Novel & Cerita Wither Skeleton

It was far worse because eternal life came with eternal sufferings. Xanthea gulped hard. Her grip tightening around the pouch filled with gold coins to make the payment because skeletons didn’t have a bank account, so they traded only in gold. Mostly, when an immortal turned into a living skeleton, they lost their previous identities, powers. Except for life running in their bones, they were left with nothing, not even enough strength to protect themselves. So they were captured and sold for medicinal purposes, mostly. They were also used for festive decorations; sometimes they had a rope tied around their cervical bones and hung them on their porch.

The air in the Valley of the Unborn didn't just carry the scent of death; it was composed of it. Every step we took into the concentric circles of ancient wolf skeletons produced a sound like dry parchment tearing. The bones were bleached a brilliant, unnatural white, contrasting sharply with the grey salt-dust that swirled around our ankles like a ground-level fog. These were not the remains of a single battle or a localized plague. These were the discarded skeletons of the First Alpha’s own pack—those who had been deemed "imperfect" when he sought to refine the shifter soul into a weapon of pure light.

I'd rather take this to my grave than have Collin know. I'm a tainted victim. My kisses are worthless. My touches are defiled. I am no longer human. I am murdered by the damned. I am a ghost. A ghost that walks through walls unnoticed. Ghosts are there but can't be hurt by the forces of this world. Forget eating, forget therapy, forget Italy, forget Collin... Forget...forget...forget...

Eventually, a faint light appeared before them, and Andrius looked over to see a human skeleton. As they closed in on it, Andrius could tell that the skeleton was badly damaged, but the main bones were still intact and emitting a faint light. Perhaps it was because they were getting closer, but Andrius could even feel a faint oppressive force constantly emanating from the skeleton. That pressure was even stronger than when he first encountered the Whirlwind Panther. “This is…” Inside the ring, Cedric was also stunned. “It’s a being from the Divine Realm. I wonder why they died here.”

Those pale, clouded accents weren't stones. They were bone. The vanguards watched in paralyzed revulsion as the projections slowed, showing the gruesome methodology of a High Councilor. They saw the spectral children shrieking in excruciating pain as Vane, with the steady hands of a jeweler, harvested their magic and their very skeletons while their hearts were still beating.

The sockets emit a faint light in them as the expressionless face of the skeleton stared straight into her eyes. Hellion sighed in helplessness. Looks like, she’ll die in a skeleton’s hand. Truly pitiful. Her body couldn’t move and everything felt numb. The cold started to chap her lips as the cold surface gradually seeps into her back making her tremble slightly. She wanted to laugh and cry as the thought of dying because of the cold or getting killed by a skeleton felt so funny. Was her life going to end here? In a cold desolate place with a pile of skeletons to accompany her. Hellion suddenly wrinkled her brows, didn’t she saw a person earlier? Where did she go?

They were vicious against enemies, the shapeless assassins and spies that could penetrate the defences of any threat whilst also providing aid to those that they obey. A faint shuddering in the shadows hinted at the appearance of the wolves. They moved cautiously, looking to avoid the last of the dappled light that fell between the pine trees. Slowly their forms took shape like watery images of beasts, their bodies floating and swirling like smoke and mist. Behind the witch, the warriors shifted uneasily, still not used to seeing these curious creatures. “Look, Signe! Do you see them?” Estrid cooed to her daughter, pointing to the first of the shadowy figures that stepped out from the roilin

" With such a reward, there would definitely be more volunteers! Fifteen million was too attractive to regular people! Shawn only had that way to increase the likelihood of saving Gale! The housekeeper answered, "Yes." Yet, everyone knew that the best time to save Gale had passed. After a whole night of not finding Gale, they would only find a corpse, even if they were lucky enough to find her. After being in the sea for too long, the corpse would deform and swell. There was no way to recognize the corpse. How could Shawn accept Gale looking like that?!

At this moment, as if they had seen something horrible, the corpses that surrounded him froze on the spot and then hurriedly retreated. Their panicked look was beyond words. "This is... advancement..." An unclear sentence came out of the human-shaped skeleton's mouth. He raised his hand to pull up the long spear inserted in the ground. With a kick of his leg bone, he suddenly turned into a white light and rushed out. The spear struck down like lightning. A fleeing corpse was nailed to the ground and exploded. The spear swept again. The two corpses in the distance exploded into mud. The rest of the corpses could not escape too far before they were destroyed by the human-shaped skeleton and tu

I brandished the bone saw so the skeleton could see it, then began to lower it. “Which one should I start with?” I said, gliding it along the skeleton’s ribs. “Your arm? Or maybe I should go big and start with a leg.” The skeleton squirmed beneath me, but I was far stronger. Skeletons were the lowest form of the undead; without muscle or flesh, they were incredibly weak compared to most other supernatural beings. Becoming an undead skeleton was a punishment brought about by angering a witch, not a blessing of eternal life like a vampire -- although, some would argue that vampires were more cursed than blessed.
