Chapter 271: What a Waste
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"You look busy." The mage nad Entos looked up and down at Annunciata. The corners of his mouth curled up in an unpleasant smile. At least, it did not look pleasant to Annunciata. Entos said, "I hope I am not bringing any inconvenience."
Annunciata posed in a weird position. She had half of her body turned. Her left hand rested strangely on a crystal ball. She dared not to get her hand away from it. She raised a scepter in her right hand, which made her look pretty powerful. However, when a person’s power had dropped a certain level, others could easily notice the telepathy fibers on the scepter could not reach far.
"What do you think?" Annunciata snorted. Cold and ruthless light radiated from the sunken eye sockets. If Entos wanted to talk bullsh*t, she would love to do the sa thing. She had no power left to release magic right now, not even small terror magic. Her best chance was to drag this conversation out until her assistants ca back to help her.
If Annunciata knew what kind of a person Entos was, she would not have been so careless. In the Country of rcenaries, there might be people who never heard the na Entos, but his nickna, "Master Sarcasm," was well-known. Almost everyone could tell a few stories about him. Of course, it was not a good nickna. This notorious nickna did show how Entos did things. Even the commander of Glory rcenary group, the most powerful master swordsman, Anthony, commander of Tiger of Tawau rcenary group, Mourtta, and popular Hotchbini were cautious when they had to deal with him. Many people wondered why the gentleman, archmage Saul, with such a great reputation would take him as his student.
"Your companions will co soon." Entos looked looked off in the distance deep in thought.
"If you leave now, you still have a chance to live," Annunciata said coldly. This middle-aged mage did not wear any badge, but she could sense that he was pretty powerful, almost as good as top powers. She did not want to have any conflict at this mont, so she decided to sink his morale and determination.
"Thank you for reminding ." Entos gave Annunciata another unpleasant smile. "Before I leave, I would like to test a magic spell."
"Test a magic spell?" Annunciata was shocked for a second.
The next mont, a magic scroll appeared in Entos’s hand, which made Annunciata extrely nervous. She did not know what kind of magic scroll it was, but thought it must have been a forbidden magic scroll, judging by the intensity of the magic surges.
"Forbidden magic?" Annunciata tried to make herself sound like she was not disturbed by it. "Do you think you will have the chance to leave if you release the forbidden magic?" Forbidden magic took a lot out of a mage. Even archmages would lose fighting ability for a while when they released magic scrolls. The length of ti depended on the power of the magic scroll. The more powerful the scroll was, the longer it would take to rejuvenate.
"Are you telling you care about ? I appreciate it." Entos looked flattered, but he posed to toss the scroll out of his right hand.
Annunciata lost her balance for a second. She suddenly opened her mouth wide. An invisible soundwave shot out from her mouth. The gravel and grass turned into powder in an instant. Soundwave magic was magic that could attack a large area. However, the attacking area was not far enough and took too much from the mage, so it was never a mage’s favorite. Right now Annunciata had no other options. Giving up control of magic would co back to bite her.
If she let Entos release the magic scroll first, the defensive magic array she set up would not be able to counter the attack from the magic scroll. If she had no other option, she would rather attack first before Entos had the chance to attack her. A long ti ago, she learned that she had to try very hard to survive. She never thought anyone would just offer her help.
Entos had already tossed the magic scroll out, but grabbed it back imdiately. A water screen appeared in front of him. This screen got out of shape by the soundwave attacks, but did not crash. It barely held together against Annunciata’s attacks.
A light gold-colored sword radiance shone about 50 yards behind Annunciata. It only flashed before it travelled 50 yards. As the sword radiance travelled, all the barricades turned into tiny bits of dust. The last defensive magic array was crushed like nothing. In the end, the sword radiance thrust into Annunciata’s heart with a speed faster than lightning.
If this had happened before, Annunciata’s reaction ti would never have been this slow. She had been trying to have control of magic so she could only focus on the middle-aged mage in front of her. She had used her last power to release Soundwave magic. When Annunciata realized the attack, the sword radiance had pierced her body. With a loud sound, Annunciata’s body was crushed by the sword radiance. Her broken limbs were tossed far by the sword radiance. Her skinny head was tossed high as well. Her head did not land on the ground until that swordsman put his sword back into the sheath. The bloody cheeks on her head kept moving. It looked like she was still blaming soone.
"What a waste! So sinful!" Entos took away the water screen and carefully put the magic scroll back into his Dinsional ring.
