Li Huan took a set of clothes out of his luggage, and put it on Skeleton King.

“Tsk. I must say, you big silly guy. If you had flesh on you, you’d probably have a pretty good figure!”

After dressing Skeleton King, Li Huan surveyed his work with great satisfaction.

“You’ll have to put in more effort for me! You must be familiar with the saying “we rise and fall together”, right? If your master is eliminated, so will you! You’ll have no choice but to become the evil Arch Mage’s slave!”

The Skeleton King in clothes was the key to Li Huan’s victory.

Scouts summoned by a Level 20-plus Necromancer could only mindlessly report back to their master – how far the target had gone, and how fast he had walked. They would have no inkling of the number of people present and their classes.

Li Huan had a secondary Necromancer account before too! He understood very clearly what Candace had activated.

Li Huan decided to remain where he was, together with the Skeleton King that he had dressed up. And wait for Candace to come to him.

After a few rounds of inspections by the scouts, Candace would receive news that Li Huan had stayed in the same place for too long. Li Huan decided to take a gamble. He would let Candace think that he had overslept or was injured, so that Candace would come straight to him!

His guess was right. Candace’s body had been completely destroyed after the great battle the day before. At the last moment, Candace had used the Spirit Body Separation Scroll to barely save his own life. Fortunately, his years of evil research had not been in vain, and he had prepared a second body for himself.

However, his vitality had been greatly damaged. Plus, he had not adapted to his new body. The current Candace, compared to the period when he was undefeatable, was as different as heaven and earth.

His many years of hard work had been completely destroyed in an instant! All thanks to Li Huan!

Candace had been trying to recover his Mana the night before. So he was unable to make a move. But he had been using scouts to find out Li Huan’s position. But why did they seem afraid to approach Li Huan?

Could he still be hiding something?

The scouts reported back non-stop. It was already past ten o’clock in the morning, but Li Huan was still in the same spot.

Could it be that he.. Bah! He was not going to wait anymore! That day, was going to be the day of revenge!

Candace gritted his teeth, and dragged the body he was still not quite used to. He gradually got closer to Li Huan’s location.

He had no idea that with each step, he was stepping closer into Li Huan’s trap!

Eh? Why was there another person beside Li Huan?

What class? What level? He could not seem to tell?

After he got closer, Candace got a shock when he saw the ‘person’ next to Li Huan.

Who cares! The people from Temple of Life were still looking into his experimental site that day. Candace wanted to see who else Li Huan could have found to help him!

“Li Huan! Die!”

When he heard that terrifying roar, Li Huan was actually overjoyed.

Hehe! Candace had been tricked!

Li Huan was well-prepared!

Skeleton Summoning!

Skeleton King, who was beside Li Huan, attacked together with him. Two Skeletons immediately stood in front of them!

Candace saw that Li Huan and the person beside him did not get flustered at all, but had counter-attacked calmly.

He panicked a little. Could he be the one who had been tricked? If that was really someone from the Temple of Life, it would be the end of him!

But when he saw the Skeletons summoned by the two of them, that panic instantly disappeared.

“Li Huan, Li Huan! I was wondering who that was! Turns out he’s just a Summoner! I’m afraid you don’t know, so I’ll teach you one thing today! Summoners like the both of you who can only summon Skeletons, better not try to trick a Necromancer!”

That person could summon Skeletons just like Li Huan. What else could he be if not a Summoner?

That’s right. Necromancers could enslave the Undead. And Skeletons were a type of Undead!

Therefore, Summoners below Level 20 who could only summon Skeletons were doomed if they faced Necromancers!

Li Huan was not flustered. As a closed beta player, did he need Candace to teach him things like that?

Why didn’t he consider whether it could be a trap?

Candace’s mind stirred. He had been severely injured not too long ago, and had yet to fully recover his abilities. But his level could still completely suppress Li Huan’s!

The two Skeletons that Li Huan and Skeleton King had summoned immediately became his slaves! They turned around and charged towards their masters!

“Hahahahahahaha! You didn’t expect that, did you? The Skeletons you painstakingly summoned are just toys for me to play with!”

Candace took out a dagger from his waist.

A Necroblade!

Although he was a Mage, he had to use a Necroblade when he killed those Mage apprentices to conduct his experiments!

Relying on his stat panel, which indicated almost complete dominance over Li Huan, Candace decided to swiftly close in on Li Huan!

Mind Control!

Li Huan quickly reacted, and Skeleton King charged towards Candace immediately.

Candace would never have expected that even with a Necroblade in hand, that person would dare to charge at him!

“D*mn it! Do you all enjoy being Li Huan’s dogs that much? Fine! I’ll fulfill your wishes! In a while, I’ll show you how I kill him myself!”

They enjoyed defending against knives, didn’t they? Die!

The Necroblade stabbed at the chest of the body in front of him.

But he actually.. actually stabbed into empty space! The clothes were slashed by the sharp blade, but there was no flesh and blood inside, only a Skeleton!

Candace was stunned. That small brain of his, which had focused solely on the indiscriminate killing of the innocent, had no idea what had just happened.

“Aren’t you surprised? I’m also afraid that you don’t know, so I’ll teach you one thing today! Don’t stab a Skeleton with a knife! You won’t be able to kill it!”

Li Huan was not at all anxious to deal with the Skeleton soldiers that Candace had taken control of. They were too slow, and did not pose much of a threat.

“You!”

Candace flew into a rage out of humiliation. Just as he was going to flare up, the Skeleton in front of him raised its hand and threw a jab!

Followed by a left hook!

A right hook!

And then a swing to finish!

Skeleton King attacked continuously with both hands. The combination of punches made Candace’s mind go blank. He fell straight to the ground. It was a pity that his new body, which had not even been used for a full day, had to be discarded again.

Candace had completely lost control of the Skeleton soldiers. The two Skeleton soldiers quickly surrounded him, punched and kicked him.

With his increasingly blurry vision, he saw that Li Huan had picked up the Necroblade that he had dropped on the ground.

“No, no! Don’t, don’t! I.. I will give you all my years of savings and research results! All of it will go to you!”

As punches rained down on his body, he did everything he could to squeeze out those words.

“Why, thank you! But I don’t quite like that disgusting research of yours. You should just die!”

Li Huan could not be bothered to waste time talking to him. With a light swipe of his right hand, he ended Candace’s life of sin.
