Chapter 131: Plan Thwarted

Booom!

An explosion sounded in the air as a shockwave was generated from the punch that was launched by the clone.

The shock wave moved at an incredible speed, then, it heavily banged onto the dragon that was charging forward. The ferocious dragon that would intimidate anyone that looked at it was suddenly crushed into bits and pieces of sparks of red and yellow flame dissipated into the air.

As for the arrows that were heading for him, the clone completely ignored them.

The attack that was launched by Diana was the one that landed first. But, the moment that the attack landed, it was as if it had sank into a deep ocean, causing no ripple at all.

The fire arrows landed next. But, just like the collapsing arrow that had been shot by Diana, they did not cause any effect on the clone.

The clone looked at Henry and Diana who were completely stunned and said, "I have to admit that the two of you possess incredible combat capabilities. If you joined the dark race, then, perhaps you would have become big figures in the future. But, it is a pity that you are unwilling to surrender."

Henry did not respond. He was not willing to engage himself in a useless banter. Since that was the case, he attacked again. He was not willing to give up. Despite the fact that he had already realized that most of his attacks did not have much of an effect on the clone, since this was a fight, a winner had to be decided.

A rain of swords suddenly appeared in the air as they rushed towards the clone. At the same time, a fireball was conjured as it headed towards the clone as well.

Henry had decided to use The warlock profession to the maximum level. Since he was using the energy for two paths at the same time, the energy was being consumed at an incredible speed.

At the same time as he attacked, he instructed Diana, ’Go and kill that necromancer. I’m sure that after killing him, you will be able to level up to the third level of the bronze rank. With that, our strength will be able to increase and our chances of defeating this creature will also shoot up.’

He had realized that during the time that the fight had began, the necromancer retreated. Nevertheless, Henry had already realized that currently, Diana was completely useless in the fight.

She had used the strongest skill that she possessed, but, it was completely useless in the face of the clone. For that reason, rather than having her continuing wasting the energy, then, it was better if she did something that was going to help them.

Henry was not sure if the necromancer possessed any other trump cards that he was still keeping as a secret. So, he believed that it will be better to get rid of him considering that, he was the one that had managed to summon the clone here.

Diana’s eyes glinted with coldness. She did not like the feeling of being completely useless in a fight like this. She was supposed to be Henry’s helper, but now, there was nothing that she could do in the fight that he was participating in.

She was feeling helpless. But, now, she had been given another task. Currently, she was not that far from reaching the third level of the bronze rank. So, by killing a necromancer that was at the 5th level of the Bronze rank, then, she believed that it would not be difficult for her to become a level 3 bronze rank summoned creature.

Since she always attacked from a long range, she raised the bow in her hand, and aimed towards the necromancer. This time, when attacking a figure that was not at the same level as the clone, she did not need to use her ultimate skill to deal with him.

The energy in her body surged. In the next moment, it condensed into a green arrow. This was an elemental arrow that came from the affinity that she had towards the wind. Not only was it fast, but it was also sharp.

Since the necromancer wasn’t currently being attentive towards her, and instead, was focusing on the battlefield between the clone and Henry, then, this was a chance that she was planning to utilize.

She wanted to use a sneak attack. It was not that she was afraid, but, with the clone around, she doubted that it was going to easily allow her to kill the necromancer. After all, out of the entire group of necromancers that had descended into the world, he was the only one that was remaining.

Nevertheless, she released the arrow from her bow. The arrow cut through the air as it approached the necromancer at an incredible speed.

The necromancer who was enjoying the show of Henry attacking without any success in his attacks, suddenly felt danger approaching him.

Although he was not paying much attention towards Diana, he was still a level 5 bronze rank creature. For that reason, not only were his senses sharp, but his reaction speed was also high.

Knowing that there was no time for him to retrieve his scythe, he immediately set up a barrier around him.

Of course, Diana had been expecting such a reaction from the necromancer. So, as she attacked this time, she did not attack just anyhow. Instead, she had used a lot of energy in that attack.

So, by the time that the weak barrier was forming around the necromancer, the elemental arrow managed to pierce through it.

The necromancer’s eyes widened in surprise. He had never expected that the attack coming from Diana was just as strong as Henry. Nevertheless, he could see that his life was going to end here.

The arrow was just fast for him to react. It had already pierced through the barrier that he had set around him, so, there was nothing else that he could do. At the end of the day, he had never expected that the arrow was going to be capable of penetrating his defenses.

However, just as the arrow was about to pierce through the brows of the necromancer, a hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the arrow, before crushing it into green smoke that dissipated into the air.

The clone’s eyes became cold as he looked at Diana. He had never expected that Diana was going to attack the necromancer, despite the fact that they were not capable of handling him.

During the time that Diana was attacking, Henry had of course increased the intensity of his attacks. Despite the fact that his attacks did not cause any damage to the clone, he had to ensure that the clone did not focus on Diana.

But, his efforts were in vain. The clone was able to detect the fluctuations in the air, and, he noticed that Diana was actually attacking the necromancer. Without hesitation, he immediately abandoned the fight between him and Henry, then, turning into a dark cloud of smoke, he charged towards the necromancer.

But, due to the fact that the body that he was currently possessing was weaker than normal, he had mistimed himself. So, he definitely knew that he was not going to be capable of reaching the necromancer on time.

But luckily, the necromancer reacted on time and set up a barrier, that despite being broken through, it was able to slow down the arrow, allowing the clone to arrive In time and grab the arrow, preventing it from killing the necromancer.

"Since that is the way that you want to play, then, I will no longer joke around with you." The clone stated with a detached voice. This time, he was completely infuriated. If this necromancer was killed, then, there was no way that the dark race was going to set a foothold for themselves in this world.

They would have to wait for another round before another group of members of the dark race descended. But, by that time, the other races would have already gained much advantage.

Diana suddenly felt a chill down her spine. At the same time, she felt immense danger was approaching her. She wanted to retreat, but no matter how much she tried, she felt that, no matter where she went, there was no way that she was going to avoid the danger.

Suddenly, the clone appeared in front of her. Without an expression on his face, he immediately launched a punch towards Diana’s head. This punch was covered with spikes that had appeared on his knuckles.

Of course, they were created from the dark energy that was possessed by the clone. If those spikes landed on Diana’s head, then, there was no doubt that she will be killed on the spot.

Diana was not someone that was good at close combat. Instead, she was good at attacking from a distance. That implied that, she did not possess an incredible physique that was capable of handling such an attack.

When he noticed that the clone was actually attacking Diana, Henry’s pupils contracted. At the same time, a frosty expression appeared on his face.

To him, he was only capable of summoning a single creature in each rank. And, if one of his summoned creatures was killed, then, there was no replacement.

So of course, there was no way that he was going to allow Diana to be killed. Diana was part of his foundation, considering that currently, he did not possess that much manpower. Additionally, he was not someone that liked to depend on others.

To him, he always trusted his own strength to do things. So, without hesitation, he immediately mobilized the energy in his body, and activated a connection with Diana.

In the next moment, just as they attack was about to land on Diana and obliterate her, she suddenly vanished out of the clone’s sight.

"Humph! I guess I will deal with you first then." The clone snorted as he gazed towards Henry’s direction with a cold expression on his face.
