Chapter 102 – Ancient Battlefield (2/2)

System Notification: You have set foot in the Ancient Battlefield, causing the grudge of the battlefield to curse you. -10% in all stats until you leave.

According to what Bai Xiaosheng said, the Ancient Battlefield was the final battleground of countless great wars in tens of thousands of years. Every single way would involve armies of tens of millions of beings that included countless divine beasts, demonic beasts and even super divine beasts and super demonic beasts. An unimaginable number of soldiers ended up perishing there so that the top dozen meters or so of the ground was not actually soil, but merely layers of bones!

There was indeed a side effect of so many deaths in such a place. The most obvious was the many vengeful spirits and wraiths who roamed the place, as well as the mists that covered the Ancient Battlefield, blocking it from the sunlight. It was also the mists which made the dangerous battlefield even more mysterious and sinister.

A few steps in, Fatty saw a skeleton on the ground move. It wobbled, then stood up with a blood red saber in its hand. It wore a dark armor with a crimson cape. Its sockets seemed to shimmer with ghastly green lights similar to will o’ wisps. It moved around a bit, then turned its head towards Fatty.

Vengeful Remains

Level: ???

…

Oh, it’s another monster that has exceeded the appraisal range.

Hah, take this! Combo Attack!

-60

Fatty attacked the monster and was very lucky to get four hits with the use of the skill. However, the damage was pitifully low as the skill dealt less than 300 damage even with all four hits connecting.

Then, it was the monster’s turn. It swung its saber at Fatty.

-300

F*ck!

Fatty immediately scampered off using Invisibility without even drinking a single potion.

Yet, the skill seemed to be useless against the Vengeful Remains. It was not even slightly confused after Fatty disappeared. It merely continued to swing its saber towards Fatty without any hesitation. The saber sliced through the air, then just as it was about to reach Fatty, he lunged forward into the Vengeful Remain’s skeletal arms then activated Coil.

A silver python burst out from the ground and coiled on the monster. Even though the Vengeful Remains was a high level monster, it was not as ridiculous as the various boss monsters Fatty failed Coil against, so the skill was still able to successfully restrict its movement.

Fatty leaped back, drank a health potion, then panted heavily with his hands on his knees. Everything happened in a split second, but he did feel himself on the brink of death. He definitely would have died if it wasn’t because of Coil.

“Shit!” Fatty cried out. He suddenly remembered that he didn’t set the Central Capital as his respawn point yet. If he dies, then he would respawn back in Black Tortoise City. Although it didn’t cost much to teleport, the teleportation token had limited uses.

Meanwhile, the Vengeful Remains started to wobble as if it was about to break free of its restraint.

Fatty discarded the thought about the respawn point from his mind then took a few steps back. I don’t have much chance against a high level monster like this. I should finish my mission right now.

Fatty took a few quiet steps backwards, but before he could get out of combat to use stealth, he heard a crack behind him.

He turned around and saw the huge python get torn apart by the Vengeful Remains and disappeared into white light.

It can dispel the skill!? Fatty was extremely surprised. From his past experience, even high level boss monsters wouldn’t be able to break free after getting snared by Coil, but a monster that looked like it sat at the bottom of the pyramid in Ancient Battlefield actually managed to do that. Just how strong are the monsters here!?

Now that the monster was free, it turned its attention back to Fatty once more. It stepped forward with its saber and appeared in front of Fatty in an instant.

Fatty parried the blow as the monster swung its saber down. However, he still trembled as he lost a third of his health.

What powerful attacks! Fattyfinally gave up all intentions of fighting. He quickly activated his newly acquired skill – Illusion.

An illusion appeared beside him, then sprinted off in the opposite direction to him.

The Vengeful Remains looked left and right. Its intelligence was unable to judge why another person appeared out of nowhere. However, it didn’t care. It just randomly picked a target to chase.

…

Ahh, I’m finally safe. Fatty finally let out a huge sigh of relief after running for a while and noticed that the monster did not chase after him. Despite that, the moment he was about to start walking again, he heard a cackle. Then… a few skeletons wobbled, then slowly stood up.

Five of them… Fatty retreated without any hesitation. This time, he ensured there were no complete skeletons first and couldn’t come to life before finally advanced deeper into the depths of the Ancient Battlefield.
