Nnd Lee intended to assist Comi withunching the Bee Syrup Bombs.
After emerging from his hideout, he listened intently to gauge the situation.
The Big Skeleton was iling its Bone Hammer about ten meters ahead.
The gasps of two humans surrounded the Big Skeleton, seemingly holding it in ce, drawing the creature’s attention in ce. So where was Comi with the Bomb Launcher?
Nnd shouted into the darkness:
“Comi, where are you? Do you need help?”
There was no response from Comi in the darkness.
On the other hand, in between dodging the Big Skeleton’s attacks, Mike Adams managed to yell out:
“Jarvis… quickly check on your right. Comi seems to have been knocked out by a rock; he hasn’t managed tounch the Bee Syrup Bomb.”
“Alright, I’m on it..” Nnd Lee started to move, asking at the same time:
“How is Captain Mars?”
“Not sure.. I think he’s passed out. Don’t worry, he’s taken two Strengthening Potions, his physical condition is much better than ours.”
Distracted by the conversation, Sergeant Mike Adams let his guard down, moaning as he was inadvertently grazed by the hefty Bone Hammer.
Nnd Lee ran to thest ce he spotted Comi.
There was no one there.
Only a piece of cloth hanging on a sharp rock gave proof that someone had been there.
Was Comi also in danger?
Where had his Bee Syrup Bomb gone?
Nnd’s heart tightened slightly, as he yelled loudly:
“Comi! Comi! Where are you?! We need the Bee Syrup Bomb!”
The dark environment caused by “Perception Obstruction” seemed ready to swallow all life.
After shouting for a while, Nnd received no response.
The battle between Sergeant Mike Adams and the Big Skeleton was growing more intense, screams of pain bing more frequent.
Nnd Lee frowned lightly, realising that the odds were tipping against them.
Just as he turned around to support hisrades, a dark shadow fell from the sky, crashing onto the floor before him.
“Comi?!”
Nnd’s eyebrow twitched, as he held the Revolver and nced at the corpse on the ground, and above it.
Comi, who was still breathing just half a minute ago, had now be a desated, shriveled mummy.
There were round wounds on his forehead and the back of his head, apparently left by some sort of piercing weapon.
“Wait a second, wounds caused by a weapon? I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere before…”
Nnd’s heart missed a beat, as he suddenly realised that he had inadvertently revealed his intent to attack. He immediately twisted his waist and rolled to the side.
“Wham!”
A long, thin shadow shot out from a high point,nding on the spot where Nnd had just been, breaking the stone bricks.
The Cavern Stalker had sneakilyunched an attack!
This cunning Sutured Creature had killed Comi and drained him into a mummy!
All of this became clear to Nnd Lee in an instant.
He steadied himself during the roll, squatted, and raised his Revolver towards
Seeing its attack had failed, the cunning Cavern Stalker retracted its ck whip, ceasing all movement and silencing all sounds.
It intended to evade Nnd’s detection through silence, hoping tounch another creepy attack when he let his guard down.
However, it had made a mistake this time.
Its enemy was not an ordinary Imperial Soldier.
It was a man with the Deconstruction Core System.
Nnd squinted into the direction from where the whip hade, executing a dozen Deconstruction Techniques.
Soon, he was able to urately pinpoint the enemy’s location through the system message.
Did you think hiding as a stone would save you? Die, creature!… Nnd pulled the trigger.
“Bang!” A Bullet spun out from the gun’s muzzle amidst a spark, urately shooting towards the Cavern Stalker.
A shrill screech came from the darkness overhead.
Nnd decisively fired continuously, emptying the chamber, killing the cunning creature on the spot.
With a “st” sound, the Cavern Stalker exploded and died, sliding down from the wall, leaving a puddle of “mud” mixed with white bone fragments on the ground.
Nnd slowly let out the breath he had been holding in his chest, recing the ammunition while heading towards Comi’s remains.
“Rest in peace, soldier, I will use the Bee Syrup Bomb to eliminate that Big Skeleton. However, this is not for the bullshit glory of the Empire, but to increase my survival rate.”
Facing the corpse, Nnd Lee sighed in silence.
He crouched down and took off the heavy supply backpack from the other person’s body, carrying it on his own.
Before leaving, he looked back at the remains of the Cavern Stalker and noticed a faint light on them.
