Chapter 1079: Skelly Family In Action - Part 17

Tang Shaoyang left the main battlefield and went after the Skelly Family. He was worried more about the skeletons than the Golden Dragon. Since the Guild Master had shown up, he did not need to worry about the main battlefield. On top of that, he did not spot any other Myth Rank there, so he assumed there would be more Myth Rank in the reinforcement.         

    

The Skelly Family delayed one of the reinforcements that came from the south. He watched how the Skelly Family, or Keeper, to be exact, delayed the reinforcement through the Spirit Eyes. Keeper changed its form into sniper and got the first shot. Six consecutive shots into the head made the reinforcement slow down their march.     

The reinforcement stopped and tried to look for who shot, but they could not find Keeper, who was around five hundred meters away from the reinforcement. When the reinforcement stopped, Keeper, released another three shoots, killing three people in the following five seconds.     

The Virandal Empire's soldiers could not really react in time because there was no pattern in Keeper's shoot. It would shoot the soldier in the front, then the next, it shot the back line. They could not really react because they had not found where the shot came from. However, the group realized that the shot came from ahead of them.     

The mage in the reinforcement created a large mana barrier in front of them. Three layers of mana barriers formed as the soldiers marched slowly while maintaining the barrier. Keeper tried to shoot once more, but the barrier blocked his bone bullet. Realizing the barrier was enough to block the shot, the soldiers picked up their paces.     

Keeper did not waste its time as it changed the bullet to dark energy. The dark-violet energy gathered at the tip of the muzzle for two seconds before the dark energy shot toward the incoming reinforcement. The dark energy blurred into a beam and pierced through the three layers of barriers. It continued and hit the soldier's head and pierced through the soldiers behind, killing three people at once.     

The sense of security that just went up in the soldiers immediately dropped. Terror started to boil in their hearts after seeing three layers of the barrier were not enough to block the incoming attack. The terror that maybe they would die in the next shot or something.     

The reinforcement slowed down once more, but this time, there was an angry yell from the group. The leader of the group forced the soldiers to pick up the pace despite the looming threat. Keeper shot once more twenty seconds later. Since it used Dark Energy, it needed to wait for a while to launch the next shoot.     

This time Keeper had learned more about the reinforcement's composition and recognized who set up the barrier. The next shoot landed on the five mages who marched in a line. Killing the five mages reduced the barrier by one.     

Tang Shaoyang could not help but feel proud and amazed. Keeper delayed the reinforcement alone as the other skeletons had not done anything since the reinforcement had not reached their range.     

"I am here. Get ready to assist me. We will fight them head-on!" Tang Shaoyang sent the message to the Skelly Family.     

The nine skeletons were excited to hear their master's voice. The excited replies rang in Tang Shaoyang's head from the skeletons. He did not regroup with the skeletons but directly went toward the group of reinforcement. Of course, he had done the scouting and found his target; there was one Myth Rank in the reinforcement.

"Sir. There's a person ahead of us!" The soldier kept moving in fear, but a few minutes later, they discovered a man standing in their path. The man had his hand on his chest with a big broadsword on the back. From the look of it, the man was not a passerby or, by any chance, crossed paths with them. The man was clearly waiting for them.     

"Kill! Kill whoever is in our path!" Along with the command, ten soldiers moved out from the formations. There was no talk or warning; they sheathed out their weapons and tried to kill the man.     

The first soldier that came out from the barrier instantly fell off as a bullet pierced through his forehead. The nine soldiers did not stop their advance, knowing one of them would fall from the shoot.     

Three steps out of the barrier, a big shadow loomed over them. The nine soldiers subconsciously looked up and saw four meters tall black skeletons fall toward them. Skelly4, Abyssal Destroyer, crushed one of the soldiers by landing on the head. As soon as Skelly4 touched the ground, Skelly4 swung the eight battle-axes, killing four soldiers at once as the battle-axes cut them into pieces.     

The remaining four soldiers were terrified and tried to get back into the barrier. However, Skelly4 did not let them return to the barrier. With one leap, it landed between the four soldiers. The four battle-axes cut down the four soldiers, cutting the soldier into two.     

