The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 117 The Pendant of the Dark Star
Seeing the four corpse puppets attacking, Sauron didn't panic.

The bone wand in his hand paused, and the bone skeletons summoned before immediately rushed up and rushed straight to Manlis.

Malice didn't rush, and when she raised her hand, a magic wand like a branch appeared in her hand.

"Black Flowing Fire!"

As Manlis uttered the syllables lightly, clusters of meteor-like fireballs shot around her, smashing several white bone skeletons in an instant.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The four corpse puppets controlled by Malice had already surrounded Sauron. Welch's complexion was pale, and there was no luster in his eyes.

Stab la la!
The long knife attacked, Sauron swung his sword to block, and there was a harsh sound from the friction between the sharp blades. Welch's merciless offensive made Sauron sigh in his heart.

If nothing else, Welch would have died long ago.

Now he is just a corpse puppet, controlled by Malice.

Sauron took half a step back and looked around.

Except for Welch, the remaining three corpse puppets were also high-ranking knights during their lifetime. They were made into puppets by Malice after death, but they still retained [-]% of their fighting power.

Moreover, the corpse puppet does not feel pain. Under the black robe is a steel armor inlaid on the skin and flesh. It is extremely difficult to break through the defense with ordinary attack methods.

brush!
Sauron held the Broken Star Cross Sword with both hands, and then swung it out vigorously. A corpse puppet was decapitated on the spot, and the headless corpse fell down.

However, the next moment.

call!
The most puppet among the four corpse puppets swung the meteor hammer and roared towards him. Sauron's pupils shrank, and the hand holding the bone wand suddenly exerted force.

"Bone shield!"

Sauron uttered syllables, and a bone shield immediately condensed in front of him.

Bang!
The moment the meteor hammer hit the bone shield, it made a crackling sound.

At the same time, the remaining two corpse puppets quickly attacked.

Sauron stepped back quickly, avoiding the puppet's attack while opening a distance.

In the distance, a trace of coldness flashed in Manlisi's eyes.

Looking at the beheaded corpse puppet, she slowly raised the magic wand in her hand, the ground surged, and two vines like poisonous snakes came out quickly.

Sauron's expression remained unchanged, and he cut off the attacking vines between swings of the sword.

Immediately afterwards, he also raised his wand.

The skeletons controlled by the magic wand attacked and killed Manlis one after another. Although the combat effectiveness of the skeletons was mediocre, they outnumbered them.

"Humph!"

Manlisi snorted coldly, waved her hand, and a corpse puppet immediately came back to protect her.

"Controlling the spirit!"

On the spot, with a thought in Sauron's mind, four wraiths emerged like black mist.

Immediately afterwards, the wraiths went straight to Malice.

"Wraith?"

A trace of solemnity flashed in Manlis's eyes, as if she hadn't thought that the spirit servant who belonged to Pierre was now obeying Sauron.

Immediately, without any hesitation, she waved and released a signal flare.

In the night sky, signal flares bloomed like fireworks.

Manlisi's eyes flickered slightly. She originally thought that she could deal with Sauron with her own strength, but now it seems that it is somewhat difficult.

But fortunately, Manlis still has a back hand.

In the area not far away, [-] northern troops were standing by, waiting for Malice's order at any time.

Even if he is a third-level apprentice, he might not be able to resist the army's crowd tactics.

Unless you are an official wizard, you may still have the power to fight.

Seeing Manlis release the signal flare, Sauron also had thoughts flickering in his mind. It seemed that if he wanted to kill Manlis, he had to make a quick decision.

Immediately, Sauron no longer hesitated.

"The power of a bull!"

He let out a low cry, pouring the strength of a bull into his whole body, then swung his sword to push back the two corpse puppets, and rushed towards Manlis in one step.

"Bone Prison!"

Manlis' face changed slightly, and she immediately raised her wand to use the power of runes.

In the distance, white bones burst out of the ground.

Sauron dodged quickly, but the next moment, the white bones had turned into cages, trapping him in place.

"Shadow Spear!"

Not far away, Manli released the Shadow Spear without hesitation.

brush!
At this time, the tyrant Bakar suddenly appeared, stood in front of Sauron, waved the black hammer in his hand, and blocked the attack of the Shadow Spear.

At the same time, Fire Ghost Brand and Dark Blade Seuss also turned into two clouds of black mist and rushed towards Malice.

Facing the attack of the Wraith Spirit, Manlis' expression remained unchanged.

However, she saw a black crystal on her chest, emitting a dark light, spreading like a tide, and the wraiths at both ends suddenly let out a scream.

In the same place, Manlis remained expressionless.

The wand in her hand rests on the ground, and the black gemstone on her chest emits a dark light, as if it has turned into an invisible shield, isolating all attacks.

In the sky, the crow Lal let out a scream.

Sauron's heart sank. Through the vision sharing ability, he saw an iron armored cavalry roaring towards this side in the wilderness in the distance.

If caught in the siege of the army, even Sauron might be killed by the crowd tactics.

Before being promoted to a full-time wizard, an apprentice's magic power is very limited. If the price is not considered, five hundred cavalry is enough to surround and kill a third-level apprentice.

Of course, the premise is that this third-level apprentice does not choose to escape.

"What? Want to run away with your tail between your legs?"

On the opposite side, a trace of sarcasm flashed in Man Lisi's eyes, and she said quietly: "It doesn't matter, even if you can escape, Night Crow City can't stop the attack of the Western Territory Army!"

"I will make you pay for your stupidity. When Night Crow City is destroyed, it will be the day when my army from the Western Territory slaughters the city!"

Manliss raised her head, a trace of indifference flashed in her eyes.

Sauron was expressionless and was not affected by Malice's words.

The next moment, he jumped up.

After jumping out of the bone prison, two zombie puppets also attacked from left and right. Sauron waved his wand, and the dark soul wave burst out like a fireball.

Immediately afterwards, Sauron went straight to Malice.

brush!
When the Broken Star Cross Sword was swung, the sword energy burst out like ripples, but it failed to break the energy shield around Manlis when it slashed.

"It's useless."

Manliss shook her head, and taunted: "The Dark Star Pendant is a supernatural item refined by Anlia teacher himself, and you want to break it?"

While speaking, Malice waved her wand.

The ground not far away seemed to have turned into a black swamp, and Sauron's legs were stuck in it, and it was difficult to break free for a while.

Malice's eyes lit up.

Faced with such a great opportunity, she naturally wouldn't miss it. Even if she lifted the energy shield, she released a Shadow Spear with a wave.

laugh!
The shadow spear condensed by the dark elements pierced through Sauron's heart in an instant. Manlis frowned, but her expression changed immediately.

But in the black swamp, Sauron's figure disappeared for a while, like a black mist, and gradually disappeared in place.

Immediately, Manlis felt a strong throbbing in her heart.
