The Era of Tower Defense: I Have Super Enhancement - Chapter 38
Chapter 38: Catching the Skeleton Prince
“Arya!”
Seeing that Arya had taken a knife for him and died, Thomas’ eyes turned red.
Although it had been less than two days since he had known Arya, the battles had made Thomas treat them as his closest companions.
And now, this companion had taken a knife for him and died, and the murderer was standing in front of him!
Thomas would definitely not let it go.
Not to mention the fact that it was the Skeleton Prince, even if the Skeleton King came, he would not care and would still kill it for you to see.
“Lightning Chain!” Thomas waved the silver scepter in his hand, and a blue bolt of lightning struck towards the Skeleton Prince.
“Hmph, small tricks.” The Skeleton Prince snorted coldly, and threw the black cloak on its body.
A red runic barrier appeared in front of it, blocking the Lightning Chain.
“You want to kill me?” The Skeleton Prince revealed a disdainful smile. “Netherworld Ghost Fog!”
The Skeleton Prince took out a small ball from its bosom and threw it on the ground.
A ball of black fog spread out, blocking everyone’s vision.
“Why can’t I see?” O’Neill shouted in panic.
“Hahahaha, this Netherworld Ghost Fog is a tool that I asked the Mages to use to specifically block your line of sight, but I won’t be affected in any way. You guys can wait for me to kill you in this Netherworld Ghost Fog!” The Skeleton Prince raised its short sword in excitement.
“In the name of the Goddess, Dispel Spell!” The scepter in Arnold’s hand lit up with a white light, and the Netherworld Ghost Fog that spread out instantly vanished into thin air. The Skeleton Prince reappeared in front of everyone.
“Uh…” The Skeleton Prince was stunned, and it looked at everyone awkwardly.
After all, it had just said some harsh words, and then it was slapped in the face. It was really awkward.
However, it was, after all, the Skeleton Prince, and it had a lot of treasures in his hands.
After a slight pause, the Skeleton Prince crushed a gemstone.
A ray of light shot out from the gemstone and directly rushed toward Arnold.
This was also a magic tool specially made by the Skeleton Prince.
The gemstone stored a magic spell called Petrification, which could petrify people who were not above level 5 into statues.
This was something it used to save its life, but it took it out today.
“Thank you for the Goddess’ gift. Holy Light Shield!”
A layer of white light covered Arnold’s tower shield, and the ray of light hit the tower shield.
The Skeleton Prince laughed.
Its Petrification Ray was an enhanced version. Even if the target held ten layers of shield, the Petrification Ray could penetrate the shield and turn the target into a stone statue.
It stood there, wanting to see Arnold’s dumbfounded look after it was turned into a stone statue.
However, what happened next shocked it.
After the Petrification Ray hit the tower shield, it completely dissipated.
However, Arnold was still standing there as if nothing had happened.
Not to mention Arnold, even his tower shield was still shrouded in white light. There was nothing strange about it.
“How is this possible?” The Skeleton Prince looked at Arnold in disbelief.
“No one can be safe and sound after being hit by my Petrification Ray! Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!”
“In front of the Great Goddess of Life, all magic is merely stealing power. Only the power of the Goddess is eternal. Surrender! Use your blood to pay for your sins,” Arnold said coldly.
“Hmph, do you think you can capture me just like that? Stop dreaming,” the Skeleton Prince said coldly.
The Skeleton Prince took out a goatskin scroll from its bosom. It was a magic scroll, and a teleportation spell was sealed on it.
As long as the scroll was activated, it would be able to teleport to the marked area.
“Hmph, you lowly insects. Don’t think that you can capture me just because you won once. Next time, I will bring more men and trample this place to the ground!” the Skeleton Prince said as it tore open the scroll.
A magic array appeared under its feet.
The runes lit up one by one. As long as the runes were all lit up, it could leave.
“There’s no way you can leave!”
Thomas would never let the Skeleton Prince escape just like that. He pulled out the Holy Light Longsword and slashed at the Skeleton Prince.
Seeing Thomas’ actions, the Skeleton Prince laughed out loud.
“Don’t waste your energy. In order to prevent being killed during the teleportation, when I asked someone to draw the magic array, I specially added a magic shield that can block the attack of a level 6 powerhouse. Don’t waste your energy. Wash your neck and wait for me to come back!”
However, the next moment, something that shocked it appeared.
Thomas’ Holy Light Longsword slashed at the top of its head, and a transparent light barrier appeared in time.
However, the light barrier only flickered for a moment before it shattered. It did not even last a second.
The Holy Light Longsword followed the momentum and fell, and the sword directly cut the Skeleton Prince into two halves.
Crash!
The bones that had lost the support of magic power collapsed and shattered into pieces on the ground.
“Huh?”
After waiting for a while, Thomas found something unusual.
Although the Skeleton Prince’s body was shattered into bones, it did not turn into ashes.
Moreover, the magic core did not appear.
This really did not conform to the rules of this world.
“There must be something strange.”
Thomas turned to O’Neill and said, “O’Neill, bring a few people and grind these bones into powder. There must be something strange in here!”
“Yes!” O’Neill, who had been holding back for a long time, heard this and immediately brought people with hammers to smash the Skeleton Prince’s bones into powder inch by inch.
Sure enough, after smashing half, they found something unusual.
“Sir Thomas, look!” O’Neill found a thumb-sized metal box from the Skeleton Prince’s ribs.
This metal box was made of a kind of black metal, and it was engraved with all kinds of mysterious runes. It looked very mysterious.
“What is this thing?” Thomas played with it carefully in his hand.
The main city had never taught him this kind of thing, and Thomas did not know it.
However, this black metal box was filled with a cold aura. One look and one could tell that it was not something good.
“It definitely is not something good. Let’s just smash it.”
Thomas placed the black metal box on the stone slab and raised the Holy Light Longsword in his hand. He was about to chop it down.
At this moment, a shadow emerged from the black metal box.
It seemed to be the Skeleton Prince.
At this moment, the Skeleton Prince no longer looked arrogant as before. Its face was full of pleading.
“Please, don’t destroy my phylactery. If my phylactery is destroyed, I will really die. I can pay a ransom in exchange for my life. What do you want? Gold coins, jewelry, beautiful women, magic scrolls, divine weapons, or supreme power? As long as you bring it up, I can satisfy you. I only beg you to let me live.”
