Chapter 153: A Three Way Battle

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

From the looks of it, this Burial Site was located within an ancient tomb.

This ancient tomb was extremely dark, except for the dim candle lights that eerily filled the surroundings.

"Shaaa... sha!"

After having only taken a few steps forward, two arrows pierced the air as they firmly planted themselves into the ground, forcing w.a.n.g Yu to retreat in order to avoid them.

w.a.n.g Yu pulled a torch off the wall, throwing it towards the direction that the arrows came from. As the light from the torch tore through the darkness, w.a.n.g Yu could faintly see two skeletons drawing their bows, taking aim at him.

HP: 10000

MP: 2000

Skills: [Night Vision], [Take Aim], [Spirit Erosion]

These Skeletal Demon Archers were standing on a high ground several metres away from w.a.n.g Yu, allowing them to freely take aim at him. Their attack range was even greater than regular Archers, they were truly the bane of close ranged players like w.a.n.g Yu.

Fortunately there weren't many Skeletal Demon Archers, not to mention that their attack speed was nothing spectacular either. w.a.n.g Yu dashed forward, activating [Crus.h.i.+ng Blow] to destroy them. But just at this moment, four more skeletons appeared before him!

The appearance of these four skeletons were especially odd. Two amongst them were extremely large, carrying a s.h.i.+eld in one hand and a sabre in the other. The other two were holding spears and riding skeletal horses...

HP: 100000

MP: 1000

Skills: [s.h.i.+eld Bash], [Shroud of Darkness], [Crippling Strike]

HP: 1500000

MP: 1500

Skills: [Trample], [Charge]

These four newcomers were extremely large, any two of them could easily block the entire pathway.

"Intruder, for the crime of disrupting our lord's sleep, you shall be put to death!"

The two Skeletal Demon Knights raised their spears, charging straight towards w.a.n.g Yu...

Facing a situation where the close combat enemies were charging straight towards you while the long ranged enemies lay in ambush behind, any gamer would have tried to slip past the front line in order to kill the enemies at the back.

But these monsters in the dungeon were different, they would endless pursue their prey all throughout the dungeon…...

But w.a.n.g Yu had only challenged the dungeons in <

But w.a.n.g Yu did not dare to challenge the [Charge] of the Skeletal Demon Knight's head on. w.a.n.g Yu's figure vanished right as the Knight's spears came cras.h.i.+ng into the ground, only for them to see that w.a.n.g Yu had already leapt into the air, using [Flying Knee] to propel himself past them.

The Skeletal Demon Knight's reacted quickly, raising their spears in an attempt to skewer w.a.n.g Yu while he was in mid air. w.a.n.g Yu remained calm in the face of their cunning a.s.sault, casting [Rippling Wave] to once again avoid their attacks.

Right at this moment, two bone arrows tore the sky. w.a.n.g Yu quickly used [Thunder G.o.d's Stomp], ferociously landing on the Skeletal Demon Archer's heads.

"Duang!"

w.a.n.g Yu's [Thunder G.o.d Stomp] was not light at all, causing a deafening sound to resound through the burial site.

The two Skeletal Demon Knights had already turned around and arrived before him, striking out once again. w.a.n.g Yu quickly dodged, leaping into the air once again as he grabbed the two archers, throwing them onto the ground.

"Crack!"

The two Skeletal Demon Archers fiercely collided against the four tanks, causing a blood red number to rise from all their heads.

-2000

Once he had taken them off their high ground, w.a.n.g Yu had reduced their attack range to that of a normal Archer. w.a.n.g Yu turned around, ignoring the monsters as he ran further into the Burial Site.

The Burial Site was not very large, adding to the fact that w.a.n.g Yu was running on the walls of the place, he had shortened his travelling distance even more.

Along the way, w.a.n.g Yu had encountered several minor monsters, but they had all been pushed off the wall like the Skeletal Demon Archers...

But the time w.a.n.g Yu had reached the deepest part of the Burial Site, he had a whole legion of monsters chasing him...

In the depths of the Burial Site, there was an altar with many strange symbols drawn on it.

"F*ck!"

w.a.n.g Yu jumped off the wall, staring intensely at the altar, at a loss of what to do...

The monsters didn't waste any time, quickly launching an a.s.sault on him the moment he stopped moving.

Fortunately, the small area in the depths of the tomb limited the range of motions for the monsters as well. w.a.n.g Yu was able to easily dodge the [Charge] from the Skeletal Demon Knights.

Before he had even stabilized himself from their [Charge], the Skeletal Demon Archers had shot a volley of arrows at him.

w.a.n.g Yu nimbly caught the arrows in his hands, but a sense of confusion suddenly overwhelmed him...

[Spirit Erosion]: The arrows of the Skeletal Demon Archer are coated with the vengeful spirits from h.e.l.l. Contact with this arrow will cause the player's flesh and marrow to be corroded, losing 10% of their speed. This effect can be stacked.

w.a.n.g Yu had caught a total of six arrows, each adding a stack of [Spirit Erosion]. At this point in time, w.a.n.g Yu's speed had been reduced by 60%.

