My starting summon is a small skeleton

Chapter 378: 375 Gate of the Dead



Name: 47th Apostle (Zhang Yun Chu)

Power: 2 Stars (King Level)

Summoned Beast: Evilized Skeleton King (King Level 2 Stars)

Mastered Skills: Undead Curse (Ultimate Skill) (Grandmaster)

Undead Magic (Killing Skill) (Grandmaster)

Mastered Domain: Realm of the Dead (Mastery Degree 45%)

Special Items: Gate of the Dead (Legendary Quality) (A special item that the 47th Apostle devoted tremendous effort to align with the talents of the Evilized Skeleton King, linking it to the Skeleton King and enabling the summoning of the Skeleton King and its minions from elsewhere when used.)

...

This, then, was the attribute panel of the 47th Apostle.

The skeleton head that roared towards Lu Wu was part of the system of Undead Magic.

As the skeleton head descended, Lu Wu felt his frenzied and suppressed emotions erupt in his heart, his surroundings beginning to corrode.

Clearly, this was a spell carrying both a spiritual attack and a corrosive attack.

Had the attack landed solidly, even a King Level 1 Star existence, if not killed, would be severely damaged.

However, Lu Wu also noticed that the opponent's attack seemed restrained, clearly indicating a desire to capture him alive.

To this, Lu Wu responded with a slight smile.

He unfurled the Senluo Wanxiang Domain.

While analyzing the spell on one hand, a surge of sword intent imbued with the aura of evil flames welled up from within him.

This was the evilized version of the Sword Style derived from absorbing the Ultimate Skill "Blast Fire Break" of the 71st Apostle. However, Lu Wu did not unleash this sword strike; instead, he used it as a defensive tactic against the skeleton head's attack, buying time to analyze the opponent's skill.

"Sword intent, huh? You've got some skills, kid!"

As Lu Wu's "Evil Fire Sword Intent" emerged, the 47th Apostle's eyebrows lifted and the corners of his mouth curled upwards.

"Let's see how many of my attacks your pitiful sword intent can withstand!"

As he spoke, the 47th Apostle raised his hand and instantly, another black skeleton head fell.

The new skeleton head, even more terrifying than the previous, made Lu Wu's sword intent waver.

The 47th Apostle did not stop there, intensifying his attacks.

Next came a rain of black bone spears, black bone hammers, black long spears...

One after another, dreadful spells rained down.

Each spell that fell caused Lu Wu's sword intent to waver even more.

And it was not just Lu Wu's sword intent wavering; the City Lord Mansion, engulfed by the 47th Apostle, also shook with each spell, the shockwaves toppling many of the mansion's buildings.

Those within the domain faced even worse luck, with quite a few dying from the collateral damage.

Even City Lord Liuchuan Tie Mu could only huddle with his son, shivering on the sidelines.

His son, looking up at the 47th Apostle relentlessly assaulting the skies, seemed to regard him as a deity.

Seeing Lu Wu under attack by such a powerful "deity," Liu Chuancheng thought that the arrogant swindler from earlier must now be left without even a hair.

Liuchuan Tie Mu seized the opportunity to impart a lesson to his son.

"Son, remember, when the weak face the strong, they must maintain sufficient respect.

To be overly arrogant is a foolish path to courting death.

Just like that real estate agent!"

Liu Chuan became nodded his head solemnly.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't become a real estate agent, and I certainly won't be as foolish as him!"

As Liu Chuan became nodded seriously, above his head, the attack of the 47th Apostle underwent a different change.

Each of his attacks made Lu Wu's Sword Intent waver, but he could never take Lu Wu down, and this was starting to annoy him.

He was now preparing to hit Lu Wu hard and take him down completely.

"Be alert, the 47th is unleashing his power, that real estate agent's downfall is coming with this strike."

Liuchuan Tie Mu whispered, sensing the situation.

As he spoke, the 47th Apostle spread his hands, and a deep gray aura coiled around them.

This was the aura of a curse, the 47th's Ultimate Skill "Undead Curse."

"Taste despair!"

The low chant of the 47th, the curse descended, and the moment the curse fell, the air seemed to freeze. Liu Chuan father and son felt breathless, their eyes fixed on that gray aura.

Watching it slowly fall towards Lu Wu below.

At this moment, on Lu Wu's side, the evil energy surrounding him dispersed as the curse fell, exposing his figure.

