Kyle found out that Mark was also here shortly after arriving in Osborne Town, but unfortunately he never got to see him.
Now that the pure holy light suddenly appeared, the only person he could think of was Mark.
The determination in Ruby's eyes wavered for a moment.
That faint breath of holy light... although far less pure than the fire of martyrdom she was about to ignite, it was extremely real!
A companion of the Holy Light!
They...are not alone!
At this moment of excitement——
"roar--!!!"
In the center of the altar, the Lord of Skeletons once again let out a silent soul roar.
It seemed to take advantage of a brief delay in the ceremony when Spin was disturbed.
The huge black skeleton trembled violently, and the dark golden flames in its eye sockets jumped wildly.
An even more powerful and chaotic pressure swept out, and the dark magic contained in it was like a real tide, fiercely impacting the holy light pillar that bound it!
The Fiery Sister instinct in Ruby's body was stimulated by this extreme darkness and blasphemy, as if it was poured with boiling oil!
“Ugh—!”
Ruby groaned in pain, the fire of martyrdom that she had been suppressing could no longer be controlled!
It is not a complete "Martyrdom by Holy Fire and Final Purification".
Rather, it was a portion of the pure holy flame that escaped out of control under Kyle's suppression!
A bright white pillar of fire that was as condensed as a substance.
Completely out of control, with Ruby's resolute will to purify.
Like an angry white dragon, it broke through the top of the tent and shot straight towards the fallen dragon skeleton in the center of the altar that was madly absorbing the filthy life essence!
"Ruby—!"
Kyle's eyes were bloodshot and he reached out to grab it, but he only grabbed a piece of scorching air and scattered holy light particles.
Although Ruby will not die immediately from this attack, the source of Ruby's life will also be burning!
And because Ruby didn't use her full strength, this flame of holy light was simply impossible to attract the attention of the holy light.
If she can't replenish her life essence later, then she...
On the high platform on the side of the altar.
The werewolf Warwick Bennett had been keeping an eye on the movements in the tent out of the corner of his eye, and he was calculating when to provoke the priest of the Holy City to take action.
When he saw the out-of-control yet extremely pure pillar of blazing white holy flame breaking through the tent and shooting straight at the Lord of Skeletons.
Instead of being shocked and angry, its golden pupils instantly burst out with a light that was almost ecstatic!
"Now! Spencer!"
Warwick's voice was filled with suppressed excitement. "The Holy Light of Balance needed for the ritual has arrived! It's a hundred times more powerful than the inferior stuff we prepared!"
It didn't even try to stop the holy flame pillar. Instead, it suddenly raised its wolf claws and pointed at the filthy life essence flowing below!
"lead!"
An invisible force field instantly enveloped Ruby's Holy Flame Pillar, not weakening it, but guiding it!
Let that blazing, pure holy flame, filled with the will to destroy and purify, precisely merge into the torrent of filthy life essence that is being greedily absorbed by the Lord of Skeletons below!
“Swish—boom—!!!”
The moment the holy flame came into contact with the dirty blood, a violent reaction occurred!
It was no longer a simple corrosion, but like pouring cold water into boiling oil, it erupted with an earth-shaking roar of energy!
The filthy life essence is ignited, purified, and refined by the pure holy flame!
The originally dark red viscous liquid was instantly stained with a layer of flowing gold edges, and the violent energy fluctuations caused the entire altar to shake violently!
The speed at which the Lord of Skeletons was baptized by the Holy Light suddenly increased tenfold!
The bones, as black as ink jade, were undergoing drastic changes at a speed visible to the naked eye under the impact of the strange energy of the blend of holy flame and dirty blood!
The deep black jade color faded rapidly and was washed by the holy light beam from top to bottom into a strange bone texture between pale white and dark gold!
At the same time, the dark golden fire in its eye sockets surged, revealing a more sober and rational aura!
Warwick felt the Skeleton Lord's rapidly rising and stabilizing energy fluctuations, and whispered with satisfaction:
"Perfect! This is truly an unexpected 'gift', allowing the ritual to reach its critical point ahead of time! The Skeleton Lord's 'rebirth' will be even more powerful than expected!"
Team Mark on the other side clearly saw Ruby's Holy Flame blast out out of control, and the entire process of being guided by Warwick into the ritual!
"Oh no!" Anna cried out in shock. "That Holy Flame... was used! It actually helped them!"
Mark's heart sank.
He felt that the Skeleton Lord's aura was soaring at a terrifying speed, far exceeding before!
The pressure that emanated from it made his holy light shield groan under the heavy burden.
"Damn it! I think the werewolf had planned this long ago!" Enzo gritted his teeth, tightened his grip on the rune forging hammer, but felt powerless.
The level gap is too big, with his strength and dark magic, he would be a dead end if he goes up.
At this moment, Monica, who had been staring at the center of the altar, suddenly lit up her eyes under her hood!
The appraiser's extraordinary insight allowed her to catch a hint of abnormality in the center of the violent and chaotic energy storm!
"No!" Monica's voice was filled with a hint of rapid excitement.
"That werewolf is forcing a ritual! The Corrupted Dragon's magic is too strong, and the Holy Light is too weak! The werewolf used Ruby's Holy Flame to forcibly neutralize and purify the tainted blood, temporarily suppressing the dark magic within the Corrupted Dragon's skeleton, giving the skeleton the illusion of being dominated by Holy Light!"
"But this 'balance' is fragile! The dark will of the Corrupted Dragon, deep within the skeleton, has not been truly tamed. Instead, it has become even more violent due to being forcibly suppressed! It is accumulating strength, waiting to backfire!"
She looked at Mark suddenly and spoke quickly:
"There's something wrong with the Skeleton Lord's core! It's in an extremely unstable state! If we can break this fragile balance, or... directly contact it and identify its true core weakness..."
Monica's gaze was cast towards the huge skeleton in the center of the altar, which was undergoing drastic changes and emitting heart-pounding fluctuations. Her eyes flashed with the appraiser's enthusiasm and determination for the unknown mysteries.
"Mark, cover me!" Monica's voice was firm and unquestionable. "I want to get close to it! I want to directly contact and identify it! Maybe I can find a chance to break the deadlock!"
Before she finished speaking, the shadow wings behind her suddenly fluttered, and her entire aura was instantly restrained to the extreme.
Then, like ink blending into the shadow, it transformed into a shadow that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, and rushed without hesitation towards the core of the bone altar where the energy storm was the most violent and the breath of death was the strongest!
"Monica!" Mark's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. He didn't want Monica to take this risk.
But he knew that this was the only fulcrum that could possibly lead to victory!
Take the risk or turn around and leave.
Monica had already chosen it for him!
