Chapter 268: RISE OF THE SKELETON KING

RISE OF THE SKELETON KING

"It is the same magic as the magic in Uchalis city", Asterix confirmed with me.

Last time when we saw the casting of the magic in Uchalis city, I asked my earpods to record it. Asterix could access my database to confirm if it was the same as the magic being prepared and cast here.

Suddenly, the magic arraye in Sunset Garden was finally activated.

"It has begun", Asterix told us.

"Are we going to allow them to proceed?" Chash asked me.

"Why not? We enjoy the show", I replied to him.

"I don't understand. We should stop them now while we can", Ratatouille protested.

"This is not the first time that Kolgane is trying this kind of trick. Stopping his casting will not stop him from attempting the same again in the future", I replied to them.

------

From the depths of the earth, skeletal figures and revenants clawed their way to the surface, drawn forth by a mystical force that summoned them from their eternal rest.

These undead beings, animated by an otherworldly power, shuffled towards the epicenter of the call.

At the heart of this unholy spectacle stood a figure of regal bearing, a prince among men or perhaps a king among kings.

He commanded not only the living, but also the reclaimed dead who now pledged their allegiance to him. As the skeletons and corpses converged around him, they underwent a transformation, sacrificing themselves to imbue their monarch with their arcane essence.

With each passing moment, the king's dormant powers surged to life, his form crackling with newfound energy. The once-slumbering ruler now awakened as the Skeleton King, a formidable and fearsome presence to behold.

His skeletal visage bore the marks of time, with bones weathered and worn, emanating an eerie glow from the depths of his hollow sockets.

Adorned in the remnants of ancient armor, corroded by the passage of time, the Skeleton King exuded an aura of ancient malevolence.

In his grasp, he wielded a massive scimitar, forged from the realm of the dead, it seemed to devour all life around it. The blade thrummed with a hunger for conflict, emitting a spectral wail with each swing, echoing the anguish of the undead existence.

Thus, the Skeleton King emerged, ready to unleash his wrath upon the world.

-----

"Is this the new Lich King?" Chash asked.

"This is not the Lich King. He is something else", Meera commented to us about the Skeleton King before us.

"Rise of the Skeleton King"

"Something about him has the signature of the Blood Queen all over", I told them about my opinion.

"Did the Blood Queen redo his curse to become a skeleton instead of a lich?" Chash asked us.

"It is possible although I don't know what the difference between a lich and a skeleton is?" Cassandra replied and asked us.

"The Lich King's magic is limited by the need to feed on living beings. The Skeleton on the other hand only needs the bones in the ground", I told them.

"I don't know if there is any difference between the two, they are both vile undead", Cassandra asked.

"It is far easier and quicker to awaken his powers with skeletons, especially in a city where there are unfriendly forces governing, all the Skeleton King needs is a mass grave without a need to alert anybody", I explained to them of my theory.

We quickly lit a flare.

"Wee woo wee woo"

Loud alarms were heard as the city was alerted by the appearance of the Skeleton King.

The city's guards and the apostles were on their way here. Even conjurers were called from the Conjurer's court toward Sunset Garden, the site of the awakening of the Skeleton King.

------

"It is fortunate that you predicted this beforehand otherwise the reaction to the Skeleton King's rise will not be this quick", Iras said to me when we met up with the Control Freaks.

"The Skeleton King will not be our biggest problem", I told them.

"Are you sure, this skeleton creep is already big enough trouble?", Iviar replied to me.

"The Demon Queen will not create the Skeleton King in the middle of our city for no reason causing great alarm. This event will not be solitary", I said to them.

"What should we do then?" Iras asked me.

"We need to be prepared for the worst", I replied to him.

"In that case, I must return to the Conjurer Court first to organize a major defense just in case", Iras told us as he quickly returned to the Conjurer Court, leaving the Skeleton King for us to deal with.

The Skeleton King was now much larger and taller than the buildings around him. He wreaked havoc on the city as he smashed the buildings around him.

He was on a rampage and many innocent lives would be lost before we could stop him.

"Why does the Skeleton King attack the residents? He should flee the moment he heard our sirens. Isn't he afraid of us?" Anitor asked me.

"Because it is job here to fight with us. Killing innocent people is a part of what he does and plan to do", I replied to him.

"Should we fight him now?" Chash asked me.

"No hurry, we should let the apostles and the church deal with him first. We need to know what he is capable of first. We have not dealt with him before", I replied to them.

Apostles surrounded the Skeleton King, firing their magical sword beams at the monster. But the monster's body was extremely tough. Even the magic of the apostles couldn't harm the Skeleton King by much.

Suddenly, the hand of the Skeleton King broke away from him and flew toward the apostles.

"That Skeleton King's skeleton is so fragile. It can break so easily", Epius told us and commented.

"He probably broke his hand on purpose", Ratatouille replied to him.

Skeleton King's hand reached the apostles to grab and crush them. The apostles instinctively went on defensive and conjured magical shields to defend themselves.

While the Skeleton's hand was over the apostles like a cage that imprisoned them, his hand regrew again where it was broken before.

The Skeleton King grew back his broken hands.

