But then, something shocked the leader of the Bone Clan.

The familiar of Duerer General clawed through his chest and tore out his heart. Duerer General coughed up blood and looked strange.

Soon, the Bone Clan warriors standing in the center of the Ancestral Spirits' flower petals all had their chests burst open, and pieces of their hearts fell to the ground.

Then, a ray of holy light hit Duerer General. His broken heart quickly healed.

But the Bone Clan warriors all stood in shock. Duerer General's heart had healed, but their own hearts were still lying on the ground.

Seeing this, the leader of the Bone Clan shouted in anger: "Damn it, this guy's ability is to hurt himself and hurt the enemy! He gets hurt, and the enemy gets hurt too!"

After saying that, the Bone Clan leader immediately looked at Monet.

Compared to Duerer General's ability, Monet's support was even more deadly.

Because now, the familiar around Duerer General had started a second round of deadly attacks.

This time, Duerer General's head was smashed flat by his own familiar. The effect on the more than twenty Bone Clan warriors on the Ancestral Spirits' flower petals was that they all got their heads blown off.

As waves of holy light and healing energy came down, Duerer General's head miraculously healed.

He looked up at the Bone Clan warriors on top of the flower petal and sneered: "What a stubborn race. Even having your head blown off doesn't kill you? Then let's try other parts."

Then, Duerer General broke his own limbs one by one, constantly testing the Bone Clan warriors' fatal weaknesses.

The leader of the Bone Clan watched as his own clan members were beaten and blown apart again and again. He was so angry he gritted his teeth.

He took a step forward and teleported right in front of Duerer General.

As soon as he appeared, the Bone Clan leader released a corrosive acid mist toward Duerer General.

But Duerer General didn't even try to defend. Instead, he looked like he was enjoying it, spreading his arms wide to welcome the acid mist.

Even Duerer General's familiar didn't defend. Instead, it looked at the Bone Clan leader with mockery, then kept attacking Duerer General.

Duerer General's skin was eaten away by the acid mist. The Bone Clan warriors' skin peeled off, their bodies bubbled, and they all looked terrible.

Duerer General's ribs were crushed into pieces. The Bone Clan warriors became like soft creatures, falling to the ground and moving weakly.

The Bone Clan leader saw this and stared angrily at Duerer General: "You're asking for death!"

As he said that, the Bone Clan leader charged straight at Duerer General. His tentacles behind him acted like drills, stabbing toward Duerer General.

Duerer General's arms, legs, and stomach were pierced. He spat out a mouthful of blood, spraying it all over the Bone Clan leader: "Cough, cough, you've been tricked!"

As he finished speaking, the magic circle under Duerer General's feet lit up again. A purple inferno flowed through Duerer General's blood and burned into the Bone Clan leader's body.

The unbearable pain made the Bone Clan leader scream.

He quickly opened his mouth and inhaled the purple inferno into his body.

Duerer General laughed coldly: "The second stage of the ritual has begun!"

Then, several of Duerer General's familiars, as well as Duerer General himself, had purple inferno magic circles rising under their feet.

Immediately after, the dozens of familiars and Duerer General all started to hurt themselves. They blew their own heads off, cut off their hands, pulled out their hearts, dug out their lungs... all kinds of terrible injuries appeared on them at the same time as they appeared on the Bone Clan leader.

These injuries, which would be deadly to humans, didn't kill the Bone Clan leader in one hit, but they left him too weak to fight back.

At this critical moment, the Bone Clan leader's life force, an octopus, screamed behind him.

At that moment, all the Bone Clan warriors, including the leader, took out pieces of Amara's meat and ate them along with blood and pieces of organs.

Soon, the heavily injured Bone Clan warriors began to recover.

Even the leader of the Bone Clan regained his fighting ability.

Thanks to the energy from the Amara meat, the Bone Clan leader and his warriors entered a strange balance.

Just like Duerer General, any wounds they got were instantly healed by the energy from the Amara meat.

For a moment, a strange scene appeared in the underground space.

Duerer General kept ordering his familiars to hurt themselves. Because they were hurting so fast, the Bone Clan warriors could heal their wounds, but they still winced in pain.

Because pain couldn't be treated.

Even if the wounds healed, the pain from them stayed.

And that was the clever part of Duerer General's secret battle style.

Monet General slightly lifted his lips. His holy light wings behind him began to turn black.

In the end, twelve wings appeared—half light, half dark. This was Monet General's ultimate form, his battle style: Fallen Angel.

