"How can there be so many skeletons here?" said Bernie, a member of the Galik Magical Society, stared at the white slump of the graveyard in the distance, his expression very strange.

After all, Alder also belongs to the territory of Galik, as a branch of the Galik Magic Association, but he does not have the real information here, and Bernie and Reed are a little embarrassed when they discover this phenomenon.

"Those are skeletons...... Lisa blinked her eyes and looked at a large area in the distance, as children of this generation, skeletons, geismans, and the evil necromancers who summoned them, these only appear in the story, they all think that the composition of magicians is only black magicians and white magicians, they don't understand, between black and white, there is still a gray area in this world, as far as magicians are concerned, dark mages, necromancers and other professions that tend to be evil have long been gradually swallowed up in the long river of history.

"Wow, that's spectacular!" Ellen grinned, and Allen was slightly agitated because the large number of skeletons gave him a thrill of being on the battlefield.

Looking at Allen's appearance of holding the knight's sword and about to move, Scott took a step ahead of him, frowned and said, "Calm down, Alan, this number of skeletons is also quite difficult to deal with!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Bernie and Reed, and said in a low voice, "Since the two are the national magicians of the Galic Magic Association branch, there must be a way, right?"

"Well......" Bernie said in a deep voice, looking at the large cemetery, "I propose a detour - as far as I can see, this cemetery seems to have a barrier, well, it should be used to prevent others from passing through here, we can get around here......"

"No," interrupted Bernie, Alan said angrily, "this gentleman, bypass this cemetery, I don't even see the edge of the cemetery, as I said, just go through!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Jiang Zhe and said, "What do you think, man?"

Jiang Zhe seemed to be thinking about something at this time, and when he heard Allen's words, he said casually, "Whatever!"

"That's two votes!" Alan grinned and raised two fingers and looked at Lavia defiantly.

"Hmph!" seemed to see through Alan's thoughts, and Lavia snorted disdainfully.

"Three votes!" laughed playfully, and Alan turned his head to look at Scott, who shook his head speechlessly.

"It's four votes now!"

Looking at the yellow-haired child angrily and amusedly, Bernie smiled bitterly and said, "Kid, you're not serious, are you? Those skeletons, I estimate that there are about two or three hundred......" As he spoke, he glanced at Scott, his eyes showing a bit of helpless worry.

"Tsk!" Shaking his finger at Bernie, Alan said with a smile, "You're underestimating us, uncle!"

"Uncle?" as if he had heard something, Bernie said angrily, "Uncle, little ghost, I'm only twenty-seven ...... today," he said, subconsciously glancing at the children in front of him, closing his mouth in a daze, and muttering dissatisfaction.

"Let's go—the uncles are in the front!" Alan gestured to Bernie and Reed.

"The children of now...... It's not lovely!" Depressed, Bernie nodded to Reed and told him to walk at the back of the line and walk at the front by himself.

Bernie's estimate was clearly correct, and when the group stepped into the graveyard confines, the skeletons wandering in the cemetery turned their heads and stared at them, their empty eyes burning with a dark green soul fire.

"Goo!" Bernie, who was walking in the front, only felt that he was being stared at by those soul fires, and a chill ran on his back.

"Click! click!" The skeletons that spotted the enemy staggered towards each other, although each of them looked inconspicuous, but the number was so large that it made people secretly vigilant.

"Come on, uncle!" Alan smiled and pouted at Bernie.

Tsk, underestimated by a group of imps!

Rolling his eyes, Bernie got serious and chanted a long spell at the skeletons in the distance, until the last byte was finished, and the ground under the feet of those skeletons suddenly turned into a swamp, no matter how hard those skeletons struggled, they could not escape the shackles of the swamp, and what awaited them was to be swallowed by the swamp.

Earth-based fourth-level magic [Miremarsh]!

"Wow!" Alan glanced at Bernie in surprise, and then said jokingly, "There are quite a few!"

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly heard Reed at the back of the team also chanting a spell in a deep voice, and then, above those skeletons, a stream of green liquid suddenly fell and poured into the group of skeletons, only to see that once those skeletons were infected with this liquid, they would be corroded and dissolved.

Fourth-level alchemy magic [Acid Etching Technique]!

"Awesome ......" Alan praised from the bottom of his heart, he felt that he was underestimating these two uncles, too, after all, the other party was also a national magician, how could he not have two brushes?

"How's it going, little ghost?" Bernie 'provoked' Alan with some smugness, he didn't hate this sunny little boy.

