Wizard Earl

Chapter 124 Regret or not?

Snake Eyes collapsed, but Connor wasn't much better off. Before he could even feel happy, the aftereffects of overdrawing his mental energy caused his face to contort in pain.

Ignoring the chance to finish off Snake Eyes, Connor, panting heavily, covered his head with one hand and pulled a vial of potion from his spatial ring with the other.

After drinking the potion to restore and calm his mental energy, Connor felt a slight relief from the severe headache caused by his mental exhaustion.

Amidst Snake Eyes's pitiful wails, Connor didn't stop. He took out three more bottles of the same potion from his spatial ring and drank them all. Only then did he barely feel his headache from overexerting his mental energy subside to a tolerable level. Wiping the fine beads of sweat from his forehead with a wry smile, Connor glanced at Margaret lying on the ground, finding her already unconscious…

Ignoring the unconscious Margaret, Connor unleashed his Shadow Chains and walked step by step toward Snake Eyes, who was still wailing.

It must be said that, as a high-level wizard apprentice, Snake Eyes possessed remarkable resilience. Even after being pierced in the vital eye by a crimson spear formed from Margaret's blood magic, his agonizing screams remained powerful and resonant…

At a distance of about ten meters from Snake Eyes, Connor stopped, not getting too close, and tentatively struck at Snake Eyes' head with his Shadow Chains.

"Click!"

The shadow chains struck the scales on Snake Eyes' head with a crisp sound, but an unexpected scene unfolded. At that moment, the critically wounded and dying Snake Eyes, whose eye had been pierced by the blood-red spear, strangely opened its eyes. However, its originally green pupil had turned blood red, and its eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"I, Snake Eyes, swear that I will curse you two, you despicable couple, with my very soul... Die!"

"boom!!!"

With a furious roar, his massive serpentine body exploded instantly, splattering foul-smelling chunks of flesh and green blood everywhere, accompanied by sizzling, corrosive sounds...

Just a second before the explosion, Connor had a premonition that something was wrong. He activated the Violet Ring, and a pale purple light shield protected his entire body.

After the explosion subsided, Connor glanced around and found that the once lush jungle and grassland had turned completely grayish-white, showing no signs of life.

"Beep! Attention, subject: corrosive snake venom is everywhere around you, extremely poisonous!" A cold female voice from the auxiliary chip echoed in Connor's mind.

"Hoo!" Connor exhaled a breath of stale air, a cold smile appearing on his face. He knew perfectly well that Snake Eyes, this high-level wizard apprentice, would not let him kill him so easily. Even on his deathbed, he still had to scheme against him!

Connor carefully scanned the surrounding grass with his mental energy, intently searching for something. While Snake Eyes' self-destruction was powerful, it shouldn't have been enough to destroy that thing...

After searching for a full ten minutes, Connor finally found what he was looking for in a small ditch—a diamond ring!

Connor carefully picked up the ring, a slight smile appearing on his face.

This time, facing Snake Eyes, Connor felt that he had suffered heavy losses!

The alchemical products such as the Bewitching Powder, Abyss Mist, and Dirty Bomb, which were painstakingly refined, have all been exhausted. However, compared to overdrawing one's mental energy, those are secondary. For a wizard who cultivates mental attributes, overdrawing one's mental energy is an extremely dangerous thing. If one is not careful, one will lose control, go mad, and become an unimaginable monster!

To achieve the dizzying effect on the snake's eyes, Connor had overdrawn his mental energy, showing absolutely no restraint. He was thinking, "If I'm going to die anyway, I might as well take a gamble!" Fortunately, Connor won his gamble; he's still alive and hasn't turned into a monster. However, while he escaped the death penalty, he's not immune to punishment. The aftereffects of overdrawing his mental energy will undoubtedly be a difficult test for a wizard with a mental attribute... If not handled properly, it could sever his pursuit of truth!

Connor wasn't a particularly greedy person; he was already quite satisfied with the current outcome. At least he was still alive, and being alive meant hope...

Stroking the diamond ring on his hand, Connor couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. This was the spatial ring of the Serpent Eyes! A spatial ring belonging to a high-level wizard apprentice—what could possibly be inside? Just thinking about it made him incredibly curious! If it weren't for the mental restrictions placed on this spatial ring, Connor would have opened it right now…

According to the spatial laws of the wizarding world, one spatial item cannot contain another control item. Otherwise, there is a 99.76% probability that the two spatial items will cause a spatial collapse, and the contents of the spatial items will be shattered by the spatial storm. Therefore, Connor did not put the snake-eyed spatial ring into his own spatial ring. Instead, he carefully checked it and, after confirming that there were no problems, properly put it into his pocket.

Connor walked up to Margaret and glanced at her with a complicated expression, his face full of conflict!

It has to be said that now is the best opportunity to kill Margaret. With just a thought from Connor, his Shadow Chains can pierce through Margaret's head and send her to the Storm Goddess to repent.

If he does this, Margaret will no longer be a threat to his identity...

"well·······"

After hesitating for a long time, Connor sighed, comforting himself that he and Margaret had a seven-day arbitration oath, and that Margaret held an extraordinary position in the Storm Church and was of great value to him... At the same time, he took out a bottle of medical potion from his spatial ring and poured it into Margaret's mouth.

Ten minutes later, Margaret slowly awoke in the carriage traveling along the highway, and her first words were: "Is Snake Eyes dead?"

"If you're alive, he's dead!" Connor, who was acting as the coachman, drove the carriage along the road while tossing a potion to Margaret from his spatial ring.

As a result, Margaret didn't drink the medicine immediately. Instead, she held it in her palm for a while, then looked at Connor with a half-smile and said, "Now that I'm awake, do you regret it...?"
