Novel Full 886 Den Of Bones Artefact
I came here not to kill these jerks, I came here to destroy this weapon. And I had to do it before any unforeseen thing would happen.
“Keep firing that bastard and don’t let it run away,” I waved my arms as I summoned all my dragons here. “Go on their backs and start cornering that damn thing. Don’t let it come near that orb or pillar, or near anything.”
“Yes, lord!”
This was the first time ever for me to do such an arrangement. It was a mimicking act of what my dragon rider girls did. Yet the latter were just delivering messages, and my dragon rider fallen gods would deliver death and devastation.
As I got rid of this little annoyance, I went closer to inspect the next and orb.
I gotta see it more clearly now. The bones I saw from far away weren’t truly bones. They were made out of bones, but they seemed to coalesce together, to form a denser form of new bones there.
They got entangled together in such a way that gave me the impression they grew up from the ground to be in such form.
I then looked up at the orb. It seemed peaceful and weak, but I knew inside it was a deadly amount of energy, enough to threaten anyone’s life, even mine.
“Hmm… It’s better to take the nest out first,” I knew doing anything or trying to touch that orb was going to cause a deadly reaction.
The safest step for now was to try and take that nest down.
I looked and from this close distance I could see the nest expanding under the ground. This damn thing was forming the entire backbone of the entire hall, if not for the entire pocket world.
How to get it? Simple! Just a simple touch and I got the message I waited for.
[Warning! You got in touch with the den of bones artefact!]
[Warning! The den of bones is trying to devour your body and bones]
[Warning! Your class prevented this]
[Warning! Your class can allow you to absorb the bones stored inside this artefact]
[You got two choices to select from… One is to use your soul class ability to devour bones. But this will be a long and slow process]
[Or… You can sacrifice one hundred million souls to upgrade the devour ability and turn it into the turbo mode]
Turbo mode? Damn! This system… “Are you this greedy for my souls?” I couldn’t help but laugh, “Alright, take one hundred million souls out, and let this thing get devoured instead of devouring others.”
I laughed when I saw the system message. I got that these messages weren’t just naturally formed. Someone must be sitting behind the screen and sending all these messages over to me.
And like I thought, if the system left me with my current abilities, I would fail eventually to take down this thing.
A den of bones? That was something interesting indeed. It reminded me of the den of heroes. That den also required the dead bodies of mighty heroes to work.
But this one devoured people directly. I waited for the system to do the upgrade while I felt a little heat inside my chest.
It was working! But it seemed to be time to get done.
I looked at the orb of light while feeling some sort of excitement.
This nest of bones was actually an artefact! So why not that orb would also be one? And on top of it, it was something that could turn anyone into their soul form.
Damn! It was a treasure I wanted, desperately wanted. Like this, I would never worry about souls anymore.
Paying one hundred million souls? This might have been a great problem for me in the past. But from this world alone, I gained billions! I had over five billion souls stored inside my class!
One hundred million? Hahahaha! It was now a change! Hahahaha!
[The souls are sacrificed and your devour ability now got the turbo mode]
[You can start devouring in three… Two… One… Now!]
Damn fierce! The moment that countdown reaches zero, I felt like my hand turned into a black hole!
Lots of dots of lights flashed fast and entered into my hand. I couldn’t even see any content of the huge number of messages that appeared in front of my eyes, flashing like they were crazy.
This… This was crazy! I never experienced such a thing before.
I thought my ability was a beast, but this turbo thing was the real damn beast!! I looked at the immense number of light dots of several colours, not knowing what to do but laugh.
*Rumble!*
But just in less than five minutes, the first reaction from that nest started.
It came from nowhere else but the ground! All of sudden, lots of bones appeared, piercing the ground all around, curved in air like they were woven from silk and not hard bones, and came at me like they were deadly spears.
“Do you think you can get me with such a pathetic attack? Come!” I instantly summoned my chariot, and the next instant it came and landed fiercely beside me.
All the bones around got shattered under the effect of my chariot’s shield. And those coming from far slammed heavily against my shield, exploding in such a fierce way, without leaving a single mark behind.
“Hahahaha! You aren’t tired? Bringing more? Fine, keep coming until I get you all cleansed empty from any bone you got in there damn artefact.”
Just as the first wave failed, more followed. This time, it felt like the entire world around me got shrunk over me, turning all into spears of bones and attacking my chariot’s shield from all directions.
This time the attack was stronger, but all it left behind was such faint cracks that instantly got repaired.
The fight escalated to such a fierce degree as this artefact finally felt the threat coming from my hand. As it kept coming at me fiercely with everything it got, I just laughed and kept taunting it to come again.
