Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan-Chapter 93 - 92: Undead Sea of Bones, Catastrophe Dragon
CREAK... CREAK...
In a sunless, subterranean world, the creaking of countless moving joints echoed across a sea of bones.
Above, the dome seemed to have been enchanted, manifesting a scene like a dark, starry sky.
At this moment, led by a Skeleton Knight, a squad of Skeletons suddenly halted on a barren, high slope in the sea of bones.
The Skeleton Knight was stunned, and the Soul Fire in its eye sockets suddenly flared.
From that moment, the surrounding aura of death intensified, terrifying the group of Skeletons behind him.
But, clearly, this was only the beginning.
Because, in the very next moment,
Right above the Skeleton Knight’s head, the space suddenly began to ripple like dark water.
And so, in this world teeming with Undead, for the first time in at least several hundred years, a powerful living being arrived.
The spatial ripples intensified.
The first thing to appear was a colossal head!
’Holy shit!!! Is it really that big?!!’
’Sure enough, watching it on video doesn’t even come close to the shock of seeing it in person!’
’This visual impact is just insane! So, Chief! My dear Chief, just What Tier is he? Tier Five? Or maybe Tier Six?!’
The Skeleton Knight looked up at the dark dome. Seeing the massive dragon head emerge, he felt his entire skeleton begin to tremble.
That terrifying pressure struck his very soul.
This was a fear that came from the depths of his being! It was the innate suppression of a lower-order lifeform by a higher-order one!
As the Giant Dragon turned its head to look down, its massive pupils shone in the darkness like two great lamps.
Then, in the next moment, the Giant Dragon finally crossed through the portal and fully descended into this space.
It spread its massive wings, hovering beneath the dome!
At that moment, countless nearby Undead, no matter what they were doing, all stopped their actions and looked up at the dark dome!
Terror?!
No!
Within the skulls of countless Undead, the flames that had been calm suddenly seemed to blaze ferociously.
At the same time, for some unknown reason, a Low Tier Skeleton was the first to make a sound.
It was the CLACK-CLACK sound of its upper and lower jaws repeatedly snapping open and shut.
Where there was one, there were soon two.
And so, in just a few breaths, it was as if the entire sea of bones had been infected. Skeletons far and near, even those who couldn’t see the Giant Dragon, began to enter a Frenzy!
These Skeletons stopped fighting each other and began to converge in the direction where the Giant Dragon had appeared.
Even the hundred-or-so Skeleton minions that the Skeleton Knight had subjugated now fell into an uncontrollable Frenzy under his gaze!
They tilted their heads to the sky, continuously clacking their jaws at the Giant Dragon.
At the same time, some of the Skeletons brandished weapons like Bone Blades, hacking mechanically at the sky.
But clearly, it was all futile.
However, in this land of white bone, there weren’t only humanoid or ground-based Skeleton soldiers.
There were also large numbers of flying skeletal beasts.
And the first thing Lince’s Giant Dragon had to face was a massive number of bat-like skeleton monsters.
There were a great many of these bat-like skeleton monsters, and they had been hanging from the dome of this huge Underground Space from the very beginning.
They seemed to have been in a deep slumber until today, when the living entity that was Lince’s Giant Dragon entered this world. Then, these creatures were all activated.
KAKAKA~~~
The strange sound spread throughout the entire world.
At this moment, the Skeleton Knight was dumbfounded.
’Holy shit, what is happening?’
"Chief, maybe you should just ignore me for now?! This situation is super weird! Don’t let me get you into trouble."
The Skeleton Knight immediately shouted anxiously to Lince through the power of their contract.
As for Lince, he was naturally dumbfounded as well.
’So, in this so-called Great Tomb, do all Undead Creatures have an extreme aversion to the living?’
’Or do they have a strong sensing ability and a mechanism that triggers an attack, like this skeleton tide, whenever a living being arrives?’
Lince also felt a little grim.
’But I’m already here. It’s the perfect chance to test my current strength. How could I lose face and leave in disgrace right after arriving?!’
"Don’t worry, I have a plan!"
"As it happens, I haven’t gone all out yet. Today, I’ll use these guys as practice!"
Lince said to the Skeleton Knight, Ah Cheng. And in the next moment, he made his move.
ROAR!!!
The Giant Dragon roared.
A massive soundwave reverberated throughout the dome.
Meanwhile, a large number of bat-like skeleton monsters were already swarming toward Lince.
Then, just as over a thousand of the bat-like skeleton monsters closed in on the Giant Dragon, a terrifying gravity field suddenly emanated from it!
And in the next instant!
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
Like rain, the bat-like skeleton monsters suddenly plummeted one after another like cannonballs, as if they had been struck by a heavy blow!
In just a moment, the entire ground was bombarded as if by a cannon barrage, and the large number of gathering Skeletons were blown to pieces!
"Holy fuck!!!"
"Chief, take it easy! I’m still down here!"
Faced with this sudden scene, the Skeleton Knight was first shocked, but then he cried out in alarm!
Because just now, a falling bat monster had landed right next to him.
