The Dungeon at night had a completely different atmosphere from the dayti.
The towering dark brick walls beneath the moonlight looked like the remains of a giant's corpse, silently revealing a terrifying majesty.
Do you wish to summon Skeletron?
Without any warning, the mont Drake approached the entrance of the Dungeon hall, the prompt to summon the boss imdiately appeared before his eyes.
"Summon."
The instant he confird it, two enormous crimson blood pupils suddenly opened wide in the darkness beside Drake!
Roar!
It was as if the Dungeon released the shrill screams of countless resentful souls and ghosts, becoming the accompanint to Skeletron's awakening.
Four white-bone arms, seemingly pieced together from a giant's wrist bones, slowly erged from the night together.
In the next instant, a bony palm that seed capable of flattening a hill roared toward Drake's position!
"Co out."
Drake leaped into the air. The Shadow Queen Bee appeared beneath his feet and carried him rapidly upward into the sky.
"Four bone arms… and it is the highest difficulty too. Looks like this is going to be fun."
Ordinary Skeletron only had two bone arms.
Only in the highest difficulty of Calamity Mode—Death Mode—did it have four!
Seeing Drake avoid its attack by rising into the air, Skeletron's skull opened its huge mouth full of ghastly sharp teeth and spat out skull projectiles one after another.
These skull projectiles flickered with magical light.
Not only did they possess extrely powerful destructive force, they also tracked Drake's position!
At the sa ti, another pair of bone arms suddenly swung down from thin air, blocking Drake's retreat!
This was undoubtedly the strongest enemy Drake had faced so far, and also the most difficult battle.
Yet his heart was extrely calm at this mont.
If he had to say why…
It was probably because a goddess stood on his side.
The battle was extrely fierce.
After roughly half an hour of bitter fighting, Skeletron had already entered an enraged state.
Of the four bone arms it originally possessed, only one remained.
However, its offensive had not decreased in the slightest. Instead, it had beco even more frantic!
The enormous skull hovered in midair and spun at high speed like a drum washing machine.
Each full rotation flung out large numbers of homing skull projectiles!
"Guh…"
After drinking another Healing Potion and rapidly healing the terrifying hole in his chest that had been pierced open by a skull projectile, Drake stared at the powerful enemy before him with a sowhat pale face.
"It's about ti… revive, my soldiers!"
A massive amount of mana was consud in an instant.
The Shadow Eater, Shadow Queen Bee, and Shadow Eye of Cthulhu, which had all been killed by Skeletron earlier in the battle, were revived at the sa ti!
Although they had died in battle, they had also dealt heavy damage to Skeletron.
Now, under Drake's will, they rose again from the shadows to fight for the Shadow Monarch!
The Shadow Eater roared past and directly bit off Skeletron's final arm.
After losing the protection of all its arms, Skeletron was left with only its defenseless skull. It angrily charged through the air, smashing toward Drake!
Block!
Using the Shield of Cthulhu to cancel out this charge, Drake backhandedly drew out a strange sword.
Broken Bio Blade, bio attunent: Arid Grandeur!
This was a rather special weapon.
It required Dirt Blocks, Stone Blocks, Aerialite Bars, and Hellstone Bars to craft.
Its special effect was exactly like its na. It could draw power from the surrounding environnt and transform into different forms.
The form Drake was using right now was the desert bio attunent, specialized for breaking through tough targets: Arid Grandeur!
In this state, when the Broken Bio Blade struck an enemy, it would continuously charge up and deal sustained damage.
It was like a drill, attacking Skeletron's skull at an extrely high frequency!
"Die—"
After piercing Skeletron with the sword in his hand, Drake slowly raised his other hand, the one not holding the blade.
Liquid-like shadows spilled out from between his fingers.
"Then arise."
The wails of countless resentful souls burst out from Skeletron's shattered bones, almost driving away even the spreading shadows.
The second extraction still failed. Cold blue flas leaped out from Skeletron's skull and burned its soul away.
At last, the final Shadow Extraction broke through Skeletron's resistance. A torrent of shadow swallowed it and then reshaped a new body.
In the next mont, Skeletron, with pitch-black shadow flas burning in its eye sockets, appeared behind Drake.
Like a silent guardian, it stood tall in the night behind him.
"Co over and take a look at the new employee."
Drake snapped his fingers and called over the subordinates around him.
The Shadow Eater circled around Skeletron several tis.
Unfortunately, it could not fly, or it definitely would have coiled around it a few tis.
The Shadow Queen Bee and Shadow Eye of Cthulhu both had the ability to fly, but compared with Skeletron's size, they looked sowhat lacking.
"As expected, it did not drop anything good…"
After opening Skeletron's Treasure Bag, Drake curled his lip in slight disdain.
Only so Bone materials, a few Lesser Healing Potions, and the Bone Glove accessory appeared in his inventory.
This accessory allowed Drake to throw out two crossed bones when attacking, dealing piercing damage.
Although it had an unexpected effect…
In Drake's eyes, it was sowhat useless.
It was completely unworthy as the reward for defeating a boss as difficult as Skeletron.
Fortunately, he only needed to beat it once.
...
Skeletron has been defeated. The Dungeon's curse has been lifted.
You have unlocked the "Bandit" role!
This role cannot be assigned and can only be held by you.
Ancient treasures of the Abyss have been unlocked.
You have obtained a new world expansion slot.
Information popped up one after another before Drake's eyes.
Because Skeletron was connected to many important progression points, although the loot this ti was not plentiful, the gains were still substantial.
First, the Dungeon could now be explored.
That was the greatest benefit of defeating Skeletron.
Secondly, the ancient treasures beneath the Abyss had also been unlocked.
The Abyss was a special oceanic environnt located beneath the Sulphurous Sea, possessing its own unique bio.
As for the Bandit role, it was related to the Rogue class and allowed him to purchase certain Rogue weapons and accessories.
Finally, there was the world expansion slot reward given by the system.
And the next ti a new world would be unlocked would be…
Defeat the Wall of Flesh to obtain one world expansion slot.
"Not surprising at all."
Drake showed an expression that said, "As expected."
As an important boss that affected the entire world of Terraria, the Wall of Flesh was definitely connected to many rewards.
"Let's use this expansion slot first."
"As for the choice… I'll continue exploring a new world."
Very soon, Drake saw the familiar prompt for the third ti.
[Exploring unknown world.]
[This process will last for at least 12 hours.]
