Chapter 398 The Giant Tower
The temperature of the room was pretty high by now and it felt like things would start melting.
Luca gritted his teeth and stopped channeling mana. He knew there was no use in wasting his mana trying to punch the skeleton king.
Instead, he looked towards Shin who nodded his head.
Shin quickly stood up and ran tards the entrance of the castle. Of course, the skeleton knights wouldn\'t let him.
But shin could now use his skills. He quickly used [Aero slash] which passed right through a skeleton knight slicing him in half. But suddenly a blue aura appeared almost instantly joining the soldier back to how he was.
Shin looked at the skeleton soldiers and smiled. He quickly lifted his arm and channeled all the mana to the tip of his index finger.
A small colorful orb was seen which contained a terrifying amount of power. Shin continued to compress it as he looked at the skeleton knights who were already in front of him.
-Boom!
A giant explosion occurred housing the skeleton soldiers away and breaking their bones. But just like the last time they healed instantly.
But before they could do anything else shin dashed towards the exit.
And near the exit... Was a high-ranking skeleton knight. And this knight seemed stronger than the knight\'s shin faced before.
The knight was tall twice the size of shin, and imposing, with his bones clattering loudly as he moved. But shin dashed towards him ready to face the monster.
The knight wasted no time in launching his attack. He conjured a cage made of bones, which trapped Shin inside. But Shin was not one to be caged so easily. He used his Copy skill to replicate the Bone Cage and break free.
As soon as he was free, the soldier fired Bone Arrows at Shin. Shin used his All Seeing Eyes to dodge the arrows effortlessly. He then quickly entered his flame emperor mode and unleashed his Flame Wave attack, which engulfed the soldier in flames.
However, the soldier remained unscathed due to his undead skill, which allowed him to recover from any damage almost instantly.
The knight then charged at Shin with his Supreme Strength, his bones clattering loudly with every step. Shin used his Speed Run to dodge the attack, but he knew he couldn\'t rely on speed alone.
He transformed into his dragon form. His eyes and hair quickly turned radiant gold, and scales appeared in his arms followed by the long silver dragon nails that appeared on his fingertips
"Rrrrrrooooaoaaaarrrerre!" Shin\'s roar sent a shockwave through the ground. The soldier stumbled, allowing Shin to strike with Dragon\'s Aura, a concentrated beam of energy that hit the soldier square in the chest.
The soldier was thrown back, but he quickly got up, ready for more.
Shin realized that he had to end this quickly. He quickly entered his death for and used dark manipulation, to create an aura of darkness around the knight, which weakened him considerably.
Shin then used his Blood Crunch attack, which drained the knight\'s life force and dealt a fatal blow.
The knight fell to the ground, his bones clattering loudly as they detached from each other. But even as the bones fell apart, they began to reattach themselves, thanks to the soldier\'s Undead skill. Shin knew that he had to finish the job quickly. He used his Heal skill to restore his own health and then summoned Aura Domain, a powerful attack that created a field of energy around him.
The field enveloped the knight, preventing him from moving. Shin then used his Blood Crunch again, this time with more intensity.
Blood-red fangs appeared In shins out as he bit the knight. The attack drained the last of the soldier\'s life force, and the knight crumbled into a pile of bones.
Shin then quickly deactivated death mode and proceeded to look outside.
Bang!
Clash! Clash!
And he saw the sight of an exciting battle. Hundreds of skeleton knights appeared fighting with the prisoners. Shin looked at the people and then looks to his right.
"So there\'s supposed to be three great treasures." Luca had informed him that there were 3 very strong treasures and multiple weaker treasures, in the giant that was to the right of the castle.
Looking at the tower shin dashed towards it to collect the objects. But many skeleton soldiers and knights appeared in front of him.
Shin faced the horde of skeletal knights with determination in his eyes. He knew that their lack of any particular power didn\'t mean they would be easy to defeat, especially with their undead skill that made them almost invincible. But Shin had faced difficult opponents before and emerged victorious, and he was confident he could do it again.
He took a deep breath and activated his Aura Domain, feeling the energy surrounding him surge as he took on his dragon form.
Shin\'s transformation to his dragon form was a sight to behold. His hair and eyes turned radiant gold, and dragon scales covered his arms while claws sprouted from his fingertips. With a deep breath, he took to the air, flapping his mighty wings to gain altitude.
The skeleton knights seemed to be unfazed by Shin\'s transformation, continuing to charge at him with their weapons raised. But as they approached, Shin unleashed a powerful roar, sending shockwaves that knocked the knights off their feet.
With a quick turn, Shin swooped down, slicing through the skeletons with his razor-sharp claws. But as he took down one, it quickly regenerated the skeleton due to its undead skill preventing them from dying unless Shin used his blood crunch ability.
Realizing this, Shin began to focus his energy, feeling the blood-red fangs in his mouth start to emerge. As the skeleton came near him it was attacked by a devastating bite. Its life force was immediately absorbed by shin turning into dust.
Shin then looked toward the other skeleton knights as he dashed toward them. Even though he killed one skeleton successfully it didn\'t bring any fear in the other skeleton knights.
Instead, they too dashed towards him excitedly.
