"I must get a Bone Dragon as my mount one day!"
Casting a longing glance at the reassembled Skeleton Warhorse that had returned to Angnes's side, Su Mu silently made a firm vow in his heart.
In addition—
It's worth noting that even though Dark Knight Angnes was a Warrior Tier from the Death Knight race, Su Mu didn't obtain any useful information from her memories during the Erosion and enslavement process.
Angnes, who had fallen from humanity… seemed to have no recollection of her life before death.
Her memories began from the moment she was born as a Bone Knight on this land of death, hunting Skeletons and gaining experience, gradually growing into a Warrior Tier Dark Knight.
However, her level of intelligence far surpassed that of other Warrior Tier Skeletons, nearly reaching the level of a Lord Tier Skeleton.
To Su Mu, this was good news.
A Dark Knight with significant intelligence and boundless potential might be the only Undead in all of Bone Burial Ground capable of keeping pace with Su Mu's growth.
With a bit of training, this knightly girl would become a powerful assistant.
This time was totally worth it.
……
……
In the days that followed, Su Mu once again returned to his salted fish state of passively gaining experience.
The difference was—
This time, he had a Dark Knight by his side.
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
Four days.
By the time the Experience Points returned by the Skeleton Minions pushed his level to 38, Su Mu couldn't sit still any longer.
Level 38.
His Four Attributes had increased twice more.
Strength: 1218, Agility: 983, Constitution: 1215, Spirit: 466.
With stats like these…
Su Mu once again felt the urge to challenge the Skeleton King!
Levels 51 to 60 marked the Lord Tier, equivalent to Heroic Rank among humans.
Whether the Skeleton King was still within this level range or had already surpassed the level cap of 60 through years of harvesting in Bone Burial Ground, with his current Four Attributes—and the life-saving "Phase Shift"—Su Mu believed he now qualified to face the Skeleton King.
Even if he couldn't win…
If he wanted to retreat, the Skeleton King wouldn't be able to stop him.
With that in mind, the idea of raiding Death Castle became incredibly tempting.
Forget the Skeleton King himself—for Su Mu, just the sheer number of Skeleton Warriors inside Death Castle promised a massive harvest of Experience Points and free stat points!
He decided to act immediately.
After reviewing his attribute panel once more, Su Mu told Angnes to go hunt on her own, while he set off straight for Death Castle.
……
A few hours later, Su Mu appeared near Death Castle.
It had been over twenty days since he last left. The three major Bone Legions under the Skeleton King still occupied the area outside the castle.
To the Undead, time meant nothing.
They didn't feel boredom or restlessness.
As long as the Skeleton King hadn't issued new patrol orders, these three Bone Legions could maintain this formation indefinitely, stationed just outside Death Castle.
As for the Skeleton King—
He was certainly inside the castle hall, seated on his throne!
The three Bone Legions were stationed at three sides of Death Castle.
Perhaps due to the threat Su Mu posed, or the proximity to the Skeleton King's aura, their numbers had grown since the last time Su Mu saw them.
Each Bone Legion now contained between five to eight thousand Skeletons.
Moreover—
Among them, besides the commanding Skeleton Commanders, there were now Warrior Tier Skeletons such as Bone Snipers, Dark Mages, and Bone Raiders!
All three Bone Legions were stationed roughly four to five hundred meters from the castle.
Combined with the presence of Warrior Tier Skeletons… it was clear that this was a trap set by the Skeleton King.
Given Su Mu's past actions—devouring five Bone Legions and infiltrating Death Castle to hunt Skeleton Warriors—the Skeleton King likely believed Su Mu was still targeting Skeleton Warriors.
These three Bone Legions were bait.
If Su Mu showed up and attacked, and the multiple Skeleton Warriors inside could stall him even briefly, the nearby Skeleton King would swiftly arrive to kill him!
Admittedly, this trap could be highly effective against typical Warrior Tier Skeletons with low intelligence.
But, Su Mu wasn't an ordinary Skeleton.
Though his tier was indeed Warrior, he still retained his full human consciousness, memories, and intelligence!
A trap this simple—he could see through it at a glance!
The Soul Flame flickered in his eye sockets.
After carefully observing the surroundings of Death Castle, Su Mu moved toward the largest of the three Bone Legions.
A trap?
Yes, it was a trap.
But when Su Mu's strength allowed him to disregard the trap entirely, the bait laid by the Skeleton King became nothing more than a feast waiting to be devoured!
Su Mu moved in closer without concealing himself.
When he was still several hundred meters away, the long-awaiting Bone Legion spotted him.
Immediately—
With a command from the Skeleton Commander, the sea of nearly eight thousand Skeletons surged forward, charging toward Su Mu.
And Su Mu?
He took a single step forward.
Instantly, he crossed over a thousand meters, appearing right in the center of the Sea of Skeletons.
Then, he raised the Bone Falling Moon Blade high and brought it down with force.
"Shattered Sky Slash!"
