Skeleton King

Ace shuttled quickly through the forest, and he had reached the fastest speed. In his eyes, the trees on both sides retreated rapidly, and they had become phantoms.It is not that there are thorns and weeds in front of Ace. There is a silver light flashing on the necromancer staff in his hand. The staff is like a sharp blade, removing all obstacles in front of Ace.

All the thorns fell to the ground, and the road in front of Ace became unobstructed.

It's just that no matter how fast Ace is, he still runs on two legs on the ground. The figure of the man in black robe in the air is like a huge bat. He is like a dark cloud, always covering Ace's head.

In this way, Ace and the man in black, one on the ground and the other in the sky, quickly entered the depths of the monster forest.

Ace doesn't know how long he has been running. In short, since he came to this world, he has not run as much as he does today.It wasn't until Ace ran to the edge of a large canyon that he stopped. Under the brown, steep cliff, there was an invisible deep valley bottom. Even if you threw a stone down, it was difficult to hear the echo.The bottom of the valley may be brown land, it may be a rushing river, or it may be the residence of monsters.

Although Ace has a place to avoid high-level monsters, they have gone deep into the forest of monsters now, and fourth- and fifth-level monsters are not uncommon here.Moreover, many monsters live in groups in the forest of monsters. When they come, they are a group. Even if the man in black accidentally encounters them, he can only hide first.

The other side of the Grand Canyon is extremely far away from Ace. Unless he can fly like the man in black, he will never be able to jump over it.

The man in black was not in a hurry, he stopped not far from Ace.

Ace was standing on the edge of the canyon, and behind him was a cliff. He was so tired that he sat down on the edge of the cliff.

Ace sat down facing the black-robed man in this way. A few steps ahead of him was an eighth-level magician, and behind him was a bottomless cliff. The chilly wind blew across Ace's back, bringing him Come cool off.

Seeing Ace sit down, the man in black said, "What does this mean? Do you want to negotiate peace with me?"

Ace shook his head, and under the puzzled eyes of the man in black, said: "No. I just want to give us a chance to talk freely. Last time we met, I was still your prisoner, and you didn't treat me as an equal. People, I have kept a lot of secrets from you, I think we can get to know each other again, and maybe we will have new discoveries."

The man in black raised his staff and pointed it at Ace, "I don't think I have anything to say to a dying person."

Ace seemed to be the one who was pointed at the head, and he said relaxedly: "But for me, death is not the end. For you, dead people are of little value."

The man in black said with great interest: "You are a necromancer."

The man in the black robe used affirmative sentences, not interrogative sentences.In fact, when Ace summoned the skeleton in front of the man in black at the Magic Tower, it was impossible to conceal his identity.

The man in black: "You became a necromancer before you went to the magic tower?"

Ace looked at the man in black, "Actually, I'm also a little curious about you."

The man in black knew that Ace would not answer his doubts for no reason, so he lowered the staff in his hand a little, and said, "Just ask."

Ace: "I think I'm entitled to know your name this time."

In the magic tower, after Ace made the magic potion, the black robe asked Ace's name, saying that he was not qualified to be a passerby.But the man in black never told Ace his name. After letting Ace and Nou escape from the magic tower, he didn't even find out the origin of the man in black.

The lips of the man in black were very thin. When he hooked up slightly just now, there was still some blood, but when Ace asked his name, his lips were drawn into a line, as if Ace had touched a certain taboo.

Ace felt uneasy, he put his hands into his arms secretly, and held the bone staff, but just when Ace thought that the man in black would not answer, the voice of the man in black mixed with the wind in the canyon spread to Ace. In Si's ear, "Bill."

Ace raised his eyebrows, "Bill, this is your name, what's your last name?"

The man in black raised the staff a little higher, aiming at Ace's forehead, "My name is Bill, I don't have a last name."

Ace was a little startled, there were very few people in the Pansy Empire without a surname.Even an illegitimate child like Jonah Flynn, or an unadopted abandoned baby, will be uniformly given a surname by the lord of the place, unless they are slaves, and slaves do not have a surname.

But the man in black is a magician, and Ace has never heard that magicians are slaves.

Ace wanted to say that the black-robed man was deceiving, but he saw the black-robed man's tightly pursed lips and impatient expression, so he wisely stopped dwelling on this issue.

The man in black: "It's your turn. Did you become a necromancer before going to the magic tower?"

Ace: "Several years ago, once, my father took me out to do errands, and I accidentally fell into a tomb, which was the tomb of a necromancer. At that time, there were undead guards in the tomb, so I had to accept the necromancer's advice. inherited."

A light flickered in the eyes of the man in black, and he didn't know if he could judge the authenticity of Ace's words. He looked satisfied with what Ace said.

