BXBX NOVEL Chapter 47 Impending Crisis (2)
Rita\'s heart throbbed when she saw this. She knew she would be in huge trouble if she didn\'t block this big guy. Not to mention twenty more minutes; she might not even last five minutes!
The second stage skeleton didn\'t waste any time and started thrusting its spear as it moved toward Rita. It destroyed those ice spikes with a single thrust of its spear that took those other skeletons five to ten seconds.
Paled, Rita madly cast ice spikes but other than making the second stage skeleton slightly slower; they were utterly useless.
\'Its bones are so sturdy that my ice spikes instantly shatter the moment they come in contact with it. I can\'t waste Qi on it like this, or I\'ll be sending both of us into a dangerous situation.\' With an expression of reproach, ruthlessness shone in Rita\'s eyes before a purple hue encased them.
She was going to use her last trump card, which was the Mind Wander Charm Art.
Although Cyrus had told her that the charm arts could be used against the Undead, she also knew it wasn\'t going to be easy because the undead in front of her was not ordinary at all.
But she knew if she didn\'t try, she would be nothing but a sitting duck in front of this second-stage skeleton, and close combat was an even more ridiculous option.
So, she could only try controlling this skeleton with everything she had and was determined to protect Cyrus.
Enthralling sweet fragrance started to drift in the air mixed within icy soul winds, and with a single thought, \'Mind Wander Charm Art!\'
She cast the Mind Wander Charm Art, which was now at the second layer since her cultivation was far higher than the time she used it previously.
As the target of her golden-grade spell, the second-stage skeleton suddenly slumped when it was only half a meter away from thrusting the bone spear into the ice wall.
But its hand movement was not completely restricted as it continued to thrust forward. It was resisting with all its might.
Rita\'s pale expression was demented when she noticed her Yin Qi getting exhausted at a terrifying speed, but the second-stage skeleton was still strongly resisting it. With bloodshot eyes, she increased the output without caring about the consequences.
The bone spear finally stopped when it was only a hair away from the block of ice; the spell was successfully cast!
Rita felt terrible pain attacking her head at this moment, and not only that, but the soul winds were finally starting to affect her because she was already out of Qi.
However, Rita knew she wouldn\'t last long like this, so she endured while clenching her teeth. She shrilled, "Destroy them all!"
The second stage skeleton suddenly twisted its massive body and, like a raging bull, charged toward those small skeletons with its bone spear and started to kill them wantonly.
Rita watched without blinking as her complexion was ghastly pale while her eyes were extremely crimson, and blood started to fill them. But she endured every bit of pain and controlled the second stage skeleton.
With the big guy under her control, those small fires were cleaned up within seconds, and when Rita was about to command it to commit suicide, another skeleton emerged, which was the same size as the second-stage skeleton. The only difference was it was holding a long sword.
The bone spear skeleton suddenly flinched as it started to tremble without control.
Rita clenched her head as blood was trickling down from her eyes as she roared in madness, "Ahhhhh… No, you can\'t escape! Kill It!"
The bone spear skeleton stopped resisting again and charged toward the bone sword skeleton with its spear right in front of it.
Sensing the incoming danger, the bone sword skeleton swiftly changed its direction from Rita to the bone spear skeleton and swung its sword to counter the bone spear skeleton head-on.
Just as the two skeletons clashed, Rita puked a mouth full of blood before the purple hue in her eyes dimmed down. The spell was broken!
Rita fell to her knees, panting heavily while tears of blood were running all over her face, but she ignored her current state and instantly looked toward those skeletons. She wanted to try casting the spell again.
But she was shocked when she saw those skeletons were still fighting despite the spell on the bone spear skeleton being broken, and they didn\'t pay much attention to Rita anymore as they were busy try killing each other.
Although stage two skeletons were not like stage one skeletons, who were driven by their basic instinct of Undead Race and just charged at everything since they had developed a sense of danger which gave them the ability to dodge incoming attacks.
But they also developed another kind of instinct, which was the instinct to devour each other so they could become stronger and evolve further. That\'s why they kill each other until they start to develop basic intelligence and do not kill wantonly.
At least they only target strong ones since small fries won\'t help them anymore.
Still, these two stage-two skeletons were not at that level, so when Rita produced the spark, the fire was instantly ignited!
\'They\'re not paying attention to me!\' Rita also noticed that they no longer seemed interested in her, or at least they first wanted to decide who would be keeping the final prize.
So, she quickly sat cross-legged and circulated her technique, and tried to recover. Every second was precious to her in this state, and she was even praying that those two keep on like this forever.
However, she knew it was just her wishful thinking because after five minutes had passed, the skeleton with bone sword started to fall into a disadvantageous situation. The bone spear skeleton was truly terrifying.
But Rita wasn\'t even recovered from the backlash yet, much less her Qi. Still, she didn\'t lose hope and kept recovering.
However, things turn worse when more stage-one skeletons show up, and except for those unlucky ones coming from the fighting direction of those two, the others completely them and charge toward Rita.
\'What do I do? Should I try running and drawing them away?\' She thought with an ashen face, \'No, I can\'t take the risk! What if some of those bastards decided to ignore me and go after Cyrus? I can\'t put his life at risk. Especially when those two are around…\'
The more she thought, the more desperate she felt. It was her first time experiencing such a thing. She could clearly try running and might even survive, but she didn\'t want to betray Cyrus.
At this moment, another stage two skeleton appeared, but it didn\'t have any weapon. Instead, its skeleton color was cyanic, and it was glistering, unlike other skeletons.
However, this skeleton didn\'t seem to pay attention to Rita at all as it instantly lunged in the midst of another stage two skeletons\' fight.
It clenched its fist and punched toward the bone spear skeleton.
The bone spear skeleton naturally sensed the danger, and after he threw off the bone sword skeleton of its momentum, it waved the shaft of the bone spear toward the incoming cyanic skeleton.
However, something completely unimaginable happened when the fist collided with the bone spear. The bone spear instantly shattered like a twig, and the fist remained unstoppable and landed directly into the bone skeleton\'s rib cage, sending him flying.
The cyanic skeleton was still not done as it, through another punch at the sword skeleton\'s skull, which was already been weakened by the bone spear skeleton. Despite the sword skeleton\'s timely block with its arm, it turned out to be extremely useless.
The arm was broken apart, and the unstoppable fist directly landed at the skull.
\'Boom!\'
One of the second stage skeleton parish within ten seconds after the cyanic skeleton appearance, leaving the spectator, Rita, appalled!
It was quite clear that the cyanic skeleton was far more terrifying than the bone spear skeleton, and after killing the bone sword skeleton, it didn\'t delay and greedily absorbed started to absorb the dead skeleton.
Rita knew things were turning worse as he noticed the iron-like sheen on the cyanic skeleton was visibly turning shinier as it absorbed the bone sword skeleton.
However, it still forgot about the bone spear skeleton, or it simply didn\'t care about it all, and when the injured bone spear skeleton attacked again and was utterly helpless to even leave a scratch on the other party, it became quite apparent.
Rita twisted her head and looked down toward Cyrus and was even more agitated when she saw Cyrus was still in the same position and was completely oblivious to their current dire situation.
While those stage skeletons were a huge threat, those stage skeletons weren\'t coming slowly either. They were already close to the wall, and two of them were started to rain down their fists on it already.
At this moment, despair was unavoidable!
