Wizard Earl

Despite being scolded by Philo, Connor, who had secretly plotted against him, could only pretend not to hear it in order not to provoke Philo again, and continued to observe the situation in the magic circle.

Inside the magic circle, Milik was stunned for a moment upon hearing Philo call out Connor's name, then instantly flew into a rage, roaring at the magic circle's light screen: "Connor Ferguson, you damned bastard! How dare you betray the Church of Storms and collude with Philo! The Church will punish you! You will be hanged! Vultures will devour your entrails! And everyone in the Ferguson family will die! Die!..."

Hearing Milik's completely irrational shouts, Connor's eyes gradually turned cold. If Milik wasn't still of some use to him, Connor would have already torn him to pieces based on his words.

Philo didn't seem to realize that Connor was secretly plotting against him, helping Milik. However, he was clearly furious at Connor's "dropping the ball" behavior. But since he was currently trapped in the magic circle and restrained by Connor, he couldn't say much. However, when Milik was frantically shouting at Connor, he seemed to be happy to see it happen and didn't continue to pursue him, giving Milik some breathing room to insult Connor.

Although he felt a surge of satisfaction at Milik's tirade against Connor, Philo was still quite sensible. He knew that while it was satisfying to hear Milik berate Connor, if he was given too much time to recover, he would have to bear the consequences himself. So, after letting Milik rant about Connor for about ten seconds, Philo silently struck again, his daggers flashing as he unleashed a cross-shaped blood slash at Milik.

Although Milik hurled a torrent of abuse at Connor and the Ferguson family, it didn't mean he was completely blinded by rage. He used those precious few seconds to quickly recover some of his mana within the magic circle while cautiously keeping an eye on Philo not far away. When Philo attacked again, Milik's robes flashed with blue light, narrowly dodging the cross-shaped blood slash. The next second, he reappeared in another corner of the magic circle.

Seeing that Milik had dodged his sneak attack, Filo's heart sank. However, it wasn't because the sneak attack had failed, but because the Anseron Maze had greatly reduced the suppression of Milik's mental and magical power. When the suppression was at its peak, Milik simply couldn't have dodged as quickly as he could now.

If the magic array can only maintain its current strength, then taking down Milik might really require a bit more effort...

Having dodged Firo's attack, Milik hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath before making a snap decision. He swiftly pulled a wooden box from his spatial ring, placed a jujube-sized, dark green fruit with a faint, fishy smell inside, and popped it directly into his mouth. His entire process was swift and decisive, taking only about two seconds. Even if Connor and Firo wanted to stop him, it was too late; they could only watch helplessly as he swallowed the fruit.

"Green Devil Dates!"

Upon seeing the appearance of the fruit that Milik ate, a name immediately came to Connor's mind, and the next second, the effect of the Green Devil Date appeared in Connor's mind as well.

In the wizarding world, the Green Devil Date is a rare and highly poisonous potion. Even a professional wizard has a more than 90% chance of dying if they take it. In terms of appearance and smell, the Green Devil Date is not only unique in shape, but also has a very strong and hard-to-disguise fishy smell. It is also bitter and astringent when eaten. It can be recognized at a glance, making it very difficult to use to poison enemies.

Although the Green Devil Date has significant drawbacks as a poison and doesn't serve much purpose, it has another effect that makes it worth as much as three thousand magic stones per piece in the Wizarding World, and it even seems to be in short supply. This effect is called—Rampage!

Wizards below the level two will experience the effects of the Green Demon Date starting to take hold three seconds after ingesting it. Their skin will turn an eerie green, and their energy will surge to two to three times its normal level for a short period. While the user remains conscious, they will be extremely agitated, filled with a destructive desire to destroy everything…

It is precisely because of this effect that the highly poisonous Green Devil Date is used by wizards in desperate situations to take their enemies down with them in a final desperate attempt. However, after taking the Green Devil Date, as the effects spread throughout the wizard's body, the user's mind will gradually become confused within minutes, losing reason and clarity, and finally dying from exhaustion driven by the desire for destruction.

Connor recalled the effects of the Green Devil Dates. The effects of the Green Devil Dates were already beginning to appear on Milick's body. His skin was turning green, and the energy in his body was becoming more violent. Although according to the records, these changes would cause great pain to the user, Milick seemed to be enjoying the changes in his body.

Realizing what was about to happen, Connor took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He then manipulated the compass to maximize the restrictions on Milik within the magic circle, while simultaneously transmitting his voice to Filo inside the circle: "Don't panic! In Milik's condition, he won't last long; he'll collapse from exhaustion. I've done everything I can to maximize the restrictions on him again. If necessary, I'll enter the circle myself to fight him alongside you, Filo!"

Philo didn't seem to buy into Connor's attempt to reassure him. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said to Connor, "I want to get out of the magic circle!"

Hearing Philo's words, Connor, outside the magic circle, paused for a moment, then transmitted his voice in a deep voice, "I know this might be a little unfair to you, Philo, but it's the only way right now. You should know very well that if I release you in this situation, Milik will come out with you. Without the suppression of the magic circle, neither of us will be able to deal with him!"
