn't look like a good person!
If you want to be the mastermind behind everything, you'd better show some skills!
Seeing this scene, the Ninth Finger's mask flashed red, and he had calmed down. Wasn't this unimaginable plot the exciting scene he had been looking forward to?
Destroying pleasure is itself a form of pleasure!
He said with a smile:
"Mr. Disciple, I think we can have a deeper discussion!"
As he spoke, Ninth Finger waved his right hand, and several thin, dark rifts opened up, heading towards the disciples on Bone Mountain. However, before they could get close, they were shattered by the bone sword!
Whoosh whoosh!
The Soul-Stealing Demon Cloud also made its move, sending out a large number of tentacles at high speed, but they were directly severed by the Angel Bone Blade, causing it to howl in pain!
The three parties immediately engaged in battle!
However, the Ninth Finger was pierced through the heart by the bone sword and affected by the power of the skeleton, causing its strength to drop by more than 30%.
On the contrary, An Hai, who had recovered some of the power of the skeletal angel, displayed unimaginable combat skills, becoming invincible by relying on the power of the old angel's body.
The Eye of the Dead is activated.
Everywhere you look, there are skeletons!
He was outnumbered two to one and had the upper hand in both!
The entire battlefield was divided into three parts, with the area where the disciples were located being the most peaceful, because neither Fanlv nor the Butcher dared to make a move, fearing that this guy would pull out another trump card!
Rumble!
Just as the great battle was raging, a violent tremor resounded, and the underground holy city continued to rise, tearing the earth apart and beginning to impact the starlight barrier!
This scene shocked everyone!
If this continues, the entire city of Dayuan will be torn apart by this massive city and completely reduced to nothing.
Countless people will be buried!
"Oh no!"
When Situ Kong saw this, he wanted to rush back to help, but he was blocked by several void tentacles, and the rusty mist of the Myriad Desires Serpent Mother Tree also swept over!
The eighth finger said with a grin, "Such interesting life fireworks wouldn't be fun if we interrupted them!"
Rumble!
Situ Kong remained silent, his eyes blazing with killing intent. He activated [Banquet of Thunderous Devouring] once more, unleashing an endless storm of lightning as he charged forward with even greater ferocity!
The thought of his treasured coffee machine being smashed was too much for him to bear!
"This guy is insane!"
Faced with this all-destroying thunder, the Mother Tree of Myriad Desires and the Eighth Finger could only passively dodge.
But they managed to hold off Situ Kong!
Are we going to die?
"I don't want to die! Someone, please save us!"
"Mom, where are you?"
"I've never been to an entertainment district in my life! Damn it, I'll die with regrets!"
"..."
The shockwave from the Bone Holy City reverberated throughout Dayuan City, causing widespread panic.
In the face of death, all beings are equal!
There are indeed brave warriors who are not afraid of death, but most of them are just ordinary people!
Even beast tamers are insignificant in the face of this terrifying natural disaster, barely able to protect themselves.
If the Holy City continues to rise, everyone except the Morning Star Rank and a group of people who can fly will be destroyed!
boom!
Just when everyone was in despair, a vast expanse of starlight swept in, like a galaxy surging forth, and fell upon the holy city.
Above the Starry Sky Tower, the white fox was surrounded by pale starlight. While suppressing the twilight pollution, it pushed the tower to its limit and forcibly prevented the emergence of the Holy City!
"Tch, annoying fox!" Eighth Finger's disappointed voice rang out as he continued to dodge the swarm of lightning insects that were sweeping in.
The tower's sturdiness far exceeded their expectations!
As expected of the legendary tower!
Little did they know that if it weren't for Lu Yu frequently creating extraordinary delicacies to refresh various buffs during this period, making the white fox plump and healthy, restoring it to two-thirds of its original state...
after all……
This is the power from the forbidden position!
Otherwise, under the relentless erosion of the evil god's retinue, the first twilight pollution would have been enough to severely damage it!
Even so, faced with a complete holy city, the entire tower began to tremble incessantly, barely able to withstand the violent impact from underground!
