Chapter 244 Sorry, I couldn't satisfy your skeleton.
It should be noted that Lu Renjia had already entered the ranks of warriors who had risen from apprentices.
He had mastered all the skills a soldier needed to be proficient in to an extremely high degree, and his combat prowess had been proven in countless real battles.
Thinking of this, Lu Renjia involuntarily raised his hand and wiped away the cold sweat that had seeped from his forehead due to nervousness.
Despite feeling slightly puzzled, he tried his best to remain calm and said to Fang Zhou, "No problem, junior Fang Zhou."
I'm ready; you can cast your spell at any time.
Fang Zhou nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then activated the mysterious purple artifact hidden deep within his soul—the [Berserker's Mark].
With this action, a dazzling purple light shot out from the Ark's eyes, landing precisely on a giant axe skeleton whose soul fire burned most intensely.
Then, amidst a heart-pounding sound of bones grinding together, the chosen "lucky one" began its transformation.
The bones made a "crackling" sound, as if a solemn and sacred ceremony was taking place.
The purpose of this ceremony was to bring the berserker spirit Olaf into the world.
Between a few deep breaths, a massive and imposing Olaf with two axes stood before the ark.
Its enormous body exuded an aura of arrogance, as if even the surrounding air itself became heavy with oppression.
Olaf's eyes burned with a ghostly blue fire of his soul, and the twin axes in his hands gleamed with a cold light.
At this moment, Lu Renjia looked at the powerful warrior who was transformed from a skeleton, and the initial contempt in his heart had long since vanished.
He gripped his greatsword again, took a deep breath, and met Olaf's azure soul flame with his gaze, sparking a flame between them.
The Ark stood tall among the skeletons, giving Lu Renjia a meaningful glance.
Then, Fang Zhou slowly raised his staff.
As his thoughts shifted, an invisible force gathered around him, the essence of the Death Coronation skill.
He channeled that power to his fingertips and then released it with extreme precision.
Instantly, Olaf and the other skeletons were enveloped in a thin layer of eerie blue light.
Subsequently, the Death Coronation skill came into play.
A mysterious and eerie field of necromantic energy resonance was silently established on the 60 skeletons led by Olaf.
The soul flames of the remaining fifty-nine skulls dimmed slightly at this moment, as if they had voluntarily offered up their own power.
This converged glimmer of light transformed into an incredibly powerful torrent of energy, flowing directly towards Olaf, who had been chosen by the Ark. Olaf was already more robust than his kind.
But at this moment, its skeleton seemed to be infused with the fountain of life, and began an incredible transformation.
Driven by a mysterious force, the bones rapidly grew, reorganized, and strengthened, eventually reaching an astonishing height.
The growth of bones is not random; they intertwine to form a skeletal structure that is both ferocious and powerful.
Olaf's berserker twin axes also changed accordingly.
The already heavy axe became even heavier, its blade even sharper, reflecting a cold, gleaming light.
Around them, Instructor Su Xinyan and the other spectators had an incredulous look in their eyes.
They had never seen such a shocking scene on the most worthless undead creatures, such as skeletons.
Olaf's transformation is not merely external, but also a sublimation of his inner spirit.
It formed a strange resonance with the fifty-nine skulls around it.
The connections between them are like rivers flowing into the sea, merging into one and jointly creating a magnificent and awe-inspiring momentum.
Olaf himself was also struck by this sudden and powerful energy, causing his soul fire to blaze fiercely.
It raised its berserker twin axes and let out a silent roar to the sky.
Standing opposite the ark, Lu Renjia gripped the apprentice's greatsword tightly in his hand.
The patterns on the sword hilt were deeply embedded in his palm, and his fingers were slightly white from exerting too much force.
His lips were dry from nervousness, and he unconsciously swallowed, trying to moisten his throat.
He licked his dry lips and stared intently at Olaf.
Looking at the clearly mutated skeleton opposite him, which had suddenly gained another boost in strength, its aura was incredibly powerful and it looked like it was not to be trifled with.
Lu Renjia suddenly lost all confidence.
