The Undead Knight's

The Great Magician - Sage Vs Assassin, Bag. 1

After the sound of the dry leaves was not heard from the footsteps of Prince Rainhart.

Grandfather Alf was still standing in his place, not budging at all. He stared intently at the shadow of the tree he had seen from inside his house.

He thought his Mana Barrier was active several hundred meters away from his house, not detecting any movement other than Prince Rainhart who came earlier.

"Hmm. . . how did he get inside my Mana Barrier?"

To disable it from the outside takes a lot of time and not easy. The crystal mana that Grandpa Alf had hidden within the tree encircled his house, making him able to move like a Treant if it detected a threat nearby.

"Does he have eyes that can see which flow is like me ?"

The spirit of nature cannot be seen in the ordinary eye, the spirit of nature is just a bunch of emotions floating in the air, unable to materialize, but mostly tied to the mana of nature.

Alf's grandfather, who was given the gift of Demeter, was able to see the energy of the mana-shaped spirit, with the control of the mana of Goddess Artemis and her elf blood, he can without difficulty increase the concentration of mana given from the body or where the surrounding nature to the spirit of nature so that it can be materialized.

"1 thing is certain to be able to enter undetected, he must move very fast and be able to see which flow on his Mana Barrier when it is not active."

Where the crystal is placed in the tree trunk, bound to the flow where Grandpa Alf. to deactivate it he just needs to decide which flow to where the crystal is.

"So he entered together with Prince Rainhart for only a few seconds at a time when the Mana Barrier was not activated."

Ending his analysis he smiled at the thought of his entertainment was still not over. But his shriveled forehead grew increasingly wrinkled thinking of the purpose of that person hiding in the shadow of the tree.

The Sylph wind blew from a distance, further adding to the frown on Grandpa Alf's forehead.

There was not the slightest movement from that person, just staring intently at Grandpa Alf as if observing him.

The sky slowly stopped its rays covered in clouds that were beginning to thicken. The dark and silent atmosphere was finally broken by the killing lust that came out of the person.

"Shadow Walk. . ."

The assassin's voice was slow, his presence getting erased by the darkness.

Although dark, Grandpa Alf's eyes can still see which flow is active on the sole of the person's feet.

Just moving so fast from 1 tree to another, trying to disturb the concentration of where nature is gathering.

Quickly the black shadow leaped high from the tree closest to Grandpa Alf. The round of salto in the air added to the power of the Dagger which he slashed from the right side towards the neck of Grandpa Alf.

"Mana Shield !!"

Grandfather Alf's magic quickly covered part of his head slowly throughout his body until his feet.

The high concentration of mana formed a transparent glass-like shield that was as hard as steel.

Trankk!

The sound of a small knife slammed out of the assassin's hand.

The Assassin slumped backwards as a result of the impact of his dagger's blow to the Mana Shield that was so fiercely protecting the grandfather.

With his right hand treading the slightly soft ground, he managed to land with just a scuff wound on his palm.

Sensing the heated air from such a high concentration of mana, the murderous chill seemed as if the melt had been made, ingesting the mana from the monster mage in front of him.

Without waiting for the uninvited guest to prepare himself Grandpa Alf began chanting Sage-class magic.
