The King Of Warriors (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5035

Her servant reached out instinctively to wipe the sweat from Aisha's brow. But before she could touch her, an invisible force struck her back violently. In mid-air, she exploded into a cloud of blood.

“Stay sharp!” Nilou shouted, her voice cutting through the tension like a blade.

Her delicate hands moved in fluid arcs, conjuring thirty-six azure lotus illusory shadows behind her. Each bloom glowed warmly, purifying the surrounding demonic aura.

Still, the weight in her gaze betrayed the strain she was under. The illusory shadows were already beginning to dim, slowly corroded by the oppressive black mist.

Roar!

From within the black mist came the sickening scrape of bones grinding together. In an instant, wave after wave of skeleton soldiers surged forward.

Each one had green ghostfire flickering in their eye sockets and sinister black runes etched into their bones. Even when smashed apart, they rapidly reassembled, refusing to die.

“D*mn it! Why won't these skeleton soldiers stay down?” Flaxseed roared, shattering three skulls with a single punch, only to watch the shattered bones float back together and stand again.

Jared's eyes narrowed as he slashed with the Dragonslayer Sword, taking down dozens at once. But just like Flaxseed, he saw the bones snap right back into place.

“They've been cursed with the Undying Curse!” Then it hit him. “The only way to defeat them is to torch them with the internal flame!”

“Fire unicorn, now!” At his command, a brilliant red light erupted from his shoulder.

The fire unicorn leapt from Jared's Storage Ring, scales blazing like molten lava. It reared back and let out a ground-shaking roar.

Roar!

In the blink of an eye, the fire unicorn grew into a thirty-meter-tall giant beast. Flames erupted wherever its hooves landed. The skeleton soldiers that touched it shrieked, their runes sizzling and bones turning to ash.

Jemina slashed with her sword, summoning frost to freeze the legs of three skeleton giants. But in seconds, they shattered the ice, sprouting new spikes of bone to take its place.

“This is bad. We can't keep this up!” Jared's chest tightened as he watched the defense line fall apart. Then something caught his eye—despite their size, the skeleton giants were moving in a coordinated pattern. He focused for a moment, and his pupils shrank in alarm.

They're forming an ancient demonic formation!

In the core of the shifting formation, the swirling black mist coalesced into a massive face, grotesque, with pus-filled boils and a leer of pure hatred. It was Malgor. “Pathetic insects of the Caxton Continent, today is your end! Bone Devourer Array, activate!”

The twelve skeleton giants howled in unison, their bone swords locking in the sky, forming a net.

Below them, the blood mushrooms exploded, one after another, spewing out a suffocating, toxic mist.
