Retreat?
Or not?
The Skeletons within the Death Castle had already been alerted. It wouldn't be long before a swarm of Elite Skeletons and Skeleton Warriors arrived to trap him within this enclosed space.
And judging by the speed of that terrifying aura rapidly approaching...
It wouldn't be long before the Skeleton King himself appeared before him!
No matter how confident Su Mu was in his own strength, he had to admit—if he got trapped here and waited for the Skeleton King's arrival, it would spell certain death.
However—
Just leaving like this? Su Mu couldn't accept that either.
He was only one strike away from completing his collection of the four major Class Templates.
If he fled now, he might never have such a perfect opportunity again—Skeleton King's intelligence was already nearly on par with humans. After this experience, the next time Su Mu came back, it would most likely be into a well-prepared trap.
Retreat?
Absolutely not!
The furious roars of the Skeleton King were already echoing from afar, signaling that this terrifying being had entered the Death Castle and was charging straight in Su Mu's direction.
Yet instead of fear, Su Mu's blood boiled with excitement!
This was the first time, since being reborn as a cold-blooded Skeleton, that Su Mu felt this rush!
Fortune favors the bold.
If he truly wanted to become the most powerful BOSS in game history... how could a mere Lord-tier Skeleton King possibly stand in his way?
As countless thoughts flashed like lightning through his mind, Su Mu made his decision.
Reinforcements had arrived.
Amid a barrage of footsteps, a tall Skeleton wielding a greatsword led over a dozen Elite and Advanced Skeletons into the chamber, blocking the only exit.
Behind Su Mu was the Erosion Warden.
Before him was this newly arrived tall Skeleton.
And behind that one, more Skeleton Warriors and Elite Skeletons were swarming in.
In the front courtyard of the castle... the enraged Skeleton King was racing toward him at full speed!
Boom!!!
With a mighty stomp, Su Mu launched himself into the air!
But instead of striking the Erosion Warden, he charged straight at the tall Skeleton blocking his way.
"Death Cleave!"
"Shattered Sky Slash!"
Two powerful BOSS skills were unleashed in succession. A dark blade and crimson energy exploded in tandem, enveloping the entire corridor for dozens of meters.
The tall Skeleton took the brunt of both BOSS skills.
Also a Warrior-tier unit, but nowhere near the Erosion Warden in defense—it was instantly beheaded by Death Cleave.
Then—
The crimson blades split apart, sweeping through the corridor to kill off the Elite and Advanced Skeletons while pushing back those still approaching from behind!
With one strike, Su Mu felled a Skeleton Warrior and didn't stop for even a second.
He snatched the burning Skullhead of the Skeleton Warrior, leapt aside to dodge the Jailer's counterattack, and appeared behind it once more.
The second time.
The Erosion Warden had its back to him.
Its jawbone twitched slightly, as if smiling. Su Mu glanced past it.
That tall, terrifying figure had appeared.
The Skeleton King had arrived!
However—
Between the Skeleton King and Su Mu lay a corridor jammed with Skeleton Warriors, Elite Skeletons, and Advanced Skeletons rushing to assist!
Separated by nearly a hundred meters.
The now-enraged Skeleton King could only watch helplessly as Su Mu raised his Bone Falling Moon Blade once more and brought it down on the Erosion Warden's neck for the second time!
"Death Cleave!"
As expected—
In the first strike, the Jailer's neck had already been more than half severed.
Now, with this second volley of ten cutting blades landing on its neck—even though it, like the rest of its body, was covered in overlapping bone spikes—it could no longer avoid the fate of decapitation.
The blades vanished.
The Erosion Warden's head dropped to the ground.
Su Mu grabbed the Jailer's massive skull—far larger than that of the tall Skeleton—and stuffed it beneath his ribs, then charged forward at full speed, sprinting in the opposite direction from the Skeleton King!
This space was semi-enclosed.
Indeed.
The main path out led straight toward the Skeleton King.
But—
Su Mu was no fool, and certainly not some mindless Skeleton. If the normal route was blocked, he would simply make another.
Racing to the edge of the space, Su Mu leapt several meters into the air.
As he began to fall, out of energy, he stabbed his Bone Falling Moon Blade into the stone wall. Using it as a foothold, he jumped again—landing atop the thick castle wall!
At that moment—
The Skeleton King finally seemed to realize what was happening.
It slammed its massive warhammer into the ground, sending surrounding Skeletons flying as it vaulted into the air in pursuit!
But—
Though powerful, the Skeleton King couldn't necessarily outpace Su Mu.
Just as the Skeleton King lunged for the wall, Su Mu gently leapt off the top, vanishing into the dimming sky as he fled at full speed.
Atop the wall—
Only the towering, terrifying figure of the Skeleton King remained.
And—
A furious roar echoed far and wide.
