My Talent Skill Mutated

Chen Yu stared at the Crystal Tower, his brow deeply furrowed.

"Something seems off about this Crystal Tower," the crew-cut youth said from behind him.

"I feel it too. This isn’t normal," the long-haired youth agreed with a nod.

"Captain, what do you think?" the tall, thin youth asked, turning to Chen Yu. The other two also fixed their gazes on him.

"Let’s go down and take a look," Chen Yu said. With a flicker of his body, he vanished from the sky.

The three exchanged a look, then took a step forward and vanished into the dense fog.

Soon, the group of four had arrived before the thousand-meter-tall Crystal Tower.

The Crystal Tower stood silently upon the barren plains, emitting a faint purple glow.

For ten thousand meters around it, there was no fog.

It was as if the tower’s power repelled it all.

Bathed in a faint purple light, the Crystal Tower seemed to be shrouded in a powerful, mysterious energy.

This potent energy radiated outward, pushing everything away from it.

As they approached the Crystal Tower, all four of them, Chen Yu included, felt an inexplicable Mental Suppression.

And its source was the Crystal Tower itself.

"Should we go in and take a look?" the crew-cut youth asked, staring at the tower.

"We can..."

"INTRUDERS, DIE!"

Just as Chen Yu began to speak, a cold voice suddenly echoed from within the Crystal Tower.

A vast aura erupted, sending ripples through the very air.

A purple light flared, and a three-meter-tall figure strode out of the Crystal Tower.

An Undead Skeleton!

But this was no ordinary Undead Skeleton. This one was entirely golden.

It looked as if it were forged from pure gold.

The only exception was the purple flames burning within its eye sockets.

Its immense aura was so powerful it seemed to weigh down the very air.

The expressions on their faces changed in an instant.

Level Nine!

This golden Undead Skeleton was a Level Nine entity!

They had only just arrived. First, it was an army of phantoms, and now they’d run into a Level Nine skeleton monster.

’Did we just pick the wrong day to come here?’

They knew the Tenth Abyss was a harsh place, but the reality was far worse than they had ever imagined.

’Level Nine...’

The aura of the golden skeleton monster made even Chen Yu’s heart grow heavy.

He had encountered very few Level Nine monsters in all his time, and this golden skeleton was the first of its kind.

Even he dared not underestimate it in the slightest.

While he had dispatched a few monsters whose power was *comparable* to Level Nine, there was still a huge gap between that and a *true* Level Nine.

The golden Undead Skeleton stared at Chen Yu. The purple flames in its eye sockets flared as its aura surged, exuding a palpable Mental Suppression.

"You pack of peasants dare disturb my slumber? You all deserve to die!"

ZZZING!!

Its cold words still hanging in the air, the golden skeleton vanished in a flash of golden light.

Startled, the four immediately activated their Powerful Energy Superpowers to shield themselves.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A series of impacts rang out as three figures were sent flying over a thousand meters.

"Pfft—!"

The figures crashed to the ground like meteorites, each one coughing up a mouthful of blood.

The three had reacted quickly, but they were no match for the Level Nine skeleton monster.

Even with the defense of their Powerful Energy Superpowers, they couldn’t withstand an attack from a Level Nine.

Chen Yu, however, had reacted instantly. Tapping into his Divine Speed, he dodged the skeleton’s attack.

A speed of Mach 200,000 was no joke.

Even against a peak Level Nine, his speed gave him a massive advantage.

"Interesting. To think a peasant like you could dodge my attack," the golden skeleton rasped, its gaze fixed on Chen Yu.

’Peasant...’

"And I suppose a crawler from the dark is so noble?" Chen Yu shot back with a sneer.

"You damned thing! I’ll kill you!"

With a furious roar, the golden skeleton unleashed an astonishing aura that stirred the very heavens.

KRA-KOOM!

A clap of thunder echoed as a brilliant bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky, hurtling toward Chen Yu at incredible speed.

’Holy shit, it can summon lightning?!’

Chen Yu’s eye twitched as he watched the destructive lightning descend from the sky.

An Undead Creature summoning lightning... even for a Level Nine, that was just absurd.

ZZZT—!

A flash of azure light flared. Activating his Divine Speed to its fullest, Chen Yu vanished with lightning speed.

BOOM!!!

The purple lightning struck, blasting a massive crater in the ground amid a shower of sparks.

But Chen Yu was already gone. The attack had missed.

CLANG!!

A sharp clang rang out. Chen Yu, having produced a greatsword from nowhere, had slashed at the golden skeleton.

But the expected result didn’t happen. The force of the blow sent a numbing shock up Chen Yu’s arm, yet it only left a shallow gash on the golden skeleton.

Even his Extraordinary Weapon couldn’t truly harm it.

"Damned peasant!"

The golden skeleton roared. A brilliant golden light flared, and the very space around Chen Yu seemed to freeze. A heavy pressure bore down on him.

BAM!!

Unleashing the golden light, the skeleton seized the opportunity to smash its fist into Chen Yu.

With the space around him locked by the golden light, even Divine Speed couldn’t help Chen Yu evade the blow.

He took the punch head-on.

"Pfft—!"

His body was sent flying ten thousand meters away, and he spat a mouthful of blood in midair.

THUD!!!

His body slammed heavily into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Chen Yu staggered to his feet, his internal organs feeling as if they might shatter. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"Peasant, die!"

The cold voice rang out as the golden skeleton moved to strike again, but this time, the other three made their move.

The ground beneath the golden skeleton turned into a swamp, its incredible suction holding the creature fast.

Simultaneously, sharp blades of energy materialized from the void, slashing at the golden skeleton from all directions.

A wave of light shaped like a red crescent moon shot out, striking the golden skeleton at blinding speed.
