Undead Tyrant: Evolving from a Skeleton - Chapter 30-1

Chapter 30: The Second Boss Skill, Sky Shattering Slash!

Death Castle was not far away from him.

As he approached Death Castle, Bruce clearly saw the grandeur of Death Castle as it rose before him.

Other than the collapsed position, the rest of the castle walls would occasionally be patrolled by skeleton squads composed of archers or spell casters.

As the absolute core of the boneyard, there were no skeleton soldiers in Death Castle.

The lowest level of patrolling skeletons were advanced skeletons such as skeleton warriors, skeleton archers, and skeleton mages. Captains of the patrol team were composed of elite skeletons such as skeleton generals, skeleton archers, and terrifying mages.

Then there were the warrior-level skeletons.

These warrior-level skeletons that had great autonomy in the death castle were the target of Bruce’s hunt.

He approached the city wall very carefully.

He jumped through the collapsed part and waited for a small skeleton team to finish patrolling. When they had their backs facing the collapsed part, Bruce climbed up gently and appeared above the city wall.

Behind him was a section of the collapsed city wall.

In front of him was a team of skeleton archers, including an elite-ranked skeleton archer and ten advanced-ranked skeleton archers.

Skeletons had no flesh and blood.

When he was on the ground, Bruce could still minimize the sound of his steps by walking lightly. On this section of the city wall that was completely made of stone, even if he walked lightly, it was difficult to avoid making a sound.

When he appeared on the other section of the city wall, Bruce decided not to hide his figure and directly charged towards the skeleton team!

Ka!

The crisp sound of bones and rocks colliding could be heard on the city wall.

The skeleton squad that was less than ten meters away from Bruce was indeed alarmed.

The skeleton archer held the white bone bow tightly. As the captain, the skeleton archer immediately turned around. The pale white bone bow in his hand emitted a trace of death aura as he aimed.

Alarmed?

Since it was something that Bruce had expected, he did not show any emotion.

His speed increased by a few degrees.

The skeleton broadsword in his hand slashed out at this moment, enveloping the entire skeleton party within!

“Boss skill! Air splitter!”

Air Splitter was the second Boss skill that Bruce had obtained.

After killing three skeleton commanders and killing many elite skeletons under them, the number of Omni points that Bruce had already exceeded 20.

Before going there, Bruce had also used 13 Omni points to upgrade his second skill, Sky splitter, to the maximum level and evolved it into a Boss skill.

—

“Sky Splitter: active skill. Cannot be upgraded.” After using one-twentieth of stamina, a light blade that covering an area of 120 is released, dealing twice the normal attack damage to the enemies within the range. Every time an enemy is killed, the light blade splits once, causing half of the previous damage to the enemy within the range.”

—

From the description of the skill, “Sky splitter” did not seem to be very much stronger than the other skills.

However, what constitutes a normal attack?

It was a strike that Bruce used with his current strength and dexterity, coupled with the sharp blade of the skeleton broadsword.

At this point, Bruce took his blade out. He felt like killing an elite-level skeleton would be easy.

What is spatter damage?

It happened.

Slash through the air!

A dark-red blade of light burst forth from the skeleton blade, crossing the distance of several meters between Bruce and the skeleton team and striking the body of the nearest skeleton archer.

There was no doubt about it. This skeleton archer, which was only at the advanced level, was instantly killed.

At the same time, ten similar smaller light blades split out and attacked the surroundings. These small light blades inflicting huge damage.

The skill was nothing, really, but after killing the first skeleton archer, the dark-red light blade continued to move forward, continuously killing the second, third, and fourth skeleton archers on the line.

Every time a skeleton archer was killed, the light blade would split apart once.

And those tiny light blades that split apart (double damage) split apart again (0.5 times damage) after killing an advanced skeleton!

Every time they killed an enemy, the light blades would split apart.

This happened many times.

When all the enemies within the range of the light blades were killed or when the light blades that had split apart were not enough to kill the enemy, the seemingly endless splitting would stop.

It was terrifying.

If Bruce’s initial attack was enough and the enemies he faced were dense enough, theoretically speaking, the move would have gone on until all the enemies were killed.

It was the Air-shattering Slash—a divine weapon skill that could theoretically kill hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of enemies in one move.

Meanwhile, along the city wall, Bruce slashed out with his saber.

Countless tiny dark-red light blades covered every inch of space within a radius of ten meters.

Under this dense and sharp attack, the skeleton squad did not even last a breath. Shortly, they were all killed, turning into broken bones all over the ground.

Bruce did not care about the corpses.

After doing all this, Bruce squatted down and relied on the inner fence of the city wall to hide. He quietly moved to the other side of the city wall.

There was an arrow tower there.

His first target was a skeleton sniper who had reached the warrior rank. It was on that Arrow Tower!

He had cleared the skeleton squad on the city wall. There wouldn’t be any new skeletons coming in a short time. He needed to be careful not to be discovered by the other three skeleton squads on the city wall.

There were countless experts in the Death Castle.

There were at least a dozen warrior-rank skeletons there.

If the skeletons discovered him and alerted their allies of Bruce’s invasion, he would have to face a large number of warrior skeletons and elite skeletons.

Even if he already had two Boss skills, Bruce did not think that he could escape safely under the siege of a dozen or even dozens of dark mages, skeleton snipers, skeleton sword heroes, skeleton wardens, and other high-level undead.

As for skeletons…Wasn’t the so-called ultimate mystery of stealth unrivaled?

If he killed all the skeletons that had discovered his tracks, they wouldn’t be able to trace him, and they wouldn’t be able to tell that he had sneaked into the castle.

With this thought in mind, Bruce moved forward bit by bit.

Bruce quickly approached the Arrow Tower.
