The ribbon-like brilliance wrapped around Han Shuo's entire body tightly, but Han Shuo did not feel like he was being bound at all.
Wisps of brilliance slowly seeped into Han Shuo's skin, giving Han Shuo a cool feeling all over his body, as if he had sunk into a cool pool.
Little Skull saw that Han Shuo had received the black fruit and was wrapped by the black fruit. He stretched out his snow-white palm, and there were a few thumb-sized ores in his palm. Little Skull's Purple Demon Eye shone brightly, as if he was thinking about something.
After being stunned for a while, he clasped his palms together and rubbed the bones of his hands. An ear-piercing creaking sound came from his palms. A thick aura of death was suddenly emitted from his palms, and the ear-piercing creaking sound stopped abruptly.
Wisps of grayish-white sand-like substance slowly flowed out from Little Skull's palms. Little Skull hurriedly went in front of Han Shuo and sprinkled the sand-like substance in his palms on Han Shuo's body.
As the fine sand slid down Han Shuo's body, it suddenly shone like stars, giving off a strange sense of beauty. However, as soon as the fine sand fell into Han Shuo's body, it immediately melted and dissipated like water falling into the sea, and no light could be seen anymore.
Little Skull's Purple Demon Eye revealed a solemn and dignified color. It constantly swam around Han Shuo, who was wrapped in thousands of strands of the fruit's brilliance, and sprinkled the sand-like specks in his palms evenly on Han Shuo's body, not letting go of any corner that might be missed.
At first, Han Shuo felt a kind of lazy and comfortable feeling, as if he was soaking in cool water. His whole body felt lazy and sleepy.
However, when Little Skull sprinkled the sand-like fragmented light on his body, the part that was sprinkled by the fine sand-like thing suddenly felt a burning and tingling sensation. The wisps of silk seemed to have a mind of their own, and actually slowly integrated into Han Shuo's bones.
Han Shuo, who was originally lazy and comfortable, suddenly felt that his body was extremely heavy. As long as the fine sand fell on the parts, the surrounding bones felt like they were filled with lead. This made Han Shuo understand that this kind of heaviness was not an illusion, but really happened.
Using his divine sense to inspect his body, Han Shuo could clearly see spots of star-like light slowly melting into his bones, slowly strengthening his bones, causing his bones to be slowly strengthened. This feeling was somewhat similar to when Han Shuo was reborn for the first time.
Slowly, the innumerable strands of the fruit's brilliance all entered Han Shuo's body. Little Skull had long stopped moving around Han Shuo's body. The fine sand-like thing in his palm also flowed into Han Shuo's bones like flowing water, fusing with the brilliance of the fruit, strengthening Han Shuo's bones inch by inch.
During this process, the bones all over Han Shuo's body ached as if they were being pricked by many fine needles. However, Han Shuo, who had cultivated demonic arts to this point, had experienced all kinds of pain. Compared to the terrible pain that felt like his brain was being cut by a thousand knives when he opened up his brain, this kind of pain was quite easy for Han Shuo to deal with.
Therefore, from beginning to end, Han Shuo did not reveal any unbearable pain, nor did he let out a moan. He was quiet as if he was sleeping.
Beside Han Shuo, Little Skull stared at Han Shuo in a daze, as if he found Han Shuo's behavior very strange.
After an unknown amount of time, Han Shuo felt the pain in his body become weaker and weaker, to the point that Han Shuo could ignore it. At this moment, Han Shuo let out a light breath, opened his eyes, and looked down. Han Shuo found that he had completely returned to his original appearance, and there were no longer any abnormalities in his body.
Shaking his head, shaking his arms, and stretching his bones, Han Shuo suddenly had a strange look in his eyes. This was because Han Shuo suddenly found that his weight had actually increased by more than ten times. This was really too inconceivable!
An ordinary fruit had strengthened the bones in Han Shuo's body, increasing the density of the bones in his body, causing the toughness of his bones to become even more astonishing. At the same time that his bones were strengthened, his weight also increased. Although Han Shuo was already mentally prepared and understood that some changes would happen to his body, when this change exceeded Han Shuo's expectations, he was still extremely surprised.
"What is this fruit, and what does it do?" Stunned, Han Shuo looked at Little Skull strangely, and asked in astonishment.
"We all call it the 'Black Resolute Crystal'. It's the same as the 'Serene Luster Crystal' that you consumed last time. They are both very mystical things from our side. The 'Serene Luster Crystal' can strengthen the soul, making it more refined. This' Black Resolute Crystal 'can strengthen our bones, making them even more sturdy.
This kind of 'Black Resolute Crystal' can strengthen the body of an Evil Knight by several times. I had also used a 'Black Resolute Crystal' before, and at that time it was so painful that I hovered between life and death. However, after absorbing the power of the 'Black Resolute Crystal', I felt that my bones had become even more sturdy. " Little Skull explained for Han Shuo. He paused for a moment, and then exclaimed in admiration, "Father is really amazing, to actually not be afraid of this kind of pain at all!"
