Chapter 118: The little skeleton immune to dark magic
Upon seeing that the little skeleton had walked out from the carriage, the old priest heaved a sigh of relief and called out excitedly, “Datara, Datara!”
Under the old priest’s excited yells, the forest trolls, that had turned somewhat cowardly, all regained their fighting spirit and followed behind the little skeleton, once again charging towards the female dark archmage.
The bone dagger wielding little skeleton had a eye patch on its smooth and shiny skull plate as it dashed nimbly towards that fey, female archmage.
“Oh, heh heh. It’s only a comical skeletal warrior!” The female archmage had thought some strong reinforcements were coming her way when she saw the forest trolls regain their courage. When she saw that what was dashing towards her was just a low level dark creature, the skeletal warrior, she immediately started chuckling in mockery.
When the little skeleton arrived in front of her, she spoke to a journeyman swordsman next to her, “Kill that ridiculous skeletal warrior!”
“Understood, Lady Emily!” The swordsman responded respectfully in a low voice and strode forward, grasping his broadsword, towards the little skeleton, smirking coldly.
It was a pity that before the journeyman swordsman had approached, the little skeleton, that’d been approaching with normal speed before, suddenly sprang off both calf bones and hugged the ground in magical flight. The increase in speed was more than ten times as the little bone dagger in his hand abruptly, aimed directly for the journeyman swordsman who was attempting to block his way.
The little bone dagger drew a round arc after leaving his hand, and had already made its way to the journeyman swordsman’s neck in the midst of his shock and surprise. Frightened senseless, the journeyman swordsman’s body abruptly came to a halt, drawing his sword in a no holds barred attempt to defend against the bone dagger attack.
Clang rang out softly as the bone dagger crashed into the broadsword held in the journeyman swordsman’s hand, causing his stopped body to involuntarily take a step backwards. Although the journeyman swordsman was surprised that he’d had to take a step backwards in defending against the bone dagger, he still breathed out a sigh of relief as he felt that he’d already gotten past the danger.
However, a sudden change in fortune occurred, one that he would never understand, even in his moment of death. The bone dagger that had fallen to the ground once again shot towards his chest just as he was about to charge forward. It completely upended his knowledge of the world as it opened a bloody hole in his chest and caused him to lose his life where he stood.
The swiftly moving little skeleton didn’t pause for a single moment here as the withered bones of his left hand extended, and the little bone dagger that had just pierced through the journeyman swordsman returned marvelously to its his hand. The remaining empty eye socket in the little skeleton’s head once again fixed its gaze on the astonished female dark magus Emily.
“Oh my gosh, that little skeleton killed a journeyman swordsman.” Although Trunks was busy fending off enemies in the distance, he still paid heed to the little skeleton’s movements. When he noticed that the little skeleton had murdered one of the journeyman swordsman, he immediately gave an involuntary cry of shock.
“Stop him, stop him!” Emily had also witnessed the little skeleton’s miraculous performance. The jeering smile that had been at the corners of her mouth had long since vanished as her heart was in frantic disarray.
She quickly recited several journeyman and adept dark magics, with them landing directly on the little skeleton’s body. However, the little skeleton was made entirely from bone and had been repeatedly refined by Han Shuo’s magical yuan, and had no reaction whatsoever. He stood there and rather looked at Emily in confusion, as if wondering why Emily’s attacks were so feeble.
“The great Datara has demonstrated his courage and power, what are you standing there dumbly for?” Concealed in the distance, Han Shuo suddenly called out coldly at this moment and once again gave the little skeleton the order to attack archmage Emily.
Yells of gobbledegook suddenly roared out from the old priest and forest troll chief’s mouths. When the forest troll warriors, who were following behind the little skeleton, saw that the previously frightening Emily couldn’t do anything to the little skeleton, they cried out “Datara” with excitement and once again charged forward with no fear of death
The forest troll hunters in the distance shot out a dense wave of javelins and long spears as ranks of attacks shot towards the McGrady Guild’s guards. Add to that the arrows from the archers as well as magic attacks from several priests, numerous guards were pierced full of bloody holes after this wave of javelins and spears had shot past. Bloody froth bubbled from their mouths as they lay on the ground, unmoving.
“Stop that damned skeletal warrior!” Emily saw that the little skeleton was chasing her in hot pursuit and became a bit frantic. When several dark magics had no effect on the little skeleton, Emily finally realized that this bizarre little skeleton had an extremely high defense against dark magics.
Emily gathered up the folds of her magic robe in one hand and bedraggedly fled towards the back as she hollered. Her well rounded buttocks swayed continuously as she had no further time to cast destructive and harrowing dark magics.
Because of Emily’s retreat, the pressure on the forest troll warriors decreased greatly. Add to that the little skeleton’s presence strongly boosted morale, this caused these faithful followers to completely ignore their injuries and casualties and charge towards the McGrady Guild guards like the tidewaters.
At this moment, the forest troll warriors that had been unable to draw near the McGrady Guild train finally crashed into the guards after paying the price of several dozen forest troll warriors.
The low roars of the earth dragons, the stomping sounds of the lizard beasts, the frantic calls of the merchants, and the sounds of combat between the forest troll warriors and the guards permeated the scene. The advantage in numbers quickly became apparently. Although their personal strength didn’t measure up to the forest trolls, they were much more disciplined than the randomly scattered guards. They were not in the slightest bit disorganized after rushing over, and each was more unafraid of death than the other.
In only the span of a moment, the forest troll contingent, made of young warriors and boasting of numbers more than fives times that of the McGrady Guards, had already taken the high ground. Han Shuo stayed in the back, commanding the little skeleton to pursue the archmage Emily and directing the forest troll hunters to attack as well.
The rows of javelins and spears landed on the earth dragons and lizard beasts afterwards, causing the deaths of all the merchants. When the two main pack animals were injured, they began to run wildly in their madness. When their enormous hooves trampling down, they caused the deaths of many guards.
