City of Desire Novel Chapter 893: Mardan

Necromancer Mardan

Interesting!

I was going to attack him imdiately, but the clash of generals stopped .

I thought she would dominate him from the first attack, but it seed like we had underestimated him. He is not as weak as I had thought.

Vaessa might not be my match, but she is powerful, and even with Mountainfall, this man is still fighting her.

Soon, both of them activated their auras and clashed, where I was most surprised. It's one thing to go against Vaessa before Aura, but another after it, especially when she had the advantage of an artifact.

I watched them exchange a few more moves, and my mood beca better and better.

Well, it seed like this wouldn't be boring after all. I thought, then turned to my target as my staff lit up. I didn't talk to him; I would only do so if my spells didn't destroy him imdiately.

My staff lit up, and a mont later, Dark Pyre Rain clouded the sky above Silver.

They have asked

not to overdo it, but seeing his General fight, I felt a surge of excitent in my heart, and I really hope Silver doesn't disappoint .

…

A wave of relief washed over

when I saw Cardin defending attack after attack.

Cardin might not look like it, but he is quite powerful—especially that skill of his, Unbroken Form.

I am envious of it.

I watched him clash again, with his body only shaking a little, before turning to the main enemy. A man in a dark blue robe; it covers the person fully, aside from the head.

I looked at the man, and he is human, with dark raven hair. He is handso, with piercing blue eyes.

In his hand, he holds a blue staff with a grey crystal. It's not an artifact, but he has an artifact. The information didn't say what, so I will be careful.

I was scrutinizing the fight when I saw the lips of the Necromancer curving.

It sent a shudder through my soul.

The next mont, I felt his staff lighting up, and I felt a spell that raised all the hair off my body. The danger sense of my people seed to go haywire as they unsheathed their blades.

"Create a distance from ," I said.

They hesitated for a mont, but seed to understand that what was coming was beyond them and quickly moved away from , leaving only Tempest and I on the battlent.

As they walked away, the area around

darkened, and I looked up. The sky is now covered in dark, fiery rain.

Dark Pyre Rain.

He wants to start with a bang! I thought as I looked at the fiery rain coming down, not only for , but also for everyone. It's an area-wide spell, covering a large area.

I have to defend myself, but also my n. This is not a spell they could defend against.

Tempest neighed at seeing it, and I smiled.

"It's ti we show them who we are," I said, and activated Monster Grant. It is an advanced skill built on Power Share, which was simple; this is not.

A bronze sheen covered my body as I felt imnse vitality coursing through . At the sa ti, my mind is connected to an imnse well of power.

I looked at the massive spell raining toward and raised my hand and reached for that well of power.

I called it, and it filled , but I didn't release imdiately. No, I waited until there were barely fifty ters of distance between

and the spell when I released it.

A burst of bright bronze lightning shot out of my hand and spread like a net.

The dark fire clashed against the lightning, creating a sizzling sound. Dark Pyre Rain is powerful, more powerful than any spell of Wraithhearth, but so is Tempest's Lights.

A few seconds passed until there was nothing other than thin bolts of pale bronze lightning.

"You have a powerful monster, Lord Silver," said Mardan, finally speaking. "Thank you, Necromancer Mardan," I replied with a small smile.

I want nothing more than to blast this bastard with everything I have, but I want to de-escalate things.

Navr is not the enemy, I want to have right now.

"How about you give it to , its bones will be really helpful for the new construct I want to craft," he said, and hearing that, I nearly lost it.

I controlled myself, and I petted Tempest. He understood what was said due to Monster Link and neighed angrily.

Anger isn't useful here; I have to be calm.

"My apologies, Necromancer Mardan, but Tempest is dear to ; even the thought of being separated from him is painful," I replied, and he grinned.

"Well, it seed like I would have to take it from you forcefully," he replied.

The next mont, I felt a spell forming, and it ford fast. He is using the artifact. I thought, as I did not see it, but it is nothing surprising.

