[Monster Chronicles? Skeletons in the Underworld]: When the flesh of the deceased rots with the end of life, only the bones can exist for a long time. The underworld spreads the death energy of the deceased, causing the skeletons to rise from the ground again, and the cursed life will lose everything in life.
The only thing he has is an infinite desire for life and fresh flesh and blood.
As we got deeper and deeper into the Asia Canyon, the surrounding smoke became noticeably thicker, and soon the team was attacked again.
"Raise your shield and cover!"
Kratos's senses seemed to be greatly improved in the thick fog that blocked his vision. When the sense of crisis suddenly emerged in his heart, he immediately shouted loudly.
Almost as soon as Kratos' warning was issued, Kohler's voice came from ahead.
"They are skeleton archers, about fifty in number!"
The sound of tight bowstrings also sounded from the depths of the thick fog, and along with the roar of the sky, broken arrows suddenly appeared from the thick fog.
These guards are all experienced battlefield veterans. After hearing Kratos's warning, they immediately raised their shields without hesitation, and skillfully relied on each other to surround each other, firmly protecting their companions' backs.
Countless arrows swarmed in like locusts, hitting the wooden shield with a series of muffled popping sounds, but soon the shield array formed in a circle was filled with arrows.
However, the rain of arrows did not last long. After about three rounds of shooting, it slowly stopped, followed by the sound of cracking bones rubbing against each other.
"Gods above... a large number of skeleton soldiers armed with weapons." Before everyone could take a breath, Kohler's exclamation sounded again.
"war!"
Kratos drew out the bronze sword from his waist and rushed into the fog first. He didn't care about the hazy smoke in front of him, and suddenly swung out the bronze sword in his hand. After being overwhelmed by the smoke, Kratos immediately heard the sound of slashing the object.
Real feeling.
Kratos suddenly stretched his hand into the thick fog, and then pulled hard, and a strange skull crack appeared in his sight through the thick fog.
"this is……"
Kratos couldn't help being shocked when he saw the skeleton in his hand, and then crushed the skull's head into pieces with force. The headless body twisted and fell, and the damaged leather armor and weapons fell to the ground with a dull collision.
Voice.
Different from those encountered before, the skeleton that appeared now was covered in worn leather armor, and the weapons in its hands were also commonly used by human soldiers.
"These skeletons are human soldiers who were killed in the Asia Canyon. After death, their bodies were corroded by evil spirits and finally transformed into resurrected skeletons."
After seeing the faces of these skeleton soldiers, a series of information naturally poured out of Kratos' mind.
At this time, the tattoo on Kratos' body became more red as if stained with blood. Stimulated by the strange atmosphere in the Asia Canyon, the power hidden in the cursed tattoo seemed to slowly begin to activate.
"Follow me and fight out!"
Kratos roared, raised his sword and dropped it. Two skeleton soldiers in a row were chopped into pieces. At the same time, he punched out the skeleton soldiers who suddenly rushed out of the thick fog and knocked them away. A series of sound came from the direction of the flight.
The sound of crashing and smashing.
Kratos is like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep. All the skeleton soldiers are defeated at the first contact with him, and there is no single enemy at all.
However, the number of skeleton soldiers around them did not decrease at all, and the pressure on the guards became increasingly greater. Every step forward required a huge amount of energy, and the ground under their feet was covered with a thick layer of broken bones.
At this time, Kohler was also forced to retreat to the team by a large wave of skeleton soldiers besieging him. He was not good at fighting and could only be protected in a defensive circle with the third prince and use bows and arrows to resist the enemy.
Kratos guessed in his mind that all the corpses of the soldiers who died in the last time they guarded the Crack of Emi had been resurrected, and they kept gathering because they smelled the scent of their living people.
"Shrink the defensive circle, and the four people in the defensive circle draw their bows and shoot arrows in four directions."
After using his body to smash a skeleton soldier blocking the way, Kratos suddenly shouted loudly. The guards he commanded immediately took action, and the slightly loose defense circle of twenty-three people gathered together immediately became compact.
, the four guards drew out the arrows from the arrow pots behind them, and shot them high into the sky in four directions: front, back, left, and right.
Kratos' ears kept beating, and he used his body to open the way for the team in front. When the fourth round of arrows was shot, his body suddenly shook, and the phantom of the Erymanthus wild boar suddenly appeared from behind him.
"Roar!"
The beast-like roar spread out, blowing away some of the surrounding dense fog.
Kratos' arm suddenly swept forward, smashing all the surrounding skeleton soldiers into pieces with one blow, and then rushed towards the right direction. Wherever his body passed, there was a torrential rain of bones, and countless skeletons were directly hit by him.
It was smashed into pieces and turned into pale bone fragments flying everywhere.
