Suddenly, there was a violent explosion in the inn, and as a flame exploded, the windows of the back alley were shattered, and tongues of fire erupted from the window frames, and the intense light of the fire reflected the dim alley.

The explosion was followed by countless unidentified objects that shot out like a torrential rain, making the walls of the alley crackle.

The explosion quickly subsided, and Raymond and the others got up. From the windows, smoke and dust filled the inn, and through the faint flames of the burning fire, the floor could be seen full of corpses and shattered tables and chairs.

At that moment, with a thud, something rolled down at Raymond's feet. Raymond picked it up and saw that it was a tiny steel ball, and it was these things that had just shot out. With the power of the explosion, these steel balls smashed the walls of the back alley into a thousand holes, so you can imagine what it was like in the inn, and I am afraid that no enemy will survive at this time.

If I hadn't gotten down just now... Raymond shuddered, not daring to think about it again.

"That's... What's that?" Javier swallowed.

"It's the weird thing that Alina sold me, and I didn't expect it to be so powerful. Raymond said.

"Oh my god. Harlot stammered.

"Anyway, leave this alone and let's go. For fear that something would happen again, Raymond hurriedly said.

Who knows, there is a good saying, what you are afraid of comes.

Before Raymond could finish speaking, suddenly a biting cold wind blew in the alley. In this season, the weather is mild at night, and there is no such winter wind at all.

And the wind came very suddenly, almost instantly blowing all over the alley, blowing around everyone.

Harrot shivered, "Mom, why is it so cold?"

At this moment, a loud roar was heard, and the wind around everyone swirled in place as if it were alive, and it turned into an incredible pillar of wind that rushed straight into the sky, as if someone was indulging.

Immediately after, a terrifyingly grayish-white, translucent figure swooped out from the wind.

It was so sudden that they didn't react until the thing rushed towards the crowd. Harlot was startled: "Damn, what is this?"

"Be careful!" said Shirness.

Before he finished speaking, the thing flew around the room like a real wind, and every time he passed a person, that person's face turned pale, and his whole body trembled as if the heat in his body had been sucked away.

Bypassing Javier and the others, that terrible shadow went straight to Raymond.

I don't know what it was, Raymond just instinctively slashed with a sword. However, it was like slashing into the air, with no effect, and at the same time, the thing flew over Raymond's head, and then swooped down.

At this time, Raymond also saw the appearance of the thing up close.

The upper body of this gray shadow is humanoid, and below the waist is like a random mark with a brush, and the end is in tatters, flying in the air as light as nothing.

The shadow's face is blurry, and it can only be vaguely seen that it has facial features and other objects, and it seems to be a human form. However, its eyes, gloomy and cold, staring at Raymond with a deep hatred, were extremely impressive, and Raymond faintly felt that he should have seen it somewhere.

However, at this time, he was no longer allowed to think about it, and the gray shadow instantly pounced on him. Suddenly, Raymond felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar full of sticky substances, which quickly wrapped him up and quickly absorbed the heat from Raymond's body.

Raymond wanted to struggle, but there was nothing he could do, his body trembled, and he quickly became cold.

To outsiders, Raymond was seen lying on the ground, his body covered in a hazy gray shadow. His body stiffened, trembling slightly, as if he was about to die.

"Young master!" Bath exclaimed, and immediately rushed forward.

"Let go of my young master!" cried Catwoman, trying to lift the gray shadow with her hands, but in vain as if trying to scoop up the moon in the water.

In desperation, Baster pulled out the scimitar at her waist like the shadow.

It's still useless, though, because Raymond just proved that this thing isn't afraid of physical attacks at all... Wait, something isn't right!

I saw that with Bathter's slashing, the surface of the shadow continued to wave, and it seemed to be quite uncomfortable. Why is Barster able to do damage to it?

If you look closely, you can see that Baste's scimitar is so bright that when she swings it in battle, it looks like two clouds of silver light. This is because her scimitar is silver-plated.

