Chapter 93 Dead Root
"Crunch! Crunch!"
The enormous skeletal hand kept tightening inwards.
Ruthel struggled desperately to push herself outwards.
There seemed to be an invisible force field in that palm, affecting her and preventing her from using her secret technique to teleport away!
"Rutil!"
Xia Tong shouted.
Xia Tong, who had only gone halfway, gently patted Toret's neck, signaling it to charge at full speed!
Upon receiving Xia Tong's command, Torret suddenly increased his speed, becoming twice as fast as before!
Xia Tong then reached into a ceramic jar that was fixed to Toret.
That contains the magical oils he had previously obtained!
He took out a piece and smeared it on the Lion Greatsword.
With a "sizzle" sound.
Instantly, the Lion Greatsword was enveloped in a bright, deep blue glow.
The light was not static, but rather flowed like mercury, gently undulating across the surface of the blade, radiating a captivating magical aura.
Using the momentum of the horse, Xia Tong leaped off Toret.
Immediately afterwards, he curled up into a ball in mid-air.
With the support of his mental power, Xia Tong felt as if he had become one with the Lion Greatsword in his hand, transforming into a male lion pouncing on its prey.
Combat Technique - Lion Slash!
The Lion Greatsword, glowing with a deep blue magical light, slashed fiercely at the skeletal phantom arm that was grabbing Ruthel!
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound.
The giant skeletal phantom's arm was completely severed!
Ruthel, however, broke free and slowly dissolved into the air.
When she reappeared, she was already beside the ferryman.
He thrust out his spear and smashed it into the skull ferryman's head!
With a "bang".
The latter was immediately knocked into the water.
The entire ferry boat was startled and disappeared again!
The lost knight Ingwell, far away, had long since risen from the ruins.
Although he was injured, his fighting spirit remained undiminished.
He wielded the halberd of the Lost Knight with fierce power, smashing the skeleton militia crawling out of the water time and time again.
Together with the last remaining lone wolf, he had already taken down more than twenty ordinary skeleton militiamen!
"Leave this giant skeletal phantom to me! It won't be able to catch me again!"
Ruth's voice rang in Xia Tong's mind through the mental connection, carrying a hint of anger and hidden pride.
Xia Tong nodded gently, indicating her trust.
He then rode Torret and continued his pursuit of the skeleton ferryman.
But then he was dumbfounded.
Because the area in front of me was completely empty, and the figure of the skeleton ferryman had completely disappeared.
He searched all around but couldn't find it.
Shuihuan Village was originally a village submerged by shallow water. Its terrain was complex, and many broken walls and ruins obstructed the view, while thick fog also shrouded the area.
There was no way to find where that guy had hidden!
"Ring ring—"
On a sudden inspiration, Xia Tong summoned the soul jellyfish Kurala again.
Following Xia Tong's instructions, Kurala continuously shook her tentacles and umbrella-like body, and her whole body floated higher and higher into the sky.
After a short while, it rose extremely high.
From her unobstructed aerial view, Kurala quickly located the hiding place of the Tibia Calling Ship.
"To the east! Behind those tall, ruined buildings!"
Kurala pointed in a direction through telepathy and then floated in that direction as well.
Xia Tong lightly kicked Toret's flank, closely following Kurala's guidance.
With a "whoosh" sound!
With a double jump, Torret leaped directly over the dilapidated ruins floating in the shallow water.
As the horseshoes sank into the water once more, the Tibian calling boat reappeared before Xia Tong's eyes.
The skeleton ferryman was hiding in the corner, trying to blow the horn again.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Xia Tong took advantage of the horse's momentum and leaped up.
Another powerful lion slash came crashing down from high above!
"Crack!"
This time, the Lion Greatsword struck the hull of the Calling Ship directly.
The entire ship was immediately damaged, with most of it destroyed.
The skeleton ferryman was thrown off the boat by the enormous impact and landed awkwardly in the water.
With a "sizzle" sound.
Kurala swooped down from the sky, spraying a stream of purplish-red venom that covered the skeleton ferryman.
A cloud of pungent smoke immediately rose up.
However, this skeleton ferryman seems to have no sense of pain.
Even when its body was corroded by strong acid, it could only open its mouth and let out a silent roar, trying to struggle to get up.
"it's over."
Xia Tong then followed up with a few more moves of Gorilla Star Meteor.
Under the triple attack of physical damage, magic, and poison, the Skeleton Ferryman finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Its withered skeleton seemed to have lost all support and instantly fell apart.
Scattered into a lifeless pile of white bones, they fell into the shallow water.
A stream of runes flowed into Xia Tong's body, amounting to more than 3,800 points.
Xia Tong remembered that the Tibia Calling Ship in this Water Calling Village was not supposed to summon a giant skeleton phantom in the original game settings.
But now that it has indeed appeared, the difficulty has increased considerably.
That's probably why it gives out so many runes.
To be honest, if it weren't for the help of Ruth and Ingwell, Xia Tong would have had to put in a lot of effort on her own.
With the ferryman's death, the original Tibian calling boat gradually disappeared into the air.
Then, the two objects fell into the water.
One of the cold lights was a crystal of souls, within which two withered, skeletal phantoms were faintly visible.
Moreover, this thing has a chilling, bone-deep coldness to the touch, as if it had just been taken out of an ice cellar.
The ashes of the emaciated militiamen.
The other object was a grayish-black root that looked very twisted.
It is only about the length of a forearm, but it looks extremely ferocious.
Its surface is covered with protrusions that look like blood vessels, and its entire body has a sickly blackish-purple color, just like a necrotic internal organ.
Dead root.
"That's fucking disgusting!"
Xia Tong endured the intense nausea and picked up the dead root.
Just carrying it in her hands made Xia Tong's stomach acid churn, but thankfully the thing didn't have any strange smell.
And in the distance.
With the collapse of the Tibian Calling Ship, the enormous skeletal phantom also vanished completely, as if it had never existed.
The endless skeleton soldiers around them also lost their power and turned into a pile of dry bones.
"It's finally over."
Xia Tong let out a soft breath.
He rang the summoning bell again, calling all the ashes back for nurturing, and also took the opportunity to sense the spiritual strength of the ashes.
The Lost Knight Ingwell was slammed several times by the giant skeletal phantom, leaving him with only about 70% of his spiritual strength, and he needed to recover properly.
Ruthel already possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities. Although she suffered some damage when she was gripped by the giant hand, she still retained ninety percent of her spiritual strength.
As for the lone wolf, only one remains.
The other two were directly destroyed and dissipated, and the remaining one only had 30 to 40 percent of its spiritual strength, which was quite tragic.
