Necromancer: Divine-Level Summoning - Chapter 36
With a loud ‘Pa!’ sound….
A mouthful of viscous poison was spat out from the Abyss Snake’s mouth, directly onto the head of the demon leader.
This was not the end. The Abyss Snake turned its head and aimed its huge bloody mouth at the other three demons, spitting out three more times!
After coming into contact with the venom, the aura of the four deviant ghosts immediately fell harshly.
“Abyss Snake! Release the Black Snake Frenzy!”
A short but powerful order came from behind the Abyss Snake. In the next moment, the Abyss Snake’s huge body swelled up further.
With the support of the Centaur Lady’s Berserk spell, the Abyss Snake had already become extremely large.
At this moment, it had activated the Black Snake Frenzy, allowing its body to roughly double in size once more.
Peng!
The Abyss Snake twitched its tail, and with one strike, it reduced the demon leader to a paste!
Then, the Abyss Snake turned to look at the other three demons. Its tongue slithered in and out, and filthy saliva dripped from the corner of its mouth onto the ground, corroding all the dead leaves!
Swish swish swish —
With three more sounds, the tail of the Abyss Snake danced wildly and reduced the other three demons into dregs.
After clearing up four demons, Keaton did not hesitate and immediately sent the Abyss Snake back to the alternate dimension.
Standing next to Keaton, Samira and Hurley understood his actions very well. After all, this was Fallen Sky Lake, a place where danger abounded.
Keeping a colossus like the Abyss Snake wouldn’t bring any benefits at all. Instead, it would only attract unnecessary trouble.
“Why don’t let’s first make a tactical retreat!”
Samira was a timid person. It was obvious that she had been frightened by the events that just took place.
This did not mean that she was afraid of the few demons from before. She was just worried that if they continued to stay here, they would attract other demons or even the ferocious beasts that lived in the Fallen Sky Canyon.
But at this moment, the typically silent Keaton spoke out.
“Even if we leave now, we may end up running into stronger demons!”
Keaton voice was very calm and unhurried, as though he didn’t have any emotions.
They were already close to the central region of the Fallen Sky Lake region. If they wanted to leave this place and return to safety, it was not something that could be done in a short period of time.
“Keaton is right. If we retreat now, we might encounter demons that were attracted by the battle earlier coming from all directions. However, if we continue to go deeper, we can still deal with them using the Breath Suppressing Stone.”
Hurley pondered for a moment before agreeing with Keaton’s suggestion.
She could see very clearly that the demons they fought just now were not unintelligent creatures. The reason why the demons in the periphery acted like they had no intelligence was because they were not the original demons from the alternate worlds, but rather mass produced by magicks from the original demon powerhouses.
Unlike the modified demons, the original ones were extremely intelligent and did not lose to humans in any way at all.
They had already killed a group of native demons in the Fallen Heavenly Lake region, so the other demons would inevitably sense them.
If they retreated blindly, not only would they not be able to leave safely, they might even be pushed to an abyss of no return.
“Instead of waiting for them to surround us, we should do the opposite…”
Seeing that Hurley supported his opinion, Keaton laid bare his plans.
“Alright, let’s do as Keaton says!”
After hearing Keaton’s plan, Hurley slapped her thigh and made a decision.
Seeing that her mistress had already made up her mind, it was not appropriate for Samira to continue arguing. She could only quietly follow behind them, and the three of them walked towards the central area of the Fallen Sky Lake.
In the central region of Fallen Sky Lake, there was a precious area called Smokefall Plains.
This place was the destination that the three of them had decided on. There were a lot of magic materials there, and it was a treasure land that many mages would dream about.
After the previous battle, the three people walking on the road lost their interest in talking.
Everyone hurried along quietly, except for the occasional furtive glance Hurley would send towards Keaton.
Her scrutiny did not escape the prying eyes of Samira, who had been watching her.
“Miss, this person might be even stronger than us.”
As they walked, Samira suddenly whispered something to Hurley.
“Hmph!”
Hurley snorted softly, but that did not stop her movements. She immediately reached out for Samira’s waist and give it a hard pinch. It hurt so much that Samira almost cried.
“Miss, you’re the strong one. If you’re not convinced, go find that Keaton. Why are you bullying me, a Light Element support mage?”
Samira murmured in an aggrieved voice. Hurley gave her a cold look but said nothing.
Hurley was now very clear that Keaton was indeed stronger than her.
Although she was very unwilling to admit it, this was the truth.
This guy was a big shot who could summon creatures at the level of the Abyss Snake. Moreover, looking at his state at that time, he probably still had the strength to summon other creatures.
Thinking about it, Hurley sighed in resignation.
She no longer wanted to compete with Keaton because this matter was completely meaningless.
The other party could easily defeat her with just that Abyss Snake.
She had witnessed the Abyss Snake’s speed after activating the Black Snake Frenzy. That violent speed had already shattered her confidence she had in her own speed.
But as she thought about it, Hurley, who was good at comforting herself, regained some semblance of confidence.
In fact, she did not only possess two elements, but she was an extremely rare Four Elements Magus. Furthermore, her raw talent in the power of all four elements was extremely shocking.
It was just that with her current soul force, it was simply not enough to support her to use more elemental power.
Just activating the wind and fire attributes were already her limit.
“Hmph! After I successfully digest the Soul Calming Flower’s medicinal power and strengthen my own soul force, I will definitely be able to easily defeat you.”
Just like that, the group headed towards the center of the Fallen Sky Lake with different thoughts in mind.
Although they did not know the exact location of the Smokefall Plains, they stubbornly believed that they could definitely find that treasure ground.
