Chapter 493: The Bones of the Gods (1/2)
“Can’t hold on any longer! Retreat!”
Everyone started backing away from the boss after I barked out the retreat order.
“Haha, you ants…”
Coldblade continued to laugh madly and sinisterly as he charged toward us. Pushing Lin Yixin behind me in a hurry, I raised the Heaven-stealing Sword and prepared to make the last stand. It was because I had higher Defense compared to Lin Yixin thanks to the 6-star Outstanding Earth-grade cloak. I wasn’t lacking in the HP department either.
……
Swhoosh!
A column of red light suddenly poured down from the sky just as Coldblade was about to swing his hurricane-sheathed sword at me. The next moment, a strange sword covered in a red glow stabbed itself into a rock and let out a clear, melodious ring.
”What? The… the Sword of the Forest King?”
Coldblade exclaimed in shock. His eyes were shaking with a hint of urgency and even a bit of fear.
Thud!
This time, the world flashed purple as a purple war hammer hit the ground hard. Its handle was crawling with dazzling lightning.
”The Hammer of the Thunder God?”
Coldblade’s shock grew as he looked at the sky. Another two weapons hit the ground even before he was finished speaking. One was a sword, and the other a scepter. Both had a bloody luster to them.
At this point, Coldblade’s shock had reached its maximum point. He yelled, ”The Glorious War Sword? The Rolling Thunder Scepter? Im… impossible! Why are these ancient divine weapons here?”
Coldblade abruptly looked at the sky again, and this time it was a gorgeous girl clad in craggy red armor who descended from the sky. The sleek, elegant armor had scales that were pointed downward, and it wrapped around the girl’s breasts perfectly. Her legs looked long and white beneath her red battle garment, and her hair danced in the air following the flow of the wind. The girl with red eyes was staring daggers at Coldblade without a shred of human emotion.
”It… it’s you, Wind Singer Xinran...”
Coldblade uttered through clenched teeth, ”You traitor! I will tear you to pieces today!”
……
The corner of Xinran’s lips suddenly curled upward, and she pulled a blood-red spear into existence out of nowhere. It was none other than the Dragonbone Spear. However, the weapon had clearly gone through refinement because its light was a lot brighter than before.
”I wasn’t planning to kill you, Coldblade, but since you showed up in this plane I don’t mind killing you and extracting your undead soul spark.”
Coldblade made the fearless declaration and licked his lips with a sinister expression. ”Legend says that you are the prettiest woman in the Purgatory, Wind Singer! Let us test that truth today!”
”Hehe…”
Xinran suddenly broke into a smile and moved her legs a little, unconsciously showing off the curves of her perfect body. She raised the Dragonspear and declared, ”For that statement alone, you deserve to die ten thousand times, Coldblade. Come! Let me show you how much I’ve learned to survive on this plane!”
Suddenly, Xinran waved her hand and caused four objects to fall from the sky. We were frightened out of our wits when we saw clearly what the objects that crashed next to the four divine weapons were: They were bones! Dry skeletons that looked like they were dead a long time ago! Why on earth had Xinran brought them here?
Coldblade was shocked too, but the reason behind his shock was different from ours. He stared at the skeletons with round eyes before shouting angrily, ”You were in the God Domain, Wind Singer? These bodies, they clearly belong to the Forest King, the Thunder God, the War God Silva, and the Goddess Arni…”
Xinran smiled. ”Correct. I was searching for the bones of the gods, but I discovered that the divine energy in their remains was long gone, and their divine weapons had all been cursed, useless weapons that cannot be wielded by beings with divine energy. However, I also discovered that great power is generated when the cursed weapons and their former masters are put together!”
”What?!” Coldblade’s eyes widened even further.
Xinran smiled and raised her spear into the air abruptly. She chanted, ”Gods who slumber in death and silence, heed my summon and return to this world in shame and fury! Slay all evil and protect the order you once loved—Revitalize!”
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh!
Four columns of light descended from the sky and landed atop the skeletons. As the power of life poured into their bodies, they actually started moving and rising to their feet once more. Their movement was a bit slow, but their bodies were surrounded by a cyclone of bloody aura. They were clearly very powerful.
Thud!
