Chapter 1003 Fierce Battle in the Courtyard (10)

It turned out that these two dark green light spheres were not the spell called Death Blight released by Queen Bis of Revenge, but two masses of life essence!

These two masses of life essence were like two powerful batteries, instantly replenishing the depleted energy.

"Wolf, go for it! Take them down, and I promise, as long as you defeat these two people, you brothers can have as much life essence as you want!"

Bis had truly invested heavily, and upon hearing this, the Wolf brothers immediately became more excited.

Life essence was a good thing. If it were supplied without restriction, they were confident that they could become even more powerful psychics!

Thus, the brothers pounced on A Li. Just then, the armed personnel of the Gustav family also gradually approached.

"Let's retreat!" Bis whispered to the few confidantes around her.

"Master Oneus, please cover our rear. Rest assured, my promise to the Wolf brothers will be doubled for you!"

This fellow named Oneus was clad in a black robe and wore a hood. He had a hooked nose and triangular eyes, much like Skeletor from the cartoon.

In fact, Oneus was of the same ilk as Skeletor from the fairy tale; they were dark wizards.

Indeed, in medieval Europe, wizards had a terrible reputation, even being like rats crossing the street, and this was mainly due to the dark wizards.

To gain power, they researched various spells related to corpses, poisons, and even souls.

Dark wizards pursued these things without scruples, their methods appalling. They often used living people or corpses for experiments or as materials for casting spells. Countless innocent lives were lost at their hands, which is why they were hunted by the Holy See.

Master Oneus hailed from Europe, his lineage inherited from his family. His family was very wealthy, outwardly appearing as wealthy merchants, a commercial dynasty, and nobles. They used their vast wealth as a cover to conduct unspeakable experiments in secret, thus ensuring their lineage continued.

As the Asgardian asteroid drew closer to Earth, the spiritual energy on Earth began to recover. Oneus also sensed this change.

Thus, this fellow invested heavily, emboldened, and began to conduct more frenzied magical research.

As a result, his actions brought about his own demise. Oneus never expected that during this period of change, the power of the Holy See would also be revived.

In just a few years, the Holy See, which had been in decline and was merely symbolic, rapidly rose with the influence of its profound heritage, producing a large number of paladins with powerful combat capabilities, and monks with profound magical arts.

The Inquisition of the Holy See launched specialized operations, and these individuals took action against the dark wizards emerging from the shadows, including the encirclement of Master Oneus's stronghold in Europe.

If he hadn't promptly used a magic array passed down through his family for hundreds of years to escape, he would likely be impaled on a stake by now.

Master Oneus knew very well that he could no longer stay in Europe, so he simply fled to the United States. The Holy See's influence had not yet extended here, and the Americans would not pay heed to the Holy See.

Here, he found kindred spirits in Bis and directly defected to the Dark Altar. The Dark Altar provided him with various resources, allowing him to conduct further research using these resources.

Originally, Oneus thought the Dark Altar could do as it pleased throughout the United States. However, today, witnessing the battle of these perverts like Ling Tian and A Li, who were decimating the Dark Altar, he began to have some doubts about his high regard for the Dark Altar.

Just now, Bis had asked him to cover their retreat, which greatly displeased Master Oneus. However, Bis's last words indeed made him very happy.

Master Oneus had deeply experienced the effects of this life essence. Consuming one piece of life essence could compensate for several years of arduous meditation and cultivation.

It was precisely this item that made him willing to serve the Dark Altar.

"Rest assured, Your Highness Queen, I've got this!"

Bis left without looking back. They, as a group, rushed towards the pier, where a small boat was waiting for them.

To prevent Ling Tian and the others from escaping, the Gustav family had gone to great lengths. When Ling Tian and the others stepped onto the island, the Gustav family had already taken away all the boats along the shore.

As for this remaining boat, they were powerless to do anything about it because it belonged to the Dark Altar, and the people on board were also psychics from the Dark Altar.

Bis had repeatedly assured Boris Gustav that Ling Tian would absolutely not escape by their small boat, which is why Boris agreed to let Bis's boat remain there.

Ling Tian walked directly towards Master Oneus. Through his Heavenly Eye divine ability, he could see that the fellow before him exuded an aura of malevolence, clearly not a good sort.

Master Oneus reached into a bag he carried on his back, grabbed two handfuls of white powder, and then directly flung the powder into the sky. Chanting incantations, a black energy emanated from his body, mixing with the two handfuls of white powder to form two masses of black mist.

This white powder was actually human bone dust, or more precisely, the bone dust of two very powerful paladins.

These two paladins had been killed by the ancestors of the Oneus family a thousand years ago while pursuing them.

The bodies of these individuals were also taken away by the ancestors of the Oneus family. Their bodies were ground into bone dust, becoming materials for dark wizards' spells.

After more than ten seconds, the black mist dissipated, and Ling Tian saw that within the black mist were two skeletons!

These two skeletons had very tall frames, even exceeding 1.9 meters in height.

Their bones alone were much thicker than those of ordinary humans. The skeletons' arms were even thicker than the arms of many adult men.

Moreover, the skeletons' bones were not the ordinary white of human bones, but were permeated with specks of silver light, even possessing a metallic texture.

Looking at the skeletons' hands, they held two bone blades, each about 1.5 meters long and exceptionally sharp. A stab from these things would create a bloody hole.

The posture of these two skeletons holding their weapons, and the aura they exuded, were simply that of two skeletal knights!

The two skeletons were summoned and, brandishing their bone blades, charged directly at Ling Tian.

Ling Tian was surprised to find that the speed of these two skeletal knights was even faster than ordinary humans. Although they lacked muscles and ligaments, it seemed there was a special energy connecting these bones.
