Chapter 459

“Daughter, my daughter……” A young woman loudly wailed. She wanted to rush over, but her husband pulled her back with a firm grip. When everyone was shocked at the sudden appearance of the shadow, the shadow’s claw was already at the little girl’s neck. The slightest bit of carelessness would cause the death of the little girl.

“Scram! If you don’t leave, I’ll kill her.” The shadow lowered his voice and his hand tightened his grip on the little girl’s neck.  In an instant, the little girl’s face lost all color and she found it hard to breathe. No matter how she struggled, it was impossible for her to break free of the shadow’s claw.

“Release her. Otherwise, you’ll die without an intact corpse.” Dongfang Kexin’s expression didn’t change at all. She pointed her magic staff towards the shadow and mighty light magic power surged in the atmosphere.

Long Yi knitted his brows and looked at Mu Hanyan. They could see the surprise in the other party’s eyes. If Dongfang Kexin pressed hard like that, she would ruin the life of that little girl. Her indifference surprised him. According to what Long Yi knew, although this cousin of his had a strong possessive desire towards him, she was very kind-hearted. How was it possible that she would ignore the life of a little girl just to kill someone from the Dark Church?

“Sc… scram!” The shadow started to panic and a faint dark aura enveloped the little girl. His hand subconsciously tightened and pressed harder on the little girl’s neck. If this were to continue, the little girl would be dead without a doubt.

Even though the little girl was in the shadow’s hands, Dongfang Kexin seemed to have lost her patience. She waved the magic staff in her hand and the entire beach lit up. It was so bright that it seemed like daytime on the beach. Several milky white lights shot towards the shadow from different directions.

“Foul woman, I will make you pay the price!” Seeing as Dongfang Kexin didn’t intend to let him off, that shadow involuntarily shouted. His black robe expanded and covered the little girl as well as his entire body.

Long Yi’s expression changed. He saw that the white light shot by Dongfang Kexin had pierced through the black robe. However, the shadow and the little girl seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

Dongfang Kexin was startled and she felt a chill coming from the bottom of her heart. A thick death aura covered the sky and clattering sounds could be heard in the surroundings.

“Run! Everyone get away quickly, it’s a necromancer.” Everyone who was standing around the area started to shout. They cried out in fear as they turned

around and ran towards the city.

Skeletons and zombies crawled out from under the sand as they rushed towards Dongfang Kexin.

With a cold snort, Dongfang Kexin casted the Holy Light Illumination Magic. This soft light magic power rotated from the tip of her magic staff and lit up the surroundings. Those skeletons and zombies instantly changed into white specks of light and disappeared.

Not far away, the shadow was staring at Dongfang Kexin. Even though he had escaped just now, he didn’t manage to run far. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to flee from this woman. Sooner or later, he would be captured. The shadow looked at the little girl who was now unconscious due to fear. She was lying in his arms as he tightened his withered hand. However, hesitation flashed in his eyes and he sighed softly. Eventually, he loosened his hand and released the girl’s neck. He gently placed the little girl on the ground and stared at her with a complicated gaze.

When he finally looked up again at Dongfang Kexin who was in the distance, an angry expression appeared on his face. He was h.e.l.l-bent on resisting. Even if he couldn’t run away, he would definitely make Dongfang Kexin pay a heavy price for trying to capture him.

In seconds, Dongfang Kexin eliminated the skeletons and zombies around her. Moreover, she released a few Violent Light Magic towards the shadow. Since she was underestimating the enemy, she didn’t notice that a crack had formed in the ground behind her. A golden light flew out from that crack and directly hit Dongfang Kexin’s back.

Boom, Dongfang Kexin staggered a few steps forward. A yellow earth barrier which was triggered on touch blocked that attack for her. As for that shadow, he was sent flying as he vomited mouthfuls of blood. The few Violent Light Magic wasn’t weak at all.

“Golden Skeleton……” Long Yi softly exclaimed in surprise. Never in his wildest imagination would he have thought that there were still necromancers capable of summoning this kind of BOSS level undead creatures.

Dongfang Kexin turned around and her expression was ice-cold. She could still feel the gloomy and cold aura the golden skeleton emitted. She felt as if the huge axe which was held by the golden skeleton was still on her back and the fine hair on her body was standing erect. If it was not for that barrier which activated upon touch, she might have suffered a big loss today.

Of course, the golden skeleton wouldn’t give Dongfang Kexin time to think. The huge golden axe brought along a gloomy death aura as it slashed towards Dongfang Kexin as fast as lightning. As the BOSS level creature from the Undead World, one

one could well imagine the attack power and speed of this Golden Skeleton.

“Oh mighty Light G.o.d, please bestow light divine power to your loyal believer and bind all evil. Holy Bind!” Dongfang Kexin didn’t dodge. Instead, she quickly chanted an incantation as the axe was stopped by a powerful earth barrier.

A violent light suddenly burst out from the tip of her magic staff as it transformed into a fine and continuous glittering and translucent thin string. It spun around the golden skeleton and bound it in place. Even though this golden skeleton desperately struggled, it was unable to free itself.

The moment she casted the magic spell, Dongfang Kexin’s face became slightly pale. She could restrain this golden skeleton for a certain period of time. However, she needed to use all of her energy if she wanted to completely destroy it. She knew that she had another option. If she were to kill the master of the golden skeleton, everything would be settled once and for all.

The shadow struggled to stand up and let out a strange laugh. It was a laugh which contained his grief and loneliness. Why? Why was the world dominated by the Light Church? Why were necromancers hated by everyone? Why was undead magic cla.s.sified as an evil magic? The only difference between undead magic and other magic was the cultivation method. There was no other difference! If undead magic was used for evil, it would be considered evil. However, if someone used undead magic for good, it should be considered good… Right? However, no matter how good the reasoning was, the Light Church had suppressed all necromancers. For hundreds and thousands of years, necromancers could only hide in the dark due to the suppression from the Light Church. The necromancers had to endure the solitary life.

The shadow continued to laugh wildly. He laughed at the ignorance of the common people and laughed at the cruelty of this world. He had always kept the last wish of his master in his mind. Even on his master’s deathbed, he had hoped that undead magic would become a branch of magic on the Blue Waves Continent.

Currently, a few figures flew towards the beach from the direction of the Light Church. They had probably appeared due to the fluctuation of dead qi coming from this place.

Dongfang Kexin raised her magic staff and began to condense light magic power.
