Skeleton King

When leaving under the heavy turtle shell of the Heavenly Shield Sword Master, Ace didn't have time to think about anything, and he didn't have to think about anything. He only needed to understand one thing, he couldn't let Noou go to the dark country alone.

They have been together since they were teenagers, even if they have experienced a brief separation, most of the time they failed to confess their hearts, and Ace always felt that every time they separated, they would meet again in the near future.Not even death can separate the Skeletor from his lover.

The star power is incredibly rich, like a gorgeous curtain covered with golden patterns.They were too thick and blocked Ace's way, at first Ace lifted them, but then he found it was too slow, he just used his necromancy magic, pansy fighting spirit, and even his fists to smash them Blast, split, blast.

Outside the valley, the priests chanted in ancient magic language, and the golden objects on their bodies became brighter and brighter, like little suns.These golden utensils really rose like the sun, responding to the call of the master of this plane, Zwar, with the scorching sun, completely releasing their stored power, and finally the golden utensils turned black like black charcoal, or turned into powder, Completed their reincarnation.

The stars in the sky dragged their long tails and fell into the valley. It seemed like an illusion, and it seemed that this plane had ushered in the real end.

Ace ran towards his lover step by step like this, and Tsval did not stop him.

The sacrifices outside the valley also did not stop.

It wasn't necessary, it was a good thing for them to have Ace buried here.

It's a pity for Tsval, some people are much more useful alive than they are dead, but Nou's breakthrough also reminded him that Ace's current strength is weaker than him, and he is in his grasp, but it won't be like this forever .

Under such starlight, in the sea of ​​stars as thick as real, Ace saw Nou again.

Nuoou's aura was much weaker, and there was a bloodstain on the side of his face, which was cut by the star sword, and the bones were deep.He was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't hide his handsomeness.

Ace took his hand.

"Idiot." Nou murmured.

Tsval's strength is comparable to his own, and there are more than a hundred priests outside the valley. They guide the stars to help Tswar, making Tswar's strength more than doubled.

Nou is at the core of the formation and cannot escape, but Ace still has a chance.

As long as you leave the valley and quickly pass through the space nodes of the two planes, there is an island owner sitting on the magic island, and Tsval dare not follow Ace into the world alone.After this battle, many high priests and priests in the small plane have exhausted their star power, and it is impossible to form formations again in the short term. There can still be a stalemate on the plane battlefield for a long time, and there is enough time for Ace to break through and advance beyond The existence of the holy order.

No matter how bad it is, Ace can also return to the dead world.

Even the existence beyond the holy rank will not easily set foot on the plane of the dead.

At that time, Ace will always have a chance to counter-kill Tsval, but now he throws himself into the trap and runs to the center of the formation, what is it if he is not an idiot?Nuoou was expressionless, but there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes, and he held Ace's hand back.

In the sky, countless stars fall into the valley, which is an incredible spectacle that has never been seen by human beings.

Nuo Ou quietly held onto Ace's hand to watch this splendid doomsday, the small plane may be destroyed, but it is definitely not now, but this is also the last scene he can see in his life.

Nuo Ou felt that it didn't seem so bad to be able to sleep forever with the one he loved in this way.Naturally, there are regrets, the sword of judgment in his other hand roars, and he can't wait to drink Tsval's blood immediately, but at the last moment before death, he doesn't want to spend any time thinking about insignificant people .

It was at this time that Nuo Ou felt that someone was pressing on him.

"Ace."

It's like Ace stood between him and the black robe mage for many years.

Again, he wants to protect him.

……

In the valley, a young dragon screamed.

The claws of the Heavenly Shield Sword Master firmly grasped Norn, completely ignoring his struggle, and at the same time his huge body was slowly retreating. He also understood that only by rushing back to the battlefield of the plane quickly and passing through the space nodes, could they have May escape.

"Be patient, and only then will you be able to avenge them." They all knew that Nuoou and Ace were in danger.It is impossible for anyone to survive such a devastating force.The Heavenly Shield Sword Master lived long enough, which also made him calmer and more rational in the face of crises.

Although the spirits of Tsval and other priests on the small plane are focused on Ace and Nou, the chances of them escaping from the sky are still very small.The Heavenly Shield Sword Master deeply understands that such an opportunity may only come once, and they must seize it.

It may be because Norn had consumed too much power before, and he had no energy to rush out; it may also be because the words of the Heavenly Shield Sword Master convinced him to temporarily suppress the impulse in his heart.

