Just after they had all been killed, the green light in the passageway lit up again.
Not again?
Su Bai frowned. Even if killing is simple, it's annoying when it keeps happening endlessly.
Before he could even get ready, the passageway collapsed with a deafening roar.
As the dust settled, a dilapidated entrance was revealed to everyone.
Su Bai, Kerrigan, and Zhao Ganwu exchanged glances, and after receiving confirmation from each other's eyes, they stepped inside together.
What appeared before the three was not the expected skeleton army.
Instead, it was an extremely large, dilapidated palace.
The interior of the hall was covered in dust, and when the door was opened, you could see air particles floating in the air.
The sun has not graced this place for a long time.
A gloomy atmosphere pervaded the area.
But it's not hard to see the glory this place once had from many places.
The architectural style from ancient times still shines brightly in the hall.
The exquisite carvings, far from being obscured by dust, have become even more ancient and magnificent with the passage of time.
A throne stands in the most prominent place in the hall.
This throne is so beautiful that even someone with no artistic talent would be amazed upon seeing it.
A giant, glowing skeleton sat atop it.
It sits regally on its throne, and even in its skeletal state, one can still glimpse the majesty it possessed in its adulthood.
"It's Aleister...?!"
Kerrigan exclaimed.
Su Bai picked up a badge that had fallen nearby, blew off the dust, and then deciphered the text on it.
"Aleister...it seems to be him!"
He raised his head again and met the gaze of this legend from a thousand years ago.
"I never imagined that these were the remains of the great mage Aleister!"
"Oh? But they're all corpses now, so there shouldn't be anything..."
As Zhao Ganwu spoke, he reached out and touched the corpse.
Before his hand even touched the bone, a loud "boom" was heard.
Countless magical puppets appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them.
Descriptions of epic quality kept flashing before Su Bai's eyes.
"Looks like it's going to be another tough battle."
Zhao Ganwu chuckled a few times, his fighting spirit instantly ignited.
Just when they thought that was all, Su Bai was the first to notice something was wrong.
"careful!"
He reached out to shield everyone as they took a step back.
A giant magical golem descended from the sky, landing precisely where they had just been.
Kerry patted his chest contentedly.
If Su Bai hadn't covered for her in time, that skeleton would have definitely smashed her head open.
At the same time, she was secretly surprised by Su Bai's strength.
She considered herself quite capable, but she hadn't even noticed the monster's appearance.
Thank you!
"We don't need to say these things between us."
Su Bai waved his hand dismissively, his gaze fixed on the giant magical skeleton.
Judging from the flickering screen in front of him.
The real main course is here.
[General Vince]
[Grade: Legendary]
[Level: lv60]
[Introduction: Vince was the first general under the great mage Aleister. He guarded the floating city his entire life. After his death, his soul was injected into a puppet, where he continues to guard the city.]
Vince brandished the bone weapon in his hand, the bones moving with incredible force in his grasp.
This also gives us a glimpse into how glamorous he must have been during his lifetime.
"Enemy! Invader! Follow me! Eliminate them!"
Vince's mouth opened and closed, and a loud sound came out along with the creaking of his bone-like tracksuit.
It's hard to imagine that this skeleton could produce such a loud sound.
"They're finally getting serious!"
Zhao Ganwu cracked his knuckles, his inherent competitive spirit constantly at work.
He radiated a unique light as he threw a punch at the magical puppet beside him.
What's horrifying is that the magical puppet, the moment it was broken apart, reformed itself once again.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Su Bai, who witnessed this scene, took a breath.
"Wow! This thing is really weird!"
Zhao Ganwu was immediately dumbfounded.
If his fist hadn't still been throbbing, he would have thought nothing had happened.
Su Bai stroked his chin, an idea rising in his mind.
If only these magical skeletons could be used by me.
But if it can't be used by me...
Su Bai loosened his muscles and bones, and a surge of spiritual energy gathered in his palm.
"Then don't blame me for grinding you to dust and making you suffer endless torment."
A sharp beam of light shot out from his palm and immediately struck one of the magical puppets.
The magical puppet fell apart in an instant.
While it was trying to restore its original form, Broken Tooth acted on its call.
They jumped onto each of his bones.
With the blessing of [Breath of Fury], a whirlwind-like luster enveloped the entire body of the upper bone.
At the beginning, the skeletons will also have a violent riot.
Soon, the skeleton became as still as any other bone.
