Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Noticing that the two sorcerers were giving chase, the winged skeleton had no choice but to inform Cuisi to retreat. There might be grand swordmasters following behind the two sorcerers too. A sorcerer was the most useful in ambushing a camp.

Cuisi was injured by a grade-7 sorcerer and was treated by Nicholas in Daliang City. He did not dare be that careless again. Hearing the winged skeleton’s calls, he tossed the short golden lance in his hand. The lance penetrated three cavalrymen in succession, then, he turned and fled.

When the other three demons saw Cuisi running away so quickly, they did not dare stay there any longer. They immediately followed Cuisi into the crowd of spirits.

Cuisi made a beeline for the winged skeleton. Arriving beside the winged skeleton, he said, “What do we do? We cannot deal with these people!”

“Master is with us.” The winged skeleton laughed as he made Cuisi’s heart beat wildly. Last time he laughed, a few hundred holes appeared in Cuisi’s body.

By the time the two sorcerers arrived at the first level of the camp compound, they noticed that the enemy had fled. Levitating in mid-air, the grade-7 sorcerer said, “We... better get back.”

( Boxno vel. co m ) The grade-8 sorcerer arched his brows, then berated, “If you allow others to come wreak havoc and leave arrogantly, shouldn’t you feel embarrassed receiving so much support from His Majesty?”

Seeing that the grade-8 sorcerer was livid, the grade-7 sorcerer could only tag along, as both men flew towards the main camp.

Observing that two sorcerers were hot on their heels, Su, who had all along remained beside Saleen, suddenly said, “Sir, let those two sorcerers land on the ground, then go and restrain that grade-8 sorcerer with all your might. I will handle that grade-7 sorcerer.”

“Su?” Sitting atop a skeletal warhorse, Saleen already saw that Su had drawn his sword. He felt a little astonished as the sword’s blade was dim and the Sword Aura was introverted. Su’s proficiency had been steadily maintained at the standard of a Silver Grand Swordmaster. “He is making really fast progress working beside Lex!”

“Sir, I can deal with that grade-7 sorcerer, don’t worry.” Su’s gaze was determines, so Saleen set his mind at ease. He remembered the time when Lex’s camp was assaulted by a Silver Grand Swordmaster, that invader could only be restrained with a combination of power. This combination included the power of an elderly assassin, a grade-7 sorcerer, and some Black Metal Grand Swordmasters.

It was relatively easy for a Silver Grand Swordmaster to kill a grade-7 sorcerer independently. The most vulnerable aspect was if the Silver Grand Swordmaster was outnumbered, and a sorcerer also knew how to fly.

“Prepare to attack.” Saleen declared.

He was ordering the trusted soldiers around him. Red streams of light were released from the elvish alchemical crossbows, pointing at the sky. The two sorcerers appeared very swiftly, in the blink of an eye, they were already two-hundred yards away. Saleen and company suddenly came to a halt, then the trusted soldiers turned around and took aim. Two-hundred red rays appeared in the sky, engulfing the two sorcerers within.

Any kind of magic skill would not act faster than light magic, the effective duration of light magic was similar to that of the other elements. When the red rays were fired, the two sorcerers blessed themselves with a defensive spell in that instant. They then immediately realized that the red light did not possess any offensive power.

When the two sorcerers saw the trusted soldiers protecting Saleen, they reacted differently.

The grade-8 sorcerer lunged forward aggressively, he planned to attack from a distance of fifty yards. The grade-7 sorcerer shrieked, “Elvish crossbows!” Then he turned around to leave.

His grade might be lower than that of his partner, but he possessed more knowledge. There were unique patterns on the elvish alchemical crossbow. When the grade-7 sorcerer spotted them, the only thought in his mind was to get out of the elvish alchemical crossbow’s range.

Saleen would never allow him to flee. Two-hundred elvish alchemical crossbows fired simultaneously, but the grade-8 sorcerer simply sneered. A wind dragon appeared before him and was about to blow away the dense formation of crossbow arrows.

This grade-8 sorcerer never expected Saleen to be immensely wealthy, these elvish alchemical crossbows were stored with genuine magic arrows. Tthe material used was divinecherry wood which possessed space attributes. The trusted soldiers were already proficient in various weapons, especially the ones who wielded the crossbows. With the red rays guiding their aim, all of the alchemical arrows sealed whatever escape routes the sorcerers could think of.

The crossbow arrows, made from divinecherry wood, flickered within the wind dragon before passing through it, coming before the grade-8 sorcerer.

Ka...

On the necklace hanging around the sorcerer’s neck, a segment of gems suddenly shattered. Dozens of alchemical arrows passed through the sorcerer’s shadow and continued towards the sky.

This grade-8 sorcerer was astonished and outraged as he experienced excruciating pain throughout his body. This equipment of his could save his life three times, it contained an autonomous non-elemental spell; Nihility.

In the face of fatal attacks, the three magic gems on the necklace would automatically turn his body into a shadow, but the sensation of pain would still exist. If it was not for this necklace, he would have been dead by now.

The two-hundred trusted soldiers appeared unfeeling, as they slid the front handle of their elvish alchemical crossbows and loaded another arrow.

The grade-7 sorcerer was farther away. Before becoming a sorcerer, his forte laid in escaping. When he realized that the enemy was employing elvish alchemical crossbows, he flew a few yards into the distance. He was then rudely awakened as he charged towards the ground.

The grade-8 sorcerer also reacted swiftly, but he remained an easy target in the air. By charging towards the ground, the grade-7 sorcerer actually increased his speed.

Saleen was sneering, he purposely created a formation for retreat to keep himself under protection, so that the sorcerers would have an attack target. “Indeed, the sorcerers ignored Mu En and they charged towards me. Since they are coming, they will have to leave something behind before escaping.”

