Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World
chapter-685

As the swarm of spirits were about to engulf them, the three Priests waved their staffs and chanted out an incantation. Their bodies ignited with fierce holy flames.

When the spirits came in contact with the flames, they wailed out in pain as they were burned out of existence.

The old priest’s robes fluttered back and forth. With his entire body enshrouded by holy flames, he looked like a deity in the flesh.

“Vanquish all darkness, by the will of the God of Light…” The old priest chanted out an incantation. A pillar of light descended down on Necromancer Vorderman.

Sure enough, these three priests wouldn’t allow themselves to be killed so easily.

What exactly were those two planning?

“Vorderman, hurry up. Stop fooling around,” Qin Han urged in an annoyed tone. They had already wasted enough time here.

At this moment, Vorderman waved his staff and summoned a monstrous black wraith. It let out a sharp cry and pounced toward the three priests.

“Die, you stubborn old fools!” Necromancer Vorderman cackled madly.

BANG! BANG! The two younger priests were sent flying back by the wraith.

The old priest struggled to wave his staff. He invoked a powerful holy light to defend against the wraith. Necromancer Vorderman was too strong. He stood no chance.

Even though all of them were legendary figures, Vorderman could already be considered a demigod. The three priests were not his match.

Thinking to this point, Nie Yan could only give up on the idea. What surprised him a bit was that Vorderman still hadn’t discovered him. It appeared the stealthing ability of a Shadow Dancer was much greater than he originally thought. Since it was like this, he decided to stick around a while longer and watch how things would play out.

A powerful holy light bound Necromancer Vorderman. At this moment, the elderly priest slowly struggled back to his feet.

“You vile undead, die!” The old priest waved his staff. A raging sphere of holy flames condensed in his abdomen, rapidly expanding before swallowing him whole.

As death loomed over him, the red flames in Necromancer Vorderman’s eye sockets suddenly throbbed.

BOOOOOM! Nie Yan felt like his whole world had turned into a dazzling whiteness. All he could hear was a loud ringing in his ears. He couldn’t open his mouth to speak, and his mind stopped thinking as well. It was as if he were in purgatory.

Just what kind of effect did this elderly priest’s self-destruct spell have?

The self-destruct spell was a special type of holy magic. It only affected creatures of darkness. So, Nie Yan was completely unharmed while Vorderman and Qin Han had received serious injuries.

Nie Yan widened his eyes in shock, a cold chill running down his spine. He still isn’t dead!?

“Got it!” Nie Yan cried out in elation, his heart racing in his chest. However, he couldn’t celebrate too early.

As Nie Yan landed on the ground, he broke into a roll to reduce the impact of the fall. Gazing over in Vorderman’s direction, he spotted Qin Han slowly getting up to his feet. The two had suffered heavy damages, especially Qin Han. His robes were torn to pieces, revealing patches of black, scorched skin. He had been shielded by Necromancer Vorderman. With his own strength, there was no way he could defend against the old priest’s self-detonation.

Nie Yan had no plans of lingering around any longer. He directly crushed the Unknown Transfer Scroll in his hand.

This was his best chance to escape!

With a flash of light, Nie Yan teleported away.

Nie Yan was assured of his escape.

Vorderman steadied his feet. He waved his bone staff and cast Dimension Lock. Space twisted as the entire shrine was enveloped by darkness energy. Before Nie Yan could finish teleporting away, he was pulled back to his original location.

Nie Yan’s heart trembled. He can stop my Unknown Transfer Scroll, even with those grievous wounds!?

Even though Nie Yan knew Magisters had special magic to prevent enemies from teleporting away, this was his first time being stopped by it.

Nie Yan looked over at the two. After casting the spell, Vorderman looked like a dried up oil lamp. He staggered unsteadily before forcefully stabilizing himself against the wall. He couldn’t cast any offensive magic for the time being. However, he was still a huge threat, capable of recovering at any moment.

Qin Han waved his staff and fired out three arrows of darkness.

Gale Step!

Nie Yan evaded Qin Han’s attack. Seeing Vorderman hadn’t recovered yet, he still had a chance to escape! He glanced down at his bag. With the spatial lock in place, all his teleportation items were rendered moot. Looking around, the entrance had already been blocked off by Qin Han and Vorderman. His only route of escape was a small door not far away. He had no idea where it led.

Nie Yan quickly made a break for it.

Seeing Qin Han stop after taking a few steps, Nie Yan coldly chuckled. Spineless coward. Don’t dare to chase me now, eh?

Without Necromancer Vorderman, Qin Han was nothing. As soon as he left Vorderman’s protection, Nie Yan could easily kill him.

Nie Yan passed through multiple winding corridors. The interior of the shrine was like a labyrinth. There was no exit in sight. Suddenly, a stone-crushing sound entered his ears. Rubble started coming down. He quickly evaded, as the walls around him toppled over from both sides.

Looking up through the large hole in the ceiling, Nie Yan spotted the bone dragon on the roof.

Disappear!

Nie Yan quickly hid within the wreckage.

Glancing at his inventory, his Unknown Transfer Scrolls were still greyed out. The range of Vorderman’s spatial lock spell was too large.

The bone dragon continued trampling and smashing the shrine. Nie Yan carefully snuck around, lest he be discovered.

Looking over in the distance, two silhouettes appeared in an open space 1,000 meters away. It was Qin Han and Vorderman.

Nie Yan quickly retreated in the direction opposite of Qin Han and Vorderman.

Looking around, Qin Han could no longer find any traces of Nie Yan. Necromancer Vorderman was in no state to give chase either. His injuries would require at least a month to fully recover. During this time, they definitely couldn’t confront those powerful NPCs, or everything he had worked so hard for would go up in smoke.

Thinking to this point, Qin Han lost all will to chase after Nie Yan. He felt quite vexed. If he didn’t have Vorderman’s help, killing Nie Yan was impossible. The difference in strength left him feeling extremely dejected.

Qin Han had the bone dragon search the surroundings. However, he saw no sign of Nie Yan. It was almost as if he vanished into thin air.

Qin Han had to quickly leave. The other NPCs from the Viridian Empire would be arriving soon.

Just as Qin Han was about to depart, he received a notification.

Coordinates: Holy Mountain, 385.382.582

Coordinates: Holy Mountain, 385.382.582

Qin Han quickly gazed into the distance, a sinister smile on his face. “Let’s see where you’ll run to now!”

The enormous bone dragon took to the air and flew toward Nie Yan.
