The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 306: Another One Down

But soon, that trace of relief was quickly put away by Sarld.

Because with an Epic Knight comrade dead and now beset by two Epic Mage enemies, it meant he was not far from death either.

And the moment these two Epic Mages revealed themselves, he understood why he hadn’t seen Kaino earlier.

Clearly, Kaino must have encountered grave misfortune.

If faced only with those top-tier undead creatures, it was perfectly reasonable to believe Kaino couldn’t have died in such a short time.

But with the addition of two Epic Mages, the situation was entirely different.

The enemy could indeed have killed Kaino in such a short time.

After all, considering the attacks from these two Epic Mages.

These Epic Mages were remarkably formidable, belonging to the kind with deep roots.

Absolutely incomparable to ordinary mages.

At that moment, Riel, who was in combat with the Azure Moon Dragon Xiaojing in the distance, also noticed the situation here.

Seeing his Epic Knight comrade dead and two Epic Mages appearing, he too was taken aback.

In disbelief, a thought of retreat began to grow in his mind.

But he soon realized that retreat was impossible.

Having witnessed the oceanic swimming speed of the Azure Moon Dragon Xiaojing.

With such a swimming speed, escape was impossible on the vast sea.

In fact, after seeing the Azure Moon Dragon Xiaojing’s swimming speed, he had doubts.

With such speed, how could Kaino have possibly escaped?

Even with great doubts, he couldn’t believe Kaino could be killed by those undead creatures in such a short time.

Moreover, he was already in combat with the Azure Moon Dragon Xiaojing and couldn’t express his doubts to his comrades.

As for his comrades, surrounded by undead creatures, amidst various dazzling attacks that blocked their view, they naturally couldn’t see the situation on the Azure Moon Dragon Xiaojing’s side.

Especially during battle, it wasn’t possible to get distracted.

Facing nearly 200 top-tier undead creatures, the pressure on his three comrades was considerable.

If they dared shift their focus, they might get injured, and an injury would start a snowball effect.

No one dared to take that risk.

Unexpectedly, his concern and doubts indeed turned into a terrifying reality.

Two Epic Mages had been hiding in a corner, ambushing them.

So insidious, so vicious, so shameless, so despicable...

Nearly all malicious words came to Riel’s mind.

But apparently, this had no effect on the enemy, only angering himself.

Riel bit his lip, his attacks became increasingly fierce.

Initially, he heeded advice from his comrades, merely dragging the Azure Moon Dragon Xiaojing without attempting to defeat or kill it.

But the situation was different now.

His comrade was killed by a sneak attack; two mysterious Epic Mages had emerged from the enemy.

This situation pushed them to the brink of desperation.

Thus Riel felt the only way out was to desperately defeat the Azure Moon Dragon Xiaojing in battle and have the chance to escape.

Now he paid no mind to others, only seeking to swiftly deal with the Azure Moon Dragon Xiaojing and find a way to flee.

Having survived this long and reached an Epic tier, no one wished to die.

However, was the Azure Moon Dragon Xiaojing so easily handled?

Especially when their battleground was the ocean.

The Azure Moon Dragon Xiaojing could leverage its advantage of the sea to resist the opponent’s magic attacks to a certain extent.

This made Riel increasingly impatient, as without dealing with the Azure Moon Dragon Xiaojing, he couldn’t retreat.

The Azure Moon Dragon Xiaojing’s swimming speed far exceeded his; dragging him was simply too easy.

He had no choice.

Not only was he suffering, but Sarld and others besieged by Sarlin, Rukaini, and the players were suffering even more.

Originally facing nearly 200 top-tier undead creatures, the pressure on their three Epic beings was already immense.

Now with one comrade dead from a sneak attack, only two remained, and two troublesome Epic Mages joined the enemy, making things deadly.

Several Defense Magic and Battle Energy Defense spells were directly shattered; luckily, both had exceptional combat talents and rich experience, quickly restoring their defenses.

This prevented Sarlin, Rukaini, and the players from seizing the opportunity to kill them.

However, this was temporary; the intensity of the battle rapidly drained their magic power and battle energy.

The players certainly wouldn’t give Sarld the chance to replenish his magic power with a Mana Potion or Demon Crystal.

As for the other Epic Knight, he had even less means to replenish his battle energy.

Quick replenishment potions existed, but they were difficult to craft.

Much harder than Mana Potions, with more complex and precious materials needed.

Only massive organizations’ Upper Knights could potentially acquire them.

While Ten Mother Islands had such items, they hadn’t visited, living leisurely and claiming dominance here.

Under the siege of Sarlin, Rukaini, and the players, Sarld and this Epic Knight soon faltered.

First to suffer was the Epic Knight.

A colossal water column crashed from above onto him, instantly shattering his Battle Energy Defense again.

He prepared to restore his defense, but countless players’ Death Energy attacks arrived before him.

He quickly waved his weapon to resist, but the next instant, a strange Light Arrow shot from an unknown angle, hitting him.

This pierced the vulnerability in his already broken defense.

In the next instant, thousands of Ice Spikes shot at him from all directions.

As a Light Saber followed immediately.

Under such circumstances, he couldn’t restore his Battle Energy Defense.

He was instantly overwhelmed by the attacks, leaving no corpse behind.
