Wizard Earl

Chapter 176 Self-Destructing Storm Hammer

When the unexpected situation arose, Connor was only a little annoyed, but he didn't have any other emotions. He said that Walker was his prey, so no matter how strong the prey was, it was still prey after all, and it couldn't outmaneuver him, the hunter.

Now that Walker has become an intermediate wizard apprentice, he's the perfect opportunity for Connor to test the full power of the Silver Pendant!

Connor gave Walker a strange smile and gripped the silver pendant around his neck with his right hand. The next second, the smug smile on Walker's face froze instantly. He clearly felt that this dark wizard, who was originally a mid-level wizard apprentice like himself, was suddenly bursting with terrifying spiritual power.

Knowing things were going badly, the worm shell didn't hesitate at all. It immediately controlled its Storm Hammer and smashed it hard against the purple light shield protecting Connor's body.

Sensing Walker's actions, Connor was extremely satisfied. If Walker had tried to run away at the first sign of trouble, it would have taken Connor quite a bit of effort to kill him, given that they were both intermediate wizarding apprentices. But now that Walker had chosen to fight him head-on, Connor looked at him with a hint of pity...

"Thump! Thump! Thump!..."

The Storm Hammer, carrying violent energy, smashed down on Connor's purple light shield under Walker's control, causing it to shake violently, like a small boat in a storm, as if it might sink at any moment.

However, under the protection of the purple light shield, Connor remained as calm as a fisherman, steadily gathering his mental energy.

Connor was very confident in the Saint Laurent ring he had modified. Admittedly, the Storm Hammer in Walker's hands was very powerful, but no matter how powerful it was, it did not break through the category of a level one enchanted item. Although his Saint Laurent ring had undergone major repairs and had a limited number of uses, its grade was still a level two enchanted item. It would be impossible for the Storm Hammer to break through this purple light shield without hitting it dozens of times.

Seeing the purple light shield blocking Connor's path, Walker's face showed anxiety. Unable to break through after a long attack, he steeled his resolve. He would cut his palm to use his own blood to cast some kind of spell.

However, while the idea was good, reality was cruel. Connor, who had been waiting for the right opportunity, was not going to give him that chance. With a thought, he unleashed three mental shocks at Walker, amplified by the silver pendant.

Releasing three mental shocks in succession from under the silver pendant was already Connor's limit. According to the auxiliary chip's estimation, even with Connor's own mental strength as a limit, being hit by these three mental shocks would cause him a splitting headache and a certain degree of mental trauma.

As expected, thanks to Connor's meticulous planning, Walker did not perform as badly as Asamoah and simply "lie dead." However, in an instant, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his fierce face, which was full of aura, became ferocious due to extreme pain. From a distance, he looked nothing like a storm goddess, an arbiter of the world, but rather a terrifying ghost that had walked out of hell!

Just then, Connor's second wave of attacks arrived! Two invisible shadow daggers, gleaming with cold killing intent, swiftly attacked Walker's throat and heart from the left and right.

"snort!"

Walker grunted, and in the split second before the two shadowy daggers were about to claim his life, he displayed the decisiveness of an arbitrator of the Church of Storms.

Walker, whose head was throbbing from the mental shock, was unable to dodge perfectly even though he could feel the air being torn apart by the shadow daggers in front of him. He could only barely twist his body to avoid his vitals. One of the shadow daggers pierced his abdomen and the other his shoulder. Crimson blood from the wounds spurted onto the ground like a fountain.

Walker, who had suffered such a severe injury, swayed violently. He managed to keep standing only through his strong will, but even so, it was clear to the naked eye that his whole body was trembling.

However, just as Connor mentally manipulated the Shadow Dagger to pull it from the wound, preparing to launch a second attack, Walker, covered in blood, roared angrily and swung his Storm Hammer, slamming the Shadow Dagger, which had lost its stealth effect, to the ground.

The Shadow Dagger, having suffered such a heavy blow, immediately took effect on Connor. Connor instantly felt as if his head had been hit hard with a club, his mouth filled with a metallic taste, and a mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

After slowly wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, Connor's gaze towards Walker turned icy cold. Without hesitation, countless black sand particles appeared around him. He pointed at Walker with one hand, and these black sand particles immediately surged towards Walker under his control.

Although he didn't know what strange magic Connor had used, Walker clearly wasn't going to let Connor succeed. With a low growl, the blood spurting from his wounds transformed into countless tiny storms. These tiny storms converged and instantly formed four medium-sized tornado pillars, which formed a square, protecting Walker within it and resisting the black sand light released by Connor.

Seeing that his self-created spell, Ruyi Shadow Light, was actually locked in a stalemate with Walker's Wind-Breaking Pillar, a fierce glint flashed in Connor's eyes. He instantly pushed the Silver Pendant to its limit, and the terrifying amplification effect of the Silver Pendant was immediately apparent. The Ruyi Shadow Light's momentum surged, and in just one breath, it compressed the stalemate wind pillar down to only a tiny bit of space.

"You black wizard brat, your Grandpa Walker will fight you to the death!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Walker let out a desperate roar, and the energy fluctuations of the Storm Hammer in his hand suddenly doubled.

Oh no! This guy is going to self-destruct Storm Hammer!

As an alchemist who frequently handles enchanted items, Connor didn't even need to react; he instinctively understood what Walker was about to do.

With a thought, the purple light shield reappeared in front of Connor, completely covering his body.

"boom!"

Walker was a ruthless man. To fight for a sliver of hope, he resolutely self-destructed his prized possession, the Storm Hammer. However, the terrifying shockwave from the Storm Hammer's explosion was indiscriminate; it showed no mercy just because you were its former owner. While destroying Connor's Shadow Magic, it also tore Walker's massive body to shreds...

However, at that very moment, a sphere of light appeared and flew directly into the distance…
