Chapter 224: A Small Return

Stone remembered his childhood, his parents, his cottage, his wife and children who died young, and the ups and downs of becoming a necromancer.

Why!?

Will it be easy for me to make this journey?!

The world is big, just can't accommodate me a stone?

The three light priests of the Holy Light Church are nightmarish existences for all necromancers, so the portraits of these three people are widely circulated among high-level necromancers, and I hope everyone can avoid them as soon as possible. But this kind of portrait is painted based on other people's memories, and it is not very recognizable, after all, no one has the ability to make a bright priest sit down and paint a portrait honestly.

If it weren't for this white robe, if it weren't for that terrifying holy light, Stone wouldn't have been able to confirm the other party's identity in the first place.

But after confirming it, it only made him more timid and angry.

The vast continent and the boundless sea just let me meet the only three Bright Priests here!? What have I done that people and God are angry about?

Stone would rather face Roman Sagan at this time, at least he can fight to the death.

But the Priests of Light, especially Rupert Cotton, who was known for his stubbornness and rigidity......

The long-term perseverance made Stone not give up immediately, and in any case, waiting for death was impossible.

He picked up the staff as soon as possible and chose to escape.

But if you don't use the retreat, it will only hasten death.

The dark shadow in front of Stone suddenly had a slight distortion, and then wrapped his whole person, the human body and the shadow were distorted together, and the amplitude became larger and larger, Stone's body seemed to be elongated, and when the head was still in place, his feet had been sent dozens of steps away, and when the distortion of the shadow ended, the whole person magically displaced for a long distance.

Colin stood on the roof of the castle, far away, but still able to see the whole process.

His breath was choking, and his eyes flashed with surprise.

……

Although it worked very well, Stone did not continue to use this trick, and when he opened the distance, he immediately ran away.

Rupert smiled and strode up.

Colin couldn't stand any longer, and one flew in the direction of the two of them.

Stone ran wildly with all his might, but he couldn't get rid of Rupert behind him, and watched the distance get closer and closer.

Colin's strength is far inferior to Rupert's, and it is estimated that it is a cut worse than that necromancer, but it is only better than running away, but it is not much worse than the first two.

He remembered that his teacher had said that light spells were outstanding in terms of attack, defense, and healing, and if I had to talk about weaknesses, that is, the displacement ability was poor, and to put it bluntly, the mobility was not strong.

Rupert, however, was able to bite the necromancer steadily, and kept closing the distance.

He quickly figured out the trick.

When Rupert chased after the other party, he followed almost exactly the trajectory of the necromancer in front of him, and between the twists and turns, even if there was a closer route, he would never take a shortcut.

It's as if the footprints left by a necromancer can help him speed up.

Stone was obviously familiar with the surroundings of the fortress before he came, and when he went around and around, he suddenly turned a corner,

Colin frowned.

It was in the direction of the fortress walls, the Dragon's Breath Canyon that guarded the orcs.

Two figures crossed the city wall and fell into the canyon.

Colin chased all the way and eventually landed on the city walls.

The canyon is quiet in the early hours of the morning.

The guards of the fortress found out for the first time and were about to raise the alarm, but they found that it was the lord who arrived, and they saluted one after another.

Colin told them to step back away and stand on the walls to watch the battle.

Stone stopped running away and jerked back.

"Rupert, you're going to kill me?"

After Rupert stood still, his face was calm, and he said concisely: "Arrest and accept the trial." ”

"Dreaming!" Stone growled.

Rupert did not strike immediately, but instead stood with his hands down.

"I know why you came to this place, it's not easy for you to practice this job, I'll give you a chance to work hard, but in return......"

Rupert then raised his head and said in Colin's direction, "My lord, could you please bring the coral?" ”

Colin nodded, turned and disappeared into the faintly white morning mist.

He didn't take long to return.

In a translucent big hand beside him, he carried a little girl.

"Ah...... You're not annoying, and you don't let people sleep! "Coral is clawing in the air with both hands and feet.

"Your teacher asked you to watch the game and study hard." Colin tapped her on the head.

"Isn't it just a necromancer, it's not like I haven't seen it." Coral, who was originally going to go back to sleep and sleep in the cage, was pulled up again, and he was in a very unhappy mood, but at this time, he could only lie on the city wall and look down.

……

Stone's chest rose and fell, knowing that he would inevitably die, but if he had the opportunity to fight, he would naturally not give up.

He let out an eerie grin, slowly holding the staff in both hands, slowly raising it, and then slamming it to the ground.

The temperature in Dragon's Breath Canyon is much higher, and it snows in Winterfell, so it only rains here.

The staff touched the muddy ground and made no sound, but Colin could feel a strange aura spread.

The next moment.

This ancient battlefield of humans and orcs suddenly had a slight change.

"There are thousands of dead bodies accumulated here, full of dead souls...... Rupert, are you sure you want to try my best tricks......"

With the sound, the corpse of an orc on the battlefield jerked violently, and then, corpses writhed around it.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the corpses within dozens of paces around Stone climbed up one after another.

They were all orc corpses, some had died not long ago, some had risen from the ground in the form of skeletons, and some were in a state of half-flesh and half-bone decay, which was extremely horrific and creepy when viewed from above.

The defenders of the fortress regularly clean and burn the battlefield below, but the number of orc corpses left behind is still not small.

Colin was already feeling a little uncomfortable, but Rupert still didn't move.

Finally.

Almost all the orc corpses stood up.

As thousands of orcs staggered, Stone raised his staff.

Just as he was about to give the order, a white light shot in.

Stone dodged sideways, and just as he was about to make a move, Rupert's figure had already reached the front of him.

"May the Light purify your soul."

The white-robed Priest of Light threw a punch that struck Stone's hand, holding the staff.

"Poof!"

The staff, along with the palm of the hand, was completely shattered, making a heart-palpitating sound.

Then no blood flowed out, and it was broken like a dead branch.

Stone looked at his forearm that had disappeared, and subconsciously said, "You didn't mean ......"

Don't wait for him to finish.

A holy light enveloped and imprisoned him, binding him like a rope.

Rupert reached out and picked up Stone, and one of them jumped to the wall.

Behind him, the corpses of the orcs who lost control fell to the ground one after another, and finally the entire canyon returned to calm again.

The first thing Rupert did when he came up was to say to his disciples:

"'Army of the Dead', this is one of the most powerful spells of the necromancer, even if the light spell has a natural restraint on them, try not to let them cast this trick as much as possible, otherwise it is likely to fall into a bitter battle, the time I just shot is the last opportunity, once this time has passed, the best choice is to run away first, temporarily avoid its edge, the duration of the army of the dead will not be very long, wait for the opponent to run out, and then turn around and punch him to death, understand?"

Coral seemed to have gotten used to the teacher's teaching style and nodded his little head.

Colin was shocked, is this old guy who doesn't talk about martial arts really the old-fashioned Rupert Cotton?

After Rupert finished speaking to his disciple, he looked back at Colin and showed a warm smile:

"My lord, I feel deeply guilty that I have been eating and drinking here for nothing all this time."

As he spoke, he put Stone, who had fallen into a coma, at Colin's feet: "This little bit of kindness should be my little reward. ”
