THE BREAKING HAND PRISON

THE BREAKING HAND PRISON

"Damn, how many hands can the skeleton have and grow back?" I asked them.

"Fight me Bully, Fight me now. I know you are here", the Skeleton King screamed out loud with a challenge in a deep hoarse voice.

"Why is he looking for you?" Eless asked me.

"Because he just lost to me in a fight in the Magic Arena", I replied to her.

"The Skeleton King was the guy you fought with once you returned to the city? Wasn't that one of our conjurers?" Illiwyn asked me.

"Yes, he wanted to test my prowess", I replied to her.

"I don't understand", she asked.

"The guy probably wanted to check if I am still around and active after I went silent in the city for so long during my trip to Delirium. He wanted to know if I am around to stop what they are doing now or going to do", I explained to them.

"Your fight with him didn't stop him from starting all this", Eless commented.

"He probably thought I was a fake after I fought so differently in the Magic Arena", I replied to her.

"He is cunning, this Skeleton King", Cassandra said to us.

"Not as cunning as master you, who followed him after your fight with Asterix's drones. We would not catch the Skeleton King this soon without early notice", Meera told her.

"You followed him after your fight? It was all planned," Anitor asked me.

"Yes, he was suspicious, and I took precautions", I replied to him without elaborating.

"All these talks, are we fighting the Skeleton King or not?" Iviar asked us impatiently.

"Yes, be my guest", I replied to him.

"About bloody time", Iviar replied to us grudgingly before rushing to fight against the Skeleton King.

-----

Iviar rushed out toward the Skeleton King and transformed into the 'Human Thing' again. But his hand was greatly enlarged to hold a powerful colossal hammer infused with the magic of Hell rocks.

Iviar slammed his colossal rocky hammer on the Skeleton King to break his chest, but the monster only took a step back from the impact of the smash.

"You humans are not my match", the Skeleton King told Iviar as his hand was released again.

Skeleton King's broken hand soon seized Iviar in his grasp, imprisoning him inside his bony cage.

"Breaking Hand Prisons"

"Damn, they got Iviar", Epius complained to us.

The priests and conjurers fired their weapons and magic on the enormous Skeleton king, but those attacks couldn't break the monster. Those broken skeletons of the Skeleton King caused by the relentless assaults quickly healed and repaired themselves.

The Skeleton King's armor was formidable and almost indestructible.

"Something is wrong with the Skeleton's magic", I told them.

"What is wrong?" Anitor asked me.

"His magic seems to be limitless. His bones regenerate almost immediately when damaged", I replied to him.

Asterix reported to me immediately after discovering that a secret source of magic was replenishing the Skeleton King while he fought. The seemingly endless magic would give him an advantage in battle.

"Are we attacking yet?" Chash asked me impatiently.

"We still don't know how to defeat the Skeleton King yet", I replied to him.

"We would lose this battle when you figure it out", Epius told me.

"Alright, Chash. It's your show but be careful", I told Chash.

Chash rose to face the Skeleton King and like Iviar before him, the Skeleton King released his broken hand to capture him.

But before the broken hand could reach him, it was smashed to the ground with the force of a powerful conjured sword that pinned it to the ground.

To the left, the smashed skeletal hand was completely frozen, while on the right, a fiery flame was burning relentlessly.

"Dominon of Ice and Fire"

Suddenly, the Skeleton King started to notice Chash who stopped his grasping skeleton hand. He was the only contestant here who was of his match and his attention was turned to him.

"Who are you?" Kolgane asked Chash.

"Your momma", Chash replied to him as he pulled the Sword of Dominon back to his back.

The Skeleton King now stood staring at Chash who floated before him. Their gaze met as they prepared for a duel.

"It seems you have forced me to use my ultimate skill", the Skeleton King said to Chash, unleashing his powerful ultimate without hesitation.

Suddenly, the ground erupted with hundreds of conjured ivories sprouting out like opened rib cages. The ivory was enormous, and they shot toward Chash to trap him before closing the ribs to cage him.

"Ivory Ribs of Force"

Chash was surprised by the conjuration which trapped him in the air, and he couldn't break free from them.

"Yes, this is what I thought. You cannot use your divine weapon again after you just used it", the Skeleton King told Chash smugly, after realizing a weakness in Chash's technique.

There was a cooldown to the use of the Sword of Dominon by Chash because his magic was limited. Without the use of the sword, he was defenseless against the skeleton.

"I'm used up. It's your turn now", Chash shouted back to us.

"The Skeleton King is too strong for us to deal with", Anitor told us.

"The Skeleton King is not invincible. He just has powerful and rapidly replenishing armor", I told him my opinion.

"What are we going to do? Chash is captured by the bone cage and couldn't be freed", Cassandra asked me worriedly.

"We wait a little longer", I replied to her despite the urgency of the situation.

Suddenly, the rib cage ivory that trapped Chash started to constrict and squeeze him with a powerful crushing force.

"Get me out of this damn cage", Chash pleaded with us.

"The skeleton is killing him, do something quick, master, or else Chash will be dead in no time", Meera said and pleaded with me.

"Just a moment longer", I replied to them.

"What the hell are you waiting for?" Chash shouted out in panic.

Suddenly, the response I was waiting for finally arrived.
