With a forceful push from his left foot against the ground, Long Haochen used the momentum of his sword strike to surge forward. In his hand, Light Ripple almost instantly transformed into a dense white, and immediately, a beam of white light shot out from the sword, heading straight for the red skeleton.

The sword turning white naturally meant it had become a Holy Sword, and that point of white light was a special attack in the Holy Sword state: Holy Radiance!

Even the red skeleton didn’t dare to underestimate the attacking power of Holy Radiance. With no other choice, it had to use its shield to protect itself. With a resounding crash, the powerful attack of Holy Radiance forced it to retreat another step. By this time, Long Haochen was already close to it.

The Glorious Holy Shield was put away. At this moment, Long Haochen held only Light Ripple, now gleaming with the radiance of the Holy Sword.

Asura Slash.

In an instant, Long Haochen seemed to enter a special state, exuding an incomparably sharp sword intent. This simple Asura Slash was executed with a feeling akin to being one with the sword. It was clearly visible that, centered on his body, a white halo with a diameter of five meters instantly contracted inwards.

Because Long Haochen’s transition was so swift, the red skeleton had no time to counterattack and could only continue to defend with its shield. At the same time, it slightly angled its body, using the side of the shield to meet the attack, trying to deflect the force and then counterattack immediately.

However, it underestimated the power of Long Haochen’s sword. The instantaneously elevated essence, qi, and spirit filled Long Haochen’s sword with an indomitable aura.

The sword intent was what Long Haochen had gradually comprehended from the Aria of the Goddess of Light. The reason he didn’t use the divine sword was because he didn’t want to damage the red skeleton’s body.

“Boom!” The shield shattered, and the red skeleton was actually knocked away by the sword strike. Moreover, because its body was angled towards Long Haochen before, it spun halfway in the air as it flew.

The four wings on Long Haochen’s back finally flapped at this moment. A flash of lightning-like gold vanished in the air. He kicked the red skeleton in the waist, and at the same time, Light Ripple severed the red skeleton’s right hand holding the bone saber. Immediately after completing these two actions, Long Haochen, still in the air, turned halfway and delivered a powerful elbow strike to the red skeleton’s throat.

This series of attacks was almost instantaneous. The next moment, the two were abruptly separated, and the red skeleton flew three zhang away, crashing heavily to the ground. Its right hand, still clutching the bone saber, had also separated from its body and fallen to the ground.

Watching this extremely exciting battle, the members of the Sixty-Fourth Grade Commander Demon Hunt Squad couldn’t help but reveal fervent expressions in their eyes. They had won. After nearly a year, they had finally defeated this powerful red skeleton. And in a one-on-one situation, Long Haochen had not allowed Ya Ting and Haoyue to assist him in the battle. This was a sign of respect for the strong.

“Ugh…” The red skeleton seemed to moan, using its left hand to support itself as it slowly got up from the ground.

Long Haochen once again released the Glorious Holy Shield from Eternal Melody, holding it in front of him, preparing to continue the fight.

But the red skeleton did not attack again. It stared at Long Haochen for a full ten seconds, then slowly nodded to him. It even knelt down on one knee, making a gesture of bowing to Long Haochen.

What was this? Long Haochen looked at it in surprise. “Senior, you don’t need to do this.”

“Master, Saint Guard Number Twelve reports to you.” A deep and ancient voice sounded from the red skeleton’s mouth. “In any world outside the Eternal Tower, any being who wishes to harm you must step over my shattered bones.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the red skeleton’s massive body suddenly turned into a beam of red light and flew towards Long Haochen. In the air, his body became smaller and smaller. When he reached Long Haochen, he had become a small cluster of red flames. The next moment, he disappeared into Eternal Melody.

Long Haochen only felt a slight warmth in his chest. He pulled open his collar and looked down, clearly seeing a small cluster of red flames gently flickering on the white skull gem of Eternal Melody, which emitted golden light.

Saint Guard Number Twelve?

Looking at the ground, where even the severed hand, bone saber, and shield fragments had vanished without a trace, Long Haochen couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Boss, what’s going on? Is it a skill or an enhanced spiritual energy?” Sima Xian asked excitedly. They had all seen the red light but hadn’t heard Saint Guard Number Twelve’s voice, so they thought it was the same as before.

Long Haochen shook his head and smiled wryly. “I’m afraid I’m going to be forced to become a necromancer.” He repeated Saint Guard Number Twelve’s words and said, “If I’m not mistaken, I should now have the ability to summon that red skeleton as a guardian. Wait a moment, I’ll try.”

As he spoke, Long Haochen slowly closed his eyes. The next moment, a red light flashed, and the tall red skeleton, Saint Guard Number Twelve, appeared in front of Long Haochen. His previously severed arm and damaged shield had been completely restored, and a fiery, unrestrained aura slowly bloomed.

