Chapter 427 Bitter Suppor (1/2)

Although Gillian's attack wasn't substantial in damaging Darke, it left him feeling fretful. The Necromancer had intentions of killing Rhode after sensing his exhaustion but he didn't expect that Gillian's reaction would be as quick as his. Gillian swiftly answered as soon as she saw Rhode half-kneeling on the ground and continuously applied pressure on Darke, leaving him fully occupied. The fireballs and beams of flames fluttered in the night sky, weaving into a huge net to firmly block the Necromancer.

However, Darke didn't back off. Instead, he was preparing his killer move as he dodged Gillian's attack. From his understanding of spells, such aggressive fire elemental attacks wouldn't last and they wouldn't stay this extravagant for long!

30 seconds passed.

Darke sensed that the fireballs were getting weaker and the encirclement of the beams of flames wasn't as dense as before. He prepared himself swiftly while staring at the black-haired young man kneeling on the same spot, waiting for the opportune moment to mercilessly reap the young man's life.

At this moment, strong winds blew out of nowhere.

As Darke turned around, Anne emerged behind the fireball and the young lady was shrouded in the radiance of the wind element. Then, she lifted her shield and darted towards the Necromancer!

This was all in Gillian's plan. Indeed, in the eye of the Necromancer, the flames surrounding himself were getting thinner and weaker. However, he didn't know that Gillian was holding back on purpose. Moreover, Gillian relied on the columns of flames to block the Necromancer's field of vision in order to prevent him from discovering Anne.

With the help of the wind element, Anne leaped lightly and was midair instantly. Furthermore, the young lady could even hover and fly momentarily. Without a doubt, Anne wasn't able to fully grasp her powers yet. If she could control her powers, she would have no problems flying in the air.

Of course, that should be left for later.

Using Gillian's fireball barrage as cover and with Darke's mind focused on killing Rhode, Darke didn't detect Anne instantly. When Darke was finally aware of her presence, the young lady had arrived by Rhode's side!

”Heyah!” Anne had no hesitation facing this oddly terrifying Necromancer. She raised her shield and charged towards the Necromancer. A Shield Warrior's battle techniques weren't complicated as they mainly charged around violently. Anne was like a boulder, smashing into the Necromancer before her. ”Go to hell!”

Darke knew he was plotted against as he faced the incoming young lady. However, this angered the Necromancer even further as he felt he was treated as an idiot. Previously, that Swordsman tried to ambush me and now her their turn, eh? Do they really think they can successfully ambush a Necromancer?

Darke no longer hesitated. He straightened his right arm and the Death Rays that were coalesced on his fingers, ready to take away Rhode's life, launched towards Anne instead.

An ice-cold sensation hit Anne in the face, sending chills down her bones.

Even though Anne was surrounded by scorching flames, the waves of chilly sensation sent chills down her spine. However, to Darke's surprise, Anne revealed a mischievous smile as she twisted the handle of the shield to the right!

Kacha. The steel shield transformed instantly. From top-down, the middle of the shield split in two and expanded outwards. Right inside the center, a pitch-black, thin shield pushed out and filled the empty void.

The Death Rays struck the pitch-black shield in the middle.

Darke revealed a merciless smile. Unlike the sudden cast of attacks from before, he had channeled his energy properly this time. He could even imagine how the deep darkness from the Death Rays would shroud the young lady's body instantly, stripping her of her life and causing her to collapse to the ground like a tattered rag.

But the next moment froze him to the spot.

The Death Rays struck Anne's shield and that incomparably fragile shield shattered to bits in a split second. However, Anne didn't struggle as the Necromancer had expected. Instead, the young lady's body trembled slightly. She folded the shield in her hands and charged towards the Necromancer suddenly!
