Chapter 201 (1/2)

Thud!

The last of the axe-wielding Warriors finally fell He was dead before he even hit the ground Morestern heaved a long sigh of relief and reached his hand out to pull down the hood of his tattered cloak Just then, a bone cracked and the body that had been attacked by the axe of a Warrior earlier alround

”Ah, it's time to find a new body,” said Morestern

This wouldn't be a big probleh, as he had killed alot out of here, he'd just find a safe place to rest for a while then cohtly and kill Dorians Then, the underground palace would be his

This turned out to be quite out of ht

He looked around at the corpses strewn all across the ground and couldn't help but feel proud of himself He hadn't been out for hundreds of years; ould've thought that he'd still be on top of his game?

After a short rest, Morestern then walked towards the exit and was prepared to get out of the underground palace The Shadow Fortress was still active, but it wouldn't be any problem for him to cancel it now, as there wouldn't be anyone else in here to pose any threat to him

The Mana in his body was close to depleted now, so Morestern took out a bottle of fluorescent potion and sed it in one gulp It was a high-level Mana potion which was highly effective in replenishi+ng a body that was almost out of Mana back to its full capacity He then lifted his wand and directed the Mana towards the skeleton at the tip of his wand and caused a huge Mana fluctuation to appear in the passageway

Morestern was about to use the re spell in his wand to deactivate the Shadow Fortress But just as the spellcasting process reached halfway, a thought eed in Morestern's mind which made him pause

If those people ere lying in wait for ht, then wouldn't it be suicide for me to use the Level-7 spell now?

Once he thought about it, Morestern gritted his teeth and decided to sit down inside here instead of going out He knew that there were three people waiting to attack hiician as actually inside this underground palace Meanwhile, Dorians' underlings had all been eliminated, so there was only Dorians left to deal with

His body eak now, so it wouldn't be a good idea to fight Dorians The best plan for hith and not arouse Dorians' suspicion so he wouldn't come out

As he thought of this, Morestern closed his eyes and entered into a half-consciousrate

But just then, he heard footsteps coround palace

Tap… tap… tap…

The footsteps were light and regular, and they didn't sound that fast

Morestern was naturally stunned He opened his eyes i entrance The shadowy figure was about five feet and six inches tall The figure's silhouette seemed quite slim and feminine; the only pity was that her chest was too flat Morestern could now discern that she earing a long dress that was covered in shi+ny scales, while in her hand she was holding a four-foot-long sword When he looked at her face again she noticed that her skin was as smooth and fair as porcelain, and her features al charm… ah, this was indeed a true beauty!

”You are…?” Morestern asked in a daze

He wasn't one to be so easily fooled by so woh, he couldn't sense any Life Aura from her at all Neither did her body emit a Mana fluctuation In other words, she was no different fro lump of rock

The young woman's face showed no trace of emotion as she walked towards Morestern in her neither-fast-nor-slow pace Once she was about 160 feet away from him, she suddenly spoke up

”Target: Voodoo Magician Height: five feet, eight inches Body weight: 150 pounds Strengths: secret spells Threat level: two stars”

”…?” Morestern didn't catch all of what she said and just sat there dumbstruck by it all Still, he was prepared to unleash an attack theto be a threat to him

He activated a three-phase barrier, then lifted his wand and pointed it towards the young woman and chanted, ”Elemental Collapse!”

A water-like translucent sheet of Mana then shot towards the strange young woman

Ding!

The body of the young woman suddenly became blurred, and she bent backwards until her body was almost horizontal as she escaped the attacks of the Eleinable speed

She can't be that fast! Morestern thought, although he didn't seee an attack froe his wide-range attack?

”Spiderweb!” Morestern decided to slowly toss the web this tie her speed

The ht of the spell appeared, Morestern suddenly discovered that the young woman disappeared!

”Where did she go?” remarked the flummoxed Morestern

Then, he felt a cool sensation on his forehead as if soh his skull At the last ht in front of hie he saw in hiseyes of hers

How is this possible? Why didn't my protective barrier work?

Those were the last thoughts in Morestern's head He was dead immediately afterwards, and the Spiderweb that he cast collapsed with him

”Mission co woman Her voice was as pure and innocent as a lark's She then turned around and walked back into the underground palace

Tap… tap… tap…

She kept a leisurely pace as she walked, as if she was just enjoying an afternoon stroll in the park

Bdump!
