[Activating this skill will turn your body, along with your clothes, into a skeleton instead of a walking dead, and enter a detachable state. You can freely switch between a complete humanoid skeleton and a skeleton divided into six segments. Beware! If you don’t restore yourself to a complete humanoid form before deactivating this skill, you may suffer severe injuries.]
‘”Skeleton Form’? A skill skin? And it’s functional too! Is it really okay to have so much fun with this?”
Noland Lee’s interest was instantly piqued!
At first glance, ‘Skeleton Form’ seemed like lots of fun, and it would surely have unexpected effects in special scenarios!
But… but this ‘AFK Level Up’ was just too tempting.
‘Breath of the Dead’ is now at level 10.
To manually level it to 11, it would require 100 energy points.
To AFK level up to 11, ‘Breath of the Dead’ needs to be activated for 50 hours, consuming 5 Soul Strength points and 50 energy points.
The energy consumption is reduced by half in comparison!
If Noland Lee chose the ‘AFK Level Up’ feature, he would undoubtedly save a lot of energy points.
It is a good “cost-saving” method.
However, instead of figuring out how to “save money”, it’s better to think about how to use ‘Skeleton Form’ to “increase income” by obtaining more energy points.
After all, from Noland Lee’s two lifetimes of experience as a human, “saving money” would not make people rich; it would only slow down the rate of poverty. The only thing that can truly make people rich is making a fortune. There was no doubt that ‘Skeleton Form’ was a feature that could take shortcuts and make a fortune!
“I choose option three! ‘Skeleton Form’!”
Noland Lee murmured and then had a thought in his heart.
His body transformed from its original flesh structure into a pure skeleton.
The next second, the skeleton split into six segments.
His skull, two arms, two legs, and the torso fell apart, dropping to the ground, and rolling a few times before stopping.
Noland Lee’s figure could no longer be seen in the corridor, and instead, there were only piles of gray-white bones left on the floor.
The aberration elite monsters seemed dumbfounded, as it was evident that they froze for a few seconds. It wasn’t until they were bumped from behind by the little aberration monsters that they snapped back to reality.
“Chirp!”
The leading Devourer let out a hiss, charging forward and heading straight for the hole in the ceiling.
When they reached the spot directly below the hole, you stepped on my back, and I stepped on your arm, using their bodies to build a ladder leading to the ceiling hole.
A mound of flesh more than 5 meters tall appeared in the corridor. One aberration after another stepped on their companions’ bodies, leaping into the hole in the ceiling and successfully reaching the demon rat nest.
At the bottom of this flesh mountain formed by the accumulated aberrations, two human arms struggled to squeeze out of a narrow gap.
They grabbed the two legs behind them and pulled hard, finally managing to pull the two legs free from the pile of flesh after a lot of effort.
Noland Lee’s head lay on the ground, looking up at the flesh mountain in front of him, feeling incredibly small all of a sudden…
“It’s an illusion, an illusion. It’s because my head isn’t attached to my torso that my viewing perspective has changed, ”
Noland Lee looked around, taking in his legs, arms, and torso lying around his skull, his eyes filled with a spark of novelty.
He muttered in his heart and turned back into a complete human figure.
He looked down at his skeletal body with gaps in it and took out a mirror to examine his hollow skull. Noland Lee discovered what was different.
The skeletons he had encountered before had a light orb inside their skulls. The Undead Cult’s skeletons had dark green or purple-black light orbs, and Hickman Arlington had black light orbs.
However, there was no light orb inside his skull. The inside of his head was empty, and he didn’t feel anything unusual when he stuck his finger in and stirred it around through his eye sockets.
Noland Lee didn’t understand why his skeleton form was different from other common skeletons.
The aberrations kept passing by both sides of his body, treating him like air. Seeing that no aberrations paid attention to him, Noland Lee’s heart was at ease.
He put away his mirror and looked up at the demon rat nest, finding the location of Philia and the others.
The combination of demon rats and aberrations sounded powerful, but in reality, it wasn’t very effective.
The aberrations were artificially interfered with and came to support the Blackbone Hermit.
