Chapter 317: Complete Annihilation

“What-What is it?!” Fire grand magus Marceau exclaimed when she was shocked by the sudden appearance of the fire elite zombie.

After the big-headed fire elite zombie swallowed the flames, he grinned at Marceau, then opened his mouth and spat them all back out. The fire snakes were now no longer under Marceau’s control, and actually churned back over to attack the adventurers.

The low level undead creatures in the surroundings all instinctively retreated in the face of the intense heat. Jumping flames in the shape of lotus flower petals seem to burn continuously on the fire elite zombie’s frame. His deep red armor shot out red light everywhere. When skeletal warriors were hit by even a little spark from it, they were immediately destroyed and turned into dust.

The fire snakes that the fire elite zombie spat out was even more powerful. Not only did it force the adventurers to continuously duck and weave, even the undead creatures needed to retreat. Out of them, the evil knights and hatred knights also sensed a threat, causing them to quickly leave retreat from the incineration of the flames.

“Idiot, you can’t even tell our people apart from enemies!” Han Shuo scolded quietly, then gave another order to the earth elite zombie and wood elite zombie.

The earth trembled and rumbled beneath three swordsmen, with sharp earthen spikes shooting out again. The large tree branches danced crazily in the distance, while the branches became life-reaping arrows that shot towards the team of adventurers.

The fire elite zombie charged towards the three swordsmen like an enormous fire brand, creating waves of intense flames in front of them. The swordsmen’s bodies quickly started burning when even a spark stuck to their bodies.

The evil knight held a large bone spike in its hand and flung it towards the sky. The priest and mages were busy with dealing with the attacks from the branches and thus were unable to avoid the path of the evil knight’s huge bone spike. Han Shuo also released the Demonslayer Edge as arrows filled the sky.

Pitiful howls suddenly sounded through the sky, then instantly stopped. The lives of all of the adventurers, except Marceau’s, had been ended in a few breaths.

Marceau glared at Han Shuo with hatred as she panted. When she noticed that all of her companions had died, she took out a magic scroll and started to chant a long spell.

Intense magical pulses traveled out from the scroll. The space in front of Marceau started to distort until a long and sharp blade formed in the sky. The terrifying spatial movement gathered up a dense amount of magical element, causing rays of blinding light to shoot everywhere.

“Not good, this is the ‘Spatial Edge!’!” A thought flashed across Han Shuo’s mind, causing him to suddenly remember the terrifying and forbidden spatial spell “Spatial Edge”. He was astounded, and immediately chanted out spells in order to send the undead creatures back to the other dimension as he tried to escape the area of effect of the spell.

“Spatial Edge” was a forbidden spell within the area of space. Legend said that it could cut through anything, no matter how durable. Han Shuo never would have thought that Marceau would own a valuable scroll of such a forbidden spell. The moment he felt a long giant blade twist out of space, he immediately retreated at all costs.

A flash of white light around twenty meters long chopped down from the sky. All hard boulders that it passed through, including the black armor of the evil knights that were comparable to metal ores, were cut neatly into two like a piece of tofu. Even towering trees over ten meters tall were snapped after the white light blazed past. A bottomless abyss also opened up in the ground.

Almost a hundred undead creatures were sliced and diced by the light, and completely shattered whenever the light passed over them.

Marceau still held the magic scroll in her hands and was continuing to chant the long incantation. She once again released three rays of white light that were more than ten meters long using the extremely valuable forbidden scroll. More undead creatures were destroyed wherever the white light passed through.

Out of them, one of the flashes of white light instantly sliced towards Han Shuo when it locked onto him from the air. This spatial edge was as fast as lightning, and was on top of Han Shuo in an instant. Marceau was determined to eliminate Han Shuo, so she focused all her attention onto that spatial edge. Due to this, this spatial edge was not only fast, but also accurate, as if it wasn’t going to give Han Shuo a chance to escape.

Using the speed of the Art of the Demonic Ninth Heaven, Han Shuo retreated towards the dense forest behind. During so, he continuously changed directions in an attempt to avoid the spatial edge. However, this spatial edge was actually following him like a shadow beneath Marceau’s commands, and chased Han Shuo no matter how he moved. It seemed like she wouldn’t stop if she didn’t slice Han Shuo apart.