It had even blown dozens of the miscellaneous Skeleton soldiers around him to smithereens.
The Skeleton Knight hurriedly canceled his Bone Horse Summoning Skill and quickly sank beneath the bone-littered ground.
In short, he hid as deep as he could go.
And as for those bat monsters, the Skeleton Knight had gotten a look at them.
’Fuck me, not a single one of them is below Tier Two! And most of them are Tier Three.’
’What the hell are these things?’
’Why have I never discovered them before?’
The Skeleton Knight, Ah Cheng, was inexplicably terrified.
’If he got hit by one of these falling bat monsters, even if it didn’t kill him, he’d lose an arm or a leg!’
Moreover, seeing his Chief unleashing his power, he felt it wasn’t a good time to interfere, so it was best to hide first.
「Meanwhile.」
The Giant Dragon soaring beneath the dome had already begun its massacre!
Facing the endless swarm of bat monsters, the Giant Dragon didn’t retreat. Instead, it charged toward the largest group surging forward.
At this time, some of the flying Skeleton grunts from the ground also began to join the siege in the sky.
But what they faced was not only the Giant Dragon’s gravity field attack but also terrifying Tornadoes that suddenly swirled into existence.
Six Tornadoes spawned around the Giant Dragon’s body.
Fueled by a massive injection of Magic Power, they rapidly expanded and broke free of the Giant Dragon’s control, sweeping out in all directions.
One meter in diameter.
Ten meters in diameter.
Thirty meters in diameter.
Controlling the Hurricane Technique, Lince pushed it to its absolute limit.
The terrifying Tornadoes connected the dome, at least a thousand meters up, to the sea of bones below.
They formed terrifying, localized natural disasters.
Wherever the Tornadoes passed, be it the vast number of bat monsters, the Low Tier Skeletons on the ground, or even the bone-littered ground itself, all the bones were swept into them!
Gale-force winds spun and howled within a several-hundred-square-kilometer area of the underground space, with the Giant Dragon at its center.
At the same time, over a thousand.
Ten thousand.
Countless, unending waves of Tierless Skeleton soldiers and monsters were all swept inside.
Under the pull of the Tornadoes, all the Skeletons were torn to pieces.
At the same time, the vast number of bones colliding with each other inside the Tornadoes were constantly shattered into smaller skeletal structures.
For Undead Creatures, the most important part is the skull.
As long as the skull is intact, the Soul Fire will not dissipate, and they will not die.
But unfortunately,
Under the force of the Tornadoes, a huge number of skulls quickly shattered as they collided with other skulls of different Equivalent Tiers.
And so, within the six tornadoes, countless shining lights of souls could be seen flashing and dissipating.
White, green, blue—these colors even turned the six tornadoes into six beautiful, colorful, rotating pillars of light.
’Such terrifying Power.’
’Can a Tier Six being really wield this?’
No!
Of course not.
If a High Tier existence were present, they would surely be able to tell.
The Hurricane Technique Lince used had long since reached the Tier of High Tier Magic capable of changing the weather.
And this was the Giant Dragon’s most unique advantage.
As higher-order beings, the purity and density of the Magic Power within their bodies were absolutely several, or even dozens of, times greater than that of conventional Races.
What’s more, Lince also possessed a Divine Tier Bloodline.
This made Lince an absolutely powerful type, even among Giant Dragons.
Therefore, at his current stage, Lince actually possessed combat power comparable to a member of the Human Race who had just entered Tier Seven.
It was just that Lince hadn’t been sure of it at first.
But now, Lince suddenly had a much more direct understanding of it!
’Sure enough, beneath High Tier, Low Tier existences and ordinary living beings are truly as weak as ants.’
’No wonder, during the previous war in the Eastern Realm, those High Tier beings had a tacit understanding to fight high in the sky, doing their best to avoid directly attacking the armies fighting on the ground.’
High Tier.
With this kind of strength, if they were to attack Low Tier soldiers and armies, it would truly be as unstoppable as a natural disaster.
However, after casting such a massive spell,
Lince immediately felt the immense drain on his Magic Power; it was almost bottomed out.
Because this large-scale Magic continuously absorbed surrounding Magic Power as it was being cast, the total amount of Magic Power in the entire Undead Space had instantly dropped significantly.
However, Lince had already prepared for this situation.
You see, at this moment, Lince’s inventory didn’t have much of anything, except for a large number of Middle Tier Magic Crystals.
Therefore, as he watched the six terrifying tornadoes sweep outwards, a large pile of Magic Crystals suddenly appeared in the Giant Dragon’s mouth.
The Giant Dragon’s jaws moved.
As if eating beans, it quickly swallowed nearly three hundred fist-sized Middle Tier Magic Crystals.
’Not bad. That replenished nearly half the Magic Power I used.’
Lince sensed his recovery and made a comment to himself.
Meanwhile, the Skeleton Knight, who was peeking half his head out from deep within a pile of bones like a sneaky camper, was staring dumbfounded at everything happening before him.
At this moment, the Skeleton Knight could only think that the gap between people was just too damn big, wasn’t it?
