Kapitel 204: Taking Evils Head-on

After positioning themselves, the two gatekeepers heard the noise of a falling object. They looked out for the source of it, and they went terrified once they saw what the falling object was. 

"Philip!" 

At the base of the right tower, their colleague, Philip, was lying on the surface. Not only did he fall off the tower, which was meters in height, but a meter-long, ominous black stake-like object pierced his chest, cleanly penetrated his steel armor, and tore his flesh and bones. 

In an instant, Philip lost his life as his heart was crushed by a Level 4 Dark Magic spell, the Black Spear. Seeing his miserable fate, the two men could not help but cry his name as they were aware of his lifeless state. 

But they had practically accepted his fate and focused their whole attention on the one who made that atrocious attack. That scene made the two guards fear the one who cast that spell, as dark magic was commonly branded as taboo magic to practice.
