Chapter 21: Black-Robed Man

Crack!

Crack!

York’s eyes lit up as he looked at the three Skeleton Swordsmen in front.

He had just stepped into the boneyard when he encountered undead creatures.

Moreover, it was the Skeleton monster that he had not encountered in a long time.

To York, who had the talent [Devour], the gains from killing skeletons were always the highest.

Without thinking, York unsheathed his rusty saber and charged.

After York’s inspection, the three Skeleton Swordsmen were only Level 35 monsters.

To an Elite Skeleton monster like York who had heaven-defying attributes, they were basically attribute points.

In just a few minutes, York finished off the three Skeleton Swordsmen.

However, just as York was about to use [Devour] to absorb the essence of the Skeleton Swordsmen, there was suddenly the sound of horses’ hooves in the distance.

Sensing something, York looked up.

Not far away, smoke and dust billowed. More than a dozen Skeleton Knights dressed in armor and riding skeleton warhorses charged over with their spears raised.

At the same time, system notifications appeared in front of him.

[Skeleton Knight]

[Level]: 40

[Status]: Health Points 1000, Magic Power 1000

[Attributes]: Constitution 90, Strength 100, Intelligence 80, Agility 120

[Skills]: Death Charge, Piercing Strike

More than a dozen Skeleton Knights charged at the same time. The magnificent scene shocked York.

Seeing that the Skeleton Knights were getting closer, York did not plan to devour the Skeleton Swordsmen anymore. He ran.

Raising his strength was useless at this moment. Protecting his life was the most important thing.

However, when York tried to escape, the skeletons chased after him as if they had their eyes on him.

With 120 Agility and the advantage in numbers, there was no chance for York to escape.

After being chased by these skeletons for several kilometers, seeing that they were getting closer, York gritted his teeth, drew his rusty saber, and turned around to face them.

Once he was trapped by these fellows, the outcome would definitely be death. Instead of fighting to the death, he might be able to kill his way out.

York raised his rusty saber and charged at a Skeleton Knight at the front. Thick death aura gathered on the saber.

“Ghost Slash!”

An icy strike struck the Skeleton Knight’s head, and at this moment, the Skeleton Knight raised its huge bone spear to receive the blow.

Block!

An intense metallic clang sounded. York’s attack failed, but he did not stop.

He turned around and moved between the Skeleton Knights with the advantage of his small body. At the same time, he looked for an opportunity to suddenly attack.

He wanted to use this chance to cause a commotion and escape.

However, he was quickly disappointed.

These Skeleton Knights did not seem to be ordinary undead creatures.

Not only were their stats quite high, but they were also well-trained. The cooperation between them seemed to be tacit.

No matter how hard York tried, he could not escape from their encirclement.

York was puzzled by this. Logically speaking, these Skeleton Knights were only Level 40 monsters.

They should not have such high intelligence. Not only did they know how to act collectively, but they also knew how to cooperate with others.

York thought about how these guys had appeared when he had just killed a few Skeleton Swordsmen.

The abnormalities made him think of a possibility.

Could someone be manipulating them from behind the scenes?

Without giving him a chance to think, his health was approaching the critical line under the siege of a group of Skeleton Knights.

After all, he was only a Level 13 Elite Skeleton monster.

He could barely deal with a few Skeleton Swordsmen, but it was too difficult to fight a group of Level 40 monsters at once.

However, York did not give up. If he did, he would die.

He quickly moved under the warhorse’s hooves, waiting for an opportunity.

Suddenly, a spear struck his skull.

York quickly dodged, but the spear still struck his leg.

The bone spear directly nailed his left leg to the ground, sealing his movements.

York raised his rusty saber and was about to abandon his left leg to flee.

But now, more spears attacked him.

Two spears sealed his hands, and the other spear nailed his right leg to the ground.

With his movements sealed, York was filled with despair. He looked up at the dozens of Skeleton Knights, his eyes flickering with fury.

He had miscalculated in the end, but he was unwilling to give up. If he had more time, these despicable fellows would definitely not be his match.

However, there was no second chance in the world.

Just as York thought that he could not escape death, a hoarse and sharp voice sounded.

“What an interesting Skeleton monster!”

The next moment, a thin, white-haired man in black appeared before York.

The man stared at York, his eyes shining with excitement.

“You’re clearly a Skeleton monster, but your combat strength is so high.”

“You also know how to fight and escape when in trouble. Even when forced into a corner, you still wanted to break your leg to survive.”

The black-robed man suddenly moved his face close to York and stared at him with his dark eyes.

“You’re very interesting!”
