Chapter 296: An Attacking Thicket (2/2)

Several blades of green swordlight fell directly onto the body of the dazed Evil Dragon Follower, who was unable to react in time.

“Argh!” the Evil Dragon Follower screamed as the swordlight pierced through their body.

“What arcane skill is this, and why hasn’t he used it before? It’s so powerful!” Stingham exclaimed in shock.

“So strong! Perhaps this is an effect of the Lunar Essence’s baptism?” Ayrin excitedly thought to himself.

“What?!” cried out the other Evil Dragon Follower, who was enveloped within a cloud of sand, as they abruptly froze in place.

They had originally believed that their partner’s domain was already enough to kill, or at least heavily injure, Ayrin’s group, yet in the blink of an eye, his partner was the one who had ended up dying. And his partner was about as strong as him!

“The Treasured Book of Sealing?”

This Evil Dragon Follower must have had good eyesight as he saw the book between Ayrin’s hands and immediately identified it as the Melissa’s legendary artifact, the Treasured Book of Sealing.

They were abruptly at a loss. They knew Melissa’s Treasured Book of Sealing could seal up to three different domains at a time. It was impossible for them to win.

But as they turned head and began to run away, this Evil Dragon Follower screamed out, “This arcane team over here is in possession of Melissa’s Treasured Book of Sealing!”

“This guy’s running away just like that? Don’t run! Come let me rob you first!” Stingham shouted as he immediately began chasing after the fleeing Evil Dragon Follower.

As he chased, he released his arcane particles. But much to his dismay, the moment his arcane particles emerged from his body, he became enveloped by a thicket of rapidly growing weeds and vines once more. In but a moment, he had disappeared, and a small jungle had appeared in his place.

“Another powerful enemy has come!”

At the same time, another terrifying arcane energy fluctuation swept across them, violently disturbing the air around them.

Streams of water began to condense in midair, eventually forming a massive snake which shot towards Ayrin.

An arcane master wearing dark red robes with a sinister expression stood in the mouth of the massive water snake. His greed-filled eyes were fixated on the Treasured Book of Sealing between Ayrin’s hands.

“This guy has opened at least five arcane gates!”

“Treasured Book of Sealing: Release Seal!”

As the massive water snake swooped down towards him, the violent gusts of air it generated sent Ayrin flying backwards atop the giant stone he was standing on. But not a single trace of fear appeared on Ayrin’s face. Instead, it was filled with a fiery fighting intent as Ayrin placed his right hand onto one of the glowing red crystals embedded in the book’s cover.

Boom!

A scorching domain energy erupted outward as even the clouds in the sky began to burn.

The water snake began to steam as it quickly shrunk in size.

“Devouring Black Hole!”

As if he had expected such a scenario, a smug smile emerged on the face of the arcane master standing within the water snake’s mouth.

A deep and mysterious looking cluster of black light abruptly appeared before him.

The cluster of black light released a strange energy which invisibly descended over Ayrin.

Ayrin felt a tremendous suction force act on him, causing his body to fly up into the air towards the cluster of black light.

“Shadow Ball!”

Without any hesitation, Ayrin commanded the golden crystal-like shadow ball beside him to shoot forward.

Boom!

The golden shadow ball slammed into the cluster of black light. Although the cluster of black light remained, a look of great shock had emerged in the eyes of the arcane master who stood within the water snake’s mouth as his body abruptly stiffened.

Whoosh!

The moment he stiffened, an enormous shadow emerged behind him.

“This… it’s you?!” the arcane master screamed in great terror as a hideous look of fear emerged atop his face.

Bang!

As he spoke, a beam of light containing the aura of darkness struck his chest.

“Agh!” He let out a wretched cry as his upper body began to corrode.

“Just what kind of team is this?!”

An almost invisible human figure rose up from the ground.

This arcane master had carefully and silently snuck to the bottom of the rock which Ayrin and Rinloran were standing atop. He had originally planned to launch a sneak attack but stopped upon seeing the other arcane master receive grievous wounds at the hands of Ayrin’s group. In this moment of hesitation and shock, he slightly released his cover.

Bang!

At this moment, this arcane master abruptly fell forward as he felt a sharp pain run through his head as if something had hit him hard on the head, causing him to lose control of his arcane energy and completely reveal himself.

It was a short and skinny middle aged man wearing dark purple robes.

He quickly clambered back up to his feet and turned around. He couldn’t believe his eyes.

“What?!”

There was nothing behind him other than a large thicket!

“He still hasn’t discovered me… I can secretly attack him at least once more…”

Indeed, the thicket was none other than Stingham.
