"We're going in to provide support; the battle inside hasn't stopped yet!" Isabella's body, under the direct control of her mental power and with the aid of support spells, moved quite quickly.

They quickly passed through the gradually stabilizing encampment and entered the interior of the prison.

The interior was in complete chaos at that moment.

Many people were arrested in the church's prison.

These people had committed crimes ranging from minor to serious, but as the fighting began, the prison guards were too busy to keep an eye on them, especially after some of them accidentally discovered the keys to the shackles and chains they had borrowed, which sparked a prison riot.

"The church's support has arrived. Those who obediently return to prison will have their crimes unchanged. Anyone still outside will have their crimes compounded, and those who harm clergy will have their crimes compounded twice!"

The resolute voice calmed down many prisoners who were looking for an opportunity to escape and cause trouble.

The range of sins committed by the church can be quite wide.

Adding a degree or two to the sentence could turn a crime that would have only resulted in a few years of imprisonment into a death sentence.

It's not worth it, there's no need.

Therefore, as those with clear minds gave up causing trouble, the riots in the prison were quickly brought under control.

But Isabella quickly realized the problem—"Where are Op and the others?!"

Faced with Isabella's question, many of the clergy who had just stopped fighting were completely bewildered.

They also did not discover when Op and his men opened their prison or when they disappeared without a trace.

Upon witnessing this scene, Isabella immediately realized that there was definitely a mole within the church prison belonging to Nemes.

Now that Op and the others who were captured are gone, Dong-hyuk's previous whistleblower letter is less effective against Nems.

Then, Isabella discovered something that made her frown even more.

Deep within the prison, the body of Dong-hyuk, the sender of that whistleblower letter, lay quietly not far away.

Meanwhile, the captains of the fourth and sixth teams, who were not far away, were also seriously injured and lay on the ground unable to get up.

There were holes everywhere around.

Upon seeing Isabella arrive, he was healed and then forced to approach her to explain what had happened.

It turns out that Donghyuk himself did not die.

He was instantly killed by Zovin with a single sword strike, his neck slit.

Due to excessive blood loss and the mental changes caused by extreme anger, he fainted.

Then Daros and Zovin quickly engaged in a fierce battle.

The fight between the two went well at first.

As the captain of the sixth team also chased in from outside, the two of them joined the battle.

But soon, the battle entered a state that they couldn't understand.

Zovin's body quickly blended into the shadows and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As for Daros, he was even more terrifying. The sacred bone that was originally meant to be the medium for unlocking the Saint's Path was crushed by him and swallowed whole.

Then, they drank some kind of medicine without knowing what it was.

It was precisely these actions that caused Daros to undergo some unknown transformation.

He then completely lost control and became a skeletal monster.

Chapter 236 All in Time

"A bone monster?" Isabella, seeing the current situation, didn't rush to chase after it, but instead asked for clarification.

"That's right, a monster about five meters tall, crouching on the ground, its body covered in a layer of bone armor with a lot of sharp bone spikes on it."

According to Isabella's understanding, the so-called sacred bones, although given the name of holiness, are not actually the bones of Saint Dartmenti.

After all, the ancestor of the other family died outside and is basically impossible to find.

Therefore, the so-called sacred bones are actually members who 'voluntarily' dedicated themselves to the family.

Over the years, some family members have awakened to their saintly nature to varying degrees.

This essence was reflected in their bones, so after their deaths, a section of their bone was dug out and kept as part of the family's heritage.

This ability allows qualified younger members of the family to use the family's secret techniques and begin their path to sainthood ahead of time.

Logically speaking, consuming such sacred bones shouldn't have much effect.

However, the anomaly of Daros was real, and the two paladin captains couldn't possibly be lying.

"Then it's most likely the effect of that potion," Isabella analyzed calmly, while continuing to listen to the two report on the specific situation.

Zuowen clearly realized there was a problem, so he ran away beforehand.

The two couldn't figure out where Zovin had escaped from, but they couldn't let Daros get away either, so they chose to go forward and attack the bone monster that Daros had formed.

However, the next moment, the bone spurs on the skeletal monster suddenly grew, and in an irresistible way, ignored their defenses and crushed them.

Donghyuk died at that time as well.

If the bone monster hadn't been so focused on chasing after Zovin that it didn't care much about the two of them, they probably wouldn't have escaped death either.

As for the direction the bone monster left in—

"That monster also disappeared suddenly and inexplicably."

After learning about the situation, Isabella prepared for a period of time, and also prepared spells enhanced by multicasting.

The surrounding light began to change, then flickered a few times, and some images appeared in front of Isabella.

A gigantic skeletal monster, and Zovin, who had vanished into the shadows, gripping his sword and making some kind of preparation.

Special Secret Technique: Reflection Technique.