Han Shuo swore silently in his heart, then headed into a swamp. He flew back out as a muddy man with a waver of his body, venturing even further into the depths.

Pfft!

The spatial edge sliced downwards, slicing the muddy Han Shuo in half, then entered deeper into the ground without any decrease in power. It once again create an enormous, bottomless trench.

“Mhmm, he finally died!” Marceau let out a sigh as she panted heavily, then looked at the magic scroll that had expended all of its magic. She murmured with heartbreak, “Ai, he truly is someone hard to deal with, making me waste such a valuable magic scroll!”

Just as Marceau moved her attention to the magic scroll in her hands, a figure covered in mud in the deep trench of sludge and water, moved.

A cold light suddenly flashed past and pierced through Marceau’s body. The huge pain caused Marceau to be a bit confused, but she then saw a figure within the mud move in front of her, revealing Han Shuo as the mud was shook off.

“I wasted another yin demon. This spatial edge is so powerful. It even ripped apart the invisible and formless yin demon!” Han Shuo also said heartbrokenly, then flew towards Marceau. He looted her and the adventurers of all equipment and rings, placing them in his own space ring.

When he arrived in front of Marceau, Han Shuo put away her staff and took away her space ring without hesitation. The fact that Marceau had a forbidden magic scroll meant that she must have been a filthy rich person. A fire grand magus could easily gain prestige and wealth, alongside a noble rank in any country. Marceau was naturally not an exception in the Brut Merchant Alliance.

The entire ground was filled with shattered bones and flesh. A large majority of the undead creatures that Han Shuo summoned had been sliced apart by the spatial edges. On the other hand, the fire, earth, and wood elite zombie had been the first sent to the other dimension, protecting them all timing from the spatial edge’s attacks.

The undead creatures knew no fear. Those that were still alive still stood there, awaiting Han Shuo’s next order. Han Shuo gazed at the scene beneath him as he held Marceau’s space ting. He then took out his skeletal staff to send the undead creatures back to the other dimension.

After doing all that, Han Shuo raised his head and gazed around. He discovered that thanks to the forbidden spell spatial edge, there were enormous trenches in a radius of one thousand and five hundred meters. Towering trees and boulders had all been hacked to pieces. It really was a complete mess.

It was unknown whether it was due to the lack of Marceau’s mental power or the lack of stored magic within the magic scroll, that spatial edge spell had only released thirty percent of its true power. If the complete power had been released, there would have been at least more than twenty flashes of light, and the number might even increase according to the caster’s mental power strength.

If it was casted by a powerful sacred space magus, pretty much all of the living creatures and plants in a small city would be torn to shreds by the spell, as it had a terrifyingly wide area of effect.

As Han Shuo held the space ring that Marceau left behind after her death, he wondered about the method of opening it as he flew casually towards the Cemetery of Death.

During this process, Han Shuo used his remaining yin demon to find that a team of roughly five thousand was stationed outside the Dark Forest. Han Shuo surveyed this team of five thousand and realized out that they were actually a proper troop of knights that had come from the Brut Merchant Alliance. Some of the tents were blocked by magical boundaries as they faintly radiated a powerful aura.

Han Shuo frowned slightly. After surveying them for a while, he thought of Marceau and those adventurers that died in his hand, and suddenly felt that they were with these people.

Marceau was someone of the Brut Merchant Alliance. The three swordsman within the adventures had the same sword and shield pattern on their left shoulder as these knights who were resting. It meant that they must have come from this troop.

The Brut Merchant Alliance was a distance from the Dark Forest. After passing through the Dark Forest, they would arrive directly at Zajoski City on the southwest of the Lancelot Empire. The knights had good equipment, fine warhorses, and some even more powerful experts. It was an unknown why they appeared in the Dark Forest.

After looking around for a bit, Han Shuo was silently shocked by this troop. He noticed that their power was even a bit stronger than how they’d first appeared. The magical pulses from the central tent were intense, with some strange sounds ringing out faintly from it. After Han Shuo released his consciousness, he kept on feeling that there was something amiss inside. After thinking about it, he decided to have a look at what these people planned to do.