So of them are very small, and besides, he is wearing that big robe that covers every part of his body.

I glanced at it, then at the spells; hundreds of sharp black spears of bone materialised in the air. It's a powerful variation of Bone Spear Barrage that Yatsal uses, and he seed to have taught that spell to his student.

On top of that, the spell is enhanced by the power of the artifact.

The spears didn't co at

imdiately; they remained hanging in the air for a mont until he grinned before they shot toward

at incredible speed.

The ring floating above my hand flew ahead, and I raised my hand to it before bringing out my blade.

A second later, the attack reached close, and once more, I tapped into the well of power, pointing my blade forward. As I did, a burst of bronze lightning shot toward it.

It struck against the dark bones and started obliterating them into smithereens.

I could see the surprise appearing on his face and had to hold myself back from grinning. It isn't just a lightning attack. No, it had so of the dissolution power from my blade.

The lightning had nearly destroyed it all when I sensed him casting a spell again.

Not a spell, but spells.

Spears appeared, hundreds of them, their numbers being three tis larger than before, and all of them ca at

and the others, spreading the attack into a wide area.

It made

angry; it's fine if he targets , but he is targeting my n.

Tempest neighed and a mont later, leaped into the sky from the battlent of the fortress, while I tapped into the well and the next mont, a large blast of bronze lightning shot toward the incoming spears.

He is a Great Mage; he excels in fighting long range. If I want to finish the battle quickly, I would need to move closer to him.

It will also move the target area away from my people.

The lightning finally reached the black bones and spears and began to crush through them. Each bolt of bronze lightning would destroy the spear into dust.

The spell is not weak; no, it's much stronger than what Wraithearth had attacked

with.

It's just Tempest, who is too powerful. His lightning had beco much stronger. It might not seem like it, but I have Still Mind activated to use the lightning.

It is wild and very hard to control. I am barely doing it.

Still, I am glad that I had practiced extensively with his lightning before Shared Power. The power of lightning and the skill right now couldn't be compared to before, but the experience is helping.

After today, I am going to spend more ti practicing it.

Not only because it's a powerful attack, but also because it is sothing that makes

feel like a mage. Even now, not having a talent for it hurts a little.

The lightning distorted the spears, turning them into bones. I thought he would attack again, but he didn't.

No, he is just watching , with a smile on his face.

Tempest's feet landed on the ground, and he trotted ahead, moving through the bones, which turned to nothing as the bronze lightning on his body clashed against them.

The one I am sending may be powerful, but it's not as powerful as the ones that are swimming around the body.

We were above the battle, in the middle of the thick bone dust, when all the hair on my body stood up, and I saw a spell in front of .

There was barely ten ters of distance between

and the large bone lance.

It is longer and slightly thicker than a spear, with dark fire covering its whole length. It is his most dangerous attack yet, and it is not targeting .

No, it's coming for tempest and fast.

'Should I deal with it?' I asked. I shouldn't was the answer I received.

He neighed, before I felt the power build, and when there was just ten five ters of distance between attack and us, a ball of concentrated lightning shot out of Tempest's mouth, at the blinding speed.

This is new.

Tempest was not able to do that before; he used to pull the lightning flowing around his body into a ball before throwing it.

Now, he just shot it out of his mouth. Maybe because the scales are now covering his whole head.

The concentrated ball of lightning reached the lance almost instantly before clashing against it.

The mont it did, it exploded; it covered a large area instantly, including , and I am really glad that I have so of Tempest's protections.

Even with it, I felt a burning sensation across my skin, as it is not only lightning I am feeling but also the dark fire, along with fine splinters of bone.

Tempest neighed once more and trotted across the air.

This ti, I am more alert than before, but no attack ca until we moved to land.

The black bones began to erupt through the ground. Everywhere I look, I see long black bone spikes with wickedly sharp points that would tear through , like a needle tears through a tomato.
