"Crack, crack, crack crack crack—Bang!"
The bones at the back of its neck cracked inch by inch, finally breaking in two from top to bottom! The enormous bull's head crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust!
His head... fell off?
If the skeleton mage were watching this, he would definitely shout, "This is impossible!"
The Bull Demon's entire defense is achieved through its hard bones, meaning it can achieve 30 resilience just by relying on these bones.
30 resilience!
The same resilience as a level 4 Skeleton Executioner!
A single blow shattered the Bull Demon's neck bone?!
How can it be!
If this were a human, I'd eat it!
An Yi landed on the ground, picked up the bull's head, and reached under the skull to extinguish the soul fire.
He tossed it aside and quickly returned to the battlefield where Layton was.
Layton parried the skeleton executioner's attacks one after another, but for some reason, the opponent's attacks were both heavy and strangely fast.
Even though my attributes are no worse than your opponent's, I'm having a very hard time dealing with them!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"
The shield and the giant axe collided with a series of muffled thuds. The opponent was a level four demon, and the goblin centurion's bone shield was also dropped by a level four demon.
After repeated clashes, both the giant axe and the bone shield were damaged!
"Fire Dragon".
"boom--!!"
Suddenly, a pillar of fire struck from the side, hitting the skeleton executioner directly on the head and disrupting his attack rhythm.
Taking advantage of this moment, Layton finally had a chance to catch his breath and quickly stepped back a few paces.
At the same time, Annie returned to his side.
"Has the Bull Demon been dealt with?" Layton glanced at An Yi.
“Yes, I killed the Bull Demon.” Annie answered casually, looking at Layton’s solemn expression. “It seems the Skeleton Executioner is putting a lot of pressure on you.”
“Yeah…!” Layton grinned. “This guy is weird!”
"Hey, An Yi, you better watch out!"
Pay close attention to Chapter 123; I'll only teach it once.
"Something's not right. What is it?" An Yi asked, feigning confusion.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
The other party had recovered and charged towards the two of them.
"ridicule!"
Layton stepped forward and held his shield in front of him.
With another loud bang, he blocked the opponent's attack, but he also looked troubled.
"Its attack... was unexpectedly heavy!"
"How heavy is it?"
A flash of white light appeared in An's hand as the Slime Sword was drawn. A large amount of slime sap spread directly from the axe to the opponent's hands, then to his shoulders, and finally covered the Skeleton Executioner's face.
The skeleton executioner instinctively began to struggle, trying to shake off the slime.
At the same time, Layton said in a deep voice, "If it's 30 points of strength, then my current strength should be higher than that!"
But after fighting him... I felt its power was greater than mine!
At that moment, the skeleton executioner suddenly realized...
It doesn't actually have eyes, nor does it see things with eyes; it senses the enemy's location through its soul.
So it immediately stopped struggling and began to attack again!
An Yi glanced at the location of Lycorina and the other two. Miluko seemed to be locked in a fierce battle with the Screaming Banshee.
However, when he saw a flash on Lycorina, he knew the outcome was already decided.
What he needs to do now is to kill the Skeleton Executioner with Layton as soon as possible.
"boom!!"
The skeleton executioner raised his axe and brought it down. Layton raised his shield to block, but then felt a sudden heaviness, as if a boulder had crashed heavily onto the shield.
Layton didn't know why, despite his superior strength, he was constantly being suppressed by his opponent.
Annie knew that this was actually a passive skill possessed by the Skeleton Executioner.
Passive Skill: Heavy
Skill Description: Enters a [Heavy] state, all movements become heavy.
Whether it's attacking or moving, the Skeleton Executioner always manages to create a lot of noise, thanks to its passive skill.
Therefore, it's not that its power is greater than Layton's, but rather that its attack is accompanied by the [Heavy] status, which makes Layton feel heavy.
Furthermore, "heaviness" is a state, not an actual increase in the weight felt by the individual.
Therefore, it appears to be incredibly fast and powerful.
"Clang!"
An'i symbolically made two cuts on its leg armor, leaving two shallow cuts on its armor. 0《…|
Unlike the Bull Demon, the Skeleton Executioner doesn't have any special mechanics.
In higher-level, larger dungeons, the Skeleton Executioners are just ordinary minions.
In a dungeon of this level, the Bull Demon King is at least an elite monster.
In other words, this skeleton executioner is just a low-level minion with relatively high stats.
Its attack mechanism is... basic attack, basic attack, then basic attack again.
[Sword Hero: Using the Slime Shield, I'll slide its axe to the ground. As soon as it pauses its movements, I can kill it instantly.]
"it is good!"
Layton switched shields without hesitation, replacing his bone shield with a slime shield, but...
"Ok?"
滑？
How do I skate?
"Bang!!"
The heavy axe came crashing down, and Layton was so frightened that he quickly used his hands to block it.
With a loud bang, the giant axe smashed right through the shield made of slime. Layton felt a sharp pain in his hands, and his health dropped by 100 points!
He was so frightened that he took a few steps back, but suddenly, An Yi appeared from the side and rushed towards the skeleton executioner.
"Watch it, I'll only teach it once."
At that moment, the slime sword in An's hand rapidly transformed into the shape of a shield.
Layton exclaimed in surprise: "Wait! Your resilience..."
Even with the bonuses from goblin equipment and [Inspire], An'i's resilience is still less than 20.
If you only rely on this slime, it's completely impossible to block the opponent's attack!
Even Layton, with a tenacity rating of 37, got injured because of this, let alone Annie!
Before it could be stopped, the skeleton executioner's attack had already fallen—
"boom--!!"
Just as the giant axe was about to smash into An Yi, the slime "shield" in his hand suddenly grew larger and taller, and a large amount of slime gushed out.
An Yi twisted to the side and then shoved the slime away, causing the giant axe to slide down and crash to the ground without hurting him in the slightest!
Layton: "???"
He just said... he'll only teach it once?
Who could possibly learn that?!
but……!
"You just said that as long as we make him stop, that's all that matters, right?!" Layton shouted at An'i, who was retreating while dodging the giant axe's attacks.
An Yi didn't speak, but just looked away from a distance.
"it is good!"
Layton smiled confidently.
"Just now! I thought of a super simple method!"
You can simply stop it!
That is--
ridicule!!"
A flash of white light appeared in Layton's hand, and he dismantled the slime shield, then opened his arms towards the skeleton executioner.
"Come on! You bone monster!!"
The taunt took effect, and the Skeleton Executioner stopped attacking An'i and charged toward Layton with murderous intent.
"Haha—good! Just in time!!" Layton spread his legs and tightened his stance.
Clearly, this is not an attempt to escape!
Even An Yi was puzzled. Was he trying to take the hit head-on to create an opportunity for himself to attack?
