"Wow!" Lind's legs were suddenly grabbed, and his body lost balance and fell to the ground, falling heavily into a pile of bones.

Linde fell hard, especially with bones on the ground, but he could not care less at this moment. He endured the pain and tried to get up, but the next moment, two bony hands grabbed Linde's legs, one on the left and one on the right, leaving Linde with nowhere to escape.

Looking closely, I saw a slender skeleton holding on to 's legs tightly, and the magic flames in its eye sockets were full of teasing.

God knows how Lind read the joking meaning from the two balls of fire.

The skeleton from before also arrived, swinging its war hammer and ready to hit Lind. Lind couldn't break free, so he could only raise his hands and prepare to take it.

This hammer hit the ground hard, and my time in the other world was basically over.

"Thunder Ice!" At this moment, Ilfa took action. An ice-blue light shone on the skeleton, and the skeleton's body was immediately frozen.

Seeing this, Lind swung his dagger and chopped off the hand that was holding his ankle. Then he jumped up from the ground and chopped at the frozen skull's head with the sword.

The skull shattered, and then the white mist that had appeared before rose up and penetrated into another skeleton.

The same thing happened again. Another skeleton stood up, moved its new body, and looked at Lind. The magical light in its eye sockets was full of mockery.

The skeleton that had just attacked Lind jumped a few times and came to the side of that skeleton, waving two daggers in its hands. Its movements were so agile that it didn't look like a low-level undead without intelligence at all.

To make matters worse, two more skeletons crawled up from the ground and stared at Linde and Ilfa with their hole-like eyes.

One of them swung his arm and threw the javelin in his hand towards Ilfa.

Seeing this, Lind immediately rushed over, swung his dagger, and blocked the javelin by a hair's breadth.

"Madam, please hide behind me." Linde turned his back to Ilfa and faced the four skeletons.

Chapter 121: Demon's Soul

Ilfa stood on the steps behind Linde. There was only one way to get here, and the entrance was behind him.

In the open space in front of the steps, there were four skeletons standing there, holding tattered weapons in their hands, and the magic flames in the holes of their skulls flickered dangerously.

Skeleton soldiers are the lowest level among the undead. Their level is so low that as long as they overcome their inner fear, they can deal with even ordinary people in a one-on-one fight.

However, the skeletons here are obviously different. First of all, they were obviously not human beings when they were alive, but some unknown race. Secondly, even if their bodies are destroyed, they will possess other skeletons and continue fighting.

There are at least hundreds of skeletons on the ground here.

"Madam, please hide behind me." Facing the four skeletons, Lind tightly gripped the sword in his hand and protected Ilfa behind him.

At this time, Ilfa's condition was also very bad. He consumed a lot of magic power in blasting the ore before coming in, and he consumed a lot again when he tried to open the door one by one. Then he used another magic to cover Linde. Most of Ilfa's magic power had been consumed.

And for some unknown reason, the free magic content in the air was very low, and the magic recovery rate was extremely slow. Ilfa felt the feeling of magic depletion for the first time in a long time.

Looking at the not-so-tall figure standing in front of him, Irufa was still terrified. If he hadn't rushed over in time, he would have been stabbed to death by that shot.

The life-and-death crisis, coupled with the exhaustion of magic power, made Ilfa's heart beat extremely fast.

"Linde, let me help you." Although his condition was not very good, Ilfa still wanted to fight alongside Linde despite the feeling of magic exhaustion.

"No, ma'am, you have a more important mission." Linde rejected Ilufa's proposal. "What's going on with these skeletons? How to stop them from resurrecting? That's your mission."

"It's just four skeletons. I can still handle them. But if they keep resurrecting, I'll be exhausted even if I can fight them."

As he spoke, the four skeletons roared together and attacked Lind.

"Waaaaagh~!" Lind roared, rushed over and fought with the four skeletons.

"Linde!" Ilufa shouted subconsciously, wanting to use magic to support. However, after casting the most common fireball spell, Ilufa felt dizzy and his magic power was running out.

A magician's body can store magic power, which is equivalent to a battery storing electricity. When a magician consumes half of his magic power, he will feel uncomfortable. After consuming three quarters of his magic power, he will experience discomfort symptoms such as dizziness.

After that, if the magician uses magic forcibly, it can be released, but the price is that the magician may faint at any time, and some may even cause the total amount of magic power stored in the body to decrease.

"Madam! Stop using magic! Find out the secret of these skeletons' resurrection!" After the fireball hit, Lind cut off the head of a skeleton with a sword, and then a puff of smoke floated out of the skull of the skeleton and drilled into another skeleton.

This time the skeleton was not in human form, but a skeleton dog on all fours. After the skeleton dog moved a little and adapted to its new body, it immediately rushed over and joined the siege.

It was very difficult for Lind to deal with the siege of four skeletons at the same time. After a while, many wounds were left on his body.

Ilfa looked very anxious, but she also understood that the only way to solve the situation at this time was to find out the reason why these skeletons could be resurrected infinitely, and then use her remaining limited magic power to solve the reason.

