Inside the library.
A figure was studying something at the stone table.
The figure was extremely thin, completely shrouded in a tattered hooded robe.
Only when the breeze blew in through the window, lifting the robe slightly, could one catch a glimpse of what lay beneath.
Bare bones!
It was a Skeleton.
More precisely, a Warrior Tier Skeleton who had not only gained a degree of intelligence but had also awakened traces of memories from its previous life—a Dark Mage.
Resources in the Bone Burial Ground were scarce.
Other than the abundant bones and omnipresent death aura, there was practically nothing else.
The so-called research of this Dark Mage was nothing more than a habitual behavior from its past life, perhaps a futile attempt to awaken more memories through repetition.
Crack!
A crisp footstep echoed through the library.
The Dark Mage abandoned its meaningless research, tossing aside the Skullhead on the table, its Soul Flame still flickering within, and turned around.
Perhaps...
In the Dark Mage's perception, no one could or would dare trespass into the Death Castle.
So the sound of footsteps in the library likely meant that its brutal king was summoning it again.
However—
As it turned around, what awaited it was not the usual Skeleton Warden, but a streak of pitch-black light!
Death Cleave!
The black glow vanished.
With a single finishing move, the Dark Mage was instantly slain. Su Mu crouched down out of habit and absorbed the remains left behind by the Skeleton Warrior.
"You have killed 'Dark Mage.'"
"You have gained 6,500 Experience Points."
"You absorbed the essence of the bones. Your body has become stronger."
"Your Spirit increased by 25 points."
"You have obtained the Class Advancement Info for 'Warrior Class Template – Dark Mage.'"
Skeleton spellcasters were truly the epitome of frailty. After absorbing the essence of its bones, Su Mu's Spirit Attribute had increased significantly, while the other three attributes didn't grow at all!
However...
Comparatively, Su Mu preferred this kind of growth.
Among the Skeleton Clan, the Spirit Attribute was the hardest to develop.
His hunt for the Dark Mage was precisely to fuse its Class Template into his Warrior Class, so that during his next advancement, he could greatly improve the growth rate of his Spirit Attribute.
Su Mu was more than satisfied with this result.
The third Warrior Class Template was now in hand.
…
…
"Your minion 'Skeleton Battle General' has died."
"Your minion 'Skeleton Mage' has died."
"Your minion 'Terror Mage' has died."
"Your minion..."
On the attributes panel, a stream of messages continued to refresh, nonstop.
It meant that his Bone Legion was still under siege.
Switching vision.
When Su Mu observed the surroundings through one of the Skeletons in the Bone Legion, the massive and terrifying figure of the Skeleton King had already vanished from the battlefield.
In its place were the three Bone Legions continuing to slaughter Su Mu's Skeleton Minions!
Su Mu couldn't tell whether the Skeleton King had just left or had already departed right after he killed the Bone Sniper.
He calculated the time.
Roughly three minutes had passed since killing the Bone Sniper.
If the Skeleton King had left the battlefield immediately after that and was heading toward the Death Castle... conservatively, Su Mu had about two minutes left to hunt the fourth Skeleton Warrior and acquire his fourth Warrior Class Template!
Two minutes.
One Skeleton Warrior.
Plenty of time!
Because when infiltrating the castle, Su Mu had already mapped out his route.
The fourth Skeleton Warrior he aimed to hunt... was right beneath this library!
The entire Death Castle had a three-tiered structure.
The front courtyard, enclosed by walls and arrow towers, originally served as a training ground; the central area was the main castle building, consisting of lower-level servant quarters, mid-level warrior rest areas, and upper-level halls and the lord's bedroom.
At the back of the castle was the prison!
According to the habits of NPC nobles in Second World, castle prisons were typically built underground. The prison entrance was at the rear of the castle.
The main castle and the rear walls formed a relatively enclosed space, meaning any noise within wouldn't easily draw attention.
The fourth Skeleton Warrior that Su Mu wanted to hunt was in this enclosed space.
Just by leaping out of the library's window... he could land right in front of that Skeleton Warrior!
Approaching the window.
Su Mu looked down.
Under the gloomy twilight, he could faintly see a burly figure near the prison entrance.
Estimating the height and distance, Su Mu gripped his Bone Falling Moon Blade, climbed onto the window ledge, and leapt straight at the unsuspecting, burly Skeleton at the prison gate!
The castle was tall.
The window on the third floor was at least seven or eight meters above the ground.
With Su Mu's current Four Attributes, that height posed no threat. Not only would he be unharmed, but the fall would actually amplify the power of his next attack!
The sky was dim and gloomy.
Under the cover of twilight, Su Mu leapt from the window like a bird, descending with a cold gleam toward the Skeleton below!
Seven or eight meters vanished in a flash.
When Su Mu was just two or three meters from his target, he raised his Bone Falling Moon Blade high.
In the next instant—
All of his strength surged into the Bone Falling Moon Blade!
The cold blade, gleaming with icy light, struck the burly Skeleton's neck with all the power of Su Mu's strength and the momentum of his descent!
Death Cleave!
