Chapter 7: Magic-Breaking Crossbow

“Get out of the way!”

Seeing that Skeleton Mage Hall had cast Fireball, Thomas immediately called for the two archers to dodge.

The two archers reacted very quickly. When they saw the fireball coming, they immediately hid behind the battlements.

Boom! The emerald fireball hit the top of the Arrow Tower.

A big hole instantly appeared on the top of the brick and tile tower.

“You’re hiding fast! Let’s see how long you can hide!” Skeleton Mage Hall said as he continued to cast the Fireball spell.

In the blink of an eye, another emerald-green fireball hit the Arrow Tower.

Boom!

With an explosion, a large hole appeared on the wall. An archer was injured by the flying debris.

“No, we can’t just passively take the hit. If this goes on, this Arrow Tower will be torn down by him. I have to think of a solution.” Thomas thought quickly and thought of a solution.

Now that Skeleton Mage Hall was 50 meters away from them, he could let the four elite close-combat soldiers deal with them.

However, in theory, an elite close-combat soldier could deal with a level 2 dark creature or four level 1 dark creatures.

There were two level 2 dark creatures on the other side. They were Skeleton Mage Hall and another Skeleton Knight who had a defensive aura.

There were also twelve level 1 Skeleton Soldiers.

From the data on the paper, Thomas’ side was slightly weaker.

In addition, the strength of the Skeleton Mage Hall and the Skeleton Knight who knew aura skills were stronger than ordinary dark creatures, so Thomas’ side was at a greater disadvantage.

They might even be able to destroy these four melee soldiers.

“I have to think of a way to break open his turtle shell and release the archers. This way, the balance of power can be reversed.”

Thomas quickly focused his attention on the Skeleton Knight that knew a defensive aura.

However, the Skeleton Knight stood in the middle of the team far away from the Blood Spike and the Wall of Bones. It was impossible to rely on these two buildings to kill the other party.

Thomas could only find another way.

Thomas quickly flipped through the blueprints in his mind, hoping to find a building that suited his current situation.

“Low consumption, high attack power, able to break through the defense halo, got it!”

Thomas found a building in his mind.

[Magic-Breaking Crossbow, small city defense weapon, with magic-breaking runes, able to break all types of Level 2 shields, range 100 meters. Construction requirement: 2 Level 2 magic cores]

It specialized in breaking all types of level 2 shields!

Moreover, it only required two level 2 magic cores. It was simply too cheap.

Thomas had a level 2 magic core in his hands. In addition to the buff of a Super Architect that saved half of the materials, it was just enough to be built.

“Build Magic-Breaking Crossbow!”

Thomas slapped the magic core on the ground.

A magic array appeared on the ground. In the blink of an eye, a bronze crossbow appeared on the ground.

All kinds of runes were engraved on the crossbow, making it look very mysterious.

[Magic-Breaking Crossbow discovered. Super Enhancement System triggered. Increasing…]

[Magic-Breaking Crossbow increased to Heavy Magic-Breaking Crossbow.]

[Heavy Magic-Breaking Crossbow: A heavy city defense weapon with magic-breaking runes. It can break through all kinds of level 4 shields and has a range of 500 meters.]

The Magic-Breaking Crossbow, which was less than two feet long, suddenly became bigger. Now, the crossbow was two meters long. The arrows in the crossbow slot looked like a spear, full of killing intent.

“This thing is enough to deal with that Skeleton Knight, right?” Thomas excitedly aimed the Heavy Magic-Breaking Crossbow at the Skeleton Knight.

Fortunately, the Heavy Magic-Breaking Crossbow had a convenient rotating base, a sight, and even helped to set up the bowstring. Otherwise, Thomas would not be able to understand this thing for a while.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the heavy crossbow, the Skeleton Knight in the team was stunned.

It thought that it had seen wrongly, and subconsciously rubbed its eyes.

It was really a crossbow, and it was heavy.

No matter how strong its shield was, it would not be able to withstand this thing.

It was just about to remind Skeleton Mage Hall, but Thomas had already locked onto it.

“Goodbye!” Thomas pulled the trigger.

Whoosh!

The heavy crossbow arrow shot through the huge bone shield like lightning, shooting the Skeleton Knight down from the horse.

The Skeleton Knight was indeed experienced in battle. Even though it was locked onto by the Heavy Magic-Breaking Crossbow, it still turned its shield at the last moment and twisted its body.

It let the crossbow bolt miss a little.

Even though the crossbow bolt still inevitably pierced through its body…

It avoided the life core at the heart, preventing it from dying on the spot.

However, it was still pinned to the ground by the powerful force of the crossbow arrow.

At the same time, the indestructible White Bone Shield shattered.

Skeleton Mage Hall and the Skeleton Soldiers were exposed.

For a moment, Skeleton Mage Hall and the Skeleton Soldiers were stunned.

They did not understand why the indestructible White Bone Shield had shattered so easily.

“Good chance!”

Seeing that the White Bone Shield had shattered, Thomas understood that his chance to counterattack had come. He immediately said to the two archers, “Quick, attack them. Kill as many of them as you can.”

“Yes!”

The two archers immediately stood out from behind the wall and shot arrows of revenge at the Skeleton Soldiers.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Without the protection of the White Bone Shield, the level 1 Skeleton Soldiers were like chickens waiting to be slaughtered in front of the level 2 archers. In an instant, three or four of them were killed.

“O’Neill, bring your men and kill that Skeleton Mage. Don’t let anyone escape!”

“Yes, Sir!”

O’Neill, who had been hiding behind the Wall of Bones, immediately jumped out from behind the Wall of Bones when he heard the order. He raised the long spear in his hand into the air and said, “Charge! Kill all the dark creatures! Kill the Skeleton Mage!”

“Charge! Kill all the dark creatures and kill the Skeleton Mage!”

The four soldiers behind him also shouted loudly. Then, they climbed over the Wall of Bones together and charged toward Skeleton Mage Hall.

Seeing the situation turn around in an instant, Skeleton Mage Hall’s eyes were full of anger. It was confident of victory a few seconds ago, but in the blink of an eye, it was defeated like a mountain.

It stared at Thomas, who was standing on the Arrow Tower, its eyes full of hatred.

“Despicable human, I will remember you. Don’t be complacent. I will come back with more servants soon. I will break into your camp, drag you out, peel off your flesh and blood, and treat your bones as my collection.”

As Skeleton Mage Hall spoke, it took out a sheepskin scroll from its robe.

This was the teleportation scroll it used to save its life.

As long as it opened the scroll and spent three seconds to activate the spell on it, the scroll would be able to bring it to the marked location.

“Goodbye, despicable human! Wait for my revenge!” Skeleton Mage Hall said as it opened the scroll in its hand.
