Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 184 Fierce Battle

With the bone spur about to pierce through his body, Black Owl, relying on his instinct to sense danger, suddenly swerved to the right.

*Pfft*

The sharp bone spikes did not pierce the heart, but instead struck Black Owl's left arm, piercing through the bone armor covering it and the entire left arm.

Black Owl lost his left hand as a result.

Despite the excruciating pain of the severed limb, he did not stop. He immediately crouched down and rolled on the ground, dodging the second bone spike that protruded from the ground.

Then came the third and fourth ones —

Black Owl rolled quickly on the ground, dodging a whole row of bone spike attacks.

He paid the price of losing an arm for his lapse in concentration at a crucial moment.

The only saving grace is that the bone armor, though damaged, has begun to repair itself.

This is a unique feature of his bone armor; each piece of bone armor has different characteristics based on the owner's preferences and ideas.

This is also why Black Owl was able to discover the Second Holy Son's bone armor had an absorption function so quickly.

Black Owl has lost his left hand, but the situation is not yet at a point where despair should be expected.

After he stood still, he focused the bone armor's repair capabilities on the severed arm.

Immediately afterwards, bones began to grow rapidly from the severed arm.

From the left forearm to the palm and then to the five fingers, all the bones of the left arm were restored.

But only there.

Skeletons can only repair themselves; they cannot grow flesh, nerves, blood, or other things.

Fortunately, even though it's just a skeleton, the newly grown bone hand can still be used normally, which is a unique advantage of the skeleton demon.

While not as strong as a normal arm, it wouldn't render the Black Hawk disabled.

Seeing this, the crows in the distance felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of their hearts.

The illusory moon behind his head immediately began to spin, casting a shadow that appeared even darker and deeper.

Just as the Second Holy Son was about to press his advantage and continue attacking Black Owl, he suddenly felt something tightly pulling at his feet.

He looked down and discovered that it was the Moon Shadow that Dark Raven had originally used as a medium for the curse.

The slender moon shadow appeared thicker and deeper than before.

Unexpectedly, the moon's shadow could materialize and act as a restraint.

The Second Holy Son didn't care much; he raised his foot, intending to break the Moon Shadow's restraints.

However, the shadow beneath his feet, like ivy, quickly climbed up his entire body.

The second prince discovered that even lifting his foot was restricted.

It seems that the moon's shadow is not a real object, but something that exists between reality and illusion.

Before long, the moonlight had covered the entire body of the two holy sons.

This dark moon shadow not only restricts movement, but it also originates from the illusory moon behind the dark raven's head, serving as a direct attack curse of the Moon Shadow Spell.

Upon contact with the Second Holy Son's bone armor, the intangible moon shadow seemed to transform into a super-strong corrosive agent, continuously corroding the bone armor.

The bone armor, which had been attacked by the Black Owl's bone spikes, had already suffered some damage.

Now, further corroded by the Moon Shadow Curse, some of its vulnerable parts began to crack and collapse.

The Second Holy Son subconsciously tore at the shadow bindings on his body.

But then, several huge, dark bone spikes shot through the air.

Black Owl has recovered his fighting strength.

This time, he was no longer careless or hesitant; his move was a killing blow.

Upon seeing this, the two holy sons hurriedly brandished their bone spears to try and defend themselves, but because their bodies were bound by the moon shadow, they only managed to block one bone spike, while the rest shot towards their main body.

Bang, bang, bang—

A series of bone spikes shattered the bone armor.

Multiple bone spikes pierced through the Second Holy Son's body and embedded themselves in the ground, firmly fixing him in place.

His bone armor, having lost all its defense, was shattered into several large pieces, which fell to the ground.

Only then did everyone see the true faces of the two holy sons beneath the bone armor.

He had completely lost his flesh and blood, leaving only a sturdy skeleton.

But this does not mean he is dead.

On the contrary, this is a special combat form of the Bone Demon.

In this form, the Skeleton Demon transforms itself into a skeleton, possessing not only unparalleled attack power but also formidable defensive capabilities.

Dark Raven finally understood why his curse had no effect on the Second Prince.

Since the other party has no flesh and blood to lose, they are naturally not afraid of his curse.

He originally thought that with the opponent's bone armor broken and his body firmly pinned to the ground by several bone spikes, the second holy son of the Dark Tower had been basically dealt with.

But the other party's resilience was stronger than expected.

The two holy sons directly abandoned their bone armor and broke free from the bone spikes.

Black Owl immediately fired several more bone spikes, heading straight for the Second Holy Son.

It must be said that a lesson only needs to be taught once.

Black Owl clearly won't repeat the mistakes he made before.

Unfortunately, while his bone spikes were effective against the bone armor, they could only cause a slight impact on the Second Holy Son's true form, which had now become a Bone-Melting Demon, and posed no threat to him whatsoever.

Seeing this, Dark Raven immediately manipulated Moon Shadow to close in and firmly trap the skeleton of the Second Holy Son.

The two brothers worked together and actually managed to trap the Holy Son in place, making it difficult for him to break free.

Most importantly, the Dark Raven's Moon Shadow not only restrains the Second Holy Son's movements, but its corrosive properties also remain effective against the Bone-Melting Demon's true form.

If this drags on, the Second Holy Son will definitely be worn down to death.

Black Owl also noticed this and was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, by working together with his brother, they were able to defeat the Holy Son of the Dark Tower.

He had always looked up to the other three academies, even though they were all first-tier, he always felt that the gap between them was enormous.

He and Dark Raven were ranked among the top three in the first tier of the Dead Valley, but compared to the leader of the Dark Abyss, the Holy Son of the Dark Tower, and the leader of the Eternal Night Kingdom, Black Owl always felt inferior.

In retrospect, these seemingly unapproachable figures in his eyes were not so unattainable after all.

They are flesh and blood just like everyone else; they can die if they get injured.

In contrast, the Raven was much calmer.

If this drags on, we can indeed kill the second holy son of this dark tower.

But with so many people on the other side, they obviously wouldn't let the two of them continue like this, and would definitely come to stop them.

Black Owl immediately realized this as well, so he said to the five people from the Dead Spirit Valley, "Keep an eye on the group from the Dark Tower. If they come to interfere, hold them off. The longer it drags on, the better for us, understand?"

Black Owl's thinking was correct, but he clearly overestimated the strength of these five people.

Seeing that the five people remained silent and did not respond, he turned his head somewhat resentfully, only to see the fearful looks in their eyes as they stared at him.

"Watch out behind you!"

Finally, one of the five realized what was happening and shouted a reminder.

Black Owl raised an eyebrow and immediately tried to turn around.

However, he found himself unable to move, as if he were bound in place by some force.
