Chapter 248: House Baratheon Sends its Regards, Moment of Revenge Approaches (2/2)

As if a minor earthquake had just occurred, a shockwave began propagating outwards from within the forest behind the four of them, carrying countless fragments and debris.

At the center of the shockwave, a profusely bleeding arcane master wearing scarlet leather armor and carrying an abnormally shaped dark red saber on their back appeared.

Rather than having a long and flat blade like a normal saber, the blade of this person’s dark red saber was thick and much shorter, making it very square.

“Teacher Rui!”

Ayrin and Rinloran exclaimed.

Although the crimson flames had disappeared when Hanson pulled his hand back in fright, Rui had already suffered a two finger wide burn over his left abdomen.

At this moment, even Ayrin could tell that Rui had exhausted most of the arcane particles within his body.

They had all been used up by the “Black Witch’s Last Tribute” just now.

“Skin Flayer Neilson…” Rui sneered coldly as his eyes slightly narrowed upon seeing the appearance of the bleeding arcane master wearing scarlet red leather armor.

“You actually managed to learn a skill from the Magus Era, the Black Witch’s Last Sacrifice which doesn’t even belong to arcane masters… indeed, each of the Holy Dawn Evil Six have abilities which surpass the norm… no wonder you all were once called the invincible arcane team,” Neilson said as he heavily panted after coughing up enough blood to fill up a large bowl. His long and narrow face was already devoid of color.

“Have you two have secretly sided with the Evil Dragon Followers? You actually dare to ambush us!” Stingham loudly shouted at this moment.

“You idiot, is there any point in saying that now?!”

As Rinloran watched Rui and waited for Rui’s next commands, he silently ridiculed Stingham in his mind.

“Evil Dragon Followers? You dare compare us with those trash who are willing to bow their heads to others in exchange for a little more power?” Hanson’s face had long since recovered to its originally perverse and crazed state as his fright had disappeared upon realizing that Rui’s Divine Altar of Darkness wasn’t targeting him.

As he eyed Stingham, it felt like he was looking at his prey, “You three little ones just happen to be on our list.”

Ayrin had a sudden realization as he shouted, “You two are working for House Baratheon?”

“Teacher Rui, I’m guessing that you reached such a conjecture upon realizing who I was? But now, you all know too much, so you all must now…” Hanson insidiously cackled.

“Use your full powers to kill one of them!”

Rui’s roar interrupted Hanson’s laughter as the last bit of arcane particles within his body all surged out.

“Time to fight!”

“Holy Gates of Life!”

Ayrin’s gaze locked onto Neilson as his body released powerful arcane energy fluctuations.

“Rui’s last attack will definitely be some kind of strange taboo skill!”

“How can these arcane energy fluctuations be so strong?!”

Hanson and Neilson both subconsciously backed up.

“This…?”

But right at this moment, Ayrin, Rinloran, and Stingham all abruptly froze in place as a raging whirlwind completely enveloped them, obstructing their vision.

When they could finally see clearly again, they suddenly discovered that they were nearly a hundred meters away from their original location.

“Hurry and run!”

“Just Hanson was already a hard enough opponent!”

Rui shouted at them at this time.

“Run!”

Ayrin, Rinloran, and Stingham abruptly woke up from their dazes and began fleeing as quickly as possible.

“We can’t. They move too much faster than us. If we all just flee then we will all be caught by noon.”

As the last traces of arcane energy around Rui’s body completely disappeared, Rinloran took a deep breath while turning towards Ayrin and decisively said, “Ayrin, carry Teacher Rui and leave this place. I’ll prevent them from chasing after you!”

“Stingham, take Teacher Rui and leave! Rinloran and I will prevent them from chasing after you!” Ayrin immediately said towards Stingham.

“It’s already too late,” Rui interrupted before Stingham could say anything. As he looked behind them, an unfathomable expression flashed through his eyes as he shouted, “You three split up and run.”

Boom!

At this exact moment, a terrifying arcane energy fluctuation surged out from within the dark forest and hit them like an avalanche.

Countless rope like streaks of black light erupted from the trees and surged towards the group of four as if they had minds of their own.

“Impenetrable Fog Arena!”

“Burning Star Domain!”

“Regardless of everyone else, I will definitely protect you!” Ayrin inwardly roared as he stepped in front of Rui. Two unfamiliar voices sounded as invocations abruptly sounded out from one side of the forest, followed by surging waves of arcane energy fluctuations.

An obscuring fog abruptly blocked their vision as numerous condensed streaks of burning starlight pierced down from the sky.

“Move!”

“Follow us!”

Several silver strands of starlight pierced through the dense fog, faintly revealing two figures who were also fleeing.
