Chapter 31: Skeleton Sniper, Dark Mage!

Bruce quickly approached the Arrow Tower.

20 meters…

10 meters…

3 meters…

When Bruce reached the bottom of the Arrow Tower, he stopped and hid in a small corner. In this corner, he only needed to lean out to see the skeleton sniper.

If he charged from that corner, he could cross a short flight of steps and rush to the back of the skeleton sniper in the arrow tower.

However, he was not in a hurry to act.

After entering the Death Castle, Bruce needed to pay attention to two points.

Firstly, he had to be careful not to alarm the skeletons in the castle. Otherwise, he would be surrounded by a large number of warrior skeletons, elite skeletons, and advanced skeletons.

Secondly, he had to pay attention to the return of the Skeleton King.

Bruce did not know how the Skeleton King commanded its warrior-ranked skeletons.

If the Skeleton King simply intimidated the skeleton generals and skeleton warriors, the Skeleton King would not be able to notice it even if Bruce killed all the skeletons in the castle.

Under such circumstances, it would only return after killing the skeleton army under Bruce’s command.

If the Skeleton King used enslavement as Bruce did, Bruce would have to be more cautious. Any small move would put the Skeleton King on alert.

Under such circumstances, the Skeleton King would probably rush back to the Death Castle at the fastest speed possible and kill Bruce and his army!

Bruce did not dare to gamble.

Therefore, he decided to wait for the right time.

Time passed by. Bruce hid in that corner and did not move at all, as if he was a dead corpse.

Finally, after more than ten minutes had passed, a large amount of information suddenly refreshed from his status panel.

Bruce was in shock.

—

“Your servant, Skeletor, is dead.”

“Your servant, the skeleton guard, is dead.”

“Your servant, the Skeleton Warrior, is dead.”

“Your servant, Skeletor, is dead.”

“Your servant…”

—

There were also dozens of messages popping up on Bruce’s status panel, all of which were about the death of his skeleton brothers.

Before this, Bruce had taken over the control of the only skeleton commander under his command. He had checked the battle situation more than ten kilometers away.

After being surrounded by three skeleton armies, the three skeleton armies that belonged to the Skeleton King were not in a hurry to take action. They only surrounded and did not kill. It seemed that they were waiting for the arrival of the Skeleton King.

And now, dozens of skeleton underlings were killed at almost the same time. It seemed that only the Skeleton King could do it!

His field of vision switched.

When Bruce focused his attention on one of the skeleton underlings in the skeleton army, he saw the tall figure.

The furious Skeleton King rushed into his skeleton army. The two-handed war hammer in his hands smashed down fiercely. An explosive shock wave spread out with the war hammer as the center, shattering all the skeletons within a radius of dozens of meters into dust.

The Skeleton King had started the battle!

The Death Castle was about ten kilometers away from the battlefield. According to conservative estimates, it would take the Skeleton King about five to six minutes to rush from the battlefield to the Death Castle.

Then, the soul fire in his eyes flickered slightly. All the skeletons in his body tensed up at this moment. Bruce’s body rushed out like a leopard that had finished charging up its power. His target was precisely the skeleton sniper in the Arrow Tower!

He took a step forward.

He crossed over a distance of more than ten meters.

When the skeleton sniper and the two skeleton shooters beside him appeared in front of him, the skeleton broadsword in Bruce’s hand was raised high. He then slashed out with all his might!

“Death Cut!”

Ten pitch-black light blades exploded out.

It was like a cage that surrounded the skeleton sniper and the two skeleton shooters.

Along with the extremely sharp cutting sound, large amounts of bone powder flew in the air.

Out of the ten light blades, the two skeleton shooters took the first four, while the remaining six were all taken by the skeleton sniper.

When the pitch-black light disappeared, the three skeleton scriptures were cut into several pieces and lay on the ground.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Three crisp sounds rang out consecutively, shattering the remaining heads of the three skeletons. Only then did Bruce bend down and absorb the bones left behind by the skeleton sniper.

—

“You have killed the skeleton sniper.”

“You have gained 5,000 experience points.”

“You have killed the skeleton sniper X2.”

“You have gained 1,000 experience points.”

“You have absorbed the essence of the skeleton, and your body has become stronger.”

“Your strength has increased by 3 points.”

“Your agility has increased by 45 points.”

“Your vitality has increased by 2 points.”

“You have obtained the warrior class template, skeleton sniper’s class advancement information.”

—

The second warrior class template had been obtained!

After taking a look at the information refreshed on the attributes panel, Bruce ignored the skeletons left behind by the two elite skeletons and immediately left the arrow tower, heading towards the center of the castle.

He was in a hurry.

The skeletons left behind by the two elite skeletons could only provide him with a limited amount of attributes, so he simply gave up.

In the other three arrow towers on the city wall, there was also a skeleton sniper. However, their attention was mainly on the outside of the Death Castle. Since they sneaked into the Death Castle, they would basically be able to avoid the sight of the three skeleton snipers.

Recalling the information he got from the skeleton commander, Bruce moved carefully along the edge of the castle corridor.

This was the core of the boneyard.

It had the thickest scent of death.

Nature…

There were no plants in the castle.

However, the abandoned empty spaces and training grounds were covered with broken bones.

Even at the corner of the castle’s corridor, there were piles of bones and skulls. These were the remains of the skeletons that had been killed over a long period of time.

He carefully passed through the front yard of the castle and entered the castle.

Bruce stopped again.

In front of him, two skeleton squads were passing through a corridor.

There were two skeleton squads. One was a skeleton warrior led by a skeleton general, and the other was a skeleton archer led by a skeleton archer.

From the route, the skeleton battle ground squads were going to patrol the front yard of the castle, while the skeleton archer squads were going to patrol the interior of the castle. The two skeleton squads, one at the front and one at the back, crossed each other in front of Bruce.

They moved forward slowly.

Bruce calculated the travel time of the two skeleton squads.

When the two skeleton squads overlapped on each other on the fork, he suddenly rushed out from the hiding place in the passage!

“Space-shattering Slash!”

Soon, the dark-red light blade spread out.

It tore all the skeletons in the two skeleton squads into pieces, turning them into broken bones on the ground.

Bruce quickened his pace and went through this fork to enter the inner part of the castle along the stairs.

After reaching the inner part of the castle, Bruce felt much more relaxed.

There were no more patrols in the castle. There were only skeleton guards, who stood in their positions for a long time without moving.

With Bruce’s ability, it was too easy for him to sneak into the castle without alerting the skeleton guards.

Soon, following the route in the skeleton commander’s memory, Bruce bypassed many skeleton guards and skeleton guards and appeared in a hall.

This hall was more than a hundred meters wide.

In the entire hall, apart from a few stone pillars that supported the dome on both sides, the only decoration was the throne that was also made of stone that was located in the deepest part of the hall.

This was the Skeleton King’s throne.

Usually, the Skeleton King would sleep on that throne. When needed, it was where he would summon the many warrior-level subordinates under its command.

In front of the throne, there were two doors on both sides of the hall.

One of these two doors led to the bedroom—it should be the place where the owner of the castle rested in the beginning, while the other led to the library. Once, this was the place where the owner’s hired spell casters would rest and study.

Now, this library had a secret. It was Bruce’s second target.
