Assassin's Chronicle - Chapter 179

Chapter 179
Anfey and his team did not have to follow those necromancers long this time . The necromancers only travelled twenty miles . They stopped at a grassland with bright sunlight over them . They looked like they were busy doing something, which made Anfey and his team feel uneasy .


Without the magic kekkai, Riska could easily see what was going on on the grassland with the Eyes of Sky . Zombies were buried underground one after another, while the necromancers were searching for something under the sunlight they hated .
"Those zombies look like battle zombies," Riska said in a low voice .
"It would be great if I knew spells of Light . " Anfey searched in his head for everything he knew about spells of Light . It had been a long time since he had used spells of Light . He did not pay too much attention to it when he first learned it . He had forgotten most of it .
"Without being baptized, no one could perform spells of Light; otherwise everyone could be a priest . " Riska laughed quietly .
"That is asking too much," Anfey said .
"Churches have the most complicated rules . Only people with a lot of patience can be priests . You must have never seen priests before . I am telling you, a lot of them act like girls, not men," Riska said .
"That is called humble and polite . " Suzanna was not too happy with Riska’s description of priests . "Are those men who only know how to yell others called men?"
"Hmm, Suzanna, I did not know you were so fond of priests," Riska said .
"I am not fond of them . They are at least better than rude guys," Suzanna said .
"Anfey is rude . " Riska grinned . Anfey was more than rude if counting what happened at their professor’s home . He pulled out his sword and killed people without even saying anything .
"Who said Anfey is rude?" Suzanna got even madder . If it had not been for the fact that necromancers were still not far from them and Riska was still in charge of Eyes of Sky, she really wanted to teach Riska a lesson .
"Stop, look at those necromancers . Why are they hiding? Are they ambushing anyone?" Anfey asked .
Suzanna and Riska stopped their argument about Anfey’s personality . They looked at the Eyes of Sky at the same time . No doubt, those necromancers hid one after another .
"What is wrong with them? Who would come here?" Riska asked with a confusing look .
"Look over there!" Anfey pointed with his finger .
A gigantic butterfly flew passed the forest in the distance and flutter in their direction . There were over twenty mages flying behind the butterfly . Anfey and his team heard yelling in the distance, but could not tell what exactly they were yelling about .


The gigantic butterfly’s wings were sky blue with white flowery designs . The butterfly looked holy . He was not moving at a fast speed . He looked like he was hurt, since he wobbled up and down in the air . The most amazing part about the butterfly was he was covered in rainbow lights . The butterfly looked like a butterfly angel to Anfey .
The butterfly flew to the grassland in a very short time and suddenly fell on the ground . He did not even have strength to wave his wings . This told everyone that he was dying .

Those mages in the sky did not land on the grass right away . Instead, they formed a circle in the air, and kept the butterfly in the center from a distance . They slowly landed on the grass .
The yelling sounded like it was getting closer to Anfey and his team . People rushed onto the grassland one after another . The one in the very front had already reached the gigantic butterfly, while others behind him were still running . There were around five or six hundred people, maybe even more .
"Anfey, look, that was the flag of Dragon Rider mercenary group," Suzanna expressed urgently but quietly .
"You are right . " Anfey saw that flag as well .
"They are with Ozzic," Riska gloated . "They are not good people . Anfey, are we helping them?"
"Ozzic is not a nice person, but he is a human . We can reason with him, or even threaten him when it is needed, but nothing would work with zombies . Either we die or we kill zombies . " Anfey slowly took out his bow from his Dimensional ring .


