307 Chapter 307

To deal with such a dangerous technique that cast illusions, the shadow lurker decided to sacrifice its body and trade blow for blow and that's why it ignored the blazing spear attack to launch an attack of his own. It refused to believe the blue scaled lizardman will be capable of withstanding more punishment after enduring Aldora's explosive attacks in the past.

Luckily for the beast, Kalos had plans of his own and chose to cover for the demon beast by placing a spatial gate where the attack. The duo was almost assured of dealing a critical blow to the lizardman, after which they will proceed to finish him off and then search for Francis and Diana to carry out their master's commands. But things don't always turn out the way we expect.

Puff!

The moment the shadow lurkers blazing green fists reached Ahika, the lizard man turned into a big cluster of smoke before dispersing alongside his blazing blue spear. His sudden disappearance left the duo stunned just long enough for the shadow lurker to feel a scorching weapon pierce through its scales and defenses like butter. Before it could even react to the pain it felt, the scorching blue spear had already dug deep into his body, sticking out from the other side of its body.

"Damn magic beast… You are quite smart and quick-witted in battle… This explains why the death s mage favors you and nurtured you up to this level" Ahika who was standing right behind the beast spoke those words with a sincere feeling of admiration blazing in his eyes. He regretted the fact he had to fight a magic beast that had ascended through the level of other normal magic beasts to become a being worthy of the death mage.

"Bastard lizard!" Kalos was enraged by the shameless tactics Ahika was making use of in battle but he hated the fact that he couldn't harm the beast unless the beast tried to harm him.

"Go to sleep old man… I believe it has been a really stressful day for you" Ahika yanked his mouth open abruptly and blue flames began gathering in it, crashing on each other like tidal waves on a stormy night.

In response, Kalos quickly prepared a spatial gate, waiting for Ahika to release the attack. He could tell this Ahika was the real one especially since he was still gripping the spear which was currently making the shadow lurker suffer. The stronger the flames rolling in Ahika's mouth grew the more excited the spatial mage become. The thought of knocking out the lizardman just in one move excited the undead. It simply meant he could end this pointless battle sooner than expected. 

His train of thought soon crumbled when his sixth sense kept screaming danger before Kalos could pinpoint what was wrong something hard struck him, drilling through his undead body and successfully leaving a massive hole on his chest. Ahika's tail soon became visible after the successful attack, leaving Kalos dazed for a second.

How could he have missed this?

Instantly a small orb of blue flame appeared in the gaping hole on Kalos' chest, preventing is injuries from healing. Only now did Kalos panic! A being capable of stopping an undead's healing factor simply means he or she is capable of killing it. That's exactly why light mages have always been the bane of undead creatures. Their ability to render their healing factor inactive grants them the ability to keep destroying their body until there is nothing left and with this, their tainted soul will also be destroyed.

"Stay still for me!" Ahika's indifferent face sent chills down Kalos' spine as he began searching for a way to flee with Aldora and the shadow lurker.

The next second, countless blazing blue chains erupted from the blue ball and proceeded to bind Kalos, quickly draining him of all his strength.

"Blazing blue flames: Fiery bounds of hell" Ahika said softly as he pulled out the spear from the shadow lurkers chest, creating a similar but bigger blue orb in the around its chest area from which massive blazing blue chains erupted, holding down the beast while also robbing it of its mobility.

"Fortunately for you all, I have no intention of killing any of you and making the death mage my sworn enemy… you have seen what I can do… I only wish to protect those who will protect this empire from the invaders… In my opinion, Francis and Diana are still needed so they are under my protection… As for the nobles of the empire, I have no reason to protect them… that's why I didn't stop your forces when they attempted to leave…" Ahika said while shooting Aldora who had returned to his normal form a glance. 

Even for an undead, he looked miserable and exhausted, it was obvious that Ahika had worn the undead out. Even the holes on his chest caused by the blazing spear attacks remained there, healing at a very slow rate. At first, they were stunned by this but then they found it reasonable. They were aware of the fact that this planet they live in is a god vein and the hosts were the candidates chosen by the planet to become the new gods. If the other gods had no way of countering the death god's necromancy powers wouldn't that make it the strongest and ultimately destroy the balance?

The thought of Ahika being able to counter Derik's abilities sent chills down their spine and they finally realized his words were not false. Only if Derik and Cyrus join hands will they be able to subdue him, should they fight one on one, their chances of victory and defeat was 50:50.

"And do you think my master will let this slide when he returns? Do you think he will let the nature mage and the moon cosmic spirit host live after everything they did? You are only prolonging the inevitable" Aldora sneered.

"I think he will forget about them for my sake… and if he doesn't… I'll be forced to kill your master" Ahika said nonchalantly
