The plan that they came up with in the end was to lure the skeletons all to one place before using the strange energy to wake up the skeletons in an area.
Then from the skeletons that came wandering out of the buildings, they would pick one to nab for Lin Fan to drain.
At least that was the plan at first.
That was until Lin Fan noticed a certain skeleton among the horde of skeletons
It was a certain skeleton that was missing its hands.
The moment that he saw this skeleton, he couldn't help thinking of the memories that had entered his mind before.
They were all related to that skeleton.
If he were to use the void laws on another skeleton, the memories that he would see would most likely be different.
So the moment that he saw the skeleton, he couldn't help falling into a state of deep thought.
When the other three saw the look on his face again, they knew that something bad was about to happen.
As they guessed, Lin Fan said, "I want to catch that skeleton."
When she heard this, Yuki raised her fist again as if she was about to hit Lin Fan, but before she could, Angela stopped her again.
Lin Fan could see the questioning look on Momonga's face, so he explained everything about the memories.
After hearing this, Momonga gave a nod, but then still shook his head as he said, "Even if you want to get that skeleton, it's not easy. There's all those other skeletons in the way, so we won't be able to snatch it." Then after a pause, he added, "Unless you have some kind of plan."
Lin Fan shook his head before giving a nod before shaking his head again.
It was as if he did have a plan, but at the same time, he hadn't thought it out properly.
After a long period of thought, he finally gave another nod and said, "Un, I have half a plan."
"Half a plan?" Momonga repeated, but he still gave a nod and said, "Alright, let's hear it."
After that, Lin Fan jumped onto the other buildings and dropped a few balls of the strange energy before jumping back onto the building the others were on.
These balls of strange energy did what he had thought it would.
There seemed to be a certain range to the attraction of the strange energy balls, so there were only a certain number of skeletons that were attracted to each of the strange energy balls.
Just like that, the horde was cut up into different pieces.
There were groups of skeletons wandering all over the city now, being guided by the different strange energy balls.
As for what determined the attraction range, after testing it out several times, Lin Fan found that it was the concentration of power that determined it. The more of the strange energy concentrated into the ball, the larger the attraction range.
So with this, he was able to easily split up the skeleton horde into tiny wandering groups of skeletons.
These small groups of skeletons could have been split into further groups, but Lin Fan was slowly running out of area to herd them in. At the same time, he didn't know what would happen if he created too many balls of this strange energy, so he decided to not risk it.
It was already good enough for them to capture the skeleton with missing hands.
This skeleton was currently wandering around the building Lin Fan and the others were on, being pulled back and forth between two different balls of strange energy that Lin Fan was controlling.
He was activating them at intervals so that they would draw in the skeletons in turn.
That was what he had learned while playing around with the strange energy earlier.
The balls of strange energy would still remain there even if he didn't use them, so he could turn them on and off at will.
It really was a strange thing, it wasn't like anything that he had ever encountered before.
While they were being led back and forth, Momonga and the others went into position. Though in reality, it was only Momonga who was going to capture this skeleton.
It couldn't be helped, he was the only one with spatial laws.
Momonga was the immortal Lich King, so the number of laws that he could use was countless. Of course, they were weaker than the laws that he specialized in, but they were still very useful.
With the spatial laws, he created a portal around the skeleton with the missing hands and brought it onto the roof that they were on.
As soon as the skeleton appeared, its eyes locked onto them.
However, the skeleton wasn't able to do a thing as Yuki had already slammed it into pieces.
As soon as it appeared, the skeleton was punched from behind by Yuki.
She hadn't held back at all when she remembered the grievances from earlier, so the pieces of the skeleton had gone flying as soon as it appeared.
It was just a good thing that Momonga had already predicted this and had created a barrier to catch all of the pieces.
The pieces were scattered, but they were placed in front of Lin Fan.
They could feel the strange energy coming from these pieces and they could see the parts of the skeleton moving closer together.
It wouldn't take long for this skeleton to reform.
The strangest thing was that during this time, the skeleton's head had turned to look right at them.
It seemed that the skull was the core and it was still functional even when the rest of the body wasn't connected.
Lin Fan didn't waste any time other than being surprised by this.
He reached his hand out and released his void laws as he began sucking up the strange energy of the pieces of the skeleton.
As for his other hand, it was still firmly holding Angela's hand.
They had been like this the entire time.
As the strange energy filled him, Lin Fan began feeling like he was being submerged in the memories from before.
These were the same memories as the ones that he had seen last time, they were replaying themselves again, but for some reason, he could see it clearer than before. It seemed that the more of the strange energy he absorbed, the more clearly he saw these memories.
But at the same time, since the memories were clearer, they were also more powerful and began drowning him.
He fell faster than before as the wave of memories flooded into his mind.
pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ There were even more memories compared to before, which quickly flooded his mind and submerged him.
But before they could drown him completely, there was a warm feeling that filled him.
This was a warm feeling that came from his very core that warmed him up completely, driving away the memories that kept assaulting him. This warm feeling pushed back all the memories trying to crush him and allowed him to regain his consciousness.
Once his mind cleared, Lin Fan focused on the sea of memories in front of him and started going through them.
Most of the memories were just like the ones that he had seen before. They were all memories of different people being killed by a skeleton.
Now that he had seen it more clearly, he could tell that the skeleton in the memory was the skeleton that he was currently absorbing this strange energy from.
But now that the image had cleared, he was able to see the surroundings as well.
The skeleton killed people either in this city or in the areas surrounding the city.
It seemed like they weren't the first person to set foot in this place after it was destroyed.
Lin Fan just went through a few of these memories before putting them aside and digging even deeper into the memories that flooded his mind.
No matter how deep he dived, there was that same warm feeling that came from deep inside of him that allowed him to maintain his consciousness.
Finally, he reached the very bottom of the sea of memories and found the one memory that he had been looking for.
This was a memory that he had only caught a glimpse of previously which had made him want to find this skeleton.
As he sank into this memory, he couldn't help being shocked by what he saw.
As for what this memory was…it was the memory of the skeleton being killed.
Well, not the skeleton, but rather the human that the skeleton had been before it had been killed and turned into this walking skeleton.
The one that killed it…Lin Fan couldn't see that person clearly.
The human that the skeleton had been was completely trapped by that thing and was slowly eroded by the power released by that thing until it became a walking skeleton.
As for what that power was, Lin Fan recognized it immediately.
It was the strange power that he was currently absorbing.
He didn't know what this strange power was, but he was certain that this strange power came from this thing.
As he was looking through this memory, he suddenly felt a wave of pressure fall onto him.
The thing inside of the memory turned to look at him…not the skeleton, but rather Lin Fan who was watching the memory from the skeleton.
Then after looking at him for a bit, it said, "Interesting, there's actually someone that can come into this place."
