Chapter 26: As Though the Punishment of Heaven Had Descended

The female mage's eyes widened slightly at the sound of that voice.

The reason she did not pray was that she had devoted herself entirely to magic, and had no god in whom she believed.

She simply hadn't expected that a god would notice her at such a critical moment.

The Lord of Flame!

It seemed to fit her magical attribute very well.

But would the one who gave her the revelation truly be a god?

Leap into the flames!

A mage's body wasn't all that strong; she was only a Second-Rank mage, and her mana was now nearly exhausted. To leap into those Xiong Xiong burning flames would be certain death.

But if she didn't leap, she seemed doomed all the same.

Because those several black withered bones were drawing closer and closer.

She had used up all her mana just to heavily wound one black withered bone, yet now there were still several more such black withered bones.

How was she to fight?

Learn from the knights and hack with a sword?

But even powerful magic couldn't wound these black withered bones; these black withered bones had likely been reinforced to be impervious to blades and spears. She wasn't a true knight either, so hacking with a sword probably wouldn't do anything either.

"Is this a trial given by a god?"

The female mage turned to look at the fiercely burning flames.

The temperature of those flames was too high.

Even from a distance of more than ten meters, she could feel the scorching heat of those flames.

In fact, her body was already covered in a fine layer of sweat.

She clenched her teeth, used all her strength to stand up, and then ran toward the flames outside.

Since she was going to die anyway, let her see whether the one who had given her the revelation was truly a god!

"She's going to kill herself—quick, grab her!"

Behind her, the necromancer grew anxious.

A Second-Rank female mage, once caught, could serve as one more thing to relieve his boredom during the tedium of researching magic.

If this female mage were in one of the human kingdoms, he wouldn't dare to make a move to seize her. Now that she had delivered herself to his door, meat delivered to the doorstep—letting it go would be such a pity!

Upon receiving his command, the speed of those several black withered bones suddenly increased as they charged toward the female mage.
