Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 377: Chapter 179 Supreme Skeleton_3

Moreover, it possessed a certain degree of self-awareness, craving more limbs, which is why the wild beasts within the city had vanished and why it had actively attacked the people of the Red Dart Commerce.

One dared not imagine what growth this monster might achieve on the battlefield.

If allowed to roam the wilderness, it was feared that humans in villages and settlements alike would become part of it.

At that moment, the headless monster twisted its body, pursuing Li Yelai as he climbed ashore. Fresh limbs or those already reduced to skeletons scrambled rapidly across the ground. It chased Li Yelai with incredible speed, causing onlookers’ sanity to plummet.

Li Yelai suppressed the shock in his heart as the Red Thunder Spear once again manifested within his mimetic Dragon Claw.

Since receiving long-range blessings, Li Yelai’s throwing accuracy had significantly improved, allowing him to instantly calculate factors such as wind direction, gravity, and air resistance. Unless facing an enemy too fast, his shots were unfailingly accurate.

And when combined with the Weakness Perception of his Heavy Pupil, each strike was deadly!

Thus, Li Yelai hurled the Thunder Spear again, following the dark lines to strike the monster, a crimson lightning flashing across the sky, hitting directly at a gap in a giant rib of the outer circle.

The massive spine broke instantly, numerous limbs fell off, losing their vitality. But the monster did not stop its pursuit. Instead, it unfurled pairs of wings from within its flesh - sparrow’s, pigeon’s, and even the wings of a Flying Dragon. They spread and rapidly flapped, lifting the creeping body off the ground for a moment. But the body was far too heavy; it couldn’t take flight.

Li Yelai then slipped the Azure Dragon Halberd into the quiver on his back, freeing his hands to deploy Mimicry·Red Thunder Dragon Claw simultaneously.

One after another, Thunder Spears struck the monster along the dark lines of weakness.

In the desolate city, the sound of thunder exploded incessantly, dismembering the creature’s body little by little. Corpses of various beings littered the monster’s path.

As the outer limbs of the monster became fewer, its Spiritual Power Strength began to rise.

After Li Yelai unleashed the ninth Thunder Spear, most of the creature’s body had lost its activity. Yet from the scattered limbs, stepped forth a figure over two meters tall.

Its body parts, Li Yelai recognized.

It was a Ghost-faced Black Ape from Black Origin City, with a terribly sinister pattern on its chest, thusly named.

A herd-living Extraordinary Creature, with the Spiritual Power Strength of an individual giant ape approximating Second Awakening, with rumors speaking of individuals reaching Third Awakening strength.

But this giant ape was markedly different, missing its head, replaced with the head of a bear. The lower half had disappeared, now replaced by the hindquarters of a horse, making its overall appearance resemble a centaur. No, a Bear-Horse? Ape-Horse?

What truly concerned Li Yelai and Little Mad King was its left arm. The creature was missing its left arm, replaced with a human skeletal arm.

The skeleton was as white as jade, seemingly imbued with Divine Essence. Even years after death, it still contained traces of Spiritual Ability Resonance.

Once other corpses no longer concealed it, this faint Spiritual Ability Resonance, though weak, provoked fear.

At the sight of the skeleton, even Little Mad King’s heart skipped a beat.

She murmured, ”A skeleton of Supreme Level...”

There had been a human Supreme, who fought for humanity in this city and ultimately perished.

After the battle, humans were unable to find his skeleton, settling to bury his broken Battle Armor and erect a symbolic grave in Lava Mine City.

”So it is... My apologies.” Li Yelai also sighed softly, ”Supreme Vast, your excellency.”
