Chapter 156: Soul Erosion
“I’ve only just set a foot inside the door and have many questions to ask you!” Han Shuo himself possessed many tricks and had a dark archmage by his side. They wouldn’t come off worse at all with two against one. Therefore, Han Shuo wasn’t nervous at all when he saw the necromancer float over.
His figure was shapeless and unpredictable, like a ghost’s, and the necromancer continuously changed direction. Just when he was ten or so meters away from the two, the archmage necromancer suddenly waved his bone staff and chanted an incantation.
An evil knight, covered in black armor and dark colored skin that measured over three meters tall appeared, riding a howling beast that was stronger than a rhino and covered with brown scales. It raised a spiked club, that was a thick as a human body, as it spurred on the howling beast beneath it, charging viciously towards Han Shuo and Emily.
The evil knight was a dark creature that was one level higher than a hate warrior. Only archmage level necromancers could summon them. They came from the dark abyss of the other dimension. Their black armor held an absolute advantage in deflecting physical attacks. Combined with the charging force of the howling beast beneath them, they were everyone’s worst nightmare.
The evil knight immediately charged towards Han Shuo and Emily when it appeared, raising its club high and bringing it down like a metal pillar.
Emily immediately backed up when she saw the evil knight and murmured a dark spell. The Grim Reaper’s blade from earlier had yet to vanish, and it swung towards the evil knight with Emily’s manipulations.
After summoning the evil knight, the necromancer didn’t take another step forward, but rather quickly dodged to the side, summoning a team of gargoyles to attack Han Shuo and shooting bone spears every which way.
Compared to fighting students in the Academy, the necromancer was obviously much more experienced and had a very fine grasp on the timing of battling. He’d approached the two in an unpredictable manner just now in order to summon the evil knight, and took advantage of the short distance to charge and deny the two any chance to defend.
The Demonslayer Edge followed Han Shuo’s thoughts and whirled out in flight again, infused with the flaming red spellfire, shooting towards the gargoyles making their way over. Han Shuo himself chanted a “Bone Shield” spell and blocked towards the front, defending against the bone spears.
Even the little skeleton, that had just received Han Shuo’s order to attack the necromancer, suddenly stood there blankly, looking around as he wielded his bone dagger, as if waiting for Han Shuo to give him an order.
“Haha, this is a necromancy magic called ‘Soul Erosion’ that I’ve recently grasped. I can take over a person’s soul through necromancy magic and gain all his secrets after I erode his soul. I’m connected to the target throughout this process, and my target will be unable to escape even if I suddenly die. Haha!” The necromancer started explaining proudly to Emily when he saw that his power through the bone staff had invaded Han Shuo’s brain.
Emily was quite frantic right now as she looked at Han Shuo, not knowing whether to fight this necromancer or not.
As an archmage, Emily could clearly sense the enormous even mental strength surging into Han Shuo’s body through the white bone staff over his head. She didn’t dare not believe the necromancer’s words.
Just as Emily was utterly frantic and didn’t know what to do, the originally slack jawed Han Shuo suddenly cried out harshly as red and purple spellfire surged up his arms. His entire being seemed to be enveloped in purple, red flame as his face appeared quite contorted, his entire body full of a frightening aura.
At the same time, the previously cocky necromancer suddenly had all color drained from his face as he cried out with extreme fear, “No, don’t!”
