Chapter 106 A Close Call

Seeing the Bone Dragon's giant claws descend from above, Nie Yan lunged forward. With a deafening boom, the two giant rocks where Nie Yan had stood were pulverized into fragments by the Bone Dragon as if they were tofu, sending rubble flying.

Luckily, he wasn't hit. Otherwise, he would have been instantly killed!

Taking advantage of the Bone Dragon not launching a second attack, Nie Yan cast Haste on himself and sprinted outwards.

The Bone Dragon flapped its wings and soared into the air. After locking onto Nie Yan, it swooped down again, as fast as lightning.

Shadow Waltz!

Nie Yan accelerated, running at his maximum speed. This Bone Dragon's attacks were too terrifying; he had to exert all his strength.

Flying debris struck him, causing damage numbers in the hundreds to appear above his head. The Stealth effect he had painstakingly activated was rendered ineffective.

The Bone Dragon missed again, but its attack didn't end there. It flapped its wings once more and ascended.

Qin Han and the undead mage Bordman flew towards him together.

"Damn it, kill him for me! Damn it, Crazy Thief Nie Yan, let's see how you run this time!" Qin Han snarled, directing the Bone Dragon to relentlessly attack Nie Yan.

Nie Yan barely dodged the Bone Dragon's attacks with Shadow Waltz, rushing into the forest. The Bone Dragon rampaged and roared through the woods, snapping trees as if they were rotten branches. The towering trees were nothing to it.

Fortunately, it only used physical attacks and didn't cast any offensive spells, or Nie Yan would have been dead long ago. However, the Bone Dragon possessed a powerful talent, a curse skill. Under Qin Han's command, to prevent Nie Yan from escaping, the Bone Dragon cast the Shackles of War curse on Nie Yan. Unless the Bone Dragon died, Nie Yan couldn't use a Random Teleport Scroll.

Nie Yan fled in a sorry state, feeling depressed. Was he really going to die here this time?

Seeing Nie Yan running around aimlessly, chased by the Bone Dragon without any ability to fight back, Qin Han became increasingly arrogant and pleased with himself. He and the gradually recovering undead mage Bordman rapidly approached Nie Yan, preparing to assist the Bone Dragon in killing him.

Seventy yards. Nie Yan gradually entered Qin Han's attack range. Qin Han waved his staff, and black flames rained down from the sky towards Nie Yan's location.

The scorching flames rushed towards him, and he was about to be hit. Nie Yan used Blink, suddenly disappearing from his original position. The attack landed on the Bone Dragon not far away, allowing him to evade Qin Han's small-area AoE magic.

Nie Yan had managed to put the Blink skill to good use, turning an offensive skill into an escape skill.

After Nie Yan dodged, without giving the Bone Dragon any time to react, he passed under the Bone Dragon's feet, reached out, and fired a silk thread, attaching it to a distant tree trunk. He tugged sharply, and his body rose into the air, leaping thirty to forty yards. As soon as his feet landed, he immediately activated a Leap skill, jumping another thirty yards, escaping Qin Han's attack range.

Nie Yan's sudden dash left Qin Han completely stunned.

Damn, he's slippery!

Thinking you can escape like that? Not so simple! Qin Han cast Swiftness on himself, his speed suddenly increasing dramatically, and charged in the direction of Nie Yan. The Bone Dragon was even faster, already lunging dozens of yards ahead, closely pursuing Nie Yan. If it were a one-on-one fight, he wouldn't dare to chase Nie Yan so recklessly, but with the Bone Dragon's cooperation, it was completely different.

The Bone Dragon's ordinary attacks could easily kill Nie Yan. Under the threat of the Bone Dragon, Nie Yan didn't dare to stop to deal with Qin Han. Qin Han could attack freely!

Nie Yan dodged and retreated, escaping over a thousand yards, but he still couldn't shake off the Bone Dragon. Every time he created a gap of a few hundred yards, the Bone Dragon quickly caught up. Qin Han, on the other hand, was being left further and further behind. There was no way a short-legged mage could keep up with him.

Qin Han cursed angrily. He wouldn't give up until he killed Nie Yan! The undead mage Bordman was recovering. In another ten minutes, it would be Nie Yan's death. He just had to make sure Nie Yan didn't escape during that time.

Just then, Qin Han's voice chat suddenly rang. He glanced down and saw it was Sentimental Swordsman.

"Leader Qin Han, the army of Calore is moving out. The legendary Saint Swordsman Carlin of the Holy Church is also on the move! You have to be careful! They are heading towards the Sacred Mountains!" Sentimental Swordsman said. This was information obtained by his eyes and ears in Calore.

After seeing this message, Qin Han frowned. The undead mage Bordman was seriously injured. If they encountered Carlin again, the consequences would be unimaginable. He thought for a moment. It would take at least ten minutes to reach here from Calore. In those ten minutes, he had to kill Crazy Thief Nie Yan, or he would never be content.

