In the library, a figure in front of a stone table was studying something.
This figure was extremely thin, and his entire body was covered by a shabby robe with a hood.
When a breeze blew in from the window of the library, blowing the shabby robe up, one would be able to see the essence hidden under the robe.
It was a pale white skeleton!
To be precise, it was a warrior-level skeleton. Not only did it possess a certain level of intelligence, but it had also awakened a trace of memories from when it was alive—the Dark Mage.
The boneyard was lacking in resources.
Other than the skeletons and the presence of death everywhere, it could be said that there was nothing else there.
This dark mage was just trying to pass the time. Perhaps repeating this behavior would allow it to awaken more of its memories.
Kacha!
Crisp footsteps sounded in the library.
The dark mage gave up on his futile research and threw aside a skull on the stone table that still had soul fire flickering within it. He turned around.
From what the dark mage knew, no one could or would dare to invade the Death Castle.
The sound of footsteps could be heard in the library, which meant that its cruel king was about to summon it again.
However, when it turned around, what awaited it was not the skeleton guards of the past, but a pitch-black blade!
Death Cut!
Kacha!
The pitch-black blade disappeared.
After killing the dark mage with a high-level skill, Bruce habitually squatted down and absorbed the skeleton left behind by the Brave Earth skeleton.
—
"You killed the 'dark mage./'"
"You gained 6,500 experience points."
"You absorbed the essence of the skeleton, and your body became stronger."
"Your spirit increased by 25 points."
"You have obtained the information of the warrior class template, dark wizard class change."
—
The spell casters of the skeleton clan were indeed the models of weak bodies and weak health. After absorbing the essence of the skeleton, other than a substantial increase in his spirit attribute, his other three attributes had not increased at all!
However, in comparison, Bruce preferred this method of growth.
The hardest aspect for the skeleton race to improve and increase was their spirit attribute.
He hunted dark mages in order to integrate their class template into his warrior class. When he advanced to the next level, he would be able to greatly increase his spirit growth.
Bruce was happy to see this result.
He obtained the third warrior class template.
—
"Your servant, skeleton general, has died."
"Your servant, skeleton mage, has died."
"Your servant, terror mage, has died."
"Your servant..."
—
On the attributes panel, a large amount of information kept refreshing without stopping.
It meant that his skeleton army was still being surrounded.
His vision switched.
When Bruce used the vision of a skeleton in the skeleton army to observe his surroundings, the huge and terrifying figure of the Skeleton King had indeed disappeared from the battlefield.
What replaced it was the three skeleton armies that were surrounding and killing Bruce's skeleton underlings!
Bruce did not know whether the Skeleton King had just left the battlefield or had left the battlefield after he killed the skeleton sniper.
He calculated the time.
From the time he killed the skeleton sniper until then, it had been almost three minutes.
If the Skeleton King had left the battlefield immediately after killing the skeleton sniper and rushed toward the castle, conservatively speaking, he still had about two minutes to kill the fourth skeleton warrior. He had obtained the fourth warrior class template!
Two minutes...
One skeleton warrior...
That was enough time!
When he sneaked into the castle, Bruce had already planned the route.
The fourth warrior skeleton he was going to kill was right below this library!
The entire Death Castle had a three-story design.
In the front was the yard surrounded by the city walls and arrow towers. The large empty space was originally used as a training ground, and in the middle was the main body of the castle. It included the servant rooms on the lower level, the warrior resting place on the middle level, the hall on the upper level, and the lord's bedroom.
Behind the castle was a prison!
Judging by the habits of the NPC nobles in the second world, the prison of the castle was built underground. The entrance of the prison was at the back of the castle.
The main body of the castle and the wall at the back of the castle formed a relatively closed space. Even if there was any movement in this closed space, it would not attract attention.
The fourth warrior skeleton that Bruce wanted to kill was located in this closed space.
If he jumped down from the window of this library, he would be able to appear in front of the warrior skeleton!
Bruce approached the window and looked down.
Under the dark and gloomy sky, he could vaguely see a strong figure at the entrance of the prison.
After estimating the height and distance between the two, Bruce carried the skeleton knife and climbed up the window. He jumped down from the entrance of the prison without noticing the strong skeleton!
The castle was very high.
The window on the third floor was at least seven to eight meters high from the ground.
With Bruce's four-dimensional attributes, this height was nothing. Not only would it not hurt him, but it would also greatly increase the power of his next attack!
The sky was dark and gloomy.
Under the cover of the night sky, Bruce jumped out of the window like a falcon. With a flash of cold light, he pounced towards the strong skeleton on the ground!
The height of seven to eight meters was gone in the blink of an eye.
When he was only two to three meters away from the strong skeleton, the skeleton broadsword in Bruce's hand was already raised high.
The next moment, all the power was poured into the skeleton broadsword.
The blade that was flashing with cold light, under the double support of Bruce's own strength and the gravity brought by falling from the high sky, ruthlessly slashed toward the neck of the strong skeleton!
"Death Cut!"
Dong!
A series of dull sounds of collision spread far and wide.
Bruce's blade smoothly slashed out.
The pitch-black light blade that erupted from the Death Cut also slashed onto the body of the muscular skeleton!
However, it was not the neck.
At the last moment of the Death Cut's attack, the skeleton seemed to have a telepathic connection. As it retreated explosively, it used the sawtooth bone blade in its hand to block the attack.
The ten light blades landed on the serrated bone blade in the skeleton's hand. Moreover, Bruce's normal attack did not break the bone blade. Instead, it only left marks on it!
Skeleton equipment was the most direct reaction of a skeleton's four-dimensional attributes and defensive ability.
He had already expected it, but when he truly faced it, only then did Bruce know how powerful the defensive ability of this warrior skeleton that focused on physique growth was!
That's right.
The last skeleton that Bruce wanted to hunt was precisely the skeleton that focused on physique growth, the skeleton guardian's brave earth advancement—Skeleton Warden!
