Chapter 431 - 427: The Truth Behind the Undead Catastrophe
Chapter 431: Chapter 427: The Truth Behind the Undead Catastrophe
Jie Ta’s burst of power cleared hundreds of meters in the Bone Grasslands, although it was visually impressive, it left the other creatures with little to do.
“Judging by the current trend, there seems to be no point in sticking around on the third level, shall we just head to the fourth level?”
Bai Qiucha looked around, observed the skeletal creatures that couldn’t appear due to the residual electrical energy on the ground, and proposed his suggestion.
“Sure, the guardian should be a skeletal creature of no low level.”
After he conquered the Nightmare Knight, the Death Knight appeared alongside a gigantic skeletal creature.
If he was not mistaken, that creature should have been the guardian.
If it were not for him thinking that plucking the bone dragon was an easier task, Bai Qi would have most likely come here to gather the materials for enhancing his Alpha’s abilities.
“A skeletal creature, huh? Let’s leave it to the bone dragon.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qiucha summoned the bone dragon. After a brief communication, it stretched its wings, ascended into the sky, and started looking around.
Soon, the bone dragon found their target.
A skeletal creature, as big as a tiger, completely covered in bone spurs.
[Name]:Thorn Tyrant
[Nature]: Undead
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level King
…
“Putting other things aside, this fellow is truly massive.”
Seeing the Thorn Tyrant, a few sizes larger than the bone dragon, Bai Qi couldn’t help but remark.
He didn’t feel it when being stepped on by the Death Knight, but facing it now, the oppressive feeling was instantly upon him.
Moreover, two Thorn Tyrants appeared at once.
“Judging from their energy, these two Thorn Tyrants should be of the sixth stage. Let’s get it done quickly.”
Bai Qiucha became serious. Two mid-level Kings of the sixth stage, if they got into a long battle, they would most likely be at a disadvantage.
After all, this kind of marvelous realm created by ferocious beasts wouldn’t fight you one-on-one. As soon as they let down their guard, the surrounding skeletal creatures would most definitely swarm them and trap them here.
“Only two? Since when did Twilight Tomb become so decent?”
Unlike Bai Qiucha’s caution, Bai Qi was actually surprised.
The guardians of the previous two levels always matched the number of his pets against the number of their enemies, summoning more as they came.
But this time, they had brought a legendary giant dragon, and they only summoned two Thorn Tyrants?
“Could this be the secret realm repair that the teacher mentioned before? It’s now based on the number of Beast Masters?”
Upon seeing Bai Qi’s dissatisfied look, Bai Qiucha couldn’t help but offer a wry smile.
He believed that Bai Qi could definitely handle these two enemies, but, wasn’t he a bit too relaxed?
Boom!
It seemed as if it detected the contempt from the two humans in front of it, so the Thorn Tyrant launched an attack first. Its claw, full of bone spurs, brutally aimed at the two, but was blocked by the bone dragon.
“Let’s take one each; the sooner it ends, the sooner we can explore the fourth level.”
Bai Qiucha controlling the bone dragon, dragged one Thorn Tyrant aside, and yelled in Bai Qi’s direction.
“No problem.”
Bai Qi nodded, his gaze sweeping over the six pets before finally settling on Alpha.
“Alpha, try the new skill.”
Gurgle Gurgle.
(No problem, Boss.)
Alpha stepped out of the team, faced the Thorn Tyrant charging towards them at high speed, and with a wave of his hand summoned countless bones buried underground. They emerged from the ground uncontrollably and tangled with each other to form an enormous Bone Cage, which forcefully blocked the Thorn Tyrant.
Skeletal Mastery allowed the user to effortlessly control all bone creatures within their perception, including themselves, for combat.
“This operation feels a bit like an Undead Mage.”
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi grinned; Bai Qiucha who was engaged in combat with the Thorn Tyrant on the side was also startled.
Many skeletal creatures could control other skeletons, but few could control them on such a large scale.
All of those who possessed this skill have left a deep impression in human history.
Undead Catastrophe.
“Bai Qi, did you ask me for the bone dragon’s skeleton to improve this skill?”
Bai Qiucha connected the changes in Alpha with the previous battle.
“That’s right, although I didn’t anticipate the effect to be this good.”
Bai Qi nodded, initially thinking he could only affect skeletal creatures within a small range. He didn’t expect Alpha to be capable of so much.
This was definitely the second surprise of the day, aside from Jie Ta’s wild battle.
“Be careful, don’t let people mistake you for an Undead Catastrophe.”
With good intentions, Bai Qiucha warned. The damage caused by the Undead Catastrophe to humans was not small. If controlled improperly, it could really cause some destruction.
“Don’t worry, it’s not that bad yet.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood and focused his spirit power on skeletal control.
[Skill Name]: Skeletal Mastery
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Description]: Manipulate skeletons within the sensing range.
[Skill Upgrade]: 1.Skeletal Dominator- Transcendent Level: Gain absolute control over the skeletal creatures within the sensing range and can even create skeletal creatures from corpses for personal use.
