CHAPTER 681: CHAPTER 415: CONFRONTING THE BONE SOVEREIGN

On the ancient battlefield in the southern part of the Queldorei Continent, a figure shrouded in dark mist stepped through the dry ground.

Every step he took caused the surrounding ground to tremble.

Skeleton arms burst forth from the earth, clawing at the surface as they crawled out from underground.

The valiant spirits that perished in the ancient battlefield hundreds of years ago were now reduced to buried bones, yet at this moment, these spirit skeletons became the servants of the Bone Sovereign.

Undead skeletons emerged from the earth one by one, slowly gathering and following the Bone Sovereign, forming a procession that wound through the wilderness.

From a bird’s-eye view, the ground was densely packed with "shadowy figures," resembling a troop on the march.

Only upon closer inspection did it become apparent that the figures in the procession were all bloodless skeletons.

Some wore tattered armor, while others held rusted weapons, emitting an unsettling rattling sound as they moved.

The Bone Sovereign was enveloped in a thick dark mist that seeped into the earth with each step he took, continuously awakening the ancient spirits slumbering beneath the battlefield.

Ke Yiming followed alongside, intentionally keeping some distance from the skeletons behind him.

He did not wish to inhale the rotten stench emanating from the skeletons, as it was not a pleasant experience.

He would occasionally glance skyward as he walked.

Ten minutes earlier, a magic mark had appeared on him.

The magic mark lasted only three seconds before being wiped away by the Bone Sovereign, but he knew that the elves had already had enough time to pinpoint his location.

Hence, he knew someone would soon catch up.

As predicted, when he looked back at the sky again, several black dots appeared on the horizon.

Relying on his transcendent vision, he immediately recognized them as Dragon Hawks of the Elf Clan.

He turned to the Bone Sovereign shrouded in dark mist ahead and said, "The elves have caught up."

The Bone Sovereign seemed indifferent, continuing to stride forward, where skeletons burst from the earth behind him.

...

In the sky above.

Lu Heng and his company rode flying mounts, flying at full speed.

In supersonic cruise mode, crossing a distance of 150 kilometers would take less than 10 minutes, including acceleration time.

The Qingluan Divine Bird flew even faster, reaching speeds of Mach 15, crossing 150 kilometers in just 30 seconds.

Thus, within half a minute of takeoff, the Qingluan Divine Bird was already hovering invisibly over the ancient battlefield, pinpointing the Bone Sovereign’s location.

During these 10 minutes, Su Muyu continuously reported the Bone Sovereign’s situation.

"I feel something is strange, be careful everyone. Since the Qingluan Divine Bird locked onto the Bone Sovereign’s position, he has maintained a slow advancing state, continuously awakening the skeletons underground."

As the distance drew closer, Lu Heng could already see the Bone Sovereign’s position with the naked eye.

Without even trying to search, the Bone Sovereign was at the forefront of the skeleton procession on the ground.

Moreover, in the distance on the mountain, a dragon skeleton had crossed the mountain range heading north.

So far, they had seen as many as six dragon skeletons, though not as powerful as Frost Bone Dragons, they still posed a considerable threat to Kolos City.

...

Terres was the fastest, a blade light swept across the sky, landing at the forefront of the skeleton procession, brandishing the Dragon’s Tooth to block the Bone Sovereign’s path.

Lu Heng then jumped off the back of the Mechanical Tiger, landing on the other side, forming a pincer formation with Terres at the front.

Scanning over the Bone Sovereign enveloped in dark mist, his gaze landed on Ke Yiming behind, and Lu Heng mockingly asked, "Running again this time?"

Ke Yiming shrugged, showing a helpless expression, and advised, "I suggest you don’t waste your time here, you should know what kind of existence you’re facing."

As Lu Heng spoke, he vigilantly scanned around, searching for another potential human, simultaneously using eye contact to ask Su Muyu about the other person’s whereabouts.

Su Muyu did not cease reconnoitering, reporting in the communication channel, "I’ve already scanned a radius of three kilometers around us and found no trace of Clyde Saville."

The number of summoners in this Abyss Battlefield is essentially confirmed.

With only eight days left until the Abyss Battlefield ends, if there were other summoners, they should have shown up already.

Therefore, it’s definitive that this Abyss Battlefield has ten summoners in total.

Our four-member team, plus the Creator Organization’s raiding team of five, and one Clyde Saville, making ten people altogether.

Clyde Saville appeared once during the Ice Disaster Rift, and then never again.

This person possesses the class of Spirit Communicator, with special abilities, could very well be the critical variable in this Abyss Battlefield.

Lu Heng originally thought Clyde Saville would be beside the Bone Sovereign, but it appears he isn’t here now.

Not knowing Clyde Saville’s location is always a lurking threat.

Lu Heng turned to Terres, reminding him, "There’s a person named Clyde Saville who hasn’t appeared, I think a notification to Kolos City to heighten vigilance is necessary."

Terres nodded in agreement, replying, "Kolos City is already on maximum alert status, I believe Orelana will handle it well. Our task is to stop this damn evil spirit right here!"
