oblivious to the cataclysmic changes shaking the ancient city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, nothing beyond the chamber mattered to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His situation did not allow even a fleeting thought of escape or distraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Survival was his only concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the terrifying monster standing before him and forcefully swallowed the lump lodged in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humanoid creature towered at over three meters tall, its overwhelming presence pressing down on the chamber like an invisible weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its long serpentine tail coiled lazily around its waist, moving with subtle intelligence, like a living sentinel waiting for blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two crimson horns jutted from its head, pulsing faintly, slowly, rhythmically, like a heartbeat made of flesh and malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its claws elongated before Thoren’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deadlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each finger ended in a blade capable of tearing steel apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its muscles were stone-hard, tightly packed and dense, as though sculpted by an ancient artisan who knew only destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power radiated from every inch of its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, deliberately, the monster turned its gaze toward Thoren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes locked onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A devilish grin crept across its face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren’s muscles stiffened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every strand of hair on his body stood on end as a primal fear surged through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could hear the heavy pounding of his own heart, each beat echoing loudly in his ears, drowning out everything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[???]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 18]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren’s pupils constricted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster’s name had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—its very existence had shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although its level remained the same, Thoren knew better than to believe it was unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever stood before him now was no longer just a high-ranking Stonewall being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something else entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something ancient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something bloodthirsty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster began to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each step echoed like a war drum within the chamber, shaking the ground beneath Thoren’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep cracks spread outward from every footprint, spiderwebbing across the stone floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your soul is the purest I’ve ever seen...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice boomed throughout the chamber, heavy and suffocating, shaking the very foundations of the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It did not come from the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren knew that instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze snapped toward the far end of the chamber, landing on the faceless statue standing silently in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The voice belongs to the statue,’ he realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did not dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, only one thing mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren drew in a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, forcing himself to regain control over his scattered emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear gnawed at his mind, but he refused to let it consume him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can do this...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Nothing can stop me... not even this ancient monster.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every repetition of the thought, his confidence grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The oppressive mental pressure radiating from the creature began to weaken, fading little by little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the monster first transformed, its horrifying aura had nearly crushed his will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren’s eyes blazed with fierce fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I can take it down once, I can do it again.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His determination hardened like steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He locked eyes with the monster, and a confident grin slowly crept across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s do this,\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he sent a mental command through his undead space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening, feral howl erupted as Thoren’s undead legion surged forward, flooding the chamber in a tide of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Je! Je! Je!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster laughed grotesquely as it watched the undead rush toward it, its amusement unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, it vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air where it had stood exploded outward as a violent gust swept through the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren gasped sharply, his eyes widening in shock at the inhuman speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chamber trembled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust rained down from the ceiling, chunks of stone crashing onto the floor as if the structure itself were on the verge of collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster had already appeared at the center of the undead legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It began to slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each swing of its claws ripped through dozens of undead minions, their bodies torn apart midair before shattering into dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bones exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flesh disintegrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air filled with debris and dark mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its tail moved like a living weapon, independent of its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It pierced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It cleaved through undead minions like a cold, merciless blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The devastation was absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren retreated instinctively from the shockwave, his heart pounding violently against his ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breath came in sharp, uneven bursts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he issued another command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no time to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No time to plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster was closing in—fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Level 16 Undead High Nobles charged head-on, leading the assault. Level 13 and Level 14 undead attacked from both flanks, their weapons gleaming and their eyes burning with soul fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren’s eyes widened in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Level 16 Undead High Nobles were sent flying backward with a single palm strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their chests caved inward, deep claw marks tearing through their bodies. For a brief moment, they lay motionless, their soul flames flickering violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power behind that strike was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Level 13 and Level 14 undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of them were severed cleanly by the monster’s tail, their bodies exploding into stone fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What kind of ability is that?’ Thoren cursed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, realization struck him like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was how the humans in the ancient city had been turned into stone statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The work of an ancient being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, surrender never crossed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead stone warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were immune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although some had been shattered, three still stood their ground, unaffected by the petrifying force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile tugged at the corner of Thoren’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the corner of his eye, he saw the two Level 16 Undead High Nobles slowly rising back to their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Let’s end this,’ he thought coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, he withdrew most of the remaining undead into his undead space, leaving only the undead stone warriors behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Je!

Je!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster’s grin widened as it saw this, its feral eyes locking onto Thoren as if victory was already within its grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air trembled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four powerful presences materialized inside the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Level 16 Undead High Noble Warriors stood tall, radiating overwhelming deathly aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One wielded the Black Ember Ironblade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword hummed softly, its blackened surface glowing faintly with ember-red light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren’s eyes gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real battle had just begun.\u003C\u002Fp>",1104,"2026-06-03T10:41:31.766Z","2026-06-03T10:41:38.603Z",1,"novelbin.me","abde8c57f1bffdda88041d992dc9d74647b20992949202b54ca5f5ed35c02549","global-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-chapter-58","global-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-chapter-56",326,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-cover.jpg"]
