Hen Sen watched the purple ground glow and stand still as something moved below the earth .
Inside the rock of the mountain, he could discern a shadow . What it was, he could not yet tell . It was human in shape, hovering horizontally as if it were lying down . It was a Lynchian sight; one that unnerved him .
As he stared down at the crystallized ground, he heard a katcha sound . Then, the crystal underfoot began to web with cracks . The cracks spread across the peak as if they were netting it, like the keen silkworks of a spider . Eventually, it all shattered and left a deep hole in the ground .
Only the tower remained firm and standing . Everywhere else was suddenly tossed into ruin and dusty chaos .
Han Sen and Little Angel had taken flight and watched the scene unfold from the sky .
The hole seemed bottomless, and what might have resided way down in the pitch black depths of that place, Han Sen could not tell . There was only one place they could see that was unaffected .

There was a floating purple platform perched above the black abyss that had just formed . Atop it stood a handsome man clad in purple armor . His eyelashes were very long, and he was a drop-dead gorgeous man to look upon .
Han Sen had seen many handsome shura and spirits in his time, but they all paled in comparison to this person . The strangest thing was the fact that Han Sen was detecting a human energy radiating from him .
"Is he human?" Han Sen asked himself, as he looked at him .
"Was he trapped here by the skeleton?" Han Sen continued to wonder .
The human opened his eyes to reveal black pits, painting him as an even more mystic and enticing person . The skeleton had stopped reading the scroll at this point . He put it away before walking forward to approach the man on the platform .
When the skeleton had nearly reached the platform, the man still hadn't moved . He still looked a little unconscious, lying down as if in peaceful slumber .
"He must have been trapped by the skeleton; he had to have been!" Han Sen unsheathed his swords and rushed forward to attack the skeleton . He didn't want the man to get hurt .

Little Angel and Disloyal Knight accompanied Han Sen in the assault . But when the skeleton saw them coming, it quickly re-opened the scroll and prohibited their advance .
Han Sen finally saw the scroll and what it contained when the skeleton used it again . The words upon the scroll were gold, and it was written in an ancient language of the Alliance .
He could recognize this due to his study of languages in his time away from the sanctuaries .
Dong!
The Phoenix Sword and Taia, the Angel Sword, and Disloyal Knight's fist were thrown forward to break the scroll, but none were effective . Following this, a fight erupted, and not even the combined might of the three had what it took to tackle the skeleton .
Han Sen was shocked, seeing how the scroll could block them all . Little Angel had ten gene locks open, which made her the strongest of the three . So, it was frightening to think what power the skeleton might have truly possessed if it was able to repel and subdue the trio .

The green flames that surged inside the skeleton's sockets raged, and they flared as if the skeleton was angry about their disturbance . It started to enshroud itself in a black smoke of sorts, and it didn't take long for the smoke to cover its entire body .
The smoke eventually took the form of armor, which suited up the skeleton . With the fire that followed it, the skeleton looked like the reaper geared up for war . The skeleton, in its dark armor, gave off a terrible, frightening aura . Sensing the power its scrawny body actually wielded, Han Sen's face turned grim .
Snowball was hidden in Bao'er's chest as this happened . Bao'er had already brought out the gourd, but for some reason, she did not yet use it .
Han Sen rarely encountered foes that filled him with such a sense of dread or that exuded such power . Such enemies were few and far in-between, but without a shadow of a doubt, the skeleton was one of that prestigious few . It was up there with the likes of Big Mara in the Ancient Devil Shelter, Xiang Yin who went to the Fourth God's Sanctuary, and Sky King of the Sky Tree .
They were beings that had opened ten gene locks, and this skeleton's energy was just like them . It was just as powerful .
Han Sen would have liked to run, but the area he was in had been cordoned off with the transparent, purple walls .
Seeing the skeleton now approach him, Han Sen planned to use his super king spirit mode to attempt an escape alongside Little Angel . But then, curiously, the skeleton stopped in its tracks .
The skeleton turned its attention back to the platform, as the person in slumber woke up .
The man yawned, as if he really had been roused from a long, deep sleep . After he stretched, he looked at Han Sen with much surprise .
Boom!
The black-armored skeleton ran to the purple platform . With its speed, it really must have been an emperor .
Han Sen shouted to the man, saying, "Watch out!"
What transpired in the next second, though, shook Han Sen to his very core . It left him speechless and motionless . He stared at the man on the platform in disbelief . He thought he must have been dreaming, to witness something such like that happen .
The skeleton in black armor did not try to attack the man, it just knelt before him like a knight in a king's service .
"Is he really a human?" Han Sen looked at the platform in deep contemplation .