"Fool! Don't get scared! There are only two enemies! Move together!" Despite the horrifying scene of how they witnessed their ten comrades die, the soldiers scared their commander even more. More than half of the reinforcements rushed out of the barrier and surrounded Tang Shaoyang and Skelly4.     

The soldiers did not immediately attack Tang Shaoyang and Skelly4 but surrounded the two instead. It was hard to understand why the soldiers acted like this because they were free targets for the Keeper. The Archmaster Gunslinger kept sniping them from far away.     

"Morons! Don't just surround them! Attack them, idiot!" The Captain's angry roar rang in the air. The soldiers immediately moved along with the roar, swarming to Tang Shaoyang.     

Skelly5, Abyssal Guardian, made its appearance after Skelly4. It landed in front of Tang Shaoyang and Skelly4, as it immediately formed a barrier with dark energy. Following its appearance, five black fireballs came from above the soldiers, landing on five different spots.     

The forest filled with the cries of the soldiers as chaos ensued amidst the soldiers. The remaining Skelly Family took advantage of the chaos as they slipped into the soldiers' formation and started the massacre.     

The soldiers were between level 750 to level 900. There was no Epic Rank or higher in the hundred and fifty soldiers that surrounded Tang Shaoyang. The Myth Rank and Four Epic Ranks stayed inside the barrier, along with ten mages and a group of ten knights.     

"Drop the barrier and use your most powerful offensive spell on that black-haired man. It seems our enemy is a Necromancer. We just need to kill the man, and the skeleton will disappear along with him" The Captain set the new order for the remaining ten mages.     

The ten mages looked at each other with troubling expressions. "But our soldiers…." Their spell would hit their allies too.         

    

The Captain took his broadsword from his back and cut the mage's head, who talked back at him. The head flew off into the air as the body fell to the ground. "Is there anyone who dares to question my order?"     

The nine mages immediately dropped the barrier and prepared the joint spell. In the next ten thirty seconds, they released the spell. They released a tsunami of fire toward Tang Shaoyang. The fire moved like the big wave of a tsunami, twenty meters tall and two hundred meters wide.     

Tang Shaoyang could not believe that the leader of the reinforcement would do something this extreme, sacrificing over a hundred soldiers. "I can't let them kill the soldiers. My Skelly Family needs the soldiers for their levels." He leaped out from the crowd toward the tsunami of fire.     

Tang Shaoyang stopped right before the tsunami of fire and put his right hand into the fire. The moment his right hand touched the fire, the tsunami stopped. Utilizing the [Archmaster Elemental] Skill, he took control of the fire. He did not know if the skill could work on the fire that the enemy released. If it did not work, he would use his mana barrier to hold the barrier, but the skill worked.     

Tang Shaoyang then raised his right hand toward the sky, and the tsunami of fire moved toward the sky. His action surprised the Captain and also the soldiers. He saved the soldiers, and the fact that he directed the tsunami of fire to the sky also surprised the Captain. While that joint spell might not kill him, it should be enough to kill the ten knights and the nine mages who exhausted their mana to launch such a big-scale spell if the black-haired man directed the tsunami of fire back at them.     

The distance between Tang Shaoyang and the Captain was thirty meters away. The Captain now could use Detection on Tang Shaoyang to figure out the enemy rank. As soon as he got the result, the Captain grinned ear to ear.     

"You are quite brave for a Necromancer to put yourself in front of me." The Captain eyed Tang Shaoyang for a while, observing him from top to bottom. He was sure that the Ancient Rank in front of him did not wear armor but just normal clothes, albeit the clothes looked strange.     

"Or maybe you are a Dark Mage? The Necromancer can't control such a massive fire spell, so you are Dark Mage." The smile on the Captain became wider. In the next moment, the Captain slaughtered his subordinates. He killed the nine mages and the ten knights, leaving the four Epic Ranks.     

"Don't answer. I don't need to know about someone who is about to die." As the Captain spoke, Tang Shaoyang noticed that the blood from the people that had just died moved toward the Captain's feet. The blood was absorbed by the Captain, not just from the nine mages and the ten knights, but from all the soldiers that had died earlier.     

"You should feel honored to die in my hand, who holds the special class, Blood Berserker!" The Captain's skin turned red, along with his eyes. He licked the swords as he glanced at Tang Shaoyang smugly.