Skeletons are generally considered to be the weakest of the undead creatures.
But the name Fangzhou is well-known at the Haicheng Military Academy.
He is hailed as the most monstrous genius necromancer in history, capable of turning even the most insignificant skeleton into something magical in his hands.
Faced with a skeleton that had clearly been carefully enhanced by the Ark, Lu Renjia couldn't help but feel uneasy.
I can't afford to be defeated by a mere apprentice-level skeleton.
If he were to fail here and be defeated by a low-level skeleton, it would become a stain on his life.
Otherwise, if this news reached the ears of the other cadets at Haicheng Military Academy, he would be forever etched in the annals of shame and ridiculed for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Lu Renjia slightly raised the apprentice greatsword in his hand.
The tip of the sword trembled slightly, as if sensing the fluctuations in its master's heart.
His gaze became more focused, his breathing gradually became rapid, and he entered a state of high alert.
Everything around him seemed to blur, except for the skull in front of him and the sword in his hand.
Seeing that Lu Renjia was ready for battle, Fangzhou gestured to him and said, "Senior Brother Lu, I'm ready to attack."
Then, he gently waved his staff, conveying a message to Olaf.
"attack!"
Olaf, summoned by the main body, is currently only a Berserker with the Golden Body skill among the apprentices due to his limited strength.
Nevertheless, even when facing Lu Renjia, who rose from apprentice to master, Olaf was in no way inferior in terms of the number of skills and the degree of mastery.
The difference in strength between the two lies only in the difference of one minor realm, as well as Olaf's inherent disadvantage in combat power coefficient due to being a member of the skeleton race.
However, Olaf was not fighting alone in this battle.
There were 59 other members of his kind around him.
Together, they provided Olaf with a powerful "Coronation of Death" energy boost.
This energy converged into a surging force, making Olaf's energy aura exceptionally powerful, enough to rival Lu Renjia. When the Ark issued the attack order, Olaf immediately prepared.
Its legs were slightly bent, and its entire skeleton was taut, like a fully drawn bow ready to be released.
With a command, Olaf accelerated like an arrow released from a bow, rushing towards Lu Renjia.
During the sprint, it activated the Berserker's Berserk skill.
A dark red light instantly enveloped its body, bringing its speed and power to an unprecedented peak.
Among the spectators, all eyes were fixed on Lu Renjia.
As the one with the advantage of rising from apprenticeship, Lu Renjia naturally wouldn't back down.
He let out a deafening roar, gripping the apprentice's greatsword tightly in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he activated his charge skill, rushing towards Olaf like a gust of wind.
The two figures collided at an astonishing speed, and the powerful shockwave seemed to be felt in the air.
With a deafening roar, the two weapons clashed for the first time, unleashing a shocking power.
The berserker's twin axes and the apprentice's greatsword clashed back and forth.
Each clash was accompanied by the clanging of metal, with sparks flying everywhere.
Olaf's fighting style, like the two axes in his hands, is simple yet deadly.
Each attack or being attacked ignites the pent-up rage within it.
When anger reaches its peak, it can mobilize that energy at will.
It not only enhances one's own attack power, but also strengthens the effects of other skills, making them more powerful than ever before.
[Provocation] is also an indispensable part of Olaf's combat strategy.
【Berserker's Golden Body】is Olaf's defensive symbol, an unbreakable bulwark.
In the heat of battle, he buried his anger deep within himself, making his defenses even more formidable.
Under Lu Renjia's fierce and brutal attacks, Olaf's [Berserker's Body] was like an insurmountable wall.
All attacks seemed to be absorbed and transformed into capital for its further rampage.
【Berserk】 is Olaf's ultimate form.
When the pent-up anger overflowed, it unleashed its pent-up power without hesitation.
At that moment, its body seemed to be enveloped by a mysterious energy.
Each axe blow carries the force of an overwhelming mountain.
Olaf did not master any proactive offensive skills during his apprenticeship.