"It's okay, now it's up to me!" Allen said, pulling out the knight's sword, handing the scabbard to Lisa, and then took a deep breath with the sword, and immediately, his whole body emitted a faint red and green light.

[Strength Enhancement: Bull Power]

【Speed Boost: Antelope Power】

Allen, who blessed two enhancements at the same time, rushed out at a very fast speed before Bernie could react, and came to a skeleton in a few leaps, stretched out his left hand, pinched the skeleton's head, and heard a low roar, the skeleton's head was instantly crushed, and then, Allen turned around, and the broad knight's sword swept away, and the row of skeletons in front of him was a little shorter.

However, the skeletons around him immediately surrounded him, and seeing this, Bernie shouted loudly, "Little ghost, watch your back!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Allen's knightly sword bloom with turquoise brilliance, and immediately, a small tornado suddenly enveloped him, and the powerful wind blade tore through all the skeletons in front of him.

"Good fellow!" Bernie looked a little stunned, saying that anyone would be surprised to see a student of the Reox School of Magic confronted him with a knight's sword.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dozen skeletons staggering close to him, and was about to make a move, when suddenly, a black light passed by him, turning into a dozen black threads, entangled the dozen skeletons to death.

Bernie subconsciously turned around, but happened to see Scott pointing at the skeletons with his right hand, and then pushed his glasses with his left hand, and at the same time, he saw that the dozen or so black ones shook slightly, and then tightened more and more, and immediately smashed those skeletons to the ground.

【Spell: Bondage】

These kids aren't easy...... Looking at Lavia, who controlled more than a dozen waves of fire, at Lisa who summoned a white one-horned rhinoceros, at Lyrela who used dark arrows to hit the opposite skeleton one by one, and at Dea who summoned the water elemental and at the same time cast water arrows and water shields, Bernie was secretly a little surprised: even the students of that famous academy were too strong...... That's too much, isn't it? Far more than my peers...... Not...... The strongest should be the kid named Alan, followed by the grandson of the earl who uses spells, and the girl who controls the flames, compared to them, the other two little girls are relatively weaker, but ...... Thinking about it, Bernie glanced at the little boy who was the only one who had done nothing, with dark blonde hair, who seemed to be thinking about something...... To be honest, these skeletons are really weak and pitiful, except for the amazing number, there is nothing commendable, not to mention Allen's brute strength, even Scott's binding technique can crush those skeletons, but in a fight, they found a problem...... "The number of these skeletons seems to be not less...... Under the protection of the long-haired one-horned white rhinoceros, Lisa said with a little unconfidence, speaking of which, standing outside the cemetery and looking at these skeletons, and being surrounded by them are indeed two different concepts, looking at those skeletons with dark green soul fire flashing in their eyes, Lisa knew that the other party was vulnerable, and she couldn't help but feel a little afraid in her heart, and the same was true for Lerella beside her.

"Hasn't it decreased?" Lavia, who was also controlling a dozen fire wave spells, looked around in surprise, her superb control made the attack dense like a fire net, and the skeletons close to this fire net would be shattered by those whip-like fire waves in an instant.

"It's really not decreasing......" Seeing Lisa's doubtful voice, Scott glanced at the huge skeletons around him, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he frowned and said, "Those broken skeletons are standing up again?!"

"What?" Bernie subconsciously looked around, and when he saw that the situation was just as Scott said, he immediately smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sure that this cemetery has an enchantment, and as long as it's in this enchantment, those skeletons won't be completely destroyed - we're wasting our time!"

"Enchantment?" Scott frowned and shouted to Alan in the distance, "Alan, don't waste time, rush over, these skeletons can't be killed!"

"Huh?" "Huh?" Throwing a wind blade from the knight's sword, knocking the skeleton down, Eren turned around, scratched his head and said speechlessly, "I mean, there are no fewer skeletons - but these guys are so fragile!" he said, not looking, his left elbow back, easily breaking the vertebrae of a skeleton.

These ten minutes once again proved that the necromancer Poole's guess was correct, there was an inherent barrier in this cemetery, and all the skeletons within the scope of this barrier could not be completely killed.

Compared to just now, the number of skeletons now can be called massive, and a few children and two national magicians are tightly encircled, and from a distance, the entire cemetery is like a white ocean, not to mention, there are still skeletons crawling out of the ground one after another.

"Trouble!" Looking around, beads of sweat gradually oozed from Bernie's forehead, looking at the massive skeletons, he said eagerly with a little anxiety, "Rush over! Don't waste time, we're going to rush over!"

