Chapter 956: Chapter 715: Black Crow’s Substitute
Tamasi still remembers the first mage he killed.
At that time, he had not become a Judgement Warrior, although he could already subdue the young warriors in the cult without injury within five minutes, the cult still refused to let an ordinary person become a death-hunting Black Crow. They preferred Tamasi to be Miss Nightdew’s assistant, responsible for logistics within the cult, after all, Tamasi’s cooking was pretty good.
So he sneaked a look at the mission intelligence before other warriors set out, then walked sixty kilometers in half a day to slaughter the mage scout sent by the Tribulation Fire Temple lingering in the town.
The Black Crow has forgotten what it felt like to kill for the first time; after all, you’ve eaten so many slices of bread, you wouldn’t remember the taste of the first one. But he remembers, because he was inexperienced, he was splattered all over with blood, coupled with the dust and sweat from walking so much, compounded by the rain, he was covered in blood, mud, and even some excrement — because he had to carry the corpse back, and after snapping the neck of the Tribulation Fire Mage, the bodily excretions followed gravity and fell out.
Killing is really a dirty business, which is one reason the Black Crow later had a good impression of Harvey; he even thought necromancers who voluntarily handled corpses were a charitable bunch.
He was carrying the corpse back when he was found halfway.
Back then, although Tanomu was only in her teens, she was already a mage, and because of her healing skills and beautiful appearance, she directly entered the Blessing Monk sequence, known as the White Crow.
Though called the White Crow, because the white clothes easily got dirty, she usually just wore a white scarf, paired with a black dress and tight pants, along with short boots convenient for action.
But when she found him, Tanomu only had one short boot left, and she held it in her hand. Her body was covered in many scratches, and her pretty face was also bruised from rushing and falling, the other boot nowhere to be found. Her face had smeared tear marks all over, the cult’s greatest displeasure with Tanomu was her tendency to cry easily, lacking resilience.
Seeing the filthy Tamasi, Tanomu directly threw the remaining boot, but she was too weak; not to mention accuracy, she couldn’t throw it far. She retrieved the boot, put it on, and limped over to hug the dirty and smelly Tamasi, burying her head in his chest, gasping in small breaths and eventually whimpered out crying. She cried more painfully than crows cried, probably said something too, but Tamasi had already forgotten.
Then Tamasi gave his short boots to Tanomu, and wore the several-sizes-too-big long boots from the corpse. Just like that, he carried the corpse, held hands with Tanomu, and slowly walked back to the Ya Sha Jin cult.
This was later their portrayal. After completing missions, the Black Crow carried body bags while holding the hands of the physically frail Tanomu, walking beneath the skies of the Senluo Wasteland. Sometimes they talked about Void Realm and Wasteland topics, sometimes just trivial nonsense, as if there were endless things to say and discuss.
Yes, there was a time when Tamasi was a noisy and chatty Black Crow.
The Black Crow thought these days would continue forever. For origınal chapters go to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
And so he never imagined that two people who once had endless things to talk about…
Because the Gray Fox Blade fell too fast, the Black Feather Mage thought he was fine, but in the next second, a vertical blood line appeared on his body, splitting him in half.
In the splattering blood, the Black Crow lifted his head, and beneath the blood-stained crow mask, his eyes, from afar, met the cold gaze of the Mercury Wooden Horse hiding behind the mage.
Now, they had nothing left to say.
The liquor and blood on the ground suddenly erupted into countless high-pressure water arrows, and under the Black Feather Mage’s Thunder Technique enhancements, these water arrows entwined with eerie lightning, coming down like a torrential rain with heavy pressure!
Facing such an attack, the Black Crow didn’t need to retreat to Igula’s Holy Domain; he turned and sliced in the rainstorm, like a petrel in a tempest. The Thunder Water Arrows shattered by the Gray Fox Blade exploded with bursts of lightning, painting the Black Crow in brilliant colors at that moment.
However, Igula and Gwen weren’t so lucky, nor could they withstand it merely with Spiritual Scream and Starlight Veil blocking some attacks. They still bore half the Thunder Water Arrow Rain—every single water arrow was guided by the Black Feather Mage—they could only shrink their Holy Domain to minimize the attack area.
But this wasn’t the end, suddenly huge flames ignited in the hall, followed by a howling gale, converging into a Flame Storm sweeping through. However, compared to the Thunder Water Arrow Rain, the Flame Storm’s range was noticeably narrower; the Black Crow stepped onto a sonic cloud and dodged directly, while Gwen immediately pulled Igula, her feet lighting up with starlight, dragging Igula away to the side—the Star Magic Faction’s Movement Technique Spirit · Meteor!
Yet the Flame Storm directly targeted Igula and Gwen, relentlessly roasting the Holy Domain, forcing Igula, who had no choice, to use close-range Spirit Shock to dispel the flames; but in the next second, the ground beneath them suddenly collapsed!
Although they promptly flew up, the Thunder Water Arrow Rain surged again! Suspended in the air, they were undoubtedly subjected to the full assault of the storm!
Maybe because the Miracle attack worked, one Black Feather Mage couldn’t help but get excited, opening his eyes wide at Igula and Gwen.
But amidst the flames and storm, he noticed Igula was staring right back at him.
