"Damn it!" A prospective adventurer cursed silently and swung his sword to cut down several skeletons in front of him. Although he was not injured at this moment, he felt a sense of gravity because for some reason, the physical exertion seemed to be several times greater than usual in this battle. If it were before, with the stamina he was currently consuming, it would be enough to support three times the duration of the battle.
Of course, that was on the premise that he didn't use his ultimate battle technique!
However, just as he was contemplating how to escape, a strong gust of wind suddenly hit his back. It was the sound of heavy weapons being swung rapidly. Without hesitation, he raised his heavy sword to resist.
"Ding!" A crisp sound of metal clanging, and this adventurer felt that he was dealing with a powerful monster, as his tiger's mouth cracked, and even his bones emitted a slight cracking sound.
However, what stood before him was not a huge high-level monster, but a skeleton emitting an icy blue aura. And this icy blue aura was not anything else but the special mutated form of water-based ice magic. Being able to appear in this form meant that it had reached an extremely advanced state.
But the ice skeleton in front of him only had the strength of a high-level professional, yet it was much stronger than an ordinary high-level professional. It must have been a former Extreme professional specializing in ice.
"Ice burst sword!"
The dark blue giant sword in the ice skeleton's hand surged with turbulent magic power. The next moment, ice shards splattered, and with the screams of the prospective adventurer, blood and flesh flew in abundance.
The adventurer flew straight back for more than ten meters before crashing into the mast and coming to a stop. At this moment, he was covered in bloody, mangled flesh, and one arm had already been severed. Although he had not died, he had lost all fighting ability. In his desperate eyes, he was killed by several skeleton monsters!
There was not just one skeleton that had appeared, but also four other skeleton monsters with different magical attributes representing fire, earth, wind, and darkness.
These newly appeared skeletons belonged to a very powerful type. A single high-level professional was simply no match for them, and because they had no pain and were not afraid of death, these skeleton monsters fought without any regard and cared only to kill. To deal with one skeleton, it would take at least two high-level professionals, or even three to hold one down.
Originally, there were already many skeleton monsters, and now there were even more difficult-to-deal-with ones. The situation had completely turned to one side, with people being constantly killed by the skeletons. Although more skeleton monsters were being shattered, it wouldn't take long for these monsters to reappear and join the battle again.
"Brother, this is not a way to go on!"
"Hmm?" Bud heard his brother's words and frowned, looking towards a certain position on the ghost ship, revealing a clear smile. He had not made a move from the very beginning, choosing to observe instead. Now he had already seen through some things.
"I already know what this is. Let me break through this deceitful trick next!"
Bud's whole body erupted with a strong bloody aura. This was his special blood magic power, also the reason he became famous as the "Bloody War Chariot." This blood magic power brought forth immense strength and physical resilience, which was why he used to intimidate others on the battlefield.
At this moment, Bud was like a giant beast, the pressure he exuded causing the deck under his feet to emit mournful groans. He charged towards a certain direction like a bullet, just like a steel chariot, smashing everything in his path into smithereens.
"Lion's furious strike!"
"Boom!" With a loud explosion, a surge of blood-colored magic power dispersed some of the darkness, improving visibility and allowing everyone to see the hidden hand behind the scenes.
It was an undead creature oozing a pitch-black aura of death. He was dressed in a black leather coat and wearing a captain's hat on his head. Under his feet was an eleven-layered purple-black magic array, the symbol of an Intermediate-level Extreme. Each additional layer represented an increase in rank by a small level.
At this moment, the revealed black undead creature looked menacingly at the crowd with blood-red pupils, as if it had been seen by something terrifying, causing people to involuntarily associate it with death and feel a sense of fear.
"Sss... You shall all become sacrifices for Lord Mold!"
Surprisingly, this pitch-black undead creature still had its own consciousness. His voice was eerie and unpleasant, sharp like the sound of a saw grating against wood.
And as his words fell, another layer of magic array appeared on the eleven-layer magic array under his feet.
The twelve-layer magic array! It represents the highest level of magic on Extreme and is also the strongest magic on Extreme!
In the next moment, dozens of black shadows fell from the pitch-black sky and fiercely crashed into the crowd. Looking closely, they turned out to be coffins, but the skeleton monsters that appeared from them in the next moment filled people with despair.
Two Extremes!
Ten high-level monsters!
The appearance of twelve skeleton monsters in total brought despair to people. It was already difficult enough to deal with the five high-level skeleton monsters, but now there were twelve even stronger skeletons, including two Extremes. It was as if they wanted to kill them all!
No! It was indeed to kill them all!
However, there was still hope at this moment because the hidden manipulator appeared. As long as he defeated this undead, perhaps they could still leave alive. And all of this depended on whether Brude could defeat him.
"Isn't this the lost Puppetry Technique? And you should be the former "Controller: Lu Jie" of this ghost ship, right?!" Brude frowned as he looked at the undead in front of him. He didn't attack impulsively, even though the other party seemed to have no defenses at all. However, he gave Brude a sense of unease.
"Susu—! I didn't expect that someone could still recognize me, Lu Jie!" Lu Jie's voice was still harsh, but he didn't say much to Brude. Instead, he opened his coat, revealing a pair of huge claws extending from his pitch-black body. Then, a half-bodied ghost emerged from it!
Although both ghosts and undead were undead creatures, they were completely different. Undead creatures were formed by the souls of original or other creatures after death, while ghosts were born undead creatures, and they were the most vicious and cruel among them all!
It could even be said that undead were intelligent beings, while wraith were mindless killing machines!
"What is this...?!" Brude was also shocked by the terrifying appearance of the ghost. It gave him an extreme sense of danger, and that feeling just now came from it. Initially, he thought that once he found the manipulator behind the scenes, victory was in his hands, but now he realized he was too naive.
