Chapter 703: Chapter 192: Skeleton King_4
The dark yellow light in the Skeleton Emperor’s eyes flickered, and the black skulls composing its body disintegrated instantly, scattering and rolling all over. Ah Dai’s primed strike landed on nothing, but even so, his Sumeru Sword still brought up a deep trench on the ground. Under the sword’s radiance, any skulls it touched turned to dust.
The eerie screams rang out, resembling countless wronged souls demanding retribution, shaking everyone present. Larthas promptly ordered his mages to launch a Fire Magic attack, targeting the scattered black skulls on the ground. As the mages began their spell chants, those skulls on the ground suddenly took flight, aggressively flying towards everyone present. Their speed was extreme, emitting a strong foul smell. In no time, they arrived in front of the external perimeter-defending Judges.
The Holy Judges and the Judges of Light exhibited their strength at the crucial moment, wide-ranging light screens illuminating from them, Sacred Battle Aura forming one solid barrier after another to resist the skeletons’ onslaught. Ah Dai’s figure flashed, swinging the Sumeru Sword and destroying a large number of skulls. However, only his attacks could completely eliminate these sturdy skulls. The Holy Judges and Judges of Light could only persevere strenuously.
The three Sword Saints exchanged glances, knowing it was their turn to act. Fierce blue, red, and green Battle Aura suddenly brightened up from behind the Judges. Under their powerful attacks, the pressure on the Judges was significantly reduced. At this moment, the Purple Flame Soaring Dragons reappeared. Larthas, Gorisong, and Kino directed three purple dragons to charge into the black skeleton masses.
Just at this moment, aside from the ones that were eliminated by Ah Dai and the three Sword Saints, the black skeletons that had collided with the Judges and the Purple Flame Soaring Dragon exploded in succession. The intense explosions left Ah Dai slightly dizzy. Each explosion caused a cloud of black mist to rise, and the explosions’ shockwaves were strong. The Purple Flame Soaring Dragons, retreated in the numerous black skeleton explosions, their Fire System energy was useless against the black mist. Ah Dai knew things were bad, leapt up, and dashed in front of the Judges, heavily warned, "Everyone, be careful, the black mist may be poisonous." As he shouted, four or five weaker Judges of Light already had their sacred protection breached. Their bodies were corrupted by the black mist, their clothes and flesh rapidly corroding; in no time they turned into a puddle of black fluid. Only their skeletal frameworks remained, but those black skeletons were still brandishing their original weapons and hadn’t fallen; instead, they attacked their former companions. Although their attack was weaker than the previous three Earthy Yellow Skeleton Kings, they were much stronger than those blue and grey skeletons. The companions’ transformation greatly shook the Judges’ vitality, and they could no longer muster their full strength. In the blink of an eye, another three Judges of Light had become black skeletons.
Ah Dai was gravely shocked. Just as he didn’t know how to handle the situation in front of him, a melodious long cry sounded. Blue light abruptly shone, a figure flashed with countless blue gleams, forcefully halting the assault of skulls and black mist. Under the blue light, the black mist actually condensed into droplets and fell onto the ground. At this moment, most of the mages’ Fire Attack Magic was finished. The black mist, now in liquid form, no longer had its powerful strength in its gaseous state, instantly vanishing in the roaring flames. The blue figure in the sky projected a few clear words, "Breeze, Moon, Sword." The scattered blue light in the sky gradually transformed. The blue light slowly changed to a blue and white intermingled color, lightly fluttering in the sky. It seemed like falling leaves landing amongst the skull groups. Ah Dai could clearly feel the immense energy contained within the blue light, surmising that even he would struggle against such an attack. From the five words ’Breeze Moon Sword,’ he deduced that the blue figure was the Eastern Sword Saint Yun Yi, who was second only to his own master among the top four Sword Saints. Only he could possess such formidable strength.
Under the influence of the blue light, the black skeletons’ assault and explosions had been completely halted. The pure energy, like a breeze, turned one fierce black skeleton head after another into ashes. Ah Dai was astounded to discover that within Yun Yi’s Breeze Moon Battle Aura, it actually included wind and water, two different attributes of Battle Aura, causing him to exclaim, "No wonder Yun Yi could become one of the Four Great Sword Saints, he clearly has integrated Battle Aura!" The breeze-like Battle Aura shattered the skulls, and the moon-like energy, like water, purged the black mist in the air. Such magic left him speechless and deeply impressed. Seizing this opportunity, Ah Dai never stopped flashing forward. His targets were the nearly ten Judges of Light who had already been turned into black skeletons. He absolutely could not afford for more Judges to receive such damage.
Faced with enemies who were comrades a moment ago, all the Judges were hesitant. Although their abilities were not inferior to these skeletons, they were unable to attack them.