Although the Heavenly Shield Sword Master is a turtle-like monster, his speed is not fast, but his four claws are slightly floating in the air, and in the blink of an eye, he quietly appeared outside the valley with Norn and Jacob.

But as soon as they left the valley, he realized that they were still too late.

Outside the valley, there are teams of astrological puppets, all of which are the most powerful fighters in the small plane.

The voice of the astrology puppet in the center was cold, like a machine, "The high priest has orders, none of you are allowed to leave."

……

The starlight dispersed, and the world seemed to return to chaos.

Most of the priests were already exhausted. They lay on the stone beasts and felt that their bodies were about to fall apart.The entrance of the valley has been blasted open by star power, and the two old priests from the amphitheatre drove the stone beasts into the valley.

Priest Jin appeared in front of Tsval riding a stone beast. His legs had long since disappeared, and his upper body was bent as much as possible. He said, "I'm sorry, my lord, we can't salute you."

Tsval calmly looked at the center of the valley, where a bottomless pit appeared, and all kinds of chaotic energies were still tearing each other inside. Even if the holy steps were not paying attention, they would be injured by the energy leaked from the bottom of the pit. Tsval also couldn't easily detect the scene inside. The billowing smoke shot straight into the sky, blocking people's sight.

Without a few hundred years, these remaining energies cannot be completely dissipated.

This place will probably become another Jedi on the small plane.

They all had no doubt that no one could survive at the bottom of such a violent energy storm pit.

After being silent for a long time, Tsval seemed to have heard what High Priest Jin said.

Even the existence beyond the holy rank could not easily get to the bottom of the pit, and his voice did not fluctuate, "It's nothing."

Priest Jin was a little hesitant, "That star scholar may be from the Millai Library." Thinking that the Millai Library hadn't contacted them for a long time, Priest Jin felt a little uneasy.

"Mile didn't ask him to come." Tsval said firmly.

Now that Tsval is so sure, High Priest Jin no longer has any objections to this. He said: "This time we have used up all the star stones we have stored, and the battle plan for the plane battlefield must be postponed." Without glancing toward the middle of the valley, he took it for granted that the two outsiders were dead.No one can survive under such a powerful force, even the existence beyond the holy rank is impossible.

The previous attack on Tsval had already poured all the star power into his body, and now his body was empty, with nothing left.But also because of this, his perception became sharper than ever, and he could even vaguely feel the weakness hidden under the extremely powerful aura of the old man guarding the other side of the plane battlefield, far away from the valley.

At this moment, Tsval's mood became extremely complicated, and he couldn't explain clearly.He said: "The fall of the owner of the magic island will happen within this year."

When the coalition forces in this world lose their presence beyond the holy ranks, it will be easy for them to break through the space nodes.In other words, the formation they prepared for the owner of the magic island has lost its meaning.

No wonder.

Over the years, the owner of the magic island sent Yinhui Juggernaut to repair the star map, contacted Ace and Nou in violation of the code of conduct of the magic island in the past, and asked his only student, Jacob, the legal heir of the magic island, to come to the small plane. They are all hopes in this world, people who may break through the existence beyond the holy rank.

That makes sense.

The owner of the magic island has no time to wait for them to grow up.

Time passed, and Tsval's heart became cold enough. He quickly withdrew his thoughts and turned to leave.Ace destroyed several core formations on the small plane, and the amphitheater was also messed up by them, and he needed to deal with these things.

The moment Tsval turned around, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

It seemed that something had happened beyond his control.

He followed his intuition and looked at the bottom of the pit again. He felt that the forces in the ground were fighting each other. It was not obvious at first, but gradually among these chaotic and disordered forces, there was a dark force that seemed to annihilate all vitality. In the upper hand, they don't tear apart crazily, they just appear quietly, devouring the power around them silently, and then strengthen themselves.

devour everything.

destroy everything.

Tsval knew that he couldn't let this situation continue, but he could do nothing about it, not to mention that his star power had been exhausted, he even had an intuition that even in his heyday, he could only be helpless in the face of such an annihilating power.

Beside Tsval, the stupid and dull stone beasts ridden by the two high priests were digging the ground uncomfortably. They couldn't help but want to leave the valley, but they were restricted by the runes on their bodies. They couldn't leave and had to stay in the valley. The facts here make them miserable.They appear increasingly restless and manic, although they themselves do not know why.

