Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 4)

Chapter 686 - Shoe on the Other Foot

Even a casual swipe from the bone dragon could easily kill Nie Yan. Under the threat of the bone dragon, Nie Yan didn't dare to stop to deal with Qin Han. So, Qin Han could freely let loose with his attacks.　

Nie Yan fled with all his might for more than 1,000 meters, but he still couldn't shake off the bone dragon. Every time he opened up some distance, the bone dragon would quickly catch up. On the other hand, Qin Han was lagging further and further behind. A caster had no way of catching him.

Qin Han cursed up a storm. He would have Nie Yan's head no matter what! He'd left Necromancer Vorderman behind, who was in the middle of recovering. In 10 or so more minutes, Nie Yan would be dead. Until then, he just had to make sure Nie Yan didn't escape.

At this moment, Qin Han's voice chat rang. He checked the message. It was from Matchless Divine Sword.

「Qin Han, Calore's troops have set out, same with the legendary Karsi from the Temple of Light. Be careful! They're heading straight for the Holy Mountain!」Matchless Divine Sword warned. This was a report he received from his informants in Calore.

Qin Han knitted his brows. Vorderman had suffered serious injuries. If they got into a fight with Karsi, the outcome would be disastrous. He thought for a moment. It would take at least 15 minutes to get here from Calore. Within this time, he had to kill Nie Yan!

The two chapters from the Book of Order were in Nie Yan's hands. He would never get another chance to catch Nie Yan like this again. Furthermore, there was no telling Nie Yan wouldn't transfer over the chapters to someone else.

Qin Han decided to take the risk. He hoped Karsi wouldn't be faster than the rest. He really wasn't willing to leave just like this. At his command, the bone dragon chased after Nie Yan even more fiercely. Nie Yan had pretty much exhausted all his escape skills. Evading became increasingly difficult.

The bone dragon flew in the sky, then swooped down on Nie Yan once more.

Nie Yan glanced back as he ran for his dear life. He watched the bone dragon getting closer and closer, like a dark shadow blotting out the sky.

Shit! I'm done for! Nie Yan glanced at his skill bar, then at the bone dragon, and back at his skill bar. He had nothing left he could use. Simply using ordinary movements to dodge wasn't possible. The bone dragon was too large. Its claws alone could crush everything in a five-meter radius.

The bone dragon was already over Nie Yan's head. A powerful dragon aura bore down on him, making his movements slightly sluggish.

I can't escape! Nie Yan despaired.

In this critical moment, Battle Angel Kalenna woke up and stretched her limbs with a yawn. With a disdainful tone, she said, "Go away you stinky lizard!"

Kalenna waved her wand. A barrier of light enveloped Nie Yan, protecting him. This barrier looked no different from an ordinary Radiant Barrier. Nie Yan couldn't help but bitterly smile. What kind of use would this barrier be?

BANG! The bone dragon's claws struck the barrier. But contrary to Nie Yan's expectations, it didn't even tremble, let alone shatter. Instead, the bone dragon was sent flying back.

This barrier was as sturdy as ever, completely ignoring the bone dragon's attack. Nie Yan dropped his jaw in shock. He didn't expect such a turn of events. Ever since obtaining Kalenna, he had only seen her buff some of his teammates, maybe occasionally dispelling some debuffs or purifying some corpses. He never expected her to have such a powerful spell at the ready. The barrier she cast could repel the bone dragon's attacks. How amazing!

Qin Han was rapidly closing in. Seeing the bone dragon's claws swooping down on Nie Yan, his face lit up with excitement. Finally, that bastard is dead! I've finally gotten my revenge! He was already highly anticipating his spoils of war. But in the next moment, his expression froze. The bone dragon was knocked back, and in the distant open space Nie Yan stood unharmed, protected by a barrier of light.

Qin Han was dumbstruck. "What the..."

Ever since Necromancer Vorderman revived it, Qin Han had never seen anyone survive an attack from the bone dragon. Even those tanky plate-armoured Warriors buffed with half a dozen defensive spells would still be instantly crushed to death. But now, this mediocre looking barrier protecting Nie Yan had taken a hit from the bone dragon like it was nothing. He couldn't believe his eyes!

Nie Yan recovered from his daze. He glanced at the effects of the barrier.

Kalenna's Guardian Barrier: Reduces damage by 99%.

Armour Type: Divine

Durability: 125,786/132,000

Seeing this practically invincible barrier, Nie Yan was completely shocked as his face lit up with excitement. With this kind of barrier, he had nothing to fear! Based on the remaining durability of the shield after that one hit, he could tank another 20 attacks from the bone dragon without a worry in the world.

Nie Yan glanced at the somewhat lazy and sleepy-looking Kalenna hovering over his shoulder. He couldn't help but sigh in admiration. This little lass was too amazing!

Ever since Nie Yan obtained Battle Angel Kalenna, he rarely ever investigated what she could do. He barely even spoke to her. After all, he thought she was just an ordinary guardian fairy. Not to mention he was off put that he couldn't control her. She would use spells only when she pleased. This left him feeling quite helpless. He inwardly made a decision. After this was all over, he would properly uncover the secrets on her.

Perhaps Battle Angel Kalenna was an even more powerful existence than Necromancer Vorderman. It was just that Nie Yan never knew!

Kalenna's barrier was only the tip of the iceberg. If it wasn't for that previous crisis just now, he would've never known she could cast such powerful magic!

Nie Yan gazed at the shocked Qin Han in the distance. An evil smile appeared on his face. After being miserably chased around just a moment ago, it was about time he returned the favour in kind!

With such a powerful barrier protecting him, Nie Yan could do whatever he wanted!

The shoe was now on the other foot!

Qin Han was still a bit dazed, not daring to believe his eyes. He had the bone dragon pounce on Nie Yan once more. BANG! The bone dragon was sent flying back again. The barrier protecting Nie Yan showed no signs of faltering. Just what is this bullshit!? This was his first time seeing such a sturdy barrier.