If an event occurs not too long ago, the local environment will record what happened to some extent.

By utilizing changes in light, along with some special powers, it is possible to recall and recreate the light from that time.

"It's a space-based system?!"

"It's a time-based system?!"

Two thoughts arose at the same time.

However, the first thought came from Isabella, who discovered the secret of Zovin's Polaris Sword and also knew how the Bone Monster left afterward—by forcibly opening a passage to track Zovin using the Path of the Saint.

The next thought came from Nems.

What amazed him was the special spell that Isabella had cast.

This spell looks simple, but what it contains is surprisingly amazing.

Even with the Book of Time and his fairy bloodline, Nemus could only view past records and explore historical information.

However, it is difficult to recreate the past in its original location in front of everyone, even if it is just a virtual image.

The way Xibin recreates past history and Isabella recreates past images seem similar, and Xibin's ability may even be stronger in terms of combat power and practicality.

However, there is one key difference.

Xibin recreates history; he essentially asks people to act out the events recorded in history books. No matter how realistic the performance, it's not real.

The images that Isabella recreated, though illusory, were still the original changes in light and shadow from that time.

The next step in Xibin's abilities is to grasp the soul of history.

If Isabella's abilities were to advance further, it might even be the ability to reverse time!

Although this step is extremely difficult, its essence lies here!

"To seize it!" This was the first thought that arose in Nemus's mind.

The time system—powerful, special, invincible, and so on—is how it is described.

"No wonder Isabella's family needs to seal their name, no wonder she wants to study bloodlines and develop her own, no wonder she can bring me such a crucial change!" Nemus suddenly realized.

Even though Isabella's bloodline hasn't awakened yet, just the mention of the word 'time' has made her surpass the treasure boy Zovin and become a precious girl sought after by countless people!

Of course, for the time being, Isabella is safe.

If Nemes hadn't studied the Book of Time and deeply understood the power of history...

I have also witnessed similar forces before.

He probably couldn't understand the true nature of this force either.

"Time is generally a realm of mythology. Is Isabella's bloodline divine?" Nemus pondered to himself.

Of course, while time-based abilities are powerful, Isabella's current development of her bloodline is still at a very rudimentary stage.

"And I need to control the progress." Opportunity contains danger.

In order to acquire more key materials and thus continuously drive Isabella's evolution.

So perhaps the final scene will be Isabella standing on the opposite side of herself.

And it is highly likely that at that time, he might not be able to successfully obtain time-related materials from Isabella.

"So, should we limit Isabella's growth to a certain extent?" Nemus pondered, squinting his eyes.

He then issued an order—to push Isabella to complete her final 'evolution' at all costs.

After a moment's thought, Nemes came to a conclusion—all in.

In normal matters, Naim considers the risks, the benefits, and what to do next.

However, when faced with a challenge that Nemus cares about, Nemus won't consider those things.

If one cannot bear the risks of going all in, and is not qualified to assume greater power, then let his upward climb stop there.

He will not stop moving forward; he will do his best to obtain anything that can help him go higher and do it to the best of his ability.

Isabella didn't know what Nemus was thinking. She just breathed a slight sigh of relief and then quickly arranged for personnel to chase after Zovin and the bone monster.

That spatial ability isn't very strong; it probably can't jump very far, and might not even be able to jump out of Baiwei Town.

But this is not a good thing; it's a big problem.

Once the bone monster catches up, a battle is inevitable.

Given the skeletal monster's fighting style, it is bound to cause immense destruction and damage.

It must be stopped!

Chapter 237 Ultimate Spell Fusion

Sure enough, news soon came from the other side that battles were taking place in several parts of the city.

The battle involving the head of the Dartmentley family was also reported.

Another piece of information concerns the Bone Monster and Zovin.

They appeared on a street in the North District.

Fortunately, there weren't many people around at the time.

Furthermore, Zovin reacted quickly. The moment the bone monster crossed the distance to catch up, Zovin stopped running away and turned around to engage in combat, thus limiting the bone monster's destructive behavior.

They rescued the people who were scattered nearby at the time.

After confirming the information, Isabella immediately headed in that direction.

At the same time, Roman was instructed to inform the adjudication team that the battlefield on Datmenley's side also needed attention, as some very crucial events were likely occurring there as well.

It seems we'll need to get the old man from the referee team involved.

And if necessary, the one who is partially hidden in the Confessions Department will also have to take action.

Isabella appealed for help, only to find that her requests for assistance were not being answered.

Then I realized I was a little dizzy.

With so much information on the grid every day, it's impossible to tell which information is more important unless you have special permissions or a specific signal.

Furthermore, the condition of the grid has been deteriorating in recent years.

A specific location signal is required to transmit messages over long distances and immediately attract the attention of the other party.
