Chapter 387 -387-Yorick, the Final Battle
The Skeleton King’s massive body was almost shattered by a single lash of the whip!
The sight instantly left the demon race experts watching from the sidelines so shocked their jaws nearly dropped.
Was this real?
This was a monster summoned by two Abyss Overseers working together, and it had been defeated so easily?
On the other side, Yorick reacted extremely quickly.
The very moment he saw the Skeleton King’s body break apart, he was already prepared to flee.
As for Karsus, he could let that guy take some of the fire for him.
Yorick had never felt the slightest bit ashamed about selling out his teammates. After all, in the Abyss, the law of the jungle was everything. Betraying an ally was nothing more than a basic survival tactic.
In the next instant, Yorick’s figure shot off into the distance!
He continuously burned his own law-power, with only one goal in mind: to escape with his life.
When it came to running for his life, Yorick displayed considerable talent. In almost an instant, he had already vanished from where he stood.
At the same time, in order to prevent himself from being locked onto, he even shattered a portion of his law-power to disrupt Caelan’s tracking.
"Wait... Lord Yorick is running away?"
A demon race expert wore an expression that suggested his entire worldview had collapsed.
His companion looked just as confused.
"I think... that might really be the case. After all, there are only these two Overseers left in our Abyss now. If Yorick runs away..."
"Then our Abyss will completely become Deathborn territory?"
For a moment, despair surged through the hearts of the demon race experts present.
Faced with an enemy as powerful as Caelan, they could not even muster the thought of resisting. All they could think about was whether they could beg for his forgiveness, or wait until His Majesty, the Lord of Abyss, returned.
In short, at this critical moment, no one was going to step forward and help Yorick.
On the other side, Yorick seemed to understand his situation very clearly as well. He did not waste any more words and simply ran with everything he had, even if it meant burning the origin of his laws.
That desperate attitude even stunned Karsus, who was still buried inside the grave.
Damn that Yorick!
He had actually run away?
Karsus instantly realized that he was about to become the other man’s scapegoat. Without any hesitation, he unleashed a skill and blasted away the soil covering him.
"What the hell! Lord Karsus just rose from the dead?"
"Now I’ve really seen everything. Even the tombstone got blasted away!"
Under the gazes of the demon race experts, Karsus did not hesitate either. He immediately packed up and fled as well.
Compared with Yorick’s method of escape, Karsus was clearly much better prepared.
He pulled out a portion of spatially active material from his storage space and crushed it with force.
In the next moment, a spatial rift actually appeared in front of him.
And the environment on the other side seemed to still be somewhere within the Abyss.
"You think you can escape right under my nose? How laughable."
Caelan snorted coldly, then pressed downward with one hand.
In the next instant, a vast mass of black clouds suddenly gathered above the Abyss.
Within just a few breaths, the black clouds had already spread across the entire sky. At the same time, thunder rolled continuously within them, flashing with a terrifying power that made one’s scalp go numb.
"Next, let thunder judge your sins."
As Caelan’s words fell, the lightning seemed to find its outlet and began smashing down toward the ground.
No matter how far Yorick and Karsus fled, as long as they were still within the Abyss, the lightning would lock onto them and eventually descend above their heads.
In the sky, silver serpents danced wildly.
Who knew how many demon race awakeners had already chosen to retreat on their own? Especially those weaker awakeners—they wished they could leave this dangerous area at the very first moment.
Moreover, Caelan knew very well that both Yorick and Karsus possessed power at an extremely high level.
If he wanted to kill them, relying on simple thunder alone would probably not be enough.
At a time like this, what he needed was a little ingenuity.
For example...
On the other side, under Caelan’s control, the spatial blade storm no longer existed in the form of a chaotic storm of blades. Instead, it moved with remarkable intelligence and appeared directly beneath the thunder.
Every time a bolt of lightning struck down, the spatial blades would precisely tear open space, allowing the thunder to descend right above Yorick and Karsus.
After the lightning struck, the spatial blades would fall as well, combining with the thunder to form a linked assault.
At that moment, Yorick and Karsus were completely numb.
They wanted to flee, but no matter where they ran, they had to constantly guard against the thunder falling from above.
The key problem was that the number of lightning bolts was becoming denser and denser. At first, there had been one bolt every ten seconds. Now, it had become ten bolts every second.
If this continued, Yorick and Karsus would never be able to hold out!
At that moment, both of their hearts nearly leapt into their throats.
They even had a terrible premonition, but they could not find any suitable way to deal with it.
While Yorick and Karsus struggled desperately, they did not even realize that they had already remained in the same place for quite some time.
Under the dense barrage of thunder, trying to escape was nothing more than a fool’s dream.
A deep sense of powerlessness and despair rose in the hearts of Yorick and Karsus.
But their intense desire to survive erupted once again.
The wealthier someone was, and the higher their status, the more they cherished their own life.
Therefore, whether it was Yorick or Karsus, neither of them would allow themselves to be injured, let alone lose their lives.
"Damn it, Karsus! We have to think of something!"
"I swear to the heavens, that brat Caelan is absolutely doing this on purpose. We have to find a way to temporarily avoid this thunder!"
Although Karsus no longer trusted Yorick in the slightest, he knew very well that Yorick was telling the truth.
If they did not find a way to deal with this thunder, they really would die here.
And so, the situation that followed changed from a one-sided assault into both sides attacking each other.
While enduring the thunder, Yorick and Karsus also launched attacks against the black clouds.
Their powerful law energy tore the black clouds apart almost instantly.
But that was only temporary.
Before long, the black clouds would gather once again.
"So what exactly are we supposed to do?"
Karsus’s voice already carried a trace of fear.
At this moment, Yorick was equally tense.
"Maybe we can think about this from another angle. For example... what if we blow the black clouds away?"
"Without the black clouds, the thunder will naturally disappear, won’t it?"
