Volume 9: Phantom of the Ancient Castle Chapter 10: Counterattack

Surprise, shock, tension, and fear successively flickered across the faces of the magicians, who were almost at a loss for what to do. They couldn't fathom how their once-brilliant achievements could fail so suddenly, especially a few Magicians who were utterly baffled. However, it was the leading Mage who first realized that there could be only one reason for this result: a Magic Practitioner more powerful than themselves was hidden nearby!

Before the Mage's Protective Shields could even take form, two dark figures shot out from the ranks of the Half-beast Warriors. Knight Spears, filled with fighting qi, tore through the sky with a strange whistling sound. Faint black energy enveloped the dark figures as the spears easily shattered the Protective Shields conjured from Magic Scrolls.
