Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution - Chapter 397

“What… what do you mean?”

Ghost Fiend Lord was confused. Though this skeleton and woman spoke words he understood, when strung together, he couldn’t comprehend their meaning at all.

“Seems you’re quite the reclusive lord. No need to understand then.”

After Jiang Cheng spoke, while Ghost Fiend Lord was still bewildered, a long azure blade suddenly appeared in his hand.

In that moment of shock, he brought it down on Ghost Fiend Lord from above.

*Boom*

Though No Mercy’s blade was sharp, when it struck Ghost Fiend Lord’s skull, it only created a small crack.

But Jiang Cheng wasn’t concerned. The next moment, a pair of golden bone wings swept horizontally at Ghost Fiend Lord from both sides.

Forced Blade Retraction!

Another slash!

Five lightning-fast slashes fell.

Nine Instant Slashes.

In that instant, seven blue afterimages and two golden flashes illuminated the dark cave entrance.

*Boom*

As the nine slashes fell, Nether Embrace activated. A hand from the netherworld burst from the cave floor, grabbing Ghost Fiend’s ankles and rendering him immobile.

After evolution, his secondary weapon Calamity – Wings of the Seven Slaughters had evolved into Nether Wings – Seven Slaughters, inheriting and enhancing the Seven Slaughters properties.

【Nether Wings – Seven Slaughters】

Quality: Mythical

HP +1200

MP +1200

Strength +50

Agility +50

Spirit +50

Critical Damage +50%

Nether Seven Slaughters: Each attack triggers true damage equal to 15% of own HP. 2% chance to trigger Seven Slaughters effect, dealing 80% of previous damage in seven consecutive strikes. After seven strikes, causes 0.7 seconds of soul dispersion effect, target loses control for 0.7 seconds.

Nether Wings: Thirty-six golden bone spikes transform into netherworld wings, capable of dealing two defense-piercing attacks to enemy units.

When Nether Wings – Seven Slaughters’ Nether Seven Slaughters property activated, seven golden flashes lit up the cave once more.

Within two seconds, Jiang Cheng had struck sixteen times!

Jiang Cheng’s critical damage now reached 12x, and of the sixteen strikes, fourteen triggered criticals.

Adding No Mercy’s special property, three strikes triggered the 3x effect, and one strike triggered the 20x effect.

With Jiang Cheng’s attack power of 6,325, that single 20x No Mercy effect multiplied to 240x!

Though Ghost Fiend Lord had over 3,000 defense, after armor pierce and defense reduction, that single strike still dealt a terrifying 820,000 damage.

Sixteen strikes dealt a total of 2.6 million damage.

Though Ghost Fiend Lord was a level 80 Mythical Boss, his HP was only around 80 million.

This caused the immobilized Ghost Fiend’s expression to change drastically.

He was completely passive now, unable to move, attack, or cast spells.

Though he could feel the restriction slowly fading, in just that instant, he had lost considerable life force.

This archer was truly extraordinary!

They had been foolish to think he was really just an archer!

“Who exactly are you?”

Though he couldn’t move or attack, he could still speak.

Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng was focused on attacking and couldn’t be bothered to respond.

“Hmph, with your strength, you’re far from being able to kill me.”

Four seconds later, Ghost Fiend Lord could feel himself gradually breaking free from the netherworld hand’s control.

And Jiang Cheng’s damage to him didn’t even count as a light injury.

“I advise you to honestly reveal your identity and purpose for coming to the kingdom. Otherwise, once I break free, don’t blame me for showing no mercy!”

*Boom*

The netherworld hand suddenly shattered.

The control effect disappeared.

The netherworld hand had a particularly dominating hidden property: while it existed, no other control effects could be stacked on the target or cancel it out. It could only inflict some debuffs.

Moreover, once triggered, it couldn’t be triggered again for 20 seconds.

If one didn’t handle the timing of the netherworld hand’s disappearance well, things could easily go wrong.

But Jiang Cheng wasn’t concerned. Though Nether Moon Barrier was on cooldown and he hadn’t prepared to use Judgment Prison.

But he still had his wife.

“Abyss Grasp!”

A Silly Cutie’s Abyss Grasp was very similar to his netherworld hand, just with 2 seconds less control time.

But it was enough.

As thirty-six abyss hands burst from the ground, one perfectly caught Ghost Fiend Lord the instant the netherworld hand vanished.

The Ghost Fiend Lord, who had just been furiously preparing to kill Jiang Cheng, was dumbfounded.

While the netherworld hand existed, though control effects couldn’t stack, debuffs could still be applied.

During those five seconds, Transmutation, Soul Suppression, Death’s Judgment, and Reincarnation effects all triggered.

Transmutation stacked four times, reducing Ghost Fiend Lord’s attack by 4%. Soul Suppression triggered three times, directly eliminating 30% of Ghost Fiend Lord’s MP.

Death’s Judgment, evolved from Hecate’s Pin, appeared once, eliminating 1% of Ghost Fiend Lord’s HP.

Reincarnation effect reduced Ghost Fiend Lord’s HP and MP recovery by 3,000%.

And when the three-second control was about to vanish, as Jiang Cheng’s golden bone spikes on his chest sank into the ground, they transformed into 3,672 bone spikes that burst from the earth, piercing Ghost Fiend Lord’s foot bones.

After impaling him, they firmly held Ghost Fiend Lord in place.

The appearance of Judgment Prison nearly drove Ghost Fiend Lord to breakdown.

What kind of dog skeleton was this, how could he be so dogged?

From the start until now, he hadn’t moved once!

Brother, if you’ve got the ability, don’t use these kinds of spells!

Damn it!

Too frustrating!

But he still maintained a glimmer of hope in his heart, refusing to believe this dog skeleton could keep him restricted until death.

Three minutes later.

The reality was indeed as he thought this blue dog skeleton couldn’t restrict him until death.

But at the same time, he discovered his magic power was completely gone, and his strength was less than 20% of normal…

Not only that, but his usually extremely powerful recovery ability was now completely useless?

This made him panic.

The restriction was gone, but as the archer had said, his attack power, MP, and recovery ability were all gone…

How the hell could he fight back!

“Brother, you’re my dear brother, we can talk this out. We’ve known each other for some time, there’s history between us, can’t you show some consideration?”

“Brother, stop, I…”

*Slash*

With one strike, the skull separated from the vertebrae, and the Skeleton Kingdom’s mighty Ghost Fiend Lord became yet another frustrated soul under Jiang Cheng’s blade.

However, Jiang Cheng didn’t resurrect him, after all, this one wasn’t worth his time.

His skills and talents weren’t what Jiang Cheng wanted.

Though after death, he dropped quite a few items that made A Silly Cutie’s eyes light up.

“Alright, my silly little one, quickly pick them up. I’m going to earn some Soul Power to prepare for tomorrow.”

“Mustn’t keep Bone Duke waiting.”
