We must kill him right here!Both Watson and the Hewet had the same thought running through their minds. Killing intent emerged from both of their eyes, and next instant, both spurred towards Abium. Like a flash of a bolt, both appeared only two feet away from him, leaving blurring images behind.
Abium, on the other hand, was now facing against Bilet while gave a simple glance at the map coldly snorted.
Swish!
Both of Watson"s and Silver knight"s sword imbued with intermediate sword aura made a whistling sound and spurred towards his nape.
Humph.
Without even glancing back at them, Abium quickly ducked his head and slashed his sword towards the remaining elite skeletons in front of him.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Watson"s and Hewet"s sword only managed to cut the air leaving empty air gust behind.
At the same time, with a swift movement, Abium"s sword cut through those white bones and decapitated two of those skeletons.
Both Watson and Hewet pulled their swords in a surprised expression and thrust their swords directly towards Abium"s back with a full force.
"Blink!"
But before their swords could pierce through Abium"s body, Abium disappeared from Watson"s, and Hewet"s sights then reappeared behind that Bilet necromancer with a grin on his face.
Zing!
Once again, both of their swords only managed to slice through the empty air, which caused both of them to frown.
Abium, on the other hand, directly looked at Bilet"s back and lunged his sword without delay. Although this time, the remaining single death knight came in-between the sword to block that attack, Abium didn"t make waver.
Hum!
He took a deep breath and jumped upward with full force then directly landed his right foot on that death knight"s head.
Crack! His forceful landing almost caused that death knight"s head to break.
The next instant, he made a front flip then landed in front of that necromancer while swiftly turning his body towards Bilet. In the next moment, Abium"s lips curved upward as his sword directly pierced towards Bilet"s chest.
Puch!
His sword covered in the scarlet aura stabbed right through Bilet"s heart.
Scarlet blood splattered everywhere on the ground, but Bilet necromancer appears not affected by stab; instead, he smiled back at Abium.
What the h.e.l.l? Did he not feel any pain?
Abium instantly felt his hair stand on end as he saw Bilet"s wicked smiling face. Everyone"s eyes widened in horror.
"Got you!"
Bilet spoke in a cold tone while trying to grab Abium"s right hand using his right hand, which had multiple rune letters written on it.
Danger!
Abium felt warning signs echoed inside his mind like a loud horn. He tried to back away but noticed Watson and Hewet already trying to attack him from behind him.
If I got touched by that hand, then I will face some curse like effect. Abium"s face covered in cold sweats as he muttered to himself.
Without wasting, he once again teleported from the place and reappeared behind Bilet and swiftly decapitated that remaining death knight.
Swoosh! Zing!
He once again thrust his sword that covered with scarlet aura towards Bilet"s nape.
Puch!
The sharp sword tip directly penetrated that Bilet"s skull and the reappeared on the front side.
But Abium didn"t stop there and once again slashed that apprentice necromancer"s nape and swiftly decapitated his head.
Both Bilet"s head and the body fell on the ground leaving a loud thud.
Following that, Abium quickly rolled away from that place before a fire-elemental blast came from Watson and burned the area along with that head of that apprentice necromancer, leaving only an empty skull behind.
"That was close!" Abium muttered out loud and cast a blink spell.
As his figure starting to disappear, Hewet"s sword cut through the air, making a whizzing sound. It all happened in three seconds that caused Watson and the silver knight Hewet to halt their movement.
"Is this the help that the mage you are proudly talking about gave us? He died so quickly. Tsk." Hewet clicked his tongue as he spoke in an annoying tone while Watson kicked that lifeless body with anger. Once Watson confirmed no response came from that body, he sighed helplessly. He hadn"t thought this necromancer would die that quickly.
This guy really died without allowing us to attack.
Soon, both of them shifted towards Abium, who stood 10 meters away with a grim expression on their faces. Abium also saw the necromancer was completely died for good and breathed out a sigh of relief. He knew that necromancer would be the toughest opponent of all of them if he had some more undead skeletons.
In a blink, Abium noticed elemental wind energy around the surroundings, and that silver knight moved towards him with more faster than before.

At the same time, a thundering roaring noise caused Abium to frown deeper as he activated the seer"s intuition spell subconsciously.
No danger? He startled and thought something was wrong with the spell as he shifted his watched that silver knight who already appeared 2 meters away from his left side.
Movement type of skill. He could barely be able to capture that silver knight"s movement speed and became restless.
The next moment, Abium saw that silver knight"s figure arrived behind him at an unimaginable speed and instinctively turned back. At the same time, Abium was about to cast "Dark Bind" spell, and he noticed a flash of light blinding everyone.
Sizzzzz!
A bolt of blue lightning appeared from the sky in a blink and instantly fell on to that silver knight"s head, leaving behind a thundering noise.
The next second, that bolt of lightning almost burned that silver knight"s body and leaving a charred body behind. Both Watson and Abium stunned at the sudden change and almost forgot they were battling.
Something is not right! That was the first thought that came to Abium"s mind as he saw that barely breathing silver knight on the ground.
Pant! Pant!
"Azolla, did you notice something odd about that lightning?" Abium asked with puzzlement.
"No, kid. It must be a coincidence." A reply came, which made his mind to calm down.
At the same time, he glanced back at the other group members and noticed they already finished their battle and appeared to be in a daze due to the sudden lightning.
Abium quickly cast those uneasy feelings and shifted his gaze towards Watson, who was now standing with wide-opened eyes a few meters away. He could see there was a slight nervousness that appeared on his face and spoke with a forced smile on his face.
