Had he known earlier, Gaven would have unleashed this ability and gone on a killing spree, and now it wasn't too late.
"Protect me, protect me now!" The Necromancer frantically retreated in the direction away from the Six-armed Snake Demon, having witnessed the terrifying attack power of his adversary, how could he dare allow her to get close?
He possessed neither the powerful defenses of the Giant Dragon nor the ability to parry swiftly; once she got close, what followed was akin to chopping vegetables; he simply couldn't withstand her two full rounds of assault.
Even if she was in a physical state, he dared not easily attempt to use Necromancy to attack because the speed of his spell preparation was definitely not faster than her transformation into Nightshadow.
The Bone Claws desperately came to his aid, their intelligent selves aware that in such a special battle situation, once the leading Necromancer died, they would surely not escape unscathed.
