Bab 426: Grave Situation

"Hmph!" the Necromancer let out a distasteful snarl and returned the Spirit Bird's attack with a swing of his right fist!

Shing! The Necromancer's forceful retort split the powerful whirlwind into two! Then, he twitched his fingers slightly to summon a translucent hand coalescing with dark energy to choke the Spirit Bird by its neck. The Spirit Bird wailed in pain, flapping its wings to break free from the torment. However, its efforts were useless as the glaring radiance on its body dimmed in a matter of seconds. It lowered its neck and lost its breathing. The Necromancer tossed the Spirit Bird's carcass to the side as it dissipated into a speckle of dust after crashing to the ground.

This went to show the difference in strength between Darke and Rhode.
