Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1811 Strange Mechanism (Part Two)
The black skull charged forward with a powerful and heavy blow, forcefully shattering the giant fire serpent with a single strike.

Even Zhou Xu, the caster, suffered a backlash in that instant. Despite the impact of the backlash, Zhou Xu quickly switched to other mantra spells.

Clearly, in that one moment, he could basically confirm that fire-attribute attacks were not very effective against the black skeleton in front of him; at least, they couldn't quickly incinerate it.

[The raging winds transform into sharp blades!!]

Without even bothering to test the waters with the weaker 'Gale Like a Blade', Zhou Xu immediately unleashed his strongest wind-type attack spell, 'Gale Like a Blade', to launch an attack!
In an instant, countless blades formed from wind elements created a terrifying storm that swept towards the black skeleton.

With the enhancement of Zhou Xu's Nascent Soul Realm strength, these sharp and swift wind blades could easily cut through gold and jade, and even a steam warship could be cleaved in two with a single blow!
Although the black skull's bones were hard, they were instantly torn to pieces by this attack! Broken bones were scattered all over the ground!
This incredibly impactful scene prompted many soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty to cheer.

However, Zhou Xu's face did not show the slightest sign of relaxation.

Don't forget what the characteristics of a skeleton soldier are!
Sure enough, the broken bones began to be pieced back together very quickly!
The reassembled black skull roared instinctively, but before it could even open its mouth, a boulder tens of meters in diameter slammed right in front of it!

"boom!!!"

The commotion was like a meteorite falling to earth; the violent impact forcefully shattered the newly reconstructed Black Skull once again!

Believe it or not! The 'Flying Stone Attack' move, though basic, is surprisingly effective against this skeletal frame, as it's a blunt weapon strike.

Given the original strength of the Black Skull, this 'flying rock attack' might not have been able to harm it, but before that, the Black Skull was already chopped into eight pieces by the 'whirlwind like blades'!
This directly caused the black skull's integrity to be fundamentally destroyed, and its strength had already decreased. In addition, it had just completed its reorganization when it was hit by this boulder, and the black skull fell apart on the spot!

But Zhou Xu had no intention of giving up.

In the blink of an eye, another boulder was hurled at them!
At this moment, Zhou Xu's thoughts were very clear.

At this moment, his 'Stone Attack' was like a giant hammer, and he was going to smash the black skull to pieces one blow at a time.

Although skeletons can reassemble themselves, the more thoroughly they break apart during an attack, the weaker they become.

If every bone in a skeleton soldier's body is smashed into pieces, then even if it eventually reassembles, its strength will drop to a critical point.

To give a simple example, a skeleton soldier throws a punch, and his own fist shatters.

If it can be destroyed to this extent, based on Zhou Xu's understanding of skeleton soldiers, the black skeleton will basically not pose much of a real threat.

Once the Black Skull is completely dealt with, it becomes a matter of time again.

Of course, this is easier said than done.

The mana consumption alone is a major problem.

Although the magic power of the Daoist mage is indeed formidable, he has already fought three rounds of tough battles since arriving on the battlefield.

Under this premise, although 'Flying Stone Attack' is a relatively basic mantra spell, the mana consumption would be considerable if its power were increased to the point where it could shatter a black skull.

After a few rounds, Zhou Xu clearly realized that his magical power was less than 30%.

Jarvitt was in a similar situation. Zhou Xu originally wanted Jarvitt to finish off the enemy, but the second phase of this thing completely disrupted his original plan.

Looking at the enormous black skull, Zhou Xu guessed that Yarvit probably wasn't very good at dealing with this kind of enemy.

The Royal Mage Corps had exhausted their mana in the previous battle and had clearly not yet recovered. However, Thousand Years, Hilk, Joseph, and Vol'jin were still capable of fighting.

However, their problem lies in the vast gap in hard power. Rashly involving them in battles of this level would carry a high risk of heavy losses.

"You unfilial son! If you're sober now, come and help me!"

After much deliberation, Zhou Xu concluded that the only person who could lend him a helping hand and be of effective help was his rebellious son, Xuan Yu.

The fiery breath of his own giant fire serpent was indeed ineffective against the black skeleton.

However, the Xuan Yu Golden-Red Flame is clearly special, and its temperature is also higher than that of ordinary flames.

If all else fails, cremating the black skull with extremely high temperatures might not be an option.

At the same time, on Xuan Yu's side...

He's still a bit disoriented, and his eyes are completely blank.

His situation was special. The shrieking attack from the black monster had an impact on him far exceeding that of ordinary units, leaving his mind blank until Zhou Xu's voice came, which brought him back to his senses.

Xuan Yu turned his head and looked at the black skeleton that Zhou Xu was hammering with 'flying stone attack', and he was even more confused.

For a moment, I couldn't figure out what was going on.

But Zhou Xu felt he was about to give up. The black skeleton seized the opportunity, quickly completed its reorganization, and roared as it swung its now cracked skeletal hand at Zhou Xu!

The situation seemed dangerous, but Zhou Xu was not panicked. Although he didn't have much magic power left, he could still move a few hundred meters by using the Shrinking Earth technique.

By controlling the distance, the energy consumption can be even lower.

Just as Zhou Xu was about to show off his precise footwork, a majestic voice suddenly rang out from the sky!

"You wicked creature! Stop hurting people!"

Almost simultaneously with the sound, Zhou Xu felt a sudden burst of golden light in the air, and a huge golden swastika symbol spun down from the sky, instantly suppressing the black skull that was about to commit a crime under the swastika symbol.

As the swastika was imprinted, the black skull let out a shrill scream, as if it had encountered its nemesis, and a large amount of black energy kept emerging from its body.

In the blink of an eye, its enormous body began to collapse and eventually vanished completely.

During this process, Zhou Xu's attention was no longer on the black skull, but on the bald monk in white robes standing on the clouds.

“Amitabha, well done, well done, this is another meritorious deed.”

After saying that, the monk descended directly on a cloud and came to Zhou Xu's side. His method was just like that of a god in a myth.

"This humble monk, Wuchen, greets this benefactor."
