Magic System in a Parallel World

Chapter 222 Skeleton Graveyard Raid(5)



"If we approach it from the front, there won\'t be any space for us, hence why we\'re going around it, starting from the back. It\'ll take a little longer to get there, but we\'ll be able to hunt more monsters this way." Khrome said.

"Is that so…" Leo mumbled.

He looked around them, and sure enough, there were many others that had the same idea.

Sometime later, Leo could see the Skeleton Graveyard. He could see at glance hundreds if not thousands of skeletons roaming around the place, but most of them only appeared to be C-Rank to B-Rank monsters.

\'Just how big is this monster nest? The goblins\' nest was nowhere near the size of this monster nest.\' Leo thought to himself.

Many minutes later, Khrome came to a stop and said to them, "Alright, let\'s start here."

After putting away their hoverboards, they began making their way into the Skeleton Graveyard\'s territory.

There were about a dozen monsters before them.

Exploding Corpses, Phantom Ghosts, and these heavy geared skeletons.

The skeletons wielded a large two-handed rusty sword and cracked silver armor, resembling warriors that had perished from a war.

"I will focus on the Exploding Corpses with Lena backing me up. Leon, Trent, you will deal with the Phantom Ghosts. Lydia, since your light magic is extremely effective against skeleton-type monsters, you\'ll deal with that Skeleton General."

"It\'s going to be enticing to collect their mana cores as soon as possible, but make sure you and the others are safe before you do so."

"Let me give you guys a buff before you go off." Lydia suddenly said.

She proceeded to gather her mana.

A few moments later, she pointed her palms in their direction and mumbled, "Divine Aura."

Leo\'s figure immediately became enveloped in a golden light, and he could feel something warm wrapped around his body, making him feel more safe.

"You\'ll have increased defense and magic power for the next 5 minutes."

"Go!" Khrome then commanded.

Immediately, Khrome went to the nearest Exploding Corpse and swung his sword at it a few times before falling back before the monster\'s explosion could get him.

BOOM!

Leo and the others could feel the blast of the explosion even from a long distance.

As for Khrome, although he\'d managed to escape the blast, it wasn\'t completely, and if it weren\'t for Lydia\'s Divine Aura, he would\'ve received some minor burns and scratches.

Meanwhile, Lia was shooting Exploding Corpses with her magic rifle from afar. Every single bullet would riddle a hole in their round bodies, and it would take three to four bullets to make them explode.

Lydia would take advantage of her light magic affinity to vanquish the Skeleton Generals by casting healing magic on them, which is more effective than hitting them with actual offensive magic.

When the Skeleton Generals are being healed, they would stop moving and fall to their knees while their body that is made out of bones are burned black.

As for Leo and Trent…

"This guy…" Trent stood there without moving and with a dazed look on his face.

Normally, one would attack Phantom Ghosts from afar.

However, Leo did the opposite by getting close to the Phantom Ghosts with Void Step before hitting them with Death Scythe.

When Leo cast Death Scythe, a large black scythe would appear in his grasp before he slashed it at the monster.

The Phantom Ghost released a sharp and harrowing cry before vanishing into thin air, leaving behind its mana core.

"What magic spell was that?" Trent asked him afterward out of sheer curiosity.

"Nothing special. It\'s just Tier 5 magic." Leo said as he calmly Silent Cast Needle of Despair on another Phantom Ghost that was further away.

Three pitch-black needles the size of an adult\'s arm flew at the Phantom Ghost, each piercing its semi-transparent body.

The Phantom Ghost released a painful shrek afterward. Although it didn\'t really have a physical body, the Needle of Despairs still managed to attach to its body, causing it intense pain.

"Explode." Leo suddenly muttered.

Boom!

The three needles attached to the Phantom Ghost suddenly exploded, killing it instantly.

Although the spell\'s description didn\'t mention this, the Needle of Despair can actually be detonated like bombs, dealing even more damage on its target. Leo found this out during his practice before heading out for the raid.

\'This guy… He\'s casting high-level magic spells as though they\'re nothing… The rumors about him weren\'t exaggerating!\' Trent cried inwardly as he witnessed Leo\'s prowess first hand.

Leo and his team would spend the next 5 minutes fighting monsters in the Skeleton Graveyard without stopping until Lydia\'s buff on them expired.

"How are you all feeling? Anyone hurt?" Khrome asked them when they gathered again.

"I\'m fine." Lydia said.

"Same here." Trent nodded.

"How about you, Leon? If you\'re tired, you can leave the battlefield and rest outside until you\'re ready to fight again, or you can collect the mana cores while you rest."

"It\'s only been 5 minutes. I can do this for 5 hours and feel fine." Leo smiled.

"That\'s good to hear. You too, Lena. If you\'re out of mana. Don\'t force yourself to stay in the battlefield and go recover somewhere safe. This Skeleton Graveyard is massive and will probably take a few days to clear even if we all worked nonstop around the clock." Khrome said.

Lydia refreshed their buff a moment later and consumed a mana potion before she went to slay more Skeleton Generals.

Khrome and Lia continued to hunt Exploding Corpses while Leo and Trent dealt with the Phantom Ghosts.

Their area was relatively empty at first, but more and more people started showing up as time passed.

Eventually, even people that were not Adventurers started appearing, and these people had no intention of fighting. Despite that, the Adventurers fighting in the Skeleton Graveyard didn\'t mind their presence and even started fighting with more effort for some reason, almost as though they wanted to show off to these people that were carrying large cameras.
