Chapter 20 - The Ashuta Treaty

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There were only a handful of saint-level powerhouses on the continent.

In the cultivation of mages, it was extremely difficult to break through to every level.

Not to mention the difficulty of becoming a saint-level necromancer. Compared to ordinary elemental mages, it was thousands of times more difficult.

Due to the characteristics of the dark elements, they could kill, corrode, and destroy. They would devour one’s body at all times.

On the Sacred Continent, powerful necromancers were also the mages with the shortest lifespan compared to other mages of the same level.

However, there was no doubt that once one entered the saint level, they could sweep across the same realm. There were pros and cons.

This mysterious necromancer was able to interrupt their resonance. Was this not the ability of a saint-level powerhouse?

Once one broke through to the saint level, they would be able to form a magic domain. Within the domain, one would be a god.

Kent and Kentley were already dumbfounded.

However, Chris’s next words struck a nerve in Kent.

“Senior, what other elves?”

Kent gritted his teeth and refused to admit it. If they admitted it, it would be equivalent to an outright breach of the Ashuta Treaty. They could not afford such a great label.

The Ashuta Treaty was jointly signed by the three major forces: The Elves, the Ten Human Kingdoms, and the Orc Kingdom.

If anyone violated the treaty, they would be punished by the other two forces. Even if they died, they would not admit it.

It was a crime that exterminated nine families.

“Is that so?”

Chris cast a dark magic element.

The black gas entered the bodies of the two. They immediately screamed, as if they were being bitten by ten thousand ants.

“Ahhhh!”

Chris looked at them coldly as they violently thrashed about on the ground. The black gas would not turn them into undead creatures but would cut their meridians.

It was worse than death.

“Ah, senior. Please spare me. Let me go.”

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything…”

Kenley shouted. The pain was so immense that he could no longer bear it.

Chris immediately withdrew his spell. The two of them half-knelt on the ground, already drenched in sweat.

However, at this moment, the two of them suddenly threw out a magic array. They stood on each side, and powerful magic elements vibrated around them.

They frantically merged the array and gradually formed a wild beast in the sky. It opened its bloody mouth and roared, its power overwhelming the sky.

“Haha, this is the magic array that the two of us paid a huge price to obtain. It is said that we can even kill a sorcerer. You are dead.”

The two laughed wildly. A saint-level powerhouse?

They would not believe it.

Perhaps he had some magic treasure on him that could cut off the magic resonance.

Saint-level powerhouses were all existences that ruled over a region on the Sacred Continent.

Why would they come to this remote place of the elves?

Chris shook his head. If that was the case, then they should just die.

The new magic form created from the fusion of life magic and dark magic floated in the sky and slowly approached the magic array.

“Just like this, you wish to break our array. How naive.”

Seeing that Chris’s magic ball was only the size of a water droplet, there was not even the slightest fluctuation in the surroundings.

Kent laughed out loud.

However, he was not careless. He poured all of his magic cultivation into the array.

A moment passed.

Just as the magic water droplet was about to touch the mad beast, it suddenly exploded into the void, forming a black hole that devoured everything.

This black hole was deep and dark. The beast that had gone berserk just a second ago seemed to have been thrown into the sea, not causing a single splash.

“Gah!”

Kent was dumbfounded.

Kenley was also flabbergasted.

The two of them froze on the spot, and then let out a furious roar. This was impossible.

To obtain this array, the two of them had paid a huge price. As they were blood brothers, their minds were linked.

This array could maximize the power of the two and with it, they had killed high-level mages.

Even beginner sorcerers had been defeated before.

However, even such a powerful array failed to stir up a single wave in the hands of this necromancer.

After they reacted, they felt a deep fear toward the strength of this mysterious person.

They hurriedly knelt on the ground, but Chris had already lost his patience and simply killed Kenley.

This scene frightened Kent incredibly. Under Kent’s shocked gaze, Chris pressed his palm against his head.

“Devouring spell…”

This was a skill that Chris had acquired from the Codex of the Undead. Not only could it devour a person’s magic cultivation, but it could also devour their memories.

As the magic worked, Chris extracted Kent’s memories and captured the scene.

There was a magic camp ten miles away from here. In one of the camps, the elves were all locked up.

Moreover, they were preparing to move tonight.

From this information, Chris knew that there were no less than ten teams like them.

All of them belonged to the Sky Eagle Empire.

The Sky Eagle Empire belonged to the Ten Great Human Kingdoms, and their overall strength was ranked at the bottom.

After obtaining the memories, Chris killed Kent and rushed toward the magic camp.

Through the memories, he also knew why they could not find the missing elves. It was because the magic camp was surrounded by high-level isolation arrays.

In addition, the terrain of the valley was complicated, which made it difficult to search and rescue.

…

Just after Chris left, the elven high-ranking officials arrived at the scene.

They all felt a surge of magic elements gathering wildly in this place.

Not long after, it disappeared again.

“The elf patrol team was right. There are indeed remnants of dark magic elements here.” The Elf Queen frowned.

However, the aura of the dark elements here was too faint. Instead, it resembled more of a rampage-type magic element, somewhat similar to the rampage attribute of the Orcs.

“Elder Wharton, what do you think?”

Beside her, Wharton’s face was also solemn.

Wharton looked at the corpses of the two brothers and discovered the damaged magic array. His frown deepened.

“The power of the necromancer who saved Dean and the others can not be underestimated,” Wharton said.

“From the outburst of magic elements just now, the power at that time had already reached the level of a sorcerer, and it was also a rampage attribute magic.”

“But the dark aura here is extremely rare, which means that this necromancer is very powerful and can easily suppress the power of the array.”

“It just so happened that the attack of the array was neutralized. There was no more, nor was there any less power. This precise control is quite terrifying.”

“Yes.”

As a Level 9 Archmage, Elder Wharton was only one step away from reaching the saint level. He knew that he could not achieve such terrifying control.

The Elf Queen nodded, agreeing with Elder Wharton’s point of view.

She now had a question. Why would this powerful necromancer help the elves?

What was the other party’s goal?