"Uncle, you're right!" Rolling his eyes, Alan wiped the blade with the fingers of his left hand, and after a trace of blue light flashed on the knight's sword, he waved it heavily, and a huge half-moon-shaped qi wave was split out, only to hear a clicking sound, and all the skeletons that touched the qi wave were completely frozen, and then shattered, turning into piles of ice slag.

"There's no way!" Bernie smiled wryly, he didn't expect these seemingly extremely weak skeletons to be so difficult to deal with.

Just when he was anxious, a voice came from behind him.

"Stand beside me!"

"Huh?" Bernie subconsciously turned his head, only to see the boy who had been standing still slowly raise his right hand...... Suddenly, as the boy's right hand was raised, a large number of fire elements in the atmosphere were gathered here, and because they were so dense, Bernie could even see the pale red traces left by the fire elements in the air.

"Hey, man, you're going to have to keep it in control!" Alan immediately returned to the group after realizing that something was wrong, he didn't want to be hurt by his friend.

"Whew!hmm!" In Bernie's incredible eyes, the surrounding area of the team, well, it should be said that the area around here, gradually condensed into countless small red dots, like a whirlpool, absorbing the fire element in the vicinity, and then gradually condensed into a ball.

Fire Bomb ...... Bernie could see the essence of the magic at a glance, nothing special, just ordinary, pebble-sized fireballs, but the amount was ...... Looking at the dense fireballs suspended in the air around him, Bernie subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and he vaguely felt that he might see a wonderful picture that he might never see again in his life...... Just as Bernie guessed, before the skeletons around him staggered and were about to approach Jiang Zhe and the others, the fire flickered...... Hundreds of shells rained down on various trajectories, staggering through the surrounding sea of skeletons.

Bernie watched in shock as a skeleton was smashed into a sieve by at least dozens of passing fire bombs in an instant, hand bones, leg bones, and skulls...... Completely smashed...... He only saw that the bone fragments of those skeletons were scattered everywhere, and the head of one skeleton was hit in the air by a fire bomb, and by chance, it touched others, and was completely shattered, and these fragments did not even have a chance to fall to the ground, and still endured the intensive blows of the countless fire bullets until they were broken into powder...... Can fire bombs still be used like this?

Stunned, Bernie was shocked by the amazing magic of the boy in front of him, although the fire bomb was a low-cost magic, but such a large amount...... The group stood quietly in the protective shield propped up by Dia, listening to the continuous crackling sound in their ears, and watching the skeletons around them being beaten up and down like a trick, and completely crippled...... In just two minutes, all the skeletons in the cemetery were reduced to white bone fragments everywhere.

"While they haven't recovered yet, let's go quickly!" Jiang Zhe reminded in a low voice looking at his somewhat distracted companions and the two national magicians who were obviously in a sluggish state.

"Oooh," said Bernie, recovering from his astonishment, glancing at the skulls all over the ground, and seeing them vibrating strangely, he hurriedly said, "Quick! let's get through!" said him, subconsciously glancing at the boy with dark blond hair.

The kid ......, "Awesome, buddy!" Alan smiled and patted Jiang Zhe's shoulder, and the eyes of the others also showed admiration, but Lavia frowned slightly.

Because she felt that when the boy next to her was casting magic, a few traces of deep black fluctuations faintly oozed from the depths of the originally clear dark blue magic fluctuations...... The feeling that I felt very uncomfortable for a long time...... "Ivey, let's go!"

"......" glanced at Jiang Zhe deeply, and Lavia nodded silently.

"Hmm!"

Meanwhile, in the basement of the dark castle, Connell, Argus, and Poole were walking deeper down the dark staircase.

It was a long, narrow passage, and there were no torches, but it didn't make any difference to the three of them, not to mention the werewolves who had night vision in the dark, for Argus and Poole, the night was originally the patron saint of the dark mages and necromancers, not to mention that they also possessed strong spiritual power, and it was more than enough to use spiritual power to probe the passage under their feet.

After walking for about ** minutes, the three of them finally came to the usual end, but unexpectedly, there was nothing here, and in front of the three of them, there was only a solid wall.

But the expressions of the three people did not change at all...... "Behind here!" Sniffing around, Connell said affirmatively.

"Looks like it......" Argus agreed with a smile, as he also felt a burst of darkness seeping through another part of the wall.

"Stand back!" Connell said with a blank face, and before Argus could react, he punched the wall, only to hear a muffled thud, and the wall shook violently along with the entire passageway, but to his surprise, the wall was intact.

