Chris quickly chanted an incantation, spinning his magic wand in the air, and an air shield manifested.
BANG! The dark orbs collided with the shield, holding up for only two seconds before the shield shattered. The corrosive power surprised Chris; it was too exaggerated!
In a swift motion, he evaded before the shield broke completely.
BOOM!!! The still-powerful dark orbs struck the mountainside, corroding a large hole into it. This resulting fluid was almost comparable to the blood of xenomorphs - it was truly exaggerated!
Whoosh! Several more dark orbs came flying, but this time, Chris didn't dodge. Instead, he gripped his left hand in a fixed magical gesture while pulling up with his right hand. The previously calm earth suddenly surged upward, sending four or five undead creatures right in front of him. The skeletal monsters, poised to tear living flesh, were rapidly corroded and melted into a pool of sewage by the swiftly approaching dark orbs!
The thrilling and perilous moment of life and death excited Chris. The most detested feeling for those afraid of death was facing the possibility of dying in battle. The best way to eliminate fear was to confront it directly!
The power of dark magic was immense, even surpassing regular elemental magic. However, everything came with a price - the greater the power, the greater the backlash.
Eckwart's skin began to crack again, and dark green blood seeped out, dripping intothe pool of water. He could feel his life force draining rapidly. The dark magic he wielded was taking a toll on his body, accelerating his decay.
Chris' eyes flickered, it was necessary for him to find Sindella to educate him about the detail of dark magic. If that wasn't possible, he would find an opportunity to visit Kama Taj and learn about the true magic system. Otherwise, he would continue to be suppressed in encounters with dark magic, which went against his style. He preferred being proactive rather than passive!
"That's enough! If we continue fighting, the cave will collapse, and you'll die here. Let's both take a step back. You go find the Black Queen to get what you want and stay out of my affairs with Ophelia. She's not a good person; do you think you're the first? Many men have been toyed with by her. You're not the first, nor will you be the last!" Eckwart anxiously tried to persuade.
As someone relying on dark magic to prolong his life, he would either turn into an irrational undead beast or be burned to ashes by the scorching magic circuit energy.
Having observed Eckwart's injuries, Chris seemed to understand something - this was the consequence of forcibly using dark magic without a proper pathway. Success was indeed possible, but the price paid was physical damage.
The previous Madame Viper was just like that, alluring and capable of controlling subordinates through uditory hallucinations. However, when faced with a resolute man, everything lost its value, and the duration was short - a significant flaw.
Understanding the cause and effect, Chris' smile grew even more insolent. His excitement was not due to the current situation was favourable, but rather the realization of Ophelia's vulnerability!
Ophelia had dabbled in sorcery and understood the benefits it could bring her. Now, as long as Chris could teach her true sorcery, manipulating this seductive and enchanting beauty would not be an impossible task!
Eckwart felt thoroughly disgusted as he witnessed Chris getting an erection at this moment. "Alright, let's both take a step back. You mind your own business, and I'll mind mine."
"Fine. Hand over your treasures to me. Huh, once I find the Black Queen, you'll see who's the boss!" Chris laughed sinisterly.
Eckwart pressed a switch nearby, and a door appeared on the wall, leading to a secret room with numerous bookshelves and jars placed inside. "There it is. If you dare, go get it yourself!"
BANG! Chris suddenly pulled out a Desert Eagle, a high-powered handgun, and shot Eckwart in the head, creating a large hole, putting an end to his wicked existence.
As his gaze gradually faded, Chris used a powerful wind blade to sever Eckwart's head, leaving no chance for his opponent. Even if the opponent appeared to be already dead, Chris wanted to add some magic as a finishing blow.
He would rather do more than let the enemy linger on with a sliver of health. Chris couldn't afford to spare a heavily injured and barely surviving protagonist, as it would only lead to their eventual retaliation. Chris would never engage in such foolish actions typical of brainless villains.
