Chapter 652 Magnus

Chapter 652 Magnus

Magnus knew that he was at a disadvantage against the Pontiff, but he refused to admit defeat.

"You're incredibly strong... However, it's not every day that I get to meet a strong opponent like you. I will not fall so easily! Entertain me!" Magnus roared as he used one of the Arcane Paths that he hadn't fully mastered. It was the Dark Arts.

Well, if Vale hadn't extracted his Cursed Flame, he would've certainly used that Alchemy Art and had a good fight against the Pontiff.

Nevertheless, this allowed him to focus on other Arcane Paths!

This time, he decided to use his Dark Spells, hoping to gain an edge over his opponent. After all, his Dark Spells were the best when dealing with multiple targets.

Magnus chanted a series of words, and summoned a swarm of black crows.

"Kill them all!"

He commanded them to fly towards the Pontiff and the Storm Knight. They weren't too powerful but could peck and scratch with their sharp beaks and claws. Furthermore, they weren't easy to kill with lightning attributes.

They were perfect to use against these Arcanists.

"Night Crows? That's futile!"

The Pontiff saw the crows coming, and he waved his scepter.

He created a barrier of water that blocked the crows from reaching him. It didn't protect the Storm Knights, but he wasn't worried about them since they were all equipped with helmets and armor that had Runes imbued to them.

They should be able to defend themselves for some time.

He then gathered his Divinity sent out a shockwave of Divine Wind Energy that dispersed the crows and turned them into feathers!

Whoooshh~

They were killed so easily! However, Magnus was not deterred by this. He knew very well that his opponent was a Half-Immortal.

He chanted another series of words, and conjured a cloud of Dark Mist. He spread it over the area, and tried to blind and suffocate the Pontiff and the Storm Knights!

Magnus wanted to command his controlled beasts around the castle to attack the group of intruders but he stopped himself from doing so.

'Tsk... I can only use my scepter 5 more times... This is getting more and more annoying.' The Pontiff remarked as he swung his scepter and created a whirlwind!

He blew away the Dark Flames and removed the Dark Mist! However, he spent a huge amount of Divinity to make this work!

Nevertheless, this action finally exposed Magnus!

Marcus III could see that Magnus was also reaching his limit! Without hesitation, he charged at him and used his robe's brilliance spell to blind Magnus for a brief moment!

Then, he opened his palm and activated his glove's Drain Touch!

He only needs to grab Magnus to end this farce!

However, Magnus wasn't affected by the Robe's Brilliance Spell. With his Light Absorption Spell, he easily avoided getting caught off guard.

Then, he saw the Pontiff rushing at him, and he clenched his teeth.

Hell Chain!

He summoned a searing chain of dark metal!

He aimed the chain at the Pontiff and tried to bind him!

The Pontiff saw the chain flying at him, and he smirked.

"That's futile!"

He caught the chain with his hand and pulled it! He was actually unaffected by the Hell Chain! He dragged Magnus towards him and then smashed him with his scepter!

Boom!

Magnus felt the impact of the scepter, and he coughed up blood.

The man fell to the ground, and he groaned in pain.

He had used a lot of Arcane Energy in that bout, but he had failed to defeat the Pontiff and lost the battle.
