Chapter 317: Complete Annihilation
“What-What is it?!” Fire grand magus Marceau exclaimed when she was shocked by the sudden appearance of the fire elite zombie.
After the big-headed fire elite zombie swallowed the flames, he grinned at Marceau, then opened his mouth and spat them all back out. The fire snakes were now no longer under Marceau’s control, and actually churned back over to attack the adventurers.
The low level undead creatures in the surroundings all instinctively retreated in the face of the intense heat. Jumping flames in the shape of lotus flower petals seem to burn continuously on the fire elite zombie’s frame. His deep red armor shot out red light everywhere. When skeletal warriors were hit by even a little spark from it, they were immediately destroyed and turned into dust.
The fire snakes that the fire elite zombie spat out was even more powerful. Not only did it force the adventurers to continuously duck and weave, even the undead creatures needed to retreat. Out of them, the evil knights and hatred knights also sensed a threat, causing them to quickly leave retreat from the incineration of the flames.
“Idiot, you can’t even tell our people apart from enemies!” Han Shuo scolded quietly, then gave another order to the earth elite zombie and wood elite zombie.
The earth trembled and rumbled beneath three swordsmen, with sharp earthen spikes shooting out again. The large tree branches danced crazily in the distance, while the branches became life-reaping arrows that shot towards the team of adventurers.
The fire elite zombie charged towards the three swordsmen like an enormous fire brand, creating waves of intense flames in front of them. The swordsmen’s bodies quickly started burning when even a spark stuck to their bodies.
The evil knight held a large bone spike in its hand and flung it towards the sky. The priest and mages were busy with dealing with the attacks from the branches and thus were unable to avoid the path of the evil knight’s huge bone spike. Han Shuo also released the Demonslayer Edge as arrows filled the sky.
Pitiful howls suddenly sounded through the sky, then instantly stopped. The lives of all of the adventurers, except Marceau’s, had been ended in a few breaths.
It was unknown whether it was due to the lack of Marceau’s mental power or the lack of stored magic within the magic scroll, that spatial edge spell had only released thirty percent of its true power. If the complete power had been released, there would have been at least more than twenty flashes of light, and the number might even increase according to the caster’s mental power strength.
If it was casted by a powerful sacred space magus, pretty much all of the living creatures and plants in a small city would be torn to shreds by the spell, as it had a terrifyingly wide area of effect.
As Han Shuo held the space ring that Marceau left behind after her death, he wondered about the method of opening it as he flew casually towards the Cemetery of Death.
During this process, Han Shuo used his remaining yin demon to find that a team of roughly five thousand was stationed outside the Dark Forest. Han Shuo surveyed this team of five thousand and realized out that they were actually a proper troop of knights that had come from the Brut Merchant Alliance. Some of the tents were blocked by magical boundaries as they faintly radiated a powerful aura.
Han Shuo frowned slightly. After surveying them for a while, he thought of Marceau and those adventurers that died in his hand, and suddenly felt that they were with these people.
Marceau was someone of the Brut Merchant Alliance. The three swordsman within the adventures had the same sword and shield pattern on their left shoulder as these knights who were resting. It meant that they must have come from this troop.
The Brut Merchant Alliance was a distance from the Dark Forest. After passing through the Dark Forest, they would arrive directly at Zajoski City on the southwest of the Lancelot Empire. The knights had good equipment, fine warhorses, and some even more powerful experts. It was an unknown why they appeared in the Dark Forest.
After looking around for a bit, Han Shuo was silently shocked by this troop. He noticed that their power was even a bit stronger than how they’d first appeared. The magical pulses from the central tent were intense, with some strange sounds ringing out faintly from it. After Han Shuo released his consciousness, he kept on feeling that there was something amiss inside. After thinking about it, he decided to have a look at what these people planned to do.
