Wizard Earl

After walking through the secret passage for nearly five minutes, Philo finally emerged from it. What came into view was a very dilapidated palace. Connor Ferguson, who had entered the passage before him, was standing by a stone pillar not far away, looking at him calmly.

Although he longed to fight Connor to the death immediately and then monopolize all the benefits in this palace, as soon as he entered the underground palace, Philo immediately noticed something amiss. He didn't know what materials the palace was made of, or what kind of terrible restriction it was covered by.

In short, while in this dilapidated palace, Philo felt that his mental power was being suppressed. He could detect mental power dozens of meters away, but now he could only detect within a range of three meters, which was basically useless. This undoubtedly shocked Philo. However, as if he had realized something, he immediately looked at Connor standing next to the stone pillar.

Logically, if his mental power is restricted in this underground palace, then Connor, who is also in the same underground palace, should not have escaped the same fate. If it is really as Philo guessed, then the restriction of mental power on the underground palace may not be a bad thing for Philo, but on the contrary, it may be a great thing!

Although Philo temporarily enhanced his strength through some secret techniques, giving him the confidence to defeat or even kill Connor, he knew all too well that even if he could kill Connor Ferguson, he would have to pay an extremely heavy price.

Therefore, Philo also harbored deep fear of Connor Ferguson. Among these fears, Philo was particularly wary of Connor, a psychic wizard, whose unpredictable and unpredictable mental attacks were impossible to defend against!

If the suppression of mental power in this underground palace applies not only to Philo but also to Connor, then this would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Connor!

For a mental wizard, being unable to use mental attacks might be an exaggeration to call them a toothless tiger, but it basically means their strength is greatly weakened!

Realizing this, Philo immediately fixed his eyes on Connor, trying to discern something from Connor's calm expression. However, to his disappointment, no matter how penetrating his gaze was, Connor Ferguson remained as still as a stagnant pool, leaving him completely baffled.

Although he wanted to glean something from the seemingly calm and collected Connor, Philo, who already knew Connor's deep cunning, wasn't too disappointed that he hadn't found anything from him. He understood that if he wanted to get any useful information from Connor, he would have to take action himself.

Therefore, Philo did not hesitate for long and directly attacked. With a thought, several blood-red streaks, almost tangible, condensed from the air and rushed towards Connor Ferguson with great momentum, as if he wanted to kill Connor in one fell swoop.

Sensing the terrifying power of the crimson streak of energy hurtling towards him, Connor's eyes showed not a trace of fear or apprehension. On the contrary, they revealed an undisguised look of delight...

Observing the joy in Connor's eyes, Philo didn't know why Connor Ferguson was so happy about his fierce attack. However, in that split second, Philo also sensed an abnormal atmosphere in the air and became alert. At this critical moment, Connor, facing the oncoming crimson streak, smiled and uttered a short incantation.

"Enzo Ziza..."

With the appearance of this strange incantation, a scene that Philo never expected unfolded. In the center of the palace, without any warning, a spatial black hole the size of an ordinary football appeared. This black hole possessed extremely powerful suction, and the crimson streaks that Philo had unleashed to attack Connor were visibly dragged into the black hole by this powerful suction, seemingly about to be swallowed up by this bizarre spatial black hole.

Seeing this, Philo was naturally unwilling. His magic, which he had cultivated for many years, had been devoured in such a bizarre way. He immediately tried to get the crimson ribbon to break free from the control of the spatial black hole's suction force.

Philo's idea was undoubtedly good, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried and used his magic to prevent these blood-red ribbons from being swallowed by the spatial black hole, he could only slow down the speed at which they were sucked into the spatial black hole. He could not change their fate of being gradually sucked into the spatial black hole.

Realizing he couldn't save the crimson streaks he had unleashed, Philo, to avoid expending more magic power and putting himself at a disadvantage in his upcoming battle with Connor, reluctantly made a decision: abandon the attempt to save the crimson streaks. Without Philo's delay, the crimson streaks were directly dragged into the spatial black hole, swallowed and digested without a sound, becoming part of the spatial black hole.

After absorbing Philo's crimson ribbon, the spatial black hole disappeared just as it had appeared out of thin air. This made Philo, who had been deeply wary of the spatial black hole, feel slightly relieved.

Philo, who had finally managed to relax, didn't feel at ease for more than a few seconds, because he noticed that Connor was looking at him with an almost pitying gaze. This not only aroused Philo's anger, but also greatly increased the doubts in Philo's mind.

Just now, when Philo was fighting the spatial black hole, it seemed like Connor Ferguson had a perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Philo himself was prepared to be ambushed by Connor. However, what no one expected was that Connor chose to remain indifferent to such a golden opportunity, watching Philo make the difficult decision to abandon the attempt to save the Crimson Ridge, thus wasting such a chance.

Although somewhat puzzled as to why Connor would do this, Philo knew very well that Connor wasn't acting out of chivalry or aristocratic fairness. While Connor Ferguson was indeed a hereditary earl of the Carman Empire, he was a complete scoundrel. His relinquishment of such a perfect opportunity to ambush him must have a far more sinister plot behind it…
