This time, I won't be the devil.

Frey decided to experiment to see if there was any remaining consciousness of Petrarch in the Skeleton King's body, so she asked Didoris to wear a mask and a hood and disguise herself as Laura.

While revealing the characteristics of an elf, Didoris took out her flute and played a farewell song. This song was originally taught to her by Laura, and Petrarch had naturally heard it before.

As the music started, the remaining muscles on the Skeleton King's zombie face began to twitch, and a faint golden light appeared on the back of its neck.

But it quickly regained its composure. On the one hand, this was because after assimilating countless skeletons, Petrarch's influence on it had become very weak, and on the other hand, it understood one thing after comparing it with its memory.

(This guy is not Laura.)

Laura is only 1 meters tall, while the elf in front of her is nearly 5 meters tall.

After realizing this, the Skeleton King regained control of his body, and his movements were only delayed for half a heartbeat.

Although the stagnation time was short, this momentary flaw was fatal enough.

"Now!" With Frey's order, Noelle jumped up, and a hurricane appeared, lifting her up and heading straight for the Skeleton King's head.

Seeing this, the Skeleton King quickly stretched out his left hand to attack Noel in the air, but the hurricane also turned at this time and sent Noel directly onto its head.

The Skeleton King protected its neck with the bone sword at the last moment, but Noelle had already chopped off the back of its head.

The moment the sword blade chopped into the skeleton, flames and electricity flowed upstream along the sword spine. Noelle shouted loudly, releasing the power of the Thunder and Fire Sword completely.

With a muffled sound, the Skeleton King's head exploded.

After successfully blasting the Skeleton King's head apart, Noelle showed an excited expression, but the dawn of victory was fleeting.

The moment the skeleton exploded, a black miasma gushed out from the Skeleton King's body.

This is another skill of the Skeleton King besides [Monster Domination] and [Assimilation] - [Death Miasma].

Death Miasma is a skill that the Skeleton Troll possesses, which can weaken the enemy. After evolving into the Skeleton King, the miasma can directly deprive the vitality of living things it touches.

However, to activate this skill, one needs to use the bones in one's body as fuel, so it cannot be used lightly.

The dark gas surged and expanded. Noelle quickly dodged it, but the skin on her wrist was still briefly exposed to the miasma, and she instantly felt her hands become powerless.

At the critical moment, a strong wind appeared and blew away the miasma in front of Noelle, and then formed a huge wind wall around him, isolating the miasma outside.

"Fifth-level magic - air flow manipulation." This was the magic that Didoris used to dispel the smoke when she captured Jacob.

As the miasma was dispelled, the Skeleton King moved again, reaching upwards with its left hand, forcing Noelle to jump off its shoulder.

Frey caught Noelle and helped her land safely, while the Skeleton King took this opportunity to take out one of the huge skulls embedded in his shoulder and put it back on his head.

The head is not its real weakness.

After the connection was successful, the Skeleton King revealed his trump card.

It retreated to the stone throne at the end of the space. Under the throne, there were piles of bones that had not been absorbed.

The reason why it maintains its body size at 9 meters is not only to increase its own flexibility and defense, but also to accumulate enough bones as spare parts.

After [Assimilation] was activated, the pile of bones on the ground seemed to come alive. They crawled and gathered towards the Skeleton King's broken arm, and eventually turned into a new right arm.

The fight with these three humans just now was just a test.

And now, the Skeleton King is certain that these three people do not have the means to completely destroy its body at once.

Then, before the bones in this space are exhausted, it can continue to repair the damage to its body.

Although the newly grown arm is thinner than the original one, the bones are relatively porous and the strength is reduced, it is enough to kill the enemy.

Looking at the Skeleton King with his arms reattached, Frey realized that the only way to win was to cut off all four limbs of the monster at the same time, completely depriving it of its ability to move.

But now Didoris needed to maintain the wind wall and had no energy left to release additional magic, while Noelle's hands were weak and it was difficult for her to launch an effective attack.

Frey was the only one who could still fight normally.

The situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

In the eyes of the Skeleton King, its victory was inevitable.

The Skeleton King raised his greatsword, intending to end the game.

But only then did it discover that the positions of the three humans in front of it had changed.

The elf and the white-haired woman both retreated to the back, while the most useless black-haired man walked straight towards it.

In his hand, he held a bronze sword.

What can a bronze sword do?

After noticing the Skeleton King's confusion, Frey explained:

"Did you misunderstand something?"

For Frey, the series of attacks just now were just attempts to collect intelligence.

And now, he has figured out the Skeleton King's background.

"The real battle has just begun."

When the Skeleton King reattached his arm just now, Frey was already prepared.

He took Noelle's Thunderfire Sword, unfastened the buckle, and took out Fury from the magic shell.

Frey wasn't trying to let Fury run wild again, but to take advantage of another feature of the sword.

He reached into his waist pouch and pulled out a glass bottle.

The glass bottle contained a bluish-black semi-solid substance.

This is corrosive resin, a byproduct extracted from the magic stone of the Skeleton King's colleague, the elite monster Rotten Giant, during the process of creating the Magic Shell.

After testing, it was found that this resin was extremely corrosive and could easily penetrate even rocks, not to mention bones.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing can only be stored in a glass bottle and cannot be applied to weapons at all.

