Assassin's Chronicle - Chapter 454

Chapter 454: I Hate Magic

Black fog swallowed the bone cage . The man grinned and raised his wand . Suddenly, he realized that something was approaching him . He had been alive for hundreds of years and had more experienced than most people in the world . As soon as he detected it, he summoned two bone shields around himself . A few moments later, Anfey appeared behind him and swung his fist at the man .

Anfey crashed through the bone shield and his punch landed on the man’s shoulder . The man grunted and his figure tumbled in the air .

Both of them were smart men, and even in a fight they could still calmly analyze the situation . The man was shocked by Anfey’s magic and the fact that he was able to teleport to him without any magic surges . Anfey was shocked by how strong the necromancer was . Even though he wasn’t using his full strength and the man had summoned a bone shield, Anfey was still confident that he was strong enough to take out a mage . He knew that he had not caused as much damage to the man as he wanted . This man was a very dangerous opponent, perhaps the most dangerous he had faced so far .

To Anfey, every fight was a fight to death . He knew that this man had very rare capabilities . He lunged at the man .

Anfey’s figure disappeared as he got closer to the necromancer and reappeared right before him a few moments later . He swung his fist at the necromancer’s face .

The necromancer was shocked by this and stopped, but he only stopped for a split second . By the time Anfey appeared before him, he already had a magic scroll in his hands . As Anfey swung his fist at him, the necromancer had already used the scroll .

Anfey’s fist smashed into a zombie as the necromancer appeared among the zombies below . The ground around the man had turned a dark color, and hoards of skeletons were climbing out of the ground . Some of the skeletons surged towards the city while others stayed close to the necromancer .

Anfey turned and lunged at the man again . He wanted to use antimagic terra to stop the man from using magic, but he was afraid that the man had some hidden power he did not know of . If Anfey could not find a quick way to kill this necromancer and he escaped, than the antimagic terra would be wasted . He needed to know what the man was capable of, but he couldn’t even get close to him .

The necromancer raised his hand again . The skeletons he summoned were strange . They were gleaming white, and some were even holding bows . The skeletons, under the necromancer’s command, raised their bows and sent hundreds of arrows toward Anfey .

Anfey stopped and summoned a large fire shield . The shield stopped most of the arrows, but there were too many arrows and the shield began disintegrating slowly .

Anfey rose higher into the air and summoned another shield . Then he moved again and summoned one more .

The skeletons had reached the city . The necromancer closed his eyes, sensing the changes in the city, deciding whether he should leave now .

Anfey waved his hand and summoned a large, golden fire shield .

The necromancer looked at Anfey and shook his head, as if saying now was not the time for the final fight .

Anfey raised his hands . The elements around him began expanding slowly, until his figure disappeared and the only things visible were the lightning, fire balls, and rocks, clashing each other in midair .

The necromancer frowned . He summoned a magic shield that also included the skeletons around him . The best thing to do now was to attack Anfey, but the necromancer knew better than to take unnecessary risks . The skeletons were still sending arrows at Anfey, but none of the arrows could pierce through the cloud of elements around him .

Anfey clenched his fists and pushed the elements outward . A wave of mind magic swept across the battlefield .

The skeletons and zombies stopped in their tracks because they were connected to necromancers through a mental link . Anfey’s mind magic had broken all the links . However, the mercenaries did not fare well, either . The zombies and skeletons stopped, but so did the mercenaries .

The magic shields the necromancer summoned disappeared and the elements crashed into the ground . The cloud of elements broke the skeletons, sending broken pieces of bones flying . The zombies were turned to bloody pulp .

The necromancer reappeared through the cloud of elements . He was wounded and his robe was tattered, but he appeared as calm as ever, as if he was not the one that was wounded . Another magic scroll appeared in his head and magic surged around him .

Anfey’s hands shook . He could tell his life power was flowing out of him . He could see that his hands were aging visibly . Within a few seconds, his smooth skin was covered with wrinkles .

The aging spell was a powerful spell . The necromancer could still use magic by himself, and there was no need to waste a scroll, but there was no time . He knew he had to take out his opponent fast .

Two large bone wings appeared behind the man’s back and a long bone lance appeared in his hand . The necromancer didn’t want to use his own magic and did not have time to waste . It should be easier to get close to people afflicted with an aging spell than to use magic to kill them .

Just then, white light suddenly appeared around Anfey and his figure disappeared .

"It can’t be," the necromancer muttered . He did not expect a priest to be here .

Suzanna appeared in the distance and was heading towards them . The necromancer knew he was running out of time . He did not know if the aging spell’s effects were cancelled, but he had to take the risk .

Anfey’s figure appeared through the light and he dove down towards the necromancer . The necromancer raised his hand and threw the bone lance towards Anfey . This way, he could tell Anfey’s state and keep the distance between them .

Anfey swung his right arm and knocked the lance out of his way, sending it flying in another direction .

The necromancer narrowed his eyes . He was a necromancer, he had hundreds of years to live . He was patient and he did not mind waiting . He was never one for taking risks .

The necromancer summoned another scroll and disappeared from the field .

Anfey landed where the man had been standing . He stumbled and took a deep breath . The cleansing only temporarily stopped the loss of his life power, but it couldn’t turn him back . If the necromancer did not hesitate, Anfey would not have risked coming towards him .

"Anfey!’ Suzanna called as she flew towards him . She could not see him and was worried .

Anfey spat on the ground and shook his head . "I hate magic," he muttered .
