A gray-white outfit, and hair drenched from the raindrops falling from above.
The mysterious man stood on the walls. His eyes watched the Magicians retreating to the city in the distance. He was well aware that it was actually easier to charge out of the city than come back. There were too few that would make it back safely. Even the Super Magicians would fall in the ocean of zombies...
Against the black ocean, the light produced by magic was extremely faint. It would simply be devoured by the thick mist rising from the undead. He could already see troops of Battlemages being overrun in the ocean of undead. The brilliance of their spells grew dimmer.
The lights that suddenly went dark basically implied that the whole troop was wiped out.
On the other side of the battlefield where the Magicians were fighting the Mountain Zombie. He could barely see the clear silhouette of the enormous creature when bright lights shone in the sky. However, even under the dim sky, the mysterious man witnessed the Mountain Zombie killing a Super Magician. He was unable to tell who the person was.
The Mountain Zombie's strength had surpassed everyone's expectations. They had no hope of retreating, even if they wanted to. More than half of the troop was dead!
”Should we go and provide support?” asked a Magician who was appointed to defend the city.
The mysterious man shook his head. If they sent more men out there, it was unlikely that the city would stand until dawn.
The sky was completely dark. The brilliance produced by the spells were gradually growing weaker. They had totally lost contact with the army out there. They could only look into the darkness and count the time left until death arrived.
”I think it's Zuo Feng!” someone yelled.
The mysterious man looked down the walls and saw two Advanced Magicians trapped among the skeletons. They were extremely close to the barrier of the inner walls...
Zuo Feng was accompanied by another man in a coat. They freed themselves from the skeletons and quickly leapt into the inner city.
”How's the situation?” asked the mysterious man at once.
”We've successfully escorted them to the Dark Abyss. We can't go any further, as the wind is too strong, but I believe they have already jumped into the Dark Abyss,” said Zuo Feng.
”So that means you have no idea if they are still alive or not?” the mysterious man frowned.
”Mmm,” Zuo Feng nodded. The lack of information was the biggest reason to feel worried.
”Senior, someone who referred to himself as the chief of one of the villages is asking to see you. He mentioned something about seeing the imperial tomb,” an Imperial Magician came up in a hurry and reported.
”The imperial tomb? What does that mean? Where is he?”
”In the clock tower!”
The mysterious man glanced at Zuo Feng and Yao Nan. The three were about to make their way to the clock tower when they saw a Super Magician making his way back to the inner city.
Yao Nan was overjoyed when he saw the man. He immediately went up to him.
”Boss, where's the big guy?” Yao Nan glanced at the pale-faced Du Xiao and asked in confusion.
Du Xiao did not respond. He was wearing a grim expression.
Yao Nan knew the answer from observing Du Xiao's expression. His words simply stuck in his throat.
The enormous green beast was dead. It was the Summoned Beast that had kept Du Xiao company for many years...
”How are your injuries?” Yao Nan switched the topic.
”Not too bad, it's just that my soul is greatly affected,” responded Senior Hunter Du Xiao.