Ace: "Where are you from?"

The man in black robe answered the question very simply this time, "Magic Island."

Magic Island, this is a place where the power of one island has kept the peace of the mainland for hundreds of years, and it is a holy place for all magicians.

The man in black actually came from Magic Island?

Ace couldn't believe it, but the black-robed man was unknown on the mainland, but he was powerful. Magic Island is indeed a good explanation.Ace leaned forward and looked up at the man in black robe. He was a bit like a little leopard, ready to go.

However, the man in black took a step forward, and Ace woke up instantly. Ace stretched out his hands from his arms and put them on the ground on both sides, signaling that he had no other intentions.

The man in black: "Even if you have the inheritance of a necromancer, you have never been in touch with making magic potions. In fact, I knew that you were really talented when you made potions for the first time. Some magicians need it very much." An assistant like you, if you don't practice undead magic, if you don't... cut off my hand."

Ace interjected, and he spoke quickly, "Some magic potions, although very rare for a little noble like me, you must know that they can revive the dead."

The black-robed man: "The living dead, no, that's what your necromancers are good at. Even magicians on the magic island can't do it. I do know that the magic potion of flesh and bones is available on the magic island. Not only do I know, I have also made it. But leaving the magic island, no matter how big the Pansy Empire is or how prosperous the Finger Empire is, it will be difficult to gather the raw materials I want.”

The man in black took another step forward, aiming the staff in his hand between Ace's eyebrows, "I'm more curious about another thing. You came to me on your own initiative, what cards do you have?"

"Hailan staff, you can use it to cast the forbidden spell, but if you haven't finished singing the forbidden spell, your life will be gone. At that time, you can use it to the end with me, but I will let you sing that Is it a lot?"

"Undead magic, the difference in level cannot be crossed. No matter how mysterious those ignorant people blow undead magic, it can't escape the category of magic. You don't want to settle accounts with me after I die of old age, do you? I stay in the magic island However, I know more than ordinary magicians, the area of ​​the dead world is wider than our plane, can you find an undead who doesn't know when and where he died?"

The wind in the canyon is particularly strong, and the wind element here is also extremely strong.

Here, the strength of the man in black can be maximized. He doesn't believe that Ace can escape from his palm this time.The man in black couldn't help wondering whether this node between the canyon and the world of the dead corresponds to a mysterious place in the world of the dead. This is the cemetery that Ace chose for himself?

Ace lowered his head, and the man in black couldn't see his expression clearly. Ace said: "My hole card, my swordsman's strength is not worth mentioning. You guessed it right, it has something to do with undead magic."

"That's the real capital that I can gain a foothold in this world." Ace raised his head, the wind messed up his hair, but it didn't move his expression in the slightest.

The man in the black robe was a little uneasy. He felt that Ace was bluffing, and he also felt that Ace was not a random person.

It seems that the man in black robe doesn't take Ace seriously at all, but in fact, there are sixteen small transparent shields around the man in black robe. These small shields are constantly changing positions, protecting the man in black robe tightly. .

The man in black looked directly at Ace's beautiful green eyes, and he wanted to see what cards Ace had.

Ace smiled and winked at the man in black, then he fell back and fell directly off the cliff!

The man in black took a step forward subconsciously, and he saw Ace sliding down the smooth cliff wall to the bottom of the valley.Before, the man in black robe and Ace came from another direction, so the man in black robe didn't know that the cliff on this side of the canyon was not as steep as the other side, but smooth as a mirror.

But Ace can hide from the man in black for a while, can he escape from the sky?

The canyon is bottomless, and the man in black has no intention of going down to find Ace, that's what a swordsman would do, and he is a noble magician.

The man in black stretched out his left hand, holding a brown staff in his hand. He chanted a spell silently, and all the wind elements in the world surrounded him, becoming his eyes and his strength.

The man in black "seeed" the rushing river and the hideous boulders at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. He saw Ace slowly sliding down the bottom of the valley, and he took out from his arms... no... what Ace took out was not a bone. The magic staff, but four very small crystal nuclei, about the size of the magic crystal of a first-level monster, those crystal nuclei are blue, originally invisible to the black-robed man, but those crystal nuclei are getting bluer and bluer, Brighter and bigger...

No, it's not that the crystal nuclei got bigger, it's that they flew up!

Those soul crystals turned into skeleton knights. They rode skeleton horses and quickly came to the canyon along the walls of the Grand Canyon.A skeleton knight with the most blue light on his body was suspended in mid-air, and the other three skeleton knights stood on the canyon, and their four skeleton knights happened to surround the man in black.

