Wizard Earl

Milik watched with slight horror as the blood Filo had spat out from his body, under the control of Filo's harmonica music, attempted to seep into his body through his pores. This sight truly startled Milik. Since it was a matter of life and death, he dared not be negligent in the slightest. He immediately cast several spells in succession, shrinking the azure ice mist that could originally spread ten meters to within one meter of himself. Although the range of the ice mist was reduced, its intensity increased by a full three times.

Under the influence of this azure ice mist, the speed at which the bright red blood that Filo spat out tried to penetrate Milick's body was immediately affected. However, a very small amount of blood still managed to corrode Milick's skin.

Milik felt as if his skin, corroded by the blood, was being bitten by thousands of insects. Waves of excruciating pain shot straight into his mind, causing Milik to howl in pain. However, with that damned black wizard Philo right in front of him, Milik, who was extremely proud of being a wizard of the Church of Storms, could not allow his pride to show his weakness in front of the black wizard. Therefore, he clenched his teeth tightly, staring at Philo with hatred, not allowing himself to make a sound.

Although Milik didn't let out any screams, Firo could still feel the pain he was enduring from the sight of Milik clenching his teeth. This only strengthened Firo's resolve to kill him...

The spell Philo is currently using is called "Blood Luo Technique," one of the most powerful spells in his blood magic. Philo has used this spell to kill several powerful enemies and overcome many life-or-death situations. However, although the Blood Luo Technique is extremely powerful, Philo never uses it lightly. He will never use this spell unless absolutely necessary.

The reason Philo did this was that although the Blood Luo Technique was powerful and unpredictable, making it difficult to defend against, the cost of casting this spell was extremely high. Every time Philo cast it, he would burn a portion of his own cultivated essence blood.

It's important to understand that for practitioners of blood magic like Philo, blood essence is the very foundation of their cultivation. Each drop of blood essence requires years of arduous training, which means that every time Philo uses the Blood Magic, his years, or even decades, of hard work are wasted.

Moreover, for a period of time after using the Blood Luo Technique, Firo's condition would be affected, and he would become listless. It was precisely because the cost of using the Blood Luo Technique was so high that Firo had not used the Blood Luo Technique on Milik in their previous encounters. However, in the current situation, Firo helplessly believed that he had no good way to shake off Milik except for Blood Shadow Escape and the Blood Luo Technique, and he also had to buy Connor time to set up the formation.

So, in utter desperation, Firo had no choice but to choose the lesser of two evils: Blood Shadow Escape and Blood Luo Technique. He opted for the Blood Luo Technique to deal with Milik, even though he knew that even with the Blood Luo Technique, he couldn't possibly kill Milik. However, given the high price he was paying, Firo hoped to severely injure Milik. But judging from the Blood Luo Technique's effect on Milik, Firo's hopes were clearly dashed...

As he watched the blood he had spat on Milik being frozen into ice by Milik's icy mist, a glint of light flashed in Filo's eyes. He suddenly exerted force while blowing away the harmonica, and the originally clear bell sound from the harmonica suddenly became shrill. With the change in tone, the blood on Milik's body immediately began to boil and start to burn like flames.

This sudden change immediately intensified Milik's suffering, pushing him beyond his limit of endurance and causing him to scream in agony.

"ah··········"

Hearing Milik's screams from within the icy mist, even though Firo was also somewhat listless due to the Blood Luo Technique and his own condition was not good, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. The anger that had been building up in his chest for so long due to Milik's relentless pursuit had finally been released.

Although she was in a better mood, Filo did not take advantage of the rare opportunity that Milik was injured by the Bloodlust Technique to further damage him, or to simply take advantage of Milik's weakness to kill him. Instead, a look of regret flashed in her eyes, and she turned and ran away without much hesitation.

If a few days ago a cooperation agreement had not been reached with Connor, then in order to get rid of the troublesome Milik, Firo would definitely not let Milik go now, and would not give Milik any chance to live. In any case, Firo had already completely broken ties with the Storm Church, and if he wanted to hide in the Navas Forest and continue to deal with the Storm Church, he had nothing to worry about anymore.

But now that Connor is there to help, it would be foolish for Philo to fight Milick alone. Even if he could take Milick down by himself, the price he would pay would be exorbitant. Given the limited mutual trust between Philo and Connor, paying such a high price to kill Milick would undoubtedly give Connor an opportunity to profit from the conflict. If such an opportunity were presented to him, Philo, knowing Connor's character, was absolutely certain that Connor would gladly accept it.

Therefore, given this situation, it would be better for Philo to let Milik go for now, and then lure him to that mountain stream a day later, where he could join forces with Connor to kill him.

This way, some of the risk can be transferred to Connor, reducing the risk borne by himself. In addition, it can also increase the success rate of killing Milik. Anyway, given Milik's never-give-up personality, Firo is not worried at all. After being injured by Firo's Blood Magic, Milik will give up the pursuit due to his strength. On the contrary, Firo thinks that Milik will be even more like a mad dog chasing him everywhere in order to get revenge.

Still unaware of the convoluted thoughts in Philo's mind, Milik recovered from the damage caused by the magic with the help of the ice mist half a minute later. Although he looked exhausted and miserable, Milik's fierce eyes were still scanning his surroundings, as if searching for Philo's whereabouts.