Even if he didn't use his best strength, but as the most powerful Gangero, Connell's fist couldn't shatter a wall?

"Tuk Tuk!" Poole stepped forward and tapped his finger on the wall, shaking his head, "Obsidian!"

"Tsk!" As if thinking of some unpleasant memories, Connell snorted coldly, shook his right hand, and slammed into the wall, with great force.

But in the end, his fist failed to land on the obsidian wall, as Argus grabbed him.

"What do you want to do, Argus?" the werewolf looked at Argus with some wariness.

"Don't get me wrong, man," as if sensing the vigilance in the werewolf's eyes, Argus immediately let go of his hand and shrugged, "I just wanted you not to be so impulsive...... "Connell, since you've agreed to be my companion...... Well, although temporarily, but at least we are companions now, and I will not be against you, on the contrary, I will help you, whether it is to kill the enemy you want to kill, or to resurrect the woman you love, I can help you, but only if we are all buried here, then nothing can be done, can we?"

"......" Connell was dumbfounded.

Also, after all, they are now in the basement of a castle, in case the ground collapses because of the excessive force used, it will be a headache, not to mention Argus, even Connell himself will be in trouble, after all, immortality and whether or not they can get out of the ground buried dozens or even hundreds of yards are two different things.

After a moment's thought, Connell whispered, "What then?" for the first time he had spoken to Argus in an inquiring tone.

"Leave it to me!" Before Argus could speak, Poole said lightly, and then returned with his right hand to the wall and stroked it, as if searching for something.

"What are you doing?" Connell asked, confused.

"Look for the mechanism!" Poole whispered as he carefully searched the wall in front of him, "We can all feel the dark power coming from behind the wall, which means that this road is not a dead end, and if you want to break this wall with brute force, it is likely to cause a collapse...... Besides, the owner of this castle can't get in the same way as you do—there must be some mechanism!" he said, his expression changing slightly, and he lowered his head to stare carefully at the pattern of thirteen skulls of different shapes on the wall.

"What is this?" Argus asked, looking down at the motifs.

"Thirteen skeletons, symbolizing the power of death, is a secret that we necromancers know, and legend has it that as long as you gather thirteen skulls with magical powers, you can establish a connection with the realm of death, but I don't know if it's really ......" said Poole, in a very strange order, stretched out his index finger and swiped over the thirteen skull patterns in turn, and immediately, the patterns of those skulls suddenly turned green, and they opened their mouths very strangely, as if laughing.

Immediately, there was a muffled noise, and the wall in front of me rumbled upward—it was not a wall, but a gate made of obsidian.

"Looks like I'm guessing right......" Poole whispered, glancing at Argus, "There must have been at least one necromancer living here!, and he's very proficient in the power of death!"

"Oh, is it?" Argus said with a slight smile and a shrug, "If such a figure existed, you would not have been suppressed by the Dark Mages for more than a hundred years......

Glancing at Argus, Poole said dissatisfiedly, "That's not the difference in strength, but the gap in spells, most of the spells that we have passed down from generation to generation have been lost in the battle with the black mage, and the black mage, there are still ...... Reoks, Vander, Gray."

"Yes, yes, I hope you'll find the Forefathers' Magic Codex here, dear companion!" Argus patted Poole on the shoulder and said to Connell, "What are you waiting for? man!"

Connell gave Poole a deep look, nodded to him, perhaps as a thank-you, and walked out into the darkness.

It was a very large and empty room, with rows of bookcases and bookshelves faintly visible in the darkness, and at first glance, it looked like a library.

It's just that this library is unattended, and all kinds of books are placed in piles of books, and the shelves are covered with dust, which looks old.

"Bear!" Poole raised his hand to summon a dark green flame similar to soul fire, and by its light, he picked up a book from the ground and flipped through a few pages, then looked a little surprised.

"Bone Spear Technique?" Poole frowned and flipped through a few more pages, the expression on his face even more surprised, and muttered, "Bone Prison, Skeleton Awakening, Strengthened Skeleton, Death Erosion, these are our spells......"

"Oh, did any of your necromancers build a library here?" Argus laughed, and then, as if noticing something, the smile on his face suddenly retracted, and said with a smirk, "My dear companion Poole, can you study your ancestors' magic books later......"

"Huh?" Poole looked up suspiciously, just in time to see the darkness where he was, and a few hazy shadows appeared somehow, staring at the three of them with open beige eyes, and a few suppressed roars could be faintly heard, like wolves......
