Chapter 972 - Mysterious Throne (1/2)

A shower of berserk magic bombarded Nie Yan but failed to do any damage to him.

The Umbra Demon Kings immediately dispersed. Nie Yan’s path forward was cleared open.

Still, Nie Yan patiently waited. Only after the Umbra Demon Kings were a good distance away, did he dash forward with Gale Step.

Nie Yan only needed half a minute at most to reach the bottom of the cliff wall.

Thanks to the five Divine Eclipse Dragons working together to draw the aggro from all 21 Umbra Demon Kings, Nie Yan’s path ahead was completely clear. However, even this wasn’t enough. The two Umbra Demon Kings closest to him sensed him and roared out angrily. They charged toward him, brushing off the Forbidden Magic.

Crap! How in the world did they notice me?

Nie Yan was about a hundred meters away from the Umbra Demon Kings. Never did he expect that he would still be detected!

A tremble shot through Nie Yan’s heart as he watched the two Umbra Demon Kings surround him. He was no match for these two bosses!

Thankfully, Nie Yan had prepared for this kind of situation. He had Kalenna buff him with all sorts of blessings, giving him an explosive boost in speed. As long as he reached the cliff wall, he would be safe!

The two Umbra Demon Kings rapidly closed in on Nie Yan.

Beckon Doom!

Three Doom Sentinels appeared behind Nie Yan. He had Kalenna buff them with defensive spells. His speed didn’t slow at all.

With the protection of the defensive spells, the Radiance Rupture couldn’t harm the Doom Sentinels.

The three Doom Sentinels moved to intercept the two Umbra Demon Kings.

The two Umbra Demon Kings roared and cleaved down with their greataxes. BOOOM! Triple instant kill! The Doom Sentinels were blown apart. They were nothing more than ants in front of the Umbra Demon Kings!

However, the Doom Sentinels did briefly stall the two Umbra Demon Kings.

Nie Yan glanced back over his shoulder. He was happy to find his tactic worked. Without missing a beat, he summoned Lil’ Gold and the Violet Eye Dragon and protected them with shields.

The two dragons roared and went up to meet the Umbra Demon Kings. They could hold them off for a brief moment, but it still wasn’t enough. It was another 300 meters to the cliff wall for Nie Yan while the Umbra Demon Kings were only 50 meters behind him. They could still catch up to him!

Shadow Clone!

Nie Yan split into two. The real him vanished with Extreme Disappear while the clone fled in a different direction.

BANG! BANG! The two dragons also failed to withstand the attacks from the Umbra Demon Kings. Their mangled bodies arced through the air before lifelessly crashing into the ground. Instant death!

A Level 210 Demonified Lord was at least eight times stronger than a Level 200 Demonified Lord. Even Level 200 dragons like Lil’ Gold and the Violet Eye Dragon were felled with one attack.

After the two Umbra Demon Kings finished dealing with the dragons, they halted their steps and stood in place with confused looks. They sensed two presences. One was particularly strong and fleeing to the left. The other was rather faint and heading towards the cliff wall.

These two presences were naturally Nie Yan and his shadow clone.

After hesitating for a brief second, the two Umbra Demon Kings charged after the shadow clone.

True, the Umbra Demon Kings were Level 210 Demonified Lords, but they were also undead. Their intelligence wasn’t very high. So, most of their decisions were based on the aggro system. The shadow clone had the stronger presence. So, they went after it first!

The Umbra Demon Kings had no ability to think, let alone do something as complex as trying to determine Nie Yan’s objective. So, they couldn’t tell which was which.

Nie Yan smirked. Everything was going as he planned. He gradually closed in on the base of the cliff wall.

Only five seconds later, a notification popped up.

Your shadow clone has died.

However, in these five seconds, Nie Yan had already covered a distance of more than 100 meters, widening the gap with the Umbra Demon Kings to 150 meters. After killing the shadow clone, the two Umbra Demon Kings immediately set their sights on him.
