He wore a black robe with a large number four inscription on it and a cracked mask that barely covered the top half of his face, exposing a sharp grin filled with malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are two little bugs doing snooping around here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was lazy, but his presence was anything but. A suffocating wave of pressure radiated from him, causing the ground to tremble slightly beneath their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bridget immediately stepped forward, summoning a magic staff with a dark crystal that gave off an ominous aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Elvin kicked the ground, distancing himself as he knocked an arrow on his bow, aiming at the robed enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before either of them could react, the man vanished, reappearing right behind Elvin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Fast…’ Elvin gritted his teeth and rolled to the side, barely dodging the incoming palm strike that created a small crater upon contact with the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heat from the palm strike brushed past his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘That was close…’ He quickly leaped to his feet, already loosing an arrow mid-motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow shot toward the robed enemy’s chest, but the man casually tilted his head, letting the arrow pass harmlessly by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it?” The agent sneered, his cracked mask shifting slightly as his lips curved into a mocking grin. “I expected more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bridget’s gaze sharpened. Without hesitation, she slammed the butt of her staff against the ground, releasing a shockwave of purple mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Summon: Bone Claws!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several skeletal hands burst from the ground beneath the agent, attempting to seize him, but he lightly jumped backward, landing effortlessly like he had all the time in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm? Necrotic energy, huh?” His eyes flickered behind the mask. “But why is it… purple?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bridget’s grip tightened on her staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had long since concealed her true affinity. Purple mana—that was the color she manipulated to mask her necromancer powers. If the kingdom knew, she’d be hunted on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that there was chaos everywhere… there was no need to hide it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t speak like you know me,” Bridget snapped coldly. “Elvin, focus! Keep moving!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On it!” Despite his old age, Elvin spun around, his feet gliding across the dirt as he loosed three consecutive arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each shot was aimed at a different angle—one at the man’s head, another at his torso, and the last at his legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the robed man simply smirked and vanished again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Behind you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bridget’s warning came just in time as Elvin dropped to the ground, feeling the sharp wind from another palm strike skim above him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without missing a beat, he somersaulted forward, his hands swiftly loading another arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rapid Shot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arrow glowed faintly as he fired at near point-blank range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the agent’s grin faded slightly. He raised his arm to block, but the arrow exploded mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoke covered the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bridget didn’t hesitate. She slammed her staff on the ground again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rise—Bone Legion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bones from fallen beasts rapidly assembled themselves into skeletal soldiers, surrounding the agent as the smoke began to clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the man’s laughter echoed through the dust. “Oh? You’re trying to pin me down?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His palm flicked, releasing a burst of black wind that shattered the skeletons into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bridget clicked her tongue. ‘His strength… even my summoned soldiers can’t buy much time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvin darted around, using the trees and broken terrain to stay mobile while unleashing a barrage of arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy’s way too fast!” He cursed, beads of sweat forming on his wrinkled forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘We can’t beat him in a drawn-out fight. But maybe… if I gamble.’ Bridget’s eyes flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She drew a rune in the air, her mana pulsing dangerously. Her purple glow briefly flickered, revealing a dark, necrotic undertone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elvin! Push him toward me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvin sprinted to the left, baiting the agent to follow, while firing precise shots that forced him to keep dodging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agent chuckled as he glided forward, his eyes shining with amusement. “You think you can trap me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bridget’s spell circle completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Try me!” she roared, slamming her staff down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive purple chain burst from the ground, wrapping around the agent’s legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What—!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvin’s eyes gleamed. “Now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fired his strongest arrow yet, pouring all his remaining mana into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow whistled through the air like a hurricane, slamming into the agent’s abdomen just as the shackles tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact sent the robed man flying backward, crashing into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad,” the agent coughed, wiping a trickle of blood from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvin panted heavily, eyes wide in shock. “That… that didn’t kill him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, but we’re not done yet,” Bridget said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agent stood back on his feet, his cracked mask falling off completely to reveal sharp, human features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fun time’s over,” he growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath him cracked as he suddenly surged forward, his speed more than doubling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shit—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bridget quickly erected a bone wall, but his palm shattered it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could blink, his hand was already at her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re strong,” the agent admitted, squeezing tightly. “But you’re still too slow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvin fired desperately, but the agent twisted his body slightly, using Bridget as a shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drop your weapon, archer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvin’s hands trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t!” Bridget struggled against the grip, her feet dangling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agent’s grin widened. “If you don’t want to see her neck snap like a twig, you’ll—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Bridget’s purple aura erupted violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agent’s eyes widened as his grip was forced open by the intense mana pouring out from her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was just waiting for you to get closer.” Bridget smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her purple glow dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief second, her true necrotic energy burst forth—a deep, dark green mist wrapped around her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The condensed blast of necrotic energy exploded point-blank, sending the agent flying through three trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG! BANG! BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bridget landed on the ground, gasping for breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvin sprinted toward her. “Headmistress, are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine…” She steadied herself with her staff. “But that wasn’t enough to kill him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the agent staggered out of the wreckage, his robe tattered, one arm limp at his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two… are really starting to piss me off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvin clicked his tongue. “This guy’s like a cockroach.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bridget’s eyes narrowed as she studied his body movement. “I think he’s badly hurt. With a little more effort, we’ll be able to finish him off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finish him off? Shouldn’t we interrogate him?” Elvin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I forgot about that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at that moment they suddenly flinched back when the agent suddenly pulled out a device with a runic compass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is that?” Elvin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bridget eyes flickered. “I… I think that’s one of the devices we’re looking for.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At first, I planned on activating this outside the Barony, but I guess we’ll just do it here.” He grinned as he activated the device.\u003C\u002Fp>",1167,"2026-06-06T07:33:09.007Z",1,"novelbin.me","9f19920acee650e0a4e2ed8fdf1236059a6dcb5f11c8a8ef60581c316e83aa0d","supreme-beasttamer-i-can-copy-and-upgrade-skills-chapter-661","supreme-beasttamer-i-can-copy-and-upgrade-skills-chapter-659",831,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsupreme-beasttamer-i-can-copy-and-upgrade-skills-cover.jpg"]
