The Achievement Junkie Chapter 522 Duorda's Endless Summons!

Chapter 522 Duorda“s Endless Summons!

As Jack finished the third Undead Dragon, he turned to Duorda and began his walk back to the main fight. But the earth shook again as four more Undead Dragons revealed themselves.
Duorda commented, "You shattered their bones… A good move. That keeps me from resummoning them."
Jack challenged the dragon's charge, understanding that Duorda likely had more summons than the hero could imagine. If Duorda was old enough to know of Daruun and his true role in the world, then there's no telling how many different beasts or people had come to challenge the crypt lord over time. And remembering Duorda's earlier comment in the battle, Jack assumed that these Undead Dragons were once Duorda's challengers. This was more clear as the newest four Undead Dragons were different from the first three.
The first three dragons were all twenty meters long and were thinner with a large wingspan. But the cour new dragons had no wings. Instead, they were huge in stature, and their bones were incredibly thick and dense. Jack could assume that the first three were made from Storm Dragons while the newest Undead Dragons were once Quake Dragons.
Those four dragons ran at top speed into Jack's blade. Their stronger bone structures proved more formidable against Jack's powerful sword strikes, but not unbreakable.
It took more swings of the sword, but Jack learned that he could still manage against those four dragons with his current skill set.
As the lead Undead Dragon attacked Jack yet again, Jack vanished with Sudden Death. The hero reappeared above the dragon's neck. Purple energy coated his blade this time, using Spatial Slash in conjunction with the five attack combo. It ate a lot more mana but it proved to be incredibly potent.
The Undead Dragon roared as its neck was severed and its head dropped to the floor. When the head finally grew quiet, Jack attacked the head with his fire combo. It managed to crack the skull and leave the rest of the skeleton lifeless as it collapsed to the ground.
Repeating this tactic, Jack targeted the next Undead Dragon. However, as Jack decapitated that dragon he noticed a ray of black energy fall upon the last dragon that Jack slew.
"So long as at least eighty percent of the skeleton remains, I can keep them as soldiers," Duorda commented as the other skeleton reformed without a head and whipped its club-like tail a Jack.
Unhappy to see that, Jack finally covered his entire body in flames. Keeping his flame body at Jack's usual size, Jack wielded the katana with white and black flames. Combining the sword wave attacks with his hellish fire was devastating to the headless skeleton. It was reduced to cinders, as was the second Undead Dragon that Jack finished off.
"Oh, so you were still hiding your strength? Wonderful!" Duorda shouted.
Jack paid the crypt lord less attention as he rushed on the third dragon, only to find both the third and fourth Undead Dragons working together. And as Jack reached them, a black bolt of lightning shot toward the hero.
With Sudden Death, Jack managed to evade the black bolt while also cleaving one dragon's head in two. Using Sudden Death, the sword technique, and the bloodline skill together allowed Jack to destroy the skeletal remains of the dragons with relative ease.
"Then try this!"
The crypt lord laughed as another pulse of black energy filled the chamber. Everything shook as over a hundred human skeletons rose up from the ground.
Jack was ready to take them on but was startled by their apparel. It was nothing like the typical horde that Duorda would summon in-game.
Each skeleton was wearing armor or a magical robe. Then, each skeleton picked up one of the many items littering the chamber floors. But half a dozen skeletons were unarmed, even though there were still plenty of weapons strewn about.
One skeleton charged at Jack with haste. It had a taught bun of withered hair and wore a tattered kimono in deep need of a wash and restitching, but Jack recognized the legendary getup instantly.
Not hesitating, Jack tore into the skeleton. His flaming combo attacks aimed for the forearms, ankles, and neck, all of which were left unguarded by the kimono. Being outside of the game meant that even legendary items weren't as effective now that they too had to follow the logic and physics of reality.
As Jack rendered the skeleton unable to attack, he stole the kimono and shattered the remains. It was obvious that the undead samurai was after the katana that Jack wielded.
Following that, Jack was swarmed by the skeletons with close-combat weapons and barraged by attacks from undead mages, archers, and other long-range fighters.
"Now you'll understand what I've experienced all these years!" shouted Duorda, cackling to himself. "Show me your everything! If not, your death will only come quicker!"
Unflinching, Jack used Sudden Death to reposition himself and avoid the barrage of attacks. While those long-range attacks fell on the warriors that charged Jack, the hero reappeared fifty meters away and still inside the horde.
But the skeletons became slower while Jack only got faster. Jack cast Spatial Disruption while adding the minokawa form to his flame body. His menu was open again as Jack covered the surrounding enemies in flaming wind blades. This held them off and gave Jack a moment to upgrade a skill, his companion bloodline skill.
As the bloodline skill reached lv. 7 for six hundred and forty skill points, Jack noticed a drastic decrease in his mana consumption. He knew it would help him in this long battle but not to such an extreme. However, it made sense when Jack thought about how much mana it would cost for three bloodlines to be active at one time.
Over a dozen undead warriors were turned to ash as their most powerful items were left among their remains.
Witnessing that, Duorda chuckled, "Magnificent! Show me your everything! Perhaps I'll gain the chance to show you mine!"
