Clinging to the Witcher world to become a god of martial arts

Meanwhile, long before Gunnar gave the orders to Lorne and Penny, the two had already plunged into the horde of skeletons.

What item could have caused Gunnar to become so fanatical? Lorne hesitated for a moment.

He vaguely sensed something unusual in the other person's excited expression, just like when Aislin discovered the undead source species.

A communication device? It seems to be used to contact the Black Sun Tower... Lorne keenly sensed an opportunity; the communication device, submerged by the skeleton horde, is very important to Gunnar!

"Crackling...crackleling..."

Hundreds or even thousands of skeletons were crammed together, and the background noise was sickening, mixed with the crackling of bones shifting, the soft popping of soul fire burning, and the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the hollow skulls like a sob.

The horde of skeletons stretched as far as the eye could see. The skeletons gathered around the Death Knight were not the ordinary ones from before. Some wielded broken bone knives and rusted round shields, while others flickered with soulfire and fired arrows from bone bows.

In the distant shadows, several skeleton mages draped in tattered robes stood silently, holding bone staffs, the air around them slightly distorted by negative energy.

This time, the wave of skeletons they faced was no longer a bunch of idiots who were completely uncooperative and only knew how to charge fearlessly.

More like a well-trained army of skeletons, they moved silently with mechanical steps, slowly pressing in with a destructive will.

Lorne drew his magic sword, his spiritual power spreading out to its limit, reaching the very edge of his perception.

We must seize the communication device while Gunnar is dealing with the Death Knight!

Looking back at the two engaged in fierce combat, it seemed that the Death Knight was at a disadvantage and time was running out.

However, the Heavenly River Qi is exhausted and cannot be naturally restored without meditating and practicing Qigong.

The most powerful killing technique, Overturning the Sky, lacks the support of Qi, so it can only deal with the skeleton horde using the most primitive methods.

【Fist Bone II】- Bonus.

Lorne clenched his left fist and held his sword in his right hand, a faint light flowing across the blade, and the [Blessing Fire] was also activated.

The power of the three layers was instantly unleashed, causing the robes to billow. The powerful punch, carrying a surging wave of energy, crushed the white bones at the forefront like a bulldozer.

The brown-haired boy moved with a graceful, swaying motion, his right knee slightly lowered, his left hand still in a punching stance, his gaze flickering back and forth on the wave of white bones.

Having pinpointed the approximate location, he withdrew his left fist, casually unleashing a sword aura to block the skeletons that surrounded him again, and then briefly levitated using the round shield of the sword-and-shield skeleton.

"Swift, speed!" Penny, who had been unleashing a rain of frost arrows, immediately understood Lorne's intention. She dispersed the pale blue spell patterns she had created and instead formed hand seals, casting two amplification spells on Lorne.

A dark cloud suddenly rose from behind the horde of skeletons, and hundreds of bone arrows pierced the air with a mournful shriek as they swept towards the area Lorne was about to step into.

Penny stared at the sky filled with bone arrows, her pupils revealing utter horror. She wanted to cancel the hand seals and cast a "protection" spell instead, but it was too late to catch up with the rain of arrows.

Finally, he uttered only a short, urgent shout: "Get out of the way!"

With his body suspended in mid-air, Lorne had no room to dodge and was a sitting duck, but the more critical the moment, the calmer his mind became.

"Whoosh!" The magic sword was thrown out at lightning speed.

Simple spell patterns unfolded on Lorne's wrist, even simplifying the process of guiding the hand gestures. In life-or-death situations, people can always unleash potential far beyond what they have ever had before.

The air above distorted violently, and a pale purple energy shockwave burst forth.

"Boom!"

The arrows' kinetic energy was neutralized by the arcane shockwave, causing them to fall helplessly into the air.

A smooth arc swept across the sky, and the swirling air currents drew the arrows toward the center, quickly gathering dozens of bone arrows covering the area above Lorne into one group.

Xuanliu Jin! It is an application based on Tai Chi Chuan, rather than utilizing the Qi of the Milky Way.

A layer of frost spread across the palm that held the bone arrow, and the faint negative energy carried by the arrowhead caused a slight erosion.

"Bang!" The magic sword, its blade ablaze with flames, pierced through the horde of skeletons and slammed into the ground in the area Gunnar had pointed to!

From the gap created by the magic sword, a core emitting a faint light was revealed.

A communication device! Lorne's pupils dilated, and he pushed all the bone arrows gathered in his palm toward the gap.

The combination of softness and strength imbues the seemingly lightly thrown arrow with tremendous force.

The arrows fired by the skeleton archers circled back and landed on the skeletons. The sword-wielding skeletons raised their round shields to block, while the unprotected skeletons could only take the hits head-on.

As he plummeted downwards, Lorne stepped on the heads of several skulls and quickly approached the communication device.

Just as he was about to fall into the gap, he leaped forward, quickly grabbed the communication device, drew his magic sword with his right hand, and flipped himself upwards.

His agile movements made him seem like a shadow roaming the battlefield.

Lorne breathed a sigh of relief upon obtaining the communication device, which meant he now had the means to negotiate with Gunnar.

The strange thing is that after Gunnar escaped the Abyss, instead of hurrying to leave Vol Manor and avoid the battle between Aislin and the Lich, he returned to the Abyss for this communication device.

What is the significance of establishing contact with the Black Tower?

As Lorne escaped the horde of skeletons, he began to ponder deeply.

For a formal wizard, what is it that makes the other party willing to take risks and strive for it?

Almost at the same time the question arose, an answer sprouted from my mind like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

...achievements!

The fundamental purpose of this recruitment is to find a certain important item that may be scattered in the Wall Manor. That item is, of course, the undead source species.

An item that would tempt even a fifth-tier wizard.

The sudden arrival of the seventh seat of the Forest of Fireflies, and his entanglement with the lich in the abyss, will likely result in mutual destruction.

If this information were transmitted back to the Black Sun Tower...

The Black Tower sent wizards to Wall Manor, which could both eliminate a major threat to the opposing forces and bring the Source Seed into their possession. Isn't this a great achievement?

Lorne immediately understood Gunnar's purpose.

Their abnormal behavior stems from self-interest...

At the same time that Lorne obtained the communication device, Gunnar's battle with the Death Knight had already come to an end.

Gunnar's breath struck the Death Knight, whose movements were restricted.

The Death Knight, clad in rune-encrusted, jet-black heavy armor strong enough to withstand blades and axes, let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain under the intense heat.

A huge gap appeared from its left shoulder to its chest. The sturdy plate armor twisted and deformed like a heated wax figure. The uneven edges of the gap and the metal of the armor plates turned a blinding dark red, quickly softening and melting.

The dazzling molten iron flowed from the gap to the ground, making a hissing and burning sound.
