Chapter 381: 217 The Second Crystal Heart

Kyle suspected that Dean McKenzie deliberately attacked his Holy Light Angel but he dare not say it.

Because Dean McKenzie was glowing a shimmering grey hue.

Moreover, the freshly summoned skeleton beside Dean McKenzie, and the gaze of Strong Grass were all pointed at him.

So, rationally, Kyle opted to keep quiet.

After all, without his Holy Light Angel; he was just an insignificant Six-turn, anyone here could easily squash him.

Meanwhile, the Gold Master, unexpectedly having a kill stolen, was quite furious. He twirled around and with his waist almost reaching five to six meters in length, he forcefully swung the golden spear in his hand towards Old Nine!

“Thup!”

Old Nine was pierced into the ground with the Golden Spear, but being protected by the Guardian Shield, Old Nine was unharmed and still managed to shoot an arrow at the Gold Master!

The arrow shot directly through his head!

Primarily because its heart is valuable, Dean McKenzie had previously ordered, if possible, to remove the heart in a way that ensures its intactness.

Otherwise, Old Nine’s arrow would have targeted its heart.

But because the strike wasn’t aimed at the heart, even a headshot couldn’t kill the Gold Master.

The shattered cranium nearly regenerated instantaneously.

At the same moment when the head was healing, Strong Grass had already arrived in front of the Gold Master and sliced him in half at the waist with her long sword.

However, the upper half of the Gold Master’s severed body immediately burst into a myriad of golden rays, sweeping across the surroundings.

Strong Grass managed to block most of it with her sword, however, she was still hit by the remaining rays.

Thankfully, she was protected by Old Four’s Guardian Shield that she had on her, preventing her from getting injured. But she was still blown away.

The two rounds of confrontation demonstrated the terrifying strength of the Gold Master.

Although he was a Seven-turn existence, with the assistance of the golden heart modified by the Crystal Heart, its vitality was extremely stubborn, and extremely resistant to attacks.

This endowed it with strong combat capabilities at this level.

Moreover, since Old Nine could not directly aim at its heart, solely relying on Strong Grass and Old Nine might not be good enough to bring it down.

Fortunately, what Dean McKenzie lacked wasn’t the number of people!

Just as the Gold Master repelled Strong Grass and stabilized himself, a dagger slid across its neck.

Forced Decapitation was activated, the Gold Master’s head fell off.

At the same time, a black holy light shone.

A spear appeared out of nowhere in Old Seven’s hand, instantly bombarding and blowing up the Gold Master’s body.

Mirroring this, the figure of Old Two appeared,

“Kneel down!”

The king of bones erupted, and a powerful pressure instantly fell onto the Gold Master, rendering him immobile.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Old Eight’s bony hand reached forth, plunging into the Gold Master’s body, and pulled out its golden heart.

As a result of this extraction, the golden heart exploded with energy, immediately transforming Old Eight into a golden skeleton.

The Golden Heart in his hand also loosened its grip, as Old Seven dashed over like a baton handover and grabbed the heart, subsequently turning into golden form too.

Old Two, on the other hand, was very smart and directly summoned skeletons under his command.

Skeleton after skeleton joined the fray.

In no time, several dozen to hundreds of Golden Skeletons appeared in the scene.

But as more and more Golden Skeletons emerged, the energy of the Golden Heart became weaker.

After the 99th skeleton was turned into gold, Old Two personally intervened.

He grabbed the hold of the Golden Heart.

As Old Two moved, the highly consumed Golden Heart finally had no strength to explode anymore, and it was steadily held in Doggy Two’s hand.

With the artifact finally under Doggy Two’s full control, the surrounding gold, including the Gold Master’s body, completely collapsed.

The Golden Heart in Doggy Two’s hand, after making a cracking sound, shifted into a crystal hue.

At this moment, Dean McKenzie’s system notifications refreshed in his ear.

[You have successfully slain the[Gold Master], and received one[Gold Master Chest]!]

[You obtained the[Golden Heart], and successfully purified the[Golden Heart]into a[Crystal Heart]!]

[You have completed your task[Crystal Heart], current task progress 2/5, you can submit it now, submitted task reward ranked SS Level!]

[You obtained a Crystal Heart, and acquired 10,000 Exploration Points. You currently have 14,830 Exploration Points!]

[You completed exploration of the Golden Plains, and gained 10,000 Exploration Points. You currently have 24,830 Exploration Points!]

…

Numerous system notifications kept refreshing at this time, but Dean McKenzie, currently in the middle of powering up, didn’t notice those notifications.

But it doesn’t matter.

Those in Dean McKenzie’s skeleton crew are very familiar with the app.

After the battle, the ones in charge of cleaning the battlefield got to work.

Glowing dots, fragments of buildings, and even any particularly interesting things in the vicinity were all collected by Doggy Two’s crew, following their motto: leave no stone unturned.

Old Six even instructed the skeletons to dismantle and carry back the altar from the previous passage.

The operations by Dean McKenzie’s Doggy crew left Kyle dumbfounded.

More accurately, he was stunned right from the moment when Dean McKenzie’s skeletons began to march out.

Originally, Kyle was puzzled as to how Strong Grass was not just alive but also receiving heritage when she was on the brink of demise?

From the moment Old Nine appeared, Kyle began to understand the state of affairs.

Turns out Dean McKenzie, although appearing as a Six-turn Necromancer on the surface, actually commanded a Seven-turn Skeleton?

No wonder Strong Grass managed to survive.

Dean McKenzie was truly a master of hiding!

Then he discovered that Dean McKenzie actually had a second, a third, a fourth, all the way to a hundred and eighth Seven-turn Skeleton…
