Murphy’s Gold Challenge – Trial Edition

King of Bone Biting, that is a character anybody who has studied a hint of history could not mistake.

Although the fourth Black Disaster has been over for a century, the severe damage it brought to the Continent has yet to recover.

Whether it be the Goldenrod Kingdom or Nordtof’s territory, there are many vast, abandoned “No Man’s Lands”; those were places once ravaged by the fourth Black Disaster.

That is a monument of ancient days and history, also a silent indictment of the catastrophe.

During the fourth Black Disaster, Jackal Warlocks once used a vile plague that caused many battle zones across the Continent to this day to be devoid of life.

And no one doubts that in this Black Disaster, the Jackals would do the same thing.

The second time an evil deed is committed, there won’t be any more guilt.

First time might be an accident, but the second time is definitely a choice!

In any case, as the instigator of that disaster which once plagued the entire Continent, the image of the King of Bone Biting must be remembered by posterity.

Both Milian and Colonel Fraser have said that their history textbooks at Charldo Harbor port school had detailed descriptions of the King of Bone Biting’s appearance.

A Jackal of unimaginable size!

It was taller than the strongest Barbarian Soldier, with natural horror claws and teeth that could crush any steel.

The King of Bone Biting boasted the most luxurious fur and the most beautiful tail among the Jackals.

Just from the textbook illustrations, this special Jackal has almost shed its barbaric image.

Anyone from outside races could feel the majesty and the beauty of strength possessed by the King of Bone Biting from those drawings.

These widely circulated illustrations, naturally, could also be found in the library of the Crimson Corridor.

After learning that the Black Disaster was approaching, Murphy had read those books more than once.

He was very familiar with the image of the King of Bone Biting.

But frankly, this “King of Bone Biting” that appeared before his eyes, if not completely different from the legendary image, is certainly not the slightest bit similar.

The “King of the Jackals” below Murphy indeed possessed a massive skeleton, which made it almost as tall as a Cannibal Demon when standing upright.

This was two heads taller than the Jackal Barbarians from the Dark Mountain Range, already considered a “giant breed” among the Jackal race.

If Hog were tossed in front of it, the poor Blood Claw Chief would probably reach only up to the groin of the King of Bone Biting.

The difference was like a sprite to a cast iron can.

But apart from that, the King of Bone Biting no longer had any bit of the “kingly grace” it once possessed.

Its shriveled carcass was filled with god knows what, making its body reinflate violently, but its skin exhibited an unstoppable vile and putrid rot.

One could even see the strange fluorescent lights flashing green and red within some wounds.

The once sharp bone claws of the undead revived were stimulated by a strange power to swell again, making the claws of the King of Bone Biting as horrific as short swords and hook blades.

What’s more fatal was that the claws were entwined with green light.

As if they were enchanted with the effect of “lethal poison +3”.

Moreover, the most distinguishing feature of the King of Bone Biting at this moment was the strange layer of shadow that always enveloped it when it moved.

Murphy was very familiar with this.

This is the “Shadow Cloak” that vampires need to uphold while active in sunlight to avoid being burnt, but the shadow enveloping this King of Bone Biting has become a substantial “domain barrier,” not only to prevent direct sunlight but also to bring enhancement and blessing to this strange corpse in the shadows.

The crimson glow emitting from the eye sockets of the King of Bone Biting’s corpse-like face made it easy to discern its “source of power” at this moment.

Murphy also finally realized where Lame Claw had used the heart of the vampire he purchased from Hog?

This damn Constructor actually transplanted the power of a vampire onto the corpse, and he did it so successfully that the King of Bone Biting, even after revival, also possessed strong vampire characteristics.

It was revived using the heart of a Wolf Poison Vampire, meaning this beast in front of him had the enhancement of the Wolf Bats, making an already tricky creature pose an even stronger threat.

Just by looking at its current confrontation with the Swamp Giant Snake, roaring like a wild beast of death, one knows that Lame Claw, the mad genius, has brought back the power of its living days to this deceased.

Definitely not enough to return this century-old skeleton to the full glory of the Gold Stage, but certainly enough to reach the edge of that level of power.

This was evident from the feedback of the Reconnaissance Magic Murphy cast on the King of Bone Biting:

Name: [King of Bone Biting] Felix·Bone Biter

Rank: Level 40·Gold Body·Sutured Construct

Profession: ???

Status: Soulless Body·Lethal Corrosion·Netherworld Enhancement·Midnight Blessing·Resurrection Weakness

Evaluation: Extremely dangerous

Character Explanation:

[It roars in anger, but that rage is not only because its rest has been disturbed but also because of the helplessness of desecration…

Vampire, send it on its way.]

“Easier said than done!

I, a mere Black Iron Vampire, how am I supposed to send a Gold Stage undead to rest?

Even if it’s just a temporarily awakened soul.”

Murphy bitterly remarked.

But he still drew his staff-sword, ready to intervene in the increasingly fierce battle unfolding.

The Swamp Giant Snake, which should have been able to destroy the Wizard Tower easily with the trickery of the giant egg, has now been entangled, forced by the uncontrollable Goldenrod Skeleton’s mad attacks to sense the threat to its life and to temporarily set aside its maternal instincts.
