Chapter 82: Chapter 35 Thorny Bone Snake, Special Animated Object – Praying Light Sword

In the Mushroom House, Auson, who was taking care of his beloved mushrooms, suddenly disappeared from inside the house and then reappeared outside the small cabin, looking in the direction from which sounds were coming.

In the second section of the carriage, the Lotus Leaf Frog, spewing water from its mouth and energetically cleaning the floor, also stopped and looked into the distance.

In front of the carriage, the Wind Winged Horse let out a restless neigh.

Behind the house, perched on a water fir tree and grooming its feathers, the Night Helmeted Owl paused in its movements.

Without a word, Freyja rushed out of the bedroom, grabbed her equipment, and leaped down from the carriage as if flying.

“Betty, you all stay in the Secret Realm! Auson, open the Secret Realm for me!”

Outside, Freyja’s voice was heard.

At that moment, she completely shed her gentle, serene, and somewhat shy demeanor, instantly transforming back into the form of an Elite Ranger. Every fine wrinkle between her brows emanated a heroic and murderous aura.

Seeing Freyja like this, nobody would doubt that she was a battle-hardened elite warrior!

In front of the Mushroom House, Auson hesitated.

Previously, Char had instructed him not to “open the door” for Freyja.

But considering Char’s attitude towards Freyja over the past few days, as well as his and Betty’s natural closeness to her, Auson hesitated for a moment before he began to open the “door” for Freyja.

The green wall opened, and Freyja’s figure flashed past.

“Just stay in the Secret Realm, and don’t come out no matter what!”

Outside, Freyja’s concerned voice was heard again.

…

The scenery around her quickly reversed as Freyja leveraged her advantages as a Wood Elf Ranger, moving briskly through the forest.

From her earliest memories to now, Freyja had rarely felt so tense.

Even when she had encountered the attack of the Shark Lizard Beast before, her heart had never been as troubled and anxious as it was now: if something happened to Char, how could she repay him?

…

[Thorny Bone Snake]

[Skills]: White Bone Thorns Dance (4th Circle), Bone Giant Shield (3rd Circle), Spear of the Dead Bone (3rd Circle), Bone Regeneration (3rd Circle)

[Challenge Level]: 8

[Introduction]: One of the new rulers of the Land of Undead, a giant python that was awakened after death became a powerful Undead. The Thorny Bone Snake possesses the ability to manipulate white bones, continuously generating fearsome bones as if inexhaustibly, making it one of the most powerful undead in the Land of Undead. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

When Char dashed close enough, the system panel for the White Bone Giant Python finally popped up.

Looking at the Thorny Bone Snake’s panel, although Char’s expression was still anxious and his face was stern, deep inside he heaved a sigh of relief.

Because the Challenge Level of the Thorny Bone Snake indeed did not reach Level 9, and from the panel, its overall strength was indeed somewhat less than that of the Thunder Night Dragon.

After all, the Thunder Night Dragon had two 4th Circle Skills, while this Thorny Bone Snake only had one.

In his mad dash, Char bent the Fierce Feather Bow and fired an arrow; the arrowfeather blazed, a firebird ascended, and the searing arrowfeather exploded, engulfing several Undead.

However, Char didn’t dare to get too close; if he was too close and the Thorny Bone Snake launched an attack, the Thunder Night Dragon might not be able to stop it in time, and he might not be able to dodge in time either.

Therefore, his arrow feather could only strike the outermost Undead.

Likewise, the Clover Mantis, Floral Blue Leopard, and the Frost Crystal White Deer also almost simultaneously launched their attacks.

Leaf Blade, Ice Frost, Green Flames, Red Fire…

Except for the Star Worm, which was flying slowly and hadn’t caught up, and thus didn’t attack due to insufficient range, all other Demon Beasts launched their attacks.

Though significantly outnumbered, Char’s side had a high average level, and combined, their combat strength was quite considerable.

The sudden attack immediately caused substantial casualties among the Undead who were continuously assaulting the Thunder Night Dragon, but it also attracted a lot of attention from the Undead.

Many of the Undead turned around and launched an attack towards Char and his team, and as Char kept dashing deeper, his Natural Seal shone like a bright lamp in the night, attracting the attention of many Undead on the road.

These Undead were also converging towards them, and some had already reached Char.

In the blink of an eye, Char, along with the Clover Mantis, Floral Blue Leopard, and other Magic Pets, found themselves surrounded and under increased pressure.

Just then, a gleam of Morning Light suddenly shone from the side.

It was clearly daytime, but the dawn-like light that shone from the side forcefully created a sensation of dawn breaking through the darkness.

The dazzling Morning Light shone on the bodies of the Undead, who immediately let out agonizing shrieks. Wisps of black smoke emerged from their surfaces and were quickly purified by the Morning Light.

A sword light, like a beam of morning sunlight, entered the field and quickly circled around Char and his companions. Everywhere it passed, no Undead could withstand a single strike, and all were pierced through!

After one round, the pressure on Char and his companions had drastically decreased.

This sword light, which seemed to have strayed from a world of immortals, did not stop after one round but continued to slaughter the Undead, behaving as if it wouldn’t stop until all the Undead were exterminated.

‘What is this—?’

