If Connor hadn't recently discovered the fire-attribute Tier 3 enchanted cross sword in that ancient tomb, which enhanced his enchanted items, then in terms of enchanted items alone, Filo would be richer than Connor Ferguson, an alchemist!

The thought of that Tier 3 enchanted item, the cross sword, made Connor's heart race. He had already successfully tested his method for dealing with the cross sword in the simulation experiment with the auxiliary chip. It wouldn't be long before he could successfully transform the Tier 3 enchanted item into the cross sword. At that time, there was no doubt that Connor Ferguson's strength would be greatly enhanced along with this Tier 3 enchanted item!

While Connor was secretly excited about the third-tier enchanted item, Firo had already approached Milik within ten meters of him in the green mist within the magic circle. Although ten meters was enough for Firo to launch a sneak attack, it seemed that Firo wanted to take this opportunity to kill Milik in one blow. He continued to hold his dagger and quietly walked towards Milik.

Realizing that Firo intended to launch a sneak attack, Connor, outside the magic circle, had a glint in his eyes. He subtly pointed at the compass, and the next second, Milik, who was using his spiritual power to search within the magic circle, seemed to sense something from the surrounding green mist. He slapped the blue orb in his hand, and the orb instantly transformed into a streak of azure ice flame, sweeping towards his right side—the very direction where Firo was hiding.

"Bang!"

Although Milik's attack was sudden, Firo had been prepared to be discovered ever since he chose to launch a sneak attack. Now, because he was too close to Milik, Firo had no choice but to take the hit head-on. His seemingly ordinary dagger, under Firo's control, unleashed a streak of blood-red light, actually deflecting the incoming icy flames back into Milik's hand.

Seeing this result, not only was Milik very surprised, but even Firo, who was wielding the dagger, was somewhat taken aback. Although Connor had told him before that six magic cores of the Crimson Flame Demon Lizard were placed in the magic circle to greatly suppress the power of Milik's spells and demonized items in conjunction with the formation.

At the time, Philo thought that Connor's words were just a trick to lure him into entering the magic circle to fight Milick, so he didn't pay much attention to them. But he never expected that what Connor said was actually true!

The ice flame that the blue orb in Milik's hand had caused Firo a lot of trouble in previous battles, and he was very familiar with its power. The fact that it could be knocked back into Milik's hand with a single blow showed just how much pressure Connor's so-called "Ansalon Maze" had on Milik!

Realizing this, an overjoyed Philo grinned smugly at the dark-faced Philo opposite him. Confident in the magic array's assistance, he abandoned his sneak attack and charged directly at Milik with his dagger. Facing Philo's pursuit, Philo, whose every move within the magic array consumed a great deal of magic power, was naturally no match and fell into a disadvantageous position. He could only fight and retreat, trying his best to avoid being seriously injured by Philo.

Observing the battle within the magic circle with his mental power, Connor frowned as he saw that Firo was gaining the upper hand and giving Milik no chance to catch his breath. If things continued to develop this way, Milik probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

Originally, Connor had only one goal in this ambush on Milik: to quickly eliminate him. However, just now, Connor changed his mind and decided to add a small objective to the goal of eliminating Milik: to use Milik to test out Filo's full strength!

The reason Connor changed his mind was because of the top-tier second-tier enchanted dagger that Firo had just taken out!

Because Margaret needed blood magic, Connor never believed his alliance with Firo would last long. Once they overcame the current hurdle of the Church of Storms, he would kill Firo for Margaret's sake and obtain the Blood Moon Codex from him.

Therefore, in order to know himself and his enemy, Connor had been secretly gathering any information about Firo's strength. After this period of gathering, Connor was quite confident that he had a full understanding of Firo's strength. However, just now, Firo took out that dagger with the top-tier second-tier enchanted item, shattering Connor's confidence and making Connor realize that his gathering work was still far from adequate. So, in order to make up for his mistake, Connor temporarily changed his mind and modified the target of his ambush on Milik.

Milick is destined to die, but Connor cannot allow him to be killed too easily by Firo. Otherwise, Connor will not be able to see just how much strength Firo is still hiding. In order to be able to successfully kill Firo one day, Connor must squeeze every last drop of profit out of Milick before he dies!

It was with this thought in mind that, while watching Milik in the magic circle, he didn't notice at all that Firo had already lurked a few meters in front of him. So, while Connor was secretly sighing at Milik's lack of courage, he quietly helped him by reducing the green mist around him. Otherwise, it's estimated that Milik wouldn't have noticed Firo's presence until Firo launched his sneak attack.

Connor had initially thought that Milik, whom he had helped, would at least be able to fight Firo to a standstill within the magic circle, forcing Firo to unleash his full power. However, the current situation truly surprised Connor, who realized he had overestimated Milik's strength...

Seeing that if he didn't make a move soon, Milik would be doomed, and his plan to force out Philo's full strength would fail, Connor, feeling extremely helpless, could only point at the compass in his hand again. The next second, the suppression of Milik's mental and magical power by the magic circle was greatly reduced.

Having done all this, to avoid angering Philo, Connor immediately transmitted his voice to Philo within the magic circle in a slightly apologetic tone: "Philo, the magic circle's energy consumption is too high, and its power is decreasing! Finish this quickly and eliminate him!"

While Philo was engrossed in the battle within the magic circle, chasing Milik around in all directions, he suddenly heard Connor's telepathic message. Instantly, he flew into a rage, completely ignoring Connor's apology, and viciously cursed within the magic circle, "Connor Ferguson, you dog!"
