Chapter 531: The Return of the God of Light, Night City's Persuasion
"A Spell Singer? You mean that guy over there in black armor is a Spell Singer?" Clementine's expression turned from sunny to cloudy as she heard Night City's words.
Although she could tell from their brief exchange that the man in black armor was a mediocre warrior, she never once considered him to be a Spell Singer.
It was simply too far-fetched; after all, it was common knowledge that Spell Singers were physically weaker than warriors.
But the armored man who had just fought her not only had poor technique but also possessed physical attributes that far surpassed her own.
Otherwise, with such subpar combat skills, how could he have lasted so long against her?
The man's abnormal physical prowess made Clementine question Night City's claim that he was a Spell Singer. Was he joking?
"Borrowing your earlier words, this world is vast, and what you deem impossible is simply because you haven't encountered true power. Reality can be cruel, and the person you just fought is indeed a Spell Singer."
Seeing the woman's wavering, Old Bones realized that Night City's actions were likely to shatter her last shred of confidence.
To be utterly defeated in an area one prides oneself on is often more devastating than death.
As the 'Item Creation' effect dissipated, revealing the exceptionally 'boney' physique of the Squirrel, the mystery was unveiled, delivering a crushing blow to the previously confident Clementine.
"Undead? A Necromancer...?" Judging from the Squirrel's attire, he didn't resemble a warrior in the slightest.
But the moment he removed his armor, a powerful aura of magic that was suffocatingly intense confirmed to Clementine that he was indeed a Spell Singer!
"Well, he's not exactly a low-level Necromancer, but he's close enough. So, how does it feel to cross blades with a Spell Singer? Do you still have the confidence to claim that you haven't encountered true power in front of me?"
Sensing the deathly aura and immense magical pressure emanating from the Squirrel, the once arrogant and confident Clementine had no thoughts of continuing the fight.
Without hesitation, she pushed off the ground with her feet, feinted, and turned to flee!
The man was a complete monster; despite being a Spell Singer, he could match her sword skills.
If he were to use magic, she had no chance of victory. Retreat was the best strategy.
As a Spell Singer, based on his speed during their previous engagement, she believed she could outrun him.
But to her surprise, the Bone King instantly teleported in front of her and grabbed her body!
"It seems you enjoy tormenting your opponents to death. In that case, letting you die in the same manner might be a fitting end."
"With his arms wrapped around Clementine, the old bone began to exert force, and as Clementine gradually felt the pain, she finally realized his intention and started to struggle in fear.
The sharp, conical magic weapon in her hand aimed directly at the old bone's eyes and burst into flames.
However, the old bone's magic resistance was almost completely immune to such low-level magic attacks.
Although Clementine's body continued to struggle, unfortunately, the difference in their levels was evident. Even if the old bone was a spell singer, Clementine couldn't break free from his "hug of death."
Indeed, this was a true "hug of death"! Because in the end, the old bone's terrifying strength snapped her spine, killing her.
Gazing at the lifeless body in his arms, the old bone casually tossed Clementine's corpse aside. Then, with a curious expression, he turned to Night City and asked, "Night City, aren't you a worker in the Bahar Empire? Why did you suddenly appear here?"
"You might not believe it, but the ruins we're about to explore seem to be within this cemetery.
The battle between Nabe and Hiza doesn't seem to be over yet. You should go and check on them. As for me, I have other matters to attend to."
As Night City spoke, he approached Clementine's corpse, and the old bone noticed Night City's figure transforming. He changed into a new outfit and even produced a holy light effect.
Seeing Night City in this state, the old bone knew he was up to something.
However, he didn't ask further questions. After all, the old bone's personality had been almost completely erased due to becoming an undead, but his trust and care for his companions remained unchanged.
As the old bone watched him leave, Night City, now dressed as the "God of Light," took out a resurrection item from his storage space.
After a full minute of casting, Clementine, who had been lifeless on the ground, was resurrected by Night City.
The newly resurrected Clementine was completely bewildered. She was certain that she had been killed by that terrifying undead, but now... she had been resurrected!
This world also had resurrection items and magic, like the sixth-tier faith-based spell 'Resurrection of the Dead,' which could bring the dead back to life at the cost of a certain level and a significant amount of life force.
In gaming terms, it was akin to a "death penalty," where resurrection resulted in a level drop and the consumption of lifespan.
However, the resurrected Clementine didn't feel any significant changes compared to before, indicating that her resurrection had no death penalty!
"This world has such power; it's a miracle..."
"A miracle? You're not wrong. After all, I am a god, so my actions can indeed be considered miracles."
Hearing Clementine's muttering, Night City appeared before her with a million-dollar special effect.
When Clementine saw Night City with a pair of pristine white wings on his back, bathed in holy light and emanating a sacred aura, she was momentarily stunned.
If the undead who killed her was the ruler of death, then Clementine was certain that the figure standing before her now was none other than the God of Light himself!