But when they entered the nest, they first saw the lively demon rats instead of Philia and the others.
It was clear that the Blackbone Hermit had a way to summon the aberrations, but their control over them was very limited.
They couldn’t stop the aberrations from fighting the demonized rats.
When Noland Lee looked up, he didn’t see Philia and the others retreating, but a gruesome scene of the aberrations and demonized rats locked in battle against each other.
Mad aberrations were covered with insane demonized rats, their fangs sinking into them from head to toe.
The frenzied demonized rats tore into the aberration’s flesh, ripping out chunks of blood and gore.
The aberration elite monsters unleashed their full firepower.
Devourers, similar to velociraptors in appearance, used their iron-whip-like tails to sweep back and forth. With a “snap” sound, they whipped circle around the spot, directly exploding the body of the demonized rats, shattering their fangs.
The Seeder’s tentacles flailed wildly, like willow branches tormented by a violent wind. As the tentacles lashed at the demonized rats like whips, they also spread massive amounts of venom, creating a bloody storm of tentacles.
In other words, the arrival of the aberrations only caused a chaotic situation among the parties involved, without providing any help whatsoever.
Unless all the demonized rats at the scene were exterminated, the aberrations couldn’t even see Philia and the others, because there were too many rats blocking the nest’s corridor and completely occupying their field of view.
For the Blackbone Hermit’s side, things got even worse.
Their position was right in between Philia’s group and the aberrations.
If they tried to walk toward the first or second layer of the nest, they’d run into Philia and the others head-on, resulting in a chaotic battle mixed with rats.
However, if they escaped into the underground 14th layer through the hole in the third layer, they would encounter the chaotic battlefield of the aberrations ana me aemomzea rats.
What could the Blackbone Hermits do in such a situation?
Wait and set up defenses, or take advantage of the chaos to flee?
Noland Lee thought that if he were the Young Raven, he would definitely choose to flee.
The reason was simple.
They managed to repel Philia and her group this time, but next would come the Life Essence Society’s core combat power – the Demon Hunters. This was a professional alchemist combat team, equipped with control-type alchemical suits.
If they didn’t flee now, would they wait for experts to come and clean out the nest?
Noland Lee’s thoughts coincided with those of the Young Raven.
While he was pondering the enemy’s motives during this time, intermittent cries of panic and frustration could be heard from the hole above.
“Keep moving forward! Don’t you dare look back!… Don’t look back! Push these damn aberrations and rats away!… This is an order! You lazy alchemy slaves! If you dare to retreat, I’ll rip your hearts out!”
The Young Raven’s voice was filled with desperation and anger.
“Damn it! Damn it all! All these aberrations are idiots! Go kill those from
Elemental Judgement! Go! You useless creatures! I called you here to deal with Elemental Judgement, not to play cat and mouse! Leave these damn rats and kill Elemental Judgement’s people!!”
“Roar!”
Unable to stand the Young Raven’s incessant nagging any longer, a Devourer let out a furious roar and led a group of underlings to charge at the Young Raven and the Blackbone Warlocks.
“You bastards! I’m your master! Get away! Back off!”
It was unclear what the Young Raven did, but several muffled explosions were heard coming from the third layer of the nest.
The aberrations that had charged at the Young Raven died one after another in rapid succession.
Noland Lee couldn’t see the specific situation inside the nest.
But!
He immediately noticed the large number of corpses that appeared beside the Young Raven!
Regular demonized rat corpses were only Level o and couldn’t be used as targets for casting “Evil Blast.”
Although the humanoid rat corpses were Level 3, they were too scattered and few in number.
The sudden appearance of a large number of aberration corpses beside the Young Raven – who could resist the temptation if they had mastered the “Evil Blast” technique?
It was like Yasuo having his ultimate move ready when he sees a Stone Golem knocking five enemy heroes into the air!
If he unleashed the move, he might die, but he would only regret it for a second.
Not using it would lead to regret for the entire game!
What’s the point of holding back when you have a powerful move?
To raise goldfish?
“Die! For! Me!”
