Chapter 789 - A Barrack
Chapter 789 – A Barrack
"I'm going to kill all of you."
"Say that when you have the power to do so." Theo smirked. Since the witch didn't have the control over the Death Armor anymore, she couldn't use it to enhance the power of the undead. So, the undead wouldn't be that formidable even if she summoned them.
"You think you won't need to fight powerful undead just because you've taken that armor… Is that what you're thinking?" The witch smirked and clapped her hands. "As expected, you're not a necromancer. So, you don't know what exactly this place is…"
"Rise."
"!!!" Agata, Maya, Theo, and Ava immediately regrouped in one place as they felt something was wrong.
Two skeletons suddenly came out of the ground. Their entrance looked like any other Skeletal monsters they had fought this whole time. But, instead of white, the color of their bones was purple.
The skeleton that appeared on the witch's right had armor that protected his body and legs. The armor was yellow but soon turned plain purple, matching the color of the bones.
The skeleton's body was similar to Theo from height to wingspan. And unlike Theo, the skeleton was wielding a one-edged long purple sword.
On the other hand, the one on her left had similar armor but a different weapon. The skeleton didn't use a sword. It used a spear.
Both of them looked at Theo and the others while emanating their killing intent.
"This is not good, Theo. Looking at those spear skelly and sword skelly, I'm afraid they're powerful warriors." Maya's expression turned grim.
"You don't know a thing…" The witch smiled. "You are not even aware that the place you're standing on right now was a barrack. And because you're not a necromancer, there's no way for you to stop them."
"Barrack…" Agata muttered and looked at them. There was only one pair that would be in charge of protecting the witch. It was a pair of the captain and its vice.
Theo resummoned his clone and took a deep breath. "Alright. Ava takes care of the sword skelly; I'll handle the spear skelly. Maya will support us and Agata will beat the witch."
"Got it." All of them answered in unison while Maya commented, "So, you agree with the nickname I put on those skeletons?"
Theo rolled his eyes and immediately charged forward, not bothering to give any reply.
The spear skeleton moved forward and thrust his spear forward.
Theo struck the tip of his spear before sliding down the blade, trying to knock the spear down.
Just like the other skeletons, the spear skeleton still remembered the Martial Art it learned in the past.
Seeing Theo's movement, the skeleton stomped the ground and stopped Theo's spear from moving.
"…" Theo had expected this. In fact, he wanted to see what kind of spear technique the skeleton had.
The moment he was stopped, the clone appeared next to him, preparing to thrust his spear to the skeleton's head.
The spear skeleton slightly twisted his wrist to gain a slight distance between their spears before he waved it horizontally, striking Theo and Clone Theo's spears in succession.
After that, a huge golden dragon came out of the tip of the spear and moved to swallow the clone. The eastern dragon looked like an extension of the spear's tip.
This extension turned around and opened its mouth.
Theo saw this giant dragon's head while his clone hurriedly jumped to the side.
The dragon didn't stop there. It continued to chase Clone Theo that happened to move to the real body.
Pissed, Theo's real body waved his spear to the side and manipulated the air with his Telekinesis, blasting the dragon to the side.
"Let's see what you got." Theo smirked before running forward together with his clone. The spear skeleton also did the same.
Meanwhile, the sword skeleton didn't have an equal enemy. Ava kept sending him the five lightning balls in succession.
With how hard the lightning balls were, the skeletons couldn't cut them. He only deflected them this whole time while trying to find a gap in Ava's defense.
Not wanting to lose, Ava disappeared, using her fastest speed to arrive in front of the skeleton.
She covered her right hand with lightning and struck the skeleton.
The latter managed to block it and landed several feet away. On the other hand, Ava looked at her own skin and realized there was a droplet of blood coming out of a small wound on her fist.
"…" She fell silent before looking at the skeleton who had raised his stance again.
While they were stalling the skeletons, Maya and Agata had been working together to bring down the witch.
Maya kept shooting her with the rifle while Agata raised vines from underneath the ground.
The vines circled around the witch's ankles, but when she was about to burst the illusion vine to injure the old woman's leg, the witch had understood her plan and countered it.
A burst of Magic Power dispersed the pink smoke. The witch then drew another circle in the air with her index finger.
A black-colored ring appeared around Agata and Maya and started to shrink to capture them or even cut them.
Maya changed her weapon to grenade launchers and bombarded the ring until it was destroyed.
However, this was just a distraction. The witch's real intention was not them.
"I'll show you what I can do…" The witch controlled her black pot as the latter began to fly toward her. "Luckily, I've been brewing poison this whole time. Let me see how you handle this poison…"
"You seriously tell that to us?" Theo widened his eyes.
"I'm just letting you poor soul, who will die soon, know what killed you." The witch harrumphed and snapped her finger to control the green liquid inside the pot.
But she was surprised that no liquid came out.
When she slightly tweaked the pot, she realized the pot was empty. At that moment, the witch turned around and saw a hole on the ground.
Theo immediately used his Telekinesis to crush the floor and fill the hole with debris.
"Oops. You talked too much, so I took my time to drain the pot." Theo smirked as he had used his Telekinesis to make a hole underneath the pot.. "I guess you didn't feel that."
