782 Twelve Shura Skeletons (2)
The Shura Skeletons erged, floating on the sea surface amidst the black mist, surrounding Ji Chen in the middle. Once he made any movent, they would launch frenzied attacks.
Ji Chen looked on with indifference, saying, "Relying solely on these rotten skeletons to trap ? Seems you underestimate too much."
"Hehehe, rest assured, this ti I will personally et you." A column of black mist, thick as smoke, rose into the sky, accompanied by a twisted, abyssal screech. Ordinary beings hearing such a sound would fall into madness, becoming soulless creatures.
Unfazed, Ji Chen watched the undead lord manifest from the black mist, casting a contemptuous gaze.
Compared to the alchemical modifications and the massive physique of Balzarna, the undead lord appeared like a dwarf-like aberration. Standing barely a ter and three, his entire body shriveled like an old lamp drained of oil. Yet, the eerie blue-purple flas burning in his eye sockets were incredibly sinister, hinting at the madness and... greed of non-human entities.
Seeing the unabashed greed in his eyes, Ji Chen suddenly smiled.
"It seems you, or should I say, you all, covet my power."
The undead lord, seeing that Ji Chen showed no intention of leaving, dropped the pretense. He didn't care if his sches were exposed; he was suprely confident in his power.
"Of course, your power is the opportunity for us to ascend to godhood. How could we let you leave here alive?"
The undead lord, as if confident that Ji Chen was in his grasp, didn't rush to act. He chuckled, "Human, being able to kill that fool Balzarna and discern my array, I admit you have so strength, but such ager power is useless before us.
You will ultimately be devoured by us, and your power will be ours."
"Us?" Ji Chen's face showed so interest. "Could it be as rumored, that you are not a solitary existence but a twisted monster ford from dozens of decaying souls?"
"You must have heard this from that alchemical-modified person Balzarna." The undead lord chuckled a few tis. "But it's not a monster, but a more perfect evolutionary form."
Evolutionary form?
This term resembled the discussions about 'man-rape' among the Sea Heirs.
The undead lord seed unwilling to dwell on this topic. His tone turned cold, "Words are futile. When you are devoured by us, you will understand everything."
As soon as he finished speaking, the twelve Shura Skeletons simultaneously moved, lifting various giant weapons and rushing in, shrouded in black mist.
Ji Chen remained calm, shaking his head. "Do you think I know your trap and would walk into it alone?"
"Kraken, Herald, deal with them."
"Lady Serena, Sir Samuel, Sir Isaiah, I need you to engage the other enemies, creating opportunities for to slay the undead lord."
"No problem! Leave it to us. You just focus on dealing with the undead lord."
A loud voice rang out. Samuel and Serena suddenly leaped out of the sea, eting three of the Shura Skeletons without warning.
From the sky ca the sound of trotting hooves. A strange beast, wrapped in black scales, descended from the void, engulfing the sky with a black fla, trapping four of the Shura Skeletons.
Isaiah disdainfully said, "Restraint? You underestimate . I could easily deal with all these skeletal fras alone."
As he spoke, he spat out hellfire, driving back two approaching Shura Skeletons, burning gaping holes into their seemingly sturdy armor.
Dealing with legendary-tier opponents with epic-tier power was quite easy, at least for Isaiah, who had already reached the pinnacle of epic-tier. It only required giving him enough ti, and he could easily deal with the four Shura Skeletons.
Following closely behind the two deep sea dragon whale powerhouses, several legendary heroes from the Ocean Crown also joined the fray. Herald and Benbo each faced off against one Shura Skeleton, while Alice assisted with her singing.
The colossal body of Kraken erged from the sea, wielding his tree-trunk-like tentacles to attack three Shura Skeletons, keeping them away from Ji Chen.
In just a dozen breaths of ti, the twelve Shura skeletons that had surrounded him were distracted.
A noticeable look of astonishnt appeared on the face of the Undead Lord. It seed that he wasn't psychologically prepared for these sudden enemies, or perhaps he hadn't anticipated that Ji Chen would bring so many helpers along.
Damn it. Could it be that this human, tempted by authority, actually had the ti to return to his territory and bring back the legendary tier heroes who were left behind?
If he wasn't confident that his subordinates who knew the plan were loyal to him, the Undead Lord would almost suspect that there were traitors among them, leaking all the information.
However, he had never imagined that these pieces of information were exposed by a ghost ship with the authority of foresight.
Ji Chen looked at the Shura skeletons being restrained and the gloomy-faced Undead Lord and said with a smile.
"It seems we can have a one-on-one duel now."
"Hmph, even so, you can't escape death," said the Undead Lord coldly. The black mist rolled, his body quickly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, he swelled into a giant over ten ters tall, with countless distorted and struggling faces crowded on his body, so showing fear, so showing terror, and so showing pain.
These were all strong individuals swallowed by the Undead Lord. Their shattered souls were forever bound within this body, experiencing endless tornt.
This was both a twisted and perverted display of power.
If Ji Chen were to be swallowed, he would beco one of those faces.
The Undead Lord stomped his feet fiercely, flying toward Ji Chen like a cannonball. Under his feet, the ground was covered with spider-web-like cracks and pits. The surrounding pile of bones scattered like they were hit by a Category 12 hurricane, splattering into the air like powder.
Whoo—
The Undead Lord clenched his huge bone fist, and a spiral vortex beyond the speed of sound ford at the tip of his fist, bringing up a long, radiating spatial crack. The shockwave from the impact was even louder than a ship's whistle.
This one blow was enough to directly destroy an epic-tier opponent head-on.
Ji Chen's expression slightly changed, his body suddenly disappeared from where he stood, appearing in the air thousands of ters away. Although he dodged it, the residual explosive fist wind still made his skin feel a bit sore.
Boom—The Undead Lord's fist smashed into a hill on the island, actually shattering it into pieces. The flying debris of rocks and soil even rose tens of ters into the air.
From this one strike, it was easy to see that the Undead Lord's strength was much higher than that of the Dreadlord, with a gap even though both were above epic level.
Ji Chen's expression beca serious as he unhesitatingly threw a scroll from his backpack towards the still unsettled hill.
[Forbidden Spell Scroll: Thunder Prison]
[Grade]: 7 Stars
[Effect]: Upon use, invokes the Forbidden Spell: Thunder Prison, turning the area within a radius of five hundred ters into a zone of life imprisonnt.
Forbidden spells could only be cast by epic-tier powerhouses, but they weren't sothing that could be used casually. Considerable ti was needed for preparation, and the consumption of one's own magical power was also extrely terrifying.
One misstep could drain one's magical power and harm oneself.
However, driven by the scroll, a powerful forbidden spell quickly took shape in a short amount of ti.
Thick dark clouds gathered in the sky in just a few breaths, and thunderbolts as thick as buckets fell with a deafening roar, piercing through the dense dust and crashing down heavily.
One thunderbolt after another fell continuously, shattering everything on the island, and the piled-up corpses were no exception.
This scene made Isaiah, who was barely holding off a few Shura skeletons, turn his head in surprise and say, "When did this guy still have a hidden forbidden spell? But unfortunately, forbidden spells can't kill those above epic tier..."
In fact, Ji Chen didn't expect to rely solely on this long forbidden spell scroll to deal with the Undead Lord. It was more of a test.
The dark clouds dispersed, and the thunder ceased.
The dust gradually settled, revealing the figure of the Undead Lord.
When he saw the scars left by the thunder strikes on the twisted faces covering his body, his eyes narrowed.
It seed that even soone as strong as the Undead Lord, who was above epic tier, was not immune to attacks from epic-tier spells.
