Chapter 61 Another Draw
The red dragon's breath is probably the most suitable among the five colored dragons for dealing with these ghosts.
After all, their ethereal bodies are immune to acids and toxins to some extent, and while the penetrating power of lightning breath is strong, it is not as wide as the range of flames.
With the help of burning coals and high-proof liquor, Thor completely transformed into a dragon-shaped flamethrower, roaring wildly as he recklessly unleashed a torrent of flames.
One by one, the ghosts dissipated under the scorching flames, and their screams before they died sounded so melodious to him.
These are all the best of the best. There might be some dangerous situations later, but the gains right now are real and substantial.
In the blink of an eye, his spiritual essence balance climbed from a few single digits to over 100 points.
He should have had more, but to make up for the loss of magic power in his body, he had already exchanged some of it for burning coal, dragon crystals, and strong liquor.
At first, the dragon breath he exhaled was a mixture of his internal magic and the heat released after digesting those substances. Later, it simply turned into him spitting out burning coal dust and alcohol.
These objects continued to burn after they fell to the ground, and the rising flames illuminated the space within a radius of dozens of meters in a fiery red.
The scorching flames licked the scales of the three red dragon hatchlings, causing their body temperature to rise continuously. This did not cause any harm; instead, it created a unique form of protection.
The scalding hot dragon blood was also quite lethal to the ghosts. So much so that when the ghosts touched Thor and his companions, it was like touching molten lava. Before they could even activate their life drain, their limbs would begin to disintegrate.
If it were only these ghosts, mixed with a small number of spirits, even if there were many of them, it seemed that they would not be able to cause any effective damage to Thor and his companions.
However, in the shallow pit dug by the young white dragon, after the presence of the True Ice was lost, the elemental energy in the remaining ice below was rapidly dissipating.
A series of crisp impacts suddenly rang out, growing louder and more frequent, and soon turning into a deafening clang like metal clashing.
The ice shards on the surface of the ice layer began to throb slightly, clearly indicating that something was violently impacting below.
Before long, the ice could no longer hold on and suddenly shattered with a crisp cracking sound, revealing a ferocious bone claw emerging from below.
Several skeleton knights, leading a large number of skeleton soldiers, crawled out from underground. Although they were slower than ghosts, they were just as strong.
Within their pale or withered skulls, two will-o'-the-wisps glowed. Clad in tattered armor and wielding rusted weapons, they charged straight toward the distant, dazzling flames with clattering footsteps.
…………
The number of ghosts floating in the sky gradually thinned out, and Thor was finally able to catch his breath.
The continuous vomiting made his entire esophagus feel like it was on fire, and even with his basic fire immunity, it felt like he was being burned.
Fortunately, the battle seems to be over. All that's left is to take out the few remaining ghosts and then we can rest.
Thor glanced at the hundreds of essences he had accumulated below the giant roulette wheel in his mind, and his heart instantly burned with excitement.
Unexpectedly, in just a short time, I got a low-level monster template. Could this be considered a blessing in disguise?
The next instant, a crisp clicking sound suddenly interrupted his thoughts. From the darkness beyond the reach of the firelight, a withered, yellow foot bone stepped in.
As the foot landed, more leg bones and ribs entered the firelight, and a skeleton clad in tattered armor and wielding a rusty longsword appeared before Thor.
Following closely behind this skeleton was another identical skeleton, then a third, a fourth, and so on, too numerous to count at a glance.
This made Thor's gaze suddenly sharpen; he hadn't expected that after the ghosts, there would also be skeleton knights and soldiers.
With so many undead creatures, could the cave beneath that solid ice be connected to some large mass grave or an ancient battlefield?
Unfortunately, the skeletons didn't give him time to think carefully; they rushed forward with stiff steps.
Despite being nothing more than skeletons, driven by negative energy, they are incredibly fast and possess extraordinary strength, and are even immune to certain punctures and toxins.
Seeing this, Kalp and Sistana, who were huddled next to Thor, suddenly snapped to attention and quickly spoke up to warn him.
"Thor, those skeletons are charging!"
"There are so many of them!"
Thor gave them a disapproving look and let out a low growl:
"I'm not blind, I don't need you two idiots to remind me!"
At first, he intended to shake off the two guys, but then he thought that having another dragon in this situation would be a good addition, at least it could help him breathe a few times.
Even if they encounter a danger they can't handle, they can abandon them and use them as bait to lure the enemy.
Feeling the stinging pain extending from his stomach to his throat, Thor decided not to get entangled with these skeletons for the time being. With a nimble twist of his feet, he flapped his wings and rushed backward.
Sistana and Kalp, who had expected him to fight a great battle with those skeletons, were stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed behind him.
"Wait for me!"
Don't leave me alone!
…………
Two legs can't outrun four. Although this underground space seems to be under some kind of magic, making it impossible for Thor to find the way he came, it's still not a problem to shake off those undead for a short time.
He led Sistana and Kalp into a crevice formed by a protruding boulder, listening to the occasional roars of other young dragons and the sounds of fierce collisions in the distance, but his attention was focused on the huge rotating disc in his mind.
The current Spirit Essence balance is 135.17, which is enough to draw a low-level monster template once.
Although the current situation is somewhat dangerous, fortunately, when loading the monster template, although various abnormalities will occur in different parts of the body due to development and growth, as long as there is no intense battle, it will not have too much of an impact.
With the current situation unclear, every bit of strength gained increases the chance of survival, and the unique abilities acquired might even bring about a turning point.
Once he made up his mind, he immediately concentrated and slammed his hand down on the third spinning wheel.
The full 100 points of spiritual essence evaporated instantly, turning into a dazzling starlight that crashed into the third spinning wheel, causing it to spin violently.
Neon-like lights swirled, and when the turntable stopped, a simple line drawing of a yellowish-brown flying fish with two legs was clearly visible on the small square that lit up.
