Chapter 4: Killing the Skeleton Swordsman

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Crack!

With York’s attack, a Level 9 Skeleton monster shattered.

“You killed a Skeleton monster.”

“Obtained 35 experience points.”

“Congratulations on reaching Level 5. Strength increased by 1 point, Agility increased by 1 point.”

Ignoring the system notification, York skillfully walked forward and placed his hand on the broken bones.

“You have absorbed the essence of the bones. Your constitution has increased by 0.1. Your agility has increased by 0.1.”

A level 9 Skeleton monster only increased York’s attributes by 0.2.

York felt a little helpless. He concluded, “It seems that the method of killing Skeletons has reached the limit.”

In the past few days, York had killed hundreds of Skeletons, but his gains were decreasing. Sometimes, he could only obtain merely 0.1 attributes by absorbing a few Skeletons.

York opened his characteristic panel and checked.

[Name]: York

[Race]: Undead Race – Skeleton monster

[Level]: 5

[Status]: Health Points 57, Magic Power 63

[Attributes]: Constitution 10, Strength 15, Intelligence 11, Agility 14

[Talent]: Devour

[Skill]: None

When Skeletons leveled up, they would only receive 2 attribute points. Even if they were level 9 Skeletons, their four attributes would not exceed 30 points.

However, York had more than 50 points, which was unprecedented among the Skeleton monsters.

“It’s about time to meet that guy.”

York acted upon his words. He held the bone hammer and quickly disappeared.

…

A few minutes later, York hid behind a huge rock and peeked at a mine through a narrow gap.

Clang!

…

Hundreds of Skeletons raised their pickaxes numbly and knocked on the walls with hollow eyes.

In an open space nearby, a ferocious-looking monster stood tall.

The monster was at least two meters tall and its body was sewn together with strange bones. Every bone was as thick as an adult’s thigh and it carried a huge bone sword.

Just standing there was enough to make others shudder.

[Skeleton Swordsman]

[Level]: 9

[Status]: Health Points 100, Magic Power 100

[Skill]: Ghost Slash

This Skeleton Swordsman was Andre’s most trusted subordinate. In Andre’s absence, this fellow was the supervisor here.

When York was summoned, he was bullied by the creature. It was time for revenge.

After observing the huge sword behind the Skeleton Swordsman, York was a little fearful.

The Skeleton Swordsman had similar attributes to York, but the most important thing was that it had a class and possessed class skills and weapons.

If they fought head-on, York might not have a chance of winning.

York did not choose to attack rashly. He was a player of The New Age in his previous life. There was no need to attack these mindless monsters without full confidence.

He should make full use of his advantage.

York threw away his bone hammer and found a pickaxe and a sharp bone awl.

Then, he mixed into the hundreds of skeletons and disguised himself as an ordinary Skeleton monster.

York pretended to mine while carefully observing the Skeleton Swordsman.

When the Skeleton Swordsman patrolled near York, York suddenly came to his side and lay motionless on the ground.

“Keke? Kekeke…”

The Skeleton Swordsman let out a strange cry and walked angrily towards York.

Close!

Five meters away…

Four…

Three…

York held his bone awl tightly and calculated the distance of the Skeleton Swordsman.

When the Skeleton Swordsman was about a meter away from York, York suddenly stood up and stabbed his bone awl at the Skeleton Swordsman’s eye socket like a venomous snake.

“Ding! You hit a vital point.”

“80 Critical Hit Damage!”

The Skeleton Swordsman wailed and retreated while hugging his skull.

“Die!”

York did not give him any time to catch his breath. He dashed forward and pinned the Skeleton Swordsman under him.

He gripped the bone awl in his hand tightly and continuously stabbed at the skull of the Skeleton Swordsman.

The Skeleton Swordsman’s four attributes were only comparable to York’s.

He was attacked when he was caught off guard and was severely injured. He did not even have the time to use most of his strength.

At first, he could resist, but he was beaten up by York.

Soon, the Skeleton Swordsman stopped breathing.

“You killed the Skeleton Swordsman.”

“You received 500 experience points.”

“Congratulations on reaching Level 6. Strength increased by 1 point, Agility increased by 1 point.”

“Congratulations on leveling up to Level 7. Your Constitution has increased by 1 point, and your Strength has increased by 1 point.”

A series of system notifications appeared. York leveled up twice and obtained 4 attribute points.

But compared to his other gains from this attack, this was only a supplementary gift.

York panted heavily. After resting for a while, he came to the Skeleton Swordsman and took out the huge sword behind him.

It was cold to the touch.

[Bone Greatsword]

Quality: Silver

Effect: Constitution+10, Strength+15

Special Effect: Attack has a 15% chance of creating a bleeding effect, reducing the target’s health by 10 points per second for 3 seconds.

“This is the best!” York exclaimed. The attributes of the sword doubled York’s constitution and strength!

Despite his surprise, York felt a little glad.

Fortunately, his attacks were fierce enough and did not give the Skeleton Swordsman a chance to use this sword. Otherwise, he would have absolutely no chance of winning.

With the Bone Greatsword on his back, York looked at the Skeleton Swordsman’s corpse with shining eyes.

He wondered what kind of attributes he would obtain after devouring this skeleton..
