Chapter 215 Bone Stone Crystal Cluster, Wise Undead (Minor Revision)
However, Olaf neither dodged nor evaded, but instead activated the [Taunt] skill at the last moment.
A roar like thunder resounded, causing the nearby skeleton servants to retreat in panic.
The giant swordsman's attack trajectory was slightly affected by the roar, causing it to deviate slightly.
Taking advantage of this momentary opening, Olaf activated [Berserk Mode].
Its speed and power reached their peak, almost transforming into a streak of dark blue lightning, as it circled around to the side of the decapitating giant sword skeleton.
[Bloodlust Assault] skill activated!
The battle axe drew a perfect arc in the air, precisely striking the opponent's ribs.
With a crisp sound of bones colliding, blood-like energy seeped from the wound and was absorbed by Olaf.
Its body becomes stronger by absorbing the life force.
The skeletal warrior wielding the decapitation sword roared repeatedly, but under Olaf's ferocious onslaught, he was somewhat overwhelmed and struggled to defend himself.
The battle quickly escalated into a fierce stage.
Neither side would yield, and every clash sent the earth trembling.
Olaf used his agility to constantly move to the edge of the decapitating giant sword's attack range.
Sometimes it launches a [Charge], crashing into the opponent with overwhelming force.
At times, she unleashes the [Blood Blade Whirlwind], transforming into a spinning death storm that shatters the surrounding air.
Although the decapitation giant swordsman possessed immense strength, he began to appear somewhat overwhelmed by Olaf's relentless attacks.
At that moment, Olaf made a decision based on his battle intuition.
It raised its battle axe high, its soul fire flashing with a resolute light, and the [Reverse Throw] skill was instantly activated.
The bone battle axe streaked across the night sky like a meteor, piercing through the giant decapitated sword-wielding skull's defenses and embedding itself deeply in its chest.
Under the watchful eyes of all the skeletons, Olaf's axe, wielding an irresistible force, pinned the decapitating giant skeleton to the ground.
To render it unable to move.
The fire of the soul within the skull gradually dimmed, losing its former brilliance.
The battle was over, and Olaf stood there, the flames around him gradually dying down.
It gazed at the ark with its empty eye sockets, like a general returning from a hundred battles pledging allegiance to his king.
Seeing Olaf win so easily, the Ark Soulfire, which had been silently watching from the sidelines, suddenly blazed brightly, sending Olaf a message of approval.
Previously, from Archer One's perspective, this decapitation sword warrior appeared to be exceptionally powerful, like a god descending to earth, which made Ark nervous for a moment.
He hadn't expected that it would be so vulnerable in front of Olaf, the Berserker Spirit wielding the Berserker Twin Axes.
After ordering Olaf to confirm that the decapitating giant sword-wielding skeleton warrior was powerless to resist, Ark slowly stepped onto the battlefield.
Above the skull clone's head, an invisible force gathered, gradually outlining a crown carved from pure white bone.
That is a powerful force originating from the Blood Moon, capable of controlling skeletal undead creatures—the [Skeletal Monarch] skill.
Fangzhou gently raised his hand, and the crown, as if responding to a summons, released an even stronger mental fluctuation, pointing directly at the decapitated giant sword skeleton warrior on the ground.
Its flickering soul flame trembled violently under the onslaught of this power.
Finally, with a barely audible sound, the soul fire of the decapitating giant sword skeleton warrior was completely conquered.
Its body regained its strength at that moment, and it slowly stood up.
This time, however, its soul fire fluctuations were no longer fierce, but filled with awe and dependence on the skeleton clone, as if it had found a new master.
Fangzhou surveyed the powerful warrior who had recently joined his ranks with satisfaction.
It's rare to encounter such a unique skeleton minion, so Ark has decided not to use it as consumables or cannon fodder for the time being.
After some deliberation, he decided to give his newly acquired forces a resounding name—Tryndamir.
With the decision made, Fangzhou closed his eyes, and his entire body emitted an almost tangible soul fluctuation.
