Chapter: 656
Since the swords had no hand-guard or cross-guard, they were simply just skewers with a sharp edge, and combined with the skeletons slender arm it would easily pierce any... openings.
The skeleton added so much force to this faithful attack that not only did the sword enter the creature, but its hand did too, going all the way up to its wrist.
The bear immediately responded with a fearsome raw to such a dangerous provocation; Jay couldn't see its eyes but he could tell they widened in shock as it clenched its jaws and tried to spin around to fight back.
Jay felt a sense of shame, but it was his only option. If the beast caught him, it would definitely torture him, and he would accept such a punishment for this inhuman violation.
Attacking its sacred vines was one thing, but this was something which made it ignore the vines altogether.
As it spun around, Red did too. It was still gripping the blade and cutting open the insides of the creature from behind though it was basically stuck.
The bear continued to spin though, and eventually Red's body collided with Lamp.
It was like the bear was chasing its own tail - if its tail was an undead skeleton anyway.
Jay would have laughed but it simply looked too painful, and he was grimacing instead.
The frightening feeling he got from powerful forest creature's presence was reduced to pity.
The bear finally realized what it needed to do.
Speeding to a nearby rock, it smashed Red's body into it at warp speed - the skeleton collapsed in a clinking of broken bones and dust which flew everywhere.
Lamp was attacking all this time, but would soon be slain as well.
All this time, the skeletons were only dodging its strikes as they learnt that a single hit would end them, or at least take them out of the fight.
With not much time left, Jay finally analyzed the bear.
