From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword
Chapter 429 - 287: Abyss Summoner Attack, Skeleton Sea_2
At that moment,
Lu Heng followed Fiona back onto the battlefield and quickly assessed the chaotic situation.
The most pressing issue now was the skeleton army that surged like a tide, with some skeletons already breaching the escort team, wounding arcane masters with weapons and claws.
Although the attack power of the skeleton soldiers was not high, the sheer number overwhelmed, and even minor injuries could become fatal as they worsened with prolonged fighting.
Thus, it was crucial to address the skeleton army issue immediately.
Seeing the Bone Wall rolling in, about to submerge the escort team, Lu Heng drew the Aurora Blade and began to gather power.
Once he had accumulated enough power, he shot forth, breaking the sound barrier with a ''bang'' and executed the Wind Dragon Breathless Slash, a sword skill of the Sword Saint Terries.
As the slash was delivered, it unleashed a fierce wind pressure; the howling gale formed into a wind dragon, plunging into the sea of skeletons.
The Wind Dragon, capable of lifting 30-ton stone pillars into the sky, smashed through the skeletons, shattering all bones in its tornado-like blade and spiraling them towards the heavens.
In an instant, the Wind Dragon morphed into a Bone Dragon, with countless bone fragments whirling within the tempest, creating a spectacle both terrifying and eerie.
The Bone Dragon instantly shattered the Bone Wall, sending thousands of bone fragments into the sky, scattering them several kilometers away, never to reassemble.
The Wind Dragon Breathless Slash directly neutralized the threat of the skeleton sea.
The elf warriors present all exhibited surprised expressions.
Many recognized the name of the move: "This is... the Wind Dragon Breathless Slash! Terries''s sword skill!"
Not just the elf warriors, even Fiona showed a surprised face.
As the wind dragon roared, she turned her head briefly and saw the dragon raging in the skeleton sea, her eyes also filled with astonishment.
She had once witnessed Terries perform this very sword skill, which was undoubtedly a formidable swords mastery in the Quel''dorei World.
Unexpectedly, it was executed by a human.
With Lu Heng breaking the Bone Wall, the remaining skeleton soldiers no longer posed a threat and were utterly destroyed by the combined attacks of the elf warriors and human superpower users.
However, there was definitely still an undead force controlling the skeleton sea lurking around, and it was essential to find and deal with it to prevent future troubles.
As Lu Heng passed by Su Muyu, he reminded her, "Within three kilometers, there''s definitely a Witch Demon or an Undead Wizard. Find them."
Su Muyu nodded and replied, "I''m on it."
In fact, before Lu Heng returned, she had been trying to find a way to break the skeleton sea. S~ea??h the Novёl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Direct attacks on such massive numbers of skeleton soldiers were ineffective; the best approach was to locate the puppeteer behind them.
Therefore, she had been trying to find the entity controlling the skeleton sea since a moment ago.
However, a three-kilometer distance was indeed a bit far.
If using ordinary scouting methods, it was impossible to thoroughly search every corner within a three-kilometer radius in less than several hours.
The only way to find this undead entity quickly was to use "Energy Wave Sensing."
As long as the target cast a spell within the skill''s sensing range, the rough direction could be determined, making it simple to locate the source.
That''s also why "Energy Wave Sensing" was rated as a Level B skill.
All energy fluctuations within the sensing range couldn''t escape detection.
Moreover, the sensing range of this skill was 30 times the spiritual power.
With the blessing of the ancient tree, Su Muyu''s spiritual power had reached an impressive 109 points.
This meant that the "Energy Wave Sensing" range extended to 3270 meters.
Pretty much the entire three-kilometer area was within the skill''s sensing range.
Additionally, the Chongming Bird, with its Summoned Creature Vision trait, also possessed the "Energy Wave Sensing" effect, invisibly expanding the sensing range significantly.
With the skeleton sea dispersed, if the undead entity behind it wanted to act again, it would definitely need to cast a spell.
At that moment,
Su Muyu sensed a subtle energy fluctuation from the southwest through the Chongming Bird.
She sharply opened her eyes and looked in that direction.
There was a mound in that direction, about four kilometers away.
The distance was farther than Lu Heng had guessed, and it wouldn''t have been perceivable without the Chongming Bird being in the southwest.
And at that moment,
the dispersed skeleton sea began to move again, thousands of skeleton fragments congregating to form a colossal skeleton, fifteen meters tall.
The giant skeleton stood up, thumping the ground with ''thud thud thud'' as it charged towards the escort team.
Seeing this, Lu Heng released his Source Material Energy and executed a Rift Slash.
With one strike, the giant skeleton was shattered, and the Rift Sword Radiance turned all skeleton fragments into dust.
After destroying the giant skeleton, Lu Heng turned to Su Muyu, his eyes asking for the outcome.
"I found it, near a mound four kilometers southwest. Should I attack him?" Su Muyu inquired.
"The Chongming Bird probably can''t kill him outright; we need a one-hit kill, or he''ll escape and be hard to capture," Lu Heng wanted to personally handle this target, but with the battle escalating, he couldn''t leave just yet.
Lin Zeyu volunteered, "Give me invisibility; I''ll capture him. Just let me see him, and he won''t escape."
Lu Heng agreed with this plan and instructed Su Muyu to apply the invisibility effect on him.
