Chapter 424 Battle (2/2)

However, Darke's astonishment didn't last for long because he quickly realized that the ball of flames wasn't actually a fireball. Instead, there was a mighty Black Hound within the flames widening its mouth and howling towards him.

A summoned spirit?

Darke calmed himself down as he knew what this young man was capable of. There was plenty of magical equipment capable of summoning spirits, which was why Darke wasn't too mindful of the Black Hound. After seeing through his opponent, the Necromancer made a definite decision. He swung his hands and in the blink of an eye, four white bone splinters whizzed passed him and pierced into the Black Hound's body. The Black Hound had no chance of defending as it stretched out its claws in vain. The instant the splinters punctured its body, it wailed painfully and collapsed to the ground.

Too easy.

Darke disregarded the ball of flames that collapsed to the ground, swung his arms, and prepared his next spell immediately. Then, cold, deadly dark energy coalesced in his palms, aiming towards the figure before him.

At this moment, Darke's eyes glinted.

Rhode landed on his feet lightly and lifted his head to the huge explosion of flames projected in the dark night sky. The halo of the explosion seemed to be a miniature sun, rendering the entire ground red. Meanwhile, the Necromancer was nowhere to be seen after being devoured by it.

However, Rhode wasn't excited because he knew that the explosion of the Black Hound wasn't enough to finish off a Necromancer in the Master stage. Rhode leaped onto the wagon and soon, the wagon once again darted forward.

”That damn bast*rd!” As expected, Darke rushed out of the inferno of flames. The Necromancer's robe was filled with specks of flames and smoke. It was thanks to his powerful magical resistance that he was able to resist the sudden explosion of the Black Hound. However, even so, this explosion disrupted Darke's preparation of spells and it almost brought along a reverse effect to himself.

This naturally wasn't a good thing for Darke because he had never expected his enemy to deal with him using such a method. However, as he darted out from the ring of flames, the Necromancer's eyes glinted as he finally realized the situation that his enemies were in.

If they were the ones who defeated Vulture, they shouldn't be that afraid of taking on Darke. As a matter of fact, when Darke was engulfed by the sudden explosion, he was secretly afraid that his enemy would seize this chance to strike. However, not only did Rhode not attack, but he also used this opportunity to flee. This Necromancer came to a sudden realization.

It seems like the battle they had with Vulture drained their energy. If these people had the strength, it would be their best bet to defeat me here as quickly as possible. After all, everyone knows what the best choice is: to escape or to travel without any concerns? Since these people chose to escape, it proves that they are definitely out of steam! He must have chosen to restrain his strength in order to escape!

Darke caught sight of the darting black figure and revealed a sinister smile.

Don't think that you can escape so easily.
