Chapter 78. Youll Be Able to Do Something Fun (4)
Facing barehanded combat was inevitable. Once again, a fist came flying toward me.
I hastily raised my arm to block it.
Whoosh! Thwack!
I had no time to think carefully. Although I did not feel any pain, the force of the blow sent my arm flying back. Another punch came my way, and I blocked it with the same arm. My shoulder felt stiff as if it were about to give out.
Clack, clack! Clack, clack!
The skeleton gnashed its teeth fiercely. Its large jaw snapped loudly, creating an intimidating presence. From an objective perspective, this skeleton was on par with a gatekeeper of the Ossuary of Wraiths—a low-level enemy.
Yet here I was, overwhelmed by something so basic.
What happened to me?
I wondered if this supposed ability-suppressing barrier could truly exist. The always truthful translucent blue system window had never lied to me. Just as it described, my bones were in shambles, and my abilities had drastically diminished.
Whoosh! Crack!
Lost in thought, I failed to dodge, and the skeleton struck my skull again.