The small 16-yuan shield that was originally stationary around the man in black rapidly changed its position. The original transparent color of the small shield also turned into a light blue color due to the infusion of magic power.

The wind in the canyon was too strong, the hat of the man in black had already been blown off, and his already pale face was even bloodless now. No magician would be willing to fight at close quarters with a knight of not low level.

Magicians are good at long-distance combat, casting spells under the protection of countless swordsmen.

The man in black didn't dare to move now. He can indeed cast magic instantly. He is an eighth-level magician and can cast sixth-level magic instantly, but it is definitely not a group attack magic.He can only destroy one skeleton knight at most, and then he will be killed by the other three skeleton knights.

If the people in black robes are facing ordinary sixth-level swordsmen, those swordsmen will still have fear, fear of pain, and fear of death, but the people in black robes are facing skeleton knights, and they don't have such abundant emotions. Only loyal to the necromancer who summoned them.

The man in black knows that he and Ace have reached a dead end. He could say that he was careless last time, but this time, he will definitely publicize the fact that Ace is a necromancer.Viscount Neumann can't keep Ace, and Duke Green can't keep Ace, no one can keep Ace.

The man in black doesn't believe that the skeleton knight was summoned by Ace. The necromancer can only summon undead creatures one level lower than them, and the number of undead creatures summoned and the time those undead creatures stay in the world are limited.

In the eyes of the man in black, Ace must have obtained a high-level necromancer's inheritance. Only such a precious inheritance can have such a high-level soul crystal.It's just that last time in the Magic Tower, Ace's strength couldn't drive them. The man in black really hated that he didn't search them well.

"There is no other way." The man in black murmured.

As long as the man in black doesn't want to die here today, he has to pay some price.But he might be able to make up some of the damage if he can get a living Ace and squeeze out what's in his head.

The black-robed man moved his left wrist, and the staff in his hand drew a small circle, and the black-robed man rose high into the sky.

The four skeleton knights followed closely behind the man in black and also went into the air.

Undead creatures in the dead world are not like those in the real world, but some people have affinity for magic elements, and most people cannot perceive magic elements.All undead creatures in the dead world are born to use magic, and their most powerful magic is their undead attribute.

At the same time, in the process of undead creatures advancing, in addition to their bones becoming harder, their soul crystals will be more solidified, and they will automatically comprehend undead magic.Because of this, General Arnold told Ace at that time that the city can live in countless skeletons, but if each skeleton has enough magic elements to cultivate, it can only limit the number to 500 million.

As for the sixth-level skeleton knights, they can already walk in the air with their skeleton horses.

Although the speed of the man in black is faster, unless he keeps going into the air, if he wants to fly out of the Grand Canyon, he must break through the blockade of the skeleton knight.And the magician and the skeleton knight fought at close range, and they would undoubtedly die.

At this time, Ace was still in the valley of the Grand Canyon. In his eyes, the man in black and the four skeleton knights had become little dots.

Ace muttered words, and blue light spots appeared on the tip of the bone staff. These light spots entered the river, and the water in the river flowed back into the air. The water flow became a mirror in the air, showing the sky warring parties.

The man in black cast some kind of spell, forcing the four skeleton knights back a few steps from him.

Then the dark blue, near-black rays of light on the four skeleton knights flourished, and they no longer tried to attack, but wanted to capture the man in black directly.The skeleton horse ran like walking on the ground, and the skeleton knights raised their spears and stabbed the man in black.

At this critical moment, Ace also thought that the black-robed man would be caught without a fight except for a deadly fight.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." The man in black howled very sharply.

Not only Ace at the bottom of the valley covered his ears, even the skeleton knight who had lost his hearing barely stabilized his body on the skeleton horse.This is a sonic attack, the magical elements are surging in the air, and no living or dead creature can be completely unaffected.

This is a means for the black-robed man to save his life, a skill that can only be used once in a lifetime, because such a howl cannot be tolerated by human throats, although the skeleton knights do not know, but they also know that such a powerful skill black-robed man cannot It may be used again immediately.The skeleton knights took a few steps back and surrounded the black-robed man in the air a little further away. When the fire of their souls calmed down again, it was the time for the black-robed man to die!

However, don't the people in black know this?

The brown eyes of the man in black looked at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. There was a trace of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and he showed a decisive smile. If his heart was not cruel, how could he leave the magic island? How could he be on this continent? Up and down freely.Not only the despair of others is a game, but so is his pain.

The right hand of the man in black is gone, and his left hand cannot let go of the magic staff.

The man in black stood in the air, turning slowly, no matter how he moved, there were at least three skeleton knights in his line of sight.The man in black slowly lowered his head, his chin pressed against the skin of his neck, and his tongue licked around the collarbone...