"So, shall we finish our game, Watson?"
Cough!
"Of course! That"s the reason I came here anyway." Watson said while looking at others with little confusion. He could identify most of them, and soon his sight landed on Claude. Next instant, his eyes squinted sharper and cast a questionable gaze towards Abium.
"Well, I saved them." Abium gave him a short answer and spurred forward to thrust his short sword towards Watson"s heart.
Clang!
"But I never saw an elf in the Roseglen city during the last two years." Watson blocked his attack and backed away with a vigilant expression on his face. There were too many puzzles, which made him more restless.
"Who are you?" Watson asked in a grave tone.
"Haha, do you believe me if I say I worked as a servant in that Viscount"s house?" Abium asked with a chuckle.
"As if I would buy such a blunt lie?" Watson snorted and started attacking Abium faster.
Clang! Clang. Clang!
Within a few seconds, both exchanged their blows, and sparks flew everywhere whenever their sword meet.
"Why are you so persistent about killing me?" Abium asked. Except for that unexpected encounter in the Baxbron woods, both didn"t have any bad history. Also, it was their fault to try to kill him when they first met him.
"Of course, I do hold a little grudge for what you did to me in the woods. But this time, I came after your head because it"s an order from the above."
Order, huh!
As Abium was started recalling the order of the dead member organization, he quickly noticed Watson threw a knife coated with poison towards him.
This guy is really like Viscount Gauvain — like a snake, waiting for a perfect opportunity to attack.
"Playing tricks again?" Abium quickly teleported behind Watson while evading that knife and thrust him from the other side. Meanwhile, Watson made a swift slash and parried.
"So, who is the client? Is it viscount or the Order of the dead members you are working for?"
"Hm? Yes, It"s from that order of the dead members. They send us here to kill you if not at least probe your strength."
Abium head becomes more confused.
"Are they trying to cause chaos in the upcoming n.o.ble gathering that crown prince is going to arrange?" He curiously asked while observing Watson"s expression. Soon, Watson"s appearance went stiffened up and nodded. Well! Watson didn"t expect this Half-elf, no this elf wound already aware of the organization"s plan.
"But why are they targeting me? I didn"t show my support to anyone, right?" Abium knitted his eyebrows.
"Hah, Did you forgot what happened during the banquet? Everyone saw you, and Crown prince acted like life long friends. So, of course, we are also suspicious about that, and your appearance in the Baxbron woods made everything very clear." Abium loss for words at Watson"s and the organization"s judgment.
I never thought the secret organization would be this bad at intelligence gathering.
He did give them some hard time in baron Auguinare"s territory and Baxbron woods.
They are thinking of me as crown prince lackey. Well, for now, I will deal with him.
Abium took a few steps backward as his breath grew ragging.
"Let"s finish this." Watson finished his speaking, and then a raging red flame started to form around his body. Soon, that flame started to cover around that intermediate sword aura and developed into a flame sword.
"Come! I know you haven"t battle against me seriously all this time."
Abium sighed with a helpless smile and dashed forward. Although his speed was less when compared to Watson, Abium was more proficient with the sword skills.
Once he arrived in front of Watson, the red aura slowly started to form into a deep crimson color for a split second.
It was a skill that could slice apart even a diamond with a single slash.
Quickly, the sword began to vibrate a little, and Abium slashed toward at Watson"s neck. Following instant, a crimson blade-like aura appeared around his sword and went towards Watson"s neck.
It easily cut through Watson"s red flame blade, then went directly towards Watson"s neck. The Next second, that Crimson color aura blade went inside Watson"s throat, leaving a trail of blood behind.
Thud! Thud!
Both Watson"s head and the body fell on the ground with a simple slash. Abium glanced at Watson"s smiling face and sheathed his short-sword to his scabbed and walked ahead. If Watson hadn"t come after Abium, with his talent in the understanding of sword art and cultivation, he could have achieved many things in the future.
Well, he chose the wrong opponent and the wrong side.
His eyes shifted to the unconscious silver knight and pondered.
"What should I do with him? He could tell that knight still didn"t die after being struck by a bolt of lightning and appears to be recovering at a fast speed. He quickly grabbed that unconscious Hewet and shifted his gaze towards behind. There he saw four knights were wounded all over their bodies and on the verge of collapsing down. Meanwhile, Helena, Sara, Lily, Kuran, Claude, and other soldiers completely surrounding them. Only then, his sight fell on the vines that crept towards those knights" feet and surprised.
Helena is also progressing well.
"That"s enough!" He said and walked towards the group while carrying Hewet on his shoulder.
"Abi! What to do with them?" Helena now emitting full of killing intent after she found out they were after her sister and waited for his orders.
"Ha! I knew you would hate this, but these guys are just following orders. Well, will kill the real culprit during the next journey to the capital, okay?"
"Humph. Let"s see." She quickly sheathed her dagger and walked ahead. Meanwhile, Abium threw that unconscious Hewet towards those knights and said.
"Tell your lord; I will personally visit him if he once again sends anyone after that fairy. got it?" Everyone nodded their heads and soon grabbed that Hewet and ran towards the west while Abium"s group marched forward towards the abandoned tunnel. Soon, raindrops started to fall from the sky and wholly covered the remaining dead bodies in the water.
A few minutes later, the headless Bilet necromancer"s body shook a little, and slowly, a magic rune circle that appeared in that apprentice necromancer Bilet"s hand started to shine!
