"The longsword swung repeatedly at them, and the bones only showed slight cracks, unable to cause any effective damage!"
"Their bones shimmer with a silvery metallic sheen! They look like theyâre made of metal!"
Lusenâs hand shook, and the cup fell onto the table with a clang.
Leon and the adjutantâs gazes simultaneously fell on Lusen.
"Apologies."
Lusen apologized immediately and then changed the subject,
"However, Lord Commander, if there are thousands of skeleton creatures with that metallic sheen, itâs no small matter."
"What do you mean?"
Leon was baffled by this reaction.
Lusen explained, "If Iâm not mistaken, these are skeleton creatures enhanced by a necromancer."
"Ordinary skeletons are indeed fragile; even a farmer can smash them with a hoe."
"But the enhanced skeleton creatures have bodies as hard as metal, making them difficult to kill."
"If their bones shimmer with a silver light, they might be silver-level skeleton creatures, naturally resistant to physical attacks."
Lusenâs words made Leon frown deeply.
"Then what should we do?" Leon asked.
"Use spells or the knightsâ aura to target the necromantic flames in their skulls."
Lusen said, "Weapons imbued with magical aura can also harm their necromantic flames."
"Alright."
Leon turned and instructed the adjutant, "Gather all the mid-level and above knights from the nobility here, and bring me my armor."
"Lord Commander, you plan to go personally?" the adjutant asked with some nervousness.
"Yes."
A smile appeared on Leonâs face,
"I want to lead a true knight squadron to see what these so-called enhanced skeleton creatures are like."

Northern Wasteland, Lord Manor.
Having consumed the Enlightenment Potion, Luo De sat properly on the chimney, awaiting the effects of the potion to take hold.
According to past experiences, the Enlightenment Potion would bring intense pain.
The effect of the Magic Potion of the Ember Breathing Technique would make the body feel like itâs being burned by flames, causing the skin to become exceptionally parched.
For this, Luo De had prepared ice and a large bucket of water.
However, after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
Through the skylight, Luo De saw the sun already up, yet his own shadow remained unaffected.
Luo De furrowed his brow.
He checked his physical condition.
No pain, no burning, as if he had just drunk a cup of ordinary tea.
"Did it fail?"
Luo De couldnât help but mutter to himself, frowning.
Was there an issue in the Magic Potion production process?
Or was Vivianâs blood ineffective?
Luo De pondered, perhaps the previous training resulted in a less intense reaction?
Since he had already drunk the Enlightenment Potion, he decided to try the Breathing Technique itself.
Luo De jumped off the bed, straightened his back, and began positioning himself and adjusting his breathing according to the method recorded in the ancient texts.
Suddenly, a faint warm current rose from his limbs and began circulating within his body.
Before Luo De could react, a strand of blazing energy suddenly started to become active!
Like a water puddle on a dry riverbed suddenly encountering long-awaited rain, it immediately became restless!
The blazing energy and the newborn aura resonated with each other, forming a complete cycle within him.
The aura guided the flow of the blazing energy, continuously nurturing that strand of blazing energy to grow.
The blazing energy perfectly integrated with the aura cultivated from the Ember Breathing Technique, as if they originated from the same source, blending seamlessly together!
The cultivation directly doubled compared to before!
Nature also began to operate wildly, and Luo Deâs bodyâs blazing energy rapidly filled up!
"Durantâs calculations were indeed effective!"
Luo De was filled with joy, and couldnât help but exclaim.
In fact, Luo De didnât know that the reason for the doubled improvement in cultivation, besides the blazing energy, was also due to his exceptionally strong physique.
Durant was right about one thing, blazing energy is indeed the essence of aura, unique to a Legendary Knight.
However, Durant didnât realize another aspectâthat the state during a Legendary Knightâs Breathing Technique Cultivation is precisely the operation of the blazing energy inside.
This aspect is determined by oneâs physique.
Luo De has a strong physique, able to withstand the radiant energyâs continuous brilliance, allowing the blazing energy to smoothly transition into operating as aura.
For other weaker witches, such as Linda, achieving this would be impossible.
However, Luo De had just started the Ember Breathing Technique, and his body wasnât fully adapted yet.
When all the blazing energy begins to operate, Luo De will truly become a Legendary Knight in name and in reality.
"Hooâ"
Moments later, Luo De took a long breath, feeling a fatigue he hadnât experienced in a long time.
Although the nature within him had begun operating wildly, the burgeoning energy still couldnât relieve the fatigue.
Luo De estimated that he had only cultivated for three hours.
"Perhaps itâs because itâs a newly learned breathing technique, and the body needs time to adapt."
Luo De speculated in his mind.
The good news was that the energy within Luo Deâs body was already abundant.
"Vivian, tell Leia to prepare lunch."
Luo De sat in a chair and commanded loudly.
In fact, lunch time had passed long ago.
But when the Lord desires something, no matter the time, no one can refuse.
"Also, send me three Frost Iron Guards."
...
...
After condensing three seeds of nature, the blazing energy in Luo Deâs body was once again completely depleted, leaving him as empty as a dried riverbed.
Thus, when night fell, after dinner, Luo De planned to return to his room to train.
