Battle Of Ascension

The blue fire hurricane swept the skeleton soldiers who approached the Garuda"s members. However, the Garuda"s members left unscathed under the blue fire. It seemed the blue fire could perceive which one was the enemies and which one was the allies.

The skeleton soldiers burned till nothing was left and the Garuda"s members remained safe. Even the Garuda"s members had a scare when the blue fire engulfed them down. However, the fright was only for a moment before they realized the blue fire didn"t hurt them.

The blue fire was getting bigger and bigger until it reached fifty meters high and burned everything it met except Garuda"s members.

Slowly a two-meter figure came out from the blue. It was not human, but a beast, Lion to be more exact, it was a blue lion. The Lion"s mane, however, not a hair, but a blue fire. The blue fire blazed fiercely on its neck and four ankles.

The Lion was Rocky of course. Rocky slowly stepped out from the hurricane blue fire. The cute little cat turned into a ferocious lion in the matter of a second and no one understood why Rocky suddenly became angry.

Yes, Rocky was angry. The crimson eyes which showed how angry it was and it was barring its row of sharp teeth as a "Grrrhh!" sound came out from its jaws. No one came near at Rocky and the skeleton soldiers were keeping their distance from Rocky as they looked Rocky cautiously.

Rocky eyes shot right at Barton, never left Barton since Rocky came out from the hurricane blue fire, the Mythical Grade Skeleton with a spear.

Randy bewildered as for why Rocky suddenly turned hostile against the leader of the skeleton force. The lazy cat who even lazy to hunt for its own food and suddenly turned hostile to the skeleton who had no relation with it from the start.

Even Barton himself puzzled why the Blue Lion turned hostile at him.

Barton didn"t even know there was a fierce lion among the human. Even though they didn"t have a system like the human side, but they had a way to detect how strong the enemy was from the aura.

Yes, it was one of their ability as an undead. So, even without system, they could measure how strong their enemy. Moreover, it was easier to detect how strong Rocky with its current condition.

Barton sensed danger from Rocky"s aura, however, he could feel rocky was not stronger than him. With the other four of his companions, the Blue Lion was an easy target for them.

Instead of worrying about the Blue Lion, Barton felt even more worried to the female human and the male human. He could fathom the power of the Blue Lion, but not for these two humans.

Even though Barton knew these two humans were strong, but Barton didn"t know how strong they were. Unknown was the scariest thing, even for a skeleton like them.

Barton looked at the Blue Lion and the two humans back and forth. He calculated for the next step.

Rocky seemed angry at Barton, but he didn"t charge at Barton directly. Rocky turned his head at the fifty Garuda"s members who were still inside the hurricane blue fire, he set his crimson eyes right to Iman Saputra.

Iman felt his back hair stood up directly when the crimson eyes were looking at him fervently. However, he felt the Blue Lion wanted to say something to him and Iman frowned as he tried to understand what the Blue Lion wanted to say to him.

After some time, somehow, he could understand what the Blue Lion wanted to say.

Hesitated, Iman Saputra said with uncertainty "You want us to stay inside?"

The other Garuda"s members looked at Iman with a dumbfounded look.

"How can he understand the Blue Lion?"

"There is no sound came out from Lion,"

"Iman is unfamiliar to the Blue Lion too as he just met the Blue Lion today, how come he can understand?"

It was what in other Garuda"s members mind when they looked at this unbelievable scene. However, soon, noticed the Blue Lion nodded its huge head at Iman and looked satisfied.

Yes, the Garuda"s members noticed the satisfied look on the Blue Lion expression. It was vivid and clear even though it was only for a moment as the Rocky immediately turned his head at Barton.

Randy and Zhen Yi looked Rocky was communicating with one Garuda"s members. Randy didn"t expect the super lazy Rocky would be dutiful and thoughtful.

He had asked Rocky to protect them, just in case the skeleton soldiers overwhelmed them with their number or they had a hard time to face the King Grade Skeletons.

There were fifteen Legendary Grade Skeletons, and he was sure there were over a hundred King Grade Skeletons or even more. That was why he left Rocky to them.

He thought Rocky would only act when they were in a danger and Randy didn"t expect Rocky grew angry over Barton without an absurd reason. However, he relieved the Rocky left the Garuda"s members with protection.

Yep, Rocky angry because of an absurd reason. He was angry because Barton looked down at him. Earlier, Baron made a speech to raise the morale the skeleton soldiers to block Randy and Zhen Yi"s advance while they would run away.

However, in Barton didn"t regard Rocky as the enemy in his words, "They are only fifty-two…" That sentence indirectly offended Rocky.

"Saint Blood flows in me, how can that lowly skeleton looked down upon This Saint,"

It was what Randy perceived in his mind as his mind was connected to Rocky"s. Randy didn"t know whether to laugh or felt pity over Barton. Barton offended Rocky because of that absurd reason.

Rocky thought the skeleton was looking down upon him and Barton had not realized Rocky"s presence since the start. But without him realized, he had offended Rocky who was taking a nap on Iman"s head.

Randy had an amused smile on his lips and Zhen Yi noticed that amused smile. She was aware her husband must be known the reason why that lazy cat grew angry.

"Why?" Zhen Yi asked her husband with a curious look. She was not in a hurry to fight the Mythical Grade Skeletons or afraid the skeletons would try to run away again with her ice wall confined them.

Of course, Randy understood what his wife asked. Why the lazy cat grew angry over Barton?

Randy told his wife why Rocky angry over Barton. He didn"t bother to lower his voice as he talked to his wife. Letting Barton and the other four Mythical Grade Skeletons heard what he said to his wife.

