Everyone was startled speechless as they looked at this shocking scene in a daze. They clearly understood what the skeleton giving birth to flesh meant. It was the same as Heaven Mage Baiers being reborn!
A powerhouse from several millennia ago being reborn, and a powerful Heaven Mage at that. Not only the Andalusia Kingdom, but all of Noscent would be thoroughly shocked.
Moreover, Baiers' identity was so special, he was Emperor Zhantui's eldest son …
"Rumble …"
As everyone was dumbstruck, a sudden change occurred. A rumbling sound echoed from that huge skeleton's head, as if countless bolts of lightning were exploding. The skeleton let out a painful roar, its huge body shaking. At the same time, the blood-red radiance on its body rapidly dimmed, and in a short few seconds, white bones could be seen. That rich aura of life seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
"Roar!"
As the aura of life disappeared, it returned to its original appearance. The skeleton seemed very unwilling, and the exposed part of its body fiercely struggled. Its two huge arms crazily slammed the ground, raising a lot of dust, but it still couldn't break free from the binding of some mysterious power. Its aura was rapidly declining, and its Heaven Rank power had already disappeared a few seconds after the upheaval.
Those two frantically burning phosphorus fires also returned to their original state, turning from blood-red to azure and emitting a bone-chilling aura. But the frequency at which the phosphorus fires pulsated had become extremely slow and couldn't be compared to before. Moreover, the phosphorus fires had clearly dimmed a lot, as if they could be extinguished at any time.
"It, it … Did it fail?" Delson's heart was pounding, he was extremely nervous as he stared at the struggling skeleton. He couldn't help rubbing his eyes, as if he wanted to see more clearly, but no matter how he looked, he felt that the skeleton was extremely weak at this moment.
He couldn't help shifting his gaze back to the crown.
His eyes were filled with intense heat.
'Maybe I can give it a try …'
Everyone, including him, had such a thought.
After going through a series of changes, their moods were very complicated. From the skeleton's appearance and its invincible power to devouring Solan and using some strange method to give birth to flesh and attack the Heaven Rank, their hearts had sunk to rock bottom and only despair remained.
But then …
For some unknown reason, the skeleton's attack on the Heaven Rank had failed. At this moment, they all knew that their opportunity had come!
"Let's kill it now. That's the only way we can leave this damned place …" Whis's face was flushed as he gripped his staff tightly. He was so excited that his whole body was trembling. Everything that had happened in the past few minutes made him feel like he had just escaped death.
This was indeed an opportunity …
The skeleton had failed to reach the Heaven Rank and seemed to have suffered an extremely intense backlash, causing it to be seriously injured. Moreover, it was bound by a mysterious power and couldn't crawl out of the crack.
This team originally had eleven people, and together, they had killed two High Tier Undead. Although they were missing Solan, their overall strength wasn't weak, and they could deal with Level 37 existences. But the Skeleton in front of them had suffered a backlash, and its strength had greatly declined. The aura it was emitting right now was only at the peak of Level 37.
Even if he couldn't kill it, it shouldn't be a problem for him to obtain the crown and successfully leave this place.
As he thought about it, Whis suddenly noticed a silhouette wrapped in flames rapidly rushing towards the skeleton. He was startled and knew that it was the young mage making a move.
"Let's go, we have to help High Mage Merlin. He might be in danger if he faces the skeleton alone …" Whis immediately roared when Lin Yun rushed out. He used Wind Elemental Incarnation and silently appeared above the skeleton's head, casting countless wind spells.
Although he had fallen to the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm, Whis still had his comprehension of Laws, especially his attainments in wind spells. It wouldn't be wrong to say that he was a Great Master. The power he displayed was even a lot stronger than other 5th Rank Archmages.
Whis had very complicated feelings towards Lin Yun. When he first joined this team, he felt that Mafa Merlin was too young and impulsive. He wasn't qualified to lead this team. Although he wasn't convinced, he had been seriously injured by the Desolate Overlord's Incarnation and his strength was less than half of his peak. Moreover, he had been focused on Solan, so provoking the young mage wasn't very wise.
But on the way, he gradually discovered that the young mage was actually so powerful. Wasn't a level 36 or 37 High Undead quite powerful? But in the end, he still died at the hands of the young mage.
If this team didn't have the young mage, it would be hard to say how far they would have gone.