But the characteristic of the Bronze Sword's Fury is infinite durability.

As cautious as Frey was, he still conducted an experiment first. When he first fired rock bombs at the Skeleton King, he put a little resin on the broken bone arm.

Now, every part of the broken arm that came into contact with the resin has been completely corroded.

After using water magic to apply pine resin to the sword and fix it, Frey obtained a humus sword that could cut bones like mud.

Looking at the corroded broken arm, the Skeleton King realized the power of this bronze sword.

But so what? With the black-haired man's strength, it was difficult for him to even get close to him, let alone cut off all four of its limbs at once.

(A trifle.)

It raised its bone sword and attacked Frey.

Just as the Skeleton King's giant sword was about to hit, Frey took out a handful of flash bombs made from the ink sacs of the blue squid from his sleeves.

In previous encounters, he had determined that the Skeleton King needed to use his eyes to observe the enemy's movements.

As the flashbang exploded, a blue light curtain enveloped Frey, and he activated the grappling hook launcher that had been hidden until now during this battle.

The moment he hooked the Skeleton King's right shoulder with the hook, Frey's figure pierced the blue light curtain like an arrow. Before the sharp sound of the hook's contraction had dissipated, he had completed three turns in mid-air, and the sword wheel on his right arm drew a green arc of light.

The newly attached right arm was not strong to begin with. The moment the sword cut into the bone, the resin applied on it seeped out instantly and corroded the joints.

When the Skeleton King tried to swing his left arm to fight back, Frey had already shot out the grappling hook again, and his whole body drew a sharp line in the air and came right behind the Skeleton King.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Skeleton King wanted to spray out the death miasma again, but Frey had already used his real trump card.

He locked onto the back of the Skeleton King's neck, which he had been carefully protecting, and then quietly activated his skill - [Return].

Through the battle just now, he has basically confirmed that Petrarch's body is in the thick back neck of the Skeleton King.

As a golden light flashed, Petrarch's body disappeared from the back of the Skeleton King's neck.

The effect of the [Golden Rule] also disappeared.

Relying on the accumulation of the past 30 years, the loss of the Golden Rule is not fatal to the Skeleton King, but its combat effectiveness has deteriorated significantly, and the body needs time to adapt to the new state.

But Frey didn't give it time. He cut open the hollow back of the neck and then stabbed the Shadow Blade into it.

Under the effect of Shadow Blade, the Skeleton King's corrosion resistance was further reduced, and its original dense bones were like soft tofu in front of Frey.

Frey's body spun like a top and fell down. The sword blade cut off the Skeleton King's left ankle like a saw, and then his right ankle.

After completing the pedicure, the Skeleton King lost his support and fell to the ground with a loud noise.

Frey's movements did not stop. The steel cable shot towards the ceiling drew a deadly arc in the air, and he came to the top of the Skeleton King's head again.

At this time, the Skeleton King finally regained the ability to move, and it also grasped Frey's movement pattern, so it used its only remaining hand to grab the steel wire in the air.

But at this moment, Frey simply abandoned the grappling hook and twisted his body in mid-air relying solely on the strength of his waist and abdomen. The sword blade pierced through the cervical vertebrae like lightning, and the crisp sound of broken bones was clearly audible.

The Skeleton King's newly attached head was chopped off, and Frey took the opportunity to cut off the joint of its left shoulder, completely reducing it to a human stick with only its abdomen left.

After completing this series of actions, Frey fell on the Skeleton King's back. His face was covered with sweat, and his fingers were blue and white from excessive gripping of the sword.

This series of actions paid tribute to the Captain's monkey-chopping moves. For Frey now, it was an extraordinary performance. He was able to complete it successfully thanks to the various buffs on his body.

After neutralizing the Skeleton King, Frey was not careless at all. He knew very well that in order to completely kill this monster, he had to destroy the magic stone in its abdomen.

At this moment, Frey, standing on the back of the Skeleton King, relied on the effect of the skill [Backstab] to find the location of the magic stone.

He raised his rage again and cut open the Skeleton King's hard bone armor, revealing the huge skeleton that made up its torso.

But just as Frey was about to destroy the magic stone, he was stunned by the scene before him.

The Skeleton King Magic Stone is surrounded by a dense shell, and on top of that shell are densely inlaid with more than a dozen silver monsters.

"Hani~ho~, honey~ho~, honey~ho~..."

【Silver Honey, Rank Three】

Silver Honey is the evolved form of Clay Honey. Their magic immunity is also stronger and they are immune to magic below the fifth level.

In the second level, Silver Honey is an extremely rare monster. Frey has never encountered one yet, but there are 18 of them in front of him.

It seems Frey is not the only one who thought of using Honey as a shield.

At the same time, the skeleton of the Skeleton King quickly disintegrated as if it had melted, and countless death miasma spewed out. Frey had no choice but to retreat back to Didoris.

The Skeleton King continued to burn all the bones in his body, and the death miasma gushed out from every bone gap, instantly filling the entire space like a tsunami.

Although Tidoris was able to temporarily resist the miasma by using air flow manipulation, they were now unable to get close to the Skeleton King's body which was constantly emitting spitting gas.

In the face of such a violent jet, Didoris could only create a small safe zone.

What's worse, the miasma has spread upwards along the elevator.
