A high-level Necromancer, one person is equivalent to an army.
This statement is not wrong, and to some extent, a Necromancer is more troublesome than an army because the undead he summons do not have morale or fatigue; they can fight endlessly.
However, if a Necromancer is alone, there is one thing that is unavoidable: he must watch this war with his own eyes, and the caster cannot be too far away.
If there were other people, he could find a hidden place, and the situation on the battlefield would be reported to him by others, but...
He didn't have any subordinates, so he had to keep an eye on the battlefield at all times to prevent any accidents.
This also gave Kaede an opportunity, an opportunity to directly assassinate the leader of the undead.
Kaede wove through the undead, treating them as nothing, and the undead also seemed unable to see Kaede.
So, the thing about undead is that sometimes they aren't very useful; to Kaede, who hadn't revealed a shred of aura, they were just moving pieces of wood.
As long as you don't reveal the aura of a living being, they won't attack you. Of course, this is in the case where there is no precise control from the mastermind behind the scenes.
And at this moment, what they had here was an army of undead. Want precise control? Perhaps if that Necromancer had truly stepped into the Domain of God, it would still be a slight possibility.
Therefore, very quickly, Kaede passed through this army of undead, her figure moving quietly.
She couldn't continue to be so brazen from now on. Kaede understood very well that even if that Necromancer's body was fragile, it was still a genuine Level 5.
If she wasn't careful, she might not even know how she died.
"Hahaha! Anyone who dares to block my path to godhood deserves to die, they all deserve to die!!" The Necromancer looked at Mo Xue, who was being completely suppressed by the Player Undead, and couldn't help but laugh wildly, as if he saw the path to godhood right before his eyes.
When a person's spirit reaches its most excited state, they often ignore the surrounding environment and the sense of crisis that is not quite strong.
In short, this was Kaede's best opportunity.
No matter how one looked at it, Kaede had no reason to waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so Kaede made her move.
She didn't choose to use her most powerful move, but instead used her fastest move.
This move was the gift that the teacher, who didn't seem like a teacher, left for her at the end with his life, named: Draw-Blade Slash.
Its principle was very simple: drawing the blade and the slash.
However, the effect produced by different people is absolutely different. Just like the current Kaede, the moment the blade left its sheath, the blade body transformed into a stream of light, leaving trails of afterimages in the space, and finally slashed toward the Necromancer's neck.
The speed of the slash was unbelievable.
Just when Kaede thought she had succeeded, the blade was only a centimeter away from the Necromancer's neck.
The Necromancer suddenly moved, rolling to the side in a very ugly tumble; the posture was extremely unsightly, but there was no denying that he had dodged Kaede's fatal blow.
"Is this... LV5?" Kaede gritted her teeth; despite the favorable timing, location, and circumstances, she had still failed.
However, even so, she could not give up. Since she had failed as an assassin, she would try as a warrior.
"LV2?" At this moment, the Necromancer also saw Kaede's appearance, his eyes flickering strangely, followed by a look of astonishment.
He was truly surprised. He possessed LV5-level danger perception, but even so, he had only sensed the danger at the very last moment!
He touched the knife mark on his neck, from which some gray liquid flowed; looking at his dry skin, it didn't seem like he had much blood.
Moreover, the cut was not deep, though not too shallow either, which made Kaede feel a bit troubled, as she didn't understand if that was his fatal point.
The Necromancer she saw with her eyes had almost no fatal points—not that there weren't any, but she couldn't see them because her own weakness limited her observation.
However, one thing was certain: the heart was definitely his weakness, specifically the strange right atrium. Kaede hadn't understood at first why there was no weakness on the left side, but on the right...
That must be it; she had seen right atria before and had killed more than one or two, but they were so rare that Kaede hadn't reacted at first.
"Damn it, another heavenly prodigy! Bastard!" While the Necromancer was happy to have escaped a disaster, he was also extremely furious; he had almost died!
And it was always like this; they were all heavenly prodigies, heaven's favorites, who could never understand the pain of being unable to improve one's own strength.
