Chapter 586

A cry came from behind her. Only then did Yu Qingsu realize that the Death Scripture had just kissed her neck. She couldn't help but shiver.

"What … What is that thing!?" Even though Yu Qingsu had encountered countless undead, she had never heard of a goat-horned demon that could turn into a shadow.

The shadow had been injured quite badly by the Sacred Shield. It screamed and fled to a dark corner of the tomb. Yu Qingsu only saw its sinister and strange face the moment she turned her head.

"Hehe, you have to thank me for being more experienced and knowledgeable than you so-called experts on the list. That's a Throat-slicing Horned Demon, the most dangerous species among the Phantom Generals. Their ability to ambush Shadow Mages is better than most Shadow Mages. They can even crawl out from your shadow and climb onto your back without you noticing, before slowly slitting your throat. Many powerful Mages like you were killed by them unknowingly. They never kill ordinary Mages, but only the elites of the Mages. If the undead had a ranking, the Throat-slicing Horned Demon would surely be at the top! "explained Shorty.

Mo Fan nodded slightly. No wonder he felt like the Cloth-wrapped Corpse General was trying to set them up. It turned out that it had been posing on purpose. It did not even bother killing Scar Face, who was dragged away by the Cloth-wrapped Corpse General, just to attract everyone's attention, so the Throat-slicing Horned Demon could sneakily eliminate Yu Qingsu, who was the biggest threat to them!

Unfortunately, the Cloth-wrapped Corpse General had miscalculated, too. It was most likely trying to keep the group busy, so they would not be able to defend themselves against the Throat-slicing Horned Demon's Fleeing Shadow. To their surprise, Mo Fan's Flame Belle was chasing them all around the tomb. Shorty, who had nothing to do, glanced at his surroundings. Since he possessed the Light Element, he was more sensitive to darkness than Mo Fan. After all, it was a repulsive element!

The timely Light Protection: Sacred Shield had instantly nullified the two cunning, cunning undead's plan. It was hard to tell how many Magicians they had killed with such a vicious method!

"This Cloth-wrapped Corpse General is most likely not an undead, but a living dead. It's going to be a disaster if we keep it alive. We have to get rid of it. And that Throat-slicing Horned Demon, if it had snuck behind us, many of our members would have their throats slit while they were drawing Star Patterns! "Mo Fan said to the other three.

Mo Fan finally understood Yao Nan's intention. Yao Nan was most likely aware that there was something wrong with the Corpse General, thus he had purposely asked them to take it out on their own.

It turned out that Yao Nan was indeed a capable Hunter. He was able to immediately notice the hidden dangers that might cause the team to collapse in the middle of a chaotic battle.

"Shorty, Scar Face, Qing Lajiao, find that Throat-slicing Horned Demon and kill it. Leave the Cloth-wrapped Corpse General to me and my daughter," Mo Fan displayed the demeanor of a vice-captain.

Yu Qingsu was no longer as stubborn as before after witnessing the strength of Mo Fan's little Summoned Doll. Besides, there was no way she was going to keep the creature that had almost killed her.

"With me here, I'll see where that asshole can hide after a few Brilliant Lights!" said Shorty heroically.

Many people thought the Light Element was not that useful. The slightly effective Light Protection: Sacred Shield was not as sturdy and spacious as the Rock Barrier of the Earth Element. As a matter of fact, only the average Magicians would think the Light Element was useless. However, in some special situations, such as the Throat-slicing Horned Demon, the Light Element was perfectly useful.

Any other Element, regardless of how strong its damage or control was, was completely useless against the Throat-slicing Horned Demon. You would not even be able to find it, unless your spells were able to cover the entire chamber. Otherwise, you would never be able to hurt the Throat-slicing Horned Demon. Meanwhile, the demon hiding in the dark would continue to lurk around Magicians, or even tail them. If a Magician let their guard down, they would spit out blood from their throats!

Shorty had been a Hunter for a long time. He had heard of many stories. He once heard of a team of ten elite Hunters clearing out an Undead Tomb. They had cleansed all the undead in the tomb and returned with lots of treasures. However, they had died one after another on their way back. By the time they reached the safe zone, the team was only left with one Hunter …

The Throat-slicing Horned Demon!

It was Shorty's first time hearing about such a demon. Every member of the team had the ability to kill a Warrior-level demon creature on their own, yet they had all died to the Throat-slicing Horned Demon. Even though they knew the Horned Demon was the culprit, they could not do anything about it. So what if one of them died? Two.

Unfortunately, there was no Light Mage among the ten of them.

As a matter of fact, as long as a Light Magician was around, the tragedy would not have happened.

Shorty was not willing to go to other cities, as Light Magicians were more useful in the Ancient Capital, especially those with the Light Element like him!

Shorty admitted that it was his first time encountering a Throat-slicing Horned Demon, but as a Light Magician, he was the father of the demon. The area covered by a single Brilliant Light was so huge that it could easily light up the entire chamber. No matter where the Throat-slicing Horned Demon was hiding, its silhouette would still be clearly illuminated by the white light!

"Brilliant Light!" A ball of white light appeared on Shorty's palm.

He tossed it into the air. The ball of light immediately split into thousands of rays and sprinkled down on the chamber. The presence of death in the chamber was quite strong to begin with. The light had the perfect purifying effect, driving the dark mist away.

Yu Qingsu scanned her surroundings, searching for the Throat-slicing Horned Demon.

The light was very bright, allowing her to see the chamber clearly. However, even though the light had filled up the entire chamber, she still could not find any trace of the Throat-slicing Horned Demon.

"Did it escape through another tunnel?" asked Yu Qingsu with a frown.

"Humph, that son of a b * * ch is trying to play mind games with me. There's no sign of it in the chamber, meaning it's hiding behind the pillars!" Shorty burst out laughing. He was mocking the Throat-slicing Horned Demon's little trick.

Yu Qingsu did not waste any time. She summoned a bolt of lightning in her hand and flung it at the pillar. The lightning marks immediately spread to the back of the pillar.

Soon, the path of the lightning arcs changed, indicating that there was something behind the pillar. As the number of lightning marks increased, the outline of a demon was drawn out by the lightning arcs …

After all, Lightning Strike was only a Basic Spell. Its paralyzing effect on the Phantom General was not too strong. The Throat-slicing Horned Demon immediately fled when it realized it had been found!

"I'll keep using the Brilliant Light to stop it from using Fleeing Shadow. You guys go ahead and kill it. Once it's found, it's no different than a Servant-class demon if it can't use Fleeing Shadow," said Shorty with a smile.

Scar Face had finally caught his breath. He gave Shorty a thumbs up.