Merlin's three cousins, Xiuban, Delson, Dean, Olaro, and Rolf all rushed towards the skeleton as soon as Whis said those words. They didn't hold back and used their strongest abilities. Aura filled the area and the mana fluctuations rose to the peak.
They were all very excited, because the enemy they were facing was once a frightening existence at the Heaven Rank.
"Roar …"
The skeleton was clearly very angry after being besieged by the ten of them. Its whole body was emitting a cold aura, and its two huge phosphorus flames were staring at them like vipers, slowly throbbing. Those two sky-covering hands were swinging back and forth, containing huge power. Although it was already seriously injured, that power was still extremely frightening. Even a 6th Rank Sword Saint's Aura Defense wouldn't be able to resist.
After all, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.
The moment it roared, the throbbing phosphorescence suddenly burned crazily, and the half of its body that was exposed also trembled at this moment, as if it was preparing something. Sure enough, in the next moment, the two huge eye sockets spewed out a torrent of white flames that rushed straight towards everyone.
Those flames were very strange. They weren't scorching hot, but instead emitted a cold aura.
"So dangerous …"
At this moment, Swordmaster Dean, who was closest to the skeleton, was caught off guard when the white flames surged out. His slightly dimmed Dou Qi protection was struck by a few balls of white flames. In an instant, "Chi Chi" sounds were heard and white smoke was emitted. The entire Dou Qi protection was frozen like a transparent crystal. Then, with a "Bang" sound, it shattered into countless fragments.
Dean was immediately covered in cold sweat. Fortunately, he had his Aura Defense. If he had touched those white flames, he would have been frozen into ice.
Although this skeleton was seriously injured, it was still extremely powerful, far surpassing the two High Undeads they had encountered before. It was almost at the peak of level 37.
"It is an Undead transformed from the body of a Heaven Rank powerhouse. It is powerful to begin with, and after several millennia of slumber, absorbing death energy, its bones have already become extremely tough. Thoroughly killing it won't be easy. We can only focus on attacking its head and slowly grind away its Soul Fire …" Although Lin Yun's voice was very soft, it clearly reached everyone's ears.
Lin Yun left a few red afterimages in the air as he used Fire Elemental Incarnation. He was very nimble and used a few Flame Flashes to dodge the attacks of those white flames. He had tried to use his Magic Array to analyze those flames. Although they weren't as strange as Withering Flames, they were still hard to guard against. If he touched them, it would be very difficult to dispel them. His blood would instantly freeze, so even he was somewhat afraid of those white flames.
"Rumble …"
The sound of something tearing through the air echoed as that skeletal palm locked onto Lin Yun's silhouette, carrying surging death energy as it suddenly enveloped him.
Lin Yun used another Flame Flash and barely dodged that palm. At this time, Lin Yun was less than twenty meters away from the skeleton. Even the flames covering his body had dimmed under that cold aura. But he still didn't plan on stopping. His afterimage flickered as he used another Flame Flash.
Alternating red and blue rays of light rose up from behind him, just like a dazzling moon. As berserk mana poured into it, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel's radiance increased and countless spells poured out like a flood, rushing towards that huge skull. Rumbling sounds echoed.
At this time, that skull was submerged in countless spells.
But …
Then, the skeleton's angry roar echoed. Countless spells washed over it, but its head wasn't damaged in the slightest. A black light was coiled around the white skull, making it look especially strange. The two phosphorus fires were even more frantically burning as it swung its arms towards Lin Yun.
But it was already too late. Lin Yun's Fire Elemental Incarnation flashed like a ghost, only leaving behind a few red afterimages. It was followed by a torrent of spells that washed over the skull.
"Too powerful …"
Lin Yun had a solemn expression. He had to be on guard when facing that skeleton at such a close distance. In a few minutes, he had used Flame Flashes over ten times. But that skeleton hadn't received any substantial damage under their siege. It was really hard to imagine that if that skeleton had been at its peak, their team wouldn't have been able to last a few minutes and would have been destroyed.
He was rejoicing.
To be honest, after devouring Solan, that skeleton failed to reach the Heaven Rank and its strength regressed, but he wasn't surprised at all, because he was the one who caused it.
No, no, no, it should be Lord Sean.
When he was in the study on the 9th floor, he learned from Sir Shawn that Baiers, who had left behind the Bloodline Curse, hadn't died yet, so he secretly ordered Sir Shawn to do something to Solan's body. Since Sir Shawn was proficient in this field, it was easy for him to complete the task.
It was also because of this that he ruthlessly tricked Baiers.
