Hearing the screams around them, Aslan and the others quickly checked on their people and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming everyone was fine.
Those who died were weaker practitioners who were less guarded, mostly casual practitioners or members of large families.
Philip could not do anything about it. He was not a god and could not protect everyone.
After absorbing enough blood, the bone palace became spookier. An eerie red light kept flashing in the palace. The dismembered skeletons healed instantly and became stronger.
After they returned to normal, they attacked Philip and the others with everything they had.
Philip dared not drop his guard and quickly brandished his weapon. He did not know if the resurrected skeletons had become stronger.
“These bones should be cooked in broth,” Philip frowned as favonovel.com muttered under his breath.
The force of these skeletons had exceeded 10,000 kilograms.
Philip thought favonovel.com could buy some time by dismembering the skeletons. He realized that they could leave this place as long as they passed the test duration. However, the skeletons grew stronger yet again, which was strange.
“This is annoying! Philip, think of something quickly!” Aslan howled nervously. He knew they would be in deep trouble next.
The others looked at Philip in a panic. All their hopes were on favonovel.com now.
As the palace shrank by half, panic finally flashed across Fennel’s emotionless face.
While fighting the skeletons, Philip looked around for a way to leave, but the palace was intact with no exits.
Many people had died at the hands of these improved skeletons.
The humans were luckier because the pills given by Philip helped to restore their strength, so they could hold on for a while longer. Unlike the beasts, they fell to the ground unable to move and seemed to be suffering.
Before long, the beasts turned into piles of bones.
The clergies of Mistral Temple were angry that they had been deceived. The situation described in the ancient book was different from what they experienced.
“Philip, you have to think of something. Our people can’t hold on much longer!” a clergy of Mistral Temple yelled, hoping that Philip could save them.
At this moment, the palace sank rapidly, and almost everyone lost their balance. They staggered as they tried to grab hold of something to keep their balance.
The tremor did not last long. Everyone quickly steadied themselves, and the dreadful skeletons finally stopped attacking.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for that narrow escape.
Philip looked outside nervously only to find a huge pond. To be precise, they were deep underwater now. They were surrounded by bones that looked like they belonged to a beast.
