Strongest Necromancer System-Chapter 164: A Mad Scramble

Riyala slashed her hand across the air and sent out a blade of fire, and the second assassin put his hand forward and revealed an eyeball in the middle of his palm which quickly absorbed the flames and all the mana that came with it!

Riyala’s eyes widened in shock!

’He’s from Rewun! They’re the only world I know that can absorb mana like that! And the other man fell into the shadows? The teacher told me that one of the Primordial Races could control the shadows! But he isn’t a Primordial! Wait... They aren’t primordials but I think I’ve heard about them before! They’re the phantoms! The assassins that sell their services for money! This is my fault. They’re here for me!’ freёwebnoѵel.com

WOOSH!

An arrow of wind suddenly flew past Riyala and slammed into a figure on her left side, and Riyala realized in shock that she had dozed out for a moment and had almost been attacked! She turned to Gina and saw Gina holding a magic staff while narrowing her eyes in concentration!

"Focus, Riyala! They can move through the shadows!"

Gina spoke loudly but Riyala couldn’t understand a word that she said! Riyala felt a surge of anguish rising from her heart as she saw the injuries on Gina’s arm and the tears in her clothes! This was all her fault! If she hadn’t been here then they wouldn’t have attacked! She could never do anything but hurt those around her!

"Riyala!"

Gina shouted in anger when she saw Riyala’s flames starting to die down and Riyala immediately gained her senses back as she saw that one of the assassins was running toward her! Another arrow of wind headed for the assassin and they had to dodge out of the way to avoid it! Riyala immediately strengthened her resolve as she reignited her fire and made it surge back to life! The assassins all retreated when the fire increased in intensity and Gina wasted no time as she sent out a blast of wind to make them retreat even further!

At the side, the Moonlight wolves were having the fight of their lives against the other three assassins. All the phantoms that had attacked were somewhere in the high C Rank to low B Rank, and all three of the moonlight wolves that Jason had left behind were Pawn Rank II, so they were all evenly matched and the only difference between them was the skill the phantoms had as professional assassins! But the phantoms were still finding it difficult to defeat the wolves because all three wolves were Rook Subordinates, so they possessed a hundred percent boost in their defenses! It didn’t matter how much damage the phantoms did, the wolves just kept coming back for more!

The moonlight wolves and phantoms tore through the house in a mad scramble for power that destroyed the entire apartment! The walls and furniture didn’t stand a chance against the extraordinary power of the fighters and everything in the house was destroyed as the fight progressed!

The moonlight wolves weren’t smart enough to think of any complicated strategy or plan of attack, but they had been given a single order by Jason and that was to protect the girls from any harm, so they were attacking with a reckless abandon that bordered on insanity! They were so intense in their attacks that they didn’t give the phantoms any chance of melting into the shadows anymore and the phantoms were forced to think of new ways to attack!

The leader of the group, Yulyv, was being attacked by one of the larger moonlight wolves and he reversed his grip on his sais and stabbed downwards on the wolf’s head as it tried to take a large bite out of him! The sais stabbed deep into the wolf’s skull and Yulyv was sure that it pierced into the brain, but he was shocked when the wolf didn’t even stop! It raised its head and carried Yulyv along with it before swinging the both of them into another wall at the side and breaking through it!

BOOM!

Yulyv barely managed to pull his sais out of the beast and he slid to a stop few meters away before looking down to see that his sais were chipped and almost broken!

’What sort of beast is this!?’

Yulyv narrowed his eyes at the Moonlight Wolf and he realized that there was something more to them than what he was seeing. Moonlight wolves weren’t normally this strong unless they were the leader of their pack, and there was no way three pack leaders would be working together like this!

’Is there a master tamer around here? And why don’t they die when I stab them? They definitely aren’t normal!’

They had to change their tactic!

Whistle~

Yulyv let out a complicated whistle towards the other phantoms and they acknowledged his order silently as they continued their fight! Yulyv fell back and melted into the shadow behind him as he started to make his way towards Riyala and one of the phantoms that was currently fighting Riyala broke off and changed places with Yulyv so he was facing the moonlight wolf!

Yulyv appeared from the shadow outside the blue flames surrounding Riyala and Gina and he clapped his hands and called on his mana! Yulyv was from a world of desert wanderers who utilized wind magic to harvest spice and rare metals, so the moment his mana surged out of him, a gale of wind blew through the room!

WOOSH!

The wind tore into the fire created by Riyala and Yulyv pushed his hands forward before splitting them apart! The winds followed his orders and split the fire in half and the phantoms immediately ran forward through the opening in the flames! The fires were too bright, so the phantoms couldn’t use the shadows to move closer to Riyala, but they knew that they were stronger than her, so the moment they got their hands on her, this battle would be over!

ROARR!

One of the moonlight wolves suddenly appeared from the side and slammed into the phantom beside Yulyv! Yulyv turned to the side and he saw that the Moonlight Wolf had already killed one of them! He grit his teeth in anger, but he didn’t bother to stop as he continued running forward to confront Riyala!

WOOSH!

BAM!

A wind-arrow struck Yulyv on the side of his head and he turned with a growl towards Gina! His poison yellow eyes glared at Gina, but Gina didn’t show any fear at all as she continued releasing more attacks! Riyala joined in and began to send fireballs at Yulyv and Yulyv was forced to dodge to the side as both attacks were too much for him to take head-on!

There were only four of the assassins left and from what Yulyv had seen, the wolves were most likely immortal. The only chance he had was to grab the princess and simply run for it while leaving the others to cover his escape! Yulyv didn’t think that they would face such an intense fight when they came here, but it didn’t matter. The only thing Alpha cared about was them completing their mission, so even if he was the only one to return, it would still be fine!

Yulyv dashed forward with his eyes locked on Riyala! Another arrow of wind flew for him from the side and he released his mana and used it to create a wind blade to counter Gina’s attack! Riyala unleashed more fire, but Yulyv could already see that it was not as strong as before, so he easily used his mana to deflect it! The strength of the flames told Yulyv that Riyala was running out of mana already!

Yulyv picked up speed even more to try and get to Riyala! He just needed to touch her once! Just once!
