Chapter 201
Chapter 201 Searching the Battlefield
In the bloody battles of the last few months, three adepts had fallen to the sneak attacks of radiant knights.
This was already a fairly sizeable loss for the Sarubo Clan.
After all, the bottom line for the Sarubo Clan was set at eight adept losses in this planar invasion. If the numbers of adept casualties exceeded a certain number in this plane, it would cause a drastic effect to the Sarubo Clan’s ranking within the Zhentarim Association.
If the Sarubo Clan reassigned adepts from their subordinate lesser planes to fill in the vacancies of the clan headquarters, it would cause an immense impact to the stability of their rule over their two subordinate planes.
Thus, faced with the frequent assaults of the radiant knights, the only Second Grade Adept of the base, Sir Fügen, had no choice but to personally step onto the battlefield and teach these ‘magic-infused knights’ a bloody lesson!
This was a moonless night!
The adepts were exceptionally active tonight. Besides the ten adepts who had always been fighting on the frontlines, Sir Fügen brought five more adepts with him to join the battle.
Here, the radiant knight had been frozen in place by Adept Fügen, with no means of moving even a single step, and forced to passively endure and defend against Fügen’s attacks. This was evident from the angle of attack and contact of the spells!
Radiant Knights did indeed have very high magic resistance. Even so, they would not be able to resist an endless stream of spells.
Once the knight exhausted the magic crystals within his runic arrays, Fügen, with his plentiful combat experience, would never give him the chance to swap out the crystals!
Greem stopped at the center of the battlefield. There was an ice pillar half a meter tall here. The upper half had cracked and shattered, but the lower half was still hard as steel, letting out a dark blue gleam.
This was where the radiant knight had been defeated and lost!
Greem sensed the atmosphere once more, now that he was where the battle had happened. There were still some of Adept Fügen’s personal elementium signature left in the ice pillar. However, besides this, Greem felt like there was something else.
Mm, this was worth bringing back for research!
Now that he had made his decision, Greem took out his Fire Lord’s Scepter and summoned the Fire Deity. Then he used a summoning core to summon a rock serpent.
Once the Fire Deity appeared, it started to chaotically blast flames all over the place to quickly destroy any markings left on the battlefield. Meanwhile, the gigantic rock serpent opened its large mouth and devoured the ice pillar, along with the dirt frozen underneath it, before vanishing into the ground.
After a quick survey of the battlefield, and having made sure nothing was left, Greem finally turned to leave.
With the help of the night winds, the raging forest fire burned everything left to ashes. When the scene had been reduced to nothing but scorched earth, the dirt near the edge of the earth started to break open. Tens of thousands of black beetles surged from underneath, forming into the silhouette of Evil Bugs Acteon.
“Dammit, that bastard was here already!”
Acteon cursed once more when he saw the ravaged earth, the billowing black smoke, and the remaining fires before him.
Then he turned to look at the black skies around him. He couldn’t be sure if the bastard had left any odd eyes or ears around here.
After lowering his voice and cursing a couple more times, Acteon finally turned into a black smoke again, drilling into the ground and disappearing!