This is yet another demonstration of the Skeleton King's skills.
He and Tryndamere established a direct connection between their souls.
This process is irresistible to any connected spirit; it represents absolute control and understanding.
The will of the skeletal clone surged into Tryndamere's soul like a tidal wave, beginning a domineering yet meticulous exploration, intending to uncover all the secrets of this new subjugator.
As the exploration deepened, the skeleton clone gradually understood why Tryndamere possessed superhuman combat power.
It once occupied an extremely precious resource point by itself—a cluster of white bone stone crystals.
For skeletons, these skeletal undead creatures, bone stones are more than just enhancement gems; they are crystallizations of death energy, containing powerful undead attribute power.
Within that crystal cluster, day after day, year after year, Tryndamere absorbed some of the white bone stones.
The energy within these stones gradually altered its skeletal structure, making it harder, and also subtly enhanced its racial combat strength.
More importantly, the energy essence within the bone stone unleashed Tryndamere's inner potential, allowing him to display extraordinary tactical wisdom and combat skills in actual combat, far surpassing ordinary low-rank Black Iron skeleton warriors.
Upon learning all this, Fangzhou felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.
However, for low-level undead creatures like skeletons, the changing of the sun, moon, and stars is merely a distant and vague concept.
The Ark didn't glean much precise time information from Tryndamere's hazy memories.
The exact quantity of the mysterious resource point that nurtures the white bone stone, its regeneration rate, and the amount of essence Tryndamere has absorbed are all difficult to estimate.
However, this very strong player, who dominated the region, unexpectedly ran into Ark's number one team.
What happened behind the scenes?
Why did Tryndamere leave the cluster of white bone crystals that he had been occupying?
Driven by curiosity, the Ark once again sank into Tryndamere's sea of memories.
It turns out that Tryndamere's former dominant position was not always secure.
A mutated zombie, wandering from an unknown land, silently invaded Tryndamere's territory like a shadow of death.
This mutated zombie is different from the ordinary zombie.
It possesses a stronger physique, faster movement speed, and even, to some extent, exhibits traces of intelligence.
In this contest, Tryndamere, despite his bravery and fearlessness, was ultimately outmaneuvered and was defeated by the mutated zombie with a slight advantage. It was only through his agility that Tryndamere managed to escape from the desperate situation.
However, the price was heavy.
It was forced to abandon that precious Hundred Bone Stone deposit.
From that moment on, Tryndamere was no longer the king of this land, but a lonely wanderer, until he encountered the forces of the Ark.
Fangzhou realized that this land of death was far more complex than he had imagined.
There is both the allure of unknown resources and the powerful, unknown threat.
Fangzhou shook his head, and after communicating with Tryndamere for a while through the soul link with the Skeleton King, he made a surprising discovery.
Tryndamere's soulfire was far more intense than that of his other skeleton minions.
In Fangzhou's view, this may also be an improvement and mutation in its soul essence brought about by long-term consumption of the White Bone Stone.
Most importantly, it is likely due to his robust soulfire that Tryndamere's intelligence is significantly higher than that of other ordinary skeleton warriors of lower Iron rank.
It can even use its soul fluctuations to have some simple communication with the Ark.
This surprised and delighted Fangzhou.
He controlled his skeleton clones, sweeping from the Bone Wasteland to the Corpse Hills. Tryndamere was the only undead creature with a certain degree of intelligence.
This gave Fangzhou a bold conjecture.
Tryndamere, a mere mutated warrior of the lower Iron rank, has shown signs of intelligence.
So perhaps deeper within the Hill of Corpses, there exist even more intelligent undead creatures.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhou had a sudden thought and asked, "Trydamir, in which direction is the bone crystal cluster you occupied before?"
Tryndamere stared blankly at the skeleton clone, the soul fire in its skull flickering violently a few times before emitting a strong soul fluctuation.
"Master, the white bone stone crystal cluster, ahead, it's very far."
Looking at the southeast direction Tryndamere was pointing, Ark shook its head inwardly, unsure of exactly how far it meant by "far."
