Chapter 66 - Skillful Block (1/2)

“It’s not dead? But how?”

Everybody saw how powerful that direct spike attack was. It basically grounded Little Skeleton to particles. It was commonly believed that a skeleton still needed most of its bones intact to be resurrected.

Little Skeleton did not give them any more time to wonder. After unleas.h.i.+ng another ferocious howl, it lunged at the Magical Corpse Beast, blade raised, while red sigils like blood veins coursed through its bones.

This was the bloodline power of a Skeleton King.

The Magical Corpse Beast felt threatened by Little Skeleton’s display. It roared back and hastily shot out more bone spikes to stop Little Skeleton from approaching. But Little Skeleton was just too agile at the moment. It skillfully evaded all the attacks by either jumping or using its blade to parry.

Rarrrw!!

Once again, the Magical Corpse Beast began drawing dark pulses of energy to channel another Spirit Shock.

“This is bad. It’s doing it again!” Fan Ganglie and Ye Chenshan wanted to warn Su Ping to back off.

While maintaining his cold look, Su Ping sent another order to Little Skeleton.

Huraaaa!

It was Little Skeleton’s Deadly Roar skill this time. At soon as the skill went off, the effect of Spirit Shock arrived, trying to disrupt Little Skeleton’s consciousness again. However, Little Skeleton seemed completely unaffected this time. It kept running toward the Magical Corpse Beast at full speed.

“It resisted the Spirit Shock??” Fan Ganglie pointed out, “Don’t tell me that skeleton has higher spiritual potential than that eighth-rank Magical Corpse Beast?”

“That can’t be,” said Ye Chenshan, “If so, it should have stayed behind to attack the enemy using spiritual attacks instead of charging ahead. Maybe it used some kind of special move to block off the skill.”

Deadly Roar was a pretty common skill that was easily found in tutorial books. Just like other similar skills, it was mainly used for intimidation. No one had noticed any defensive effects.

Ye Chenshan glanced at Su Ping again; he kept a neutral att.i.tude.

“He knew this would work? Who is he, really?”

“Kill it!” Su Ping remotely ordered again.

He discovered this extra effect of Deadly Roar when traveling inside the Chaotic Realm of the Undead. Of course Deadly Roar was not intended for defense. However, using the skill would somehow fill Little Skeleton up with uncontrollable violence and rage, which could in turn neutralize the invasive effect of the Spirit Shock.
