Chapter 637: Chapter 350: Tombstone of the Superior Knight_2

The starving ones desired to find those living beings, to consume them raw.

However, because Ivita and the Hearthstone Witch were above them, they were destined to find nothing. As a result, they blundered and wandered in the evaporating territory, yet could not locate the scent they had sensed.

...

Upon Thunder Fang Cliff, Chino Kennedy was leading a patrol around the castle.

Vampire Wilson was on the second floor of the castle, having a discussion with the Blue Illusion Witch and the Dead Cow Wizard, when he heard the warning signal of the guards’ whistle. Upon looking out the window, he saw a large number of infantry and cavalry emerging on the road leading to the castle atop Thunder Fang Cliff.

Vampire Wilson felt a headache coming on, "That’s... damn, it’s an allied army of the Earl and the nobles loyal to him."

"But this is too exaggerated."

"All we did was explore this castle, and Earl Yisen Hanjian has brought all his troops, even requesting the armies of his vassals."

The Blue Illusion Witch bowed her head and said, "The Black Witch wanted to kill me for this castle. But that’s not a big deal. We just need to find a way to buy some time for Lord Ivita."

The Dead Cow Wizard had always been reticent, as he always felt he was forcibly included in Ivita’s party. But now, faced with the pressing danger of a large army, he had no choice but to devise a plan. "Today is the full moon. If we can delay them until nightfall, I can summon all the dead buried beneath this cliff with the aid of the moonlight. By then, we might have the strength to resist the Earl’s army."

The Blue Illusion Witch was incredulous: "How many corpses could possibly be beneath the cliff?!"

The Dead Cow Wizard replied: "Although I don’t know why, there are indeed many. In fact, there are even corpses of knights. Using the lingering spirits on their bodies, we may not be able to summon Death Knights, but we could summon Skeleton Knights which are several levels lower.

The Blue Illusion Witch glanced at him but said nothing. After all, if it could reinforce their combat strength, it was worth it. Her son was still among the army commanded by Chino Kennedy, after all.

Wilson watched the two, the corner of his mouth lifting in a slight smile.

Good.

Although both were loyal to Ivita for different reasons, they were not blindly loyal to him.

But as long as they were proactive, that was enough.

In time, they would naturally be integrated into the group.

...

In the sky above the Disappearing Territories, the Ice Witch was growing increasingly frustrated because she couldn’t get to them.

She originally thought she could freeze Ivita’s wings with the blizzard and chase him down to kill him with Gray Thorn Magic.

However, as she saw the Thousand-Year Fire burn on the body of the hawk transformed by Ivita, she was nearly driven mad.

The Corpse Giant Bird stared at the hawk in the fire in front of her, furious and ashamed. ’The Thousand-Year Fire is the Fire of Law, the flame that restrains my magic.’

’If this continues, the Sword of Power will kill me first.’

’I underestimated Ivita.’

’An official wizard should not have such powerful items. I tried several times to hypnotize him, but it was all in vain. His soul must contain numerous treasures that strengthen it. Otherwise, he would never be able to dismiss a Witch Marquis’s hypnotic magic.’

’Although I have always known that my teacher is powerful, I didn’t expect to be driven into a corner. After being separated from him for two hundred and fifty years, I’ve forgotten how terrifying he is.’

’Regarding him as a regular wizard anymore would bring about my death.’

’In view of this, I will attack the witch by his side, force him to protect her, and then seize the opportunity to attack him.’

The Corpse Giant Bird turned and flapped her wings at the vultures, instantly making the Hearthstone Witch the main target of the blizzard.

The Hearthstone Witch immediately screamed out to Ivita. "Your Majesty, I can’t withstand her ice magic for long. What should we do?"

Ivita didn’t answer, but in the sky behind him, lightning flickered, and a Thunder Dragon, entirely resembling a dragon, swam through the storm clouds, reaching out a giant claw towards the Corpse Giant Bird.

As soon as the giant claw stretched out from the storm clouds, it became a streak of silver-infused lightning, striking the body of the Corpse Giant Bird.

The Corpse Giant Bird let out a squawk, her body swaying and her flight slowing for a few minutes. She then drew closer to Ivita and his company once again.

The Hearthstone Witch watched, trembling with fright. That was a Witch Marquis chasing after them, after all. "Your Majesty, she’s already an undead. It’s going to be hard for us to kill something that’s already dead. Besides, her magic is stronger than ours."

"We need more powerful offensive magic."

Ivita said to her, "Isn’t the Dragon Battle wave your more powerful attack magic? Its power is as great as you want it to be."

The Hearthstone Witch was disconsolate. "It should have been so. But now I’m all set on running away, I don’t even have the heart to cause trouble."

"I’m too timid."

"Now, I can’t use the magical power of the Green Dragon Stick."

Ivita had expected this, but her words did disappoint him. "Then we’ll keep stalling. Let’s see who lasts longer!"

"We’re going to be caught up again." The Hearthstone Witch cried out in fear.

Ivita looked back, damn it. His earlier Thunder Dragon attack had almost killed it, but the undead bird’s strong recovery ability allowed it to recover quickly as long as it wasn’t killed with a single strike.