Ilfa concentrated and began to think about the reasons why these skeletons were resurrected. At this moment, the skeleton dog suddenly broke through the defense and rushed towards Ilfa behind Lind.

"Ah!" Facing the skeleton dog's hideous fangs, Ilfa screamed and prepared to cast a defensive magic, but the next moment, Linde suddenly grabbed the skeleton dog's tail, pulled it back, and slammed it to the ground.

"Madam, you can think of a way to crack it. I swear on my knight's honor that I will not let these filthy skeletons touch even a hair on your head." Lind turned his head and smiled at Ilfa.

"You are not a knight yet." Ilfa said excitedly, his lips trembling.

"Sorry, I'm just a knight's squire. Madam, you just have to make do with it for now." Linde laughed dryly, then continued to fight desperately with the group of skeletons.

"It's okay, I believe you." Ilfa said excitedly, and then stopped dodging and concentrated on thinking about countermeasures. From then on, no matter how dangerous the situation seemed, Ilfa would not dodge. She believed that Linde could block all dangers.

In fact, Lind did it.

Lind also felt bad at this time, because this was the most frustrating battle he had ever fought.

Lind's fighting skills are divided into two parts: the unlimited fighting skills learned from Chen Haihuang before the time travel, and the various knight fighting skills learned from Professor Kong Nan, who never fell after the time travel. The two are complementary and can play a role of one plus one being greater than two.

However, facing such an enemy at this time, many of Lind's usual techniques could not play their original role. Attacking the crotch, only bones are left, which is naturally useless. The opponent can be resurrected by the momentum, and he is not afraid of death. It is impossible to suppress them with momentum.

If various fighting skills are of no use, then we can only fight head-on, a head-on fight with complete hard power.

Lind obviously cannot afford a war of attrition.

Once again, he smashed the head of a skeleton. Due to the baptism of time, the strength of these skeletons was not as good as before, but after continuously chopping the bones with the sword, Lind's sword inevitably had cracks.

When I think of all the skeletons I have to chop...

"It's better to fight a hundred losers than to fight one master." Lind said as if to comfort himself.

"Wind Absorption!" Just when the skeleton was broken, Ilfa shouted, and a gust of wind blew, sucking the floating white smoke-like object over.

After sucking the mist in, Ilfa used the wind to bind the mist into a sphere, bound it in front of himself, and then carefully observed the inside.

Through the restraints of the wind, Ilfa saw a face, a hideous face, struggling and roaring in the restraints of the wind, trying to break free.

"Demon!?" Ilfa's expression changed drastically. "This is the soul of a demon!"

"Demon!?" Lind said in surprise. He was distracted by an air attack and was almost slashed.

"This white mist-like thing is the soul of the devil!" Ilufa was extremely shocked. "These skeletons are driven by the soul of the devil!"

Chapter 122: Defenders

"Demon!?" Another skeleton was chopped down by the sword, and the siege of the skeletons was slightly eased. Lind took the opportunity to confirm with Ilfa.

The fighting power of these skeletons is not strong. Although they are much more flexible than ordinary skeletons whose movements are very mechanical, since these bones have gone through a long time and their strength is very poor, it is not difficult to destroy them. Sometimes there is no need to hit them, the skeletons will break themselves due to the excessive range of movement.

But Lind only has two hands after all, and it is very difficult for him to face the siege of four skeletons at the same time. Therefore, Lind's tactic is to continuously destroy one skeleton, control the rhythm of the battle, and prevent four skeletons from besieging him at the same time.

After a short battle, Lind confirmed with Ilufa. Turning his head, he saw a white ferocious face struggling hard in the wind magic ball in Ilufa's hand.

Although he had never seen a demon before, the ferocious appearance made Lind believe that this was the legendary demon.

The so-called demons are followers of the Chaos Evil God. Unlike the followers of the Evil God, demons are born from the power of the Evil God, usually stay in the Chaos Demon Realm, and their combat power far exceeds that of ordinary followers of the Evil God.

If a believer of an evil god continues to receive the power bestowed by the evil god and eventually endures it, then this believer of the evil god will eventually become a demon.

Demons rarely appear, but every time they appear, they will inevitably bring blood and gore to the world. The most famous one is undoubtedly the great war that took place nearly five hundred years ago.

And such a horrible thing appeared here now! ?

"Ma'am, are you sure?!" Because the answer was too shocking, even though he already believed it in his heart, Linde still wanted to confirm it.

"I'm sure." Illufa looked solemn. Although she had never seen a so-called demon with her own eyes, the thing in front of her perfectly matched the characteristics of the demons recorded in the books.

Although Ilfa used magic to bind the demon's soul, the demon's soul was struggling hard and the magic in Ilfa's hands was also crumbling.

Finally, Ilfa couldn't hold on any longer, the magic in his hand was broken, the demon soul flew out, and entered a new skeleton again.

The demon skeleton that regained its freedom roared at Ilfa, then rushed forward again, waving its weapon.

