Chapter 248 - Traitor (2/2)

Under the continuous low-temperature attacks, the bones of the spectral dragon began to become fragile and increasingly easier to break. Roy’s fierce melee combat forced Arantir to cast Heal Undead repeatedly to repair the spectral dragon’s injuries.

The spectral dragon was too large and had a disadvantage. Roy was too small and too fast for it to catch. Although Roy did not doubt the tremendous power contained in the claws and tail, he still needed to hit it.

At this moment, a huge black fireball suddenly flew over and hit the side of the dragon’s abdomen from the other side. Although it was blocked by one of the spectral dragon’s ribs, after the black fireball exploded, it still frightened Arantir!

Turning his head to look through a gap, Arantir noticed that the black fireball was actually shot from a distance by the fallen angel. The more than a hundred liches under Arantir had all been burned into black bones by Julia, and the death knights and wights were unable to reach Julia, who was flying in the air. This allowed Julia to finally find a chance to support Roy.

The support from Julia made Arantir’s heart ring in alarm. Arantir looked at another side. Although the enormous three-headed hellhound was covered in wounds, the bones of several bone dragons were already lying under its feet…

Arantir finally realized that while he was focused on fighting the demon, his undead army was already at a disadvantage!

What should I do? If I cast Mass Raise Dead, I can turn the situation around. But in this case, will I have enough remaining magic power to support the Death Incarnation’s battle against the demon?

But while Arantir was hesitating, Roy did not give him much time to consider. A strong flash of light suddenly erupted in the dark desert under the night sky!

An incomparably thick black bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, directly smoting the spectral dragon’s forehead!

The entire black body of the spectral dragon was completely illuminated at this moment. Although it was only a few milliseconds, the scene of the flash seemed to have frozen, leaving a deep impression… Roy finally seized a chance to launch a big move!

Unlike Arantir, he had the support of the Cold Winter Armor. Although he consumed a lot of magic power, he could quickly recover it. At this moment, he had already occupied the upper hand in terms of remaining magic power.

The black lightning carried a powerful destructive force, causing the spectral dragon’s thick power of death to dissipate by half instantly. Although Arantir had not been directly attacked by the lightning in the dragon’s abdominal cavity, he was still shocked. He could clearly see the power of death on the spectral dragon fading, revealing a portion of its skeleton.

If the power of death on the spectral dragon’s body thoroughly dissipated, it would be very troublesome to recover, and Arantir would lose his strongest combat power for a short time.

I can’t allow this situation to happen! Arantir instantly made a decision and shouted, “Go!”

The next moment, the spectral dragon flapped its wings and floated up from the ground. Then it turned around, flapped its wings, and quickly flew away.

Arantir escaped. He did not even care about his undead army. After all, he could gather an undead army again, but if the Death Incarnation was broken, he would be in big trouble.

Looking at the spectral dragon flying away in the night sky, Roy wanted to chase after it. But after thinking about it, he stopped.

Roy could not estimate how much magic power Arantir had left. He had taken the initiative to retreat rather than losing, and Roy was unsure whether he could really kill Arantir if he chased after him.

What Roy was most worried about was actually the spectral dragon. After Arantir had summoned this unusual spectral dragon, Roy had been wondering if Arantir being the so-called Chosen of Asha was real. Was the power of the Dragon of Order really protecting Arantir, and would killing him attract Asha’s anger?

Roy could not act so recklessly, so he planned to ask first. As for who he was asking… hehe, did the vampire who escaped earlier think that Roy could not find him hidden under the sand?

With Arantir’s departure, the remaining undead army seemed to have lost their backbone and became confused. Cassandra knew that Arantir had cut off his connection with these undead, so she immediately took the opportunity to use her mental power to obtain control over a portion of the high-level undead and imprinted her necromancer mark on them.

In the end, she controlled a total of eleven bone dragons, more than thirty death knights, and more than ten wights. Finally, she left some margin to control hundreds of skeleton soldiers before reaching her limit.

Although Cassandra was not as powerful as Arantir and could only control a part of the high-level undead, with the help of these high-level undead, she quickly killed the remaining undead.

Fat Tiger was the most injured in this battle. After returning, he whimpered and pretended to be miserable in front of Roy. Roy could only use souls to make a healing potion and feed it to him so that he could recover, and Julia used her flames to help Fat Tiger get rid of the toxin of the aging force from being bitten by the bone dragons.

The bones on the battlefield looked terrifying, but Roy could not care less. He got up and walked toward the place where the vampire was hiding. But before he could capture the vampire, the vampire jumped out of the sand!

“Ah-! Powerful demon!” As soon as Giovanni came out, he put his hand to his chest and bowed his head to Roy. “I am Vampire Count Giovanni, and I salute you! I didn’t expect you to defeat Death Lord Arantir. I can only say that your strength is terrifying!” Hearing this, Roy could not help but stop. He sized up the vampire who called himself a count and asked, “Oh? Aren’t you Arantir’s subordinate?”

“No, I am not his subordinate! We are just purely in a cooperative relationship!” Giovanni unconsciously revealed his sharp canine teeth, and a slightly flattering smile appeared on his face. “But now it seems like I should choose another collaborator!”

Roy understood. This vampire in front of him was actually a traitor!
