Chapter 653 Dragon Summoner
?"You will be a good vessel for a Fallen Messenger." Marcus III muttered after defeating Magnus.
He was certainly not planning to let Magnus go after what he had done to his group.
However, Marcus III suddenly felt something off.
A threatening aura that was coming from the castle was cast on him.
Then, his gaze shifted upward to the castle wall, where a mysterious figure stood. He only noticed this figure now, and he seemed to be silently observing their battle from the very beginning.
'What can you do when you're far away? I will take this rude bastard's life, and no one can stop me!'
Fueled by his annoyance about being forced to use his scepter several times, the Pontiff sought to bring an end to Magnus' life, intending to destroy his soul and preserve its body.
However, before he could act, the figure above the wall made a subtle gesture, and with a wave of their hand, Magnus vanished from view, leaving the Pontiff astonished by the mysterious display of power.
Marcus III had been a Pontiff for more than five decades already, and although he had strong Arcanists, he would be able to easily see through their Spells because of his Divinity.
However, the technique that made Magnus disappear was completely new to him. He only felt a slight fluctuation of energy, and the man who was about to die disappeared in the blink of an eye.
'Space Folding? No, it was too quick and simple... Is it that Concealment Spell from the Lord of the Secrets?' Marcus III was deep in his thoughts as he looked at the figure standing at the castle wall.
Puzzled by the enigmatic magic that had whisked Magnus away, the Pontiff found himself unable to comprehend the nature of the strange sorcery that had been wielded against him.
Then, he used his spell to inspect the man looking at him.
"I can't feel your Divinity... However, I can sense your incredible strength... Are you the Dragon Summoner?" The Pontiff inquired, seeking to unravel the mystery of the figure's identity and intentions.
In response, the figure offered a cryptic smile, choosing not to verbally confirm their identity as the Dragon Summoner.
Luckily, although the Mummy King was formidable, it was still considered as an Undead.
The Pontiff used his own Scepter to counter some of Mummy King's spells. This, he finally decided to cast his Holy Arts and used Sanctify and Holy Smite against the Mummy King!
As a Half-Immortal, he had actually learned four Arcane Paths. They were the Mystic Arts, Elemental Arts, Psychic Arts, and Holy Arts!
His Holy Spells, however, didn't stop the Mummy King's attack, but it certainly slowed it down.
The Storm Knights used their weapons and mounts to assist the Pontiff and attack the Mummy King. They used swords and spears while some of the Summoners sent their contracted beasts.
Without a doubt, they posed a threat to the Summoner and the Mummy King...
However, the mysterious and silent Summoner seemed to be enjoying this battle.
He used his Grimoire to control the Mummy King, and summoned more creatures! He actually summoned a Dark Knight and Ghoul Sovereign!
"Impossible! Three Mystical beings at the same time?!"
"How can he summon them and not pass out!"
"This guy... Does he have the same amount of Spirit Strands with His Holiness?!"
"Impossible... Are you telling me that he also has 70 or more Spirit Strands?!"
"Not good! We're definitely fighting against a Half-Immortal!"
"Just support the Holiness! This is out of our league! Even if we have to sacrifice our lives, we must do it! We have to protect His Holiness!"
The Storm Knights had almost given up, but their captain immediately brought them together.
Of course, the Pontiff had a plan and wasn't deterred after seeing two more powerful summons.
He still hasn't spent all his Divinity. He still had over half of it and was saving most of it once he faced the True Immortal.
Nonetheless, he knew that the Summoner was the key to the battle and that he had to defeat him first. The Summoner was hiding behind the Mummy King, and once his plan worked, that black Grimoire would be his!
