Chapter 571: 571

The short spears charged towards the 6 wolf rider captains with combat qi . This would not work if they were normal short spears, but they were not . They were all thrown out by head commanders .

On top of that, they had armor-piercing attributes . The only thing the wolf riders could do was make their Mount wolves dodge . They were not confident that they could block one .

There were only 20 skeletons in front of the wolf riders . Of course, that was not all the skeletons those 10 deities had . Their main power and defense were still dependent on them .

Each deity had summoned 2 skeletons to support the wolf riders upfront, and that was already really draining .

While the knight’s short spears rained down, Abel’s arrow had also shown its power . It was about to hit a skeleton, but that skeleton quickly turned its head, hoping its vulnerable flame of life could avoid this strike .

However, no one in the human world had a better grasp of skeletons’ movement than Abel, who had been controlling skeletons for countless years in the Dark World .

Since skeletons were limited by their joints, they were only so flexible . Abel had taken advantage of this and shot an arrow straight into the skeleton’s eye and penetrated the blue flame of life in its skull .

If this was a normal arrow, it could only greatly injure a skeleton at most . Their flame of life might get smaller, and the fighting power would decrease .

However, Abel’s arrow carried some power of will . It could impact the summon contract’s flame of life .

A deity’s skeleton was very different from the one Abel had . Abel used the most ancient formula to summon skeletons from a dead body . It was purely made up of the bones from a dead body, which was then enchanted by the ‘Skeleton resurrection’ spell .

However, the deities had altered this ancient ‘skeleton resurrection’ spell . They first needed to capture a powerful fighter and torture them in the worst way possible to unleash all their emotions . Afterward, they would apply a curse to lock down all of the power of that fighting into their bones, turning them into a powerful skeleton .

Therefore, when Abel first discovered the ‘skeleton resurrection,’ he had to find a loophole in this spell .

The skeletons summoned by the most ancient skeleton resurrection did not have much fighting power . They could only inherit the experience of the summoner . Luckily, Abel was a powerful knight who had undergone professional knight training since he was young .

His skeletons often fought like knights, but their attacking power had always been a bother to Abel since he lacked the ‘skeleton support’ spell .

The orc deities skeletons were a lot more powerful . Their abilities were not affected by the strength and weaknesses of the summoner . It was impossible to find a deity with a physical strength like Abel anyway .

Since the orc deities’ skeletons had preserved the strength of a powerful fighter on top of the double enchantment of ‘skeleton resurrection’ and ‘skeleton support,’ their power was very scary .

However, this power came with a price . Since they had altered this spell, the contract also needed to be altered . The original ‘skeleton resurrection’ contract was signed through the soul chain .

They were not bound by any magic pattern; it just connected through the soul . However, the orc deities’ skeletons needed a contracted magic pattern to etch next to a skeleton’s flame of life .

Although arrows themselves could not affect a magic pattern, since they were immune to physical attacks, the power of the will on Abel’s arrow was their nightmare . Therefore, as soon as the arrow reached the skeleton’s skull, the contracted magic pattern was directly demolished .

Afterward, the skeleton quickly came to a halt . The flame of life in its eye turned from blue to red . Without the control of a contract, all the negative emotions in its brain began to take over .

At that moment, memories of the skeleton’s past life began to flash within . It suddenly remembered all of the torture it suffered through before it died . It was what made it the powerful monster it was .

This drove its body insane . It nimbly dodged all the wolf riders’ Mount wolves and gazed back with the red flame of life in its eye socket at its past owner–a black cloaked deity .

At that moment, that black cloaked deity was trying to withstand the mental impact of a destroyed contract . This mental impact made him lost all control of his other skeletons . Therefore, it only ran with the wolf riders through instinct .

No wolf rider had stopped the skeleton . The mysterious power of a deity was not something they could comprehend .

They also did not care about that skeleton turning back . Every deity wanted to retrieve their skeletons anyway . Since those deities had just become official deities, they did not have a powerful collection of skeletons like old deities, so every skeleton meant a lot to them .

If they lost a skeleton, they could not replace it in a short period of time .

With this in mind, all deities wanted to retrieve their skeletons as soon as possible, but they could not since they were on a mission . Still, their teammates wouldn’t complain too much if one of them decided to challenge this rule .

When that deity had regained his consciousness, the skeleton had already arrived in front of him . The skeleton dashed forward, and the deity could see a familiar shadow of a man yelling at him within the red flame of life of its eye socket .

He knew this man; it was a head commander his teacher had given him . It was a living human . He personally turned into a skeleton . At that time, he often had nightmares seeing this head commander, but slowly got used to it .

However, as he gazed into the shadow within that skeleton’s red flame of life, he felt like his nightmare dawned on him again .

Since this skeleton had countless markings of this deity, his bone armor did not recognize it as an enemy . Since the deity had just regained his consciousness from the impact, he also did not have time to control his bone armor .

Therefore, the skeleton had effortlessly dashed on to the deity’s weak death qi filled body, knocking him off his mount .

The skeleton bit on to the deity’s neck, which triggered the Bone Armour, but by that point, the skeleton tightly squeezed the deity’s body .

All of this has happened way too quickly, and the wolf rider captains up front were busy dodging short spears . A few wolf riders had been stabbed by the spears, and their formation became chaotic .

The deity on the ground was trampled on by a few wolf rider’s mount wolf, and his bone armor had soon faded along with his bone shield . All of a sudden, the red flame within the skeleton’s eye socket lashed out, and a massive force struck upon the deity .

Bang! An enchanted skeleton of a head commander had self-destructed in an explosion . A large amount of death qi, pain, and anger blasted outward in a flash .

The first one to get a taste of this explosion was the deity in which the skeleton was hugging . The force of the explosion had shattered it into pieces of meat .

Afterward, the death qi blast out had immediately consumed the life force of 10 wolf riders and their mount wolves nearby . It was like they had all become 10 years older all of a sudden .

Actually, the closest thing next to that deity should be other deities, but since it was knocked to the ground by a skeleton and it was trampled on by a few mount wolves . Other deities didn’t have the chance to move away .

Since those mount wolves’ life force had decreased, their speed had slowed down . Slowing down was the most dangerous thing in an accelerating formation . The wolf riders in the back were not expecting it, so they viciously crashed into each other .