It seems that the magical puppet's automatic regeneration, even with the remaining magical enhancements, has a time limit.
If the restoration cannot be completed within this timeframe.
Then this function will be permanently disabled.
This is likely related to Aleister's downfall.
"Get entangled with them!"
Su Bai, Zhao Ganwu, and Kerrigan exchanged glances, briefly shared some information, and then went their separate ways.
Using the methods we just learned, such as the preparation method, we dealt with the enemy before us.
The number of insect swarms brought in was not large, compared to the massive attack on the dragon race.
These insect swarms even seemed pitifully small.
Fortunately, it's not about the quantity of soldiers, but their quality.
These powerful leaping insects are all of the highest Mythic grade.
With a swing of its sharp claws, it can crush a skeleton to pieces.
Since it was successfully destroyed, there is naturally no possibility of restoration.
Kerrigan and her team worked together with the Zerg swarm, with Kerrigan and Zhao Ganwu's critical hits tearing the magical skeleton apart.
The scattered bones were destroyed by the swarm of insects.
The most troublesome Vince was naturally left to Su Bai.
Su Bai stretched his neck, mustered all his strength, and leaped up.
With the help of his skills, he unleashed an amazing jumping power from his feet.
With a single leap, he was a head taller than Vince.
He slammed his palm hard onto Vince's skull.
Vince's prolonged lack of exercise caught him off guard, and he was slapped hard.
The cracks started to break off from the top of his head and spread downwards at a visible speed.
"ah---"
Vince roared angrily, and the entire hall trembled.
Whether it was a misperception or not, Su Bai suddenly felt that Aleister's skeleton was reacting.
Upon closer inspection, nothing had happened.
You must have misread it. They've been gone for a thousand years, what kind of reaction could they possibly have?
Su Bai composed himself and focused his energy back on dealing with Vince in front of him.
Vince raised his weapon again and slashed fiercely towards Su Bai.
Even though he's now just a skeleton, the muscle memory from his past glory on the battlefield still remains.
Each of his moves has a clear pattern.
It was by no means a random move.
Compared to those mindless magical skeletons.
It is clearly not on the same level as them.
This makes it much more complicated.
However, given that it was the masterpiece of the great magician Aleister, it's not surprising that it achieved such a level.
Su Bai felt a surge of excitement.
He's always been the type to get stronger after setbacks.
"Swarm, heed my command! Follow me into battle!"
Su Bai's voice was not loud, but it was powerful and resounding.
Apart from the Zerg swarm still supporting Kerrigan and Zhao Ganwu, the other Zerg began to stir rustlingly.
They gathered together and lined up in a well-trained formation in front of Su Bai.
The springtails raised their sharp claws high and leaped onto Vince's joints with astonishing elasticity.
The claws destroyed Vince's joints in an instant.
Even among bones, joints remain the Achilles' heel of the human body.
Without his joints, Vince became unsteady and could only futilely swing his blade in place.
"It's my turn!"
Su Bai shouted and drew his Longquan sword.
He stepped on the jumping insect and leaped up again.
This time, his target was Vince's wrist.
The sword's edge was sharp and piercing.
Clean and efficient, it severed its hands.
With a "bang," both hands were thrown to the ground.
For these skeletons, the brain is not their weakness.
On the contrary, any clever tricks are useless against them.
It's better to do things in the simplest way possible.
Vince, now without his weapon, suddenly appeared foolish.
It used its arms as weapons, waving them as if its hands hadn't been destroyed.
A portion of the insect swarm swiftly rushed towards the hands and weapons that had rolled to the ground, giving them no chance to recover.
Su Bai seized the opportunity and delivered a fatal blow to Vince.
His skills were already quite powerful, and with the added support of the elite swarm, they were even more formidable.
Vince, no longer at his peak, was no match for him.
"Boom!"
A loud bang echoed throughout the hall.
Vince collapsed under the blow.
"Su Bai!"
Kerrigan cried out in surprise, quickly diverting her attention to unleash a skill on the skeleton on the ground.
Thank you!
Su Bai cupped his hands in greeting, then quickly clenched his fists to regain his senses.
All the magical skeletons in the hall had been attacked, leaving behind a trail of shimmering white powder.
The annihilated powder danced in the air.
It seemed to be expressing its final resentment.
Su Bai stepped forward.
He crouched down and reached out to touch Vince's head.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Putting aside the enemy factor, Su Bai greatly respected those who would uphold their duties even in death.
