Chapter 622 "The Mark"

"Tch!"

Anno saw that Pris's health points had barely decreased, and knew that the guy was faking his death.

"However, despite being at the epicenter of the explosion, he was almost unharmed and had quite a few things to protect himself."

Annochong's summoned creature gave him a wink and retreated slightly to the back.

"Roar~!"

The high-level magical beasts standing beside Anno roared to the sky and then began to prepare to launch ranged attacks in the direction of Priss.

Priss lay sprawled on the ground, his high-level magic robes completely shattered in the process of withstanding the aftershocks of the explosion.

Although he felt a pang of heartache, he couldn't care less about that now.

Their last life-saving defensive equipment was gone.

If he makes another mistake, he won't be able to escape!

Priss was muttering a spell to himself, and a miniature magic circle was gradually taking shape beside his hand.

His intention in faking his death was to lower Anno's guard.

When Anno comes up, kill him unexpectedly.

But to his surprise, Anno didn't fall for it at all.

Boom!

Dozens of beams of light, emitted by seventh-tier magical beasts, shot towards Priss.

Just as the attack was about to arrive, Priss vanished from the spot.

"You're actually planning to use ranged attacks against me, you little bastard, you're really cautious!"

Having dodged the attack, Pris gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of the summoned creature, but he couldn't find Anno.

Where did it go?

The eighth-tier magic in his hand was ready to be unleashed, but Priss still couldn't find Anno's location.

Seeing the seventh-tier magical beast charging at him, Pris had no choice but to unleash the magic he had gathered.

"Eighth-tier magic [Vacuum Blade]!"

Priss swept his staff forward, and an invisible ripple spread outward.

Pfft!

A seventh-tier magical beast at the forefront was suddenly cut in half at the waist and vanished in white light.

This is not a shadow, but a real entity.

Upon seeing this, the summoned creatures behind immediately realized that there was an invisible attack ahead.

Although everyone began to retreat, seven summoned creatures were still affected by the rapidly approaching [Vacuum Blade].

Four of them were killed.

The other three were a bit luckier, only losing limbs.

Seeing this, Anno, who was hiding in the shadows, simply took back all the seventh-tier weapons.

"Huff~, huff~!"

Standing on the ground, Pris looked at the empty surroundings, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Although he had just killed several of his seventh-tier summons with an eighth-tier spell he had secretly prepared.

But Anno still has several hundred seventh-tier players.

Why did you suddenly stop going online?

Moreover, that monster that resembled a thief never made a move afterward.

Just as Priss was about to cast a magical shield on himself, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound behind him.

Whoosh whoosh!

Pris raised his staff and instantly unleashed dozens of fifth-tier [Wind Blades].

However, the magic missed its target.

"We've been tricked!"

Pris's hair stood on end, and the next second he felt himself being kicked in the back, his body rolling forward.

When Priss scrambled to his feet in a panic, he met Anno's gaze as Anno rushed up to him.

However, Anno was acting strangely at this moment.

Although he looks like Anno, his skin has turned a dark blue color and has demonic markings on it.

Summoner Skill [Fusion] - Merge with a summoned creature, gaining all of the summoned creature's abilities while retaining all of your own.

bang bang bang...  

Anno rushed forward and kept swinging his fists, hitting Priss all over his body.

Although Anno relies on summoned creatures to fight.

Since reaching the advanced level, he has made fewer moves.

But this doesn't mean Anno's melee abilities are weak.

On the contrary, with the support of various passive skills, Anno's physical attributes are definitely stronger than those of a typical Discipline Temple Knight!

This was after Anno entered the advanced stage, when he lacked both advanced souls and advanced passive skills, and therefore did not learn any advanced passive skills.

Priss, a fragile mage, was brutally beaten by Anno in close combat, and countless bones in his body were broken.

Fresh blood kept gushing from Pris's mouth and nose.

Boom!

Anno's final punch slammed Pris into a standing boulder.

With his face covered in blood, Pris rolled his eyes and fell face-first off the rock.

Glug glug...

A spherical crystal fell from Priss's body and rolled to Anno's side.

Anno picked it up and took a look, discovering it was a recording crystal.

After the magic input stopped, the recording crystal stopped recording.

The contents recorded inside were exactly what had just happened.

It's clear that Pris's previous apology to Anno was just a delaying tactic.

He recorded these things so that he could figure out how to deal with Anno after he got out.

Moreover, if the recording crystal were to be leaked as evidence, many of Anno's trump cards would be exposed.

"That old man...he's got quite a few tricks up his sleeve!"

Anno squeezed the crystal with force, shattering it.

Anno then glanced down at Priss, who was still trying to get up, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Enjoy your last moments!"

After saying that, Anno released the Evil King Domain.

On the streets outside.

Anno discovered that Casta, Salin, and the others had not left yet.

"This is the consequence of insulting a hero of the kingdom. You few, drag him back; once he's healed, he can retire peacefully in his own territory!"

Anno called out to Casta, then turned and left.

Casta, who was called out, was startled by Anno's sudden appearance.

He shuddered again when he saw Pris lying next to Anno, covered in blood.

"Lord Priss!"

Sarin, who was standing nearby, rushed over and, seeing the alarming amount of bleeding from Priss, immediately shouted to his fellow priests, "Quick, treat him!"

Upon realizing he was on his side, Priss's anxiety subsided, and he fainted.

While Pulis was receiving treatment, Casta stared wide-eyed at Anno's departing figure.

His right hand, resting on the hilt of the knife, was trembling.

Casta had no idea what had happened while Anno and Priss were gone.

However, he knew that if Anno wanted to kill him at this moment, it wouldn't take too much effort.

After all, even Lord Priss, who was at level 43, was beaten like this.

"Lord Priss!"

Casta withdrew his right hand, turned around, and ran to Pris's side.

"Don't worry, Lord Pris is not fatally wounded."

The seventh-tier priest, while treating Priss, said, "Although he has multiple fractures and has lost a lot of blood, his life is not in danger. After being healed with light magic, he just needs some rest!"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Anno should still be rational.

After all, killing the kingdom's duke would have a huge impact.

If Anno dared to kill the Duke in public, it meant that they were not far from death.

"I've stabilized His Excellency's injuries for now. Let's carry him back first."

At the priest's instruction, Casta carried Priss on his back.

Ignoring the surprised looks from passersby, the group hurriedly returned to Pulis's residence.

On the way back, a piece of Pris's tattered robe slipped off, revealing a five-pointed star mark on Pris's back.

This is the mark that Anno left on Pris when he attacked him.

Within a certain range, the ranged magical attacks unleashed by Anno's summoned creatures will lock onto Priss like tracking missiles!