The special department members reacted quickly, because the Holy City covered too wide an area, and it was definitely too late to escape from the city.
Why not just bring the people closer to the Starry Sky Beast Tower!
"Thankfully, Boss White Fox was there to help!"
Upon seeing this, Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Although the true identity of the white fox was somewhat unexpected, he couldn't afford to be shocked. He quickly used the rat's telepathy to ask An Hai, who was in the battle, if he could shut down the Holy City.
This will cause it to sink back underground!
The first liberation was inevitable, but at least an opportunity to strike was found. Although the Ninth Finger was not killed, it was severely damaged!
As for the authority of the gods, although it is precious, Da Yuan City is his home, with many partners and friends. Not to mention the chain reaction after it is broken, which will directly affect the entire alliance!
When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken!
Therefore, Lu Yu decisively gave up and prepared to use the Eye of Truth to find other ways to enter later!
But the answer he received made his heart sink.
No!
An Hai was also helpless, because the Eye of the Dead was just the key to unlocking the city; once it was unlocked, the entire city would be revived!
As a place blessed by the gods, it contains unimaginable power and even possesses a trace of vitality!
It longs to return to the present world!
Unless a powerful figure of the giant level or above uses the [Eye of the Dead], it can barely be suppressed back, or one can enter the city and use the authority left behind by the Hidden Corpse Emperor to close it again!
"Looks like there's no escaping it!"
Lu Yu made a decisive decision, picking up An Mo, who was still unconscious on the skeletal throne, and heard him repeatedly murmuring the same sentence:
"It's coming..."
"What's coming?" Lu Yu asked casually.
"It's...it's coming..."
Hearing the unclear words, Lu Yu frowned but did not ask any further questions. Just as he was about to head to the Holy City, he saw that Fan Lü and the Butcher had already blocked his way.
Fan Lu said coldly, "Disciple, you have broken the agreement!"
The disciple said "Oh," and spread his hands, saying:
"I did break the rules, so come and hit me if you dare!"
"..."
Fan Lu was speechless for a moment, swallowing back all the words she had prepared.
When faced with a person who has no morals, all verbal condemnation is ineffective!
Only force matters!
The butcher standing nearby said in a deep voice, "Then we'll have no choice but to ask you to stay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the butcher formed hand seals, and different monster masks appeared, each containing different elements of the five elements, lightning, wind, and poison—a total of eight kinds of power!
They merged together, transforming into a gigantic black mask of wrath, burning with endless fury!
The Butcher was able to create the Limb-Splitting Demon race single-handedly, which naturally makes him a genius. Although he lost his limb-splitting skills after advancing to the Morning Star realm, he quickly improved his Eight-Armed King Spell through the more powerful [Face-Splitting Technique], giving birth to a new spell!
"The Art of Peeling Off the Face—The Eight-Faced Wrathful King!"
Ignite the fire of wrath and destroy everything!
"Disciple, I will not let you leave today!" The verdant dragon immediately reverted to its dragon form, determined to keep its opponent even at the cost of everything, and condensed its emerald green dragon breath!
A great war is about to break out!
"well……"
The disciple sighed, and just as Fanlu and the others were relieved that their opponent had finally shown some respect, they heard him continue:
"Why...why does everyone have to force me like this?!"
The moment the words fell, endless dust appeared around the disciple, rising without wind and slowly rotating.
An indescribable force of decay spread out, even the white bones beneath his feet began to rot and turn to ashes in an instant!
At the same time, a huge, dark golden scale appeared, surrounded by the phantom of time tributaries!
Scales of aging
Coming!
The moment it appeared, the whole world began to darken, and an endless stench of decay spread, instantly drawing the attention of the entire battlefield!
This is a long chapter of 6,500 words. I'm asking for monthly votes. Sometimes it's not that I don't want to write more, but there are too many plot threads to leave unresolved. I've been deleting and revising it constantly. I'll probably wrap it up in the next few days, bringing a climax, and then I'll move on to a new domain.
(End of this chapter)