But soon, the two high priests also felt abnormal.

The power of disorder in the ground disappeared rapidly, as if a black hole that could swallow everything appeared there.

They looked at Tsval anxiously.

Tsval's serious face made the two experienced high priests feel fear again after hundreds of years. They were at a loss, just like when they first faced the astrologer.

What was in front of them was no longer an ordinary huge pit, but a terrifying abyss.

What is the bottom of the abyss?

And soon, someone will answer them.

From the depths of the earth——

thump -- thump -- thump --

It sounds like someone is beating a big drum, more like the beating of the heart of the earth.

This voice is so Hittite, even the fire of their souls can't help flickering, jumping to the rhythm of this voice.

For a moment, Priest Jin wanted to turn around and run away.

It took almost all of his willpower to resist the urge.

And that desperate voice was getting louder and getting closer to them.

"Could it be that we released the demons imprisoned here?" High Priest Jin murmured.Of course he knew that what he said was nonsense, but he couldn't think of any possible explanation. He felt that a dark, desperate demon was being born at the bottom of the abyss.

No.

Tswar's long light golden hair was blown backward by the wind from the abyss, dancing in all directions.

He saw with his own eyes the devil from the abyss reappeared above the horizon. He was wearing a black, long cloak that wrapped his whole body so tightly that he could not see his face or figure clearly. , he couldn't feel his breath, and he wasn't even sure if he was human.

The only thing that can explain the identity of the man in the black cloak seems to be the blond swordsman curled up like a baby in his arms - it is Nou, who fell asleep and seemed to have entered a sweet dream. Showing a serene smile.

Miraculously, except for the place where he was injured by Tsval's star sword before, Nuoou didn't have any more wounds on his body.

The identity of the man in the black cloak also became clear.

"Ace Neumann!"

It was the first time Tsval called Ace's name in an equal tone.

Even, when he said the name, there was a trill that he didn't even notice.

Because of encountering the astrological puppet, Norn and the others had to retreat back to the valley.The warriors and priests from the small plane gradually walked into the valley, and the exit of the valley was bombarded a lot by the star power emitted by the priests just now.The original circular valley became a crescent.

It was pitch black everywhere.

Only the runes on the astrology puppet's body flickered faintly and intermittently, which looked like countless newborn fireflies from a distance.It is not the same as the dazzling starlight before.

They all climbed up the valley, and from a distance, the valley lit up by fireflies looked like a huge yellow moon.

Norn seemed to sense that he didn't care about these astrological puppets surrounding him.

He stared blankly at the center of the valley.

On the edge of that huge pit, there was a figure as black as ink.It is different from the blackness of the night, it is another kind of blackness, the blackness that people will only see when they are about to die, the blackness that appears from the gathering of countless dark magic elements.

That's why he recognized him immediately.

Tsval, the owner of the small plane, Norn, the patriarch of the Dragon Clan, Jacob, the legal heir of the Magic Island, the last Sky Shield Turtle Sky Shield Sword Master, and all the astrological puppets here—they are from the war thousands of years ago. The humans who survived in the cave—they all stared at the figure in the black cloak.

Even when their enemies were standing by their side, they didn't realize it.

The man in the black cloak by the giant pit seemed to have a kind of magical power, which attracted the attention of all of them.

The man in the black cloak carefully put the person in his arms behind him.

In the boundless silence, he faced Zvar, the master of the small plane, and slowly took off his cloak.

From all around the valley came the sound of stone beasts trampling on dead leaves, and the terrified cries of astrological puppets, much louder than their cheers and curses in the amphitheatre. "Ace!" And Norn called his name.Norn has returned to his human form, and he has consumed too much energy before, which can no longer support him to use the prototype.In order to fight better, he can only maintain the human form.

The desolate valley, all forms of creatures in the world have become his background, and the man under the cloak is not the Ace Neumann that most people think, or the original him.

It is a bone.

is a skeleton.

He has a perfect bone that the most perfect sculptor can't carve. There is a faint golden light in the milky white bone. Every line of him belongs to the golden ratio. Compared with what kind of creature he is, he is more like a museum. A work of art, immaculate and gorgeous.

This was supposed to be an extremely eerie and terrifying scene, a demon emerging from the abyss, but everyone present could only feel a deep awe in their hearts.

Not that they want to.

It is the fear of death engraved deep in the soul.

The king in charge of the world of death - the king of skeletons.

Since Ace got the inheritance of the Skeleton King, he has finally mastered it completely.

