Chapter 89: Chapter 87: Monarch Level Calamity!

Ye Mingqiu continued to move forward.

Ahead, countless large bones were piled up, forming a ghastly pale ring-shaped valley.

The bones varied, as if remnants from countless ancient beasts, covered with all sorts of corroded holes and deep claw marks, all indicating the fierce battles they endured in life.

In the center of the valley stood a colossal figure.

Its body was composed of countless large twisted skeletons, the bones varying in color, looking quite bizarre and awkward, exuding an eerie aura.

This creature…

Is not an ordinary Leader-level wild monster!

It’s a Monarch-level BOSS!

Ye Mingqiu’s gaze turned serious, ready for battle. Compared to Leader-level monsters, Monarch-level ones not only possess stronger attributes but also have many more powerful skills, both active and passive, their strength is simply on another level.

In the usual worldview of Spiritualists, Monarch-level is the limit, only the strongest Spiritualists can challenge Monarch-level, with a slim chance of victory.

But…. I’m a legend!

“Boom!!”

Upon sensing the intruder, the Skeleton Giant suddenly stomped its leg composed of the thigh bone of some upright giant beast, causing the entire skeleton valley to tremble with its steps, generating terrifying loud noises, and the piled-up pale bony mountain shed fragmented bone pieces.

“Roar!!”

The Skeleton Giant let out a terrifying roar like thunder from its chest cavity, not a real sound, as it had no flesh or vocal organs. The sound was produced by the thousands of tormented souls within, a roar from the soul.

Suddenly, an informational prompt sound appeared in Ye Mingqiu’s ear, bringing with it detailed information about the Skeleton Giant.

[Prompt: The World Will actively provides you with detailed information on the target]

[Calamity Composite (Level 1 Monarch)]

[Race: Ancient Calamity]

[Attributes: Power: 32, Agility: 21, Constitution: 40, Spirit: 40]

[Ability List: Soul Capture, Bone Devour… (details omitted)]

Ye Mingqiu’s eyes gleamed, the intelligence voluntarily provided by the World Will was quite detailed, even better than the Detection Skill from the Spirit Realm, clearly showing what skills the opponent had and their effects, very useful.

This was his first encounter with a Monarch-level BOSS, and also the first time he saw the complete skill panel of an enemy unit. The Skeleton Giant had 8 skills, 4 passive, and 4 active, with two actives being devouring bones and souls to enhance strength and increase basic attributes, and two actives being attack abilities.

The panel of the Skeleton Giant was high, seemingly built up through devouring, but even with this buildup, its panel was still not as high as the Dominator-level Li Jing.

This is the absolute gap in tiers!

Yet even so, it should be considered quite strong among Monarch-level monsters. Those wild creatures outside, although Ye Mingqiu dispatched them easily, actually had attributes higher than normal Leader-level monsters.

Perhaps this is the trait of Ancient Calamities, after all, they are calamities born from Ancient Gods, not naturally occurring monsters.

“Sigh~”

The green soul fire in the hollow eye sockets of the Skeleton Giant suddenly flickered wildly. Upon seeing Ye Mingqiu, it too suddenly rampaged like other corrupt monsters, seemingly stimulated by some terrifying force.

It frantically swung several ferocious bone arms with the whistling sound of air being torn, smashing towards Ye Mingqiu watching it, the attacks were almost chaotic, merely a simple outburst of power, yet even so, with its supreme basic attributes, it could easily crush the vast majority of Hero-level professionals.

But that’s all there is to it.

Ye Mingqiu did not retreat, nor did he block, calmly watching the Skeleton Giant’s attack, witnessing the bone fist enlarging rapidly in his vision, his face showing a relaxed, playful smile.

He took a step forward, casually placing the Blood Spear in his left hand, tightly clenched a fist with his right hand, posed for a power gathering stance, and then burst forth with volcanic power, meeting the giant fist of the Skeleton Giant head-on!

“Boom!!”

The two fists collided directly, creating a terrifying shockwave forming a raging storm, exploding towards all directions, followed by crisp sounds, the sound of bones breaking, which became increasingly loud.

“Crack!”

More and more cracks spread from the Skeleton Giant’s fist, forming streaks of fissures that expanded, even spreading to the entire bone arm, causing the arm to shatter completely.

But one bone arm broke, the Skeleton Giant had other arms, descending with them, Ye Mingqiu casually planted the Blood Spear on the ground, using his left hand to punch again, shattering another arm, then punch after punch, he continued to land blows!

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!….”

Continuous cracking sounds echoed, the arms of the Skeleton Giant were blasted to pieces, the arm-less Skeleton Giant retreated repeatedly, the soul fire in its eyes flickering wildly, the chest emitting a fearful lament.

“It’s over.”

Ye Mingqiu picked up the Blood Spear, leaped forward, pierced the Skeleton Giant’s chest, destroyed the heart pulsating inside, then withdrew the spear, shaking off the black liquid stained on it.

The sound of thousands of wailing souls surged, bone fragments scattered on the ground, a puddle of dark mud landed, covering the area.

The Blood Spear trembled gently, emitting a strange noise to Ye Mingqiu, roughly meaning: The monster’s heart blood is nutritious and can be consumed, but it’s hard to digest, consuming too much might lead to indigestion.

“Exercising more after meals aids digestion,” Ye Mingqiu replied.

The Blood Spear paused, as if the Artifact Spirit entered some reflection, then slightly tilted, as if realizing the rationale, no problem.

“Whoosh!”

The next moment, an extremely sharp whistling sound was heard, suddenly shooting out from the shadow beside and behind Ye Mingqiu, at a speed far surpassing any corrupt bird he previously encountered!

Ye Mingqiu didn’t dodge, instead frowning, his combat instincts told him this arrow wouldn’t hit, and was ineffective against him, no need to evade, he trusted his intuition and didn’t dodge.

Indeed!

The next moment, the arrow brushed past Ye Mingqiu and landed on the ground beside him, exploding.

No flash of fire, no loud noise, but a sticky, jelly-like dark purple force field spread out, enveloping Ye Mingqiu and the space within a few meters around him.

[Prompt: Calidos used “Painful Mud Swamp” on you, failed the power determination, effect reduced by 50%, inflicting slow, intensified pain, and spiritual torment effects]

[Prompt: Your Control Resistance and Abnormal Status Resistance have passed, you are immune to these effects]

“Hmph, foolish human, daring to disturb the great ruler, repent for your ignorance.”

From the shadows, a shriveled old man holding a dry black wooden Magic Staff, clad in a dark purple Magic Robe, with wrinkles like deadwood on his face steadily walked out, sunken eyeballs emanating purple light, ugly and laughing madly.