Upgrade Plan: Skeletal Mastery (Super-Perfect) -insufficient level + Soul Awakening (Super-Perfect) -missing=Skeletal Dominator
2. Undead Dominator- ???: Gain absolute control over the undead creatures within sensing range and can even create undead creatures from corpses for personal use.
Upgrade Plan: Skeletal Mastery(Super-Perfect)-insufficient level + Soul Awakening (Super-Perfect)-missing + Corpse Control (High Level-Perfect)-missing + Soul Control (Super-Perfect)-missing = Undead Dominator.
…
After Alpha obtained Skeletal Mastery, Bai Qi also tried to check it and smoothly obtained the upgrade scheme for Skeletal Mastery.
Skeletal Dominator, Undead Dominator.
Upon seeing these two evolution branches, Bai Qi understood the truth about the Undead Catastrophe.
Whether it was Skeletal Dominator or Undead Dominator, mastering one of these skills could trigger an Undead Catastrophe that all living creatures feared.
As for the current skeletal control, it could only control existing skeletons and did not have the ability to create them.
But, that was enough.
Bang! Bang! Bang!…
The Bone Cage constructed by Alpha’s Skeletal Mastery was significantly stronger than Thorn Tyrant had expected. It struggled for a while but couldn’t break free. Even if it was damaged, it would soon be filled by new skeletons.
In this Bone Grassland, skeletons were virtually limitless.
However, Thorn Tyrant was, after all, the Six Stage King. Observing that ordinary attacks couldn’t escape from Alpha’s Bone Cage, it let out an angry roar. Its entire body’s bone spurs shot out and broke the Bone Cage in an instant. They didn’t lose momentum and flew all around.
Seeing this, Alpha immediately built a Bone Wall in front of Bai Qi as protection. He himself wielded the Sword of Death and actively attacked Thorn Tyrant.
Taking the initiative was Alpha’s preferred fighting style.
Seeing Alpha daring to approach, Thorn Tyrant didn’t waste the opportunity. An infinity of bone spurs appeared again on its body, wildly extended like branches, occasionally shooting out a few for sneak attacks, not giving Alpha a chance to get close.
Thorn Tyrant’s most commonly used combat style involved this infinitely regenerating bone spur, effective in both long-range and close combat.
However, Alpha was not the least bit apprehensive about Thorn Tyrant’s attack. He skillfully dodged the unexpected bone spurs from Thorn Tyrant while slashing his sword towards it.
Ding!
Accompanied by a crisp sound, the sharp thorns on Thorn Tyrant’s body were instantly corroded by the Sword of Death, turned to ashes and scattered. The black Power of Death mercilessly spread along the skeleton towards Thorn Tyrant.
The appearance of the Power of Death made Thorn Tyrant feel threatened. It immediately discarded that part of its body. Its gigantic claw enveloped by Shadow Department Power fiercely struck Alpha from the other side.
With Thorn Tyrant’s strength, even if Alpha endured this attack, he would be forced to widen the gap. By then, it wouldn’t be so easy for Alpha to get closer again.
But just as Thorn Tyrant’s attack was about to hit Alpha, a bone wall suddenly sprang up from the ground, blocking Thorn Tyrant’s attack.
Immediately after, several more bone walls sprouted from the ground, quickly blocking off all movements of Thorn Tyrant’s limbs.
At the same time, Alpha leveraged his feet on the bone walls, turned into a phantom, and rushed in front of Thorn Tyrant’s skull. The Sword of Death firmly locked onto Thorn Tyrant’s Soul Flame.
Seeing this, Thorn Tyrant quickly extended its bone spurs, wrapping its entire head, and applied Shadow Department Power to it, greatly enhancing the strength of the bone spurs.
Whoosh…
With the sound of the howling gale, the Sword of the Wind Chaser flew past, instantly slicing the dense bone spurs into countless fragments, which fell to the ground.
Before Thorn Tyrant could construct a defense to counterattack, the Sword of Death pierced through Thorn Tyrant’s skull and mercilessly stabbed into the Soul Flame.
In an instant, the flame extinguished, and this huge skeletal giant beast collapsed with a bang, completely lifeless.
“Boss Alpha is amazing!”
Seeing that Alpha effortlessly took down Thorn Tyrant, the bug grass immediately started flattering, and the other pets were shocked by Alpha’s neat and efficient combat methods.
Indeed, it was a smart decision to cancel the internal team battle despite the Beast Master’s threats.
This terrifying fighting power, how could it be called a team battle? It was clearly a masochistic battle.
“Indeed, Bai Qi, you didn’t use all your strength when you fought with the Bone Dragon.”
Bai Qiucha gave a wry smile when he saw this. Although the Sword of the Wind Chaser and the Sword of Retributive Karma were also powerful, he knew very well that the Sword of Death was Alpha’s most powerful skill.
He had been so complacent about his soul communicator’s extraordinary abilities, but now it seemed that his pride was premature.