So it was actually a good item that was as precious as the 'Serene Luster Crystal'. No wonder it had such a mystical effect! Last time when he made a trip to the netherworld, Han Shuo had personally seen those undead creatures fight to the death for a 'Serene Luster Crystal'. He understood that this' Black Resolute Crystal 'was most likely the object that all the undead creatures fought over in the netherworld.
Such a precious treasure, yet Little Skull did not keep it for himself to increase his strength, and instead gave it to him without hesitation. This made Han Shuo feel very moved. Looking at the seemingly ordinary Little Skull in front of him, Han Shuo was about to praise it a little when he suddenly remembered something.
In the past, every time his body underwent a transformation, time would unknowingly elapse. This time when he used the 'Black Resolute Crystal' to strengthen his bones, he didn't know if a long time had passed as well. In the current Ossen City's most chaotic period, time was the most precious thing. As a person who could see through everything, Han Shuo could not disappear at this crucial time.
"How much time has passed?" Frowning, Han Shuo hurriedly asked Little Skull.
"I don't know!" Little Skull calmly replied.
Han Shuo immediately reacted. The Cemetery of Death was the same as the netherworld, it had no concept of time. This Cemetery of Death was enveloped by a powerful boundary, and the light of the sun, moon, and stars were also unable to shine in. Naturally, it was impossible to perceive time through the natural laws of the rising and setting of the moon.
Thinking of this major event, Han Shuo immediately became anxious. He did not dare to continue staying in the Cemetery of Death. He first sent Little Skull to the netherworld, then hurriedly stood at the center of the Cemetery of Death's magical transportation array.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves trampling, the sound of magic exploding, and the miserable howls of the dying warriors suddenly rushed into Han Shuo's ears. Those sounds were all coming from not too far away.
As expected, a battle had already begun! Han Shuo immediately reacted. When he was packing up the magic wand, all kinds of scenes had already been projected into his mind, allowing him to directly and clearly see everything that was happening not too far away.
As long as Han Shuo was in Ossen City, the mystical demons could transmit all kinds of scenes of Ossen City into his mind. However, when Han Shuo was too far away from Ossen City, the connection between him and the mystical demons was insufficient to support Han Shuo to see everything. Moreover, the Cemetery of Death was obstructed by a peculiar boundary. Naturally, Han Shuo could not know everything that was happening in Ossen City from the Cemetery of Death.
However, when Han Shuo entered Ossen City through the transportation array, the connection between him and the twelve mystical demons was immediately reestablished, once again allowing Han Shuo to have the ability to control everything.
Through the vision of the mystical demons, Han Shuo could see that a bitter battle was currently unfolding in the spacious open space surrounding the castle. The forces led by Firenze, Karel, and Lawrence were engaged in a fierce battle with Prince Ashburn and Charles' army. Deaths were occurring at every moment.
This castle was originally used to store military supplies. There just so happened to be no residents in the surroundings, only a spacious piece of land. This was a suitable venue for the fierce battle between the two sides.
As far as the eye could see, battles were raging everywhere. With the castle as the center, the area within a radius of a few miles was densely packed with battles. Not only the northern city district, but some mystical demons placed in other districts also observed that the other districts, including the imperial palace, were similarly enveloped in the flames of war.
However, compared to the great battle currently unfolding in the northern city district, the battles in the other districts of Ossen City were clearly on a smaller scale. This was because the high-ranking figures who were a threat to Charles, led by Lawrence, were currently gathered in the northern city district.
It was unknown if there was a tacit understanding, but none of the sacred rank experts participated in the battle. Karel and Sabakas on this side, sacred knight and Dempus on Charles' side all stopped and watched from afar, watching the soldiers of both sides fight to the death.
Whether it was Lawrence or Charles, they both understood the terrifying destructive power of a sacred rank expert, especially a sacred rank magus. A single forbidden magic spell could even change the course of a battle. However, all the countries in the Profound Continent had a tacit understanding that sacred rank magi were not allowed to use forbidden magic in normal battles.
Forbidden magic that was not allowed to be used in enemy countries was naturally even more so not allowed to be used during a civil war. Although Ossen City wasn't small, if a few forbidden magic were to really bombard it, it was likely that the capital of the Lancelot Empire, Ossen City, would disappear from the continent. Who knew how many citizens within the city would die or be injured.
It was precisely because of this that space sacred magus Sabakas and earth sacred magus Dempus had been watching this civil war with folded arms. Not a single one of them dared to release forbidden magic to attack the enemy soldiers of the same country.
Firenze became the commander of this battle. On a high ground in the middle of the castle, Firenze's crazed roars rang out incessantly. Under Firenze's command, armored generals methodically arranged their troops according to Firenze's orders, attacking Ashburn and Charles' soldiers from all directions.
Han Shuo, who was observing the overall situation through his mystical demons, suddenly discovered that under Firenze's crazed roars, the soldiers of the Howling Legion under his control seemed to be scattered but faintly formed all kinds of peculiar formations, cutting Ashburn and Charles' troops into several large pieces. Charles' troops were faintly surrounded by Firenze's men.
Only Han Shuo, who was using his mystical demons to observe the overall situation, was able to clearly see this kind of strange transformation. Those soldiers and generals who were participating in the battle were unable to miss out on the silent transformation of the battle.