Saleen really wanted to kill this grade-8 sorcerer, but the enemy would surely have other mages of higher grades. If his water puppet used the Crystal Finger, it would very likely crumble and it would require a few months of recovery.

“I shall endure, it is almost as good to kill a grade-7 sorcerer.”

Seeing that the grade-7 sorcerer had already landed on the ground, Su soared into the air. A silver ray of Sword Aura erupted in the night sky, as though it was going to split the earth.

While the four demons swarmed forward, the winged skeleton was making a beeline for the grade-8 sorcerer while holding his gigantic ax. In an instant, Saleen’s subordinates had encircled the grade-7 sorcerer.

This grade-7 sorcerer cast the Crystal Guardian spell instantly. At the same time, another colossal stone spear emerged from the ground, charging towards Su who had drawn his sword. The sorcerer’s actions were quick, he knew that he was on the verge of death. It was no longer possible to hold back. The sorcerer took out a black scroll and released it immediately.

He did not possess the ability to cast spells continuously like Saleen, he could only rely on scrolls to fill the free time between spellcasting.

When the black magic scroll was unleashed, a vibrant radiance lit up and caused those four demons who were going after the grade-7 sorcerer to be dizzied. The demons did not transform into their demonic forms and did not wear a mask, so the attack by this light-type spell caused the four of them to enter a state of temporary blindness.

Cuisi and the other three were demons. Back on the demonic plane, most battles occurred in pure darkness. When the grade-7 sorcerer saw them rushing out from the crowd of spirits, he thought that they were the followers of the skeletal mage. After a burst of the Cleansing Light spell, the spirits behind the demons were washed into a pile of bones, while the four demons were only blinded.

Without any treatment from divine spells, they would not be able to see anything for the next three to five days.

The four demons remained composed, such things happened way too often on the demonic plane. Raising his hand, Cuisi lashed his whip at the sorcerer, his weapon measured sixteen yards long. Before he could touch the sorcerer, his weapon could.

The sorcerer had cast magic erroneously, he had no choice but to open a second scroll. At this point in time, there was an earth-shattering rumble behind him. Wielding a longsword, Su appeared behind the sorcerer, and stabbed him.

A hair-raising sound filled the air as Su’s longswords pierced into the sorcerer’s Crystal Guardian. The sorcerer spit out a mouthful of blood, he was quickly losing blood.

The Sword Aura of a Silver Grand Swordmaster had entered the sorcerer’s body, forming a massive pressure, as though a few thousand pounds of water were forcefully injected into the sorcerer’s blood vessels. Even blood was simmering on the surface of his skin.

Su had slaughtered this grade-7 sorcerer in one hit. When the Crystal Guardian was shattered Su spit out a mouthful of blood. He stopped the bleeding right away. At the same time, he tossed the longsword aside.

Cuisi and the demons were horrified by Su’s attack, they never imagined that a human with such a frail body could unleash such a ferocious attack.

Around the sorcerer’s waist, an inconspicuous badge suddenly exploded with a red magical radiance. The four demons, the spirits, and Su backed away quickly at the same time.

A humongous fireball exploded. Using the sorcerer’s body as the center, it instantly expanded into a ring of fire more than fifty yards in diameter across the ground. All organisms within the ring of fire were destroyed, the heatwaves traveled for a few hundred yards before dissipating slightly.

This was an equipment which unleashed an autonomous defensive retaliation, but Su’s attacking speed was simply too fast. The magic equipment could not even react in time, it only displayed the fearsome attack after the sorcerer was killed.

A tiny shield appeared in Su’s left hand. As the ring of fire was expanding, this shield was ejecting the Sword Aura, but it was melted by the flames in an instant, and became deformed. Even Su’s body was sent flying, he slammed against the ground.

Su spat out another mouthful of blood, the attack just now was at least a level-9 single magic attack. If he did not retreat fast enough, he would have been killed. Sorcerers could not be trifled with unless one was a Golden Grand Swordmaster who could withstand such a spell.

The grade-8 sorcerer fled. When the second wave of assault from the elvish alchemical crossbows shot towards him, he cast the Crystal Reflection in an instant. When the arrows made from divinecherry wood struck the spell, only one arrow penetrated it and wounded the sorcerer’s arm.

This attack was not fatal and the sorcerer’s necklace did not release the Nihility skill. The sorcerer’s fear was heightened, “The enemy’s alchemical crossbows actually contain spatial attributes, even the Crystal Reflection cannot fully withstand all their attacks!”

At this moment, Su had already gotten back on his feet. Wielding a cutlass, he turned around and lunged at the grade-8 sorcerer. It was the winged skeleton who reached the sorcerer first. A flash of gray brilliance appeared, forming an enormous illusion. The winged skeleton transformed the gigantic ax into an axe wheel with a six yard diameter. He then slashed at the sorcerer forcefully.

The sorcerer raised his finger. At the front of his fingertips, hundreds of ice shards were formed in that instant. They formed the shape of a stone tower, blocking the winged skeleton’s ax.

Whenever a sorcerer got into a melee battle with a grade-8 spirit, they would fight as if they had rehearsed it. When the axe wheel came slashing down, the stone tower broke into smithereens. Each time the axe wheel was pressed down a little, the strength required to wield it would increase by tenfold though.

Saleen was bedazzled, “This grade-8 sorcerer is extremely proficient with his skills.” If Saleen did not need to leave urgently, he would have wanted to battle for a while longer, so that he could learn more things from his enemy.

Opening his mouth, the sorcerer spat out a fireball. This fireball had a green hue and it was making a beeline for the winged skeleton’s face.