At this glance, Lu Wu appeared so weak, pitiable, and helpless in the eyes of the Liu Chuan father and son.

This was a man destined to be crushed!

However, just when they were certain Lu Wu was done for, Lu Wu suddenly raised his head and thrust out his finger as if it were a sword.

With this strike, Lu Wu unleashed his full power with "Universal Enhancement," released the "Evil Energy Transformation" and fused the skills "Cold Ice Body," "Frozen Ray," "Absolute Freeze," and the "Power of the Ocean" in one mighty blow.

The sword thrust sent a surge of evil-tinged, icy Sword Qi skyward.

The sharp Sword Qi, carrying the essence of the ocean and extreme cold, instantly covered dozens of meters around Lu Wu in a thin layer of ice, freezing the curse's aura where Lu Wu's finger pointed.

"Impossible!"

Color drained from the 47th's face as he showed an expression of disbelief.

Then, the remnants of the extreme cold Sword Qi, having frozen the curse's aura, surged forward. This Sword Qi was so sudden that the 47th had no time to react; he was immediately pierced through the left shoulder.

Blood blossomed, and a bone-chilling pain spread with the cold.

This being, who appeared like a demon god in Liu Chuan's eyes, let out a pained wail.

The sight stunned Liu Chuan and his son.

Clearly, they had not expected the 47th Apostle, strong as a demon god, not only to fail in taking Lu Wu down after using his ultimate skill but to be wounded by Lu Wu instead.

After this sword strike, the situation was suddenly reversed.

Just moments ago, the 47th who was bombarding from high above and held the absolute upper hand was now brought low, clutching his frozen half-body and howling in pain.

And Lu Wu, who was just receiving blows, was now stepping forward on ice, his presence commanding and overwhelmingly majestic.

"So this is your strength as the 47th Apostle.

If this is all the strength you have, you might die here today, and I will take your place!"

Hearing these words, the 47th Apostle's body trembled.

He struggled to stand up straight.

"Father!"

On the other side, Liu Chuan Cheng looked nervously at his own father. If Lu Wu killed that presence, it seemed that they would be next.

"Don't worry, the 47th won't lose."

Liuchuan Tie Mu patted his son, offering reassurance.

But Liu Chuancheng's gaze remained fixed on the 47th Apostle, his face full of panic, clearly disbelieving.

At the same time, the 47th Apostle, standing before Lu Wu with a pierced shoulder, clutched at his wound and, trembling, a burst of evil energy shook away the ice encasing half of his body.

The pain on his face gradually faded, and his expression slowly calmed as he looked directly at Lu Wu opposite him.

"It seems I have underestimated you, after all.

Judging by that last sword, you should possess power between 60 and 50. No wonder you are so arrogant with such strength, but it's not enough in front of me!"

While speaking, the 47th Apostle gradually released the hand pressing on his shoulder and began to stand upright bit by bit.

"I had thought about sparing your life so that you could work under me, but since you aim to defeat, even kill me, and take over the glory of the 47th Apostle, I can only grant you death.

Boy, pay for your foolishness!"

"Blah, blah, blah!"

Lu Wu raised his hand and sent another sword qi slashing out.

Facing this sword qi, the 47th Apostle didn't offer any resistance, even spreading his arms to welcome it.

And as he spread his arms, at the same moment Lu Wu's sword qi slashed out, a necklace with a tiny gate pendant on the 47th Apostle's chest lit up, and a black gate appeared before him. A bone hand extended from the gate, grabbed the incoming sword qi, and with a gentle squeeze and a 'crack,' shattered it.

Immediately after, the owner of the bone hand emerged from the black gate.

A terrifying and powerful aura surged forth.

This was an extremely rare Summoned Beast from the Undead Type Bone Series, the very one Lu Wu had seen from his attribute panel, the "Evilized Skeleton King."

As it appeared, Lu Wu seriously observed its attributes.

...

Name: Evilized Skeleton King

Power: 2 Stars (King Level)

Quality: Legendary (Enhanced)

Attributes: Undead, Skeleton, Evil

State: Confused (Evil energy is eliminating its final shred of rationality; it has practically become senseless.)

Weakness: Light (Strong)

Companion Weapon: Bone Staff (Legendary) (The inherent weapon of the Skeleton King, capable of increasing the combat power of its Undead forces.)

