Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“Halt! Where are you from? What’s your purpose here?”

A skeleton oozing with blackened energy called out from the center of the bone-white castle above.

Wielding a dark war blade, he pointed it at Jiang Cheng, his tone fierce and aggressive.

Jiang Cheng brought his skeletal steed to a halt and appraised the skeleton’s attributes.

Overview: A gatekeeper of the Skeleton Kingdom, holding a common position.

After examining the information, a confident smile played on Jiang Cheng’s lips.

He addressed A Silly Cutie, who was clinging to him with both arms.

“Let go of me for a moment. Cast your buffs on me, then merge your minions and send them to attack the gate, drawing their fire.”

“Okay!” Zhang Mengmeng obediently released her hold on Jiang Cheng’s waist and leaped down from the skeletal horse.

With a light wave of her staff, thirty-six skeletons burst forth from the ground.

This time, she didn’t chant the incantation aloud, casting the spell much faster than before.

During their ride, Jiang Cheng had shared many gaming tips and techniques, all of which she had committed to memory, intending to jot them down once she logged off.

But now was clearly not the time to log off, so she put the knowledge into practice.

Silent casting, or chantless spellcasting, was one such technique – the slowest casting method used only by novice players.

Zhang Mengmeng was determined to shed her gaming newbie status to better coordinate with Skeleton Big Brother.

“Undead Fusion Art!”

The thirty-six skeletons merged under Zhang Mengmeng’s Fusion Art, transforming into a Reaper Skeleton Elite Guard that charged towards the bone castle’s gate.

“Damn it! What the hell are you here for?!”

Seeing Jiang Cheng ignore him, the Black Fiend Gatekeeper felt his pride take a hit.

“To kill you.”

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Three arrows were lobbed into the air, piercing through the sky towards the Black Fiend Gatekeeper.

“You lowly skeleton, how dare you provoke me, the gatekeeper! You’re courting death! Archers, fire!”

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…”

The Black Fiend Gatekeeper pointed his blade at Jiang Cheng, commanding over three hundred archers to unleash a volley of arrows.

He himself retreated, attempting to evade the three arrows Jiang Cheng had launched.

But in the next moment, the arrows morphed into chain scythes, plummeting down and viciously slashing at him!

With a total attack power of 885, enhanced by 120 points from Soul Power and 300 points from A Silly Cutie’s buffs, Jiang Cheng’s attack reached 1,305!

Wailing of Extreme Frost’s critical damage bonus of 50%, 10 points of armor penetration deepening the damage by 10%, and the doubled effect of Dark Intimidation.

Plus 400 points of spell power.

A critical hit targeting a vital point, culminating in a staggering 7.5 times Critical Damage!

“-9,396!”

“-400!”

“-50!”

A terrifying damage number popped up, instantly shaving off two-thirds of the Black Fiend Gatekeeper’s health.

“Holy shit!”

The Black Fiend Gatekeeper’s body shuddered. He was about to leap down from the bone-white castle and flee immediately.

But to his horror, he discovered his movement speed had suddenly become incredibly slow, as if his entire skeletal frame had been frozen solid.

“I’m done for!”

*Clang!*

The sound of chains echoed in his ears, sending a chill down his spine.

In the next instant, he saw a blood skeleton soar above his head, evading the rain of arrows and retracting his chain scythes.

The next moment!

A blood-red spear materialized in the blood skeleton’s hand. In the gatekeeper’s terrified black pupils, the spear rapidly descended from the sky!

*Clang!*

The immense force, amplified by the speed boost, impaled the Black Fiend Gatekeeper in a single thrust!

*Boom!*

His black skeletal body couldn’t withstand the sudden explosive force. The moment the spear pierced through him, he shattered into countless bone fragments!

In that instant, all the archer guards were stunned.

“Damn it! We’ve got a ruthless… skeleton on our hands!”
