Chapter 43 Dead End
Soon the time passed, and the surrounding tensions began to rise
Both sides remained motionless, as they began analysing each others stance ready too loook for an opening
Kevin with the other knights maintained an arm length worth of distance, while the king of bones stared intently at the priests hidden behind them
Obviously, if he a wanted to end this battle anytime soon, he would need to find a way to eliminate and stop their healing magic
Unfortunately, with the double protection from both the knights and the heroes, this situation was anything but easy for him
"Damn human ants, just die. I need to ask the dungeon lord something!"
Not caring to wait for a response, the king of bones summoned another bone spear in his hand and began to launch another attack
Looking at the knights who had just been healed, the king of bones decided to continue attacking
After all, he didn't believe the priests had infinite mana and could heal them indefinitely
All he needed to do was just to kill them a few times till they completely ran out of mana, then deal with the heroes and then the priests
And as for how to leave the heroes in despair, the king of bones had already thought of a way,
And this was was none other than killing all the surrounding knights and priests right before their eyes

Just imagining the scene, where the heroes broke down in despair as they watched their comrades fall one by one, the king of bones felt that this was the best plan
And unfortunately for his opposition, none of them had an idea of what he had in store for them
*Boom!*
With a loud boom, a huge explosion occurred under the king of bones fierce attack, Kevin who had already been on guard parried with his sword resulting in a loud boom
"Knights of the goddess of light, slay this undead abomination and do not let our godess down!" Shouted Kevin has he begun to launch a counter attack
"O godess of light"
" representative of all that is pure and good"
" give us power to eliminate all heretics who try to hinder your way!"
Solemn saying a prayer, Kevin along with all the other knights began glow with a bright gold holy aura
The holy song!
Although a famous hymn known throughout out the empire sang by the church of light
However, after being sang by the head inquisitor or the pope, the song was said to bring with it a series of special effects
Increased strength, agility, healing, senses and so many more, under the power of the head inquisitor
The song was capable of invoking the godess holy power's capable of turning the tides of war when used and the right time and situation
And facing the king of bones, a turn around was exactly what they needed this time.
"May the godess of light be with us! Defeat this heretic!"
"Arghhh!"
Which veins on his head on his head Kevin made a huge cross slash towards the king of bone a chest
Obviously the holy song wasn't just about singing a few lyrics
With veins on his head, Kevin could feel the blood in his body flow backwards as an unprecedented new found strength welled up from within his body
In fact, not only him felt like this but also the affected knights felt a huge load being burdened on their body as every second passed by
However, contrary to what one would expect, rather than wallowing in anguish about the pain they were receiving
Almost everyone had a huge smile plastered on their face as they felt that with this power they could finally beat the king of bones to the pile of calcium he originally was
Unfortunately, what happened next immediately dampened their mood
"Hahaha!"
"Should I call you foolish, or should I be thanking you"
Sending the change in their physical states, the king of bones couldn't help but burst into a fit of laughter
"Although I don't know what you guys did, but I'm sure it was because of that song you just sang"
"But do you really think just now I couldn't stop that song?"
Putting down his bone staff, with the position of a victor looking at his victim, the king of bones began to explain
"Judging from your current state, although you seem to have gained extraordinary strength, but what about it?"
"You obviously don't seem to be able to hold such a state for a long time, with my estimates being as high ten to twenty minutes"
"This means that as long as I maintain a defensive mode for that period of time, then this your act just now would be the same thing as defeating yourself"
"So that brings me to my earlier question, should I thank you? Or call you foolish?" Said the king of bones with an undisguised sarcasm riddled in his tone
And the everyone else hearing this, quickly lost the smiles they had on their faces
Just kidding, just within a few seconds of activation their trump card, the king of bones had already both analyzed it's properties and thought of a countermeasure
However, if that wasn't enough, the king of bones next set of actions left them completely helpless
Before anyone could react, and after distracting their attention with his words just now, the king of bones quickly put his palms on the ground
"Bone cage!"
Summoning a huge amount of bones, the king of bones completely trapped them in a squares shaped cage completely made of bones
Obviously he planned to let them tire themselves out within the cage and deal with them while they were weak
And the knights, who were still lost in the horrors and abilities of a named monster could not watch helplessly as the sudden cage descended before them
Like a group of pets in a zoo, could it be that their fate would result in them being caged?
