A silvery white light shot out toward Desvidia, originating from where Saul and the rest were stationed . Desvidia ducked off speedily, barely avoiding the attack from the phantom dragon . From first being angry, Morgan soon became embarrassed . He was now alert . At the critical moment, the high priest, Stan, who was standing behind him, had released the Absolute Purification . Morgan was aware of the danger that Absolute Purification would pose to a necromancer . He nearly attacked Stan, which was why he felt embarrassed . He was alert enough to notice that the purpose of Magic of Light was meant to purify the curse of senescence on Desvidia . It would not harm Desvidia . Although this ingenious way of controlling the magic was not comparable to Morgan, it was not far removed from him either . If Stan had cultivated other forms of magic, his achievements would be comparable to Saul and Douminge .
After escaping from danger, Desvidia was enraged . He had deliberately kept a low profile, but that did not equate to having a lack of dignity . To suffer before everyone was a humiliation . Desvidia's black pupils turned red . After a severe magic surge, the phantom dragon that had attempted to continue with the attack, froze . The gigantic body had multiple cracks on it . The aging incantation was visibly taking effect . Desvidia let it have a taste of its own medicine, as casting a curse was Desvidia's forte .
Morgan waved his hand, and a huge bone spear appeared in the air, stabbing into the chest of the phantom dragon . The second, then third bone spears appeared and continuously attacked it . After the first bone spear exploded on the chest of the phantom dragon, the second bone spear appeared . Although the bone spear was much smaller than the phantom dragon, due to the aging incantation, the defending power of the phantom dragon had diminished greatly . The three bone spears that Morgan had released hit on the same spot, creating a big hole in the phantom dragon's chest . Bone dust spilled down to the ground .
The phantom dragon screamed, but this was not the end . Stan performed the prayer incantation on the phantom dragon . If a Knight of Light had been affected by the prayer incantation, his attack and defense would take longer before effect . If the target was a death spirit, it would suffer harm over a long period of time .
The Grand Knight, Fernando, had broken out of the v-formation . A priest in white robe, who was standing beside Stan, lifted up his hands and released the prayer incantation . The Combat Power released by Fernando shot up, its speed becoming faster and more powerful . It was comparable to the force of the phantom dragon that was struggling in the halo of the prayer incantation .
In the next instant, Fernando sped past Morgan, like a lightning bolt, shooting toward the phantom dragon . Although a huge body had its advantages, it had disadvantages as well . Moreover, Fernando was too quick for the phantom dragon . It could only fan its right wing at Fernando .

Fernando was fearless . He lifted up his left arm with the golden knight shield, smashing down hard on the bony wing .
There was a loud bang, and Fernando moved back more than 10 steps . The phantom dragon was left with only two thirds of his right wing . Bits and pieces of bone flew out all over . It had been badly hurt . Desvidia spread his wings and flew up into the sky . At the same time, he released the Dilatory Curse and Retardation Curse . The Dilatory Curse could slow down the speed of the phantom dragon, whereas the Retardation Curse was more vicious . It could slow down the reaction of the phantom dragon . Speed in reacting was the deciding factor, when dealing with the top level power .
A deep howling sound was heard from afar, and the phantom dragon spread out its bony wings as it escaped pathetically toward the back . Fernando attacked continuously with the wheel-lock gun that he was holding on to, and Desvidia flew toward the phantom dragon and attacked it . Morgan continuously released the bone cage incantation and bone spears . He was very skillful when he released the magic . Whenever the phantom dragon spread out its bony wings and was about to leave the ground, the bone cage would pin its body down . When the phantom dragon forced its way out and spread its wings again, it could not fly . It could only run on its feet, like a clumsy low level magic beast . Morgan aimed the bone spears at the feet of the phantom dragon . Whenever its feet touched the ground, the bone spears would fly toward it and cause the phantom dragon to shift its center of gravity . It stumbled and fumbled, and was inbad shape .
Having a huge body was advantageous . Although Morgan, Desvidia, and Fernando had joined forces and attacked the phantom dragon, they could only break its bones, but remained unable to inflict mortal injury upon it . If it hadn't been for others, they would have died on the spot .
