Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 1237 - 829 Calamity Skeleton

“Relax, it’s not a big deal, and with the Dragon Queen here, we’ll be safer,” Fang Hao murmured in reassurance.

Beata nodded slightly.

She really feared that a misunderstanding would arise between the two, leading to conflict.

First, she tried to persuade her own mother, but when that had no effect, she turned to persuade Fang Hao.

Both sides made good cases, preventing the situation from becoming too severe.

Nearby…

Cleolando stood with his purple heroes in the corner, somewhat unsure of what to do.

He had initially believed that Fang Hao’s strongest force were only those black-armored Dark Gold Heroes.

But this time, there seemed to be an impressive new figure.

Even though she didn’t know much,

recent events involving Fang Hao and the Dragon Clan battles led her to guess the identity of the woman in the golden dress.

The sky-blazing Dragon Queen.

The strongest among the demigods, so legend said.

Weren’t Fang Hao and the Dragon Clan in an opposing relationship, with rather tense interactions?

How did it come to be that a silver dragon appeared, and now even the Dragon Queen had come?

After some hesitation, she mustered the courage to lead her heroes over.

She respectfully said, “I’ve seen the Dragon Queen.”

The Dragon Queen, standing to the side, glanced over only slightly.

She spoke sternly, “No need for formalities, just carry on with your own duties.”

Ah, so domineering.

Cleolando nodded, “As the Dragon Queen wishes. Should you require anything, please entrust us to assist.”

The commonality of transmigrators.

Upon meeting certain special figures, they all plucked up the courage to offer their services.

Even if there was really no task to be done, they wanted to leave an impression on the person.

The Dragon Queen gazed forward without responding.

Cleolando quietly led his people back to stand behind again.

Whoosh…!

The huge statue was kicked over by Anjia.

After a quick inspection, finding no treasure within the statue, she jumped down from the pedestal.

Brushing the dust from her hands, she said, “Checked it already, nothing there…”

Fang Hao pulled her to his side, “There are others around, don’t act like a jumping monkey.”

“Oh, oh, hehe!” laughed Anjia, not caring in the least.

At that moment…

Footsteps sounded, and the soldiers sent out to scout returned from the next level.

Approaching, one said, “Sir, on the second level, we’ve encountered Undead enemies.”

Cleolando glanced at Fang Hao and the Dragon Queen, his eyes seeking instruction.

Fang Hao said, “Alright, leave the rest to me, you don’t need to worry about it now.”

Cleolando nodded and turned, ordering his soldiers to clean up the area.

…

Behind the statue was a stone door carved with complex patterns.

Fang Hao had taken a couple of pictures just before.

He wasn’t interested, but he could show them to Amanda when he got back; she liked to study these things.

The stone door was already open, likely by previous transmigrators during their exploration.

Fang Hao released the Deomn Doll, and accompanied by Anjia and Beata along with a number of constructions, they entered through the stone door.

The stone stairs descended downward.

As they went deeper, the light grew more dim, and the walls on either side were no longer as dry as the first floor.

A layer of moist gloss covered the surface.

Click, click, click!!

Halfway through, bone friction sounds could be heard.

Fang Hao was all too familiar with this sound, the movement of Skeleton soldiers.

Approaching the second level, the ground was covered with a layer of fresh blood and minced flesh.

It was like a slab of wax, possessively sticky when stepped on.

It seemed that the assault on the second level had indeed cost many lives.

Exiting the staircase, everyone paused sharply.

The area was extensive, and in the center of the expansive space,

piled up was a giant white bone column big enough for five or six people to embrace, reaching all the way to the ceiling.

Piles of White Bone writhed constantly, as if imbued with life.

At this moment, towards the direction of the staircase, a head, its flesh mangled and not yet fully peeled off, suddenly squeezed out from the White Bone.

Facing everyone, it shouted with all its might.

“Save… save me, please get me out…”

Whoosh!!

The words triggered the unfolding like a password.

The imposing white bone column suddenly scattered, transforming into creatures with limbs crawling, their bodies composed of multiple skulls and a jumbled torso.

They spread out everywhere.

On the ground, the walls, the ceiling.

Densely dispersed, the skulls all turned towards the intruders who had entered uninvited.

[Calamity Skeleton (Tier Ten Troopers)].

Calamity Skeletons.

They looked like a spine with three bizarre skulls grafted on, three to four limbs extending on either side of the body.

They scurried like spiders, scorpions, without a pause, the voids of their eye sockets fixated upon them.

The person who had just cried for help was grafted onto a Skeleton, the head not yet fully transformed, mumbling pleas for help, pain, and a desire to go home.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The sound of bone friction rose again as the ‘Calamity Skeleton’ shook off its momentary stupor and began to advance toward them.

