Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 46: Demon Soul

At the moment when the Skeleton Warrior's blade slanted and slipped, Thor flees from the opponent's attack range with a flutter.

Kneading his sore muscles arm, Thor looked at the tall skeleton who had lost his attack target and returned to a wandering state with lingering fear.

Thor suspected that it had climbed out of the graveyard to join the battlefield late in the battle tonight, because if it had been on the battlefield from the beginning, he and Lorton and others would have already encountered it in terms of probability.

The other party's terrifying power far beyond cognition, it can be imagined that once the four of them face it, even if they are not beaten to the head, it will definitely be a hard fight.

Because of his own existence, those weak-sensing skeletons gradually had a tendency to surround here again, and Thor finally glanced at the entire battlefield, turned decisively and walked towards the gap in the iron fence.

It's time to quit this battle tonight.

In theory, these wandering skeletons are unlikely to find the well head under the wreckage, but the probability is always there.

There is no way for Thor. The skeleton warrior's power is simply beyond his ability to contend. Even if Thor is confident to find new tactics from the speed advantage, the constant resurrection of the opponent deprives the meaning of combat.

Even if he was lucky enough to knock it away, it would stand up again after all.

So Sol can only choose to leave now.

...Skeleton, resurrection, destruction.

Messy thoughts flowed in his consciousness, and Saul stopped abruptly after taking a few steps.

He suddenly remembered a joke he had read in a certain book.

To be precise, it was only a short adventure story. The general content was that an adventurer accepted a mission commission issued by a tavern in the town. The commission request was to bring back the skull of a skeleton mage, which was used for alchemy.

When the adventurer took the commission and prepared to embark on the journey, the tavernkeeper made a joke with him.

"If you get a skull and find it watching you affectionately halfway through, please slam it until it no longer shines." said the tavern owner.

Thinking of this, Saul suddenly turned around and looked at the tall skeleton with green fire burning in his eyes not far away.

A skull that glows?

Sol always thought it was just a story.

...But what does it matter if you try?

Returning to the battlefield, Thor again approached the skeleton warrior with a one-handed hammer.

After clearing a circular area around the opponent, Thor did not rush to make a move. Instead, he began to use his speed to circle the skeleton warrior, keeping the distance and constantly tentatively observing the boundary of the opponent's attack range.

Soon, Saul laughed, and he realized that this skeleton was not as invincible as he thought.

When human beings find that there is an enemy close to themselves, they often use their own instincts to use their weapons to sweep backwards, or use their heels to maintain the center of gravity and quickly turn around to face the opponent.

The same goes for this skeleton warrior, except that his turning around is a bit funny.

First the head, then the chest cavity, and then the lower body, like a rusty and incoherent machine.

Although the whole turning process was dull and not obvious, it was enough for Thor.

After going around behind the skeleton warrior for the third time, confirming that the opponent's reaction was really slow and not an illusion of enticing the enemy, Thor suddenly exploded, quickly approached and suddenly jumped up.

"Boom!"

The timing was well grasped, the skull warrior's head almost just started to turn, Thor's hammer face with full swing of both hands had already hit the back of its head severely, and almost caused his arm to dislocate because of excessive force.

The blow was very real. The skull warrior's head fell to the ground and rolled out a certain distance. The skeleton of the whole body also scattered into a pile with the sound of ‘crack’.

Saul didn't expect that he would be able to make a single blow.

However, there was no happy expression on his face, he just calmly stood aside and watched with a hammer.

Until the broken bones on the ground recombined, the skull slowly rolled back and returned to its original position on the body.

It really stood up again.

After verifying the resurrection of the skeleton warrior for the first time, Thor repeated his old tricks and smashed the opponent's head again.

But this time, as soon as the skull fell to the ground and rolled, Sol had already started to rush to catch up. After kicking the skull a further distance, Sol shook the hammer in his hand.

The bones of the skull are very hard and have not become rotten due to weathering and corrosion as imagined.

After Thor's unorganized and brutal beating, dust was everywhere on the ground, and the half helmet that was originally buckled on the skull was deformed beyond recognition.

Calculating the time of the opponent's resurrection, Thor didn't even carefully check the effect he had caused. He decisively pulled the skull into an open grave next to him with his feet, and then quickly buried the entire head with the surrounding mud.

Thor wanted to see if the skull would push the dirt out of the ground.

He even decided that if the skeleton warrior was resurrected again, he would knock it apart again, then grab his eye socket and throw its head into the wilderness behind the retaining wall to see if it would come back over the wall...

Just as Thor's thoughts were flying, at a certain moment, as if time suddenly stopped flowing, the ordinary skeletons who were still pushing and squeezing toward this side suddenly fell still at the same time.

In the next moment, all the skeletons suddenly collapsed into dust in the same place, like sand sculptures destroyed by strong winds.

Seeing the weird scene, Sol didn't even have time to be shocked, and was attracted by the strange sight at his feet.

Right in front of my own eyes, where the skull warrior's head was buried just now, a gray flame appeared at some point.

This flame is very small, emitting a faint light on the ground, and it seems that even the wind cannot change its swaying.

Staring at the sight in front of him, Saul shuddered because of his excitement. He took a deep breath, and he quickly swept around like a thief.

There were no people around, and the empty cemetery was quiet, except for the shouts from far above the small town.

This is a magic soul!

Although Thor had only heard of it and never seen such a thing, he had an instinct when he first saw it at the moment.

The unknown old man had taught Thor some combat knowledge in just three days, and he even mentioned the promotion of rank at the beginning.

When he returned to the bottom of the well and communicated with Shugs, Shugs also said that he actually knew very early that the reason he never mentioned it was because the promotion had nothing to do with the two orphans, at least not at present.

In fact, promotion is not a secret among adventurers.

It is said that after the monsters and some unique monsters in the dark wilderness are hunted, there will be demon souls, and any ordinary person can absorb the demon souls and gradually accumulate them, thereby finally breaking through the physical boundaries to achieve the process of promotion.

The reason Saul and Shuggs were not too concerned was that they had to fight for their lives in the wilderness if they wanted to obtain the Demon Soul.

This means that they must have sufficient strength, must be an adventurer, and at the same time join a powerful adventure team.

Even if they are lucky enough to be in a certain team, monsters and monsters that are said to produce demonic souls are usually unique or powerful.

And even if they can survive the nine-dead battle, according to the priority of the adventurer squad on the contribution of the spoils, it is far from possible to have the two orphans' turn.

Now, a demon soul unexpectedly appeared in front of his eyes.
