Chapter 1369

If Negris were here, he might have followed up by asking what kind of ultimate move that was, but unfortunately, he wasn't.

After Ang put them down, they had shared Ang's vision, but when the Trick Tree appeared, they were kicked out by Ang to prevent their consciousness from being severed by the consciousness cage.

Ang couldn't be bothered to ask; instead, he tore at the space in front of him with both hands, wanting to open a spatial rift.

However, the moment the spatial rift opened, Ang's hands immediately felt a violent vibration, and the spatial rift shattered rapidly.

Ang immediately warned: "King, space, shattered."

The King said without looking back: "I know. I couldn't jump out just now either. What do we do now?"

The King asked this not because he didn't know what to do, but because he was worried about Ang.

Ang was currently in his avatar state, and the appearance of the Trick Tree put Ang in a very unsafe situation; he needed to know what Ang was going to do so he could coordinate easily.

If it were just himself, he could just fight his way out, but Ang could also transform into a Star Skeleton, so maybe they should just fight their way out together.

The thought had just arisen when he noticed Ang's aura weakening rapidly. Looking back, he saw Ang had already transformed back into his original Star God body.

If Negris were still here, he would have calculated that Ang's transformation duration this time reached forty-six seconds, much longer than the first time. But the King hadn't seen Ang's first transformation and assumed Ang was exhausted, so he said: "Perfect, attach yourself to me, and we'll charge out."

The King hadn't seen Ang's preparations, so he was constantly worried that Ang would have his connection severed by the consciousness cage. He didn't even talk about hacking it to death, rarely saying things like "charge out."

Ang shook his head and said: "King, find the Trick Tree, I throw you, over."

"Ah, what do you mean?" The King was a bit confused.

Ang scratched his head in distress and explained with difficulty, taking a long time to make the King understand his meaning: "You mean find the Trick Tree's consciousness? When it retreats, you throw me over along its consciousness?"

Ang nodded. He had already used this move once on the Trick Tree, and the Trick Tree was already on guard, so until now, it hadn't shown itself in the Trick Tree's intent.

But it couldn't stay hidden forever. How could it subdue Ang and the King relying only on those gelatinous fluids? It would eventually need to attack actively and lock onto targets with its intent, and that would be Ang's chance to lock onto its consciousness.

"Good, how do we do it?" He also knew Ang had many tricks; if he brought it up actively, he must have some confidence. Coordinating was enough.

Ang said: "Hack it."

"Good." This was truly great, exactly what the King wanted. He didn't have as many tricks as Ang, but hacking people was what he was best at.

However, before he could act, the gelatinous fluid suddenly broke open into countless holes, and one Black Crystal Skeleton after another crawled in from within the gelatinous fluid.

Seeing these Black Crystal Skeletons, Ang subconsciously looked at the King, because they looked exactly like the King.

Humans looking at dwarves feel that, except for the beards, every dwarf looks exactly the same; dwarves looking at humans are the same, and it's even harder to distinguish skeletons.

But the subtle differences in each skeleton were so obvious to Ang and the King. These Black Crystal Skeletons looked exactly like the King, as if imprinted by the Star Dome Cloth.

The King himself was also stunned, but quickly said: "They have no increment."

Skeletons can look exactly the same, but without those little stars symbolizing increment, Black Crystal Skeletons can never be Star Skeletons.

However, even if they couldn't be Star Skeletons, they were at least Black Gold Skeletons. With such a large number swarming toward you, the King couldn't help but have a headache: "Where did these guys come from?"

Ang said: "Manifestation."

These Black Crystal Skeletons were clearly manifested by the Mist Whale. Only a Mist Whale possessing a massive amount of Chaos Mist could manifest such a sea of Black Crystal Skeletons.

So this was the Mist Whale's true strength? But why didn't it use this move at the beginning?

Could it be because in outer space, it couldn't restrict Ang and the King's movements? Ang and the King could run, so manifesting them was useless.

Now that there was the Trick Tree's restriction, did this Black Crystal Skeleton sea tactic finally have an environment to be used?

There was no time to think too much. The King summoned the Death Scythe, held the scythe upside down in his left hand, gripped the small black ball in his right hand in front of him, and unleashed a flash.

With a *ding*, the King's scythe hooked onto the skeleton frame of one of the Black Crystal Skeletons, making a crisp sound, but it failed to hook out a soul as imagined.

"These things have no souls." The King warned immediately.

These Black Crystal skeletons actually had no souls? Just like the Trick Tree's Puppet Men, they weren't skeletons at all, but just skeleton frames.

However, controlled by something unknown, these frames were agile, numerous, and swarmed toward the King.

Without souls, the Death Scythe didn't have much effect. The King retracted it backhanded and smashed forward with his other fist.

A Black Crystal Skeleton was smashed away by the King, flying until it crashed into the gelatinous fluid, yet it didn't fall apart.

You have to know that when he encountered those Undead Dragon Men earlier, the King could take one out with a single punch, regardless of whether they were in transformation state or dragon soul state.

But now, hitting a Black Crystal Skeleton solidly failed to smash the opponent apart. The hardness of this Black Crystal Skeleton was also the real deal; it didn't become weaker just because it was manifested.

The King wasn't too surprised. If the opponent was manifesting his body, he knew very well what level of strength it reached.

He lunged at another Black Crystal Skeleton, avoided the attack, grabbed the opponent's ankle, and swung it to smash into another Black Crystal Skeleton.

Once, twice, three times. Not only did the Black Crystal Skeleton he smashed fall apart, but even the Black Crystal Skeleton he grabbed to use as a weapon fell apart.

He continued to lunge at another Black Crystal Skeleton, grabbed its ankle, and the King killed his way into the pile of Black Crystal Skeletons while holding it upside down.

Ang occasionally turned ethereal, following behind the King, and occasionally solidified, releasing various attacks toward the distant gelatinous fluid, wanting to test which attack was most effective against it.

But the vast majority of Ang's attention was still on the King, because he discovered that the King seemed to be quietly improving.

When the King swung the Black Crystal skeleton frame as a weapon, the little stars on his body would actually surge into the Black Crystal skeleton frame like some kind of battle aura.

At first, smashing one enemy would cause the Black Crystal skeleton frame in his hand to fall apart, but later, it would take smashing three or four enemies for the skeleton in his hand to fall apart. By now, the Black Crystal skeleton frame was already flickering with little stars, becoming incomparably sturdy. Smashing it into enemies again left the skeleton in his hand completely intact.

The King also discovered this phenomenon. He immediately dismantled the two leg bones of the skeleton frame, consciously injecting little stars into them, just like injecting battle aura into a weapon, and then swung it out—Increment: Bone Chain Hammer.
