Skeleton King

"Ace Neumann," Ace replied.

It was really a calm but restless night.Ludwig IV's eyes were mixed with extremely complicated emotions such as shock and disbelief, but he returned to calm after a while.

Ace once imagined the scene when he met Ludwig IV. It might be at an ordinary banquet in the Pansy Palace, or it might be that Ludwig IV’s cronies came to find Ai quietly. Si, take him to see Ludwig IV.What Ace didn't expect was that this meeting would come so unexpectedly.

"You." Ludwig IV was about to talk to Ace when there were chaotic footsteps outside the bedroom.

The guards from the Pansy Palace arrived late, and when the knight commander in the palace reported and pushed open the door of Ludwig IV’s bedroom, there was no one in the bedroom except Ludwig IV and the strange corpse on the ground. Others exist.

Ace hid behind the fireplace, and after making sure that Ludwig IV was safe, he quietly left the bedroom and wanted to return to the banquet hall.

There is still a long distance from the banquet hall, but Ace's way back is not as smooth as when he came, there are faint footsteps following Ace.The person who came was much smarter than the one Ace met in Ludwig IV's palace just now, and the Bone Staff appeared in Ace's hand silently.

The bone staff in Ace's hand drew a crescent shape, and at the same time, a silver-white shield appeared behind Ace.Ace turned around quickly, and among the shadowy trees, Ace saw a magician who almost blended into the night.

He was wearing a black magic robe, holding a red staff in his hand, and a huge ruby ​​was embedded in the top of the staff. Unlike ordinary rubies that would give people a scorching feeling, the bloody smell on this ruby Extremely strong and extremely uncomfortable.

This is a black mage.The moment Ace saw the magician, he made a judgment.Only a black mage would have such a bloody smell.

The world often confuses black magicians with necromancers.In fact, they are fundamentally different.

Necromancers practice dark magic elements, mainly from the dead world; black magicians absorb both light and dark magic elements when practicing, which makes them practice very quickly in the early stage. The magical elements conflict with each other, often resulting in the characteristics of exploding and dying.

Therefore, black magicians always do a lot of experiments to delay their death.

Ace went to the Skeleton King's tomb for the first time, pretending to be a black magician's magic apprentice.

There was a red light on the black mage's staff, which was a rather sharp attack, directly hitting the silver-white shield in front of Ace.Fortunately, the shield was extremely strong, and the black mage's attack could not penetrate the shield.But Ace still felt a lot of magic leaving his body.

The black mage slowly walked out from among several extremely dense trees, and Ace saw his appearance clearly under the moonlight.

This is a black mage with dark brown medium-length hair, brown skin, and an indeterminate age.On his exposed skin, whether it was his hand holding the staff or his face, there were the same runes as the killer just now.The runes were not identical, but from their style and color, Ace was sure they were related.

Ace guessed that the black mage and the killer came from the same faction. For unknown reasons, they wanted to assassinate Ludwig IV. The killer came first, and the black mage followed, which was the double insurance of this faction against the assassination.It's a pity that their plan was spoiled by Ace.

Neither Ace nor the black mage had any intention of talking, not only because Ace had just killed the other person, but also because of the situation they were in now.None of them wanted the people of Pansy Palace to find out about their actions.

Although the physical fitness of the black magician is much better than that of ordinary magicians, it is not as good as Ace's dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.Ace strode directly towards the black mage. When he waved the bone staff in his hand, it hit the black mage's right arm like lightning.

The black mage snorted, but chanted spells without stopping. His figure turned into an afterimage, and he took several steps back suddenly.

Seeing that the black mage was about to escape from Ace's attack range, Ace tore open the passage leading to the dead world with his hands without hesitation, and got in.In the next moment, a new dead world passage appeared beside the black mage, and Ace appeared directly to the right of the black mage.

In an instant, red light and black light flashed continuously in this area, and the two fought like a raging fire.

The fight between Ace and the Black Mage was silent and fast, and they fought hundreds of rounds in just a few minutes.At the same time, they also moved slowly outside the palace in a tacit understanding.

By the time Ace and the others left the palace, there was already a rush of flute sounds in the Pansy Palace.The guards in the palace kept all the exits tightly sealed.

The black magician consciously took Ace to the suburbs, and Ace also seemed to be chasing here without noticing.Fighting in the imperial capital is not only easy to be discovered, but when the black magician goes crazy, it is unknown how many innocent people will die.Furthermore, Ace is really not afraid of ambushes.If there are more people on the other side, he can get more confessions.

