Assassin's Chronicle Chapter 576

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After the shock wave, Greenwich Island had become a mess . Not only was the skeleton army on the ground affected, the bone kekkai was affected as well . In several places, the kekkai was almost broken .

Minos' skeleton army was almost gone . Over half of the Knights of Death and the ghost dragons perished in the explosion . The ground was littered with broken pieces of bones . Only a few ghost dragons were left on the field, including Minos' mount, Jimeng . Jimeng's wings were missing, and its body was riddled with holes .

A dark figure rose into the air and flew toward the battlefield . The figure was very small, but as it approached, everyone felt a strong sense of pressure . Jimeng pressed its head to the ground and whined loudly . The other ghost dragons were not even able to move under such strong pressure .

Minos floated in mid-air, observing the destroyed army . The bone kekkai shook as he approached, showing how angry he was . Minos had been focusing too much on completing the Throne of Bones, and did not pay attention to other things . He ignored the top level powers that were present in the world, and did not think they would be able to find him . If he had managed to eliminated some of the top level powers, he could have sat upon the Throne without anyone trying to stop him .

Of course, Minos did not have any reason to worry . He did not expect anyone to find the island, and with the Throne, he was practically a god himself . With that kind of power, there was no reason for him to worry about mere mortals, even if they were top level powers . He absorbed the power of the necromancers residing on the island, and finished the Throne before the planned date . He had hoped that the skeleton army was enough to hold off any attacker for a few days, so he could have time to properly recover . Once he recovered, no one could stand in his way anymore .

AdvertisementMinos raised his hands and chanted, "In the name of gods…" A strong wave of magic surge swept through the battlefield . Dark grey light radiated out form Minos . The broken bones touched by the light suddenly regained their vitality and started moving again .

As Minos revived his skeleton army, four newcomers appeared in the center of Greenwich Island . The leader of the small party wore a long robe and a crown of thorns circling his silver hair .

The old man was followed by Ernest and two glowing Knights of Light . As soon as he stepped through the portal, Ernest drew his sword and formed into a triangular formation with the knights, protecting the old man .

The mountain of bones Minos had built had now disappeared, what remained was a large swirl . The swirl was slowly spinning, and the center of it was right below the center of the bone kekkai .

"But, didn't he open the gate?" the old man asked curiously .

"Maybe he's not powerful enough to overpower the master of the Land of Repose," Ernest said with a frown .

"Luckily for us, he won't have the chance," the old man with the crown of thorns said . He raised his hand and summoned a glowing shield that protected all four men .

In the distance, Saul and the others had fled the crack . They turned around and saw that a large pillar of light had pierced the bone kekkai . The pillar of light dissolved into countless sparks, both red and gold, which fell down through the air .

As the sparks fell onto the bone kekkai, the kekkai began to dissolve . Even though the kekkai could regenerate, there were too many sparks . The rate the sparks were dissolving the kekkai was too fast, and the rate of regeneration could not match it .

The skeletons, ghost dragons, and Knights of Death Minos had just revived let out a wave of shrill screams . As soon as the sparks touched the skeletons, the skeletons crumpled to the ground . Creatures created with death magic could not block the effects of the Judgement .

Minos let out a distorted scream . Even though the red sparks didn't do anything to him, the gold sparks could attack his soul . Necromancers were immortal, because they had gotten rid of their bodily restraints and relied solely on their souls . Even though Minos had summoned a shield, it was still not enough to block out the gold sparks .

As the shower of sparks came to an end, the top level powers stepped out of the dimensional sanctuary Saul had created and began heading toward the center of the island . The Judgment did not weaken Minos power . Instead, it seemed to have grown stronger . It was confusing, but now was not the time to think . They must reach the pope as soon as possible .

Pope William closed the Book of Doom . After he used the spell, he appeared older, and his face was flushed . He bent over and coughed a few times .

Pope William knew that the Throne of Bones was much more than a mere chair . It was something that could enhance the power and all creatures of death . It could also open the gate to the Land of Repose . This was why he needed to destroy the chair and prevent Minos from summoning creatures from another dimension .

Because of the pope's spell, the swirl was becoming unstable, and started spewing dark fog . As the pope was deciding his next move, he suddenly sensed something . A skeleton suddenly appeared in front of him, its eyes glowing intensely . Despite not having expression, it was clear that the skeleton was angry .

"Minos!" William said with wide eyes . He hurriedly waved his hand and released a shield of light .

Minos raised his hand and summoned a large bone lance . Before the lance even reached William, the magic attached to it pierced through the shield of light .

The bone lance crashed into the shield of light . The shield flickered a few times and disappeared . The knight to William's left raised his lance to stop the bone lance . The bone lance clashed with the knight's lance and threw the men backwards . Ernest lunged over and grabbed William, pushing him out of the way . The lance left a cut on William's robe and struck the ground, leaving a large crater .

The Knight of Light struggled to his feet . His lance was broken and his shield had a large dent in it . His left arm was clearly broken . He tried to use his shield to block the attack, but Minos was too powerful .

Saul and the other top level powers, who had just arrived, witnessed this as well . Everyone felt a sudden wave of despair . Minos was more powerful than they had ever anticipated .

"It's the Throne," Golman whispered hoarsely .

Morgan and Desvidia both sighed . They could feel their own power growing significantly as well . If their power has grown this much, how powerful must Minos be now?

"So you're all here now," Minos said coldly . Even though he was angry, he had lived long enough that he knew how to conceal his emotions . He raised his hand and summoned hundreds of black balls of light, sending them hurtling toward William .

In the distance, his army of skeletons reappeared, and was heading toward them quickly . The skeletons created with the Throne of Bones were stronger and smarter than normal skeletons, and much more loyal . Minos couldn't risk William destroying his army again .