"Breaking Hand Prisons"


Chapter 269: THE BREAKING HAND PRISON

THE BREAKING HAND PRISON

"Damn, how many hands can the skeleton have and grow back?" I asked them.

"Fight me Bully, Fight me now. I know you are here", the Skeleton King screamed out loud with a challenge in a deep hoarse voice.

"Why is he looking for you?" Eless asked me.

"Because he just lost to me in a fight in the Magic Arena", I replied to her.

"The Skeleton King was the guy you fought with once you returned to the city? Wasn't that one of our conjurers?" Illiwyn asked me.

"Yes, he wanted to test my prowess", I replied to her.

"I don't understand", she asked.

"The guy probably wanted to check if I am still around and active after I went silent in the city for so long during my trip to Delirium. He wanted to know if I am around to stop what they are doing now or going to do", I explained to them.

"Your fight with him didn't stop him from starting all this", Eless commented.

"He probably thought I was a fake after I fought so differently in the Magic Arena", I replied to her.

"He is cunning, this Skeleton King", Cassandra said to us.

"Not as cunning as master you, who followed him after your fight with Asterix's drones. We would not catch the Skeleton King this soon without early notice", Meera told her.

"You followed him after your fight? It was all planned," Anitor asked me.

"Yes, he was suspicious, and I took precautions", I replied to him without elaborating.

"All these talks, are we fighting the Skeleton King or not?" Iviar asked us impatiently.

"Yes, be my guest", I replied to him.

"About bloody time", Iviar replied to us grudgingly before rushing to fight against the Skeleton King.

-----

Iviar rushed out toward the Skeleton King and transformed into the 'Human Thing' again. But his hand was greatly enlarged to hold a powerful colossal hammer infused with the magic of Hell rocks.

Iviar slammed his colossal rocky hammer on the Skeleton King to break his chest, but the monster only took a step back from the impact of the smash.

"You humans are not my match", the Skeleton King told Iviar as his hand was released again.

Skeleton King's broken hand soon seized Iviar in his grasp, imprisoning him inside his bony cage.

"Breaking Hand Prisons"

"Damn, they got Iviar", Epius complained to us.

The priests and conjurers fired their weapons and magic on the enormous Skeleton king, but those attacks couldn't break the monster. Those broken skeletons of the Skeleton King caused by the relentless assaults quickly healed and repaired themselves.

The Skeleton King's armor was formidable and almost indestructible.

"Something is wrong with the Skeleton's magic", I told them.

"What is wrong?" Anitor asked me.

"His magic seems to be limitless. His bones regenerate almost immediately when damaged", I replied to him.

Asterix reported to me immediately after discovering that a secret source of magic was replenishing the Skeleton King while he fought. The seemingly endless magic would give him an advantage in battle.

"Are we attacking yet?" Chash asked me impatiently.

"We still don't know how to defeat the Skeleton King yet", I replied to him.

"We would lose this battle when you figure it out", Epius told me.

"Alright, Chash. It's your show but be careful", I told Chash.

Chash rose to face the Skeleton King and like Iviar before him, the Skeleton King released his broken hand to capture him.

But before the broken hand could reach him, it was smashed to the ground with the force of a powerful conjured sword that pinned it to the ground.

To the left, the smashed skeletal hand was completely frozen, while on the right, a fiery flame was burning relentlessly.

"Dominon of Ice and Fire"

Suddenly, the Skeleton King started to notice Chash who stopped his grasping skeleton hand. He was the only contestant here who was of his match and his attention was turned to him.

"Who are you?" Kolgane asked Chash.

"Your momma", Chash replied to him as he pulled the Sword of Dominon back to his back.

The Skeleton King now stood staring at Chash who floated before him. Their gaze met as they prepared for a duel.

"It seems you have forced me to use my ultimate skill", the Skeleton King said to Chash, unleashing his powerful ultimate without hesitation.

Suddenly, the ground erupted with hundreds of conjured ivories sprouting out like opened rib cages. The ivory was enormous, and they shot toward Chash to trap him before closing the ribs to cage him.

"Ivory Ribs of Force"

Chash was surprised by the conjuration which trapped him in the air, and he couldn't break free from them.

"Yes, this is what I thought. You cannot use your divine weapon again after you just used it", the Skeleton King told Chash smugly, after realizing a weakness in Chash's technique.

There was a cooldown to the use of the Sword of Dominon by Chash because his magic was limited. Without the use of the sword, he was defenseless against the skeleton.

"I'm used up. It's your turn now", Chash shouted back to us.

"The Skeleton King is too strong for us to deal with", Anitor told us.

"The Skeleton King is not invincible. He just has powerful and rapidly replenishing armor", I told him my opinion.

"What are we going to do? Chash is captured by the bone cage and couldn't be freed", Cassandra asked me worriedly.

"We wait a little longer", I replied to her despite the urgency of the situation.

Suddenly, the rib cage ivory that trapped Chash started to constrict and squeeze him with a powerful crushing force.

"Get me out of this damn cage", Chash pleaded with us.

"The skeleton is killing him, do something quick, master, or else Chash will be dead in no time", Meera said and pleaded with me.

"Just a moment longer", I replied to them.

"What the hell are you waiting for?" Chash shouted out in panic.

Suddenly, the response I was waiting for finally arrived.
