Ahhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below them, the Tank was struggling frantically, trying to stop himself from sinking deep into the crimson sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help,\" the captain tried to call out, but before he could complete his statement, more Siltbound Penitents appeared from the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wail!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, all the Siltbound Penitent beasts let out sorrowful, soul piercing wails.

Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed forward and unsheathed his broadsword in one smooth motion.

Cressida took out her staff and began to chant spells..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Spellcaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, a powerful flame appeared out of thin air and flew toward the Siltbound Penitents at breathtaking speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Siltbound Penitents were pushed back, and their bodies were scorched black by the flames. But the creatures did not stop their advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, their wails increased in volume along with their growing numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help,\" the Tank cried from below, but everyone was too busy fighting to care about his desperate pleas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunter moved between the battles, attacking the beasts and then retreating to safety. Sometimes, he would quickly set up a trap that pushed the creatures down the slanted hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only person who was not actively fighting was their healer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held her staff tightly, her eyes darting back and forth across the battlefield as she tried to cast her healing spells as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We cannot continue like this,\" the hunter shouted, barely evading a deadly mud slam from one of the creatures. \"Their numbers are not decreasing at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not need to tell the others about their dire situation. Everyone could feel the massive pressure weighing down on their shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cressida gritted her teeth, increasing her spell casting speed despite the growing strain. From the corner of her eyes, she turned and looked at Thoren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened slightly at what she saw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknown to her, she was not the only one who was looking at the mysterious figure in the black robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain creased his brow and thought deeply. He could not understand Thoren’s profession or fighting style at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with their current precarious situation, he did not think about it too much. Survival was all that mattered now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he prepared to cleave another Siltbound Penitent into two pieces, a muddy hand gripped his legs, slowing down his movement drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could realize what was happening, one of the Siltbound Penitents slammed its claw into his chest with tremendous force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp cry of pain escaped from his lips. Thanks to his sturdy armor, he was only slightly injured by the blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful of their mud traps,\" he warned the others, wiping off the traces of blood from the corner of his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Thoren, he stood calmly at the back of the group while one of his elite undead servants fought the Siltbound Penitents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a High Bronze Grade weapon in its hands, each strike from the undead cleaved the creatures apart with terrifying ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Siltbound Penitents tried to use their wailing curse on Thoren’s undead, but it was completely futile. The undead had nothing to fear and no spirit to weaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, the penitent fell gradually under the relentless assault. To stop them from regenerating their health, Thoren commanded his undead to target their heads specifically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether mud or stone, each skull was shattered to pieces by the powerful strike. Against the undead servant, all the creature’s traits and skills were completely useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fully armed with High Bronze Grade, the Siltbound Penitent stood absolutely no chance against Thoren’s minion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Thoren and his undead servant were having an easier time, the others were struggling greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of them were covered in fresh bruises and shallow wounds. Thanks to their healer’s constant efforts, they had not lost anyone to the creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[AN: Please support this book with your golden ticket and power stones.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Message Chair +1 Chapter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon +2 Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic Castle +5 Chapters]]\u003C\u002Fp>",1109,"2026-06-03T10:41:31.767Z","2026-06-03T10:41:38.604Z",1,"novelbin.me","771302d85665bd786709319cff0238e0d87d0ed6bd693915237bedc4a9407b8d","global-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-chapter-242","global-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-chapter-240",326,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-cover.jpg"]