Mercenaries had formed a circle at a distance and slowly approached the butterfly in the formation of a circle . Anfey already could not see the butterfly from his angle . Anfey tapped Suzanna and said, "Riska, you stay here to cover us when it’s needed . " Anfey held his right hand out and a wind blade appeared and started to spin around his right hand .
In terms of personal growth, Anfey grew the fastest because he was not only smart, but liked to think and was good at finding solutions for their problems . He had down time as an assassin in the other world . He never stopped thinking since he came to this magic world .
Thinking provided Anfey the opportunity to make progress, while every step forward in turn helped him acquire new experience . He would start a brand new thinking process again from the experiences he gained . If he continued this cycle, his growth would be unbelievably amazing .
Compared with the powerful people in this world, Anfey had the advantage of having magic freestyle . His controlling skills for basic magic were a lot better than regular mages . In Christian’s eyes, wind blades were just wind blades, but Anfey did not think so .
A two-meter long gigantic arrow made by a wind blade appeared in Anfey’s hand . Anfey slowly drew the bowstring back . He used to use real arrows, but not anymore . Anfey had invented a lot of new things with the wind blades after he discovered that wind blades could be used for jumping . He did well in the experiments . This kind of arrow could be shot a lot farther than he could even see with his naked eye, but the accuracy was not guaranteed .
Intense magic surges appeared above the grassland . A sticky fog-like substance sprayed up from the grass and created a gigantic spider web in the air . The gigantic spider web covered the whole grassland . Wrinkled zombies crawled out from underground . They rushed into the crowd where blood had spilled . The necromancers showed up from everywhere as well . A necromancer in front raised his staff high . His mouth was moving . Obviously, he was chanting .
Everything happened in the blink of an eye . Suddenly, a sliver of white light appeared in the sky, which was not easily seen . Everywhere the light passed, the leaves turned to powder . The end part of that light carried a gust, blowing the grass and shaking the trees . The stomach of the necromancer in the front suddenly exploded with blood . His head and his chest flew upwards while this legs and hips slowly and sluggishly fell to the ground . His torso totally disappeared . The light hit hard on the ground with the effects of the exploding small magic array of chaos . Gravel and dirt flew everywhere . The dirt splashed on some necromancers and they screamed in pain . Zombies did not seem to feel any pain, while the necromancers still could feel the pain even when they was losing their body .
Ozzic and his people were surrounded by the spider web, which blocked their view to the outside . Almost half of the necromancers were still able to see, but they were not sure what hit their leader’s head . They stood frozen to the ground because of what they had seen .
Anfey already loaded the bow again with a giant arrow made of wind blades . He shoot it out . The white light passed in the air . A necromancer suddenly got shortened . His feet were still on the ground, but his head was gone . The blood flowed out from his neck like a human blood fountain .
Necromancers finally found where the attack was from this time . Two necromancers released bone shields and rushed towards Anfey from the left and right sides . Necromancers were scared by Anfey’s attacking ability . They even had over ten zombies help them . They could not spare any effort to deal with the mercenaries they caught .
"Suzanna, be careful . " Anfey nodded at Suzanna . He waved in the air . Another two-meter long gigantic arrow appeared in his hand .
Suzanna smiled and rushed forward as fast as a meteor . The thick combat power radiated white lights . Whenever there was a battle, Anfey subconsciously had her in the front, but Suzanna never complained about it . Some girls liked to be protected by their men, while others liked to fight alongside their men . Suzanna looked girlish, but she was one of the latter girls .
Anfey did not shoot the arrow out immediately . He did not shoot the arrow until a zombie lined up with a necromancer . What surprised Anfey was the arrow did not pierce through the zombie to hit the necromancer behind the zombie . The arrow only hit the zombie in the air . That zombie could struggled to stand up after rolling on the ground few times . Anfey was not sure what kind of wound the arrow made on the zombie . He only knew that battle power of the zombie was far better than he had estimated .
However, Anfey had endless wind blades . His magic could allow him to continue shooting for a long time . This time Anfey was not greedy . He learned, so he only targeted a necromancer . As the bowstring made a sound, the bone shield released by the necromancer had collapsed already . His body fell on the ground like a broken branch, his upper body folded over the lower body .
Another necromancer noticed that bone shields did not work against the arrows . He immediately realized he was in danger . He turned around and ran for his life .
If the bone shields released by the mages could not protect them from Anfey’s shooting, then archers were a deadly nemesis for mages . The necromancer who had already run pretty far broke into two parts, just as his leader had . Anfey killed them with one simple move by let loose his fingers on the bowstring . There was only a cloud of blood mist left in the air .
