Necromancer Of The Shadows - C.870 A Destined Massacre (Part 4)

*Cough

Blaze coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body was riddled with injuries and blood was flowing out from her wounds. She panted heavily and looked in front of her while resting her weight on her spear, which was plunged into the ground.

A few hundred meters away in front of her, Walter was standing with tattered clothes and tens of injuries on his body. His aura was very chaotic and similar to Blaze, he was also panting heavily.

"Do you want to continue?" Blaze asked as she lifted her spear. Walter looked at Blaze for a few seconds before he sighed and shook his head.

Blaze wasn't surprised when she saw his response, as she was already expecting this. If both of them continued to fight, they would eventually be seriously injured and would lose their fighting powers. In that condition, even if Walter got the Solarian Sunfruit, he wouldn't be able to protect it from other people.

Blaze turned around when she saw Walter didn't want to continue and was about to fly away when suddenly...

Rumble!

The ground started to shake and before Walter and Blaze could react...

Woosh! Woosh! - - -

The ground was split open and tens of black-colored, withered-looking vines came out, tying them.

Blaze and Walter were startled when they were suddenly caught by the withered vines and the image of the Rank Three Tree-type monster whom they saw at the site of the phenomenon immediately came into their minds.

"Where is it?" Both of them tried to look for the monster using their spiritual senses, but they failed to find it.

"Don't tell me..." Suddenly, something clicked in Walter's mind and he tried to look deep inside the ground. When Walter looked deep inside the ground using his spiritual senses, he finally saw the monster moving underground.

Blaze also found the monster and tried to burn the withered vines that were tying her using her flames. Because of her earlier fight, her flames were not as powerful as before, but she still successfully burnt the vines and freed herself. Walter also used his golden flames and freed himself.

Rumble!

The moment both of them freed themselves, the ground in tens of kilometres of area started to shake and the next second...

BooooooM!

A large patch of ground collapsed and sank down. From the collapsed ground, a giant black-coloured, withered-looking tree monster came out.

ROAR!

The tree monster roared and thousands of vines shot towards Blaze and Walter.

"Damn," Blaze swung her spear at a rapid speed and cut down the vines that came towards her. "Let's fight tog—"

She turned around to look at Walter to ask him to fight against the tree monster together, but when she looked at him, she saw him running away without even looking at her.

"I don't want to get involved in this needless fight when I will not even get anything in return," Blaze heard Walter's voice as she watched him continue to run away.

Although Blaze knew that Walter was right and he didn't need to fight against the tree monster, who was clearly after her because of the Solarian Sunfruit, her face still turned red from anger when she saw him running away alone.

"You bastard nephew, how can you leave behind your aunt and escape alone?"

Walter, who was running away nearly fell down when he heard Blaze and looked back at her with hateful eyes. He was still pissed off at Evan and now she was reminding him of him.

"Forget it, I need to get away from here," Walter took a deep breath to calm down and disappeared from Blaze's sight.

"Bastard..." Blaze cursed when she saw Walter run away and she was now surrounded by tens of black vines.

She tried to destroy them to escape as well, but she had used up most of her powers in her earlier fights and was struggling. Moreover, the tree monster wasn't even serious yet and was just trying to wear her out.

"I can't go on like this..." Blaze muttered in a low voice and a determined look appeared in her eyes. Although she knew she would lose most of her powers after using another powerful move, she still decided to do it. Her Ocean Blue spear started to glow with light golden flames, and a tinge of gold appeared in her eyes.

But before she could unleash her attack...

Swish!

The ground beneath her feet was torn open, and a pitch-black vine came out of it. Blaze lost her balance when the ground below her feet was torn open and before she could react, the vine struck her right on her back, sending her flying away.

Blaze lost her grip on the spear and a deep wound appeared on her back. She coughed out blood and rolled on the ground like a rag doll. She tried to stand up but felt the wound that the tree monster inflicted on her back start to rot and her flesh was decaying.

"Poison," Blaze immediately understood what was happening and her expression turned ugly. She was almost out of the world essence and if she continued to fight, she wouldn't be able to stop the poison.

"Damn it," Blaze gritted her teeth as she looked at the tree monster, who was walking towards her. She tried to think of a way, but could not think of anything that would help her in front of the Rank Three monster.

In the end, she sighed and made up her mind.

The storage ring she was wearing flashed, and the Solarian Sunfruit appeared in her hand.

"You want this, right?" She asked the tree monster, whose giant eyes were glowing with greed upon seeing the Solarian Sunfruit

Blaze sneered when she saw the monster's greed-filled eyes and threw it into the distance.

ROAR!

The tree monster roared when it saw Blaze throw away the fruit and quickly went after it. The monster used a vine to catch the fruit, but just as it was about to catch the fruit, a sharp red light cut its vine and Zorda caught the fruit.

"I will be taking th—"

Bang!

Zorda was about to say something after catching the fruit, but he wasn't able to finish his sentence because a loud booming sound rang out and his body was pierced by a small light blue bullet.
