Under Han Shuo's instructions, the Five Elite Zombies continued to strenuously maintain the gymnasium so that it would not be forcefully destroyed by the power of the gravestone.
As they were worried that they would trigger a chain reaction from Little Skull, the Five Elite Zombies did not exert their energy on the gravestone. They did not stop the energy from the gravestone from affecting the gymnasium at all. Han Shuo's consciousness, which carried the energy of demon generals, was attached to the edge of the gymnasium, strenuously preventing the slightest bit of the gravestone's energy from leaking out.
Both the Five Elite Zombies and Han Shuo were in grave danger as the gravestone continued to expand. If the power of the gravestone were to break through the ceiling of the gymnasium, the energy maintaining the gymnasium would immediately become chaotic and cause the surrounding space to explode. At that time, not only would the Five Elite Zombies be directly impacted by the collapse of the space, but Han Shuo's consciousness would also suffer tremendous damage.
It could be said that Han Shuo and the Five Elite Zombies had placed their lives in the hands of Little Skull!
However, Little Skull, who was fully focused on fusing with the energy of the gravestone, did not seem to know how dangerous the situation was. All of his soul energy was entangled with the gravestone and he temporarily could not sense the urgency in Han Shuo's heart. The inscriptions in his eyes were still flickering as he stared unblinkingly at the gravestone that was glowing with white radiance.
Even though no external energy could enter the gymnasium, the gravestone continued to expand and maintain the stability of the gymnasium.
Crack … Crack …
The Five Elite Zombies were sweating profusely as they tried their best not to be distracted. They exerted all their strength to resist the power of the gravestone.
Han Shuo's consciousness continued to divide and converge on the area where the tip of the gravestone was. The demon generals had no choice but to fill the area with their souls in order to prevent any energy from leaking out.
Squeak … Squeak …
Wisps of smoke rose from the surface of the gravestone. This meant that the demon generals had been annihilated one after another. Their soul energy had completely vanished from the world.
The Five Elite Zombies and Han Shuo trembled in their hearts. They were deathly afraid that the power of the gravestone would suddenly increase, shatter the gymnasium, and kill all of them.
While Han Shuo's heart was filled with apprehension, the energy of the gravestone suddenly changed. The undulations of Little Skull's soul were clearly transmitted from the gravestone. It was as though the gravestone contained Little Skull's soul. It gave Han Shuo and the Five Elite Zombies a strange feeling.
At the same time, the gravestone gradually withdrew its power and started to shrink.
The Five Elite Zombies and Han Shuo simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief. They understood that once the gravestone shrunk, the gymnasium would no longer have any problems. They no longer had to fear that the space they were maintaining would explode at any moment.
The densely packed inscriptions on the constantly shrinking gravestone revolved around Little Skull. When the gravestone had shrunk to the size of Little Skull, it suddenly shattered like a mirror. The shattered pieces of the gravestone shrunk to the size of a fingernail and settled on Little Skull's body.
The fragments of the gravestone penetrated Little Skull's body with bizarre energy and sank into his heart and abdomen. A sinister radiance flashed across Little Skull's eyes. As though he had suddenly awakened from a deep slumber, he started jumping around the gymnasium.
Creak … Creak … Crack … Crack … Crack … Crack …
Crisp and clear noises came from Little Skull's body. It was as though his bones were being shattered. His body was as soft as cotton for one moment and abnormally straight for another. Bizarre inscriptions appeared on his skin and flesh. They looked like fishes occasionally leaping out of the water. It was an extremely bizarre sight.
"Father, what's going on?" Metal Elite Zombie hastily asked Han Shuo.
"The energy of the gravestone has been dispersed. The fragments are constantly splitting and fusing with his bones. I can't be sure if this is Han Hao's own will or not, but I believe that this is beneficial to him. There's no need to worry," Han Shuo's avatar stared at Little Skull and explained in a deep voice.
He could sense that the source energy of the gravestone had fused with Little Skull. The inscriptions were deeply imprinted on Little Skull's skin and flesh. Meanwhile, the fragments had drilled into Little Skull's bones and became one with them.
After dancing for a while, Little Skull suddenly collapsed to the ground like a sponge. He remained silent and motionless.
The active inscriptions on his skin and flesh no longer scurried about, as if they had also stopped following the little skeleton's silence. Only intermittent crisp sounds could be heard from within his body, causing one's scalp to tingle with numbness upon hearing them.
Outside the gymnasium, Scarlett covered her mouth with a mournful face. Her tearful eyes gazed at Little Skull who had collapsed to the ground. At this moment, the pain in Scarlett's heart was even deeper than the pain she had suffered years ago. She could not sense any aura in the gymnasium and therefore had no idea whether Little Skull's transformation was beneficial or not.
