Chapter 241 - 241: Wave Of Skeletons



Lin Fan turned to Momonga and asked, "What about the diamond? Is there anything special about that?"

Momonga had already been looking over the diamond when Lin Fan had suddenly remembered it. After looking over it for a bit, he turned back and said, "Call out your Iron Eater Bone Artifact."

​​

"Huh?" Lin Fan was confused when he heard this, but he still called it out in the form of a small dagger which was the easiest form to hold.

Momonga tossed the diamond over which Lin Fan quickly caught before saying, "Have your Iron Eater Bone Artifact absorb it."

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this strange request, but he still plunged the dagger into the diamond without any hesitation. The moment the dagger touched the diamond, it cut right through it and began absorbing the diamond, causing it to continuously shrink until it had completely disappeared.

The moment the Iron Eater Bone Artifact had finished absorbing the diamond, there was a burst of energy that came from it as it suddenly broke through to the next round. Now the Iron Eater Bone Artifact was a high Embryo Soul Realm Artifact.

Lin Fan looked at his Iron Eater Bone Artifact in shock before turning to Momonga.

Momonga nodded with a smile as he looked at the change with the Iron Eater Bone Artifact as if he had already expected this. Seeing Lin Fan looking at him, he said, "What it just absorbed was called a Sea Diamond, it's a rare diamond found at the bottom of the sea, being refined by thousands tons of pressure, creating a super hard diamond. These diamonds are even considered rare in Stellar Kingdoms, so it's no wonder your artifact broke through. I'm actually more surprised that it only broke through a single level."

Lin Fan nodded in response to this.

This was a rare diamond even for a Stellar Kingdom, which meant that it had to be a rare metal, allowing the Iron Eater Bone Artifact to evolve. However, the disappointing thing was that his artifact still didn't form intelligence yet.

Since there was nothing else they could do here unless they wanted to take a risk to get more rewards, they chose to leave through the portal in the end.

When they came out, they went around looking for another test to take.

It didn't take them long before they found one that had caught their eyes.

It was a hard level test, but the points it gave was exactly four hundred and fifty, which meant that they would get one hundred and fifty each. With the one hundred each that they had just received from the steal the diamond test, that would be enough for them to pass this test.

So without waiting any further, they went through the portal and entered the test.

When they came out, they arrived in a cave that was pitch dark except for a few torches on the wall. This was a cave that had nothing else in it, however the moment they arrived, there was a tremble that came from the ground.

Looking into the distance, they saw a mass of white bones charging right at them.

The name of this test had been Survive a Horde of Skeletons and as the name implied, they had to find a way to survive the wave of skeletons that was charging at them.

But this time, they didn't bother using intelligence and chose to use brute force instead. Momonga and Lin Fan both stood back and watched as Angela charged right into the wave of skeletons.

She used her blades of wind to cut down each and every single skeleton that had stood in her way. Even though the skeletons were wearing armour and had weapons, they couldn't do a single thing as she crushed her way through them.

Each one of these skeletons was a Soul Realm Expert, with the ones that were further back being stronger than the ones in front. However, none of that mattered since Angela was finally able to use her full strength.

Angela was an Overlord, which was equal to a Ruler, who was actually at a higher level of cultivation than the Kings of the Stellar Kingdom. Being two full realms of cultivation above these skeletons, she could crush them easily with a wave of her hand.

While she was only one person, she was a match for this entire army of skeletons. This wasn't a case where an expert couldn't fight an army, the army was the one that was unable to do a thing to this supreme expert.

She quickly pushed her way through the entire horde of skeletons until she finally reached the end where there was a single skeleton on a throne waiting for her.

This skeleton was clearly different from the other skeletons.

One, instead of having ash white bones, it had bones that were completely dark like they were made of obsidian. Two, the armour and weapon that this skeleton had had a completely different aura from the rest of the skeletons.

But even though that was the case, it still stood no chance in the face of Angela.

With a single slash from a blade of wind, she cut through the chain link of mace flail that the skeleton had, sending that mace head flying into the wall. The second blade of wind that she sent out completely cut through the neck of the skeleton, sending the head of the skeleton flying.

However, even with its head gone, the skeleton didn't stop since its soul flame was never in its head.

The skeleton continued swinging the handle part of the flail mace at Angela, but that was shut down immediately with another blade of wind.

The blades of wind continued shooting out until the skeleton had been cut into pieces and its soul flame had been extinguished.

Once this final skeleton had been taken care of, the portal had appeared by the throne.

This clearly wasn't how this test had been designed, since this was after all a test of intelligence.

While Angela had been cutting down the skeletons, Momonga hadn't been idle. He had taken one of the torches from off the wall and had brought it towards one of the bones dropped by a dead skeleton, it had melted the bone away. As he held the torch, he also found that the torch was slowly burning away, meaning that there was a time limit to each torch.

Momonga went over to the next torch and he walked at a moderate pace towards the following torch, finding that there was just enough time for a torch to reach the next torch before it burnt out.

Finally, he came over to where the throne was and found that there were several more torches there compared to along the hallway. As well, when he brought the torch over to the black bones of the skeleton, he saw that it melted at a much slower pace compared to the white bones.

Judging from all of this, it was clear that the participants of this test were supposed to use the torches on the walls to take care of the skeletons and clear the path to the end. At the end, they would have had to use the torches around the throne to take care of the final skeleton before passing this test.

However, that didn't matter since Angela had used absolute force to break through this test without caring for the design.

That was one of the privileges that came with being a supreme expert, there was no need to play by the rules.

Of course, they didn't leave right away since there was still the reward that they gained from passing the test.

When Lin Fan was about to pick up the scattered artifacts along the way, they suddenly disappeared. All that was left in the path was a bunch of bones dropped by the skeletons.

Lin Fan's happy look immediately fell since he had thought that he would be getting a bunch of Soul Realm Artifacts, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Momonga revealed a smile when he saw this and he said, "Did you really think that they would give you close a thousand Soul Realm Artifacts just for passing this small test? Still, it's good enough that they gave you the bones. After all, those are bones that are filled with Soul Realm laws."

Lin Fan was sad at first, but hearing what Momonga said in the end, his eyes lit up again.

That was right, these were bones that were filled with Soul Realm laws, which meant that they could either be used as ingredients or materials for crafting artifacts. Even if he didn't get the artifacts themselves, getting the materials to make more was at least a form of consolation.

Lin Fan quickly went through the tunnel to go back to the entrance, picking up all the bones that had been scattered by Angela.

When he finished, he realized that he had picked up close to ten thousand pieces of Soul Realm ingredients since each skeleton had dropped at least a hundred bones.

Normally humans had two hundred and six bones in their body, but Angela had been a bit too rough with them when she crushed all these skeletons.

After picking up everything, Lin Fan then remembered the black skeleton as well.

When he came over to the black skeleton remains and picked up the bones, his eyes lit up once again.

He could tell from the concentration of energy in these bones that they were above the Soul Realm. They were clearly in the Star Realm that was above the Soul Realm.

Feeling happy with his gains, Lin Fan headed back into the main room with Angela and Momonga again.