Fang Hao didn’t hesitate and immediately gave the order, “Kill all the Skeletons.”

Swoosh—Swoosh Swoosh!!

The constructs entered battle mode, kicking off the ground and charging toward their targets—one metallic construct after another.

Their Longswords sliced through the air, striking down their enemies.

Clang!

Clang Clang Clang!!

Like spiders that could climb walls, the Skeletons moving rapidly on the ceiling displayed remarkable agility.

The attack power and combat skills of the constructs were clearly superior to the Skeletons.

However, the wall-climbing ability fell short when compared to these peculiar Skeletons.

“I’ll go help them,” Anjia said, and dashed into the fray.

“I’m going too…” Beata rushed in as well.

Fang Hao was taken aback and immediately called out from behind, “Don’t use any powerful Skills; if this place collapses, we’re all done for.”

This place was not like the outside.

If the fight caused too much commotion and the structure collapsed, they’d all be buried under the desert.

“Got it…” the two women replied and joined the battle.

A one-sided advantage began to emerge.

Anjia’s martial arts were always fierce, while Beata, even in human form, continued to unleash lightning Magic.

A shower of bones rained down from the sky.

They blanketed the ground in a thick layer.

These Skeeltons were fundamentally different from the Undead Skeletons Fang Hao previously encountered.

The most noticeable difference was the dark red Soul Fire in their eye sockets.

It was different from the normal Undead Soul Fire and markedly distinct from the color provided by the ‘Flame of Faith.’

Even to the Undead, this Soul Fire felt evil and chaotic, instilling a sense of discomfort.

Soon, the battle neared its end.

Only a few Skeletons remained, still trying to escape but were being hunted down by the many constructs.

The conclusion of the fight was only a matter of time.

Swoosh swoosh!

At this moment, the two women returned, debating over who had killed more targets.

In Anjia’s hand, she dragged a torso with an upper body that was a blurred mass of flesh and blood.

It was the person who had called for help.

“Here, he’s still talking, seems to be alive,” Anjia said, tossing over the torso.

The flayed body writhed weakly on the ground.

Desperately lifting its head, its eyes brimmed with a longing for survival, “Save… save me!”

Such tenacious vitality.

Could one still live under these conditions?

“I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to save you.”

“Please, save me…” the man persisted.

Fang Hao nodded and continued, “I’ve sent for someone to come down. Now, I need to ask you a few questions.”

The man didn’t speak, but lay there, powerless.

Fang Hao wasn’t sure if he had any strength left.

“Why were you trapped among the Skeletons, and what kind of enemies are down below?”

After a long silence.

The man finally spoke again, “They pieced together corpses to create these monsters, and many more people were taken even deeper down.”

According to the information from ‘Cleolando.’

There were quite a few transmigrators that had come down, not to mention the soldiers that had been brought along.

If they were all turned into these kinds of Skeleton soldiers, especially in this particular environment…

It would indeed make the map increasingly challenging.

No wonder no one was coming down to die anymore.

Moreover, the ‘they’ referred to by this man didn’t seem to depict Skeletons, but rather some sort of people.

By this time, the battle had ended.

Several of Cleolando’s Skeleton soldiers came down from above to clean up the battlefield.

They took the wounded man up; whether he could survive was uncertain.

Even if he couldn’t live, becoming an Undead might not be a bad thing after all.

Before long, Fang Hao saw the Skeleton soldiers cleaning the battlefield, carrying a silver treasure chest up.

Fang Hao didn’t bother with these and instead regrouped his forces.

Ready to continue downward.

It was still a stone door, except this one was closed.

As soon as the stone door opened, the sounds of bone friction and climbing along walls came from inside.

It seemed that the passageway leading to the third level was already brimming with these creatures.

Everyone waited outside the stone gate.

As expected, the crawling sounds drew closer.

A swarm of ‘Calamity Skeletons’ emerged from the opening like spiders and lunged at the group.

“Attack!”

The constructs activated once again and the battle commenced.

It was better to eliminate the enemy here to avoid fighting in the corridors.

The two parties continued to entangle with each other.

The dark entrance was like a gateway to hell, continuously spawning oddly-shaped Skeletons.

…

On the first level, the Skeleton soldiers returned after cleaning up the battlefield.

The oddly-shaped Calamity Skeletons didn’t drop any items.

But the broken limbs of the constructs and the Fine Iron Valkyrie Longswords still had to be collected.

Besides that, there was a silver treasure chest.

A mere silver chest for a defense of a tenth-order troop seemed rather meager.

After administering a potion to the rescued wounded man, they handed him over to Cleolando.

Cleolando was also an Undead force; if this body couldn’t be saved…

A transformation ritual would be the next course of action.

As Cleolando went to inquire from the wounded man, Fang Hao approached the chest.

He opened the treasure chest.
