The three master necromancers stood together, watching the windswept Greenwich Island . Saul, Douminge, and the others stood behind them, watching them carefully . Despite working together, the stigma attached to necromancers still caused them to isolate the necromancers .

It was hard to say who was the leader out of the three master necromancers . Golman was well read and knew everything there was to know about the world's history . Morgan was an incredible mage, and even his name was enough to make even the most powerful power go pale . However, because of his reclusive nature, he was not the leadership type . Desvidia was even less like a leader . He was always quiet, and rarely appeared in public view . However, that was also what made him dangerous .

To the others, Morgan was the most interesting . He was very different from what they had heard of him . Right now, his back was facing them . This showed that Morgan was confident enough in his own abilities, and confident that no one would attack him .

The archmage Eliry from Ellisen Empire glanced at Morgan and chuckled . He had fought with Morgan, and he knew that even if Morgan didn't use any tricks, Morgan still would win . If Morgan really was as violent as the rumors said, there wouldn't be any top level powers left in the world .

Morgan enjoyed traveling around the world . However, because necromancers were so hated, as soon as he was discovered, many top level powers would try to find and defeat him . In reality, Morgan only killed when he was attacked by others . Most people, however, were not willing to hear his side of the story, because he was a necromancer .

Most top level powers attacked Morgan, because they wanted to go down in history as being the ones who eliminated him . Another reason was that they wanted the fight to help them level up again . However, no one had succeeded so far .

Finally, Golman broke the silence . "What will you do if you see Annunciata?"

"I will not let anyone stop me," Morgan said with a cool expression .

Golman lifted a brow in surprise . The others standing behind them could not understand him, either . It was commonly acknowledged that Annunciata and Morgan were always working together . Where Annunciata was, Morgan would not be far . No one wanted to attack Annunciata, because they were afraid that would anger Morgan . Now it was clear that Morgan and Annunciata did not have the relationship everyone thought they did .

"Do you think Minos will trust someone who cares for nothing?" Morgan asked with a small shrug .

"So you did it on purpose," Golman said with a grin .

"As long as Minos thinks I care for her, he will think he can control me . He thinks that as long as he has her, I won't do anything . That's why I know things you don't . "

"And to think, what you did to save her…" Desvidia's voice trailed off, and he shuddered .

"Wait," Morgan said, staring at the dark clouds over the island . "It's starting . Desvidia, why don't you go first?"

"This is revenge?"

"If you think so," Morgan said . "You scared?"

"One of you is a mage, another isn't even equipped to fight," Desvidia said .

"I'm half a fighter . How can I turn that down?" Desvidia laughed, and his body suddenly grew a few inches . A pair of black wings sprouted from his back and he rose into the air, flying toward the island .

"Golman, stay here," Morgan said, his tone softening . "If we fail, at least some hope remains . "

The corner of Golman's mouth twitched, but he did not say anything . No matter what the world said about the three master necromancers, their friendship was as strong as anyone's . Desvidia said that one of them was not equipped to fight, and told Morgan that Golman should stay behind .

Saul and Douminge both smiled bitterly, looking at Morgan . Despite the reputation that necromancers had, they could be more open than humans . In situations like this, Saul and Douminge would hold back and let someone else charge first . No one thought Morgan and Desvidia would charge first, without any arguments or discussion .

The entire Greenwich Island was shrouded by a dark fog . It became very hard to see anything . Saul and the others summoned magic shields to protect themselves . Even Morgan and Desvidia were effected . Desvidia had landed, and was walking slowly .

As if sensing intruders, the howling wind suddenly quieted down . The magic shield around the island started turning, countless bones, hanging in the air, starting spinning, until it was impossible to discern anything . The shield descended on the island .

Golman, however, did not stay behind . He followed Saul onto the island . When the wind stopped, he suddenly said, "Stop! Something's wrong!"

By then, everyone had sensed the pressure from the sky . "Let me go see," Eliry said, rising into the air .

Necromancers were difficult opponents, because they were rare . Everyone knew the effects of a fireball, but it was hard to say what a necromancer's spell would do . Considering the dark fog and the unknown nature of necromancers' magic, Eliry's movements appeared to be a little reckless .

He rose into the air quickly . The bones that made up the shield around the island hit his magic shield and disappeared . However, Eliry's shield disappeared as well . Luckily, he had another layer of shield inside the outer shield . Sensing something was wrong, he quickly teleported . When he reappeared on the ground, his forehead was covered by a thin layer of sweat . Saul and the others glanced at one another, shocked . Desvidia suddenly stopped, glancing around . A silvery ghost dragon suddenly appeared through the dark fog, trying to bite Desvidia .

"Jimeng!" Desvidia cried in shock, recognizing Minos' mount . He jumped back, away from the dragon's jaw .

The dragon snapped its jaw angrily, and swept its wings toward Desvidia . Desvidia was very fast, but the dragon was too large . Seeing that it was impossible to get away from the dragon, Desvidia raised his arms to protect his head . At the same time, he became covered by dark scales .

The dragon struck Desvidia, sending him flying backwards . However, such an attack could not hurt Desvidia when he was in this state . The ghost dragon's eyes started glowing red . With a strong wave of magic surge, Desvidia's body shook . Small wrinkles appeared on his forehead and were deepening quickly .

The ghost dragon hurtled toward Desvidia, clawing at his head . Morgan hurriedly waved his hand, summoning a pair of large hands from the ground . The hands grabbed the dragon's tail, as large bone walls appeared in front of Desvidia .

However, Jimeng was an evolved ghost dragon, and was a tough opponent . Its tail slammed into the ground, smashing the hands . It dashed forward, crashing through the bone walls easily . Desvidia retreated as fast as he could, but he was under the aging spell . His speed was greatly reduced, and it was almost impossible for him to get away from the dragon .