Char’s gaze followed the light of the sword, and soon, system information appeared from above the sword light.

[Praying Light Sword (Animate Object)]

[Skills]: Dawn Light (Level 4), Light Sword (Level 3), Sharp (Level 3), High-speed Flight (Level 3)

[Challenge Level]: 6

[Introduction]: Animate objects are made with powerful magic and are used to execute their creator’s commands. In the absence of new commands, they will as much as possible perfect the last command received. A typical Sky Sword has only a Challenge Level of 1, but this is a special Sky Sword, crafted using mighty divine arts, imbued with the power of morning light. And the last command it received was—kill all undead.

Over the years, the Praying Light Sword had been doing its utmost to eradicate the undead, day after day, year after year…

If you could resolve this undead crisis, then perhaps, you might have a chance to tame the Praying Light Sword.

Surprise!

Char hadn’t expected to find such a powerful friendly unit hidden in this Land of Undead.

Just from the skills alone, the Praying Light Sword was no less impressive than the Thorny Bone Snake—both had one Level 4 skill and three Level 3 skills, who was more noble?

The unexpected appearance of the Praying Light Sword greatly reduced Char’s pressure, and at this moment, the Thunder Night Dragon also made its move.

It was smart enough to see that Char and the others were rushing over to help it, and immediately flew towards them while at the same time, activating the Thunder Annihilation Cannon again, spraying it towards the Thorny Bone Snake.

In the exploding blue-purple thunder light, countless white bones trying to block the Thorny Bone Snake were blown away, but this move did not cause much damage to the Thorny Bone Snake.

Soon the Thorny Bone Snake poked its head out from the canopy again, and the damaged bones were quickly regenerating, undergoing repairs.

However, the Thunder Night Dragon was not trying to inflict heavy damage on the Thorny Bone Snake, its aim was merely to blast the Thorny Bone Snake away a distance, to keep Char and the others safer.

After blasting the Thorny Bone Snake away, the Thunder Night Dragon, while flapping its dragon wings, used the recoil to quickly close the distance between itself and Char’s group.

Then, with a fierce flap of its dragon wings and amid a painful dragon moan, it sent the bone spears on its wings flying.

The bone spear traced a streak in the air, lightning-fast, and pierced a deer-shaped undead, nailing it firmly to the ground.

Char was too familiar with the purpose of the Thunder Night Dragon’s actions, so as soon as the Thunder Night Dragon flew within casting range, the Clover Mantis launched the skill it had been brewing.

A burst of emerald light soared into the sky, perfectly entering the Thunder Night Dragon’s wound, and clovers appeared on the bloody wound, quickly covering it.

By the time the clovers disappeared, the wound on the Thunder Night Dragon had visibly shrunk significantly.

“Aww—”

The Thunder Night Dragon let out a satisfying dragon moan.

The electric light at its tail suddenly burst into flashing, and then with a fierce downward lash, the next second, a blue-purple net of electric light fell to the ground, entangling a large group of undead that had turned around to attack Char, the Clover Mantis, and the others.

The blue-purple electric light penetrated the forest, continuously flickering, and when the electric net disappeared, the entangled undead were almost completely dead or injured.

Suddenly, a small object flew out of the mouth of the Thunder Night Dragon.

Such a small object was hardly noticeable in such a chaotic battlefield, but Char had been prepared, and thus he caught it swiftly as it flew over.

In an instant, a chilling sensation pierced straight to his heart.

Char paid no mind to the Thunder Night Dragon’s saliva covering it, grabbed the Undead Bone Flute in his mouth, and then grabbed the Star Worm that had been closely following him and tucked it into his clothes.

The next second, he flipped onto the deer, mounting the Frost Crystal White Deer.

“Retreat!”

If it had been before, Char might not have trusted his fate to the Frost Crystal White Deer, in case it suddenly turned hostile.

But just now, the Frost Crystal White Deer had fully proven itself:

It had willingly followed them up, what more could this prove?

In Char’s heart, he had already recognized the other party, and now the Frost Crystal White Deer was only lacking a bath in Prayer Light to become a Magic Pet.

The speed of the Frost Crystal White Deer was naturally much faster than Char’s; lifting its front legs and gently pushing off with its back legs, it had already turned into an elegant white shadow that dashed out.

The Clover Mantis followed closely behind, Emerald Light Blade fully extended, like an elegant yet deadly swordsman blocking the attacks coming from behind.

The Floral Blue Leopard did similarly, elegantly sprinting while occasionally launching attacks behind.

Green Flames surrounded the forest, blocking the undead.

The Clover Mantis and the Floral Blue Leopard were strong enough to keep up with the Frost Crystal White Deer’s speed while launching attacks, but the Lantern Firefly could not.

It had to fly at full speed just to keep up with the Frost Crystal White Deer.

If the Lantern Firefly couldn’t keep up, the Star Worm was even less capable.

That’s why Char had grabbed it and tucked it into his clothes just now, otherwise, carrying it along and letting it fly on its own would have surely left the Star Worm falling into the encirclement of the undead by now.

A gloomy, strange Undead Overture played, and a faint blue ring of Soul Fire appeared under the feet of the Frost Crystal White Deer, quickly spreading in all directions and vanished from sight in the blink of an eye.
