Wizard Earl

"Connor Ferguson's psychological attacks are extremely powerful; you must be careful!"

Seeing that Anna Lehena was no longer trying to dissuade him, Diego Lopez, who had fought Connor, recalled the situation and immediately spoke to Anna Lehena again, reminding her:

In response to Diego Lopez's reminder, Anna Lehna nodded and said, "I know. I've already checked your Divine Sea injuries. This Connor Ferguson seems to have mastered his teacher Reyes's Mental Storm... He's really troublesome!"

Upon hearing Anna Lehna's exclamation, Diego Lopez, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Noticing Diego Lopez's expression, Anna Lehna immediately looked at him and said, "You want to ask if attacking Connor Ferguson could lure out his teacher, Reyes?"

Diego Lopez looked somewhat embarrassed after Anna Lehena exposed his thoughts, but he still nodded honestly.

"To be honest, I don't know if that cunning old fox Reyes will show his true colors because of this, but that's enough for the higher-ups to think so. They are the ones who make the decisions, and we are just responsible for doing the work..." Anna Lehena said calmly. Although her tone was calm, there was a hint of bitterness in her words.

Diego Lopez remained silent in response to Anna Lehena's words, only nodding quietly, seemingly agreeing with her assessment.

Just as the atmosphere between the two was becoming somewhat awkward, the middle-aged beauty Anna Lehena suddenly seemed to sense something, her expression changed slightly, and she immediately took out a crystal ball that emitted a faint red light from her spatial ring.

Upon seeing the red-glowing crystal ball, Diego Lopez's expression changed. He undoubtedly understood what the crystal ball's appearance signified.

Just then, a low curse came from outside the farmhouse: "Damn the restriction..."

The next second after that complaint, another voice, sounding somewhat helpless, rang out from outside the farmhouse.

"Bispin, you're such an idiot! I told you this place has a restriction, and you still triggered it!"

After those two sounds, the tranquility of the night outside the farmhouse was completely shattered, with a series of explosions and attacks erupting one after another.

"It's Bispin and Southgate!" Anna Lehena said in a low voice from inside the farmhouse. She recognized their identities from their voices. After she finished speaking, Anna Lehena and Diego Lopez both fell into a brief silence. They both understood that Bispin and Southgate were Professor Reyes's trusted subordinates, so after their attack on Connor Ferguson, these two sneaking here in the dead of night were definitely not going to get away unscathed!

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had set up a lot of restrictions outside the farmhouse where they were hiding for early warning and defense, Bispin and Southgate might have already attacked them. However, even with the restrictions outside the farmhouse, it wouldn't be able to delay them for very long.

After assessing the situation outside the farmhouse, Diego Lopez took a deep breath and spoke to Anna Lehena in front of him:

"You go, I'll cover your retreat!"

Hearing Diego Lopez's words, Anna Lehena was undoubtedly deeply moved. In his prime, Diego Lopez could only flee in defeat against Bispin and Southgate outside. Now, severely wounded, he was going to cover her retreat, and she knew all too well what his fate would be. Even knowing Diego Lopez's inevitable end, Anna Lehena still instinctively said:

"Then what will you do...?"

In response to Anna Lehna's question, Diego Lopez waved his hand and said calmly, "Given my current physical condition, even if I ran, I couldn't get very far. Sooner or later, Bisping and Southgate would catch up with me. If we both try to go together, neither of us will escape. In that case, I might as well make my death more meaningful!"

Diego Lopez paused for a moment, then looked at Anna Lehena and said, "Thank you so much for the potions you've given me these past few days, Madam. I have no way to repay you, so I can only help you this one last time. When Bispin and Southgate rush in, I will activate a secret technique to hold them off. You can then escape in the chaos. Don't worry, I won't fall into their hands!"

Anna Lehna instinctively wanted to refuse Diego López's suggestion, but reason told her that it was the best way to handle the situation. So after thinking for a few seconds, under Diego López's gaze, she silently nodded, agreeing with his idea.

Seeing Anna Lehena nod, Diego Lopez smiled slightly. He hated owing favors to others. Although he had narrowly escaped with his life during his fight with Connor Ferguson, he had also fallen into a coma and was on the verge of death due to his excessive weight. If it weren't for Anna Lehena's medicine and treatment, he might already be dead. Therefore, he truly wanted to repay Anna Lehena's kindness.

As the explosions outside grew fainter, the barriers they had set up outside were gradually destroyed by Bisping and Southgate. Diego Lopez's originally pale face gradually turned rosy, eventually becoming an unnatural flush.

Diego Lopez, who had already activated the secret technique, felt the power that had been replenished in his body and become somewhat violent. His heart was filled with complex emotions. He didn't know why, but in the last moments of his life, he suddenly thought of Connor Ferguson.

If he hadn't insisted on avenging Reyes's aid in hunting him down with the Dark Beacon after arriving in Frosinone that day, ignoring Anna Lehena's objections and rushing to attack Connor Ferguson before fully understanding his strength, he wouldn't be so badly injured now, and naturally wouldn't be in this desolate state...

Thinking of this, Diego Lopez sighed inwardly. He had once confidently told Connor that he was Diego Lopez and that he would take Connor's life, but now it seemed that he would most likely break his promise and not be able to keep his word!
