Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 2208 - 1002: Giant Bone King’s Counterattack (Part 2)
Corpses shoulder!
Corpses head! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Corpses chest!
A Corpse Giant attempted to crawl out of the Soul Pool whirlpool. From the exposed half of its body, it looked to be over 30 meters tall, undoubtedly a Super Giant.
"Fire!"
Gaven commanded the two Super Corpse Hounds who had completed their evolution to attack. The enemy was now a sitting duck, a perfect opportunity for a strike.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Skeleton Cannon roared rhythmically, in a continuous barrage.
The Super Corpse Hounds, now advanced to Super Soldiers, displayed a synergy effect stronger than the sum of their parts.
Not only had their size increased, but they had also evolved three heads, each of the new heads possessing a Skeleton Cannon.
This allowed them to fire in multiple directions in turn.
Both sides were less than a hundred meters apart. Given their massive sizes, the cannonballs from the Tri-headed Corpse Hounds struck almost point-blank, with hardly any chance of missing, raining down on the Corpse Giant.
Each blast generated a massive ripple of skeleton remains, bones flying everywhere.
If a cannonball struck the torso, it left a huge crater.
If it hit an arm, a chunk would be taken out immediately.
The Corpse Giant displayed a terrifying regenerative ability. Whether its arm or torso was wounded, a large amount of corpses would swarm up to repair the damage.
The Corpse Giant was evidently intelligent, opting not just to endure the barrage. It rubbed its massive hands together, forming a Bone Sphere over ten meters in diameter, hurling it toward the Tri-headed Corpse Hound.
"Run!" Gaven ordered both targeted and non-targeted Tri-headed Corpse Hounds to dash in the opposite direction of the Bone Sphere at full speed.
Because he sensed a terrifying Negative Energy emanating from it.
Tossed just like a Skeleton Cannonball, it would undoubtedly explode violently upon impact.
The principle behind a Skeleton Cannonball was simple and clear: with sufficient manipulation skills, crafting it by hand wasn’t difficult—thanks to Legendary Skeleton Manipulation.
However, the Bone Sphere crafted by the Corpse Giant contained such power that even the Skeleton Cannon within a Death Stalker couldn’t compare.
Without a breakthrough in explosive quality, increasing the explosive payload was an effective way to boost bomb power.
This applied to the Skeleton Cannonball as well.
Gaven and his forces hadn’t run far when a terrifying explosion erupted behind them.
It wasn’t just the blast shockwave they faced now; skeletal rain fell, crashing down with a clatter.
Even the two Tri-headed Corpse Hounds, both now of Giant size, were badly thrown to the ground by the skeletal shockwave, skin torn raw, shrinking significantly.
Gaven, sensing the situation turning dire, had already used a Teleportation Spell to escape by several kilometers.
The one most affected by the impact wasn’t the Tri-headed Corpse Hounds, but the Corpse Giant itself.
The explosive power of such a Skeleton Bomb was immense, and it had thrown it too close, limited by its half-body.
Unable to move, it could only hunker down, curling itself tightly to withstand the shockwave. Its already repeatedly battered arm was finally snapped off.
Still, for a Corpses Monster, this kind of damage wasn’t fatal, especially as the Corpse Giant remained in a cohesion state, akin to having a super healing buff; no matter how much the corpse body was shredded, tons of skeleton remains would surge to restore it, unless one could exhaust its Blood Pool (Soul Energy).
This mishap occurred because it was the Corpse Giant’s first time deploying such a Skeleton Bomb.
Its following counterattack against the Tri-headed Corpse Hounds showed no such mishaps.
By controlling the size of the Skeleton Bombs, adjusting their power and range, the latter conjured Skeleton Bombs were only handball-sized. Given its hand size of four to five meters, they were large enough in comparison to a Skeleton Giant Cannon, with a far enough range.
Having experienced the might of a Super Skeleton Bomb, Gaven dared not allow the Tri-headed Corpse Hounds to get too close.
The kind of attack Corpses Monsters feared most was a single-strike with immense destructive power, able to strip away their outer layers of Corpse Armor and directly damage the internal core.
The relentless bombardment from the two Tri-headed Corpse Hounds, with six Skeleton Cannons, couldn’t inflict lethal damage on the Corpse Giant, nor prevent it from fully emerging from the Soul Pool whirlpool.
Gaven involuntarily reached into his combat pouch; what lay there wasn’t a Healing Potion, but the Light Spirit Crystals he had spent a fortune buying from the Laiserman Witch.
After much hesitation.
Gaven still decided against using it, unsure whether this skeleton monster was the Giant Bone King or part of its true form.
If his trump card ended up killing just an Advanced Cannon Fodder, it would be embarrassing.
He had only three Light Spirit Crystals; using one meant one less.
And there were as many as four Advanced Undead Lords in the Plains of Bone to contend with, not to mention stronger Demon Lords beyond.
Asking the Laiserman Witch for more was simply out of the question.
The situation extended beyond mere financial concerns, involving deeper exchanges of interests and intertwined emotions.
Even if the Laiserman Witch wished to sell him more, she likely had no further stock. Producing such powerful magic items demanded a complex crafting process, costly in money, time, and professional experience.