Barton stunned after hearing the reason of the Blue Lion grew angry over him and Zhen Yi giggled out. She was laughing and felt pity for Barton to make a lazy cat angry for an absurd reason. Also, Barton himself seemed unaware of that.

Rocky, after all, was Saint Grade Beast. Even though Rocky"s level could be considered a low level, but Saint Grade Beast was Saint Grade Beast, could not be underestimated.

However, Barron had no time to think his next plan to run as Rocky rushed over him. The blue fire on its neck burned fiercely.

A hundred meters away from Barton, Rocky opened his jaw, and the blue fire stormed out from his deep throat. The blue fire shot toward Barton.

Randy and Zhen Yi looked each other. Zhen Yi spoke first, "Rocky takes one, I take two, and you take two,"

There were five Mythical Grade Skeletons and Zhen Yi divided the opponent fairly as Rocky seemed to be interested in Barton.

Randy nodded his head. Randy and Zhen Yi split up and the blue fire slammed onto Barton.

Boom!

The ice wall broke into pieces as the blue fire was raging at the explosion took a place. Rocky didn"t stop his dash and suddenly his body split into three. The other two Rocky"s bodies were blazing in the blue fire furiously.

Yes, the other two Rocky"s bodies made of blue fire. When the other two Rocky"s bodies reached where the explosion took a place, the blue fire which was earlier raging had died down and shown Barton"s figure alone while the other four Mythical Grade Skeleton was nowhere to be seen.

The raging blue fire burned Barton"s armor as there was a burned trace on his armor. However, he just blocked a raging fire, but another raging fire slammed into him. The two Rocky"s bodied which made of the blue fire slammed into Barton"s frame.

Boom!

The two Rocky"s bodies made of the blue fire exploded after it slammed into Barton"s frame. The blue fire shot up to thirty meters high and there was a shadow flung out from the blue flame pillar.

Without a doubt, the shadow was Barton. The power and eruption behind those two bodies could not be handled by Barton.

Bam!

Barton crashed on the ground badly. It was not enough to kill Barton; it took some time for him to stand up. Clearly, the two streaks attack injured him as his frame swayed to the left and right.

However, Rocky had not stopped his attack. Just as Barton stood firmly, there was a huge shadow covered him from above.

Barton looked up and saw Rocky with his paw was ready to hit him with his right paw. Behind the right paw, there was another paw made of the blue fire, and the paw made of the blue fire was much bigger compared the real paw, ten times bigger.

Boom!

Another booming sound resounded as the huge paw made of blue fire slammed into the wobble Bortan. A pit in the shape of a lion"s paw formed on the ground and inside the pit, Barton was pinned down by Rocky"s fore right paw.

Barton"s condition was miserably and there were a few holes in his black armor. The glistening black gold skeleton lost its l.u.s.ter with a burn mark on it as it was visible from the hole in the armor.

However, the black flame in its socket still burned furiously. Barton had not died yet even after a series of attacks of Rocky"s ferocious attack. Barton was looking at the Blue Lion who stepped at his chest, the black flame became even fiercer.

Barton had to admit that he was underestimating his opponent which led him to the current precarious situation. The Blue Lion who he thought not much strong compared to the two humans almost killed him.

The black flame burned ferociously and the black flame in its sockets was getting bigger before enveloping its skull before worming down to the whole frame and armor. Different from the beforehand black flame, the current black flame was darker.

Rocky noticed the anomaly immediately as he felt an itch in his paw. However, when looking at the pitch black flame, Rocky snorted in contempt at the struggled Barton.

The next thing was the black flame erupted and a black flame pillar formed. The black pillar engulfed Rocky and Barton"s figure.

"Animal is an animal after all!!! There"s no way This Chief would die under brainless animal!"

A madness cry resounded from the black flame pillar. It was Barton"s voice.

The black flame pillar was about thirty meters high and about ten meters high. The pit shape of the paw was gone, it was like the ground melted under the burning black flame.

However, there was a huge change afterward. There was a blue flame burst out from the black flame. The blue flame and the black flame were overlapping each other. The black flame pillar which looked dreadful earlier became a magnificent scene after it blended with the blue flame.

The flame pillar didn"t last long before the two flames vanished from the pit. The ten Legendary Grade Skeletons looked each other. They wanted to check who was the one alive among the Blue Lion and their Chief, Barton.

However, they didn"t dare after watching the whole clash. If their Chief was the one alive, then there would be no problem for them to check the pit but… If the Blue Lion who came out alive from the pit, then they would have the same fate as their chief.

There was no skeleton"s conscience, only the strong survived. They didn"t felt sorry if their Chief died, but their life was the most important. As long as it was not an order, they won"t risk their life for it.

It was the same as the Skeleton Soldier and Skeleton Commander. They were curious about the result, but no one risked their skeleton body to check the pit. Even the Skeleton Commander forgot that he could order the normal Skeleton Soldier to check the pit.

Whoos.h.!.+

A shadow came out from the huge pit and all skeletons set their eyes on the pit after they noticed it.

The shadow landed on the ground and the winner of the clash between the Skeleton Chief and the Blue Lion came into their sight.

All skeletons immediately took three steps back simultaneously. Even the ten Legendary Grade Skeletons, no exception. They also took three steps back after the shadow came into their sight.

The shadow was the Blue Lion. However, the current Blue Lion had shrunk into a small size. The Blue Lion was in his cat form, but none skeletons dared to get closer because they knew the blue cat was the Blue Lion who killed their Chief, Barton.
