Digging to Survive: I Can See Hints - Chapter 252

Chapter 252: A Skeleton That Knows Magic

Klein, who was sprinting, sensed the huge commotion behind him. He didn’t dare to underestimate it and hurriedly turned his head back.

Klein was slightly speechless when he saw the land falling from the sky.

Without having the time to say anything, Klein brandished the Endless Sword in his hand. A flash of blade light flashed, and the earth that filled the sky was shattered by the blade light.

Klein deliberately avoided the skeleton when he brandished his blade.

He didn’t know if the skeleton would mutate again if he continued to kill it. If that happened again, the skeleton’s strength might far exceed his expectations the next time.

It would be even more difficult to deal with it then.

However, the skeleton clearly had no scruples. Without any hesitation, it brandished the blood blade in its hand and slashed down at Klein.

The blood knife wasn’t an ordinary knife. Upon closer inspection, it was suffused with various elements.

There was the acceleration of the wind element, the heat of the fire element, the sharpness of the metal element, and so on.

This made Klein’s eyes shrink.

Clearly, the beast in front of him was very smart. It knew how to use magic to augment its attacks!

However, Klein wasn’t flustered. He had the most powerful divine artifact, the Endless Sword!

The blood blade’s momentum was fierce, and the Endless Sword aura was extremely terrifying.

The world was black, and the blood blade seemed like it was about to split open the darkness of the world.

Klein snorted coldly and once again slashed out a beam of light at the bone blade.

As the beam of light flew out, Klein suddenly felt a wave of weakness.

Klein hurriedly steadied himself and carefully felt the changes in his body.

It turned out that the Endless Sword’s mana consumption was extremely terrifying.

Even with Klein’s current mana reserves, he wouldn’t be able to make ends meet if he were to wield the Endless Sword in a short period of time.

With this in mind, Klein shook his head and thought to himself, ‘Looks like the price of wielding the Endless Sword is very high.’

With his current mana reserves, it was only enough for him to wield the Endless Sword ten times.

If he used it frequently, it might only be enough for him to use it five times!

Of course, this wasn’t to say that the Endless Sword was of little value.

Instead, it was because the power of the Endless Sword was just too great!

One had to know that the strength of the skeleton wasn’t inferior to the Stone of Destruction back then.

To cast such a massive spell and stir up the power of nature, it couldn’t be underestimated. However, Klein could easily destroy it with the Endless Sword, so he could naturally see how powerful the Endless Sword was.

One had to know that Klein had nearly died when he defeated the Stone of Destruction.

If it weren’t for the fact that he had comprehended the gold element at the last moment, he would have been gone by now.

As expected, the Endless Sword once again rendered meritorious service. The skeleton’s bone saber was directly cut in half by the Endless Sword.

The broken bone saber was instantly enveloped by purplish-black flames. Before it landed on the ground, it began to burn in the sky.

However, the skeleton remained expressionless as it launched another attack at Klein.

Klein didn’t dare to kill it out of fear that the skeleton would be reborn. He could only summon Little Fox after the skeleton’s second attack and have it search for the third statue.

Little Fox also knew that the skeleton in front of her was very difficult to deal with. She nodded and charged in the direction that Klein was pointing at.

After Little Fox left, Klein faced the skeleton again. This time, he didn’t use the Endless Sword. After all, the consumption of the Endless Sword was too great.

If he were to exhaust himself in a short period of time, it would be fine if he could deal with the skeleton. If he couldn’t, he would be completely in a passive position.

Furthermore, this was likely a trap set up by Raksha.

Klein had to leave behind enough backup to deal with Raksha.

Just as Klein was about to cast another spell, a system notification suddenly appeared in front of him.

[This is an enchantment creature. To defeat it, you have to destroy the enchantment! If you kill it ahead of time, it will only allow the enchantment creature to use the strange objects in the enchantment to increase its strength. Destroying the enchantment is like obtaining any strange object and breaking the balance within the enchantment.]

Upon seeing the system’s notification, Klein revealed a look of understanding.

His guess was indeed correct.

The best way to defeat the skeleton was to break the barrier.

Now, he could only continue waiting.

As long as Little Fox found the last statue, he would be able to take it down as quickly as possible. At that time, the skeleton in front of him wouldn’t be anything to be afraid of!

With this in mind, Klein cast another spell to delay the skeleton.

…

About half an hour later, Little Fox brought good news to Klein.

Coming in front of Klein, Little Fox bared her fangs and brandished her claws. She was very happy as she constantly pointed at a certain spot.

Klein looked over and shook his head slightly. It seemed like his sense of direction was still bad.

He didn’t expect the deviation to be so great!

This made Little Fox tired.

Looking at Little Fox covered in sweat, it was obvious that she had put in a lot of effort in order to find the last statue.

But now wasn’t the time to talk about that. Under the guidance of Little Fox, Klein quickly flew towards the third statue.

Klein’s speed was very fast, and the skeleton behind him wasn’t slow either.

After familiarizing himself with wind magic, the skeleton’s speed was no longer as stiff as before.

In addition to the flesh and blood given to it by the second statue, the skeleton was no different from a human except that it was very tall.

It constantly cast spells to interfere with Klein’s flight.

This caused terrifying explosions to constantly ring out behind Klein, greatly slowing him down.

“No, there might be some changes if this continues!”

Klein watched as the other party’s speed increased, and the attacks from the spells became more and more violent. He knew that he couldn’t continue like this.

The skeleton’s mana seemed to be infinite.

Despite releasing so many spells in such a short period of time, it didn’t seem to have any signs of mana exhaustion.

Clearly, this fellow had some of the powers of the Stone of Destruction, which was that it could recover its mana infinitely within the enchantment.

Against such enemies, unless he struck their vital points, it was impossible to deal with them in such a short period of time.

Furthermore, Klein had a faint guess in his heart.

Raksha definitely wouldn’t let him break the barrier so easily.

Once they knew his goal, it was very likely that Raksha would make an early move.

This was something Klein couldn’t accept!

With this in mind, Klein summoned Little Wind once again and gave him a death order to stop the skeleton.

Little Wind’s support abilities were very strong.

[Species: Tornado Pangolin]

[Name: Little Wind]

[Status: Healthy]

[Ability: Assault Hammer, Terrain Modification…]

[Assault Hammer: Instantly increases the speed of the pangolin, ramming it into the enemy. While dealing damage to the enemy, stuns the enemy for five seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute.]

[Terrain modification: Changes the current terrain. Can be used to create traps, buildings, and so on.]

…

After Klein’s constant nurturing, the pangolin’s abilities had improved greatly compared to before.

In particular, the control skill, Assault Hammer, was practically a control artifact. This was also the re