Finally, the gray shadow couldn't stand it anymore. With a loud roar, the gray shadow left Raymond's body, reverted to his form, and then angrily threw himself at Bath.

"Ahh

Seeing that Baster was about to suffer the same fate as Raymond, a soft white light suddenly emitted from Catwoman's chest.

It was like seeing the snow of the scorching sun, and the gray shadow was illuminated by the white light, and it let out a terrible scream, spinning and dancing in the air.

"How could it be... Is it a crystal core!?"

"Bath, take it out quickly!" At this time, Raymond, who had recovered, saw this and hurriedly said.

Baste pulled out an object from her bosom, and it was the crystal that Raymond had given her, and the soft light emanated from inside the crystal. As soon as it was exposed to the air, the crystal seemed to feel the evil power of the gray shadow, and the white light suddenly increased, almost shining through the entire alley.

Gray Shadow screamed and hurriedly floated into the air and fled into the distance, but his speed was much slower, and he seemed to have been greatly damaged.

Seeing the thing fleeing into the distance, Hilnith said with trepidations, "That... What is that, exactly?"

"It seems to be some kind of ghost. Javier was well-informed, he guessed.

"Ghosts, undead?" Hearing this, a stirring spirit in Raymond's mind remembered the eyes of Gray Shadow, where he had seen them.

The necromancer he met when he was killing the bandits in Headington!

This gray shadow must have something to do with him!

"Wow, young master, it turns out that the things you gave me are so powerful. As the gray shadow fled, the light of the crystal gradually dissipated, and it returned to its normal warm appearance, much to Catwoman's amazement.

At this time, with the sound of footsteps, a large group of people appeared at the entrance of the alley and ran towards this direction. Looking at the clothes, it was the Orat city defense team that heard the movement and rushed to it.

That necromancer had something to do with the attack on Beddington, and now that he is here again, the origin is certainly not simple, and if you can catch him, you will definitely be able to find out a lot of secrets. Now while he is seriously injured, he must not be allowed to escape.

Thinking of this, he said to Javier: "Mr. Javier, Hilness and Harlott will ask you, you let the city defense team take you back to the hotel." ”

"Where are you going, Lord Raymond?" asked Javier.

"I'm going to find out what that thing is. Raymond pointed in the direction the gray shadow drifted away.

Without waiting for Javier to speak, he called out to Baste, and the two quickly chased after them.

"Young master, what are we chasing?" said Baste in confusion as she ran.

"Bathter, do you remember the necromancer we ran into when we were clearing out bandits?"

"Remember, remember. Bath looked apprehensive: "That guy is terrible." ”

"He's what we're chasing. Raymond said: "The gray shadow just now must be under his control, and it may even be him." ”

"What?" Catwoman was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Young master, the two of us can't beat it." ”

"It's okay, that guy is already seriously injured. Raymond said, "I don't know why, but your crystal seems to be able to hurt him a lot." ”

"What, are you afraid?"

"Meow, of course not. Catwoman's eyes swelled with determination: "No matter where the young master goes, I will follow you." ”

Moved in his heart, Raymond patted Catwoman's head: "Okay, we must catch him this time." ”

"Hmm. ”

After a while.

"Young master, where should I find it? Looking at the streets and alleys in front of her, Catwoman said deflatedly.

Although the two chased the direction of Gray Shadow's escape, they underestimated the complexity of the streets outside the city, and after a while, they completely fainted. Now let alone looking for that necromancer, it's a question of whether or not you can find your way back.

No wonder the other party wants to attack themselves in this area, no matter what happens, it is very convenient to escape.

Just as Raymond was hesitating whether to continue the chase, he heard some voices coming from the corner of the street in front of him.

Glancing at Catwoman, the two of them touched that side. As soon as he walked around the corner, a white figure suddenly bumped into the opposite side.
