Chapter 78
Beautiful, beautifully done! Vampires truly deserved to be known as the nobles of the dark night! They could even kill in such a graceful and elegant manner, making it full of artistic flair. Magnificent!
Greem couldn’t help but mutter some praise under his breath. He then refocused his mind and threw out the Flaming Spear in his hand. This time, his target was an apprentice who had five skulls hovering around his body!
The Flaming Spear that suddenly exploded destroyed two skulls of the target. It also managed to trigger the apprentice’s anger. He kept waving his pitch-black staff at Greem, throwing curse spells one after the other at Greem. These spells were all invisible to the naked eye.
After receiving the order from Greem, the Hunter took his position and blocked off all the curse spells. With the Hunter taking care of this, Greem focused his mind and kept launching attacks at the apprentice who appeared to be a necromancer.
All kind of curse spells were launched. There was Scavenger Bugs, Voodoo Skulls, Bone Spears, and even Unnerving Gazes. The magic spells this necromancer apprentice demonstrated had really widened Greem’s horizons. If not because of the fact that he had activated his Elementium Vision, he knew he wouldn’t be able to match this apprentice. He wouldn’t be able to even if he was given nine lives.
Meanwhile, the only threat he brought to his enemy was his Flaming Spear and the Hunter’s Dirt Spear. The lack of long-range magic spells had made Greem realize something. Maybe he should find some time to develop a Golem which specialized in long-range attacks.
Even though Greem’s overall strength was insufficient to break through the necromancer apprentice’s defense, the team members behind Greem could do that. After establishing an advantageous position in this battle, the reckless bombardment of magic spells had brought about tremendous pressure to those Fallen Apprentices.
A few of these Fallen Apprentices started to slowly fall back, as they found it hard to withstand the massive suppressive force.
“No… please don’t kill me, we can talk…”
Aaron’s face was covered with panic. He watched how the Flaming Spear shot towards him and nailed one of his defensive skulls into the wall. It exploded violently and flooded him with dazzling flame and scorching heat.
Three seconds later, Aaron staggered out from the sea of flames. He looked extremely miserable right now! The thin skin and flesh of his were burned by the flame and charred. Half of his remaining magical items were destroyed, and the white crystal socketed on top of his staff had shattered, releasing all the souls trapped by the Soul Spell.
“Hmph. Kid, do you really think you can kill me like this? We’re not finished today. Wait until the next time we meet again, I’ll…” While cursing furiously, Aaron used his charred hand to slowly start digging into the ground. His pinkie started to emanate with a white glow.
It was the glow of an Escaping Spell!
This magic spell, which he had hidden inside of his pinkie, might have been his last life-saving trick.
In two more seconds, he would be able to escape from this place. A ray of hope suddenly burst out from Aaron’s bleary eyes. But right at this moment, he suddenly felt the rock wall beside him move.
When he turned around in astonishment, he was horrified to discover a pair of huge eyes gazing coldly at him. It had a huge triangle shape snake-like head, a wide, ferocious mouth, crisscrossing fangs, and a tongue that kept darting out. All of these were entirely made up of rock! Cold hard rock!
When he finally realized this, the giant snake had opened its mouth and devoured him in one gulp.
After a long time, peace finally returned to this cavern.
Greem quietly stood at a corner of the cavern. He didn’t ride on the Demon Alligator. Just now, he had used the Demon Alligator Hunter to lure most of the enemy’s attack. While this was happening, he took the opportunity to break through the enemy’s defense with a sneak attack. However, the one who finished the enemy was his Giant Rock Snake, who made its first debut.
A light vibration came from the dark. The Demon Alligator Hunter came to him with its body charred black. Half of the Hunter’s body was melted down by the enemy’s attack. On the other side, the giant Rock Snake crawled on the rock wall and crawled towards him. It opened its mouth and spat out a broken body.
Haha! He had pocketed the head of an Advanced Fallen Apprentice!
But the corpse of a necromancer was also very frightening. Therefore, Greem didn’t do it himself. He waited until the Hunter fixed itself, before letting it search the enemy’s body for any possible loot. After that, he let Demon Alligator swallow the dead body into its stomach, before swaggering back to the previous battlefield.
Some of his teammates had returned. Only a few of them had actually come back with fruitful results. Most of them just returned empty-handed.
What to do? The environment of the Underground World was perfect for fleeing. All they needed to do was cause a collapse in a random place. This was enough to cause the pursuer to fail. Also, all Fallen Apprentices were experts in staying alive. Thus, although it was easy to defeat them, it was far tougher to kill them.
The Pseudo-Adept and Kevin had failed to capture the enemy’s Pseudo-Adept. However, the other Pseudo-Adept had managed to bring back an enemy’s head. All the remaining Advanced Apprentices harvested nothing. Therefore, when Greem’s Demon Alligator spat out an enemy’s corpse, everybody couldn’t help but look at him with different eyes.
This was different from the battle in their training camp. Although Greem utilized an opportunity where everybody was unfamiliar with his abilities to ‘luckily’ win two battles, this didn’t mean that he was really strong. But the appearance of this Fallen Advanced Apprentice’s corpse had caused the way these guys looked at him to completely change.
This… this meant that he possessed enough strength to kill an Advanced Apprentice! This was a trait that everybody valued the most!