Long Haochen opened his eyes. He discovered that his soul seemed to be connected to this red skeleton, and it could completely obey his commands to fight. Moreover, it had a certain degree of self-awareness, which was the combat instinct that Long Haochen and the others had seen before.

The others looked at each other, unsure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

They all knew the disaster that necromancers had brought to the continent. Long Haochen was a knight with the physique of the Son of Light! If he really became a necromancer, it would be too absurd, and the Temple Alliance would definitely not accept it. But this Saint Guard Number Twelve had already entered Long Haochen’s Eternal Melody on his own. Could they drive him out? Long Haochen couldn’t fully control his Eternal Melody!

“Haochen.” Cai’er held Long Haochen’s hand. “Actually, I think you’re overthinking it. In this world, nothing is completely righteous or evil. Even necromancers can be light-attributed. What else is impossible? You have this power, but you don’t necessarily have to use it. Moreover, this red skeleton with the soul of a strong person doesn’t have the slightest death aura. Summoning him will only be to deal with the demons. You don’t need to have any psychological burden when using him to kill demon invaders, right?”

Han Yu nodded. “What Vice-Captain said is right. Although this Eternal Tower was left behind by the Necromancer Saint God Iyer, it doesn’t have any hostility towards you or us. On the contrary, our strength has been constantly improving with its help. As long as we don’t waver in our hearts, the worldly views don’t matter. Moreover, we can completely hide its existence well.”

Sima Xian said, “Yeah! More than seventy percent of the Demon Hunt Squads’ final destinations are in the Demon territory. Maybe one day we will die there too. Boss, don’t think so much about it. Just accept it. Let’s continue forward and see what else is on this first floor.”

With the support of his teammates, Long Haochen’s expression relaxed a bit. In fact, after so long, he had also figured it out, but he didn’t want this matter to cause disharmony in the team. He underestimated his teammates’ trust in him. No one questioned his decision.

His mental power connected with Eternal Melody. Long Haochen’s mind moved slightly, and Saint Guard Number Twelve had already turned back into a red light, hidden within it. It seemed that he was being nourished by Eternal Melody itself.

“Maintain formation, continue forward.” Long Haochen shouted. Holding the Glorious Holy Shield and Light Ripple, he took the lead at the front.

The Light Ripple, this Glorious-grade heavy sword, had a very powerful attached skill. When attacking, it would create spirit power ripples like shadows, which would act as a second additional attack. The power was about one-third of the direct attack.

In other words, when Long Haochen used the Holy Sword to attack, the additional second attack would be one-third of the Holy Sword’s power. This was also an important reason why Saint Guard Number Twelve couldn’t completely block Long Haochen’s attack. Of course, Long Haochen also understood that if Saint Guard Number Twelve had a set of equipment at the same level as his, it wouldn’t be so easy to defeat him. After all, Long Haochen had learned some of his combat techniques from him.

This time, they sneaked for a full twenty meters before the Eternal Tower reacted. Moreover, it seemed that they were getting closer and closer to the end of the first floor. They could vaguely see a tall statue at the innermost part of the first floor.

A crystal clear blue light descended from the sky. In the blue light, a skeleton that looked no different from Saint Guard Number Twelve slowly rose from the ground. The ice-blue halo seemed to instantly inject into its body, but its body didn’t swell up like Saint Guard Number Twelve, but rather remained at a height of about 1.8 meters. However, its entire skeleton had turned deep blue, and two clusters of blue soul fire were violently flickering in its eye sockets. In its right hand, a long staff quietly appeared.

“A magical skeleton, everyone be careful.” Long Haochen shouted, and at the same time, his body, like an arrow, launched a charge towards the blue skeleton, almost instantly increasing his speed to the maximum. He had a premonition that this should be the final level of the first floor of the Eternal Tower. By passing this level, everything on the first floor of the Eternal Tower would be presented before their eyes.

A fiery scarlet-gold flame instantly rose from around Long Haochen’s body, illuminating everything in the Eternal Tower, he was not only doing this to fight against the opponent who was clearly ice-attributed, but also to illuminate everything around him for his teammates, so that everyone could respond to the blue skeleton’s attack.

The blue skeleton was essentially different from the red skeleton on the sixth level. After its soul fire was lit, it didn’t make a sound, but instead seemed incredibly calm. Facing Long Haochen’s charge, its body slid backwards as if it were sticking to the ice. At the same time, it gently pointed its staff, and a thick ice mist swept towards Long Haochen.

“Hehe, it’s time for me to show off.” Lin Xin’s excited voice rang out. A layer of blue flames suddenly appeared in front of Long Haochen, as if it had been emitted by himself.
