Chapter 512 - 512: Fighting Skeletons - Part 1

The sound of bones scratching echoed and a skeleton horde passed through the portal. These skeletons vibrated as they walked, and the entire earth trembled under the army's advance. Their power varied from the 1st Layer of the Spiritual Realm to the 1st Layer of the Monarch Realm.

[Kill them all!] What appeared to be the leader of the skeletons, mounted on a bony horse, shouted.

"Oh, can you talk... Ooh?" Little Yui was surprised to hear the skeleton speak. So far, the previous two monsters have not said a single word that they were able to understand.

Little Emma was clicking her tongue while using spiritual mana. However, an absurd amount of skeletons started to appear from the portal, which was enough to scare anyone.

"... Madness," someone murmured.

"Look at them, Theo..." Aomi said beside him.

They were in a very large square, and there were a very, very, very, very, very, very large number of skeletons with armor and weapons filling the place. The armored skeletons sported a much more domineering spirit compared to normal skeletons. It was obvious that the undead were inside the armor.

[Not one of you guys will survive.]

[Prepare to die!]

[Your judgment is near.]

Even in death, these skeletons with armor did not forget the will and the techniques engraved on their bodies. They were skeletons who had a sense of identity: they were Skeleton Knights. Furthermore, they were all very powerful and were all on the 1st Layer of the Monarch Realm. In total there were 2000 of them. 

If a normal group in the Monarch Realm fought against their army, the possibility of victory was uncertain.

The skeleton at the front raised his sword towards the cultivators while his helmet glowed neon red in his helmet.

All the Skeleton Knights followed the one who was in the lead while aiming their swords at the cultivators, including Theo and Athena, and Waru's group.

While thinking that he should research more about these skeletons, Theo kicked off the ground and stepped into the air. He saw a woman on the 12th Layer of the Spiritual Realm almost being killed by a skeleton. She was the one closest to the skeleton horde and was therefore surrounded. After a hard attack, the woman was falling helpless in the air, so she could have been hurt even more.

[Kikiki! Huh?]

Theo reached the woman's side quickly and grabbed one of her arms before throwing her in Aomi's direction. Of course, the skeletons didn't recognize Theo's power, as they couldn't feel his power and attacked him madly.

[Die! Everyone has to die!] The bony skeletons screamed and attacked Theo.

[Huh!?]

*Crack!*

One punch from Theo was enough to turn the bones of one of the skeletons into thousands of pieces. All the shards flew towards the other skeletons, breaking some part of their bones.

When the woman suddenly flew towards Aomi, she held her tight and then put the woman down.

By Theo's standards, the skeletons, whether in armor or without armor, were an opponent that Theo found easy to face. In fact, it was easy to kill them and even interesting to do. The sound of bones breaking in some way was stimulating. It was like the sound a crispy cracker makes when it is chewed. Theo especially liked that sound.

[Monster!!]

[Yes, he is a monster! Be careful, and everyone: attack at the same time!]

The skeleton Theo killed with a punch was from the 12th Layer of the Spiritual Realm and had almost become a Skeleton Knight, so it was no wonder that the skeletons were confused.

Theo made the monster cores of the skeleton he killed float and fluctuate as he had it start attacking the horde of skeletons.

The woman who was saved was carried by Aomi at a distance and then healed, by the ability . After doing this, the woman who could barely keep her eyes open was amazed at this. She looked at Aomi as if looking at someone very powerful and skilled.

"Thank you!" The woman knelt on the floor and bowed towards Aomi, totally grateful for having been saved.

"If you want to thank someone, thank..." Aomi wasn't sure how to address Theo. Should she say Master as she did before, or just Theo, or something else? She ended up saying pointing to Theo. "Thank him."

"Yes, I know that, but I must also thank you. My name is Vivian Spindola. If there is anything I can do to repay the kindness of you both for saving me, I will not hesitate to do it, as long as it is not something that goes against my belief." The woman was very respectful and knew the importance of giving thanks when she was saved, especially in a place like this, where everyone was on their own.

She had already noticed Theo's group and was very impressed. Vivian came from the Green Star Planet and was afraid of what Theo would do to the people from her planet since she knew that some of them provoked him. Because of that, Theo saving her was the last thing she expected to happen.

"I'm going now," Aomi said, "If you have enough points, don't take too many chances, and stay away from these skeletons; their power level is completely different from the first two hordes."

"Yes, I noticed that. Thanks for the warning," Vivian said gratefully.

Vivian Spindola was very beautiful with scarlet red hair and blue eyes pulled up and a curved body with b.r.e.a.s.ts and a big ass. Her level of beauty was only slightly lower than Aomi.

Aomi left and went towards Theo, Little Yui, and Little Emma.

Aomi took action. As soon as she arrived, she kicked a skeleton in its armor and made the bones behind the armor fragment and the armor shatter. With just a single kick, she killed a Skeleton Knight.

Little Yui rotated the spear in her hands and attacked the skeletons of the Spiritual Realm. Cracking sounds echoed continuously, and the bones were scattered all over the floor. Little Yui's blows were accurate, and they always shattered the skeletons' bodies. She was just like her father; she liked the sounds that were made when the bones of the skeletons broke, so she always used the bladeless part of the spear when attacking.

"Tsk. Emma doesn't like to be left behind..." Little Emma grunted as she immediately activated her dragon form. She transformed into a powerful and gigantic fire dragon. Little Emma stepped on the skeletons, causing them to be crushed, leaving only bone debris and monster cores. With her dragon claws, she waved in the direction of the skeletons, and more than ten of them were killed with an attack. She did the same with the other claw and there were five more skeletons that shattered.

[Do not approach this dragon. Attack from afar!] a Skeleton Knight commanded.

Some skeletons holding staves began to conjure attacks and launched different types of attacks in the direction of Little Emma, but they were not even able to tickle her.

In her dragon form, Little Emma's defense was far superior to her normal defense, and she still wore perfect level 6 armor. If she got hurt by something as simple as a few fireballs among a few other attacks from other elements, it would be laughable.
