Chapter 98 Tracking the Mark

What a strange skeleton! It's supposed to be the weakest skeleton soldier, how could it have such attack power?

Jenner was completely baffled!

That's right! What just unleashed was Richard's secret technique—possessing a skeleton.

After successfully landing the attack, Richard immediately switched to a skeleton soldier and possessed him again.

Another sword strike landed, and Jenna, unable to defend herself, was slashed with a deep gash, blood spurting out!

With another sword strike, Jenna's kidney was pierced through!

"Richard!!!" Jenna shouted angrily.

The whole body began to turn red, and the original wounds stopped bleeding due to the rapid regeneration of muscles.

"Richard, watch out! She's gone berserk!" Ophelia shouted again from the side.

Suddenly, three skeleton soldiers were sent flying several meters away by Jenna's three remaining tentacles, like bowling pins. Jenna, now in her split-mouth form, charged straight at Richard.

It seems that the other party hates him to the core.

Even when affected by slow and weakness spells, the opponent is still much faster than a normal wizard apprentice in a berserk state.

But Richard was no ordinary wizard apprentice; he possessed the physical attributes of a formal knight and was agile.

Richard immediately retreated, having no intention of confronting Jenna in her split-mouth form head-on.

Jenna felt incredibly frustrated. Her burst of power would only last for less than half a minute. She had thought that since Richard had two shields, he would choose to fight her head-on. As long as Richard dared to engage in close combat, she would definitely drag Richard into her offensive rhythm. Even if the opponent had a lot of strange witchcraft, she was confident that she could kill him directly!

But to my surprise, this guy was incredibly slippery and escaped faster than a rabbit.

However, due to the Weakness and Slowness spells he was under, he simply couldn't catch up.

Behind Jenna, the three sword-and-shield skeletons that had been knocked away caught up and started hacking wildly at her from behind. Having suffered from the skeleton soldiers' strange attacks before, she naturally didn't dare let the three skeleton soldiers run rampant. She could only stop repeatedly to whip them away with her tentacles before chasing after Richard.

This process made her extremely frustrated!

She had considered killing the skeleton soldiers first, but Richard had summoned ordinary skeleton soldiers, each carrying a shield with excellent defense, not the kind of weak skeleton soldiers that could be destroyed in one hit.

Time passed by in this intermittent rhythm of fighting and stopping.

Soon, the redness on Jenna's body began to fade, indicating that her berserk mode had been activated.

Oh no! Jenna felt a chill run down her spine.

But the next second, Jenner's face hardened, and she uttered ancient syllables!

Upon hearing this, Richard knew he was in trouble! This was Hutt language, a language passed down from ancient wizards. Generally speaking, spells that require Hutt language to be cast are extremely obscure and difficult to understand, but also the most powerful!

Richard immediately stopped running away and turned around to chant incantations and cast spells. In no time, a large hand formed from dark elements appeared out of thin air.

After Jenna finished chanting the incantation, all of her wounds healed, and new pink granulation tissue grew rapidly. Several octopus-like tentacles reappeared.

Sure enough, the Hutt language magic that Jenna had just used almost completely revived her, making her seem to have returned to her best fighting condition in an instant!

If it were an ordinary level two wizard apprentice, they would probably turn around and run away. The opponent is essentially two lives, so how could they possibly fight?

But Richard observed closely and found that Jenna's rapid healing and growth had exceeded the maximum capacity of her body. As a result, the human appearance on Jenna's face was decreasing, and she was becoming less and less like a human being.

It seems that this kind of witchcraft must come at a high price!

Richard thought to himself, "Then I'll go all out and see if you recover faster or I can attack faster."

"Shadow Grip!" Richard slammed down!

Jenna gritted her teeth and stretched all her tentacles upwards, trying to block the dark elemental hand from pressing down, but how could her newly grown pink tentacles withstand the grip of shadow?

Immediately, Jenna was like a radish, half her body embedded in the soft ground, seeing stars.

"Jenna!" The short girl saw this and immediately tried to help, but Andrea held her back tightly.

"Get out of the way!"

The three skeleton soldiers showed no mercy and continued to hack and slash. Jenna's newly extended tentacles, not yet fully mature, were far less defensive than before and were quickly chopped into a pulp.

Jenner is now like a human pig, planted in the ground, barely alive.

Just as Richard was about to use his secret technique to finish off his opponent, he heard Jenna's faint plea for mercy.

"No...don't kill me! My mentor is from the North Ring!" Jenna said intermittently, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

I don't care who you are!

Having learned his lesson last time, Richard is now incredibly ruthless!

Richard possessed the sword and shield skull, and with a single swing of his sword, he severed Jenna's head.

Immediately, the short girl Brandy screamed in terror, shouting, "You actually killed Jenna! You actually killed her! Do you even know who her mentor was?!"

As Jenna's head rolled to the side, a dark halo suddenly flew out from Jenna's body and enveloped the sword-and-shield skeleton who had severed Jenna's head.

Hiss! Richard was immediately alarmed and dismissed the sword and shield skeleton's summoning, sending it back to the Netherworld!

Richard had a high probability of guessing that the dark halo must be some kind of tracking mark.

From this perspective, Jenna is one of the more talented students in the Ring of North, having gained the approval of the Ring of North or her mentor, and having been marked by someone.

Whoever this person is, they are definitely a formal wizard, someone Richard cannot withstand.

Richard's face darkened instantly. Damn it! Although the one marked was his summoned creature, and he had immediately sent it back to the Netherworld, Richard wasn't sure if the other side was completely helpless against it!

Damn it, usually only second-level wizard apprentices get this kind of treatment.

Because a first-level wizard apprentice still needs to be observed, but after being promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice, the wizard's aptitude, temperament, and other aspects will be almost fully assessed.

Richard estimated that if it weren't for the invasion of the underground races, after he advanced to level two, he would most likely have been closely watched by the Ignis School and would have been marked with a tracking mark so that they would come to his rescue immediately if anything unexpected happened.

Unexpectedly, even Jenna is valued so highly by the Ring of North!

In the square of the Ignis School's headquarters, a black-robed wizard with a sinister face frowned. He had just sensed that something had happened to one of his newly accepted disciples, Jenna; someone had killed her.

But the tracking mark he set on Jenna had just taken effect, marking the person who killed Jenna, when it suddenly disappeared, which puzzled him greatly.
