Chapter 571 Escape
Enraged by the Masked Devil's ridiculing laugh, Gregory charged with his full might.
He had no idea why the Masked Man's Phantasm State hadn't ended yet, and he didn't know when it would end. He couldn't continue this type of enduring battle.
'I'm the one who's about to reach the limit... I need to end this quickly!' Gregory gritted his teeth as he realized how incompetent he was.
If it was his older siblings, he knew that they wouldn't struggle against this Masked Devil.
"I know you're tired, Masked Devil! I'll end this now!" Gregory shouted to boost his confidence. He was sure that the heavenly lightning that the devil summoned took a toll on his body.
There was no way he wouldn't receive a backlash from summoning such mighty lightning. nOvelB1n
However, the Masked Devil's preparation had already been completed.
The moment Clovis used his Light Absorption a while ago, he had also moved the corpses on the Airship's Deck!
He had already readied himself for the impending confrontation.
As soon as Clovis saw the opportunity, he released his Spell!
"Behold, Corpse Explosion!"
Clovis chanted, unleashing a series of explosions on the airship's deck.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The surrounding was suddenly filled with deathly energy as the dread invocation of a Necromancer's Spell unfurled.
The corpses weren't triggered at the same time as they heralded a sequence of ominous detonations that reverberated through the airship with resounding force.
"W-what?!"
"Ahh! Help!"
"Save me!"
"My eyes!"
"Get away from the corpses!"
"Use your Spells to defend!"
The unexpected detonations seized the guards and the Prince in a maelstrom of disarray.
They were completely caught off guard in the wake of the ghastly spectacle that unfolded before them. Some of them were thrown away from the blast, and those that were unlucky immediately died.
The grim display of power made them want to surrender and give up any resistance.
As for the other two items, he could only guess. He wanted to inspect them immediately.
However, he didn't have much time to spare.
Several Arcanists were already rushing at him, and his Phantasm State was about to end.
He had to leave quickly!
"You won't get away!"
"Catch him!"
Clovis heard his pursuers as he executed a daring escape from the plummeting airship.
He was spurred by their ominous approach as they seemed to have gone mad the moment he threw the Prince away.
Furthermore, the Arcanists from the two other airships had also started aiming at him...
Initially, he wanted to extract all these people who dared to ambush their squad and try to take the treasures they got in the Vampire Castle.
However, the duration of his Phantasm State had already exceeded forty minutes!
It was such an incredible achievement, and no one would probably believe him if he said this. Of course, this would not be possible without the Obsidian Amulet bestowed upon him by Heinz.
If not for that, he'd probably be on the verge of madness, or according to their professors, he would be taken by the Darkness.
'Levitation...' Clovis muttered.
With a deft command of Levitation, Clovis swiftly navigated his course toward the verdant embrace of the dark forest below.
Then, several targeted spells came at him, but his evasive maneuver made it impossible to get hit!
"What's with this movement technique?"
"How can he move like that while flying?"
"I thought he's a Dark Magician?! That flying skill is not normal!"
"Don't stop! Continue chanting your spells!" The leader of the Arcanists shouted, though he also felt frustrated.
On the other hand, amidst all the strange spells coming at him, Clovis realized that he would get hit soon.
With this in mind, he immediately canceled his Levitation, Lightspeed, and Meridian Access...
Then, he used his powerful Divine Lightning again to stop the other airships from following him!
Boom! Boom!
The bright, powerful lightning bolts caused another chaos and made it easier for Clovis to escape.
As the lightning faded, Clovis disappeared into the darkness...
