Before she became a hero, she was blind, unable to see, weak, helpless, and pitiful.
But now, she is everyone's eyes; she must observe everything around her.
No one can guarantee that the enemy won't appear, let alone when they will.
Right now, three members of the team are resting, which is when their defense is at its weakest.
What if the enemy launches a surprise attack now?
She didn't even want to think about how bad things would get if Karen also took a break.
She had to stay awake; she had to be everyone's eyes.
Even though she was just as exhausted.
Time continued to pass, and neither side showed any intention of compromising.
Whether it's Any or Vittorio.
Vittori is waiting for their magic to run out.
Any, on the other hand, was waiting for Vittori to lose his patience.
Judging from the opponent's posture, An Yi knew that the opponent was a necromancer in one of his forms.
Necromancer: King of Bones
Before encountering this boss, a large number of skeleton soldiers will appear in the scene.
Once all the skeletons have been cleared, the player watches helplessly as their health bars disappear and they turn into a pile of "corpses".
These skeletons will rise again and attack the player once more.
These skeletons have no health bar and can regenerate infinitely. No matter if the player uses normal attacks or large-scale magic to destroy them, they will rise again.
Players don't have slime swords, so they'll just watch as hordes of skeletons surround their character and eventually overwhelm them.
And only then does the BOSS battle truly begin!
A necromancer animation will appear on the screen, saying something like "Feel the fear of being overwhelmed by death!", followed by an unavoidable full-screen attack.
The attack damage isn't high; it's just the amount of health you're bound to lose in the story, which can be easily recovered with a small health potion.
That is to say...
Players don't actually need to do anything. Just wait for the skeletons to swarm in, save your mana for the BOSS to appear, and that's it.
This is also the strategy that An Yi is currently adopting.
The boss will show up eventually; it's just a matter of time.
Chapter 129 The Fear Overwhelmed by Death
Two and a half hours have passed.
After only half an hour, Vittori was already struggling to stand.
Why...why hasn't the magic circle broken yet?
Could it really be as that human said, that they don't need to expend any magic power?!
It uses ghosts as its eyes and can know the current state of those humans.
To this day, three of the five humans inside have fallen asleep.
Two of them were awake, a man and a woman who were probably mages, while the woman who had just killed eight level-three undead was asleep.
It still clung to that last sliver of hope, thinking that the woman must have fallen into a deep sleep because she had exhausted a lot of magic.
The other two's magic power should also be running out; they're just barely holding on.
It'll be soon...it'll be soon!
These humans are about to collapse!
Once this magic circle shatters, Vittoria will show them what despair and fear truly are!
...fear. (The text appears to be a fragmented collection of characters and symbols, possibly related to a fish or a carp.)
fear……
It's been three hours...
The little girl, faster than the Screaming Banshee, has woken up.
...I'm getting anxious!
Vittori is really in a hurry!
Why does the opponent still have the energy to maintain this magic array?!
If the woman who killed the spirit wakes up next, wouldn't that extend the magic circle for a while longer?!
And now... that man and woman haven't rested yet, they must have already consumed a lot of magic power.
The white-haired woman has not yet woken up... and her magic power should not have fully recovered either.
"It's about time," Vittori said calmly.
"Lord, these humans' magic has not yet been exhausted, now..." The skeleton mage wanted to say something.
"Now?
Now!
Now! This is when these people are most vulnerable!
They certainly didn't expect that they had already seen through their fragile nature!
……
"Gala, gala gala gala—"
Suddenly, the sound of bones colliding came from outside the barrier formed by slime swords.
Although it had been there all along, this time it was clearly moving much faster, like...
At first, these skeletons were controlled, and they stood up as a group.
At that moment, the slime sword barrier moved, pushing Layton's shield forward, causing Layton to fall to the ground and wake up instantly.
As Jiu retracted the waterbed formed by the slime swords, Lycorina fell to the ground with a thud. The sudden feeling of weightlessness startled her awake.
It seemed to hurt, but it wasn't a real fall. She's got eight points of resilience now!
“Something’s happened, everyone get up,” An Yi said calmly. “Princess Karen, what’s going on outside?”
Karen frowned: "This is... these bones are moving!"
4. They began to scatter... no, they began to gather.
The third point she referred to as "dispersal" was that all the skeletons no longer maintained their original shape and began to separate.
And gathering...
Ling is when these separated bones begin to gather in a certain direction!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Just then, blue flames burst forth one after another above the entire hall, rapidly turning the entire hall into a deep blue.
What's burning is the skull!
They were skulls enveloped in blue flames!
At that moment, everyone saw the bones that had been encasing them begin to gather in mid-air above the hall, starting to form...
A big hand!
The giant hand was still in the process of forming, when suddenly it slammed down towards the direction where the five people were—
"boom!!"
A large number of bones flew out of the giant hand, along with a large layer of slime. The original slime barrier was now wide open!
We can't keep hiding here!
Before they could escape, the giant hand slammed down again—
"Your Highness the Saint."
"it is good!"
"boom--!!"
With another loud bang, the giant arm made of countless bones slammed directly into the slime and the golden semi-circular barrier, scattering the bones everywhere.
"boom!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!!"
As if not wanting to give them any chance to breathe, the hand made of white bones slammed down again and again, the bones scattering and then quickly reforming into the middle of the arm.
The attacks came wave after wave, and what was originally just a giant hand outside had now formed a gigantic upper body skeleton!
The large hands multiplied from one to two, taking turns striking in the direction of the five people! ＿±∠÷—
"I apologize for taking the time to mourn my loyal subordinate."
At that moment, a voice came from the hall. Its tone was not loud, but the sound was so loud that it echoed throughout the entire hall.
Even amidst the intense attack, the five could still hear each other speaking.
"I never expected that my loyal subordinates would be no match for a few humans like you."
As rats that have entered the castle, and cockroaches that can get into anything, I admit you are very strong.
but……
That's all for now!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
The attacks grew increasingly fierce, and Lycorina's barrier emitted the sound of shattering glass, only to quickly reform itself!
No matter how thickened An's slime sword became, it could only buffer some damage before being scraped away in large chunks by the opponent's attacks.
