Chapter 429: Volume 9: Phantom of the Ancient Castle, - 1: Singular Strike on the Flying Dragon
Just as everyone marveled at the meticulously detailed and lifelike giant stone engraving paintings, there seemed to be a continuous series of fine creaking sounds coming from the depths of the passage. At first, they did not attract much attention, but as the creaking grew more frequent and louder, the mage knights who had already turned their gaze away from the surrounding stone wall paintings realized that, at some point, the space had once again become shrouded with a thick presence of death.
Only when a dense mass of skeleton group emerged in a steady cadence from the dark depths of the passage did everyone realize that these skeletons each held, without exception, a rusty iron sword and a patchy old shield—they were obviously souls from the ancient battlefield, and the pale bones proved their history was not short.
In the eyes of the group, these skeleton warriors possessed not very formidable combat power. The only somewhat annoying aspect was their sheer number; they were a dark, oppressive sight, with no end in sight, and the dark passage deep within seemed like the gaping maw of a giant beast, ceaselessly spewing out skeletons.
Perhaps seeing an opportunity to train, almost at the same time, two dark knights sped past several mages like ghosts, accelerating their speed to several times that of a normal person with an acceleration spell, while the surging Fighting Qi greatly elevated their protective abilities to the extreme.
Several mages also timely bestowed blessings upon the two dark knights. The dual blessings from both darkness and light gave the two dark knights a strange appearance, with a holy silver-white glow and a gloomy purple-black halo enveloping them.
The knight spears, vomiting dark glows, suddenly joined together to form a massive Fighting Qi attack circle. This attack circle exploded with unprecedented power as it came together.
Like the roar of a tsunami, dozens of skeletons that had been surrounding and brandishing their rusty swords and shields were shattered in an instant by a powerful Fighting Qi strike that swept over them like a storm, sending white bone fragments and scattered weapons drizzling onto the ground, forming an enormous void in the area around the strike.
Even the mysterious mage, who had been unfazed until now, couldn’t hide a look of astonishment in her eyes, while Rebury and Komer, who had been quietly observing the mysterious mage, discovered behind her surprised look a hint of wariness and concern. This odd expression struck Rebury with alarm and left Komer utterly baffled.
