For example, bishops and high knights.

The offices in these locations have grid communications systems infused with special signals that enable them to respond quickly to every message.

In emergencies, they can also use special passwords to obtain more grid access and directly notify the relevant response departments.

However, the position of bishop of Baiwei Town is currently vacant, and the Grand Knight has just been detained and imprisoned in a solitary confinement cell, awaiting investigation.

It was precisely this behavior that led her into this predicament.

She would have to wait at least several hours to get support from the city of Kijuku.

"There's no time to do it, I'll have to solve it myself."

Isabella quickly approached and saw that some clergy had arrived nearby and were assisting Zovin in the battle.

At this point, however, the skeletal monster's combat power had already surpassed that of a regular steel monster to a certain extent.

Body type is a kind of 'trait' that is not explicitly defined but exists.

With the same numerical value, the larger the body size, the higher the mass, and therefore the different effects of the strength exerted.

Agility is the opposite; the smaller the body and the lighter the body, the more completely different the effect of speed is, even with the same value.

This is why Poole, having truly completed his whale transformation and developed various characteristics, is so strong, enabling him to fight against a Steel-type creature like Dartment, whose stats are over 90, with the help of the White-tailed Fox.

The same is true for this skeletal monster; its size is expanding.

Originally only four or five meters tall, when Isabella arrived, she found that the skeletal monster had grown to about seven meters.

Its enormous size brought an immense sense of oppression and extremely terrifying destructive power.

Even a slight release of its bones would cause enormous damage.

The surrounding houses offered almost no resistance to his actions.

What makes it most terrifying is that its destructive range is rapidly expanding.

His own actions will, to some extent, break the bones that are constantly growing inside him.

These bones would be embedded in the ground or in some collapsed buildings.

In just a short while, you will find that the area where you were stabbed is ossifying.

These ossified areas are spreading rapidly and then spreading wildly to other places.

The more bone remains, the faster ossification spreads.

Divine Art: Holy Fire!

Without any hesitation, Isabella immediately unleashed her most powerful divine magic.

Large amounts of white flames spread and, under Isabella's control, quickly burned the bony structures.

At the moment they were burned, some kind of spirit seemed to remain within those bones, and then it let out a resentful roar.

Isabella's emotional perception accurately detected that lingering spirit.

He was a member of the Dartmenley family, and he appeared to have been killed by a paladin with a sword.

"Wait, this location seems to be near the prison, so these spirits have just been generated?"

Isabella suddenly understood something, and then looked at the skeletal monster.

The opponent was no longer just Daros at this moment; he was more of a combination of the bloodline and resentment of most of the Dartmenley family members.

With a suspicion in mind, Isabella quickly began to gather her men and then formulate a battle plan.

At this point, the bone monster's only target is Zowen. It can be said that as long as Zowen's movement speed is sufficient, he can guide the bone monster to perform the corresponding actions.

A few minutes later, Zuowen didn't even dare to breathe properly and dodged to the side. A large number of white bones pierced out from the ground, almost piercing him.

"My stamina is almost gone." Zovin's stamina is not unlimited. Although Lillian can summon historical souls that restore health, she cannot switch them now.

Now, as soon as his agility-type historical soul is taken away, he will be immediately caught up by the bone monster.

"Zoven, come over here!" It was at this moment that Isabella's voice came.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zovin saw that a large number of white flames formed a circle on Isabella's side.

At this moment, only the entrance closest to him remained.

“Trust her!” Lillian immediately gave the information, and Zovin did not hesitate at all, walking towards Isabella’s location.

The bone monster then quickly approached and followed Zovin into the circle of fire.

After running in, Zovin stopped a little closer to the flames on the other side, as the holy fire behind him completely blocked his path.

He no longer had the strength to jump over the flames.

As the skeletal monster drew ever closer, Zovin knew that if Isabella's methods failed, he would face certain death.

Fortunately, Isabella did not betray the trust of the others.

As the skeletal monster entered, white flames formed a circle, filling the gap.

Then came a large number of priests casting various spells together.

Spellcasting Technique - Spell Hijacking!

Isabella's mental power seemed to have instantly linked together more than ten spells, and then combined these spells into the circle formed by the holy fire.

Instantly, the fire ring, which had incorporated a large number of spells, underwent a terrifying qualitative change.

The flames no longer flickered, but instead solidified into a luminous substance that was almost tangible.

These substances bypassed Zovin and wrapped around the bone monster, instantly burning through the outer layer of white bone.

The skeletal monster struggled incessantly, but the glowing substance that clung to it only increased.

Chapter 238 "Independence Time"

"Aaaaaah!" Countless painful screams emanated from inside the bone monster's body, and large amounts of white bone shot out from his body. At the same time, the white bone ground that he had previously infected suddenly protruded with a large number of sharp bone spikes.

However, all of this was in vain.

Isabella's eyes were wide open, and her originally round pupils seemed to have elongated slightly due to her extreme focus, almost becoming vertical pupils.

A trickle of blood slid from her nostril, and then her body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably.

They hijacked more than ten spells at once and used them as a basis to perform a spell fusion.

Even with the cooperation of other priests, this is a spellcasting technique that defies common sense.

The sheer amount of computation required for this technique and the resulting mental stress are terrifying.

Isabella felt as if she were dying bit by bit, her mind on the verge of collapse under immense pressure.

However, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

People must take responsibility for their actions.

She chose to restrict Naims for her own ideals, so she must correct the consequences of that restriction.

Even without her restrictions, a distress call sent with the authority of a Grand Knight might not necessarily bring rescue in a short time.

But no matter what, she will do everything in her power to make up for the negative impact of these actions!

The luminous substance seemed to possess a will, spreading and expanding relentlessly, sweeping away everything in its path and instantly melting the bones along its way.

Finally, it sliced ​​through the massive body of the bone monster with unstoppable force.

Isabella's senses extended along the glowing substance, through the bones, and peered into the monster's interior, where there was a small cavity.

Daros was curled up inside the cavity.

The master-level armor he wore had completely deformed, merging with the surrounding bones and revealing his body.

As you can see, Daros's body is covered with dense runes and magic circles.

These runic arrays, bound together by his bloodline, together constitute a strange ritual.

Isabella continued to delve deeper into her senses and discovered that a special power, mixed with fragmented spiritual resentment, was still being drawn towards her by the magic circle.

This is the real reason why the bone monster keeps growing—it is constantly devouring its own kind!

Every member of its kin who died became nourishment for its growth.

This is a monster fed with the blood of Dartmenli!

Isabella instantly understood the source—this was still a continuation of those forbidden bloodline experiments from back then.

Dartmenley eventually made some progress in his research. Both the potion that Daros drank and the magic arrays on his body pointed to the forbidden area of ​​"bloodline fusion".

"Could it be that the bloodline of the saint increased in strength after fusion, but the controller's own aptitude was insufficient, ultimately leading to the berserk state?" The thought flashed through her mind, and Isabella immediately focused her mind and devoted all her energy to the precise control of the spell.

A large amount of luminescent matter surged toward the core where Daros was located, as if it were living things.

It seems that only by destroying its core can this bone monster be completely stopped!

Perhaps sensing a deadly threat, the bone monster's body suddenly collapsed inward.

Massive amounts of white bones frantically gathered and piled up, forming layers of barriers in front of Daros in an attempt to block the erosion of the luminous substance.

The luminescent material at high temperature collided violently with the white bones, producing a sizzling sound, and a large amount of molten bone fluid dripped down.

However, these molten materials were quickly infected by the cursed power of the bone monster, re-ossified, and once again controlled and utilized by it.

The instinct for survival drove it to charge to one side! The moment it began to run, an exceptionally powerful force erupted from its body.

The luminous substance that was originally wrapped around it was violently repelled by this force.

Countless skeletons rapidly extended and paved the way along its running path, and that special power spread along with it.

Soon, the path of bones crashed into a wall of fire formed from luminous matter.

The luminescent material clashed violently with the bones, causing energy to surge.

But in the end, the eerie power that burst forth from the depths of the bones prevailed.

The luminescent matter was forcibly pushed aside, and the path of bones opened a way for the monster to escape!

"Pfft!" Blood also seeped from Isabella's eyes and ears at the same time. A strong sense of dizziness came over her. Her body swayed and she fell heavily to the ground, her mind falling into chaos.

"I can't faint... Once I faint, I won't be able to wake up for a while, and no one else will be able to deal with this monster!" Isabella relied on her strong willpower to fight against her body's instinctive self-preservation mechanism, struggling to keep herself from completely losing consciousness.

Just at this critical moment, reinforcements finally arrived! Several warm and powerful beams of divine light fell upon Isabella, beginning to heal her injuries and restore her spirit.

On the other side, the bone monster that successfully broke through had shrunk by more than half, returning to its original size of about four or five meters.

Its bones writhed violently, emanating an intense, almost tangible, resentment and bitterness.

Catalyzed by this overwhelming resentment, the already deformed monster, barely maintaining its human form, began a new round of terrifying mutations!

Those resentments seemed to combine with something deeper and more evil, and began to materialize and change their form.

The originally pale white surface of the bones now showed scarlet patterns flowing like lava.

For some ordinary people watching the spectacle from afar, the moment their eyes fell upon those red patterns, the eerie designs were etched deep into their pupils as if branded!

"Aaaaaah—!!!" The intense pain caused them to scream inhumanly, some clutching their heads and frantically scratching themselves.

Death, destruction, disaster, fear, despair... countless crazy thoughts flooded their minds like a tidal wave.

Their skin began to show strange burn marks, followed by excruciating pain and maddening itching from their bones.

In contrast, those clergy members with certain qualifications are in a much better situation.

Although seeing the red lines severely impacted their spirits and caused their emotions to surge violently, they were still able to barely suppress them.

Isabella's entire body instantly became burning hot, as if the blood in her body was boiling! A sense of offended anger, originating from the depths of her blood, arose spontaneously.

Some long-forgotten bloodline information was awakened by this restlessness and flooded into her consciousness.

"A cursed creature?"

She instinctively thought of vampires—the most well-known cursed creatures.

This idea further triggered a deeper understanding of bloodlines.

Vampires are the product of multiple powerful curses working together.

They need to fuse with forbidden blood such as dragon blood and demon blood, and forcibly distort their own life form through curses to move closer to these two powerful creatures.

Therefore, vampires often possess certain characteristics of both dragons and demons, and in some legends, the three are even conflated.

The skeletal monster before them had now completely transformed into a cursed creature! However, the curse it carried seemed to be completely different from the common ones…
