Chapter 6: A Hard Pass

Chapter 6: A Hard Pass

He vaguely remembered the chimera whispering in his ear.

But none of it mattered now.

Now there had to be a way to carry through this Wind of Aeolus.

He suppressed his inner turmoil and controlled his bones to become flatter.

[Toughness][Hard Bones] continuously strengthened his bones, and his arms protected his chest to prevent the soul fire inside his chest from being blown out.

[Self-Healing] kept healing the tiny chinks in the surface of the bones that were weathered.

The soul fire inside the body was constantly compressed, making the flame become solidified so that it wouldn't be blown out by the wind.

But even then, the surface of the bones was pitted as if they had been gnawed on by countless ants.

Around him, white bone dust mixed in with the wind, constantly impacting his body.

Eric recognized the importance of the Endurance skill.

Last time, if it wasn't for [Fire Endurance], I'm afraid that it would have been impossible to last through the scorching of the [Fire Pulp].

This time, he was screwed over ......

The wind stopped.

There was only a ragged skeleton left standing in place, and the tiny blue flames burning inside his chest cavity seemed like they were going to go out in the next second.

Lucia even thought that this skeleton was dead at that moment.

But the next second, the blue flame in the chest cavity wavered for a moment and burned again.

The empty eye sockets also seemed to be ignited, once again burning with flame.

It came to life.

Eric shook his body, barely standing still.

But Lucia had no intention of letting him go.

She waved her hand, and two Phantoms came forward to support Eric's shaky body.

Then, she walked to Eric's front.

A crystal that was different from the last time, light blue, appeared in the palm of her hand.

The size was a circle smaller than the last one.

This proved Eric's guess that Lucia was choosing the size of the crystal for the second round through the skeleton's performance in the first round.

This amount was just the amount that could kill the skeleton.

If it wasn't unexpected, she was testing the performance of various attribute crystals in killing skeletons.

"Try this."

Without hesitation, she shoved the crystal into the flames burning in Eric's chest.

The moment the crystal touched the flame, the flame burned violently as if it had met an accelerant.

The flame changed from a ghostly blue color to a light blue color, covering his body like a light blue gale.

It was like a hurricane tornado that washed over his body.

In just a few breaths, the bones in Eric's entire body became slimmer by a hair.

White bone dust rose.

This was probably the retribution for thwarting his coworker's bones the other night, Eric thought so with bitter amusement.

Soon enough, Eric's teeth fell off the bones one by one, and the skull was washed out in a thin layer, and the next moment it was riddled with holes of all sizes.

In the holes, the ghostly blue flames kept swaying but were strong enough not to go out.

The ribs were also blown off one by one, falling off from the body.

The arm and leg bones were blown down to the thickness of a small thumb, and the finger bones fell off one by one.

The entire body was on the verge of collapsing and falling apart.

But Eric's consciousness remained awake.

Only when his body reached the point of collapse did Eric control the panel and add free attribute points to his physique.

The self-healing power of the self-healing and physique points added simultaneously blew the horn of the counterattack.

The bones felt like they were radiating light, constantly healing the broken bones.

Lucia on the side, on the other hand, was staring at Eric's self-healing skeleton with wide eyes, carefully staring at it.

"It's the same as last time."

"Is it this skeleton's special talent, superb self-healing power?"

Lucia stroked his polished chin and muttered.

Then he averted his eyes, she had already determined that the remaining power couldn't blow up this skeleton, so she stopped paying attention.

This skeleton's self-healing power was strong, but it wasn't worth caring too much about for her.

"Next."

Eric finally managed to carry the wind and collapsed on the ground, looking at the panel floating in front of him.

[Ding, Physique +1]

[Gained skill, Wind Tolerance lv1]

After waiting for a long time, he didn't see the [Wind Magic lv1] that he was longing for.

Damn it, wind magic, he's so big a wind magic!

Eric was dissatisfied, but he also roughly guessed the reason.

It should be because the wind crystal Lucia stuffed this time was too small.

But if it was too big, he would have died by now.

Damn it, I'm screwed.

If I had [Wind Resistance], I wouldn't be in such a mess this time.

Eric got up from the ground and wandered around as if he didn't know anything.

Elemental attributes are divided into four types.

They are fire, water, earth, and wind.

Now that Lucia had experimented with fire and wind, the next time she experimented, it should be earth and water.

Just in case, should he collect all the [Earth Resistance] and [Water Resistance] to prevent a rollover?

By the time the experiment was over, Eric was the only pretty boy left in the room.

It was not easy to "work together" for a while, Eric silently mourned for these lovely colleagues.

They were all qualified skill banks, and Eric was honored to know them.

One by one, the chimera's eyes swept over Eric's body, probably sighing that this guy is really lucky, actually sent away two rounds of skeletons.

There was no way around it, he was wise.

A third round of skeletons was quickly added.

Eric was more skillful this time.

Skillfully, he found a [Creeping] skeleton and switched [Toughness] for Creeping.

Then, taking advantage of the night, he quietly knocked on his lovely colleagues.

Two a night, more often three, the more you knock the better.

A few of Young Ashes Jan's chimera don't fly much anymore, as if they're feeling the particulate pollution from the high altitude.

Eric's level has also risen to lv5, almost to lv6.

But tonight, he wasn't going to do it.

Because it's been too rampant lately, when he rubbed against the chimera during the day, he also heard the chimera say that it felt like there were fewer skeletons than last time, and the square was quite empty.

The Phantoms did not suspect in the slightest that skeletons were striking out at other skeletons.

Faced with the trust of the chimeras, Eric felt a little proud that he could make his enemies trust him so much.

The next day, Lucia returned.

Eric's skills had been replaced with [Earth Resistance] [Water Resistance] [Toughness] [Self-Healing].

After all, he didn't trust the information from the chimeras anymore.

Lucia once again had the chimera pull Eric out of the skeleton pile.

Damn, this demon really couldn't wait to get himself killed.

He still wanted his colleagues to step into the pit.

"This time it's a water attribute, so hang in there."

"Water dungeon."

Lucia looked at the skeleton in front of her and said with a smile.

Although her tone was gentle, she didn't hesitate to unleash skills on herself that could kill her.

A stream of water was condensed out of the void and wrapped around Eric, forming a layer of water prison that floated in the air, spherical.

The water pressure was increasing, and the current was washing over the body.

The bones bent one after another under the water pressure.

However, with the bonus of [Toughness], Eric was able to survive the water prison with ease.

A surplus of 9 points in Physique.

Lucia revealed an excited expression, then took out the dark blue crystal, which was even bigger than the previous fire attribute crystal, and stuffed it into the flames in the skeleton's chest cavity.

There was another burst of life and death, and by adding points to the constitution, it lasted through.
