After coming back to their senses, both Angela and Yuki kicked at the skeleton at the same time.
This used even more force than their punch from before, so the skeleton wasn't able to hold on at all as it was shattered to pieces once again.
However, the hands were still firmly holding onto their legs…
But they didn't notice since they were more focused on getting out of that building before it was surrounded by all the skeletons below.
After escaping the building, they didn't waste any time at all as they jumped to the roof of the building next door.
Just like this, they jumped from building to building, moving away from the skeletons that had surrounded the building that they had been in before.
Only after moving a distance away did they stop to gather themselves.
Seeing that there was no movement from below, they finally noticed that the skeleton's hands were still on their legs.
Both of them knitted their brows when they saw this since as spirits, they hated anything to do with the undead. So both of them gathered their life energy into their fists and slammed their fists down on these two hands.
But to their surprise, they found that they weren't able to destroy the hands.
Unlike the skeleton that collapsed with a single blow, these bones were too strong to destroy.
That was very strange since even if they didn't use their full power, this was still a blow from a Ruler. It wasn't something that could be blocked so casually, especially by one of these casual skeletons in the undead horde.
ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) If even a casual skeleton in the horde could block this, wouldn't that mean that this was a horde of Ruler Realm monsters?
So what would be hidden further into this cultivation realm?
What was waiting for them at the end of the map?
All of these thoughts passed through Lin Fan's mind and he couldn't help feeling worried again.
This time, it wasn't just Lin Fan who was worried.
The other three all felt worried when they saw how the skeleton's hands resisted these attacks.
As expected of the master of the shop…
Any mission from him definitely wasn't something simple. It was something that could even pose a threat to their lives.
Both Angela and Yuki started gathering life energy in their hands again as they were prepared to make another attack, but before they could…They suddenly heard the sounds of clacking bones coming from beneath them.
They all quickly looked down to find that there were skeletons gathering around the building that they were currently standing atop of.
With the way that they moved without hesitation, it was clear that they knew that they were there.
How they knew that they were there was a mystery, but they didn't plan on finding out just yet since it would be too late for them once they were surrounded.
So without hesitation, they jumped off the roof to another roof.
They created some more distance with the horde of skeletons below before turning their attention back to the hands grabbing at their legs.
This time, Angela and Yuki didn't hold back at all and used all of their power concentrated in one point on the skeleton hand. But in the end, all it could do was create a crack on the bony hand and nothing else.
Everyone was once again shocked.
If it wasn't for the skeleton breaking apart from just a single hit from them, with how strong their bodies were, it would be a hard fight even for these Rulers…
Just what was this place?
After the moment of shock, they gathered their power again to attack the hands once more, but they were interrupted again by the clacking sound of bones.
Looking down, they found that the skeletons were once again coming for them.
However, when they looked at it carefully, they found that there seemed to be…more of them this time.
Lin Fan carefully looked at the buildings around them and he found that there were skeletons coming out of them.
It seemed that it wasn't just the skeletons that had appeared in the beginning that were following them, but rather there were skeletons coming out of the houses around them that were also coming at them.
It seemed that if they kept moving through this city, there would be more and more skeletons drawn out from the buildings.
Eventually, they might even call out the entire horde if they kept running like this.
Once that happened, they would be completely surrounded and…
It was a coincidence if it happened once, but a second time meant that it clearly wasn't a coincidence.
There was something telling the skeletons where they were, that was how they were chasing them.
At the same time, this thing seemed to also be alerting all of the skeletons in the buildings that they ran by, causing them to come out and chase them as well.
Unless they figured out what this was, it was impossible for them to escape.
But of course, the first thing that they had to do was find another temporary safe spot before they were surrounded.
So without hesitation, they jumped off this roof and created some more distance with the skeleton horde chasing them. It was just a good thing that all of these skeletons moved so slowly, or else they might have caught up to them already.
Once they were on the next roof, Angela and Yuki were about to start chipping away at the hands on their legs again, but Lin Fan stopped them.
He went over and looked carefully at the hands before suddenly saying, "It should be these things that are drawing them to us."
Momonga was surprised since he hadn't thought of this, but when he came over to look at the hands, he nodded in agreement as he said, "It seems like there's a draw from these hands to the skeleton from before. There's an invisible power that's linking the two together."
Then after raising his hand and waving it a few times, letting out a few dark wisps of energy that dissipated around him.
Once they were gone, he said, "It also seems like there's a resonance between the hands and the skeletons around, which is causing them to wake up and chase us as well."
After saying all of this, Momonga couldn't help knitting his brows as he muttered, "How did I not notice any of this before?"
Lin Fan patted him on the shoulder to comfort him before turning to look at the skeleton hands on their feet again.
The two of them had wanted to attack it again, but Lin Fan stopped them once more.
He then raised his hand towards the two hands and started drawing on that absorption power.
He had a plan, but he didn't know if it would work…
Still, he wanted to give it a try.
As the absorption power came close to the hands, there was a sudden visible distortion that appeared in the air.
The power that was inside of the hands wasn't visible to the eye, but when it came in contact with the absorption power, it started distorting the space around it.
They could see the visible flow of energy that went into Lin Fan's hand.
The moment that the energy entered his hand, his face couldn't help twisting in pain.
This was a feeling that he had never felt before when he had used his void laws before.
It was a very strange feeling, as if there was something foreign entering his body that his body couldn't process.
Normally, the moment that something was absorbed by his void laws, it would be turned into fundamental energy and would be absorbed by him. But this strange power seemed to refuse to be broken down by his void laws and seemed to be fighting against it, causing him pain.
Seeing this, Angela was about to come forward to help him, but Momonga raised a hand to stop her.
Angela glared at him, but he just shook his head in response.
After a while, she backed down in the end since she knew that he was more knowledgeable about this matter.
But what she didn't know was that Momonga was actually quite worried deep down.
This was his first time seeing this situation as well.
He also knew about the void law's ability to absorb everything in this world, but he could see that the strange energy wasn't letting itself be absorbed.
The only thing that he could do was wait and see how it would turn out.
As Lin Fan tried to absorb this strange power with this void laws, he could feel that it was slowly affecting him.
It was attacking his body, attacking his mind, attacking his soul.
It was as if this strange power wouldn't go down without a fight.
He used his void laws as much as he could, but he found that the strange energy was slowly affecting him.
It was subtle at first, but it was slowly corroding his reason and made him want to slaughter. It was a powerful grudge that seemed to want to destroy the world itself.
He didn't know where this feeling came from, but it was getting harder and harder to resist.
As this feeling filled him, the expression on Lin Fan's face also couldn't help changing.
It became more wild and more violent, as if he was about to attack at any moment.
At the same time, he turned to look in the direction of the other three.