Nie Yan had snatched away two Chapters of Order. It would be very difficult to catch Nie Yan next time, and Nie Yan might even transfer the Chapters of Order in the meantime.

Hoping for the best, Carlin shouldn't be here so soon, so Qin Han still refused to leave. Under his command, the Bone Dragon's attacks on Nie Yan became increasingly fierce. Nie Yan's escape skills were almost used up, and dodging became very difficult.

The Bone Dragon circled in the sky for a moment, then swooped down once more towards Nie Yan's location.

Nie Yan ran wildly while looking back. He saw the Bone Dragon in the sky getting closer and closer, like a dark cloud descending.

This time, it's over. Nie Yan scanned his skill bar. There were no skills available. He couldn't dodge the attack using only ordinary physical movements, because the Bone Dragon was too large. When its claws landed, they could shatter everything within a five-yard radius.

The Bone Dragon was already above Nie Yan's head. A powerful dragon aura, like Mount Tai pressing down, made Nie Yan's movements somewhat stiff.

There's no escape! Despair crept into Nie Yan's heart.

At this critical moment, Nie Yan's guardian angel, Kallenna, stretched lazily on his shoulder and said disdainfully in a very contemptuous tone, "I hate these stinky reptiles."

As she spoke, she waved the miniature staff in her hand, and a circular white shield appeared around Nie Yan, protecting him inside. This shield looked no different from an ordinary Holy Light Shield. Nie Yan couldn't help but smile wryly. What use could such a shield be?

With a loud bang, the Bone Dragon's giant claws struck the white shield. The Bone Dragon's body shook slightly, and it was pushed back a short distance. The white shield remained unshaken under the Bone Dragon's attack.

This white shield was unbreakable, completely ignoring the Bone Dragon's attacks. This left Nie Yan dumbfounded. He never expected things to take such a turn. Since obtaining the guardian angel Kallenna, Nie Yan had only seen her cast buffing spells on teammates, occasionally cast a dispel, or purify some fallen skeletons. He had never imagined that she would have such a powerful skill, releasing a shield that could disregard the Bone Dragon's attacks. What a powerful skill!

Qin Han, who was rapidly approaching Nie Yan from a distance, saw the Bone Dragon's claws strike Nie Yan's body and thought that Nie Yan had been killed. His heart pounded with excitement. He could finally avenge the arrow from before! He was already looking forward to seeing the loot he would get. However, at that moment, the Bone Dragon was actually repelled. In the distance, Nie Yan was unharmed, protected by a white shield.

Qin Han was dumbfounded. How could this be!

Since the undead mage Bordman had resurrected the Bone Dragon, Qin Han had never seen any unit withstand a single blow from the Bone Dragon. Even heavily armored shield warriors, even with five or six protective spells cast on them, would still be instantly killed by the Bone Dragon. But now, the ordinary-looking white shield on Nie Yan's body had actually withstood the Bone Dragon's attack without any effect. This was simply unbelievable!

Nie Yan recovered from his initial shock and looked at the shield effect on his body.

Kallenna's Protection Shield: Damage reduced by 99%, Holy-type defense, Durability 125,786,132,000.

Seeing this invincible shield on his body, Nie Yan went from shock to astonishment, then into wild joy. With such a shield, there was nothing to fear, even if he faced the Bone Dragon head-on. According to the durability of the Protection Shield, the Bone Dragon would have to attack Nie Yan continuously twenty times to break it.

Nie Yan looked at the guardian angel Kallenna, who was drowsily dozing off on his left shoulder, and couldn't help but marvel, "This guy is so OP!" (overpowered)

Since obtaining the guardian angel Kallenna, Nie Yan had rarely explored Kallenna's specific effects, and hadn't even chatted with her much. Nie Yan thought that this was just an ordinary guardian spirit. What frustrated Nie Yan was that he couldn't control Kallenna. When Kallenna would cast what skill depended entirely on Kallenna's own mood, which was very helpless. Nie Yan thought to himself, "After this is over, I must thoroughly explore the secrets of the guardian angel Kallenna."

Perhaps the guardian angel Kallenna was an even more powerful being than the undead mage Bordman, but he just didn't know it!

Kallenna's Protection Shield was just the tip of the iceberg. If it hadn't been for such an emergency, he would never have known that Kallenna could cast such a powerful skill!

Nie Yan looked at Qin Han, who was at a loss in the distance, and revealed a playful smile. He had been chased so miserably by the Bone Dragon just now; this time, he would get everything back with interest!

With such a powerful shield effect on his body, Nie Yan could do whatever he wanted!

What goes around comes around!

Qin Han seemed a little unwilling to believe it. He manipulated the Bone Dragon to pounce on Nie Yan again. With a bang, the Bone Dragon was pushed back again. The Protection Shield on Nie Yan's body remained motionless. What the hell was this! It was the first time Qin Han had seen such a sturdy shield.