Damn it, bastard, heaven's favorite—if you died and became my puppet, that would be fine!
Kill her, kill!
Rage clouded the Necromancer's mind; he didn't even notice the bell at Kaede's waist swaying, emitting a series of strange sounds.
Although she didn't know why her Illusory Demon Bell Sound had such a great influence on him, Kaede did not intend to let such an opportunity pass.
In a flash, she arrived in front of the Necromancer and slashed down.
Although the Necromancer was angry, he did not forget that he was a mage and had no intention of engaging in close-quarters combat with Kaede.
Moreover, Kaede's slash was very simple, and the Necromancer felt he could dodge it; in fact, his speed was faster than Kaede's, after all, he was LV5.
Watching the Necromancer dodge, Kaede was not surprised; on the contrary, her eyes revealed a look of "as expected."
As a LV5, even if only his magic power reached that level, and even if his speed was poor, he was still faster than Kaede.
Judging by the speed the Necromancer currently displayed, it was far inferior to Mo Xue's, at most LV3.
Of course, he was still faster than Kaede, but what made Kaede happy was not that, but the Necromancer's clumsy dodging movements, which were full of flaws and painful to watch.
If she couldn't win against such an opponent, to put it plainly, what face would she have to stand tall in the future?
Of course, Kaede knew the other party was a mage, so she hadn't given him any time to cast spells from the beginning. Wanting to dodge her attack and then find time to cast a spell?
A strange curve appeared at the corner of Kaede's mouth, her scarlet eyes flickering.
"Sorry, you won't even have one second to cast a spell!"
With a flick of her wrist, the blade rotated in an arc, and then slashed at the Necromancer again at a strange angle.
Of course, the Necromancer dodged again, and Kaede pursued him once more.
Back and forth, although the Necromancer's movements looked very disgraceful, there was no denying that he had truly dodged everything.
However, the anger accumulating in the Necromancer's eyes grew stronger and stronger, as if it would burst out at any moment.
As for Kaede, she felt a bit helpless; this battle felt like she was using a big knife to chop at a mosquito...
No, Kaede was confident that even if it were a mosquito, she could solve it with one slash, but this one in front of her couldn't be given even a moment of time, and the knife in her hand couldn't stop for an instant.
Although every slash was fatal, with the best angle and feel, and ordinary people would have no way to dodge, but...
Kaede felt that this Necromancer was also undead; the blade didn't cut deep and was basically useless...
Helpless, helpless, that was how Kaede felt.
Little did she know, if others saw that she had forced a LV5 to such a point, they would probably be dumbfounded.
However, in the next moment, Kaede had a very bad premonition, and looking at the magic power surging from the Necromancer's body, her eyes began to contract violently.
When exactly did this happen?!
Regardless, Kaede slashed again, trying to stop him, but it seemed she was a step too late, as a white bone claw blocked Kaede's blade.
"Hehe!" The Necromancer laughed at this moment; this was great, everything was over. He had used his lifespan as a price to summon his undead.
It was the skeleton of a flood dragon, which he had discovered by accident, and its strength had barely reached LV4; dealing with a mere LV2 was still easy.
Is lifespan important? Of course it is, but, ah, as long as he succeeded this time, there would be a great chance to break through to LV6 and reach the Domain of God; at that time, would he lack lifespan?
For so many years, he had never heard of a LV6 dying of old age!
"Haha, hahahaha!!!" He laughed crazily there.
Looking at the triumphant Necromancer and the flood dragon slowly emerging from the magic circle, Kaede's expression became exceptionally grave.
However, Kaede's scarlet eyes were still flickering.
This is also fine, also fine; this way, there would be no need to remain in that stalemate like before, and no need to experience that feeling of frustration.
Is the outcome decided? No! The battle of victory and defeat has only just begun from this moment!
At this moment, there was a strange phosphorus fire in each of the Bone Dragon's eyes. Under the illumination of these two phosphorus fires were the Necromancer's wild laughter and the sound of the wind blowing, mixed with the strange ringing of the bell.
