Chapter 273 - 153: Sudden Attack (3)
'This makes no sense!'
'The loyalty of the Undead is infinite. The Sharp Clawed Burst Bear was also summoned through the system, so how could it be attacking me?'
As the bear's paw descended, Li Ziyu's mind raced. The Skeleton Undead on the surrounding walls had already emerged, wanting to save their City Lord, but their Speed was just a bit too slow.
Li Ziyu could only watch as the paw slammed down. Then, a shadow shot past him from behind. The Dark Skeleton materialized from the darkness, raised both hands, and met the paw head-on.
CREEEAK...
The paw slammed viciously onto the Dark Skeleton's hands. Standing on its hind legs, the Sharp Clawed Burst Bear was over 300cm tall, whereas the Dark Skeleton was about the size of a normal Human. Yet it had effortlessly caught the paw. No matter how frantically the Sharp Clawed Burst Bear pushed, it failed to budge the Dark Skeleton in the slightest.
The Dark Skeleton slowly tilted its head up, staring at the Sharp Clawed Burst Bear, whose Soul Fire had turned red. It bent its arms slightly, then suddenly shoved upward, throwing the bear's paw into the air.
The Sharp Clawed Burst Bear likely never imagined its paw could be caught by a much smaller figure. Not only that, but its opponent's Power was in no way inferior to its own, and its paw was sent flying upward.
It opened its mouth to roar, only to see a figure radiating an aura of Frenzy leap high into the air, wind back a fist, and viciously smash it across the snout.
BOOM—
The Sharp Clawed Burst Bear was sent flying backward as if it had been struck head-on by a sledgehammer.
The Frenzied Skeleton landed, its jaw agape as wisps of white vapor drifted out.
When it came to Speed, he was no match for the Dark Skeleton, who was naturally fast. But in terms of explosive power and combat strength, he backed down from no one. That was why the Dark Skeleton had blocked the Sharp Clawed Burst Bear, allowing him to deliver a vicious punch.
ROAR!
Another Soul Roar erupted. The Sharp Clawed Burst Bear scrambled to its feet, ready to charge again, but two thick Totem Poles slammed down on its back, pinning it to the ground. The two Dark Ox Demons had arrived.
The Skeleton Undead emerged from the walls as well, slowly advancing on the Sharp Clawed Burst Bear. They would destroy anything that dared to harm their City Lord, regardless of whether it was a living creature or a fellow Undead. An Undead's place was to be loyal to the City Lord, not to run rampant in his presence!
The pinned Sharp Clawed Burst Bear struggled defiantly, trying to throw off the two Dark Ox Demons. But the gap in their Power was too great; after struggling for some time, it remained firmly suppressed.
A potent aura erupted from the Frenzied Skeleton, the energy of Frenzy swirling around its body as it walked toward the Sharp Clawed Burst Bear. Curiously, as it advanced, the surrounding Skeleton Undead halted and parted, seemingly reluctant to get anywhere near it.
The Dark Skeleton tilted its head, glanced at Li Ziyu, then at the Frenzied Skeleton. Ultimately, it didn't move, its gaze remaining firmly locked on the Sharp Clawed Burst Bear.
The Frenzied Skeleton threw its arms back and unleashed a Soul Roar at the Sharp Clawed Burst Bear. The roar was so powerful it was almost tangible, making the very air vibrate as ripples spread outward in concentric circles.
As if they understood something, the two Dark Ox Demons silently lifted their Totem Poles, took a few steps back, and stood to either side.
Freed from the weight of the Ox Demons, the Sharp Clawed Burst Bear felt its confidence return. It scrambled to its feet and unleashed a roar of its own.
However, compared to the Frenzied Skeleton's Soul Roar, its own was mere child's play.
The Frenzied Skeleton had no intention of coddling the beast; it simply swung its fist and charged.
'When it comes to Frenzy, who could possibly be crazier than me? I'm famous for it! This pathetic Wild Beast not only dares to attack the City Lord, but it also has the gall to roar in my face? Who gave it such courage!'
Even though the Frenzied Skeleton was only 190cm tall, its ferocity and madness in battle left Li Ziyu stunned. He felt like he was witnessing an Undead version of War God Kratos.
Ever since summoning the Frenzied Skeleton, Li Ziyu had kept it in reserve, just like the Dark Skeleton. This was his first time seeing the Frenzied Skeleton in battle, and his eyes widened in amazement.
