In the castle corridor.
Kane and the others have recovered and are now in perfect shape to face the final boss.
They arrived at the splendid palace gates.
The gates leading to the Imperial Palace seed to sense their presence, slowly opening on both sides, revealing the scene inside to everyone.
In the spacious hall, the surrounding walls were adorned with various decorations, and exquisite carved patterns were everywhere in the hall. Six massive stone pillars stood evenly on both sides.
At the end of the hall, above a nine-level staircase, was a giant, nacing throne. A huge skeleton, donned in heavy and luxurious armor and crowned with a dazzling crown, half-lay on the throne.
Ghostly blue flas ignited on the candelabras around the hall.
Potions of various colors were poured into the mouths of everyone present.
The phantom of a lion appeared on Kreya, and an aura radiated from beneath her feet, with the imprint of a lion’s paw looming over everyone’s head.
In no ti at all, various enhancents appeared on everyone’s body.
They spread out and ford their formation, grasped their weapons tightly, and slowly stepped through the gates.
As Kane and the others entered the hall, the gates began to close slowly, almost as if telling them there’s still ti to turn back.
Thud!
Finally, the gates shut firmly closed.
As the gates closed, the ghostly blue flas flickering throughout the hall burned even higher, elevating the brightness inside.
Energies resembling souls converged on the Skeleton Monarch’s throne, crying and wailing.
With the gather of energy, the Skeleton Monarch began trembling, the cracking sound of bones echoed from within him, and then his body floated upwards.
With the gathering complete, the Skeleton Monarch fell from the air, but landed firmly on the ground, with a giant spiked teor hamr in his hand.
He rested the teor hamr on his shoulder, the Soul Fire in his eyes burning intensely, staring intently at the prepared Kane and his companions.
"Another bunch of foolish beings thinking they can challenge ."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Skeleton Monarch suddenly vanished into the air.
In his mini-giant form, Longbei spread the Iron Wall Shield Defense and shouted around, "The king of a fallen nation, truly a lost cause."
"Courting death."
The vanished Skeleton Monarch suddenly appeared beside Longbei, swinging his teor hamr towards him.
From the color of the Soul Fire in his eyes, it was clear Longbei hadn’t taunted him, just hit a sore spot with his words.
Longbei imdiately sensed the Skeleton Monarch nearby, turned his shield, and blocked the vengeful strike.
The force of the attack rippled through the energy shield on Longbei’s shield, pushing him back a few steps until he steadied himself.
The strike wasn’t just pure force but also contained wisps of pale green energy that seeped into Longbei’s body, leaving him looking slightly pale.
A white potion bottle floating beside Longbei suddenly inverted, and milky white energy flowed into him, mitigating the damage from the invasive energy.
A golden Light Blade slashed at the Skeleton Monarch’s shoulder from behind.
Several Holy Light-infused bullets simultaneously shot towards him, and rainbow stars appeared above his head.
Facing attacks from all sides, the Skeleton Monarch remained unfazed, then vanished into thin air again, leaving all attacks to hit nothing but air.
When the Skeleton Monarch reappeared, he was behind izike, the massive teor hamr rushing towards his back with a gust of wind.
A pair of white energy wings appeared on izike’s back, lifting him away from danger.
Though the hamr missed, its accompanying energy still quickly chased after izike.
A prism-like shield manifested in the energy’s path, blocking the attack, a skill embedded in Longbei’s bracelet.
Before Kane and the others could attack, the Skeleton Monarch vanished into the air once more.
"This won’t do, we need to hold him in place."
An aura began to appear behind Kane’s head, golden light radiated from his body, while white energy-infused Spider Silk shot in various directions around the hall.
The Spider Silk couldn’t weave into a web, but it should be enough to restrict movent.
However, contrary to expectations, the Skeleton Monarch continuously appeared from various points, launching attacks at everyone, and disappearing again before they could counterattack.
Everyone was now marked with injuries.
To the Skeleton Monarch, the Spider Silk was non-existent. He wasn’t simply going invisible; he transford into sothing that could penetrate such barriers.
Though brutish in appearance, the Skeleton Monarch attacked with caution, striking each person once and disappearing whether he hit or missed.
Realizing this, Kane suddenly canceled his Divine Form, the aura and light disappearing into the air.
As expected.
When the form was released, the Skeleton Monarch imdiately appeared beside Kane.
The giant teor hamr, tangled in pale green energy, pressed down on Kane, striking him solidly and sending him crashing into a stone pillar not far away.
This ti, the Skeleton Monarch didn’t disappear straight away, instead curiously tugged at the teor hamr before disappearing again.
Lying on the ground, Kane couldn’t help but cough up fresh blood.
Kreya and the others hesitated for a mont, then frantically rushed towards Kane, shouting, "Get away, quickly!"
Because the Skeleton Monarch appeared once more beside Kane, ready this ti to end the life of the insignificant insect.
With both hands on his teor hamr, he swung it down rcilessly at the prone Kane.
Thud!
A sound of tal clashing echoed, the hamr halted above Kane, striking emptiness, the familiar sensation similar to striking Kane just monts ago.
A pale figure passed through the Skeleton Monarch’s body, the Light Blade slashing at his waist.
Realizing he’d been tricked, as the Skeleton Monarch attempted to vanish again, he could not; sothing pinned his body in place.
Kane floated before the Skeleton Monarch, his expression no longer those of soone at death’s door.
The halo appeared again behind him.
The light covering Kane flowed outward, extending to cover a transparent exoskeleton he’d crafted.
A towering chanical humanoid armor over three ters high stood before everyone, gleaming with golden light.
Its massive hand gripping the Skeleton Monarch’s body.
As the light appeared on the chanical hand, a faint black smoke erged from the Skeleton Monarch.