Ace has seen a lot from the Pansy Empire to the Finger Empire to the Territory of Chaos.

But these two people who appeared suddenly were not only well-trained, their moves were unheard of, and Ace also knew nothing about their origins.As soon as they appeared, they were ready to attack Ludwig IV. Their plot must be not small.

When they got outside the imperial capital, in a deserted place, Ace and the black mage gradually let go of their moves. The bloody red light scorched the ground, but the black light corroded the ground like a poisonous snake.Ace and the black magician fought so recklessly that the land outside the imperial capital would not recover in another 100 years, and the crops on it either died or became highly poisonous.

The black mage really didn't care.Ace just thought of it, and it was too late to care about it now.

The black mage is absorbing the magical elements of the light attribute in this land wantonly. The black runes on his body are flickering and flickering, complementing his attack. His strength has increased a lot in an instant, and he is very close to the holy rank.

Ace uses the Bone Staff as a long sword, constantly resisting the attack of the red light. Every time the red light hits the Bone Staff, it will turn into sparks like fireworks, and those sparks will sometimes drip on Ace's clothes superior.

Such a magical element with a lot of light attributes made Ace feel extremely uncomfortable.

Soon, there were more and more red lights, like hundreds of fireworks blooming here at the same time, and Ace's figure was almost invisible.

Ace wears clothes that are extremely close-fitting and elegant because he participated in the banquet at the Pansy Palace, but this becomes a hindrance during the battle.Soon, the clothes on Ace's body became uneven, but the black magician couldn't help but had a smug smile on his face.

It became more and more difficult for Ace to attack the black mage, but the black mage chanted spells loudly while Ace dodged the sparks turned into red light.The black mage stopped emitting red light, and the ruby ​​on the magic wand sprayed out overwhelming flames, more precisely, it was the bloody fire extracted from unknown potions, which almost completely submerged Ace.

Ace didn't hesitate anymore, he took off the space bracer from his hand.In an instant, the aura on Ace's body rose steadily, directly breaking through the bottleneck of the ninth level, and both magic and grudge reached the peak of the ninth level.

Ace sucked in a "hiss-" breath.

The power of the black mage is extremely complicated. Every time his body touches Hanabi, the skin seems to be burned. Although there is no wound on the surface of Ace's skin, the magic elements in his body become extremely chaotic.

But the black mage's face was much worse than Ace's.

He has already reached the limit.

He wanted to escape.

The Ace black magician who suppressed his strength barely gained the upper hand, and he still couldn't stop Ace from leaving.Now, Ace's strength is more than one level higher than before. As long as the black magician's head is not full of water, he knows that he can't do anything to Ace.

In fact, when Ace received the palace left by the Skeleton King in the Necromancer Sea, he had already broken through level nine.

The Necromancer Sea is the best training place for necromancers, and Ace will naturally not let it go.

However, level nine is the strength closest to the holy rank.It shows its sharpness, but it has not reached the point of returning to the original nature of the holy rank, so it is the most difficult to hide.

Ace had no choice but to use the space wristband as a medium to suppress his strength to level eight.

"Want to run at this time?" Ace used the passage of the dead to "flash" in the way of the black magician again, and he said: "Do you know how difficult this double magic circle that suppresses magic and fighting spirit is? I am now I don’t know how many caring people will pay attention to me.” Ace confirmed very logically that the black magician was the culprit of his troubles.

The black mage's body was firmly held in place by Ace's aura.As soon as Ace's words fell, the bone staff in his hand turned into circles of light, and countless circles of light were superimposed on the black mage's body, directly restraining him.

Ace's magic naturally has strong dark magical elements, which is not a good thing for people who have not died, such as black magicians.The black mage was so painful that he wanted to twitch and roll on the ground, but Ace mercilessly pushed him into the gate of the dead world.

Ace didn't question the black mage.

The matter of interrogation should be left to professionals.Ace thought so.

Bill, who is refining the Star Potion in the laboratory, and General Arnold of Evernight City, are all talents in this field.

With the closure of the gate of the dead world, only the scorched land can prove that an extremely fierce battle has just taken place here.Instead of waiting until dawn tomorrow, this battlefield will be discovered by the knights of Pansy Imperial Capital and will start to investigate.

Day replaced night again.While the news of His Majesty Ludwig IV's assassination spread throughout the streets and alleys of the Pansy Imperial Capital, the wanted notice of a certain necromancer was also posted all over the bulletin boards of the Imperial Capital.
