Chapter 91

"Thud!"

The arrow shot by Old Walker flew through the air and landed on a pile of rocks not far from the bone giant, making a slight sound. At this moment, the bone giant, which had already planned to leave, suddenly stopped, then quickly turned its head. The two eyes emitted an unparalleled brilliant light, illuminating the pile of rocks in front of it. Under such a light, even a mouse would find it hard to escape its gaze.

Blessed by the Holy Soul!

Old Walker couldn't help but swallow hard. He didn't expect this huge creature to react so sensitively. Logically, such a large creature would find it difficult to react to weak sounds around it. But this terrifying and huge monster could hear such a small sound and react so quickly, which was truly frightening! Just as he was inwardly alarmed, he heard Rod's deliberately lowered reminder.

"Step back."

Led by Rod, Old Walker and he slowly retreated, taking more than ten steps before stopping again. Then, under Rod's command, Old Walker drew his bow and shot another arrow. As before, the arrow did not hit the target but landed in the distance.

The bone giant slowly approached.

From a distance, it seemed to move very slowly, but this was just a visual illusion caused by its massive size. From afar, the bone giant had only taken a few steps, but it was already in front of everyone. It opened its mouth, and a deep roar emerged from the dark depths where no vocal organs could be used, carrying an evil of death. It bent down, the light circles in its eyes sweeping around, searching for any suspicious signs.

Rod raised a finger.

This was a signal.

Marin raised her ruby staff, a dark gray light flashed from it, then turned into a straight line, shooting towards the giant. Then, a gray, dim semi-circular barrier appeared in the air, like a birdcage, enveloping the bone giant. It flashed and disappeared, seemingly having no effect. But a magical line that appeared from the void and connected to Marin's staff revealed the truth.

In an instant, all sounds vanished, as if a transparent giant had opened its mouth and swallowed all the sounds in the world.

"Thirty seconds!"

Marin held her staff, maintaining the spell's effect while loudly reminding everyone. The duration of the Silence Spell varied from person to person, and for such a large monster, thirty seconds was already the limit.

At this moment, Rod, Selia, and Serek charged forward.

"!!!"

The bone giant, sensing something amiss, raised its head. The first thing it saw was an angel with wings, surrounded by a holy light. This holy power made it feel uncomfortable and angry. The bone giant opened its mouth and roared, raising the large hammer in its hand. The thick white bone hammer whistled through the air and, upon hitting the nearby valley, shattered several large rocks, which rolled down the cliff and landed heavily. But none of this made a sound, the absurdity of it all making it seem like a silent film.

Selia's silver longsword swung down from the air, striking the bone giant's hammer. Although the Silence Spell swallowed the sound, the sparks flying from the collision showed the intensity of the battle. The powerful impact made the angel in mid-air wobble, but she quickly flapped her wings to deflect most of the force. The bone giant, clearly unwilling to give up, took a half-step forward, roaring and raising its hammer, trying to crush the winged bird that emitted an unpleasant aura, like swatting a fly.

But it didn't succeed.

The spinning blade of destruction hit the bone giant's arm, forcing its attack to change direction, passing by Selia. The strong air current from the impact made the angel wobble, but she managed to avoid being smashed into a pulp. The bone giant lowered its head and saw Rod, who had appeared at its feet.

"!!!"

Being provoked twice made the bone giant even angrier. As a death knight's subordinate, the bone giant wasn't a smart creature. Its only purpose was to destroy life, and only then did it feel a brief satisfaction. But the long-lasting emptiness that followed made it even more painful and angry, until it found another outlet.

And now, it had found its target. The bone giant turned around, raised its hammer again, and Rod stepped back, trying to escape. But at that moment, the hammer whistled through the air and smashed down.

At this moment, pure white light descended from the sky, enveloping the bone giant.

Liz raised her hands, tightly pursing her lips, looking forward. Beside her, the other spirit masters were casting healing spells as quickly as possible to weaken the bone giant's strength.

Marin tightly held her staff but couldn't help much. Following Rod's orders, she couldn't cast powerful elemental spells because the intense light would attract the attention of other undead creatures. So, despite her strong power, she could only maintain the Silence Spell and couldn't join the fight, which was not a pleasant feeling.

"Twenty seconds!"

Rod dodged the bone giant's hammer. The hard hammerhead smashed into the ground, and the shattered rocks scattered and hit Rod, making him gasp. But Rod didn't stop advancing. He raised his sword, and sword energy began to condense around it. The leaping soul power began to emerge, and then Rod took a half-step forward, raising his sword and swinging it down.

On the surface, this sword strike seemed ordinary, but as it fell, a brilliant light suddenly condensed at the sharp tip of the sword. When Rod's sword tip finally swung down and pointed to the ground, the condensed light burst out, splitting the earth as if cut by an invisible giant sword, creating a terrifying crack. The light then burst forth, spreading along the crack.

This was the new sword technique "Starfall" that Rod had learned, specifically the skill "Wrath of Judgment."

Unlike the agile and nimble "Moonshadow" and "Dance of Darkness," "Starfall" was a more purely powerful sword technique. It wasn't fast or flashy, but the power it unleashed was awe-inspiring. Despite the bone giant's great strength, Rod was confident that his strength was not far behind.

The bone giant, attacking with all its might, finally couldn't withstand Rod's attack this time. Before it could even pick up its weapon, the crack in the earth reached its feet, and its massive, steady body wobbled. It raised its body, and its steps became chaotic. But before it could regain its balance, the light from the crack struck its unguarded body.

Silence still enveloped everything, but now, the bone giant's body was no longer as intact as before. Under the fierce attack, its chest had split open, and the bones that were once tightly joined were now scattered. But it still persisted. Although the bone giant seemed to be at the end of its strength and on the verge of disintegrating, Rod knew this was the most dangerous time.

"Ten seconds!"

"Serek!"

The sword master, who had been hiding and preparing, finally appeared. He transformed into a brilliant light and charged forward, his longsword bursting with one brilliant circle after another, stabbing towards the bone giant's head. At this moment, Selia and Rod followed closely behind, their longswords also bursting with bright sword light. Two silver crescent blades flew from their swords, intersecting and charging towards the target.

Faced with the overwhelming sword master, the bone giant finally reacted. It instinctively extended its left hand, trying to block the attack.

But this was its last struggle.

A level 40 sword master's full-force attack was not something a mid-level undead creature could withstand. In fact, even before Serek's sword reached the bone giant's palm, the palm had already shattered under the immense pressure, collapsing and turning to dust, offering no resistance. In the next instant, Serek's sword pierced the bone giant's wide-open mouth.

An incredibly powerful impact burst forth, instantly shattering the bone giant's head from the inside, forcing it to separate from its body. Its jaw and half of its face were completely gone, leaving only a web of cracks spreading out. The soul flames in its eye sockets flickered, as if trying to do something, but at that moment, the intersecting silver crescent blades cut through it like tofu, splitting it completely. Then, the shattered skull lost all its strength and quickly turned to dust.

At this moment, the light in the bone giant's dark eye sockets finally disappeared.

The massive body, now unsupported and powerless, crashed to the ground. At this moment, the Silence Spell maintained by Marin finally came to an end.