"I did not want to beat her this way." The swordsman looked at Annunciata’s head with his own head shaking.
"You are too upright," Entos said with respect. "I actually did not want to use this thod either."
"Isn’t this your idea?" the swordsman asked.
"I had no other options since we do not really know about necromancers’ magic. I could not just take risks," Entos said. He held his chest as he coughed.
"I told you not to co; not to co out before you feel better," the swordsman said.
"I left the Country of rcenaries to help my professor on the war field, but then I layed on a bed in the military camp feeling like sh*t. I cannot do nothing. If you do not allow to co out and exercise, I am going to go crazy." Entos smiled bitterly.
"Saul and I appreciate your efforts," the swordsman said, nodding. He frowned and looked a little angry. "Old Philip could not tell the difference between business and personal affairs. He even sent people out to ambush you. It is too much."
"The king told this has nothing to do with Philip. A gangster did it to ," Entos said peacefully.
"Do you believe that?" That swordsman smiled.
"I do for right now. In the future...who will know what is going to happen in the future." Entos’s face did not change at all. As "Master Sarcasm," he could not bear that he was set up by others. He did not care about his reputation. He tried his best to recruit good people for his ho country. So of those people volunteered to go back to his ho country with him, but they all died in the ambush. Entos himself was seriously hurt. He could not forgive it, not even when Yolanthe asked him to.
"You!" The swordsman sighed. "You look a lot like Anfey." Anfey hid a lot of his talents when he had just left that isolated island. However, no matter how strategic and skillful he was, there were many things that exposed who he really was, especially when he beca famous. He disguised himself as a dumb kid, but that disguise was gone because how could a foolish kid accomplished so many things.
"Master Ernest, you have told about it so many tis," Entos said. "This is why I insisted on coming. I am curious about Anfey."
"You will see him soon." Ernest turned to look at the phantom dragon in the distance. He frowned, "Why did Saul not start his attacks yet?"
Annunciata had been killed. That giant suddenly turned into a statue. Puppets never thought for themselves. They totally listened to their masters. If the puppets were able to survive for a while, the accumulated anger in the killing would turn them into crazy killing machines. The giant had just co to life, so there was not much in him yet. He had lost his life after Annunciata died.
A phantom dragon was different than flesh puppets. Even if they turned into white bones, the pride they had as dragons would not allow them to work for others. To better control phantom dragons, necromancers had sealed their mories. Right now this phantom dragon regained his freedom. The mories ca back, which interfered with the phantom’s actions. The dragon even fell from the sky. After being hit several tis by Suzanna and getting so bones hit off, the dragon finally woke up from the situation and regained his control to fly back to the sky.
It was not completely a good thing for the phantom dragon to recover its mory. The dragon was under the control of necromancers and did whatever necromancers asked it to do. Now the dragon did not know what to do after recovering its mory. It wanted to leave but did not want to let that swordswoman with the holy spirit go. It wanted to attack her, but was afraid itself of getting hurt. In the end, it just kept hovering in the sky. It might not have the ability to think with that huge bone structure. It might even take a full day for it to make a decision.
Anfey beca suspicious and looked around. The necromancers who kept shooting out bone spears suddenly disappeared at the sa ti. The dark knight panicked on the grass as well. Bruzuryano took the opportunity to start his fierce attacks. The body of the silver bear was so huge that it looked like a tiger fighting with a dog. It was ok if the tiger got bitten by a dog, even several bites. It would not cause fatal damage. If the tiger had the chance to attack the dog, there was no hope the dog would survive.
As that giant slowed down, Bruzuryano imdiately noticed a change in the skeleton. He did not care about the dark knights around him and directly ran at that gigantic skeleton. He hit away the annoying indigo crescent blade with his paw. The next strike got the skeleton’s chest. He was shocked by how hard that gigantic skeleton was. That gigantic skeleton was only knocked down, but the ribs did not break at all. Bruzuryano did not want the skeleton to stand back up. He did not wait for the skeleton to take another breath. In the blink of an eye, Bruzuryano rushed at the skeleton again. The silver bear stood up on his hind legs and waved his humongous paws like crazy. The bear constantly hit the gigantic skeleton. Even if the skeleton was made out of steel, it would not be able to take such hits. That gigantic skeleton unconsciously struggled a bit. The body of the skeleton was hit into two sections. The head was fine. The bottom seed fine as well. The chest bones, ribs and backbones all shattered into smaller pieces.
