Wizard Earl

Milik, who had already fought Firo several times, assumed that Firo was going to use the same trick again and play "hide-and-seek" with him in the vast Navas Forest. So he didn't think much of it and sped up to chase after Firo.

As a wizard who practices blood magic, Firo is not particularly skilled in speed. Although he possesses a spell called Blood Shadow Escape, which allows him to travel several kilometers in an instant, it comes at a great cost. Each use consumes a third of Firo's life essence and is meant for life-saving in critical moments, not for wasting in a situation like this. Therefore, in terms of speed, Firo is no match for Milik and was quickly caught up by him.

Feeling Milik gradually approaching from behind, Philo, though mentally prepared and not surprised, couldn't help but sigh. He then abruptly stopped and swung his hand behind him, unleashing a ten-meter-long, one-meter-wide crimson streak that hurtled towards Milik.

Although Filo's attack was sudden and perfectly timed, unfortunately, Milik was already prepared. The moment the crimson streak approached Milik, he coldly uttered a spell:

"Arthdal!"

With Milik's incantation, the crimson ribbon that Filo had been aiming at Milik was immediately covered with a layer of ice shards and stopped abruptly when it was still some distance from Milik. Then, Milik lightly tapped the crimson ribbon, and the frozen ribbon immediately emitted a series of crisp sounds. A second later, the crimson ribbon was frozen into countless ice blocks that rolled to the ground.

This sudden turn of events surprised even Philo, who had some understanding of Milik's methods. At that moment, Milik seized the opportunity and rushed to Philo's side, a blue orb-shaped magical item appearing in his hand.

Having already experienced the power of this blue orb, Philo's eyes immediately showed a hint of fear. He instantly flicked his fingers, and countless blood-red threads, reeking of blood, shot out from his hands in all directions, weaving a blood-red net in the air, which then enveloped Milik.

Despite the crimson net blocking his way, Milik remained fearless, wielding the blue orb of light and charging forward. As he approached the blood-red threads that made up the net, the crimson light shattered into blue ice blocks on the ground.

Having broken through the crimson net, Milik was now less than three meters away from Firo. Seeing that his two consecutive spells had failed to stop Milik's approach, Firo, in his frustration, immediately activated a red and black metal bracelet on his wrist, which instantly emitted a red and black light screen, protecting Firo behind it.

As expected, Philo was right. A few seconds after he released the red and black light screen, Milik grinned and lightly tapped the blue light ball in his hand. This imitation of the third-tier enchanted item "Tear of Gatlampa" that Connor believed to be real immediately transformed into a streak of azure ice flame and rushed straight towards Philo.

"Click!"

The moment the ice flames and the light barrier collided, a crisp sound rang out. Immediately afterward, a layer of azure ice shards covered the red and black light barrier released by Firo. Upon seeing this, a clear look of pain appeared on Firo's face. However, under Milik's threat, no matter how much he regretted the damage to the light barrier, he dared not retract it.

At the same time, seeing that his ice flames had not harmed Firo as he had expected, Milik raised an eyebrow and quickly began chanting a spell. A deep blue ice mist rose up within a ten-meter radius of him.

Feeling the extreme cold brought by the icy mist and its suppression on him, Philo's originally handsome face immediately turned as ugly as a bitter gourd. He knew that Milick, this desperado, was going to fight him to the death again!

In previous battles, Firo had suffered greatly in the ice mist cast by Milik, and knew that he should never fight Milik in the ice mist. Once he encountered the ice mist, his movements and thoughts would be frozen and slowed down. So, a fierce look flashed across Firo's face, and then he punched himself hard in the chest.

Although it was unclear why Firo did this, the punch he threw at himself was quite solid, causing his face to flush red with blood. The next second, under the icy mist cast by Milik, Firo spat out a mouthful of blood at Milik. With this spit of blood, Firo, who had been in good spirits, immediately became listless.

Milik, who was locked in a stalemate with Firo, was caught off guard and had Firo's blood splattered all over him. Since this had never happened before in their previous encounters with Firo, Milik was somewhat taken aback by the sight of the blood. However, he reacted quickly, immediately trying to wipe the blood off himself.

After all, regardless of why Philo deliberately spat blood at him, his purpose was clearly to harm Milik. This method of harming oneself before harming others is generally considered an extremely powerful technique in the wizarding world. Moreover, Philo himself practiced blood magic, a kind of evil and bizarre magic.

Although Milik reacted quickly, to his disappointment, despite his best efforts to cast spells to get rid of the blood, the blood that Firo spat out seemed to be wrapped around him, and he couldn't break free no matter what.

While Milik was trying to get rid of the blood, Firo tapped the metal bracelet on his wrist slightly, which retracted the black and red light screen, and then quickly retreated.

By the time Milik realized he was about to run, Firo had already withdrawn from the area covered by his icy mist. He then coldly smiled and took out a small, but intricately rune-covered, harmonica from his spatial ring, placed it to his lips, and began to play it.

"Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling..."

As Philo played, the harmonica produced a clear and melodious ringing sound, and under the influence of these beautiful ringing sounds, the blood that Philo spat on Milick began to undergo a new change.
