"The Coffin Ruler..."

The Skeleton Saint’s eyes flickered with a touch of affinity, longing to call out to it, but he stifled the urge. After all, the Coffin Ruler had acknowledged another as its master, it could never return to the past.

At this, the Skeleton Saint felt the taste of abandonment, a complex mix of emotions surged inside him, and his eyes filled with desolation.

"Skeleton Warrior, hurry up, these damned chains, I don’t want to see them for another moment!"

"That’s easy to say!"

Su Ran clenched the Coffin Ruler with both hands, leapt high, and with a fierce momentum, slammed it onto one of the taut chains.

It wasn’t hard to see that Su Ran had mimicked the Berserker’s Jump Cut skill, and looking at the stance, it appeared quite authentic.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal on metal echoed throughout the space.

With that single strike, a numbing sensation spread through Su Ran’s palms, nearly causing him to lose his grip on the Coffin Ruler. He staggered backward several steps before managing to absorb the rebound force from the chains.

"Shame, if only I were a Berserker, cutting these chains with the Coffin Ruler would be a piece of cake!"

Su Ran increasingly felt the Coffin Ruler’s mismatch with himself. Moreover, the effect of the control talisman could only last for five minutes, meaning he had to sever the chains within that time to break the seal. Facing such a tense situation, Su Ran could only go all out, using all of his strength to continually slash at the chains.

"Crack!" "Crack!"

With Su Ran’s full force, the Coffin Ruler struck the chains repeatedly, and the grating noise reverberated through the space.

Seeing this, the Skeleton Saint couldn’t help but frown, whether it was due to the irritating noise or Su Ran’s clumsy handling of the Coffin Ruler.

"Laughable, that a Mage class can gain the Coffin Ruler’s approval is simply a waste of heaven’s gifts!"

The Skeleton Saint couldn’t understand, couldn’t see through it. The Coffin Ruler’s choice of master overturned his understanding, and he was filled with reluctance and questions at the same time.

"Skeleton Warrior, could you, lend me the Coffin Ruler for just one use?"

After waiting for a moment, the Skeleton Saint, unable to bear it any longer, asked Su Ran in a subdued voice. It was ironic that the Coffin Ruler, once his signature magic weapon, could now only be borrowed from another.

"Your Highness, the Skeleton Saint, with your current weakened state, can you manage it?"

Su Ran looked at the old skeleton with some apprehension. His main concern was that the hard-won magic weapon could be forcefully taken over again, and that would be a real trouble.

"Even in my weakness, I am still stronger than you!"

The Skeleton Saint’s face turned a steel blue, deeply lamenting the fate of the Coffin Ruler. To be bound to such a weak master, to possess great strength yet be unable to showcase it, was truly a desolate state.

Uh.

Telling such harsh truths made even himself feel a bit embarrassed...

Su Ran cast a resentful glance at the Skeleton Saint but offered no retort. He knew that with his Mage physique, using the Coffin Ruler did indeed seem out of place, and if it weren’t for the control talisman, he probably could never wield such a magic weapon in his life.

"Well, Your Highness, you need to make a vow to the supreme rules. This treasure is a magic weapon, you know its value..."

After more than a dozen cuts, the chain hardly showed signs of damage. Su Ran decisively gave up and looked at the magic weapon in his hand with reluctance. He voiced his concerns to the Skeleton Saint with some hesitation.

If it weren’t for the supreme rules constraining, this Skeleton Saint’s forceful possession of the Demon weapon without returning it would indeed leave Su Ran without a way to handle it.

"Deceitful undead skeleton, how can your kind, the undead, produce such a vile creature?!"

The Skeleton Saint nearly laughed in anger, it, a noble undead of the Skeleton Saint class, actually being guarded against by a mere skeleton warrior was a hit to its dignity. To put it bluntly, this was outright bullying!

"Thank you for the compliment, my lord."

Su Ran didn’t really care, as long as he could keep the Demon weapon, it didn’t matter to him how the Skeleton Saint viewed him!

"Very well, very well, very well!"

The Skeleton Saint forcefully suppressed the anger in its heart. Bound by the oath of the Heavenly Dao, it was unable to have the thought of killing Su Ran and could only glower fiercely at the skeleton before it, submitting to the situation at hand.

"My lord Skeleton Saint, if you were in such a hurry to use it, why bother swearing an oath? Isn’t that showing unnecessary formality?"

Once the Skeleton Saint had finished uttering the oath, Su Ran then approached with a smiling face, very enthusiastically handing over the great coffin ruler to the Skeleton Saint’s hands, "We come from the same origin, helping each other is only right and proper."

After listening to Su Ran, the Skeleton Saint lost the desire to converse further, not dying from anger was already considered great fortune...

"Shatter for me!"

The Skeleton Saint gathered all its strength, bellowed with a roar, infusing its grudge against Su Ran into the action, and brought the great coffin ruler down with the force of thunder upon the chains as thick as an arm right before it.

"Clang!!!"

A tremendous collision noise exploded on the spot, the chains couldn’t withstand such a force, creating numerous afterimages, with a constant humming sound.

When the chains gradually returned to calm, Su Ran then noticed a fine crack had appeared on them, he couldn’t help but inwardly remark, truly worthy of the Skeleton Saint, indeed impressive!

As the saying goes, an expert is recognized by a single move, even though the Skeleton Saint was in a sealed state and couldn’t exert much strength, it was still far stronger than Su Ran. By comparison, Su Ran’s physical attacks could only be considered child’s play and not up to standard.

However, Su Ran had already become accustomed to this embarrassing close combat mode; recalling the days when his attacks on enemies would end up healing them was a dark and miserable experience better left unmentioned.

With the hands-on assistance of the Skeleton Saint, the efficiency was greatly improved, and in no time, several chains had been broken, the desire to be unsealed was about to be fulfilled.

In light of this, Su Ran felt a tinge of frustration, had he known the Skeleton Saint could grasp the full form of the great coffin ruler, he wouldn’t have wasted the control talisman and could have used it to show off in the arena!

Alas, such a pity...

"Boom!"

Finally, the Skeleton Saint didn’t disappoint Su Ran’s expectations and split all the chains in two, finally eliminating the Sealing Power.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Without the suppression of the Sealing Power, the Skeleton Saint roared in excitement repeatedly to vent the pent-up frustration and resentment. The powerful sound waves were too much for even the Demon Tower to withstand, reverberating thunderously.

At the same time, the energy that had been dormant within the bone marrow of the Skeleton Saint erupted instantly, a surge of energy swirling and gushing out, pushing Su Ran to one side. Under such terrifying pressure, Su Ran even found it extremely difficult to move.

Terrifying!

Truly worthy of being the undead’s Skeleton Saint, what a formidable aura!

Seeing the change in the Skeleton Saint’s momentum, Su Ran was taken aback, he hadn’t expected that the BOSS’s strength would be so formidable, that not even the guardian of the Abyssal Lake could compare!
