Chapter 163 Mutant Skeleton Warrior? A Frenzied Sweep!
Nodding in satisfaction, Ark found a simulation pod, updated its projection, and then directly entered the Abyss difficulty [Horned Demon Outpost].
The long-unseen thick fog rose again.
The earth shook violently, and dust flew everywhere.
[Summon Skeleton] Activated!
Ark skillfully summoned 60 units, which arranged themselves in a neat formation around him.
Then, he selected a servant with the most vibrant soul fire, its mysterious purple light shimmering in its eyes.
The deathly silence in the air seemed to be activated, and the power of death gathered on this skeleton servant who was fortunate enough to become the vessel of a heroic spirit.

Amidst the sounds of bones sprouting and growing, Olaf, wielding two axes and exuding a ferocious aura, successfully arrived.
Its eye sockets burned with an indomitable fighting spirit, silently guarding the ark's side.
Immediately afterwards, Fangzhou drank the mental energy recovery potion and activated the [Calm and Composed] skill, restoring his mental energy to 80%.
With everything in place, he gently waved his staff, commanding an army far larger than ever before to break through the thick fog and charge directly toward the Horned Demon outpost.
At this moment, some trainees in the training field finally noticed the ark's movements.
One student exclaimed, "Look, the Ark expert is here again! He's challenging the Horned Demon Outpost on Abyss difficulty!"
Another student remained calm and dismissive, saying, "Hasn't he already cleared it dozens of times? He could have soloed it long ago. What's so surprising?"
"This time is different!"
The student who had spoken earlier took a closer look at the impressive lineup summoned by the Ark in the battle live stream and couldn't help but gasp.
"Hiss, this time Boss Fang summoned at least 20 more skeletons than before, and there was also a burly guard with two axes by his side."
"Strange, I've never seen this dual-axe skeleton during previous dungeon hunts."
"What?!"
The students who had previously acted as if it wasn't a big deal now had a change of expression.
He quickly looked at the battle screen and exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't it said that apprentice-level skeletons don't have weapons, and only black iron-level skeleton warriors can condense their bones into weapons?"
Why is it that Ark, who is only a mid-level apprentice, can summon skeletons with weapons?
One student muttered to himself, "Perhaps this is just a mutated skeleton."
The world's great wonders.
Given that Fangzhou is such a monstrous genius, I wouldn't be surprised if something illogical happened to him.
Let's see how strong this mutated skeleton is in combat.
The student who first spotted Olaf breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How long do you think it will take the Ark pros to clear this time?"
One student responded, "His previous best time was 18 minutes, ranking second on the all-time speedrun leaderboard, second only to the three-person team of [Flame Dragon Knight] Wenjiu."
I suspect that this time, Fangzhou might be able to break Wenjiu and the others' historical record.
Dominating the all-time speedrun leaderboard while soloing a team dungeon!
Upon hearing this, all the students watching the battle held their breath and focused their attention on the live broadcast of the battle on the Ark.

Ark and his army of skeletons quickly approached the horned demon outposts, which were heavily guarded.
Under the precise shots of the bone spears, the six lesser demon sentries outside the outpost only had time to issue a warning before being instantly killed by the Ark.
Then, amidst the sickening creaking of skeletons grinding together, the army of skeletons swiftly surged into the outpost.
[Berserker Heroic Spirit] Olaf took the lead, leading his skeleton army to block the giant axe-wielding, heavily armored horned demon and its demon army that had come upon hearing the news, in the outpost hall.
The heavily armored, giant axe-wielding horned demon roared deafeningly, and at its command, the demons surrounding it began to stir.
The lesser demons and demon children screamed, brandishing their sharp claws and wands, and surged towards the skull's defenses like a tidal wave.
Olaf didn't hesitate at all; he strode forward and charged straight at the heavily armored, giant axe-wielding horned demon.
The bone axes flashed through the air, leaving two streaks of cold light. Then, their soul fire trembled violently, emitting a cry that pierced the soul, instantly attracting the horned demon's full attention.
[Provocation] Skill activated!
Olaf successfully ignited the horned demon's anger. It no longer cared about commanding its lesser demons and demon children, and charged towards Olaf.
The duel between the two was like a reenactment of an ancient war, with each collision causing the hall to tremble.
Although Olaf was not nearly as imposing as the heavily armored, axe-wielding horned demon, he managed to withstand the demon's heavy blows thanks to the power of his heroic spirit and the enhancement of [Berserker's Golden Body], while constantly looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
This scene deeply moved all the students watching the Ark live stream.
In the battles he fought in the Abyss difficulty [Horned Demon Outpost] before the Ark, he always surrounded the Horned Demons by commanding his army of skeletons and then slowly whittled them down.
Although there were no mishaps each time, it never felt quite as satisfying.
But this time, a single double-axe monster easily blocked the fully armed, heavily armored axe-wielding horned demon, making it roar repeatedly but unable to do anything about it.
These trainees couldn't help but wonder what exactly these strange double axes were.
Meanwhile, the Ark was not idle.
Due to the limitations of the realm, the Olaf summoned by the main body only unlocked the [Golden Body] skill tree.
Its defense is very strong, but its attack power is not outstanding.
Olaf's strength alone is insufficient to defeat the heavily armored, axe-wielding horned demon in a short period of time.
Fangzhou was well aware of this.
Unlike the previous dungeon hunt, the [Simulated Battlefield] does not require consideration of prolonged combat.
Furthermore, his purpose this time was to challenge the speed record, so he naturally wouldn't be stingy with his mental energy.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Horned Demon boss was successfully distracted by Olaf's [Provocation] skill, Ark gently waved his staff and unleashed the [Bone Lock] skill, which had just been perfected to its limit.
Several twisted, snake-like chains of bone rose into the air, firmly binding the panting, heavily armored, axe-wielding horned demon.
It roared to the sky, trying to struggle, but the skeletal lock, having absorbed the advantages of the [Spirit Cage Technique], was extremely resilient.
With their coordinated attacks, no matter how much the horned demon struggled, it could not break these chains.
Not to mention, the faint chirping sounds emanating from the bone chains greatly interfered with the horned demon boss's efforts to mobilize its magic power.
Kill it while it's sick!
Fangzhou immediately took out a faintly glowing [Charging Scroll] from inside his robe.
These unique items and equipment are also an important part of a professional's combat power, and naturally they can all be projected onto the simulated battlefield.
The runes on the scroll shimmered with his incantation, and an unseen energy surged into his body, casting a deathly glow over his pale fingers.
