Undead Tyrant: Evolving from a Skeleton - Chapter 13

Chapter 13: The Battle Between the Elite Skeletons, the Valley of the Dead!

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

It was hard to imagine that a skeleton general with hundreds of skeletons would start a war against only one skeleton. However, when this hundred-against-one battle began, the first to attack was the lone skeleton!

Under Bruce’s gaze, that skeleton began to charge.

100 meters…

50 meters…

30 meters!

Facing the direction of the skeleton army’s attack, the speed of this skeleton’s charge became faster and faster!

When the distance between the two was only more than 10 meters, this skeleton leaped into the air, leaving a deep footprint on the ground with a bang. The skeleton soared into the air, passing the dozens of skeleton soldiers with swords and shields at the forefront of the skeleton sea. Soon, it was floating above the Skeleton Sea! 

Then, it landed on the ground.

A brilliant light blade shot out from the skeleton’s two-handed greatsword and attacked the skeleton soldiers in front of it!

Sky Splitter!

When Bruce saw this emperor, the soul fire in his eyes flickered slightly.

There was no doubt that this skeleton was an elite skeleton.

The Sky Splitter skill was enough to show that the class template of this skeleton fighting alone was clearly an elite class of skeleton swordsmen!

“It seems that I am in luck,” he muttered.

He felt lucky to have encountered the elite skeleton.

However, he was not in a hurry to get involved in the war.

Instead, he patiently continued to conceal his tracks and quietly watched the battle from afar.

The growth of the individual strength of the skeleton sword soil was higher than that of the skeleton warrior. As an elite class of skeleton swordsmen, the growth rate of the individual strength of this skeleton was one step higher than that of the skeleton warlord.

Even the skeleton warlord was not a match for this elite skeleton, let alone the advanced skeleton drum and skeleton soldiers under the leadership of the skeleton warlord.

When the light blade formed by the space-splitting slash was unleashed, a small area in front of this skeleton was instantly cleared.

Broken bones flew everywhere in one move!

The skeleton general had lost over thirty skeleton soldiers.

After that one attack, the skeleton did not release any more skills. Instead, it waved the two-handed greatsword in its hand and continuously killed the skeleton soldiers in front of it, charging towards the direction of the skeleton general.

At the same time, the skeleton general did not stay idle either.

Following an extremely obscure soul fluctuation, the skeleton soldiers behind the sea of skeletons raised the white bone bows in their hands, and a rain of white bone arrows shot towards the elite skeletons.

Beside the skeleton general, the two skeleton mages cast their spells at the same time, and two blue fireballs the size of human heads appeared, shooting towards the elite skeletons at an extremely fast speed.

[ PS: The archers that appeared here are skeleton soldiers. However, the skeleton equipment has turned into a white bone bow. They are not skeleton archers who have advanced class templates and long-range attack skills. ]

The physique attributes of the elite skeleton swordsmen far exceeded that of the skeleton soldiers and advanced skeletons. They were even stronger than the skeleton generals.

Although he did not have any armor on his body, his bones were gradually becoming thicker and closed faintly, providing him with a strong defensive ability.

Facing the attacks of countless skeleton soldiers, the elite skeleton swordsman did not dodge at all.

When the different types of skeleton weapons hit the elite skeleton swordsman, they only left light scratches on the strong skeleton body.

However, this was only aimed at the ordinary skeleton soldiers.

When the dozens of arrows came, small gaps began to appear on the strong skeleton body. When the bone arrows came towards the eye sockets, even the elite skeleton sword soil had to swing his sword to block them!

As for the Netherworld Fireball, the strong bones provided the elite skeleton swordsman with a strong physical defense, but they did not provide it with a magic defense.

When the two dark-blue fireballs exploded on its body, a scorched mark appeared on the elite skeleton swordsman’s body.

There were faint death cracks spreading in other directions with the scorched mark as the center.

In Bruce’s field of vision, these two netherworld fireballs shot out in unison, taking out a full 10% of the elite skeleton swordsman’s HP!

It was no wonder that when the elite skeleton swordsman charged into the sea of skeletons, the skeleton general did not move even half a step.

If the skeleton underlings under him were only trash like skeleton soldiers and skeleton warriors, this war would probably end with the elite skeleton swordsman beheading the skeleton general.

