Chapter 136: Misu's Response

  The battle had long since unfolded in the distant darkness, where the faint cries of fear and wails of death could already be heard. The night was the world of assassins, where they were not just snakes hiding in the shadows, but reapers of lives with every strike. They were more terrifying than the god of death itself, and they ruled this world. Even powerful undead mages couldn't find the source of the attack in the darkness, let alone defend against the sudden appearance of an icy blade. The assassination by Evan and Xiluo had caused great panic among the retreating undead mages, and the successive cries of alarm made everyone's heart feel cold.

  At last we saw several figures hastily approaching, and judging from their flurried appearance, one could imagine how helpless they were against the lurking assassins in the dark.

  Several vines silently entwined around these people, making their already fragile nerves even more fearful. Natural magic is the nemesis of undead magic, and these people apparently realized what kind of opponent they had encountered.

  An old undead mage shouted something loudly and unknowingly used a spell that instantly destroyed the vine technique cast by Freya. The several undead mages who were entwined finally calmed down, surrounded this undead mage vigilantly on guard, occasionally casting their eyes in our direction.

  "Respected Lord Mitsuha, are you there? I am Lailo, a student of Professor Roy. My teacher asked me to greet you."

  The old undead mage looked over here coldly, his clothes were tattered in several places, and his face was covered with dust. He must have gone through an intense battle to get here. His complexion was somewhat pale, and there was still some blood at the corner of his mouth, apparently he had suffered internal injuries. However, his cold gaze made people still dare not underestimate his existence.

  "All I heard was him calmly opening his mouth and saying, 'Lelouch? Roy's proud disciple? Roy is quite the schemer, sending you to intercept me. It seems he has decided that he will defeat me after all. Lelouch, the people I sent out are probably already at your mercy now, aren't they?"

  Leylo bowed respectfully in that direction, then said: "Respected Lord Misuth, your guess is correct. My teacher asked me to tell you that as long as you are willing to give up resistance, he can ensure that neither you nor your subordinates will be harmed."

  Mi Xiu raised an eyebrow, pushed aside the undead mage in front of him, and walked proudly to our front, looking at Le Lo with a hint of a smile: "Oh? Is there such a good thing? Then what kind of price do I need to pay?"

  "My teacher said that if you are willing, he can let go of your usurpation and not pursue it further, as long as you are willing to take your subordinates and guard the Dark Shadow Rift for a hundred years, and swear an oath to the God of Death to never again participate in any actions related to the Holy Maiden Dolly of the Church." Relo faced this former vice-president with some tension, but he still restrained his body, not letting it tremble even slightly, only his face turned slightly pale. Facing such a top-notch undead mage on the continent of Aichin, anyone would be unable to help but feel tense, even I had a trembling feeling in my heart, and when I glanced at Fure and Dakuru beside me, I found that they were also unusually tense, their faces pale.

  Mi Xiu sneered and shifted his gaze away from Lei Luo, scanning each of us one by one before furrowing his brow and saying: "What's going on? Has your teacher Royi colluded with outsiders to participate in this war as well? When has our Wraith Mage Guild ever needed outsiders to help resolve its own affairs?"

  I suppressed the fear in my heart and said, "We are friends of Lelou, he brought people who died in battle with your people, coincidentally met us crossing this swamp, so invited us to help out."

  Mi Xiu raised her eyes and looked at me, asking: "Who are you?"

  I bowed in the manner of a mage and said: "I am Alik, newly promoted to High Mage in the Floating City."

  Mishu snorted disdainfully and stopped paying attention to me, instead turning his gaze towards Freya: "A person of the Spirit Tribe? Who are you?"

  Frey looked at him coldly and said: "The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan, Frey Vandarl."

  Mi Xiu heard Fure's words and suddenly burst out laughing: "The spirit of the Vandel family? Don't tell me you're here for revenge, that won't work. The nightmare will forever entangle all members of your family, even if the moon god comes, no one can change it."

  Fuli glared at Mixiu fiercely, her lips tightly closed, and didn't say a word.

  "Beastman Empire Shaman Dakuru, in the name of Mother Earth, I challenge you to a duel!" Dakuru let out a loud roar and bared his sharp fangs at Misha.

  Mi Xiu looked at Dakuru calmly and said, "It seems that today is getting more and more interesting. Are you a Shaman? Don't worry, I'll give you the opportunity to challenge me later. But don't forget, your Beastman Empire's Shamans almost became slaves of our Undead Mage Association. If it wasn't for Larson's Losa causing trouble, perhaps the Shaman profession would have disappeared from this world by now."

  I whispered to Dakuru: "What's going on?"

  The color on Dakuru's green-skinned face suddenly deepened, perhaps this was what it meant for a beastman to become flustered. He clenched his fists in anger and whispered: "Many years ago, the Shamanic Priests of the Beastman Empire had once gone to war with the Necromancer Guild. At that time, the Shamanic Priests' overall strength was at an all-time low, several powerful Shamanic Priests had passed away one after another, so we lost. Fortunately, Larsson's Losa Mages led a group of mages into battle and together we managed to drive the Necromancers back into the swamp. At that time, Lord Losa even saved my teacher's life during the battle."

  I suddenly realized and nodded, saying: "I know, Mr. Losa mentioned this to me before, but he didn't say it in detail."

  While Dakuru and I were whispering to each other, Lero spoke up and said to Mito, "So, Lord Mito, what do you mean exactly?" When we heard Lero's words, Dakuru and I stopped talking and looked at Mito.

  Mishu laughed a few times and said, "Although we were defeated in battle, do you think that just the few of you can stop us from leaving? As long as I leave here, recover from my injuries, and bring back reinforcements, I will return to kill all of you. Surrender? Haha, you'll soon see me trampling over your corpses on this road. Wait for your teacher Roy to come and collect your bodies!"