Then, twelve six-winged angels appeared behind Monet General. They were also half light, half dark.

They surrounded him and chanted together, casting the skill "Pain Illusion."

In an instant, all living things in the underground space fell into a trance. Their eyes were empty, their hands dropped, and their knees hit the ground.

"Cough, cough!" Monet General spat out some blood and turned to smile at the camera behind him: "Everyone, the Bone Clan is much stronger than we thought. You've seen it, both me and Duerer can't deal effective damage to the Ancestral Spirits."

"So what we can do is to hold back the Bone Clan's strength. The rest, the Ancestral Spirits and that girl, Malcom, Sean, and Claude will keep wearing them down, slowing their evolution. Then it's up to you."

After saying that, Monet General looked up at the platform.

Duerer General and his familiars were still hurting themselves crazily.

Unlike the "Pain Illusion" skill of other familiars, the pain from that skill was fake.

Monet General's "Pain Illusion" was real. It made people who felt pain fall into the most wonderful fantasy, and they would stop trying to escape. They would stay in the fantasy, forgetting the real pain in their bodies.

In the military command center, Judge Arthur sighed: "This battle style was originally created by Monet General to make dying soldiers feel happy before they passed away."

"One day, Monet General found out that when this ability was combined with Duerer General's battle style, the target would almost never wake up from the illusion."

"Because the stronger the physical pain, the stronger the pleasure in the fantasy. There was no way to bring them back through physical means."

Logan nodded, full of admiration: "The old generals' combat skills are truly impressive. Each of them pushed their battle styles to the limit."

Judge Arthur smiled and explained: "This is a necessary path to reach the Saint stage. Even though we don't have as much information as Pinocchini, using familiars to strengthen ourselves is definitely the right way."

Logan raised an eyebrow: "So, the generals never gave up on becoming Saint stage even when they got old?"

Judge Arthur laughed: "After a lifetime of training, who can give up their dream so easily?"

Inside the Golden Sand City.

Xavier General and Dominic General stood on a pile of ruins, surrounded by smoke.

On top of the broken buildings, four Bone Clan warriors watched them coldly, their eyes full of cruelty.

The four were led by a squid-like warrior named Sack. Each of them had the ability to switch bodies, and their powers complemented each other well.

Xavier General spat on the ground in anger: "This battle is really frustrating."

Dominic frowned: "We miscalculated. Their abilities are really strong against us."

"One more time!" Xavier General roared, turning his body into a giant of steel and charging at one of the Bone Clan warriors.

The Bone Clan warrior didn't run. Instead, he started chanting a spell, with crackling electricity wrapping around his body.

Just as Xavier was about to smash the warrior's head with his fist, the lightning suddenly vanished. In its place stood the terrifying face of Sack, the squid-like warrior.

"Your opponent is me!" Sack laughed, his body stretching like rubber and wrapping around Xavier.

Then, a series of lightning bolts fell from the sky, as thick as trucks. They struck Xavier's body, but Sack just laughed, completely unaffected.

At the last moment, Dominic shouted and created a crystal shield in the air, blocking the lightning.

Seeing this, Sack didn't fight any longer. He let go of Xavier and quickly jumped back, swapping places with the Bone Clan warrior who had just cast the lightning.

The battle returned to the original situation—four against two.

In the live stream, almost all of the top familiar tamers in the Federation were watching the ground battle.

"Damn it, they run away after attacking. Their abilities are really cheating!"

"These four Bone Clan warriors can switch bodies anytime. The one who cast the lightning, the Arcane Warden, used this to his advantage and chanted in front of the warrior."

"Xavier General is known as the Fist General. He focused all his power on close combat. That gave the enemy a chance. It's really annoying!"

On the battlefield, Dominic helped Xavier up and coldly looked around.

Sack's plan was clear—he wanted to wear down the two old generals.

By now, the Bone Clan no longer underestimated human strength.

At least, they no longer ignored the high-level power of the human Federation.

Sack glanced toward the distant sixty-four light gates, feeling some fear.

Just a moment ago, four of [The Death God of Love] had exploded from inside those gates.

Thinking about the massive power of those weapons, compressed into just the sixty-four gates, made Sack shudder.

He was sure the battle behind those gates wasn't over yet. What he could do was stop the two human generals from going to help before the gates broke open.

So, Sack aimed at Dominic and coldly said: "Power up!"

As Sack gave the order, the other three Bone Clan warriors began chanting spells.

When their magic power reached its peak, Sack raised his hands like a camera, pointing them at Dominic and shouting: "Switch!"
