Chapter 616: Intruders

Emery dropped to his knees on the ground as he felt the piercing pain on his thigh. A look of disbelief could be seen on Emery's face.

He had been stabbed and cut many times since entering Magus Academy, throughout many dangers and hardships. But this time the cut inflicted on his thigh by the other man somehow felt more painful compared to them all.

Seeing the ragged, long dagger on his attacker's hand, Emery instinctively and immediately knew it was the reason for his unusual wound. 

Emery inadvertently glanced at his thigh and saw that blood was pouring out of his wound fiercely like a gushing river. The sight of the wound was certainly something that wasn't common.

He quickly cast [Nature Blessing] with one of his arms to the wound on his thigh.

The man that attack him, although wearing a mask, Emery could see that the other person's face and hand was so pale it looked completely white. 

"Get him already before this place turns into a literal circus!" the pale man said to the strange magus.

The magus unexpectedly snapped at him "Don't order me around, you bloodsucker. I don't work for you!"

Emery could see the pale man was irritated by the snarky response. However, he didn't seem to dare to snap back in response. 

At one side the pale man has a dangerous weapon on the other side a magus with powerful illusion spells.  Even using his shaman form Emery could tell he couldn't completely shake off the illusion this was why Emery got cut in the first place.

Emery could see the smoke once again gathered around him and with it the pale man charged at him. 

However, a violent energy came rushing from the distance. It was so fast and sharp it cut through the ground in half as it traversed toward their direction.

The pale man seemed to have noticed this too, as Emery could see the panicked expression on his ex's face. He quickly withdrew his already outstretched hand back and immediately jumped a few steps back.

The sharp, dark-colored blade energy originated from Magus Xion as he dashed toward Emery, intending to save him from the two people's clutches. But as he got closer and there was only a mere distance of a few steps between the two of them, the strange magus already stood in the way obstructing Magus Xion's advance.

"No no no! You should not come! Just return to your bed!"

Magus Xion looked at the magus with a surprised look before he glanced past the other party and shouted to Emery.

"Are you alright, Emery?!"

The situation suddenly turned all the way around for the attackers, when dozens of Lord Izta's knights came barging into the area with Yuria leading the group. Among them, there was also Thrax and Chumo.

"Capture the intruders!" shouted Yuria valiantly.

Magus Xion, however, shouted something unexpected. "Watch out!"

Right after Xion said those words, a dozen figures emerged from the empty ground and threw multiple flying weapons toward Yuria and the others.

Clank! Splat! Clank! Clank! Splat!

Caught off guard by the ambush, several knights fell to the ground as they sustained fatal injuries to their uncovered body parts. As for the lucky ones, they only suffered minor injuries and concussions thanks to the flying weapons that blocked their armor.

Those who were fine and still in battle-able state continued their charge, only to face a line of intruders in black garb fighting with large sabers. Soon, a fierce clash broke out between the two parties.

Clank!! Clankk! Clank!!

"You guys are Shadowbane!" Magus Xion shouted in an annoyed tone, when he realized who they were dealing with right now.

The pale man unexpectedly laughed at Magus Xion's exclamation. "Hahaha, if you know who we are, then you better just give us the boy!"

The strange magus turned his head, stared at the pale man who was still laughing and said harshly, "What are you waiting for, you idiot?! You want to wait until this place is overrun by them?! Take the boy and go!" 

The pale man's laughter choked when he heard that. The man was raging in heart, but he didn't reply back and just glared at his partner in annoyance. Either way, he still followed the order given to him.

Magus Xion was forced to fight the strange looking magus.  As for the pale man, the moment he saw Emery trying to stand up, he sneered bluntly.

"Should I cut your other leg? Then, we will see if you can still stand afterward!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the man took out another similar dagger with his other hand and moved toward Emery at great speed. Even though Emery had prepared himself to move out of the way, he soon realized he was simply not fast enough to match the other party, especially because of the wound on his thigh.

Knowing he wouldn't be able to cast spells fast enough, Emery decided to take out his sword and cast [Granite Skin] to protect himself from another cut

Swissh!! Swissshh!!

The pale man was not a magus - that was something Emery knew for sure. However, the man was at least a high stage rank 9 acolyte, or worse, a peak stage one. Coupled with that strange dagger, this was certainly not an enemy Emery could easily deal with.

Clank!! Clankk!!

With Emery shaman form, he was able to match the person's speed and strength, which annoyed him. The same thing had happened when he fought against Orycon, Emery's sword skills were not able to match his opponent despite having the same speed and strength. 

Spllaaattt!!

The dagger in the pale man's hand was able to pierce his back, cut through the thick protection of his shaman form enhanced [Granite Skin]. And once again, blood spilled from his body endlessly.

'What kind of weapon is that?!' Emery was deep in thought in his mind, as his eyes stared at the dagger in fear.

"You like it, don't you?" A vicious smile appeared on the pale man's face when he saw healthy blood oozing from the wounds on Emery's body. "Don't worry. I still have more!"

In an instant, Emery saw half a dozen similar-looking daggers flew out from beneath the other party's black robe. The daggers were hovering and revolving around the pale man's figure. It was apparent the man was a spirit reader, who specialized in using flying weapons.

Emery took out his [Moon Dagger] and was ready to fight once again.
