Necromancer Of The Shadows



Austin glanced back when he heard the sound of thunder crackling.

With his skill thought acceleration activated he watched in slow motion, as two pairs of four wings made from thunder materialized at the back of the orc.

A wicked grin was plastered on its hideous looking face as it watched Austin trying to fly away.

The orc flapped the lighting wings

Booooommm-!

The sound barrier was instantly broken, and like a bullet the orc shot towards Austin.

Even with his thought acceleration skill activated, he barely saw the orc moving before it appeared just behind his back, punching him with its fist covered in thunder.

The space in two meters area around them was wrapped and twisted because of the sheer force behind the punch of the orc that looks like it can even shatter a mountain.

'Fu*k' Austin's eyes opened wide feeling the power behind the punch.

The fist came into contact with Austin's back, the fist force penetrated his body, and the thunder ravaged him from the inside, as his body burst apart into bloody mist.

Just as Austin's body burst into bloody mist the face of the orc changed and it tried to back away, but before it could move the bloody mist rushed toward it covering its entire body.

Fifty meters away from the orc, Austin appeared with his face deathly pale.

"Luckily I was able to use poison clone in time or" Austin's body shuddered just thinking about what would have happened if he was struck by that fist.

ROAR -!

The orc who was covered in the bloody poison mist roared out loud feeling its body turning numb.

Austin used paralyzing poison in the clone when he created it. If it was any normal A rank hunter he was sure this poison could have paralyzed him for some time.

But against this orc whose body is unnaturally powerful Austin knew this poison will only slow it down.

And just as he expected, suddenly the orc burst with power and all the poison mist was blown away.

But Austin can see, the body of the orc was stiff because of paralyzing poison.

"Multiple poison clones" Austin used his skill once again and created four more clones.

After creating clones he commanded them to fly in different directions.

ROAR -!

The orc roared in anger when he saw multiple Austins.

The horn on its forehead lit up. Austin who was flying ahead toward the formation felt all hairs on his body stand up to no end.

And the next second

Crackle-!

The orc stood at the same place but hundreds of thunder arcs came out from its horn rushing in all directions.

The speed of lighting arcs was so fast that even with his thought acceleration skill activated, Austin was barely able to cover himself in a poison ball before thunder arcs struck him.

All four clones that he made earlier were destroyed by the thunder arcs. The poison ball Austin created to protect himself was also destroyed, but after destroying the poison ball the power of the thunder arcs was reduced by more than half.

Booom-! Boooom-! Boooom-! Boooom-!

Sound of explosions rang out as many thunder arcs crashed on the cliffs below them wreaking havoc in the mountain range.

Many cliffs were destroyed, stones turned into dust after being struck by lightning, and a three hundred meter area below them turn into a lighting zone.

Most of the hunters including B+ rank looked in the sky with pale faces.

All of them were sure that if they were caught in that attack, there is no chance for them to survive.

Austin's spear shone with crimson light, as he tried to ward off weakened thunder arcs with it after the poison ball was destroyed.

But since there were many thunder arcs some were still able to strike him. His armor blocked most of the impact but he still felt his body turning numb because of the thunder.

After destroying all the clones and finding the real Austin the orc flew towards him.

But because of the paralyzing poison, its speed was way slower than before.

The paralyzing poison not only affects the body of the target, but it also slows down the flow of mana into the target's body. Because of this when the person affected by paralyzing poison uses skills it will consume more mana, and there will be a lag before the skill activates.

This is why even though the orc was using wings of thunder for moving, which were precisely created from mana and were not part of its body, it was still slower than before.

Even while stopping the thunder arcs, Austin never stopped moving in the direction of formation, this is why when the orc moved towards him he was already two hundred meters away from it.

Because of the thunder arcs which struck him earlier, Austin's flying speed was also slower than before.

But since most of the impact was blocked by his poison ball and armor, his speed was a little faster than the orc who was suffering from the paralyzing poison.

As the orc chased after Austin they continue to move in the direction of formation.

Because of its strong body, the effect of the paralyzing poison was also weakening as time passes.

Austin also knew the effect of paralyzing poison won't last long, and he wanted to reach the location of the formation before that.

When he was around three hundred meters away from the formation, the effect of his paralyzing poison finally ended.

ROAR -!

The orc who felt its power returning roared out loud, scaring the sh*t out of Austin.

'Luckily I am now very close to formation' Austin thought and sighed in relief.

Three hundred meters is a very short distance for A rank hunters that they can cover easily.

The green wings behind Austin's back suddenly lit up and released a large amount of smoke.

The next second when he flapped his wings once again he shot forward like a bullet.

Because the effect of paralyzing poison ended, thunder crackled around the orc with full power and it also shot forward with lightning speed.