However, if the skeleton generals had enough soldiers under them, it would be difficult for the elite skeleton swordsmen to beat their opponents.

Outside the battlefield, the soul fire in Bruce’s eyes flickered slightly.

He had skeleton warriors, and there were a total of thirty-nine of them.

He also had skeleton archers, but there were only four of them.

The rest were skeleton assassins and skeleton guards.

As for skeleton mages, it was a different matter. It had been more than ten days since he was reborn. He had not even seen the shadow of a skeleton mage. He thought about obtaining a skeleton mage or a class template.

To be honest, a single skeleton mage was almost no threat to Bruce.

But if a skeleton mage appeared in the middle of the sea of skeletons and could deal damage without any burden, its value would increase tenfold!

Even Bruce might not be much better than this elite skeleton swordsman!

Skeleton — skeleton soldier — skeleton warrior — skeleton general — skeleton commander — Skeleton King.

There was a reason this advancement path was the orthodox advancement path for the skeleton clan.

Even an elite-ranked skeleton general had a spellcaster like a skeleton mage by his side. One could imagine how many skeletons of other classes would gather around the skeleton commander and Skeleton King.

The path of advancement for the skeleton clan had never been simple!

While Bruce was deep in thought, the battle on the battlefield had also entered a white-hot state.

After enduring three waves of arrow rain and two waves of Netherworld Fireballs, the elite skeleton swordsman finally rushed to the vicinity of the skeleton general.

Its body suddenly leaped up and crossed a few meters.

Just as it was about to reach the top of the skeleton general, it released its “space-splitting slash” for the second time.

At this moment, the skeleton guard who had been standing beside the skeleton general rushed out. Holding a thick tower shield condensed from the essence of the skeleton, this skeleton guard, which only had an advanced class, forcibly blocked the powerful light blade!

The tower shield shattered.

The skeleton guards’ shattered bones flew in all directions, and only the skeleton heads, which were still intact, fell to the ground.

However, the skeleton general did not suffer any damage.

Taking advantage of the time when the elite skeleton sword soil finished releasing its skills, the dozens of skeleton soldiers once again launched a wave of arrow rain in their direction. The hands of the two skeleton mages once again ignited blue fireballs.

Even the skeleton warrior itself swung its two-handed warhammer and attacked the elite skeleton swordsman!

Boom!

Arrow rain!

Dark fireball!

Two-handed combat!

Three attacks landed on its body, and the elite skeleton swordsman’s HP instantly fell to only one-fifth of its original health!

The hunt failed.

Sensing the danger, the elite skeleton swordsman released its last “space-splitting slash,” clearing the skeleton soldiers around it before escaping from the battlefield.

After paying the price of losing one-tenth of their HP, the elite skeleton swordsmen successfully escaped the battlefield.

The rain of arrows did not stop.

The skeleton soldiers continued to pursue them.

However, with their high agility growth rate, even elite-ranked skeleton generals could not catch up with the elite skeleton swordsmen, let alone those skeleton soldiers who were only at the basic rank.

In just a few short breaths, the elite skeleton soldiers who had left the battlefield had disappeared into the vast wilderness far away.

There was a short pause.

After the elite skeleton swordsmen had completely disappeared, the skeleton general gave the order again to tidy up his skeleton underlings and disappeared into the dark sky from another direction.

From the beginning to the end, neither side found Bruce, who was hiding outside the battlefield.

Kacha!

Kacha!

Walking out of the hiding place, Bruce took a glance at the direction where the skeleton sea had disappeared. He then brought his skeleton underlings and chased after the elite skeleton swordsman.

The skeleton general had lost some of its skeleton soldiers, but not much.

In particular, the two skeleton mages who were spellcasters still retained their full combat strength.

It was undoubtedly unwise to chase after the skeleton general at this time.

On the other hand, the elite skeleton swordsman only had one-tenth of its HP left. It would take a long time for it to fully recover. If they could catch up to it, they could enslave the elite skeleton!

When comparing the two, naturally, the latter was more attractive to Bruce.

Moreover, the class template of the elite skeleton swordsman was one of the necessities that Bruce needed for his class change!

Along the way, he did not meet any other elite skeletons.

Following the traces left by the elite skeleton swordsman, Bruce continued to pursue until more than an hour later, he left this hilly area with his skeleton underlings and turned to arrive at a canyon.
