However, just as everyone was still in shock, the little skeleton looked around for a long time and finally found out who had hit him. Gripping that cold, gleaming little bone knife with his five bony fingers, he charged straight at Erin. The seven little bone spurs on his back flapped rapidly, and with a speed no skeleton warrior should possess, he appeared right in front of Erin. The little bone knife clenched in his hand, he suddenly stabbed at the panic-stricken Erin.

Erin was utterly shocked. Seeing the little skeleton rush up to her in an instant, she knew there was no time to chant another spell. She hurriedly dodged to the left with all her might, and with a ripping sound, Erin cried out in alarm.

The little skeleton’s knife missed Erin because she dodged quickly, so instead of stabbing her, it tore open her magic robe—from her right shoulder down to her soft chest—revealing her fair, tender skin. On the tip of the little bone knife, there was now a small piece of snowy white undergarment. The little skeleton stood there dumbfounded, not taking advantage of the situation to attack further.

Damn, that was beautiful! If only she’d use her lightsaber to strike you, and you could slash all her clothes to pieces—that would be perfect, Ryan Carter thought gleefully to himself.

As soon as this thought arose, Ryan Carter suddenly felt his mental power become extremely focused. He saw the little skeleton straighten his calf bones, stand up straight, the bone knife in his hand flashing coldly, and once again charge at the flustered and embarrassed Erin, who was clutching her upper body. It was obvious he was trying to carry out Ryan Carter’s command—to slash all her clothes to pieces.

Ha, now he’s actually taking orders—what a perverted skeleton!

Chapter 9: This Time He’s Really Done For

Erin’s top was slashed open, exposing her snowy white skin, and even the upper edge of her right breast was faintly revealed. At this moment, her embarrassment and panic combined, and she let out a scream. That expanse of fair, snowy skin drew the fiery gazes of the nearby male light magic students.

Erin was already a beautiful young woman, and with a faintly holy, inviolable aura about her, her beauty was elevated even further. Some of the male light magic students nearby, being at the age when they were most curious about women, had all their attention drawn to Erin, forgetting to step in and help.

By the time everyone realized the little skeleton was on the move again, it was already too late to act. The little skeleton, holding his dark little bone knife, was already closing in on Erin. For fear of accidentally hurting Erin with their magic, none of them dared to act rashly.

Seeing the little skeleton’s hollow, gray eye sockets, a wave of despair and helplessness suddenly rose in Erin’s heart. She seemed so frightened that she stood frozen in place, unable to move.

As the little skeleton raised the glowing bone knife close to her, Erin’s face was full of sorrow. She thought to herself that she never expected her end would come at the hands of the dark creature she hated most—and not just any dark creature, but the weakest of all, a skeleton warrior. It was truly pathetic.

“Rip—”

Erin suddenly felt a chill at her right waist. She thought she had been stabbed, but when she turned her head, she realized her waist was unharmed. It was just that her magic robe, from her right waist down to her calf, had been slashed open again by the bone knife, revealing even more of her body.

Her firm, smooth waist and her round, tender, shapely legs were exposed once more by this slash. Even her light green silk lace underwear had been torn at the right edge. Erin could already hear some of the male students around her swallowing hard, and the chattering of the female students.

“Ah—”

For her, being killed outright by the little skeleton would be terrifying, but to be stripped bare in front of everyone was even worse than death. A piercing scream burst from Erin’s mouth. She covered her lower body with one hand and her upper body with the other, and in a panic, ran off in a completely disoriented and embarrassed state.

“What’s with this little skeleton? Why is he only slashing Erin’s clothes?”

“Don’t just stand there, hurry up and get rid of him!”

“……”

Amidst the commotion, the students of the Light Magic Academy finally snapped out of it. One by one, they raised their arms, apparently preparing to chant spells to attack the little skeleton.

After his strike, the little skeleton stood there dazed again, as if he needed Ryan Carter to keep giving him orders before he knew what to do. Seeing his silly look, Ryan Carter grew anxious, not knowing what to do next.

The little witch Lisa nearby seemed about to say something, but when she saw how much of Erin’s robe had been slashed open, she hesitated and ultimately said nothing.

“Damn dark creature! How dare you attack the beautiful Miss Erin! Face the punishment of me, Intermediate Knight Claude!” At that moment, a figure came running at high speed from the distance. Before his voice had even faded, Claude had already appeared beside the little skeleton.

As soon as Claude appeared, he charged straight at the little skeleton with agile movements. His right fist shot out, and a pale blue light blasted onto the clueless little skeleton. The little skeleton, struck by the blow, was sent flying uncontrollably and landed on the ground with a “thud.”

“Beautiful Miss Erin, I’m sorry I was a step late and frightened you!” After sending the little skeleton flying with a punch, Claude bowed politely to Erin and said humbly.