Nnd Lee was struck with a thought.
Seeing no one around, he quickly walked over to the remains, poked around the “muck” with his Rune Staff, and pulled out a bone fragment as fair as a maiden’s skin.
This bone fragment was about the size of a “one yuan coin”, white as frost, untainted by stains, and quite extraordinary at first nce.
Nnd Lee cast a spell of Deconstruction, raising his eyebrows immediately. [System message: You are trying to deconstruct the “Pure Bone Card”.]
[Since you have mastered themon knowledge rted to the Necromancer’s Summoning Array, the energy points required for this deconstruction have dropped to o.]
[Do you confirm the deconstruction process?]
This was Nnd Lee’s first encounter with a situation where no energy points were consumed, and deconstruction could be carried out with 100% sess.
Who wouldn’t love a freeloader?
Nnd Lee grinned and muttered “Confirm deconstruction”.
[Deconstruction sess!]
[You have obtained the panel information of this item:]
[Name] Pure Bone Card
[Type] Death-type Magic Material
[Usage 1] Soul Link
Engrave your magic mark, such as the “Mark of Resentment”, on the bone card to endow it with the effect of “Soul Link”. By cing the bone card inside the body of an Undead Creature, you can control the Undead Creature directly.
Note, this control method only works for mindless Undead Creatures and when they perish, you will feel pain at the soul level.
[Usage 2] Store Command
Engrave your magic mark on the bone card and conceive instructions to guide the actions of the Undead Creature and you can store the actionmands in the bone card.
Upon cing the bone card inside the body of the Undead Creature, the Undead will act ording to the instructions on the bone card.
Nnd Lee tucked this little thing into the pocket of his clothes, secretlyplimenting his own luck. This Cavern Stalker actually dropped a good loot. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
The academic name for this pristine bone fragment was “Pure Bone Card,” a crucial prop for summoning Undead Constructs, Sutured Creatures, and other Undead Creatures.
Mindless Undead Creatures must strictly follow themands of the summoner.
The purpose of the Bone Cards is to store the summoner’s actionmands.
This is the mostmon usage.
The usage of “Soul Link” mentioned in the deconstruction results was something Nnd Lee learned of for the first time.
However, that’s not the key point.
The key is:
As Nnd Lee followed the Imperial Army, he personally killed no less than 30 Undead Creatures along the way, witnessing the fall of countless Undead Creatures.
But this was his first time discovering a “Pure” Bone Card from the remains of an enemy.
At other times, the Bone Cards he saw were all “Broken”, “Terrible”, “Damaged” — they were allpletely destroyed by Bullets, methrowers, or Biochemical Nectar, losing their value for reuse.
Only the piece in his hand now was “Pure”, i.e., the kind that meets the material requirements for Necromancer Summoning rituals. This was what brought Nnd Lee so much joy.
“Ah!” A scream came from the battlefield.
Nnd Lee steadied his thoughts, wiped out his distractions, and hurried over.
“Mike! Isaac! Kovin! Hold on! I’ve brought the Bee Syrup Bomb!”
Nnd Lee yelled as he approached the battlefield.
He had seen Koben and Comi use Bomb Launchers and was now attempting to mimic them urately.
He carried this device, much like a rocketuncher, on his shoulder, lowered the sealing cover at both ends, loaded a Bee Syrup Bomb from the front, flipped open the folding mechanical Aiming Device…
After a series of operations, the Bomb Launcher entered a ready state. “Attention! I’m about to fire! Don’t let the Big Skeleton escape!”
“Jarvis! Shoot towards me! The Big Skeleton is between you and me. The elevation angle is about 15 degrees!”
The voice of Sergeant Mike Adams came from the darkness, indicating the direction of theunch, even as he himself was hit by the Big Skeleton and cried out in pain.
You didn’t even need to talk… I could find the Big Skeleton myself… Nnd Lee inhaled deeply, lifted his arms slightly, adjusted the angle, and pulled the trigger hard.
“Bang!”
“Crack! ”
The bomb exploded on the back of the Big Skeleton.
The Biochemical Nectar swiftly prated the entire body, dissolving the form of the Big Skeleton.
The Big Skeleton, which had been dominating just a little while ago, quickly
wilted under the effect of the Biochemical Nectar..