All people, no matter whom they were loyal to in life, are his subjects after death.The astrological puppets consciously transcend life and death, they continue to sleep and wake up, and seem to be able to escape this reincarnation, but just like humans can't build a perpetual motion machine, the soul fire of the astrological puppets is still constantly being consumed.

Only death is true eternal life.

"Quack." Ace smiled at Tsval.

The sound that Ace made was very strange, and he couldn't bear to shut up after hearing it.

He doesn't know what kind of state he is in now, he is not a human being, nor a lich, and his level is naturally countless times higher than that of ordinary skeletons, and his power...

It turns out that Ace cannot absorb the magic elements of the dark attribute in the small plane.

Maybe, but very rarely.

But now he can easily break through the space and replenish the magic elements of the dark attribute from outside the plane.

The only thing he can be sure of is that he made the cut.Between life and death, at the moment when he was determined to die, he finally grasped the true meaning of the undead.It's a pity that Tsval's attack came too fast and melted his flesh and blood. Fortunately, his bones survived through special training-the most indispensable thing in the world of death is bone refining techniques.He was also able to protect Nou.

But because of the impact of star power, Nuo Ou was directly hit and fell into a coma.

Ace didn't plan to wake him up, he was very tired from the continuous fighting.

Like Tsval and Nou, he has stepped into a new level and seems to be different, but he has not yet noticed the subtleties.

Ace calmly felt the dark magical elements around him. The reason why he chose to rest temporarily in this valley was because it was extremely suitable for arranging formations. It was not only one of the cores of the star map of the small plane, but also convenient for him to arrange Other formations.

Such as the Great Summoning.

In Ace's milky white bones, his soul fire is black, as if it can devour everything black, it is more solidified than the soul fire of all the existences beyond the holy rank that he has seen, but it also burns more warm.

Black tongues of fire appeared on his white bony fingers.

Come and meet your king.

He calls for his subjects who truly belong to him.

In a quiet sea of ​​dead souls, Angelica lay leisurely on the dark, lifeless sea water, stroked the chin of the Diablo Flame Tiger, and watched it snoring comfortably.Suddenly, a circular black hole appeared in front of him, and she felt an unusually familiar aura from it, "Your Highness?"

Without hesitation, she rode on the back of the Dark Flaming Tiger, gently patted it awake, and said, "Your Highness is calling us."

On the top floor of a crystal palace in Evernight City.This is the most luxurious building in Eternal Night City. It is not as majestic as the City Lord's Mansion, but it is even more luxurious. Only the most advanced undead creatures can consume here.And the top floor is a place where only liches can revel.

On a dark green gaming table, the lich Ingersoll watched with a smile as a pink skeleton dealt cards, the enchanting lich Ingrid carelessly painted her nails blood red, and there were many more The liches sip rare fine wines in various locations on the top floor of the Crystal Palace—after the hundred-regiment battle with the magic island, the number of liches in Evernight City has risen sharply.

Suddenly, their movements stopped at the same time, and they all looked towards the middle of the palace, where a huge black hole appeared, and a familiar force was calling them.

"Your Highness."

"His Royal Highness needs us."

They entered the black hole without hesitation and cleanly.

In an endless wilderness, there is a grave with a pansy flag, and General Arnold silently guards it.

Undead are really strange creatures.Obviously, the Eternal Night Knights is the first knights named by Ace himself, and also the first knights who are loyal to the current King of Skeletons. I like to stay here, in this desert where there is nothing.They used to hate this place deeply, because it restricted their freedom and brought them endless loneliness, but now they love this place deeply, because it is here that they met their Highness for the first time and met His Highness.

Suddenly, an extremely huge black hole appeared above the desert.

There were hundreds of voices that seemed to come from the ground, and they all converged into one voice, "Your Highness—"

Countless white bones began to squirm, they seemed slow, but they quickly formed skeleton knights one by one—different from their crude equipment when Ace first saw them, now all skeleton knights are wearing the best alchemist in the dead world Angela personally forged the armor, and even the steeds under their crotches were armed to the teeth.

They file into the black hole without hesitation.

Only General Arnold did not move, he stood quietly in place.

He looked at that inconceivable power from another plane, and said in disbelief, "Your Highness?"

He thought that Ace Neumann would come to this point, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

"Do not."

"It's Your Majesty."

Their king has been crowned.

Whether in this world or in death, he will be the eternal king.
