Omega Summoner
Chapter 2894: Second Phase: Nidhogg I
A gigantic skeleton suddenly sprouting from the ground to fight against the Primordial Beast Nidhogg is not something that was planned. Still, the plan to contain and kill the Primordial Beast Nidhogg has already been scattered through the wind because of the power shown by the enemy. Creepysoo is currently controlling the gigantic skeleton undead at the sacrifice of not using his own undead knights.
All the additional health and strength of the gigantic skeleton is due to the fact that his undead knights’ own souls were used as catalysts. This would not mean that his undead knights will no longer be revived but they cannot be revived while the gigantic skeleton is active. Also, if the gigantic skeleton dies, Creepysoo’s undead knights will also be unable to be summoned for quite a while.
This is basically Creepysoo’s gamble in this fight as this will be his ultimate card against the Primordial Beast Nidhogg. Fortunately, Hexy is also present which lessens the burden that he carries in controlling the gigantic skeleton. She even made sure that there would be cursed armor on the gigantic skeleton which increased its durability even more against the Primordial Beast Nidhogg.
Of course, the summoning of the gigantic skeleton did not come without a price. The pre-requisite to even summon such a large undead is to have at least a million dead bodies in an area. Fortunately for them, the Primordial Beast Nidhogg created numerous dead bodies in the entire area. The players also revived again and died again which also counted for another count of the dead body requirement.
If Creepysoo could summon such a powerful undead in the start then they might have had an easier time forcing the Primordial Beast Nidhogg to use its second phase. Creepysoo is basically sharing his senses with the skeleton giant as he is mirroring its movement. He is currently controlling it via Soul Puppetry. If he makes the skeleton giant move on its own then it might just use skills without stop.
[The Skeleton Giant (Mutant) has gained the Knuckle Breaker skill.]
[The Skeleton Giant (Mutant) has gained the Bony Slam skill.]
[The Skeleton Giant (Mutant) has gained the Tectonic Skeletal Crush.]
All three skills of the skeleton giant do not require mana but it does use up its large pool of health per cast.

The Knuckle Breaker skills is simple on practice but incredibly versatile and powerful if the Skeleton Giant is summoned with a large pool of health. Currently, the Skeleton Giant actually has a hundred million health points which means its own punch deals a million in true damage. With this skill alone, this makes the Skeleton Giant a major game changer.

Another straightforward skill for the Skeleton Giant as it basically rams its body to the target. It will also regenerate some of the health loss if there is no being that got collided. Still, this skill is also troublesome since it could basically kill the Skeleton Giant if it just collides with a pillar that is the same size as its body.

-Bring down the hardest bone of the Skeleton Giant’s body and deal 20,000% of the Skeleton Giant’s Physical Damage and 10% of the Skeleton Giant’s Maximum Health as True Damage. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The last skill of the Skeleton Giant is basically its hardest hitting skill but also the one that can get it killed if it is not used carefully. It can also miss which means 20% health will be lost for nothing which means Creepysoo needs great support in making sure that this skill lands. The Primordial Beast Nidhogg might be large but it is incredibly agile.
"I need support! Make sure that the Primordial Beast Nidhogg has restrained movement!" Creepysoo stated via the guild alliance chat which many complied.
All of the guild alliance members that are still alive has decided to use skills to make the Primordial Beast Nidhogg be confined in a small area. Even if elemental magic is ineffective against it, terrain altering magic can hinder its movement. Fortunately for the Creepysoo, one of the hands of the Skeleton Giant is firmly gripping on the tail of the Primordial Beast Nidhogg.
The Primordial Beast Nidhogg roared towards the Skeleton Giant but what it met is the clutched bony fists of the former. The Skeleton Giant used its first skill called Knuckle Breaker and hit the Primordial Beast Nidhogg directly on the head. The force of that hit is so great that a shockwave even occurred in the direction where the punch was thrown.
Unfortunately, the punch also resulted in the Skeleton Giant losing grip over the Primordial Beast Nidhogg’s tail. One could also see that the Skeleton Giant’s bony fist that punched the enemy has suddenly gotten cracks. Fortunately for Creepysoo, the black thorns that Hexy created slithered towards the hands of the Skeleton Giant and filled it with miasma to heal it back completely.
The bony eye sockets of the Skeleton Giant lit with brighter miasmic flames as it also responds to Creepysoo’s emotional changes. Without having the Primordial Beast Nidhogg recovering from being staggered, Creepysoo already activated the next skill and used Bony Slam. The body of the Skeleton Giant suddenly became covered in miasmic flames as it slammed towards the Primordial Beast Nidhogg.
[You have dealt considerable damage to the Primordial Beast Nidhogg.]
[The miasmic flames touched the skin of the Primordial Beast Nidhogg. It has been cursed with Enfeeble.]
Creepysoo is not shocked that the Primordial Beast Nidhogg got cursed because he knows how powerful Hexy’s control over curses and miasma are. She can literally curse another person by saying a few words on their foot imprint. What more can she do if there is contact with the miasma that she herself controls.
Seeing the Primordial Beast Nidhogg get staggered once again, Creepysoo proceeded to use the last skill since he found a great opportunity. The head of the Skeleton Giant suddenly shined brightly as if its skeletal head was polished until it became shiny. The Skeleton Giant even held the head of the Primordial Beast Nidhogg to make sure that this attack is a direct hit.
Just as the Skeleton Giant is about to headbutt the Primordial Beast Nidhogg, the latter has suddenly recovered from the shock. The scaled body of the Primordial Beast Nidhogg suddenly glowed brighter which actually started from the tail. From the tail, the light traveled to its back until it reached its head which made its mouth glow as well. Without even a wind up or a power up time, the Primordial Beast Nidhogg blasted the head of the Skeleton Giant with its Elemental Rupture Breath.
The Elemental Rupture Breath looked like it is a blast of pale blue energy that can disintegrate anything. Even with the Primordial Beast Nidhogg blasting the Skeleton Giant with its breath attack, Creepysoo gritted his teeth and slammed the head of the skeleton giant without missing a beat. He did not care that the Skeleton Giant lost a chunk of its health from the attack as everything hinges on the fact that his attack lands on the Primordial Beast Nidhogg.
A large crack on the Skeleton Giant’s skull was created as soon as it collided with the Primordial Beast Nidhogg’s head but it also dealt great damage to the enemy. The Primordial Beast Nidhogg staggered once again but the problem is that it did not stop with its breath attack. Those that were unlucky enough to get hit by its breath attack were reduced to ashes. Even the ground itself was scorched until nothing could grow or sustain life.
The Primordial Beast Nidhogg recovered once again but it suddenly noticed that its main adversary now is recovering. Black thorns slithered towards the cracked skull of the Skeleton Giant and fixed the cracks. Even if the used-up health of the Skeleton Giant was not fully restored, the healing it provides is still a good amount to keep it fighting.
The only problem now is that the Primordial Beast Nidhogg managed to trace where the miasma was flowing from. It then looked towards the black rose where Hexy is currently in an immobile state. The Primordial Beast Nidhogg did not even hesitate as it went on all fours before blasting an Elemental Rupture Breath towards Creepysoo and Hexy’s location.
