54 Chapter 54 - Ice Mage (1/2)
The only remaining Skeleton Warriors rushed to the forefront. As soon as it approached the humans, it immediately raised in its hand the bone sword, sweeping it toward Cheng Yang's team line of defense. With its attack power, the first warrior to get hit is bound to be sent flying.
Standing in the forefront Liu Hao sees this situation, and instantly his stature flashed to the front of the warriors, as he get ready to intercept the Skeleton Warrior. Using his shield, he blocked the incoming bone sword.
”Bang...” a loud noise sounded, hurting the eardrums of several people surrounding it.
As the person involved, Liu Hao also didn't feel any better. Although he went all-out to meet the enemy head-on, but the strength of the opposition has twice his overall property. Fortunately, his shield can offset some of the damage, allowing him to endure the strike without being sent flying.
The Skeleton Warrior seem to have never thought someone could still be standing after receiving its attack. As its jaw did an up and down motion, the bone sword in its hand was quickly withdrawn, and at a tough angle stabbed toward Liu Hao's abdomen.
Don't look down on the opposite party thinking that a skeleton is sure to be clumsy, on the contrary, this guy's speed is faster than Liu Hao. When the bone sword is thrusted over, Liu Hao wanted to dodged, but it was too late.
In a moment before Liu Hao is about to get injure under the Skeleton Warrior's sword, two Magic Missiles instantly impacted on the Skeleton Warrior's frame, making its health value immediately emptied. This originally alive Skeleton Warrior turned into a heap of dry bones.
”Hao, well done! ”Cheng Yang said. Of the two Magic Missiles that hit the Skeleton Warrior's body, one was shot by him.
Cheng Yang didn't say anything wrong, if the warriors blocking in front was sent flying by the Skeleton Warrior's attack, it will inevitably led to the collapse of the team's formation. When that happen they are likely to fall into chaos, its results can be imagined.
Liu Hao hehe smile and said: ”Many thanks for the Lord's saving grace. ”
They laughed at the same time, but their hands didn't stopped moving, as they continued to target the enemies in front.
In an instant both sides plunged into a tug-of-war. Although the warriors on the human's side are more formidable, and their shield can also ignore damages, but how can a shield at the same time block the attacks of several skeletons simultaneously. With the passage of time, the warriors in the frontline started to get inflicted with injuries.
Summoners also have their hands full at this time, as they summoned their Dark Wolf to fight alongside the warriors in the forefront. Although this help lessen the burden on the warriors, injuries are still unavoidable. Apart from Niu Bing's Dark Wolf, the rest weren't able to persist for more than a minute. After the Dark Wolf dies, the Summoners can only become spectators on the side.
As the number of skeletons decreases, the consumption on the human's side became more and more serious. Not only in the consumption of potions, but also the consumption of the the warriors' physical strength on the frontline.
Suddenly, a warrior was cut on the thigh by a skeleton. Although his legs wasn't entirely cut off, but the huge force causes his center to be unstable, making him directly fall onto the ground. In front of him is an infinite number of skeletons, so this fall gave him absolutely no chance to stand up again.
Cheng Yang is sharp-sighted, instantly he rushed past and pulled the other side back, while a few bone sticks landed on Cheng Yang's back.
Although Cheng Yang is wearing an iron-grade magic gown on his body, but this equipment only increase magic defense, and not a single point of physical defense. Moreover, Cheng Yang is currently using Redirection, although he has 4 points of physical defense, but due to being in a weakening state, he now only has 2 points of physical defense. Faced with four skeletons' attack, in an instant took away 12 points of his health value.
Cheng Yang now has more than 80 health points, this injury meant nothing to him. Now he is standing on top of the injured warrior original location, and then started to continue his attack on the skeletons.
As the saying goes, ”enough ants may bite an elephant to death”. These skeletons unceasing attacks gave Cheng Yang no small amounts of trouble. Every few seconds, Cheng Yang had to take a bottle of health potion to supplement. Originally, Cheng Yang can restore 220 health points after taking a bottle of health potion, but only 60 points of the potion's effect had been played out before the skeletons' attack interrupted it.
So after another 10 seconds, the battle finally came to an end, all of the skeletons were killed.
With Cheng Yang here none of the personnel died, but the warriors standing in the frontline didn't look much better compared to beggars, all of whom were ragged and bloodied.
Fortunately, these are just flesh wounds, so as long as they consume a bottle of health potion, those blood stains will disappear. Of course, the breakage in the equipment is in need of repair, but at the moment Luo Feng village have none of the corresponding repair shops, so this matter is left alone for the time being. Fortunately, most people are still using their novice equipment, and these equipment are unlikely to get damaged.
Afterwards, no more skeletons reassembled in the canyon, putting an official end to the battle.
While the others are sitting down to recover through meditation, Cheng Yang began cleaning up the battlefield.
In the previous battles, the frequency the skeleton swarms were too high, so Cheng Yang didn't have time to pick up the items on the ground. Apart from the first wave, the skeleton bosses for the three waves afterward bursted something.
