Su Mu was staring at the Skeleton Commander.
That Skeleton Commander was also staring at Su Mu.
While neither leader had given the order to attack, the two Skeleton legions—drastically different in both quantity and quality—stood off against each other across several hundred meters.
Su Mu observed the Skeleton Commander to estimate its approximate Four Attributes and search for a breakthrough point—calculating from which direction he could charge into the Sea of Skeletons and hunt down the Skeleton Commander when the battle began.
The Skeleton Commander observed Su Mu because, with its still-immature intelligence, it couldn't comprehend why a seemingly ordinary yet strange-looking Elite Skeleton had managed to wipe out eight Bone Legions in such a short time.
As Undead, there were also advantages to being Undead.
Since it couldn't figure it out, the Skeleton Commander simply stopped thinking.
Once its Bone Legion had approached to within several hundred meters of the enemy, the Skeleton Commander raised its curved blade high—
And in the next moment—
The blade came down!
The Sea of Skeletons, numbering more than four thousand, simultaneously began their charge—rushing forward!
"It's starting..."
At the same time the Bone Legion surged forward, Su Mu also gave the order to his Skeleton Minions to form up in ranks and brace for the Bone Legion's assault.
In terms of both quantity and quality, Su Mu's Bone Legion couldn't compare to the one under the Skeleton Commander.
But that wasn't their mission.
Their task wasn't to win this war!
They only needed to endure the Bone Legion's assault, draw its attention, and hold it back long enough.
That much—
These over a thousand Skeletons handpicked by Su Mu were fully capable of doing.
Skeleton Guards formed the outermost layer to take the first impact. Inside them, Skeleton Warriors led Skeleton Soldiers in forming the second line of defense.
And at the innermost section were Su Mu's gathered Skeleton Mages and Skeleton Archers.
Time ticked by.
The Bone Legion drew closer and closer.
When the distance between the two armies shrank to just over a hundred meters, Su Mu gave the order—the dozen or so Skeleton Guards at the outermost edge simultaneously drove the lower ends of their bone tower shields into the ground and crouched low, bracing for impact.
Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Soldiers stood at the ready.
Skeleton Archers and Skeleton Mages, under Su Mu's command, began bombarding the approaching Sea of Skeletons with volleys of arrows and a dozen Netherfire Balls from over a hundred meters away!
This wasn't random fire.
Under Su Mu's direction, his limited number of Skeleton Archers and Mages were divided into three squads. Each squad focused fire on a specific target—namely, the Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Battle Generals among the Sea of Skeletons!
The combination of Skeleton Archers and Mages—
Almost every coordinated volley would shatter a Skeleton Warrior into charred, blackened bones. If all three squads focused fire together, even an Elite Tier Skeleton Battle General could be heavily injured in seconds.
Volley after volley—
By the time the Sea of Skeletons had crossed the hundred meters and were just about to clash with Su Mu's Bone Legion, over ten Skeleton Warriors and three Skeleton Battle Generals had already fallen to the focused bombardment!
Then—
Boom!
The two Bone Legions collided!
"Rift Slash!"
"Rift Slash!"
At that moment, Su Mu and his Elite Skeleton Swordsman Minion exploded into action. Two radiant slashes tore through the Sea of Skeletons, instantly cutting down swathes of Skeleton Soldiers and carving out a small opening in the battlefield.
Then—
Leaving the Elite Skeleton Swordsman to continue using its skills to support his Bone Legion, Su Mu leapt forward—his immense Strength and Agility bursting forth!
A deep footprint was left in the ground as Su Mu launched himself into the air, crossing more than ten meters in a single bound and diving straight into the Sea of Skeletons!
Whirlwind Slash!
Boom!
Bone Falling Moon Blade slashed down!
The gleaming blade swept through the air, cleaving through everything within a two-meter radius. Su Mu once again sprang into the air, diving deeper toward the center of the Sea of Skeletons.
Once.
Twice.
Three times!
With each leap, Su Mu advanced over ten meters.
With each leap, he drew closer to the Skeleton Commander at the center of the Sea of Skeletons!
Again and again—
By the seventh time he landed in the sea of enemies, Su Mu was only about ten meters away from the Skeleton Commander! Just one more leap would get him there!
The Skeleton Commander wasn't stupid.
Because of Su Mu's tier, it hadn't taken him seriously. And with its limited intelligence, it hadn't developed emotions like underestimation.
But when Su Mu landed the seventh time, an invisible soulwave rippled out from the Skeleton Commander, prompting all nearby Skeleton Mages to turn and aim their staffs at Su Mu!
Dozens of Skeleton Mages—
And among them, several terrifying Mages that had reached Elite Tier!
If it were only Skeleton Mages, Su Mu could still rely on his high Constitution and Defense to withstand the attacks. But those terrifying Mages... spellcasters of that tier could deal devastating damage to him.
Charge—or retreat?
The thought flashed through Su Mu's mind for only a second.
As the thick aura of death began to gather in the Mages' bone staves and azure Netherfire Balls started forming, Su Mu dashed at lightning speed toward a Skeleton Battle General.
One slash!
His 134 Strength burst forth, and the Skeleton Battle General was decapitated before it could react.
Immediately afterward—
Su Mu grabbed the Battle General's lifeless body and used it as a shield in front of him. Then he leapt once again—his eighth leap into the air!
At the same time—
His only two skills... both activated at once!
"Rift Slash!"
"Hurricane Slash!"
