835 The Wild Dance of Dragon Skeletons Part 2 (2/2)

The dragon skeleton combat vessel was already in the middle of the gigantic combat vessel. Nailisi led the demons down to the cabins and finally met some strong opponents.

In the cabins one level below the deck, there were no soldiers except for a few low-level mages that were controlling metal puppets that were less than two yards tall. The miniature size of the puppets meant that they were designed specifically to fight within the narrow and enclosed space of the cabins.

When Nailisi saw that they were up against a group of puppets, she did not hesitate to ask the human soldiers to retreat and send forth a group of white-feathered zombies instead. On the death dimension, zombies were a strange group. Even low-level zombies were extremely strong and possessed very resilient soul flames, making them very difficult to kill.

The zombies charged forward and began to tussle with the metal puppets. The puppets were clearly not as high-level as those possessed by Saleen and Lex. They moved much slower, and if not for the fact that they were extremely strong and there were so many of them, they might not even be as powerful as a normal soldier.

Metal broke and bones cracked. The cabin was full of the foul stench of zombies and metal lubricant. There were two-hundred to three-hundred zombies up against over one-thousand metal puppets in four to five huge cabins.

”Nicholas!” Nailisi was peeved that Nicholas was not doing anything to help.

”I'm here.” Nicholas observed for a while before discovering the metal puppets' weakness. When they were not under the control of mages, they would utilize magic eyes to observe their surroundings. The cost of making such puppets was low, but they did not have the same senses as humans, so they could only rely on their sight to fight.

Nicholas pointed his Scepter of the Fallen forward and black aura began to fill up the entire cabin.

The human soldiers that had followed Nailisi were all clad in magic equipment. Their eyes were shielded by a sheet of crystal, allowing them to see at least one-hundred yards ahead of them amongst the fog. The mages that were hiding in the cabin were no longer able to see where Nailisi and the rest were. This divine spell that Nicholas had cast was not very powerful, but just rarely used. It was called rust.

The fog was caused by the metal puppets rusting instantaneously then using water vapor to induce the metal powder within the rust. It would be difficult to dissipate the fog even by using magic.

The mages could use their senses to detect the location of their enemies, but they could no longer control the metal puppets. The components within the puppets were decomposing very quickly and were making strange sounds as they disintegrated.

The mages tried to activate the secret door within the cabin so that they could escape. They did not expect the switch of the door to be affected by the rust, causing it to stop working.

Rust was effective only on metal and was not harmful to humans. The mages all possessed elemental shields, so they would not be harmed even for an instant.

”Nicholas, let's go further down and not stay here too long,” Nailisi said calmly. Regardless how many rooms they had searched on that level just beneath the deck, all they found were soldiers and puppets and not a single powerful opponent.

Nailisi wanted to kill at least one grade-9 opponent while she was in peak condition.

Nicholas was helpless. When he hit his Scepter of the Fallen forcefully on the ground, a black ring of light lit up and a hole that was three yards long in diameter appeared under his feet.

”Down!”

Nailisi commanded the demons down to the second level. She took one last look at the first level and saw that the mages were hanging onto their magic shields for their lives, and not only were they unable to leave, they did not dare to break through the line of zombies either.

When matched up against death mages, elemental mages usually tried to lengthen the distance between them in case they were snuck up on by the spirits of the dead summoned by the death mages. Many spirits fought similarly to grand swordmasters, so in a combat over a short distance, elemental mages were no match for death mages.

Nailisi thought for a moment before turning herself into a spirit of the dead, then followed the demons down to the cabins on the second level.

After she advanced, her powers as a spirit of the dead were no different from that of the Three Kings. The only difference was that the appearance of Nailisi's spirit was that of a three-faced bone demon.

Three-faced demons looked like skeletons, but were much more powerful, and had often advanced into the level of Kings on the death dimension. When Nailisi transformed into a three-faced bone demon, there were three faces on her head that allowed her to see in all directions. Her hands turned into gigantic skeletal claws and a sharp and short skeletal tail appeared at her back.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

When Nailisi descended into the cabin on the second level, the corpses of two demons flew towards her. She was taken by surprise. She did not want the demons to be sacrificing their lives for no reason. More than one-hundred demons were retreating quickly as a Rotting Lizard that was more than six yards long dashed forward.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in a long white shirt that was killing the demons. There was an air of arrogance about the man. He pointed his long sword forward and the grade-6 Rotting Lizard turned into dust from his silver sword aura.

A silver grand swordmaster? In such a narrow and enclosed cabin, it would not be easy to deal with a silver grand swordmaster. Nailisi laughed coldly and said, ”Nicholas, give me three seconds.”