Killing Skill: Soldier Enhancement (Grandmaster)

Ultimate Skill: Undead Army Might (Grandmaster)

Secret Skill: King's Will (Master)

Summoned Beast Domain: King's Domain (Bone) (Mastery 47%)

Summoned Beast Talent: King of Skeletons (An advanced version of your Little Skeleton's Skeleton Commander, able to strengthen subordinates in the name of the king, enhancing its own power.)

Description: This is a Summoned Beast oriented towards command; on its own it may be average at King Level 2 Stars, but with its forces, it becomes terrifyingly formidable.

...

As Lu Wu scrutinized the attributes of this Summoned Beast,

The corrupted Skeleton King raised the bone staff in its hand high, and in an instant, its "King's Domain" sprang open.

King's Domain is among the most dominant of domains.

As it opened, other domains began to collapse, even its master's Realm of the Dead could only be overridden. However, Lu Wu's "Senluo Wanxiang Domain" was barely affected.

Because his domain was auxiliary in nature, silent and unnoticed, it wasn't detected or repelled by the other party.

As the "King's Domain" unfolded, wave after wave of Summoned Beasts began to emerge from that black Gate.

Leading them were eighteen Bone Dragons at the peak of Lord 3 Stars followed by hundreds of Skeleton Generals of Lord Level.

These guys, once they appeared, packed the City Lord Mansion to the brim.

The terrifying and powerful Skeleton Army spread their might, and the 47th Apostle, who had been cut by Lu Wu, returned to his original position, hovering in mid-air, overseeing the encircled Lu Wu.

A look of utter confidence, a smile that seemed to control everything, graced his face.

Looking down at Lu Wu, whose face showed shock at the sight of the Skeleton King's minions, he proudly said,

"Kid, the battle, oh no, the massacre, is just beginning now!

Savor what true despair feels like!

Attack, kill him for me!"

At the 47th Apostle's command, the hand wielding the Bone Staff by the Evilized Skeleton King swiped, and the massive Skeleton Army immediately sprang into action.

At the same time, a myriad of Skills erupted.

"Soldier Enhancement" descended, bolstering the Skeleton Army's might.

"Undead Army Might" descended, consolidating the Skeleton Army into a whole, their power soaring even further.

Hundreds of Lord-Level Undead erupted with a terror surpassing that of Lords and even King-Level beings. With unstoppable divine might, they converged on Lu Wu.

It was a scene of utter despair.

Seeing this, Liuchuan Tie Mu, whose heart had been secretly suspended, finally relaxed and said to his son, "See, this is the true power of the 47th.

In front of his vast Undead Army, a mere house agent counts for nothing.

Even someone as strong as the 47th keeps such a low profile. We should be even more modest and humble, remember, don't be too much of a house agent!"

"The 47th is indeed powerful!

Father, rest assured, I will never be a house agent!" responded Liu Chuan Cheng, accepting his father's teachings while his eyes remained fixed on the eighteen Bone Dragons of the Undead Army.

"Father, why aren't those Bone Dragons moving?" he asked.

Liuchuan Tie Mu glanced over with some confusion as well, "Perhaps to deal with just a mere house agent, they're not needed!"

Meanwhile, the 47th Apostle was also somewhat perplexed upon seeing the eighteen additional Bone Dragons.

He, too, was wondering when these Bone Dragon minions had joined the ranks of the Skeleton King.

"Uh, it seems it's not just the Bone Dragons that have increased in number, but also some Lord-Level subordinates."

However, the 47th Apostle did not suspect anything.

After all, he usually kept his Undead Army in a Secret Realm only he knew about.

That Secret Realm was immensely vast, and from time to time, a few new minions would appear under the Skeleton King's command. Although there were a bit more new minions this time, and they were a bit more powerful, it still seemed normal.

Besides, there weren't just the powerful Bone Dragon troops that increased in number, but also some rather silly creatures.

The 47th Apostle even noticed that among the Skeleton Army, a clueless Little Skeleton holding a mobile phone had slipped in.

That fellow was incredibly dim-witted. As everyone charged forward, it just stood there, holding a mobile phone, blinking at Lu Wu on the other side, not knowing what to watch.

"Is this Little Skeleton also at Lord Level? How can it be so dumb if it hasn't been Evilized? And what's with the mobile phone in its hand?"

The 47th Apostle was a bit curious.

But first, he set his curiosity aside, focusing his attention on Lu Wu.

He wanted to watch this foolish man die!!!
