Chapter 701: Chapter 192: Skeleton King_2
The golden light gradually receded. The Wrath of the Sky God swiftly floated like lightning into Xuan Ye’s hand. Holding the divine artifact aloft, Xuan Ye stood proudly behind Sheng Xie, his body radiating golden light and divine majesty.
Xuan Yue excitedly said, "Great! We’ve done it, the bone birds are finished."
Ah Dai floated next to Xuan Ye, smiling, "Father-in-law, your light magic is truly powerful!"
With the bone bird swarm wiped out, Xuan Ye was in a good mood. He laughed, "Don’t butter me up. If I couldn’t even obliterate these lowest-level of undead creatures, I would be unworthy of being a Red Robe Priest of the Church."
Xuan Yue chuckled, "Ok, let’s go back and report to Grandfather. Sheng Xie, Little Bone, let’s go." Upon hearing Xuan Yue’s delicate laughter, the two giant dragons turned and flew back. In no time at all, they returned to where the Pope and the others were. The Pope had already seen what had transpired in the sky earlier and nodded approvingly, "You all did well, let’s advance to the next level. Ah Dai, the three Sword Saints, and Mage Larthas, it’s up to you now. We don’t have many Judges. Ah Dai, your dragon friends can transport about a hundred magicians each. I’ll trouble them to make two trips to transport two hundred Fire Mages. I’ll have all the Judges go with you to protect the magicians, make sure to eradicate all the skeletons."
Yun Ying said, "We three old farts should go ahead and prevent any chance for the skeletons to launch a surprise attack." The Pope chuckled, "Brother Yun Ying, you truly understand my thoughts."
Goshawk took a drink and said, "We old timers have become wise, of course we understand your intentions. Haven’t had a good workout in a long time, let’s see how tough these undead creatures are". Ah Dai knew the power of Goshawk’s fire fighting spirit; its effectiveness was absolutely superior to that of fire magic. He smiled, "With Senior Goshawk here, those skeletons won’t stand a chance."
Goshawk grunted, "Kid, are you praising me or belittling me? Let’s get going." After that, he rose into the air, wrapped in his Fire Fighting Spirit.
Ah Dai glanced at Xuan Yue, "Yue Yue, you should stay here and rest a while, these are just low-level skeletons, they won’t pose a threat to me."
Xuan Yue nodded, "All right, but be careful."
Ah Dai smiled, turned to Larthas, "President, lead the people onto the dragon’s back. Everyone must hold on tight, as no one should fall off."
Larthas chuckled, "Even though we’re mages, we’re not that fragile. I can also enjoy the sensation of riding a dragon". The Fire Mages he led were orderly. With his direction, they mounted the two giant dragons’ backs. Little Bone’s body was indeed large, with its massive body, over eighty feet long, capable of accommodating eighty magicians, considering each of them sat in the middle of Little Bone’s backbone. Sheng Xie, being significantly smaller, only had room for thirty people. Under the guidance of Ah Dai and the three Sword Saints, the two dragons soared into the sky, passing the mountain range in front and arrived at the intersection between the bone bird’s territory and the skeletons’ territory. The three Sword Saints were the first to land, finding the barren hill slopes and small mountains somewhat puzzling. The other magicians landed subsequently, and the two dragons returned to the mountain to pick up the remaining magicians as per Ah Dai’s command.
Goshawk looked around, huffed, "Ah Dai, you described it accurately, but where are these skeletons? I don’t see a single one."
Ah Dai circulated the True Qi within his body, casting out his spiritual sense towards the surroundings, and spoke in a deep voice, "Senior, please don’t be impatient. Once the remaining people arrive, we’ll travel a bit further ahead and encounter the skeletons."
In a short while, Sheng Xie and Little Bone had returned. The Judges of Light and Holy Judges had also convened. Ah Dai shouted loudly, "All Fire Mages gather and prepare to launch your strongest fire magic attacks. The Judges will guard the periphery. As soon as the Skeleton Soldiers appear, you can be on guard without attacking. Let’s go." After his command, Ah Dai led the three Sword Saints and Larthas forward. This region was a mountain gully with relatively flat terrain. After less than a kilometer, Ah Dai’s spiritual sense stirred, he quickly shouted, "Everyone be careful, the skeletons are going to appear. Watch the ground." Indeed, his prediction was correct; fissures began to appear on the ground as various colored skeletons slowly crawled out. The three tan-colored Skeleton Kings from last time were suddenly among them. These three Skeleton Kings could be considered exceptional among the skeletons, possessing a certain level of intelligence. Upon seeing Ah Dai, they instantly harbored resentment and charged towards the crowd under the command of the Skeleton Kings holding bone knives. A glint flashed in Ah Dai’s eyes as he turned to Goshawk, "Senior, do you see those three tan-colored skeletons? They are the leaders of these skeletons. How about we go kill them?"
Goshawk answered Ah Dai’s question with action. His fiery-red fighting spirit suddenly blazed brightly, streaking towards the three Skeleton Kings like a shooting star. Everywhere he passed, any skeleton that collided with him met the same fate--turned into ashes. Even the blue and grey skeletons couldn’t slow down his advance by even a bit. Ah Dai smiled lightly, thinking it seemed he wouldn’t need to make a move this time. Yun Ying and Harry stood on either side of Ah Dai. While the skeletons rushed fiercely, the Judges of Light and Holy Judges, being the highest-ranking martial artists in the Church, had ample strength to deal with these skeletons. For a while, skeletons flew and tumbled through the air, unable to break through their defense line.