In the valley of the Grand Canyon, Ace saw the black-robed man clenching a golden chain on his teeth in the mirror made of water waves. Ace heard his heart beating, and he knew that this was the decision of their life and death. The last moment of death.

The black-robed man shook his head violently, and a golden droplet-shaped pendant was exposed around his neck, which was brighter than the light from the soft moon in the middle of the night. The pendant was like a star, suddenly shining brightly.

Both Ace and the Skeleton Knight thought it was a magic item, even close to a legendary item.

But to everyone's surprise, the man in black finally bit the pendant with his teeth, and he bit off the necklace connecting the pendant with his teeth, and then directly swallowed the pendant.

The fire of the skeleton knight's soul has not completely calmed down, and the behavior of the man in black robe is too weird. They want to see if there is any change in the man in black robe, but at this time, Ace's voice rang in their minds. Command, "Now! Kill him!"

The magician will definitely lose if the swordsman with the same level is close to him.

Originally, Ace wanted the skeleton knight to capture the black-robed man alive. Although the black-robed man was dead, he could also know a lot of information from the black-robed man's undead, but some things are always easier for the living than for the dead.Even if the possibility is extremely low, Ace has the idea of ​​subduing the man in black.

But there are too many people in black robes, and Ace doesn't want to procrastinate any longer, so as not to cause complications.He directly asked the skeleton knight to kill the man in black!

If it is a summoned undead creature or a soul crystal inherited by Ace from the land of inheritance, those skeletons will indeed obey Ace's orders, but they will still resist when they may hurt themselves.Ace must have a stronger will than them to drive them. Even if Ace wins, it will waste a lot of time.

But these four skeleton knights were sent by General Arnold to protect Ace. Ace is their Highness who has been waiting for thousands of years, and he is the one they want to protect when they die again.Ace's order, how could they hesitate?

The four skeleton knights stopped thinking about it and rushed towards the man in black.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah." The pendant was indeed not like a precious magic item. On his hands, all his exposed skin began to bleed.

His skin seemed to be cracked and turned into pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

He curled up in mid-air, shivering, in pain beyond control.

In the valley of the Grand Canyon, when Ace saw such a man in black robe, he thought of Noou in pain in the secret room of the magic tower, but now, he has no pleasure in revenge.He only wanted the man in black to die quickly so that he could feel at ease. He felt that the surrounding magical elements were getting more and more wrong, and these magical elements were gathering towards the man in black.

The left hand of the black-robed man dropped the staff he had been holding, allowing the staff to fall from mid-air.He took out an ordinary money bag from his robe, but he was in so much pain that his hands trembled from the pain, and he was about to lose his mind from the pain. Rip that purse.

Dozens of high-grade magic crystals fell out of the ordinary money bag. They only shone brightly in this world for a while, and then quickly dimmed and even disappeared directly.

These many high-level magic crystals can even support the use of teleportation formations thousands of times, how could they just disappear?

"He's advancing!" Ace yelled, and at the same time, these voices were transmitted to the skeleton knight through the wave of magic.The skeleton knights wanted to interrupt the black-robed man's advancement, but the magic elements around the black-robed man were too strong. These light-attributed magical elements were dense enough to be the natural enemies of undead creatures.

After Ace took out the soul crystal, the skeleton knight who first appeared in front of the black-robed man was also the closest to the black-robed man at this time, but he used all his strength to move forward one step, but he was still three steps away from the black-robed man Far, these three steps are so close.

The dark clouds in the sky also disappeared, no, all the clouds, they were all blown away by the wind.

The moonlight is more grand, and the wind in the canyon is more fierce. These wind elements are screaming and dancing, and there will be another ninth-level wind mage in this world.

Ace stood quietly in the river, and he didn't even notice that the river overflowed his knees.

The black-robed man straightened his body again in the air. He spread five fingers of his left hand, and a huge black palm print appeared in mid-air. The closest and most powerful skeleton knight was photographed by the black palm print, and then the second skeleton knight , the third skeleton knight...

Ninth-level magician, this is a new field, and it is no longer something that a few skeleton knights can stop.A ninth-level magician can already cast seventh-level spells instantly, and the time for him to chant eighth-level spells will also be shortened. As long as he is given enough time, the man in black can even cast ninth-level magic in the canyon.

so powerful.

Before Ace left the river, he saw the fourth skeleton knight being photographed by the man in black, and the broken bones of the fourth skeleton knight also fell to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, beside Ace.

There is no soul fire on these bones anymore, they are just ordinary bones.

And the man in black is in the air above Ace's head.

This time, there was no other obstacle between him and Ace.
