Chapter 62: Burying the Skeleton King Alive

Chapter 62: Burying the Skeleton King Alive

"Roar!"

The Skeleton King let out a series of furious, helpless howls.

Its massive skeletal frame emitted a surge of sinister energy.

The sinister energy dissipated like cold air upon contact with the Heavenly Flame of Creation.

Flames naturally dispel evil, and the Heavenly Flame of Creation even more so.

The Skeleton King, unwilling to accept its fate, growled, "Human! Who exactly are you?"

Alexander ignored the question, focusing solely on manipulating the giant of white flames to strike the Skeleton King repeatedly, causing more cracks to appear on its bones.

Burying this creature in the yard could definitely grow something extraordinary!

The Skeleton King's bones were badly damaged, and it knew there was no chance of turning the tide.

The Skeleton King howled toward the sky, "Scatter!"

This command was directed at the other demonic creatures.

A powerful human had appeared; the other high-level demons must be warned!

The Skeleton King wasn't sure if it would die here.

Just in case, it needed the surviving demons to convey what had happened today.

The demons, already reluctant to fight, felt relief upon hearing their leader's command and fled frantically in all directions.

"Block them!"

A hunter roared.

Immediately, the other hunters began using their last bit of spirit to hunt down the fleeing demons.

With their defeat like a landslide, this was already a one-sided massacre.

The Skeleton King howled and struggled, unwilling to sit idly by.

It used its sinister energy to draw in spirit, constantly repairing its body.

Inside the giant of white flames, Alexander frowned. Why was this Skeleton King so difficult to kill?

Even though Alexander possessed great spiritual power and was proficient in spirit-forming techniques, he couldn't maintain the white flame giant form for long.

Finally, the white flames dissipated, revealing an Alexander radiating killing intent.

The Skeleton King also returned to its normal size, now utterly immobilized.

But it knew it was still alive.

"Hahaha! I may not be able to defeat you.

But you can't kill me!

Once I recover, I will lead the demons and join forces with other high-level demons to flatten Bluewater City!

Hahaha..."

Suddenly, the Skeleton King's laughter came to an abrupt stop as it caught sight of Alexander's icy gaze.

A chilling voice came from Alexander's thin lips, "Do you really think I can't kill you?"

The Skeleton King froze, cautiously asking, "What are you going to do?"

A cruel smirk appeared at the corner of Alexander's mouth.

He bent down, grabbed the Skeleton King's leg bone, and began dragging its body toward the main road.

The hunters blocking his path quickly stepped aside, their eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

The more powerful their leader was, the safer they would be.

Alexander dragged the Skeleton King along until they reached the roadside.

There, a large truck had been waiting for some time.

Wearing a ghostly mask, Jack stepped down from the driver's seat. He paused, his heart skipping a beat in fear when he saw the Skeleton King.

After glancing at the indifferent Alexander, Jack suppressed his fear and opened the truck's cargo compartment.

Like tossing out garbage, Alexander threw the Skeleton King inside, then opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

Jack started the engine, constantly checking the rearview mirror.

The Skeleton King, an A-rank demon, was right in his truck?

Stealing a glance at Alexander, Jack recalled that this young man had been his classmate just a few months ago.

Although they weren't close, they had exchanged pleasantries.

Now, a few months later, this classmate with the farmer's talent had become a top-tier awakened one.

Who could have imagined that the ruler of half of Bluewater City was just a fresh graduate?

It all felt like a dream.

The truck came to a stop in the old district, at Alexander's small courtyard.

Alexander opened the cargo compartment, dragging the near-dead Skeleton King out. The creature's skull hit the ground heavily.

He pushed open the gate and dragged the Skeleton King into the yard.

"President!"

An elderly beggar, who had been lounging on a bench, sprang to his feet upon seeing Alexander, bowing halfway in greeting.

Alexander placed the Skeleton King on the ground, then picked up a hoe and began digging in the farming field.

The old beggar's murky eyes instantly gleamed!

The Skeleton King!

He looked at Alexander in shock; the president had actually defeated such a monster!

Swallowing his saliva, the old beggar pretended nothing had happened, standing silently with his head lowered.

Soon, Alexander dug out a hole in the farming field, just big enough to bury the Skeleton King.

The Skeleton King struggled to rise:

"What exactly are you going to do?!"

Alexander approached, stepping on the Skeleton King's skull as he spoke:

"Your spiritual energy would be a waste if you died."

With that, he grabbed the Skeleton King's claws and tossed it, along with its bone sword, into the farming field.

Then, he picked up the shovel and began covering it with soil.

The ghostly flames in the Skeleton King's eyes flickered violently:

"Human, you're not thinking of sealing me here, are you?"

It could sense that this courtyard was filled with sinister energy, far more than even a demon's lair!

Who knows how many lives had ended here.

If it could cultivate in this place, it would recover its body's injuries quickly.

Sealing it here? That would be like trapping a mouse with cheese!

The sinister energy in the farming field where the Skeleton King lay was even more intense. Its skeletal wounds were visibly healing.

"Foolish human!"

The Skeleton King secretly mocked Alexander.

It also felt fortunate that its power source was sinister energy.

Soon, as the soil covered half of its body, the Skeleton King realized something was wrong.

It couldn't move!

The soil here was strange, completely suppressing it!

There were all sorts of chaotic forces within, greedily absorbing its spiritual energy!

The hard-earned spiritual energy it had just recovered was now draining away!

"No! Stop!"

It tried to draw in more sinister energy to resist those forces.

However, its speed in gathering spiritual energy couldn't compare to the insatiable greed of those forces!

The Skeleton King panicked. Was it about to be buried underground?

It liked cold, dark environments but didn't want to remain in eternal darkness!

This was worse than death!

The Skeleton King screamed in terror:

"I surrender! I'm willing to serve you! Great President, spare me!"

A mocking smile curved on Alexander's lips:

"In that case, you shall serve me.

Slumber beneath the earth and provide nourishment for my power."

Alexander filled the final patch of soil, burying the Skeleton King's flickering ghostly eyes.

"No!!"

The Skeleton King's voice grew fainter until it was completely sealed off, leaving the courtyard in silence.

It was still alive, still conscious, but it couldn't move, see, or hear.

Deep underground, the roots of the wishwood tree wound tightly around the immobilized Skeleton King.

The despairing Skeleton King could feel those roots leeching its strength!

And there was nothing it could do but watch.

Had it known this would happen, it would rather have rotted in its grave than crawl out to become a demon.

After finishing everything, Alexander sat on the lounge chair, quietly waiting.

In the small courtyard, the wishwood tree's leaves grew more vibrant, and an unripe wishwood fruit began to form.

However, the fruit was not yet fully developed.

The wishwood fruit continued to siphon the sinister energy from the Skeleton King, supplying nutrients to itself.

At this slow pace, who knew how long it would take to mature?

Alexander curiously examined the wishwood fruit.

What kind of thing is this? Why is its growth so slow?
