Chapter 242: Sudden Outburst! Sandstorm, Sword of Warlords

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Four Skeleton Wyverns swooped down, their sharp claws cutting through the crowd like twin circular saws, leaving trails of blood and dismembered limbs in their wake.

At the same time, a surge of necrotic breath gushed out, indiscriminately a.s.saulting both the forces of the Ocean Crown and the skeleton creatures.

Against attacks from fifth-tier units, they were still far too fragile.

Creatures like Murloc Rangers and Half-Orc Warriors, which were of third-tier, were instantly melted into pools of blood by the breath, leaving not even bone fragments behind. Even the Naga Berserkers and Dragon Blood Murlocs, fourth-tier units, could only endure for a few seconds before falling into the puddles of blood.

In just one wave of attacks, the Ocean Crown had suffered losses of at least a few hundred troops, with countless more injured.

Seeing this, Ji Chen realized that he couldn’t wait any longer. He exhausted his final reserves of magic, condensing them into four ma.s.sive swords, and struck down the last four Skeleton Wyverns.

As the last of the Skeleton Wyverns fell, the morale of the Ocean Crown’s troops suddenly surged.

Ji Chen’s relief was palpable as he saw the last few threatening Skeleton Dragons meet their demise.

However, the pain from his left arm made him furrow his brows again.

He certainly didn’t want to end up like Yang Guo from the wuxia novel The Return of the Condor Heroes!

But fortunately, this was a fantasy world with various self-healing skills, spells, and alchemical potions and treasures. Moreover, he had seen many potions and items that could mend bones and flesh in chat channels and forums.

As long as he had enough coins and resources for trade, he wouldn’t have to worry too much about being crippled.

Even so, he couldn’t let the mastermind behind his condition escape punishment.

With this thought, Ji Chen’s gaze locked onto Solin, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Now, in addition to conquering the Skeleton Realm and dealing with the future threats from the Ocean Crown, he had one more reason to kill Solin.

Now that his magic was completely depleted, due to overuse and exhaustion, he entered a period of magical fatigue.

So Ji Chen couldn’t launch an immediate attack, but he could still command the forces of the Ocean Crown to engage the skeleton army head-on and then eliminate Solin.

Solin saw all the Skeleton Wyverns fall and couldn’t help but feel a pang of pain.

These were creatures he had painstakingly cultivated for hundreds of years to rule the Skeleton Realm. Each of them had the power to annihilate a low-grade bone forge. However, they had all been wiped out in one fell swoop. This loss hurt him more than losing a few skeleton camps or commanders.

The desire to kill this human intensified within him. Fie urged all the skeleton creatures to continue their a.s.sault and even summoned several nearby skeleton camps to come to his aid.

It could be said that the two sides were now thoroughly locked in a relentless battle, entering an endless cycle of death and survival.

From daytime to evening, the sky gradually darkened.

If observed from above, one could see a scene of carnage and destruction throughout the camp, with piles of corpses and blood-soaked earth. Every step taken was on shattered bones, and blood had soaked into the ground, rendering it moist.

Ji Chen directed his troops to charge the enemy formation. The skeleton legion had been reduced to a mere remnant, leaving only a few hundred defenders around Solin, struggling to hold on.

Whether out of fear or caution, Solin had been hiding within the skeleton horde, refraining from making a move. As soon as Ji Chen launched the ma.s.sive swords, Solin rose again.

Boom, boom, boom…

Just as he was about to launch a final a.s.sault, harnessing the culmination of his efforts, he suddenly heard a series of sounds.

Listening carefully, his expression changed dramatically.

It was the sound of hoofbeats!

Soon, a squad of over a thousand Skeleton Knights appeared at the camp’s gates, followed by tens of thousands of skeleton creatures.

Ji Chen quickly realized that these were the Skeleton Knights sent by Yasca for reinforcement. How coincidental, they arrived at this exact moment!?

Looking at Solin, who was now defended by fewer than three hundred skeleton guards, Ji Chen was almost about to burst out in curses.

They were just a hair’s breadth away from twisting Solin’s head off and kicking it like a ball.

As resentful as Ji Chen might be, he had no choice but to abandon the idea of continuing the attack and order his troops to retreat.

The objective had s.h.i.+fted from wiping out the skeleton army and killing Solin to how to survive.

A squad of over a thousand Skeleton Knights was more than enough to break through their ranks.

Solin displayed excitement at the sight of this well-timed squad of Skeleton Knights. Despite his reluctance to face reality, he had to admit that this human had pushed him to his limits, almost to the point of desperation.

But that was no longer important. As long as the Skeleton Knights charged, everything would turn for the better!

The opportunity to cleanse the humiliation was at hand!

Ji Chen’s side was now on the defensive, his mind racing to find a solution.

Solin s.h.i.+fted from offense to defense, preparing to counterattack.

Yet neither side realized that a subtle change had occurred in the sky.

Tonight’s blood moon was particularly enchanting, casting the entire sky in an intense crimson hue.

Just a few kilometers away from the skeleton camp, within the red desert, a cacophony of eerie screams erupted, and countless skeleton creatures wreathed in blood-red flames, like a tsunami, surged towards the swamp.

This sudden commotion instantly grabbed the attention of both Ji Chen and Solin. Seeing the vast horde of skeleton creatures charging towards them, their expressions changed in unison.

Solin’s face turned grim, while Ji Chen’s was filled with wild exhilaration.

The reason for this divergence lay in their positions in relation to each other.

The main gate of the skeleton camp faced the red desert, and Solin was near the gate, while Ji Chen’s group was situated within the camp’s interior..