He was a true general.
Vince seemed to sense something, and his skull vanished in an instant.
Perhaps he knew he had fulfilled his duties and it was time to leave.
After watching him leave, Su Bai got up and walked to the Aleister skeleton.
He reached out and helped him straighten up.
"Senior, I had no intention of disturbing you. If I have offended you, please forgive me."
During the battle, Su Bai felt something was wrong with his body.
Taking this opportunity, he was also secretly testing something with his hand.
I didn't find anything wrong.
Something seems off here.
The speaker was Zhao Ganwu.
His gaze fell behind the throne.
A blood-red stone staircase, exuding an eerie aura, stood out conspicuously from the rest of the steps.
"That's strange."
"Something is definitely not right."
Su Bai murmured, narrowing his eyes.
A strange light flashed in his eyes.
His eyes widened suddenly.
"This is!"
What Su Bai saw before him was an astonishing sight.
Four vengeful spirits are relentlessly whipping a humanoid soul in the middle.
The humanoid soul could only howl in agony, utterly powerless to retaliate.
He held his head in his hands, and Su Bai couldn't make out who he was.
It would be difficult for anyone to remain unmoved by such a horrifying sight.
Su Bai composed himself and used the power of the [Eye of Insight] to make it visible.
Zhao Ganwu clenched his fist first.
"It's an invisible unit!?"
Su Bai remained silent.
Just as he was pondering a solution, he suddenly heard Zhao Ganwu shout in a low voice.
"They've revealed themselves! Everyone be careful!"
The small yet powerful jumping insects have always been the main force of the team. As they retreated, they screamed and charged towards the vengeful spirit.
This attack was like punching thin air.
like water off a duck's back.
Although it is visible, it has no physical form.
"Hey! I don't believe it!"
Zhao Ganwu channeled the power within his bloodline and unleashed a powerful punch.
Like the swarm of jumping insects, his fist pierced straight through the bodies of the vengeful spirits.
"The things here are all incredibly strange!"
Zhao Ganwu waved his hand, his face full of frustration.
Although the ability of the Eye of Insight can make them visible, physical attacks still don't count.
This is tricky.
Even Zhao Ganwu's fists were ineffective, so he didn't think his fists could be any more effective.
Su Bai clicked his tongue.
"Get out of the way!"
Upon hearing the sound, Su Bai and Zhao Ganwu quickly moved aside to either side.
"How……"
Before Zhao Ganwu could finish speaking, a dazzling light shot out from his eyes.
It strikes directly at the vengeful spirit's forehead.
"...Nothing."
The moment the words were spoken, the vengeful spirit vanished without a trace.
Zhao Ganwu remained silent.
Su Bai also fell silent.
"Looks like my fists are more effective."
Kerrigan rubbed her wrist, a smile playing on her lips.
A beautiful glow enveloped her fist.
That was the afterimage of psionic power.
"As expected of the Queen of Blades."
Zhao Ganwu was amazed.
There aren't many women he can admire, but Kerrigan is definitely one of the best.
"snort."
Kerrigan gave a haughty snort and raised her hand to send three more blows flying.
They also captured the remaining three vengeful spirits.
The entity that had just given Su Bai and Zhao Ganwu a headache vanished without a trace, leaving not even ashes behind.
Seeing her decisive and efficient movements, Zhao Ganwu shuddered.
What a terrifying woman.
Su Bai helped the human soul, which had collapsed to the ground, to its feet.
After seeing the shackles on his ankles, he gave Kerrigan a wink.
Kerry willingly understood and raised his hand to break the shackles.
Are you alright?
Su Bai spoke softly.
"ah……"
The human soul slowly realized that it was no longer in a situation where it was being attacked.
He slowly raised his head, revealing his aged face.
It was a perfect match for that legendary face.
"Aleister!?"
Kerrigan gasped in surprise.
"Senior, how could you..."
Su Bai stared wide-eyed, unable to believe the scene before her.
How could the famous great magician Aleister be trapped in his own palace?
He was also whipped by vengeful spirits of unknown origin from all directions.
Upon hearing the familiar name, a glint of light flashed in Aleister's eyes.
His previously cloudy eyes gradually became clear.
He spoke slowly, like a gear that hadn't been used in a long time starting to turn.
His voice was hoarse and aged.
"It's amazing that anyone still remembers me... I don't know how long it's been since I last heard this name."
This statement further confirms his identity.
"senior."
Su Bai hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
