Chapter 217: A bloody explosion
“Knights of Light, kill them immediately! This person and dark creature cannot be permitted to stay in this world!” Ferguson’s expression was grim as he called out lowly.
The group of knights who’d just surrounded Han Shuo and were about to take him alive were rather surprised by this sudden change of heart. However, they only paused for a second, still intending on executing Ferguson’s orders.
Up on the cliff, Edwin didn’t waste time hesitating, and shot down towards Han Shuo with Belinda. He planned on saving Han Shuo, whatever the cost, and get to the bottom of why that dark creature was unafraid of light magic.
At the same time, Han Shuo suddenly opened his eyes and swept a cold glance around his surroundings, revealing a bizarre smile.
He chanted out a simple necromancy magic, and the little skeleton who’d stayed by his side all this time, vanished without a trace as a beam of black light broke through the skies.
“Farewell, everyone!” Han Shuo smiled after the little skeleton had disappeared.
The blood red light that had been circling around Han Shuo suddenly shot to the heavens after his words, and an enormous explosion rang out.
Increasingly loud explosions, with Han Shuo’s location as the epicenter, began to shake the ground and skies. The entire valley trembled, and the knights closest to the center were blasted to shreds, blood and flesh flying out like shrapnel.
Edwin and Belinda had been descending rapidly when they saw the sudden explosion from below, accompanied by the ear numbing explosions. Waves of evil, blood red light blasted towards their location in the sky, shocking the two of them.
Edwin slammed on the brakes, skidding as he used the levitation spell to grab Belinda. They floundered around in the sky in order to evade the light, and then cast urgent looks to the enormous change down below. Stunned stupefaction filled their face as they looked down incredulously.
When the dust had settled, an enormous hole six meters deep and ten meters wide had appeared where Han Shuo had been sitting down cross legged. A thick sense of blood slowly floated out, along with dark red clouds of air. The only things left were a pockmarked surface and the mangled bodies of some knights by the hole.
Han Shuo had vanished without a trace, and no matter how grimly those remaining searched, they couldn’t discover a single trace of him.
Taking a deep breath in, Ferguson restrained his anger and said, “Stop searching. Although I don’t know how he did it, that person’s left already!”
‘Then what should we do now?” Thunder mage Asa asked respectfully when facing Ferguson.
“I need to know everything about this person as soon as possible. As detailed as possible!” A trace of rare anxiety colored Ferguson’s tone as he looked back at Asa.
“Understood! We’ll do this immediately! Asa responded.
Female archer Maxine roughly understood why Ferguson had lost his composure thus at this time. That someone who could turn the situation around like this had appeared on the Continent meant that this might bring nightmarish effects to the Church of Light.
Therefore, as an important person in the Church of Light, Ferguson would be sure to use all resources available to kill this possibility before it even formed.
“Nice going kid, he’s got some moves alright to be able to escape so miraculously!” It was a good thing that Edwin had stopped his descent. Otherwise, he might’ve been embroiled within it as well. He was delighted to see Han Shuo’s miraculous escape and couldn’t help but compliment him.
“Master Edwin, this person is enemies with our Calamity Church. Clarendon died at his hands, and he even killed Johnny!” Belinda couldn’t help but speak up when she saw Edwin’s attitude undergo a 180 degree change.
