Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 352 Asha'ruya: Qianjue, you broke your promise.

At the critical moment, Su Lu frantically activated the forced contract that he had just established with the Black Dragon Emperor!
Through the soul link, an irresistible command is issued.

"Stand in my way!"

"Roar--!"

The Black Dragon Emperor let out a roar mixed with pain and humiliation, and his wounded dragon body suddenly stood upright, forcefully blocking Su Lu from the deadly arrow!

At that moment, Su Lu didn't have time for any other thoughts; preserving her life was the most important thing!
However, what happened next plunged him into even deeper despair.

The black and white arrow, facing the Black Dragon Emperor's tough dragon scales and thick flesh, passed through him silently as if it were a phantom image, without any hindrance!

After the arrow pierced through, the Black Dragon Emperor's body remained intact, as if it were merely an optical illusion.

But this was no illusion, because the death aura condensed in the arrow itself had not weakened in the slightest and was still locked onto Su Lu behind him with unparalleled precision!
This attack from Kindred was aimed at beings marked with the Death Mark.

It will not cause any physical or energy damage to other beings, regardless of their strength. Its target has always been only one—Su Lu!
"What?!" Su Lu was utterly shocked.

In his haste, he could only desperately mobilize all the magic power in his body to rapidly condense a dark purple energy barrier in front of him.

This was the fastest reaction he could make at that moment.

"Pfft——!"

A slight tearing sound was heard.

The black and white arrows easily tore through the dark purple barrier, passing right through his shoulder blade!

The instant he was hit by the arrow, Su Lu felt as if half of his body had lost all sensation, and a cold and deathly power rapidly spread through his body!
Even more terrifying was that the wound did not bleed, but instead retained a strange energy that was interwoven with black and white and constantly flowing, like a malignant sore that continued to destroy his vitality and magic cycle.

"Ugh!" Su Lu screamed as she staggered from mid-air and fell heavily onto the ice.

With just one strike, he was severely injured by Kindred, and the sense of power he had just gained from contracting the black dragon was completely shattered.

Before he could even struggle to his feet, Qianjue drew his bow again from afar.

call out!call out!
Two more black and white arrows arrived in an instant!

Su Lu had no way to dodge and could only watch helplessly as they pierced through his body again—one arrow hit his left leg, and another grazed his heart!

Su Lu suffered a series of severe blows, and his life force rapidly drained away. The black and white energy wreaked havoc, making it extremely difficult for him to even stand.

He knelt on the cold snow, and blood finally spilled from the corner of his mouth.

He struggled to lift his head, looking in the direction from which the arrow had come, his eyes filled with resentment as he roared, "Who...who are you?! Why...why did you have to choose me?! What grudge do I hold against you?!"

He couldn't understand why, after going through so many hardships to finally form a contract with the emperor and just as he was about to reach the pinnacle, such a terrifying being would suddenly appear and try to kill him without any reason.

He never expected that the difference in strength between himself and his opponent would be so great.

It turns out that from the moment he was marked by the Grim Reaper's mark, his fate seemed to have been sealed, and all his struggles and efforts were nothing but futile efforts.

The response he received was a cold, emotionless voice, as if it were a pronouncement from the heavens:
"There's no reason why, it's just because I want to."

As these words, brimming with absolute arrogance, echoed, Kindred's true form—a blend of black and white, sheep spirit and wolf spirit coexisting—slowly emerged from the void, clearly appearing above the icy valley. He coldly gazed down upon the dying Su Lu.

However, Su Lu was by no means someone who would sit idly by and wait for his death!
Extreme resentment and anger flashed in his eyes, followed by a final burst of madness!

"Roar!!!"

Austin, the black dragon who had been weakened by severe injuries and the backlash of the contract, gathered the last of his power in his massive dragon claws and slammed them down toward Kindred, who had just appeared, with the force to tear through space!
However, faced with this angry attack, Kindred didn't even make a move to dodge.

The wolf spirits surrounding it let out a low, disdainful howl, and a deep, dark death energy instantly condensed, transforming into an indestructible shield that easily blocked the dragon's claws.

"Oh!"

The dragon claw slammed into the shield, unleashing a dull thud. The energy shockwave spread outwards, shattering the surrounding ice, but the dark shield remained completely still.

Immediately afterwards, the Black Dragon Emperor's chest swelled up again, and with his last bit of strength, he spewed out a pillar of dark red dragon breath fire, which slammed into the Wolf Spirit's shield!
The flames burned fiercely, attempting to incinerate everything.

But the shield formed by the wolf spirit remained intact, as if the dragon's breath was nothing more than a gentle breeze.

"A dying struggle." The wolf spirit's hoarse voice carried undisguised mockery.

The next moment, the wolf spirit's shadowy body suddenly separated from Qianjue's main body, transforming into a black lightning bolt that instantly pounced on Su Lu!
Before Su Lu could react, she felt an indescribable pain and a feeling of being ripped apart!

"Uhhhhhh-!"

To Asha's horrified gaze, the wolf spirit's claws seemed to pierce through the material world, fiercely probing into Su Lu's body, and then suddenly pulling it outwards!
A blurry, humanoid phantom, shimmering with dark purple light and intertwined black and white energy—was Su Lu's soul.

The wolf spirit actually dragged it out of its body!

The body, devoid of its soul, instantly lost all its light, fell straight backward, and remained silent.

Su Lu, an ambitious and ruthless man who has just successfully formed a contract with the Black Dragon Emperor.

He had already expended a great deal of energy to contract the black dragon, and now, facing Kindred, who controlled death, he had no decent power to fight back.

His downfall was already inevitable.

At almost the same time that the wolf spirit suppressed and pulled out Su Lu's soul!

The sheep spirit beside them also moved.

He raised his longbow, and this time, the arrow was aimed directly at the Black Dragon Emperor below!

The black dragon, critically wounded and on the verge of death, and suffering a backlash from the death of its contractor, silently passed by as the arrow flew past.

The next moment, an even larger phantom of a dragon soul, filled with resentment and violent dragon might, was also forcibly pulled out of the black dragon's mountain-like body by the power of the sheep spirit!
In the blink of an eye, Su Lu and the Black Dragon Emperor, this pair of master and servant who had just been forced to form a contract, had their souls stripped away!

Asharuya, watching from afar, took in all of this.

She stood up abruptly, unable to contain herself any longer, her voice trembling with urgency and anger, and shouted:

"Kinja! What are you doing?! You promised me that you would let Black Dragon go as long as I agreed to the deal! You broke your promise!"