Finally, the phantom dragon escaped into the dark . Desvidia had vented his anger and did not pursue after it . After hovering around, he landed beside Fernando . Both of them looked at each other and smiled . Their smiles encompassed many unspoken words . If they had been in a different setting, they might have become arch-enemies . However, they had chosen to join forces to combat together . This was the great spirit of mankind . There would be conflicts, disputes, conflicts of interest, and even hatred among men . However, when they had a common enemy, they would bury the hatchet and unite together . It was like the ancient times during the invasion of the ogres . These top level powers were more broad-minded than the ordinary people . They were not only representative of mankind, they were the pillars . If they had been petty and were shirking responsibilities, there would be no hope for man .
It was tough to debate on whether or not a necromancer belonged to mankind . Regardless of what others thought, Morgan, Golman, and Desvidia had their memories, yearnings, and experiences . The determination that they had exhibited was not inferior to Saul or the rest .
"Minos is testing us," Golman said softly .
"I know . That is why I did not retaliate . " The priest in the white robe, who was standing beside Stan, said with a smile .
"You have used the prayer incantation . Is that not retaliation?" Stan smiled and said .
"Let's think of how we should deal with Minos' Bone kekkai," Eregli said, having now recovered from the defeat .
Stan hesitated for a while before looking at Saul . Their thinking process was different from the ordinary people . They could release the Holy kekkai to pit against the Bone kekkai . However, what should they do with Morgan and the others? They would not be able to enter the Holy kekkai . If things got out of hand, it would be wasting the magic power . Stan would not make such a silly mistake .
"Minos had used up much time and energy to create the Bone kekkai . If we use magic against the kekkai, it would be too difficult . " Saul smiled . "Let's use our wits . " Having said that, Saul released a fissure incantation .
The fissure incantation was a middle level earth magic . It was not powerful, and had been used to attack walls that were not protected by magic kekkai . It was an inferior magic .
Seeing the deep crack before him, Jacob immediately understood what Saul meant . He took out a grey potion bottle, and as he opened the cap, the potion had transformed into glitter and splashed on the two sides of the cracks . That was the element solidification potion . It could prolong the magic's effect .
After their first combat, they felt more comfortable with one another . Everyone moved under the crack and stood together . Although the light aura and death aura clashed and caused discomfort, as top level powers, they were able to bear it .
The gap between the lower crack line and the upper crack line was about 30 meters high . It was safe for the time being . The Bone kekkai had rotated rapidly to the surface of the ground, causing a creepy, screeching sound . Everyone was looking at the top cautiously .
"If Minos releases the forbidden spells now, we will be in hot water," Bruzuryano laughed and said .
"We still gain . We have used a dimensional sanctuary scroll in exchange for a forbidden spell . " Saul said softly, "Moreover, I have brought six dimensional sanctuary scrolls . How many forbidden spells can Minos release?"
All of them laughed . Saul was obviously well-prepared for the war . Other than the six dimensional scrolls, he had brought other scrolls along with him . In fact, all of them had prepared well . There was no way they could lose . However, Morgan and the other two were not laughing . They had followed after Minos for a few hundred years now, and they knew how terrifying he was . Although they should be more optimistic, they were unable to relax .
"Sir Stan, is the Pope here?" Golman asked softly . If the long awaited mysterious saint did not appear, Minos' greatest threat would be William the Pope . Golman had to know .
"Don't worr, . " Stan nodded solemnly .
"That's great . " Golman let out a sigh of relief . Immediately, he had a strange feeling . In the past, every pope who assumed office happened to be the enemy of the necromancers . All the priests and Knights of Light wanted to get rid of Minos . Similarly, all the necromancers had wanted the pope dead . However, they now sought for the protection of the pope, which seemed ironic .
As they were talking, the Bone kekkai at the top stopped rotating, and had raised up slowly into the air .
"I will go and take a look . " Before Mauso finished speaking, he had turned into a giant eagle and had flown upward . The gap between the two cracks was about 10 meters, but it did not affect the excellent flying skills of Mauso .
After Mauso had flown out of the crack, there was a sharp squeaking sound . Bruzuryano was stunned and anxiously said, "Let's get out quickly!"
