Chapter 175 [Energy Wave]

While walking down the stairs with careful but hurried steps, Nathan still has the time to look around this pathway.

"Did they manually excavate this with a shovel? It looks quite rough." He said,

Just like any other stairs, this stairs looks just like a normal set of stairs.

"I guess even if this is a pathway that leads to the center of the Earth, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be special or anything, huh."

Saying that, Nathan stopped paying attention to this and speeded up his steps again.

After almost an hour of non-stop walking in the dark.

Nathan finally saw some light ahead.

His eyes lit up.

"Finally! I almost went crazy walking there with only pure darkness around me. Even the light on my flashlight seems to have swallowed the darkness at some point."

Sighing, Nathan hurried up and soon arrived at an opening that seemed to be an entrance to another room.

Once he got in, Nathan was stunned by the things he saw.

"What!?"

What appeared in his sight were hundreds of moving skeletons, holding weapons such as swords, spears, shields, knives, axes, etc.

In their hollow eye sockets, a small blue fire seems to burn calmly, showing that they are in a non-aggressive state.

The sight of hundreds of skeletons inside one room, making a scene that could only be seen in horror movies normally, was quite a sight to behold!

Nathan backed away for a moment, just enough for him to remain unnoticed by the skeletons but still able to observe them.

"From their movements, I can conclude that this bunch are just monsters with low intelligence."

Nathan muttered after seeing most of the skeletons bumping into each other, causing rattling sounds from the bones colliding.

*Click, Clack*

At this time, some of the nearest skeletons to Nathan somehow noticed his presence.

Slowly turning their heads at him, the fire in their eyes flickered for a moment before turning red and burned more fiercely, signifying that they have become hostile.

Clank! Clank!

Those few skeletons raised their arms holding their weapons and started making some noise.

Because of the commotion, the other skeleton around the room turned their heads where Nathan is hiding.

Immediately, their eyes also turned aggressive and they raised their weapons in the air.

Maybe it was because these skeletons only have low intelligence, the scene was quite disorganized.

But even so, if a normal person stood in here, they would pissed off their pants from fright without a doubt.

Watching all this, Nathan let out a helpless sigh.

"I guess hiding was useless, huh."

Raising his head, a serious look appeared on his face.

"Well, this is good as well. I don't have time to waste so I should just get rid of this all and get to the center of the Earth as fast as possible."

Slowly walking out of the darkness, Nathan faced the hundreds of skeletons looking at him full of aggressiveness.

Then, the next second, both him and those skeletons rush towards each other.

This time, Nathan did not choose to use his sword, instead, he wanted to use his fist to try out his physical power.

Punching the head of the closest monster to him, the skeleton did not even get the chance to attack before it turned into dust from the power of his light punch.

Boom!

Nathan was not surprised by this as he has already used appraisal in that short time he was 'hidden' earlier.

The skeletons here only have around 7 to 10 in physique and 0.5 in spirit.

This was the first time that Nathan saw a decimals on attributes and was a little surprised about it.

But after thinking of it, skeletons are monsters that have little to no intellect and so, having that little in spirit is understandable.

No longer thinking of it, Nathan continued pummeling skeleton after skeleton as he advanced forward into the middle of the room.

After a while, Nathan frowned,

"Punching them one by one is too time consuming. With the number of skeletons in this room, it would take me a few minutes to clean them all up,"

Grabbing a skeleton that was slashing its sword at him, Nathan threw it at the other skeletons ahead, killing them in the process.

Then he said, "Hmm, with this many enemies, I guess I can try out that move that I thought of the other day, huh."

After saying that, Nathan jumped 5 meters into the air.

Controlling the energy inside his body using his thoughts, Nathan started gathering a small amount of it into his arms.

When the gravity started pulling Nathan down again, he took a punching poster.

Then when he was about to land, Nathan suddenly punched the ground without putting much physical strength in it.

Then the next second…

BOOOOOM!!

A loud explosion sounded in the room with Nathan at the center.

Then, a wave of energy appeared, passing through all the skeletons.

As the energy wave was big enough, it was able to cover the whole room without a problem, 'hitting' all the skeletons in the process.

As the skeletons got hit by the energy wave, it was like they were exposed to a great pressure.

The fire in their eyes was suddenly extinguished and they fell into the ground, unmoving.

At the center of it all, Nathan remained in his posture when he landed, with his fist on the ground like those superheroes who make dramatic landings.

After a while, Nathan moved.

He stood up and dusted himself,

"Phew, that raised quite a lot of dust that it even stuck on me." He said,

"But still…"

He looked around him and saw all the skeletons on the ground, dead.

"I did not expect that such a small amount of energy was enough to take down all those skeletons, huh."

As someone who has level 25 in spirits, Nathan naturally has a vast amount of energy inside his body, millions of times that of a normal average human.

Earlier, when covering his fist with his [Energy], Nathan used about 100 counts of average energy a human has.

​ Compared to Nathan's millions of times, that 100 is just a drop in the bucket for him.

But in reality, 100 average human energies combined is already around the level between 7 and 8.

Blowing off a pull power of someone who's around level 7 or 8 is probably enough to demolish a building with their bare hands.

Shaking his head, Nathan stopped thinking of that.

Waving his hands, he collected all the skeleton corpses and threw them all into his storage.

Turning his eyes at the end of the room, opposite of where he entered earlier, there he saw newly appeared stairways leading downwards, just like the one he went on back at the [Guarding Treants] room.

"It's time to head down!"
