Chapter 113: Setting Fire to the Mountain, Spending Life in Prison

"Kill him!"

Accompanied by the hoarse shout of the Skeleton Knight, the undead soldiers hidden in the woods approached quickly and waved their bone scimitars and daggers at Carl.

These undead soldiers have at least level 3 strength, and the characteristics of [Cluster Tactics] make them more brutal when there are similar people around.

In addition to the gains brought by the Skeleton Knight's bone battle flag, ordinary professionals will definitely fall when they encounter such a group of wolf-like guys.

[Thunder Wave]

When the undead soldiers approached him, Carl immediately released a thunder wave.

The ultrasonic waves generated by high-frequency vibration made the bones of these undead soldiers "crackling", but a strange force maintained the shape of these skeletons and mummies, preventing them from being shaken apart.

However, even so, many undead soldiers were temporarily unable to move because of [Thunder Damage].

"Bang!"

Like playing polo, Carl swung a sledgehammer and completely ended the ability of an undead soldier to move.

At this moment, the skeleton knight who had just been knocked to the ground by Carl stood up and pointed at Carl, his jaw opening and closing continuously.

The second-level enchantment spell named [Crown of Madness] was released, and this skeleton knight actually wanted to control Carl!

The power of the spell instantly infected Carl's mind, but Carl's psychic power played an unexpected role at this time.

What else is closer to the essence of the mind than psychic power?

Speaking of controlling the mind, psychic power is the one that is better at.

Although Carl's psychic power is not very strong, it is enough to deal with this skeleton knight who can only release 2-level spells.

Moreover, as the holder of the Exploration Dragon Mark, Carl's perception attribute can completely exempt this spell.

As the psychic power broke the spell effect, Carl, who was controlled for two seconds, was immediately scared and broke into a cold sweat.

The days of fighting various beasts in the dungeon made him accustomed to the favorable situation where the opponent could not cast spells, and he was a little careless just now.

But after the shock, there was a burning anger. Facing the besieged undead soldiers, Carl felt that his body suddenly surged with stronger power.

The sledgehammer swept across, and several more undead soldiers were killed.

Seeing that so many of his men were killed in such a short time, the Skeleton Knight rushed over with the bone sword.

The abilities mastered by the Skeleton Knights are similar to those of the 8th-level holy warriors who broke their oaths, but they cannot be redeemed and regain their oaths.

He rubbed his palm on the bone sword, and the power of the spell wrapped the sword, causing a layer of black mist to permeate the sword.

[Mark Slash]

A 2-ring energy-shaping spell for the holy warrior.

A normal Mark Slash will cause the weapon to release radiant damage the next time it hits the enemy, but the oath-breaker holy warrior will cause it to release eclipse damage.

Turning the sledgehammer, the magnetic field lines cut with the earth's magnetic field made the lightning on the hammer more intense.

One man and one undead charged at each other at the same time, and the surrounding undead soldiers could only serve as a foil for this fight.

"Boom--"

The hammer and the greatsword collided with each other, and the interweaving of lightning and eclipse energy produced a small explosion.

The two men, who were evenly matched in strength, were repelled by the aftermath of the explosion, but the bodies of the undead were not as sensitive as humans.

Twisting his body, the Skeleton Knight turned around on the spot, and actually tried to use the reaction force of the explosion to strengthen his next slash.

How could Carl give him this opportunity to hit him!

The Khyber Dragon Crystal on his chest was activated, and a blazing flame emerged from the jet nozzle of the power armor, and actually took Carl, who had lost his center of gravity, to fly backwards.

The Skeleton Knight's slash naturally did not hit Carl, and Carl readjusted his center of gravity in mid-air and landed steadily again.

Just when Carl wanted to rush again, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out in the woods.

And this horse hoof sound was not one, but a group.

Turning his head to look, Carl's pupils shrank suddenly.

At some point, a team of Skeleton Knights had rushed over.

They each carried 12 undead soldiers, gathered together, and looked like a huge group.

"!"

Raising his arm, the rifle that had been integrated into Carl's arm armor fired continuously.

He didn't care what he could hit, just tried to weave a firepower network around himself as much as possible.

After the last friendly match with Ryan, Carl specially modified some structures and increased the firing rate.

The undead soldiers wanted to surround them, but Carl's firepower was quite strong, and he actually killed several of them directly.

A sore feeling came from the center of his eyebrows, and Carl knew that he could upgrade.

Maintaining the current posture, Carl closed his eyes and concentrated, guiding his accumulated spirituality to inject into the professional core of the strange mechanic.

Carl only felt that his brain was cool for a moment, and then nothing happened.

Just as he thought in the dungeon, there is a "window period" for strange mechanics after level 3. At this stage, strange mechanics will not get much strength bonus from their job.

Although this breakthrough on the battlefield is not very useful, it is still a good thing to upgrade.

After opening his eyes again, Carl was about to activate the dragon crystal again to fly away from the battlefield, but he saw a skeleton knight rushing towards him.

‘Damn! I was a little too arrogant! It turns out that a breakthrough on the battlefield is not an easy thing, and people won’t stand there waiting for you! ’

Raising his hand hastily, Carl tried to block the opponent's attack with his hammer.

But the opponent was riding a mount, and the speed of the skeleton warhorse plus the power that was already equal to Carl's power armor, the hammer in Carl's hand was immediately knocked away by the opponent.

Fortunately, Carl was also a skilled hunter in his previous life.

The moment he realized that he was no match for the opponent, Carl rolled to the side.

The hammer flew out in a spiral, and Carl was not injured except for some fallen leaves and dust on his power armor.

'Huh? Wait! Fallen leaves? '

He stepped on the fallen leaves under his feet calmly, and the crisp texture made Carl immediately think of a good way to deal with these enemies-fire attack.

'Although it is a bit destructive to the environment... But there is no other way. Can I just watch these skeleton knights continue to move? I can run, but the nearby villages can't! '

Having made up his mind, Carl activated the dragon crystal.

Flames were released from the jets all over his body, and the Skeleton Knight, who was about to turn his horse and attack Carl again, immediately retreated a little.

In just a few seconds, the fallen leaves on the ground were ignited.

Carl controlled the direction of the flames and shuttled through the woods.

"Not good! This kid is going to use thick smoke to warn the surroundings! Put out the fire quickly!"

It was the Skeleton Knight who attacked Carl just now. Seeing Carl suddenly running around in the woods, he quickly understood Carl's purpose.

Although his shout made his companions understand Carl's intention, it also made Carl pay more attention to him.

'This guy... can't stay! '

Undead with higher intelligence have the opportunity to evolve to a higher form.

For example, the Skeleton Knight, his superior is the famous Death Knight.

Of course, the span in between is too large. At its peak, the Kingdom of Karnas had thousands of Skeleton Knights, but only one of them succeeded.
