Chapter 386 -386-Summoning the Skeleton King
In his rule-state form, Caelan still wore a cold, indifferent expression.
However, his gaze still shifted toward Yorick and Karsus.
That was because he could clearly sense that something terrifying seemed to be gestating inside the grave in front of Yorick.
The power of death rules seemed to be mixed with resentment, as well as Yorick’s own power.
These mottled rule powers were all stirred together, giving off an unprecedented sense of chaos.
"Die!!"
Karsus’s furious roar suddenly came from the direction of the grave.
The next moment, countless torn pages of the Requiem of Death shot toward Caelan like sharp swords.
Karsus was clearly buried deep underground and could not see anything at all.
Yet somehow, he was still able to lock onto Caelan’s position with absolute precision.
In the blink of an eye, the swords formed from the Requiem of Death collided with Caelan’s spatial blade storm.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Violent explosions immediately rang out.
Faced with rule power so dense with the aura of death, even the spatial blade storm could not easily destroy it for a time.
Seeing that the battle had entered a stalemate, Yorick let out a deep sigh of relief and tossed the shovel in his hand to the side.
But in the next moment, that shovel, which had contained the power of rules, seemed to become a husk drained of all essence. It instantly collapsed before Yorick’s eyes, crumbling into a pile of dust.
Yorick had long since expected this outcome.
But when he saw the shovel that had accompanied him day and night completely destroyed just like that, endless sorrow immediately surged in his heart.
"Karsus, did you skip breakfast or what?! Put some strength into it! Kill that damned human!"
Karsus, buried deep underground, did not respond at all.
However, the density and waves of his attacks were indeed increasing.
Yorick even saw a mutated Skeleton King gripping a longsword as it crawled out from beneath the ground.
Looking at the terrifying aura emitted by the towering Skeleton King, Yorick even felt that this time, he would not only be able to escape alive, but might even be able to kill that damned human!
After all, even Yorick himself would not take the initiative to provoke the Skeleton King’s power.
"Roar!!!"
The Skeleton King gripped its giant sword and threw its head back, letting out an enraged roar.
However, in the next moment, spatial rifts of various sizes appeared around its body.
Every one of those spatial rifts left a shallow wound on the Skeleton King’s body.
The wounds were not large, but they were densely packed!
In the blink of an eye, the rule power inside its body was devoured bit by bit.
Realizing that it was being weakened, the Skeleton King let out an angry roar. At the same time, its enormous figure became exceptionally agile. Enduring the corrosion of the spatial rifts, it charged toward Caelan and brought its sword down directly at his head!
The giant sword stirred up a fierce gale in midair.
A cruel smile faintly appeared at the corners of the Skeleton King’s mouth.
Within its body was gathered the ultimate power of death—the combined rule power of Yorick and Karsus.
In its eyes, Caelan before it was merely a novice who had just grasped the power of rules. With a single sword strike, it could easily cleave him in half.
"Die!!"
Yorick widened his eyes, his gaze toward Caelan filled with expectation and a madness of destruction.
However, faced with the Skeleton King’s attack, Caelan merely raised his own longsword calmly!
The next moment, he lifted his hand and swung lightly.
An incomparably pure sword beam instantly slashed toward the Skeleton King’s giant sword.
"Bang!"
A massive energy turbulence surged outward from the violent collision.
At the same time, the giant sword was actually frozen in place!
The enormous sword and the longsword in Caelan’s hand created a tremendous contrast in size.
Yet even so, the longsword in Caelan’s hand remained completely unmoving, as though nothing could shake it.
Caelan slowly raised his head and looked calmly at the Skeleton King.
He said nothing.
But the Skeleton King understood his gaze!
That’s right.
Disdain.
Deep disdain.
It was as if, in Caelan’s eyes, the Skeleton King was no different from an ant!
This scene caused all the powerful beings still watching the battle from within the Abyss to reveal expressions of disbelief.
They simply could not understand how, with Lord Yorick and Lord Karsus joining forces, someone could still withstand the Skeleton King they had summoned.
And his strength was clearly only six-star!
At the bottom of the Abyss.
The palace of the Lord of Abyss had already become a field of ruins.
However, at the core of the palace, a Runic Array had completely protected one area.
More and more powerful demons in the Abyss sensed the fluctuations coming from the deepest part of the Abyss.
Thus, they gathered one after another toward the battlefield.
"My heavens, what am I looking at? The two overseers are actually fighting a Deathborn at the same time? And the other side is only a mere six-star?"
"What exactly is that huge Skeleton King? I’m already seven-star, so why can I still feel fear from the depths of my soul?"
"They’re fighting on our Abyss’s territory, and they even damaged the palace of His Majesty the Lord of Abyss. Isn’t he afraid that His Majesty will kill him in fury when he returns?"
"Haven’t you heard? His Majesty left the Abyss. It seems he went to the World of Myriad Races..."
More and more powerful demon race beings arrived at the deepest level of the Abyss.
They all watched the battle from afar, yet not a single powerful being stepped forward with the intention of helping.
They were very clear about their own strength.
If even the Abyss Overseers could not deal with this enemy, then if they went over, they would simply be delivering themselves to death.
It was just that...
Why would a Deathborn from the [Void Frontier] appear in the Abyss?
Under normal circumstances, Deathborn could not leave the [Void Frontier]. Their souls were all bound by rules.
Just as the powerful beings in the Abyss were discussing with one another—
Behind Caelan, a shadow suddenly condensed from countless strands of rule power.
The shadow’s appearance could not be seen clearly.
Nor could its figure be made out.
But while Caelan and the Skeleton King were locked in a stalemate, a green long whip formed from countless strands of Hellfire appeared in the shadow’s hand!
"Snap!"
The long whip was swung like a sword.
The next moment, the Skeleton King’s skull was actually pierced through by the whip with ease!
Blazing Hellfire instantly began burning across the Skeleton King’s body.
This was no ordinary Hellfire.
It was true vengeful flame, fused with the laws of hell!
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
In the blink of an eye, the Skeleton King’s frame was already covered in cracks.