Scarlett was not the only one who could not sense what was happening in the gymnasium. Even Bollands, Sanguinar, and Gilbert could only see with their eyes. From the outside, the gravestone had suddenly exploded and its fragments had pierced into Little Skull's body. Little Skull was writhing in pain until he could no longer withstand the power of the gravestone and collapsed to the ground.
Since they could not sense that the gravestone had fused with Little Skull's bones and flesh, they naturally assumed that Little Skull had suffered a backlash from the gravestone and was on the verge of death.
"No … Don't …" Scarlett tried to rush into the gymnasium with a mournful face.
Bollands was startled and hastily stopped Scarlett. He said to Scarlett calmly, "What we see may not be the truth. Don't be rash! If you enter the gymnasium now, not only will you not be able to help Han Hao, but you will also be injured by my Senior Brother's energy! "
Gilbert and Sanguinar also hastily stood in front of Scarlett to prevent her from acting rashly. The two were not concerned about Scarlett's life or death, but they were worried that her actions would disrupt the stability of the gymnasium. Even the slightest mistake could lead to major changes. They did not want Han Shuo to be harmed because of Scarlett's reckless actions.
"Is … is he already …?" Scarlett pointed at Little Skull in the gymnasium with a mournful face.
Bollands was slightly taken aback. He did not expect that this woman would have such deep feelings for Han Hao. In his opinion, Han Hao, who was an absolutely callous being, should not have any affinity with a woman. Bollands found it very strange.
Bollands shook his head and comforted her, "He will be fine. We can't sense the situation there and have no idea what's going on. Besides, with my Senior Brother here, even if something were to happen to Han Hao, his life would not be in danger. You can rest assured about that! "
Bollands was not bluffing. He knew that Gilbert's body had been reconstructed by Han Shuo after his death. Back on Profound Continent, Han Shuo was already able to resurrect Gilbert. Now that his strength had multiplied, saving Han Hao would not be a problem at all.
"That's right. I died back on Profound Continent but my Master resurrected me with his mighty power. You can rest assured that Han Hao will be fine! "Gilbert hastily comforted Scarlett with his own experience.
"Don't worry. I have fought that fella before. His soul energy is unimaginably strong. I believe that even if his body is smashed to pieces, his soul will remain unscathed! As long as his soul survives, Master has ways to resurrect him! "Sanguinar, who had fought against Little Skull, chimed in.
Although Scarlett was still a little skeptical, she had gradually calmed down and stopped complaining about Han Hao's death. It was at this moment that they saw from their vantage point that Little Skull gently bend his fingers.
At this moment, from their angle, they could clearly see the little skeleton's finger bend slightly.
…
Like a chain reaction, Little Skull's wrists, arms, neck, waist, and even his entire body seemed to have regained his strength. He stood up abruptly and stretched his neck while stretching his arms and muscles with a curious look on his face.
"Holy crap, this fella is really alright!" Gilbert was about to continue consoling Scarlett when he suddenly noticed that Little Skeleton had stood up as though nothing had happened to him. Gilbert couldn't help but cry out in surprise. "That's right.
"I knew he wouldn't die so easily …" Sanguinar was surprised for a moment before he mumbled to himself, "It seems that the Quintessence Shard has truly fused with him. His strength must have grown even stronger. This opponent is getting harder and harder to surpass … "
The Five Elite Zombies in the gymnasium cheered with sincere smiles on their faces. Although they did not move their bodies, their mouths did not remain idle.
"Are you alright, Big Brother? Haha, I knew you would be fine! "
"Big Brother, you scared us to death. We thought that the gravestone would keep expanding. To be honest, I was really scared. If the power of the gravestone suddenly went out of control, we would all be doomed! "
"Haha, Big Brother, did you really subdue that damned thing? How was it? Is it useful? It's amazing … "
"…"
The Five Elite Zombies slowly withdrew the energy of the five elements that filled the gymnasium while greeting Little Skull. They seemed extremely excited and delighted.
Little Skull looked at the genuine smiles on the Five Elite Zombies' faces and knew that they were genuinely concerned about him. After hearing their words, Little Skull realized that the Five Elite Zombies had nearly died for him. Little Skull's heart was filled with warmth. The lines on his face turned extremely gentle. He put on a rare smile and said, "I'm fine now. The Quintessence Shard has completely fused with me. Even if I use some of its energy now, that fella won't be able to sense my location."
"Very good, my future Overgod of Death!" Han Shuo laughed heartily and said, "In this war in the Fringe, I want you to finish off Logue for me!"
Little Skull pondered for a moment before he put on a faint smile and replied, "Alright!"
