Chapter 425 - Ambush
“Wake up. Are your preparations ready?” As the wagon charged forward wildly, Rhode half squatted at the back and observed the sky alertly while waking everyone up. At this moment, Natasha, Grendy, and Anne woke up from their slumber. After all, the Black Hound’s explosion was loud and rang clearly in their ears. Perhaps due to the cold night wind, all of them quivered and reacted instantly—that damned Necromancer was here!
“Anne, get ready to act according to plan.” Rhode stared at the pitch-black sky. The Necromancer was nowhere to be seen.Rhode was aware that he wouldn’t perish in that explosion. At this point in time, Rhode hoped he could avoid meeting face to face with a Necromancer in the Master stage.
The wagon driver wasn’t a villager of Hobbit Village; he was a mercenary sent by the Purple Lily Guild, who was good at driving a wagon. After all, this seasoned mercenary was brave, fast to react, and wouldn’t escape frantically at the sight of the enemy. The only thing that this mercenary had to do now was to lash the four strong horses with his whip and force them to charge forward.
The bumpy road, in addition to the wagon charging at lightning speed, became a torturous hell for them. Natasha and Grendy couldn’t even look out for the terrifying Necromancer as they held onto the edge of the wagon with all their might to ensure that they wouldn’t be flung out of it.
At this moment, the ground shook abruptly.
The uneven ground cracked into several chinks, spreading towards the wagon like tentacles. Then, a sharp stone pillar emerged and went straight to its target.
Facing this sudden attack, the mercenary driver displayed his fine qualities. He tugged the reins and changed the direction of the wagon forcefully to avoid the rock thorns ejected from the ground. However, this wasn’t the end, because at the same time, dozens of white bone splinters hurled from the sky.
“Anne!” Rhode commanded and the young lady stood to her feet immediately.
“Yes, Leader, leave it to Anne!” As Anne replied confidently, the shape of her shield transformed. However, this time, there was an additional layer of green radiance around it—the indication of the coalescing wind element.
Darke was getting sick and tired of this human who tried to ambush him numerous times. After forcing him away with the shock wave, the Necromancer turned around and pointed his finger at Rhode. As Darke chanted a curse, absolute negative energy began coalescing on his finger, ready to snatch Rhode’s life away.
However, the black-haired young man returned the favor with his right hand. A loud screech sounded and a large bird glowing in white radiance emerged before Darke, flapping its wings and blocking his target.
The Necromancer hesitated at the sight of this large bird. He remembered clearly that although the Black Hound’s explosion wasn’t able to kill him, he was still hurt by it. Now that this young man had summoned another huge bird… What if this bird had the same ability? Besides, this bird was unlike that hound because Darke could sense the faint holy energy from it.
This was not an easy task for a Necromancer.
This split second hesitation obstructed Darke from attacking and the Spirit Bird didn’t let this chance off. The Spirit Bird flapped its wings and flew towards the Necromancer!
A powerful whirlwind packed with bolts of lightning swept across!