The soldiers of the Howling Legion that Firenze brought had uniform patterns on their armors. These soldiers from the southern border had fought against the barbaric orcs for many years. Every weapon in their hands had been stained with too much blood. Each of them had valiant bodies and grave expressions. Their fighting strength was even more frightening than the Redbud Knights that Han Shuo had seen previously.
The city guards of Lancelot Empire's capital, Ossen City, were among the best in the entire Lancelot Empire. However, now that they were fighting against Firenze's Howling Legion, it was obvious that they were inferior to Firenze's Howling Legion. Apart from having slightly better equipment, they were far inferior to the Howling Legion in terms of combat experience, teamwork and individual strength.
Suddenly, Han Shuo discovered that the city guards of the northern city and Firenze's Howling Legion, under his seemingly crazy command, were actually gradually gaining the upper hand. Unknowingly, they were gradually nibbling away at the troops brought by Charles and Ashburn.
This lunatic was able to stand tall in the southern border for so many years, causing the barbaric orcs to be unable to break through the southern border's defensive line. His reputation was indeed well-deserved! Han Shuo was deeply moved, convinced by Firenze's miraculous commanding ability.
"Firenze, they are all soldiers of the Lancelot Empire. They are all innocent. It is only because of Ashburn's orders that they have no choice but to participate. If they all die, the final loss will be the Lancelot Empire!" Sacred swordmaster Karel was incomparably furious, glaring angrily at Firenze.
Everything Karel did was for the sake of the Lancelot Empire's future. Under Firenze's command, the northern city district had completely turned into a battlefield. Corpses were strewn all over the northern city district. Those who died were all loyal and devoted soldiers of the Lancelot Empire. It was only because their respective masters were different that they had no choice but to kill each other. It was obvious that Karel wasn't willing to see such casualties on his own side.
Even Dark Mantle elder Sabakas was extremely pained as he watched the increasing casualties. He hesitated for a moment before advising Firenze, who had fallen into a state of madness, "Firenze, if this goes on, even if we win, the Empire's vitality will be damaged!"
Firenze didn't move in the slightest and continued to loudly command his subordinates. Seeing that Sabakas, Karel, and the others were still clamoring, he couldn't help but fiercely glare at Karel and said, "Looking at the coups in every country on the continent, which one of them wasn't a bloodbath? Other than people dying in battle, can you use your mouth to make Ashburn abdicate?
Hmph, with a sacred knight and an earth sacred magus Dempus there, as well as all kinds of experts in the surroundings, even a demigod expert might not be able to easily kill them. I don't see what you can do?
Both of you! This kind of matter can only be quickly pacified through a bloody massacre. The longer the coups are dragged on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Empire. Dammit, aren't my subordinates also suffering great losses? I didn't even say anything, so why are you getting so worked up? If you're unhappy that I won't interfere, let's see if you can persuade those two foxes, one old and one young, to relinquish their authority and willingly let you take over everything. "
Firenze's blunt words were like cannonballs shooting towards the two sacred rank experts, leaving them speechless and unable to find any reason to retort.
Firenze was originally arrogant and conceited. If it was during normal times, he might have given Sabakas some face. However, once it was a battle, Firenze would immediately become a true madman. For the sake of victory, he would even dare to disobey His Majesty's orders without the slightest hesitation, let alone these two experts.
After cursing and swearing, Firenze didn't pay any attention to the two sacred rank experts and continued to roar crazily to command the generals under him. He passed on his plans for the battle to his subordinates, causing the Howling Legion to quietly and slowly take the initiative on the battlefield. They had already surrounded Ashburn's troops without anyone noticing.
The two sacred rank experts bitterly glanced at each other and could only sigh softly, their faces filled with pain and helplessness. They weren't good at commanding such a large scale battle. Without Firenze and the Howling Legion under his command, there wouldn't be any suspense in this battle.
Moreover, Firenze's words were indeed reasonable. Indecisiveness would only lead to chaos. Currently, the Lancelot Empire could only resolve the chaos through a bloody battle. Otherwise, once the various parties escaped from Ossen City and occupied the various provinces, it would be a devastating blow to the Lancelot Empire.
Therefore, even though the two sacred rank experts were mercilessly scolded and cursed by Firenze, they could only swallow their bitterness. They didn't dare to contradict the current Firenze, lest this fellow would act even more crazily.
Han Shuo couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief after taking in the various scenes. He no longer stayed in the excavated cave, Han Shuo flew out and descended from the sky towards the castle.
Whoosh whoosh! Crossbow bolts with extremely long range pierced through the sky towards Han Shuo.
Han Shuo was startled. He looked down and saw a few soldiers of the Howling Legion glaring at him with grave and stern faces. They had actually discovered his tracks from afar and shot their crossbow bolts at him.
His evaluation of the Howling Legion rose by another level. Han Shuo chanted an incantation and a pure white flower bud bloomed in the sky. The white bone shield formed and blocked all the crossbow bolts. Han Shuo wasn't injured in the slightest as he arrived at the center of the castle where Firenze was.
