Chapter 256: Chapter 254 Don’t Come Near Me Ahhh_1

The Ritualist inside had clearly realized that an ambush had been set up at the warehouse entrance.

This piece of information might also have been obtained through a ritual or a Summon.

So, by the time Annan and his group rushed back, not a single person had tried to come out of the warehouse entrance.

But they clearly hadn’t anticipated that Annan didn’t need to use the door at all.

He was able to break through the side wall in just five seconds!

And the moment the wall collapsed, the players immediately surged forward, killing their way into the warehouse from the side.

However, the inside of the warehouse was different from the intelligence Annan had received—

There were only two normal people inside.

Or to be precise... one and a half.

Scattered around the room were more than a dozen creatures resembling the underling-level minor mobs from other games, like "skeleton warriors."

But there was one difference... these skeletons were all over two meters tall, with particularly large heads that exuded a powerful oppressive force.

Although they didn’t wear armor, they were clearly not the type of lackeys that wielded bone cutlasses.

In their right hands they held flails or spiked maces, and in their left were thick iron shields over two meters tall that could easily rest on the ground.

Annan recognized them immediately.

They were Skeleton Guards!

The once loyal guardians of the Skeleton Monarch... Each Skeleton Guard equated to a level ten giant guardian proficient in Guardsman Swordsmanship, yet unclassed.

And Guardsman Swordsmanship was specialized in the fighting styles of "fighting the many with the few" or "battling hordes alone!"

Without vulnerable points like a heart, neck, or skull, it was impossible to assassinate Skeleton Guards in a conventional manner. Being skeletons already, they were highly resistant to both stabbing and arrows, and their massive heavy shields could defend against blunt trauma from heavy weapons. Together, several Skeleton Guards could form shield walls or man-made barricades. Their flails or spiked maces could inflict effective damage on heavily armored targets.

Impervious to stabbing, slashing, bleeding, and poisoning, resistant to bashes, and even capable of forming shield walls and barricades at any time—these were virtually flawless guardians without weakness. They did not even fear death.

In a small-scale Battlefield, multiple Skeleton Guards could completely turn the tide of battle.

If not for the fact that the ritual to summon them was overly stringent...

Yes.

As guardians of the God of Betrayal, they would only follow the lead of a "traitor"—and it had to be a perfect act of betrayal from a superior to a subordinate for these Skeleton Guards to emerge from the flesh of the betrayed.

Behind the cover of the dozen or so Skeleton Guards, players could barely see the shrunken, hunched figure of an old man on the warehouse’s altar, looking unmistakably unrighteous.

He seemed so withered as though he could die at any moment. Dense death aura enveloped his deeply sunken, ugly features, yet he moved with ease, without any pressure.

Beside him, the body of a burly man was slowly melting away and a creature that looked like an obese candle dog, ablaze with bright light and constantly dripping wax, was taking shape in place of the lower half that the burly man had lost.

"—What the fuck, Zouken Matou?"

Lin Yiyi’s eyes widened as she blurted out a comment.

To protect Annan, and also as an extremely rare tank class—she chose to charge directly at that "Zouken Matou" and the "candle dog."

But just then, the crow of bones in the sky suddenly opened its mouth and its jawbone began making a clack-clack sound.

While it silently cawed, most players didn’t feel any discomfort. But following it closely, Xitan Pulan heard an extremely loud noise suddenly erupting beside her ears.

It was a piercing, shrill buzz.

The moment she heard this sound, her mind went blank and she lost the ability to control her body.

Other players then saw Xitan Pulan’s figure, which had been as faint as a glimmer of light, suddenly become clear and start to fluctuate violently.

But the very next moment,

A shower of sharp stones flew at high speed, forcing the crow of bones to stop its screeching and dodge upwards.

The player who made the move was none other than the Wandering Child!

"You okay?"

He asked urgently, not turning to look at Xitan Pulan.