Despite this, thanks to its superb combat experience and extremely high proficiency with the Berserker's Twin Axes, each swing of its axe carried immense power, unexpectedly overwhelming Lu Renjia.
Although Lu Renjia is not to be underestimated, his brutal attacks have been the nightmare of countless monsters.
But these attacks seemed rather weak and ineffective against Olaf.
Olaf's [Berserker Mode] rendered Lu Renjia's every attempt futile, and even accelerated Olaf's entry into [Berserk Mode].
The pace.
After several failed attacks, Lu Renjia naturally found himself in a very passive position.
As the battle continued, he found himself losing control of the battlefield.
The original balance of power is gradually dissipating, replaced by a growing disadvantage.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Renjia knew that if he continued to fight, he would be in a very unfavorable situation.
So he quickly adjusted his breathing, preparing to activate his charge skill, intending to create distance from Olaf in order to adjust his state and rethink his tactics.
However, at this crucial moment, Olaf's soul fire burned exceptionally fiercely, releasing a desire to seize the opportunity.
This provocative intent acted like an invisible chain, directly affecting Lu Renjia's mental state and igniting his fighting spirit.
Under the influence of the taunting skill, Lu Renjia's anger was instantly ignited.
He, who was originally calm and composed, became hot-blooded and lost control of his emotions.
Just as Lu Renjia was trying to forcefully activate his charge skill, he found that his body seemed to be out of control, and his internal energy was in disarray.
The skill failed to be released directly.
This fatal mistake gave Olaf a golden opportunity.
Without hesitation, it seized the opportunity, steadily and relentlessly pressing forward, wielding its berserker double axes to drive Lu Renjia step by step into a desperate situation, never giving him another chance to turn the tide.
Although Lu Renjia was a human warrior with a cultivation level of upper apprentice, Olaf was merely a weak mid-apprentice skeleton.
However, with the help of the Death's Crown skill, Olaf's four main attributes—Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Spirit—are significantly enhanced.
The deficiency in racial combat power coefficient has also been completely compensated for.
This change gave Olaf an absolute advantage in the battle, almost completely dominating Rurenjia.
On the battlefield, the sounds of clashing weapons echoed continuously.
Lu Renjia was panting heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead and soaking his clothes.
He did everything he could to find an opportunity to counterattack and hope to turn the tide.
However, Olaf is like a perfectly precise fighting machine.
Every attack and defense was calculated perfectly, leaving no loopholes to exploit. On the contrary, Lu Renjia exposed more weaknesses in his repeated attempts to counterattack.
Finally, Olaf seized an opportunity.
Using a combination of clamping, twisting, and spinning with his double axes, he cleverly snatched the apprentice's greatsword from Lu Renjia's hands and threw it on the ground.
Having lost his weapon and left unarmed, Lu Renjia was clearly no match for Olaf, who was wielding two axes, and could only manage to parry a few blows.
Faced with Olaf's relentless offensive, Lu Renjia began to feel overwhelmed, and every step seemed extremely difficult.
Just then, Fangzhou keenly sensed the change in the situation.
He promptly conveyed to Olaf the idea of pausing the attack and temporarily halting the fighting.
With Ark's intervention, Olaf halted his attack rhythm, and the battle subsided.
Seeing Olaf finally retreat, Lu Renjia was able to relax a little.
At that moment, he felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally, and could no longer hold on. He collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
His body trembled from the intensity of the battle, and sweat dripped from his forehead like fine rain, soaking his clothes.
After a while, as his heavy breathing gradually subsided, Lu Renjia managed to regain some strength.
His cheeks were flushed, clearly deeply annoyed by his poor performance in the battle.
With a wry smile, he looked up at Fangzhou: "Fangzhou, I'm really sorry."
I'm too weak; I can't even satisfy one of your skeleton soldiers.
What a disappointment!
Seeing that his senior brother Lu Renjia's Dao heart seemed to be on the verge of collapse, Fang Zhou couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
He walked over, squatted down, and gently patted Lu Renjia's shoulder, trying to give him some strength.
"Senior Brother Lu, you don't need to blame yourself so much."
