Mage Veigar

Chapter 97 The Dying Man
"who!"

When the door was shattered, Magician Ellison shouted.

Vega did not answer Ellison's question, he just kept his eyes fixed on Ellison.

Ellison didn't know Vega, but it was impossible for Bray not to know Vega, because Vega had become his nightmare, and everything he had was destroyed in Vega's hands.

But why is Vega here?
A change of thought.

Bray realized that Vega might not have been thrown away by him, but followed him here.

He said in a trembling voice: “Vega, you, you followed me?!”

"track?"

Although Vega was answering Bray's words, his eyes never left Ellison: "Stalking is a derogatory word. To put it bluntly, I'm just tracking Bray, a wanted criminal in the Empire."

"As expected..."

Bray gnashed his teeth and wanted to curse, but when he saw the weapon in Vega's hand, he immediately backed off: "Vega, no, Lord Vega, please spare our lives for the sake of our shared hardships. Even if you kill me, it will not do you any good, and it will only dirty your hands."

Bray begged for mercy, but secretly made a gesture to the magician Ellison.

The hidden meaning of this gesture is retreat. Bray has realized that the two of them are definitely no match for Vega, a professional, because Ellison has been mentally traumatized and cannot perform at his normal level. Retreating is the best strategy now.

Vega didn't see Bray's gesture.

But his eyes never left Ellison.

As long as Ellison made the slightest movement, Vega would react immediately: "You should know that begging for mercy is useless to me. In fact, compared to you, I am more curious about the identity of the gentleman next to you."

Bray was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face: "He is just a kind-hearted man who took me in."

"Um--"

Vega said in a long voice: "Good-hearted person... It seems that you are really lucky to be taken in by a powerful magician. I wonder if this magician knows your identity as a fugitive."

Vega emphasized the word "magician".

Ellison obviously knew that his identity was exposed. He did not answer Vega's question, but took advantage of the gap when Vega was speaking and tried to escape through the window with Bray.

Ellison is fast, and Vega is not slow either.

Vega, who had never moved his eyes from beginning to end, rushed in front of Ellison and Bray to block their escape route: "Don't leave in such a hurry, the guests have just arrived and the host is leaving. Isn't this a bit rude?"

"Little devil, don't go too far."

Ellison, who had been silent all this time, made a gloomy and dull sound. If it was at night, most people might have thought it was the humming of an evil spirit from somewhere.

"Lord Ellison, please calm down."

Seeing that Ellison was about to explode, Bray quickly stopped him and said, "Don't underestimate him because he is just a kid. He is a real professional. I'm afraid you are no match for him in your current condition. I think we should find a chance to retreat first."

"Oh?"

Ellison's eyes flickered when he heard Bray's words: "After all this fuss, it turns out he's just a professional..."

Before he finished speaking, Ellison suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist and attacked Vega.

If it were an ordinary professional, facing this sudden attack, he might have really fallen into Ellison's trap.

Unfortunately, Vega never let his guard down.

He saw Ellison's attack and met it with his backhand.

bang bang.

After a brief fight, the two separated.

Ellison sneered, "I thought you were so capable, but you're just a Level 4 apprentice. Even without using magic, it would be easy for me, a Level 5 apprentice, to defeat you."

Vega was not intimidated.

He smiled brightly, "I see it's not that you don't use magic, but that you can't use it."

"hateful."

A few words popped out of Ellison's mouth: "How much did you hear outside the door?" "I heard everything I should have heard, but what I shouldn't have heard..."

Vega said as he suddenly launched an attack: “I heard it too.”

boom.

The two men fought each other.

Because Vega took the initiative and was physically flexible, he temporarily suppressed Ellison, leaving him with almost no room for a counterattack.

"Little devil, don't go too far."

Ellison began to fight back: "Even if my mental strength is damaged, it is more than enough to defeat a Level 4 apprentice like you. I advise you to retreat as soon as possible to avoid losing your life here."

Vega’s offensive power did not weaken. “Are you finally getting anxious?”

"Humph, since you are seeking death." Ellison also began to burst out with terrible magic power.

Just as Vega said, he was indeed anxious, because he was sure that Vega had already reported the matter, and the Empire's reinforcements were probably on the way. The longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

"Flame Style: Fireball!"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Ellison risked brain death, forcibly stimulated his mental power, and released a fireball.

The fireball whizzed past.

Vega had no ability to dodge at this speed.

Once hit by the fireball, even a level 4 apprentice professional would be reduced to ashes in an instant. Ellison knew this very well, so when time was running out, he took a gamble and planned to kill Vega instantly.

Fortunately, he won the bet.

Although his brain almost collapsed, his still functioning mind told Ellison clearly that he was not brain dead due to the forced release of magic, and the god of luck was on his side again.

boom.

The fireball exploded like a grenade, and the burning flames engulfed Vega's young body.

Seeing this, Ellison breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the fireball is only a weakened version, ordinary magicians can even directly block it with the magician's shield, but it is still more than enough to deal with professionals.

But at this moment, the burning flames were like a piece of cloth being cut open, and a small body walked out of it.

A translucent shield blocks everything.

Vega shot towards Ellison like an arrow.

Ellison didn't expect that his magic was not enough to kill Veigar instantly.

In addition, his body and mental strength were damaged one after another, and now it was difficult for him to defend himself, let alone temporarily put up a mage shield, so Vega's unexpected attack hit him.

boom.

The magic defense was shattered like thin paper, and Vega's dagger pierced into Ellison's body. He was thrown backwards by the impact of the magic, smashed the table, and fell to the ground dying.

Because Vega controlled the strength.

Ellison was not killed, but was seriously injured.

Vega stepped forward and stepped on Ellison's bleeding wound: "Tell me your identity and purpose."

"Hahaha."

Ellison smiled darkly and evilly: "You bastards of the Empire, your death is not far away. Open your eyes and watch. The Kingdom will win in the end, and we will triumph."

At this time,

An inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly came over me.

Ellison released another fireball, this one just as powerful as the last.

Veigar didn't understand why the useless attack was released twice, and why the magic was released at such a close distance. Wasn't he afraid that the fireball attack would affect him?
