The necromancer above suddenly shuddered sharply, and then let out a hiss from his mouth, accompanied by a chaotic whispering sound.

"W-What is this!"

“...... Broken...... Confusion...... Unexpectedly...... Oh no!"

The necromancer suddenly imitated Leon's movements, and he hugged his head tightly with his dry hands, and his screams became more and more terrible.

It is said that the body of the undead creature does not feel pain, but looking at its painful expression, there must be some power that directly acts on the depths of its soul.

"What's going on! No! it's ...... It shouldn't belong in this world!"

The words were shouted from his state of extreme pain, and they were so indistinct that the necromancer could no longer maintain his suspension and fell directly to the ground.

"Darkness is above! Leave me alone...... Leave me alone!"

A wave of screams filled through the entire castle, all the bone spears and fearful spirits turned into nothingness, and even the ghost soldiers seemed to be unable to withstand the spiritual impact emanating from the necromancer's unconscious, and began to tremble and retreat, while the few people standing in the already dim "sacred ocean" not far away were completely shocked by this sharply reversed shape.

Kaka seemed to freeze in a forward stance, and the few young people behind him also seemed to have been hit by a time standing spell, except for the occasional blinking eye, they were completely statue-like existences.

Unbeknownst to him, he fell into a state of confusion, the memories of the two worlds in his mind were intertwined, and they all seemed to turn into messy pieces, and then a honeycomb-shaped hole appeared in his mind, flying in a spiral with his thoughts, and occasionally flashing with colorful streamers that looked weird after being stretched.

Then a terrible cry came from the depths of his soul - "No!"

After this sound, the fragments of memory in his mind began to be put together one by one, and the people and things in the past became one again, and then there was a sudden burst of light, and he suddenly regained his clarity.

He slowly opened his eyes, and what was in front of him was blurry at first, then slowly became clear, and when he was finally able to see completely, he saw the final scene of the necromancer.

The necromancer had turned into gray-white flames, although it was not far away, but there was no trace of warmth, the wide robe, the long-handled staff dissolved in the flames little by little, and finally the face with negative expressions such as incomprehension, resentment, and fear began to blur, and finally all disappeared in the flames, leaving only an unwilling roar in the ears.

The soul flame was also gradually extinguished, and the undead archmage did not even leave any traces on the floor, and the ghost soldiers were nowhere to be found.

......

After a while, the other members of the mercenary group finally recovered, and Sophia rushed over with a cheer, almost hanging on Leon's body.

For this priest girl, no matter what happened to Leon, it was not surprising, she could explain it in one sentence - "because he is very strong!"

Melissa had the same idea as she did, and she had the impression that the sometimes vicious and sometimes kind leader was indeed very powerful.

Jeff's eyes rolled, of course he knew that Li Ang's appearance just now was very unusual, but on the other hand, he had already understood the character of this young leader, and it could be said that with him, this mercenary group that seemed to be very harmonious would continue to grow, so ...... What would it matter if he was more abnormal? Deep down in Jeff's heart, he would like Leon to be stronger, more "abnormal".

Kaka frowned and fell into thought, there were too many incomprehensible things about this apprentice, including the speed of strength increase, his incredible talent for alchemy, and his inexplicably awakened red dragon talent...... Just because his grandfather was a fourth-order paladin, this reason was definitely not a reasonable explanation.

Plus the scene that just happened...... What secret is hidden in this young man?

Kaka's brow furrowed for a moment, then suddenly relaxed, his tan face smiling unusually happy.

"Could it be that my Kaka's eyes are so vicious that I have accepted a promising apprentice?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to have a chance to meet those disgusting fellows in the future?"

"...... later"

The alchemist's thinking is not good, he has fallen into all kinds of scenarios of how to show off "later".

At this moment, a figure passed by him and walked towards Leon, and then Jeff's voice suddenly sounded.

"Sophia, come on, there's something fun going on here!"

"Where?" Sophia immediately jumped off Leon's top of him and ran to Jeff's side to look where he was pointing.

At this time, Caterina stood in front of Leon and pursed her lips to look him in the eyes.

"I'm sorry...... I didn't help just now......" The knight girl's eyes began to redden.

Leon didn't know exactly what had just happened, only that the necromancer suddenly disintegrated and died when he wanted to capture his soul, and the rest of the time was a bit of a mess. So when I heard the other party's words, I wanted to persuade her not to take everything on herself, but when she saw Katarina's rare weak expression, her heart softened inexplicably, "Katarina...... I know you care about me, thank you. ”

The knight girl's face turned red and fluttered, and she lowered her head slightly, and Li Ang suddenly found that a strand of hair was scattered near the other party's forehead, and the ghost helped her get it back.

Then he and Caterina both froze.

"Huh...... It looks a little messy...... So ......" Li Ang laughed dryly, he was also a little nervous in his heart, he didn't know what to say for a while, and slowly retracted his hand, but there was some nostalgia in his heart for the touch just now.

The knight girl's face, which had been pink just a moment ago, was now like a red cloth, and her head hung lower and lower, and she said in a mosquito-like voice.

"It's okay......"

These few inaudible words made Leon suddenly emboldened, and his hand reached for Caterina's shoulder again. Although the girl on the opposite side lowered her head, she obviously noticed his movements, her body suddenly stiffened, and she just wanted to retreat, but she stopped abruptly.

"Carter ......"

Leon had just said two words, when suddenly the ground shook.

"Is there such a big reaction......

As soon as this very "jumpy" thought flashed through Leon's mind, he came to his senses, and his outstretched hand changed direction halfway, grabbed the unbalanced Caterina and pulled her back into his arms.

Smelling the breath of Leon's body at once, the knight girl's heart immediately beat sharply, she reflexively shrank backwards, and directly withdrew a few meters, only to find that the vibration around her was more violent, and this time the sound was even louder, and it began to shake continuously, and the surrounding furniture rolled back and forth in the hall with the vibration, completely damaged.

While everyone was lying on the ground clutching something that held their bodies in place, Kaka stood firmly, his head turning back and forth, as if observing the source of the tremors.

"Who is it...... Dare to break in...... The owner's abode...... And...... And killed...... The guards ......"

A sudden, dull voice echoed in all directions, and it felt that the owner of the voice was a little slurred, and the words spoken were rather slurred.

"Everyone, be careful!" Kaka suddenly reminded in a loud voice, his face even more solemn than when he faced the necromancer just now.

"It's like ...... Get out of the way!" he was about to speak his judgment when a dark purple hole appeared behind Katarina, and there seemed to be endless flames burning inside.

At this time, Caterina had just broken free from Leon's arms, and she stood in place and swayed from side to side to maintain her balance, but she did not notice the abnormality behind her.

There was feedback from the battlefield map, and Leon was actually the first to find it, but he saw that the hollow was expanding very quickly, and he didn't have time to warn him before he rushed to the knight girl's side, and pushed her away near Kaka with a shoulder bump.

But this time, he couldn't dodge the scope of the hole, and his body was swallowed in an instant, and then the hole seemed to be satisfied, and he disappeared in place with the young leader in a few flashes.

"Leon!" cried Caterina with tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with endless remorse.

(Perseverance in all kinds of ...... ）