He swung the slender sword in his hand, which was as light as a conductor’s baton, towards the ground again, drawing an S-shaped arc.

Following the direction indicated by his blade—a curved trench made of rocks suddenly bulged from the ground, swiftly rising and dividing the battlefield into three separate sections.

These sections contained, respectively, the outer four skeleton guards, the middle six skeleton guards, "Candle Dog", the skeleton crows, the old man, and the five skeleton guards trapped within the three-way wall.

After completing such a task, the boy had sweat beading on his forehead. Clearly, it wasn’t an easy feat for him.

He then twisted the slim sword in his hand, pointing it down towards the ground.

From the earth, three pointed stones the size of tiles and shaped like teeth emerged. As the wandering child pointed his blade again towards the skeleton crow, these sharp stone shards tore from the ground and sped towards the skeleton crow!

But just then, they heard the sound of a gunshot.

Atop the temporary earth wall, where previously no one stood, a person appeared—a man with a strange helmet that covered only the eyes with thirteen lenses and had a sorrowful smile on his lips.

He was holding a massive gun, about one and a half meters long, resembling a sniper rifle in appearance.

His earlier bullet, with just a single shot, had knocked down two of the stone shards. The remaining one, unable to block the skeleton crow’s flight path, had no chance of hitting it.

Seeing that exaggeratedly styled sniper, the child’s sweat immediately began to flow.

WDNMD, that’s gotta be a handheld cannon...

The barrel of the gun was so thick, an entire quail egg could fit inside!

"Don’t be afraid, that’s a Despiser!"

Annan reassuringly explained from the back, "It can only be hit by ranged weapons such as crossbows and guns, whose mechanisms the attacker isn’t aware of, but it’s also incapable of attacking living creatures and can only intercept projectiles!"

Upon hearing this, the child felt slightly relieved.

But just then, a small figure suddenly leapt out from above his head.

It was Jiu’er!

In her hand was a well-crafted battle axe—this was the new weapon she had purchased with Annan’s favorability. It had no particular advantages or powers, and wasn’t a cursed item... but it did have two characteristics.

One was its heaviness.

The other was its sharpness.

It was mixed with some orichalcum, making it heavier than a fine steel battle axe of the same weight—and it was sharper than any similar battle axe. Its blade even shimmered with a beautiful dark golden luster.

When Jiu’er asked Annan for a more reliable, good weapon... the first thing Annan thought of was this one.

It was the axe held by the decorative knight statue in the Viscount’s living room.

It was no less than one meter eighty—held in Jiu’er’s hands, its hilarious proportion would even make Annan, accustomed to wielding hammers with handles as long as his eyebrows, feel a sneaky pleasure.

Annan knew that Jiu’er had enormous strength, especially after her class change to Berserker, her power had only grown.

Moreover, she had the skill "Full Force Strike" at a high level of seven. A normal longsword simply couldn’t withstand her tremendous strength.

But this axe was different.

Being a decoration for a Viscount, it was undoubtedly a high-quality, well-made product. It was even constantly maintained, its blade sparkled brilliantly, and it was practically new as it had never been used. Presenting it as a gift was a matter of pride.

——Of course, no one had used it, because after this axe was forged and auctioned, it was bought as a collector’s item.

And after Jiu’er had owned it for a while, a dull blood light had appeared on it. This was a special effect produced when orichalcum was in prolonged contact with blood—"gold" in the school of Transmutation was associated with "stigmatization". As a result, orichalcum was especially prone to taking on the color of often contacted materials.

However, it must be stressed that the blood on the axe was not that of enemies—

With a big jump, Jiu’er landed amidst the skeleton guards of the second battlefield.

She then grabbed the axe, turned it around, and screamed loudly:

"Don’t come near me aaaaaah——"

Before the weapons of the skeleton guards could strike her,

Jiu’er preempted them by slashing the axe blade directly into her own abdomen, bisecting it vertically into two halves!