"How do these demons control these skeletons!" Lind took a fighting stance and asked loudly to Ilfa.

"According to records, the soul of a demon cannot be destroyed by ordinary attack methods. Only the power of the God-Emperor can completely purify the demon." Irufa held his head, trying to resist the discomfort caused by the exhaustion of magic power. "Once the demon's body is destroyed, the soul will be exiled back to the realm of the evil god."

"But something is trapping them here, preventing their souls from leaving. According to records, some demon souls are contained in certain creations, such as huge war machines, known as demonic machines. These skeletons may be similar things."

"Apart from the power of the God Emperor, is there any other way to completely destroy these things?!"

"I'm thinking!"

Although Ilufa said she was thinking about it, Linde knew very well that the subtext of this sentence was that Ilufa didn't know any other way.

Lind's own memories also told him that what Ilufa said was true. Demons were the most terrifying of all the enemies humans had ever encountered. Not only were they powerful, but they could not be completely eliminated. Even if they were defeated, only their bodies would be destroyed. After their souls returned to the evil god, they could reshape their bodies and make a comeback.

There is only one way known to mankind that can completely eliminate demons, and that is the power bestowed by the God-Emperor on believers. This is also an important reason why the Church of the God-Emperor can occupy the absolute first place among humans.

The problem is that Linde is not familiar with the old God Emperor at all. Even if he wants to communicate with him now, his connection with God is cut off here, and he can't talk at all.

These skeletons are driven by the souls of demons, and after what Ilfa said, Lind also discovered that among the skeletons lying on the ground, those in attack formation did fit the image of the demons in the legend, with fleshy wings, horns, several heads and so on.

These demons are the attackers, and those skeletons that look like lizards are the defenders here.

There had been an attack and defense battle here where the enemy was a demon, but the building behind the lizards was still intact and the door was closed, which should mean the defenders had won. According to the legend, demons destroyed everything, so if they had conquered this place, there was no reason to leave it as it was.

Wait, if the defense is successful...is there a possibility that the defenders are still inside! ?

"Hey! Is there anyone inside?!" Thinking of this, Lind immediately shouted at the building. "Is anyone listening? We need help!"

Although judging from the skeletons on the ground, these people have died in the battle for dozens or even hundreds of years, and the possibility of the defenders still being left inside is extremely small, but what if?

Not only was Ilfa's magic power running out, but Lind's physical strength was also almost exhausted. He was relying on willpower to continue holding on.

After shouting, there was no response.

"Linde, is there someone in there!?" Ilufa asked in shock.

"I don't know, maybe there is." Linde smiled bitterly. "It's free anyway, let's give it a try."

While he was talking, the skeletons attacked again. Lind held up his tired body and smashed two of them. Then the third one pierced Lind's shoulder, leaving a bright flower of blood.

"Linde!" Ilufa screamed. This was the first time Linde was injured since the battle began.

"Madam! Use your last bit of magic power! Go and open the door! I will stay here! Until you open the door and leave!" Lind grabbed the sword that pierced his shoulder with one hand, swung the sword and smashed the opponent's head. The dagger that had always accompanied him finally died and broke.

He took the sword stuck in his shoulder in his hand. The pain in his shoulder no longer mattered. After fighting for so long, Lind had become numb.

"Ha~ha~" Lind panted. At this time, Lind had destroyed nearly twenty skeletons on the ground. "There are still four fifths... huh?"

At this moment, Lind saw a shadow moving behind the obsidian-like wall of the building in the distance.

There is someone inside! There is indeed someone inside! Someone inside is watching the dying without helping!

"You cold-blooded reptile!" An angry Lind roared at the figure behind the mirror.

Snap~A sound like snapping fingers suddenly rang out.

The next moment, four lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere and split the four skeletons into powder.

Chapter 123: The Question of Surname

Sometimes, things change so quickly. One second ago, Lind was planning to fight to the death with the enemy and use his life to buy time for Illufa to open the magic circle and escape. But the next second, he made a comeback.

A ball of light shining with electric arcs appeared in front of the black glass. Then, four lightning bolts shot out from the ball of light and hit the four skeletons.

In an instant, the four skeletons turned into powder and scattered on the ground. Four groups of demon souls broke away from the skeletons and hurriedly drilled into other skeletons.

After the four souls entered the new skeleton, they did not stand up again, as if they were afraid.

It happened so fast that Lind didn't even have time to react.

When he was sure that the four demon souls would not get up again, Lind let go of the sword in his hand, gave up the breathing he had been consciously controlling, and began to gasp for breath. Then his legs went limp and he fell backwards.

What his back touched was not the cold, hard ground, but a warm, soft body. Ilfa ran over immediately and supported Linde.

"Linde, are you okay?" Ilufa looked at Linde with concern.

"It's okay, just a little tired." Linde smiled, then raised his hand and touched his shoulder. The wound there had healed at some point.

"God is still somewhat useful." Linde knew that this should be the effect of the divine power of the Mother Earth flowing in his body.