No need to be reminded at all, the slave guards immediately moved in the direction of the sound, with Kratos leading the way. They maintained their formation while advancing quickly. It didn't take long for a huge black shadow to emerge from the thick fog.
boom!
There was a sudden loud noise in the black shadow. It was Kratos' body that hit the mountain wall. With the support of 50 horsepower, the strong body like a beast directly hit a huge rock on the rocky mountain wall.
Potholes.
Kohler's eyes lit up after seeing the pit, and he immediately took the lead in going in without waiting for Kratos to say anything. The third prince, Arthur Evans, followed closely after seeing this, and then all the guards stood with their backs against the pit and surrounded it with shields.
It became an airtight defensive formation.
"Alternate defense, Luke, Arcadia, Leon... the five of you will form the first line of defense first. When your strength is exhausted to 50%, you will be replaced. Luca, I will appoint you as the captain, responsible for commanding the escort operations."
After hearing Kratos' order, everyone immediately took action, and Luka also took action immediately after being appointed captain. As a veteran in war, he commanded more than 20 soldiers without any pressure at all.
Arthur Evans's expression immediately changed when he saw the incoming guards, but he also knew that he had to give up his position if he wanted to survive, so he hurriedly urged Pandora to hide inside, and at the same time used his own
His body resisted the incoming guards, and in the end he turned his back to the exit, holding on to the rock wall with both hands, trying his best to maintain a safe distance between his body and Pandora.
The guard who didn't know why couldn't help being surprised when he saw the strange behavior of the third prince of Mycenae. He knew that the third prince was really a good brother with loyalty and he knew that a brother's wife should not be bullied.
Kratos stood like a rock in front of the pothole. All the incoming skeleton soldiers would be smashed into pieces when they collided with him. It didn't take long for a layer of crushed white bones to accumulate under his feet.
Seeing this, Kratos' feet suddenly exerted force, and his whole body slammed backwards, pushing all the surrounding bones into the pit. It didn't take long for half a man's bones to pile up at the entrance of the pit. Under the cover of the guard pressure, he could no longer A big loss, but he was tightly surrounded by a sea of skeletons.
Kratos is like a fighting machine, and every part of his body can become a deadly weapon.
Facing the tide of bones, Kratos's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and his whole body suddenly hit him. The sharp nails and rusty weapons fell on his naked body and even made a sound like metal collision. There was a loud noise, and under his impact, dozens of skeletons were instantly shattered into shattered bones.
As the battle continued, Kratos not only did not feel any fatigue, but the power in his body became more and more abundant, and the muscles all over his body were tense and bulging, almost as if they were exploding under his skin.
"Kill! As long as I kill all the monsters here, I will have the power of a hundred enemies. All great princes will surrender to my power!"
Kratos roared angrily, and his muscles vibrated hundreds of times in one breath. He punched the ground, and the violent force vibrated. The surrounding skeletons were directly knocked out, and they were shattered into broken bones in the air. , and finally fell to the ground and became a dense white debris.
"Power, I want more power!"
The beast soul of the gray mountain bear emerged from behind Kratos, its fangs opened its bloody mouth wide, and countless scarlet red lights were sucked out from the bones on the ground.
Nourished by the red soul, the gray mountain bear's originally lifelike form became more lifelike, almost resurrected from its long-ago death.
After receiving the feedback from the power of the beast soul, Kratos felt as if he had taken a stimulant, and the cells in his body were constantly jumping. So far, he had defeated at least a thousand skeletons, and the power in his body had increased by dozens of horsepower.
Just when Kratos was immersed in the pleasure of gaining power, a sudden howl woke him up.
Kratos took a deep breath suddenly like a whale, and the surrounding white mist poured into his mouth like a tide, and the mist that obscured his vision became thinner in an instant.
"Two-headed dog? How could it appear here!"
Although it was just a blurry image, Kratos immediately recognized the identity of the monster. It was actually a two-headed dog from the underworld.
Almost when Kratos and others left Tyrian City and headed for the Asia Canyon, in a magnificent hall in the Mycenaean Palace, filled with carvings of countless birds, a beautiful girl wearing a luxurious feather robe had a cold expression. Sitting gracefully on the throne.
Aphro held a gray ball slightly larger than her thumb on her slender white fingers. Light and shadow rolled inside, and from time to time she heard cries, as if there was a condor soaring inside.
"Thorgas, this trash, the king who rules the sky, was actually desecrated by the reptiles on the ground, and his dirty soul was given to the condor to be devoured. It is simply a great gift."
"Your Highness the Princess, the dignity of the sky will not be allowed to be desecrated. Please let Pegasus bring back that stupid Spartan's head and place it under the statue of Lord Phoenix." (To be continued)
