Chapter 54
—–
The Skeleton Wizards are up to no good! They had begun to conjure some very BRIGHT magic.
I never expected skeletons, actual Undead, to be able to use Light Magic so proficiently!
It was as if they were custom made for me… Wait… Did the black-robed guy see us fight? Then it is possible that by seeing us fight, he created a way to counter my shadows and darkness with a very intense and flashing light.
I have to stop them!
“KAKAKA!”
CLASH!
However, as I rush to stop them, the Dark Skeleton Lord gets in my way.
Using his blade, he hits the ground and intimidates me to pull back.
Damn pile of bones!
I fire a barrage of arrow spears at him to move him away, but he resists them flawlessly. His skeleton and armor are pretty tough!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“Fuck, Lucifer, Partner, how are you two?”
Both of them finished weakening most of the bandits, but some are still intact.
“We still got some that need to be hit!”
“Lucifer can do it alone, master! Let me help!”
Partner speaks rather eloquently as she wants to join me.
I guess this will be a girl and girl team up!
“Alright, Partner, I choose you!”
FLASH!
I throw a ball made of shadows before Partner emerges from them.
What a nice actress I am!
The Skeletons are horrified as they see my precious Partner emerge, her aura of darkness and blood like a stream of deadly essence.
She glares at them as her black hair waves menacingly!
“HAAAH!”
Partner rushes upfront as she uses her trusty spear and bathes the skeleton army with powerful spear thrust attacks. It was like a wave of attacks done by an entire army!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
BOOOM!
All the skeletons are blown into the air.
Is she playing a Warriors game or something?!
“KAKAKA!”
However, the Dark Skeleton Lord confronts her as it laughs maniacally.
Its blade falls over her like a guillotine of darkness, but she evades swiftly and counterattacks with three consecutive spear attacks!
The Dark Skeleton Lord manages to block the attack with his massive demonic sword!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“Kakaka…!”
“Tough… Master, I will take care of it…! You go kill wizards!”
“Alright, sweetie!”
I was already on it as I rushed towards the Skeleton Wizards, who were taking their sweet time.
The incantation was almost done, and the ball of light was so intense I felt weakened by just getting near it!
I manipulated my darkness as I fired several arrows at the skeletons holding the spell, pulverizing their bony legs and making them fall and, at the same time, failing their spellcasting.
BOOOM!
The sphere of light, however, reached towards me and exploded anyways!
FLASH!
However, I had already built another shadow net through multitasking and materialized it, covering the entire thing as if it were a mantle.
The shadows absorbed most of the hit, managing to let me resist the faint light that came when the shadow mantle dissipated.
I managed to just barely keep my shadows alive without them dissipating from the bright light!
I rushed towards the still living Skeleton Wizards, who pointed their fingers at me and fired beams of light.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
“Agh! Stop fucking around!”
I released a storm of [Dark Gale] over all of them and finished them off for good as the slicing darkness pulverized them!
CLAAAAASSSSHH!
Their bones flew everywhere, I caught their souls, and gained that juicy EXP.
I ate the souls and quickly looked inside my [Shadow Storage].
The goblins had finished half the bandits, and Lucifer had finished off the last ones, so I quickly called him for reinforcements.
“KAKAKA!”
The Dark Skeleton Lord laughed as it began to attack Partner with a myriad of slashing attacks using his dark blade technique.
He was actually very dexterous, and Partner was going all out herself, using the power of her spear-related attacks, bloodwork, and even her other skills, but the monster seemed completely unfazed by most magic attacks that were not super powerful.
It seems his armor had some kind of dark shadow ability that negated most of the damage from magic.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“GRAA!”
Partner roared angrily as she did a spectacular flip in the air and then enhanced her own spear with her mana, spiraling downward like a drill!
Wow, that’s new.
CLAAAAASSSSH!
The Dark Skeleton Lord seemed to grit its teeth, taking the hit as it released a beam of darkness from his blade.
This motherfucker was tough!
Lucifer reached towards him as he used his claws to slash him off of the ground, causing Partner to hit the ground as a result, and the Dark Skeleton Lord flew into the air.
But before he could fly any higher, Lucifer caught him with his spear-tipped tail and crushed him into the ground!
CLASH!
“KAKA…!”
It seems that it has a hard time balancing itself if it’s constantly thrown around like a ragdoll… Good to know…
Shadows!
I controlled the shadows and manipulated them to shape into a giant mass, catching him in midair.
Lucifer began to rain him with attacks as soon as I caught him.
Meanwhile, Partner leaped into the skies and fell towards the skeleton with her spear, resembling a Dragon Knight technique from a particular fantasy game…
However, the Skeleton Knight roared as he gathered some kind of dark power from his chest and released it into a strong shockwave.
My shadow grip was destroyed, Lucifer was thrown away, and when Partner hit him, she was sent flying into the air.
BOOOOOMMM!
“What was that?!” Lucifer asked, bewildered by what had just happened.
“Kakakakaka!”
The Dark Skeleton Lord began to laugh as his power started to overflow.
The entire barrier imploded due to the shockwave, as he suddenly began to drink several potions of miasma he took out of a pouch.
Was that pouch some kind of dimensional item that could store more than it seemed… Like an inventory?
We couldn’t stop him because it was too sudden.
In a split of a second, he had devoured the potions, and his entire body began to overflow with black and bubbly slimy miasma…
Boss battle incoming, I guess.