The Skeletal Demon Warriors inched forward, pressing forward towards w.a.n.g Yu, raising their blades to cleave him in half.

w.a.n.g Yu instantly dropped to the ground, rolling out of the attack range of the Skeletal Demon Warriors, only to face the [Charge] of the Skeletal Demon Knights...

"F*ck!"

The monsters even knew how to cooperate...

After 10 seconds had pa.s.sed and [Spirit Erosion] had worn off, w.a.n.g Yu quickly switched to the 'Martial Artist's Dedication'. w.a.n.g Yu rolled beneath one of the Skeletal Demon Knights, using his pole to brutally beat the horse that the knight was riding.

The Skeletal Demon Knight raised it's spear in an attempt to thwart w.a.n.g Yu's attack, only to be flung off the horse by w.a.n.g Yu's counter attack...

w.a.n.g Yu stuck the pole into the ground, using it to lift himself onto the horse whilst blocking the attack from the other Skeletal Demon Knight.

w.a.n.g Yu forcefully swept his pole out, knocking the other Skeletal Demon Knight off its horse as well.

Once they were knocked off their horses, the Skeletal Demon Knights were incapable of moving... they could only lie on the floor and await their deaths.

Out of the three Skeletal Demon monsters, the hardest to deal with was the Skeletal Demon Knight due to its high health and strong defenses. But once they were knocked off their horses, they possessed no combat strength whatsoever.

The Skeletal Demon Archers launched yet another volley of attacks. But this time, w.a.n.g Yu deflected them with his pole instead, before rus.h.i.+ng behind them.

There were two main aspects to pole arts. One was attacking while the other was about controlling. Faced with w.a.n.g Yu's impeccable skill, the two Skeletal Demon Archer's were hard-pressed to even turn around, let alone counter attack.

The pole was considered a heavy weapon. Once the attack reached over 100% perfection, it would cause piercing damage... but since these Skeletal Demon Archers did not have any armour, their bones were shattered instead.

Pierce caused an additional 30% damage to these skeletal monsters.

Even though poles were supposed to be a single target type weapon, w.a.n.g Yu's proficiency in the pole arts allowed him to deal AOE damage to these monsters.

The Skeletal Demon Warriors would naturally not just stand by idly while their comrades were being slain, stepping forward to kill w.a.n.g Yu.

w.a.n.g Yu rolled forward, dodging their [s.h.i.+eld Bash] as he lashed out with the pole, knocking all of them back.

If Yang Nuo was present, she would definitely be tongue-tied with amazement looking at this scene...

The footwork w.a.n.g Yu had performed was exactly the Seven Star Steps from the Yang family...

Before 20 seconds had even pa.s.sed, w.a.n.g Yu had already killed the Skeletal Demon Archers with over a hundred thousand health. But because they were quest monsters, they did not drop any good items, merely turning into a puff of black smoke before floating towards the altar in the depths of the burial site. The purple symbols on the altar suddenly glowed with a faint golden hue.

The Skeletal Demon Warriors were much hard to deal with... these monsters specialised in close combat and were infinitely more aggressive than the Skeletal Demon Archers...

w.a.n.g Yu unleashed a barrage of attacks on Skeletal Demon Warriors, interrupting their skills.

Looking at the time, w.a.n.g Yu realised that he still had over 40 minutes left to complete this quest. w.a.n.g Yu grew increasingly worried. If the normal monsters already took so long to fight, how much harder would the boss be!

w.a.n.g Yu slammed his pole onto the Skeletal Demon Warrior's s.h.i.+eld, using the force to propel himself three metres backwards.

The Skeletal Demon Warrior raised the s.h.i.+eld in its left hand, blindly chasing after w.a.n.g Yu again.

"I found it's weakness!"

Even though the s.h.i.+eld in its arm was extremely large, the Skeletal Demon Warrior had a large stature as well. Everytime it raised it's s.h.i.+eld, it would involuntarily reveal its right leg.

w.a.n.g Yu chuckled, sweeping the pole out as he smashed the lead Skeletal Demon Warrior's s.h.i.+n. w.a.n.g Yu spun around, sweeping the other Skeletal Demon Warriors as well... all the Skeletal Demon Warriors staggered back, nearly falling onto the ground.

"This is it!" w.a.n.g Yu laughed, darting back into their midst.

The sound of breaking bones resounded through the Burial Site, almost as if it was following some sort of rhythm...

"Kacha..."

Under w.a.n.g Yu's ruthless attacks, it was only a matter of time before the Skeletal Demon Warrior's right legs had been completely destroyed...

Without their right legs, these Skeletal Demon Warriors were in the same state as the Skeletal Demon Knights, helplessly flailing on the ground. w.a.n.g Yu leisurely strolled to each Skeletal Demon Warrior, brutally beating them till they became black puffs of smoke, floating to the altar as the symbol glowed an even brighter hue of gold/

w.a.n.g Yu looked at the time, he still had 35 minutes to complete this quest.
