Wizard Earl

Chapter 217 The Scarred Man's Sudden Attack

The reason Connor kept Avilova was that he observed that she was practicing the Ten Thousand Serpent Pill and was about to succeed. As a mental wizard, Mental Shock has always been one of Connor's main combat spells, which has made great contributions to Connor's current status. Connor has always relied on it very much. However, as Connor's cultivation level improved, the bottleneck of Mental Shock also became apparent. Therefore, Connor has always wanted to improve the power of Mental Shock.

There are basically two ways to increase the power of mental shock. The first way is to enhance your own mental strength. The stronger your mental strength, the stronger the power of mental shock will be. The second way is to optimize the spell structure of mental shock.

Connor had already achieved the first method, albeit indirectly, by using the silver pendant to amplify his mental power. The effect was indeed significant, but unfortunately, it didn't meet Connor's expectations. Therefore, Connor wanted to try the second method: optimizing the spell's structure. However, while the idea was good, putting it into practice proved extremely difficult. The Mental Impact spell was inherent to the Abyss Secrets meditation technique Connor practiced, and the Abyss Secrets wasn't an ordinary meditation technique; it was a high-level one! Its inherent Mental Impact spell offered little room for improvement. Connor had attempted simulations using auxiliary chips, but unfortunately, these simulations all ended in failure!

Although he failed, Connor was not discouraged. He summarized his failures and found that if he wanted to successfully optimize the spell structure, he needed at least one spell similar to Mental Shock as a reference. The higher the level of the reference spell, the better, so that the auxiliary chip could analyze and absorb the advantages of the reference spell and then optimize these advantages into Mental Shock!

After evaluation by the auxiliary chip, the Ten Thousand Serpents Roar was deemed stronger than the mental impact. Therefore, Connor planned to keep Avilova until she condensed the Ten Thousand Serpents Roar Pill and practiced the Ten Thousand Serpents Roar for him to use as a reference to optimize the mental impact. This was Connor's plan. However, it now seems that he was being too idealistic, and the plan could not keep up with the changes!

As they pondered this, Connor and Margaret arrived at a manor on the eastern outskirts of Tunguska.

"Is this the place?" After carefully surveying the manor before her, Margaret asked Connor in a low voice:

"Yes!" Connor nodded seriously and said in a low voice, "The mark I placed on Averova is inside!"

Having received a positive reply from Connor, Margaret and Connor exchanged a glance and, in perfect unison, both of them vanished into the manor in a flash.

While sensing the mark he had placed on Avilova in the manor, Connor cautiously approached the mark's location! At this moment, he regained his composure, and a question arose in his mind: since Avilova had already run away, why didn't she run further away? She knew that he had placed a restrictive spell on her, and that if she got too close, he could turn her head into a rotten watermelon with a single thought. Why was she still hiding here?

Judging from the footage recorded in the crystal, Averova had ample time to run far, far away...

Although he had doubts, Connor knew he had no way back now that he had found the manor. If the other party really had a trap in the manor, even if he wanted to leave now, the other party would definitely not let him go so easily. Rather than that, he might as well go straight for the heart of the matter!

"hiss···········"

Connor's divine sense, far surpassing that of his peers, suddenly sensed a strange sound coming from not far away. Connor's pupils immediately shrank to the size of pinholes! The next second, Connor directly summoned the defensive barrier of the Castia Staff to protect himself!

"boom!"

The instant Connor's defensive barrier appeared, an attack struck it, causing the entire barrier to tremble violently. Upon closer inspection, Connor realized it was a fist—a fist with extremely rough skin…

Just as Connor was gathering his magic to prepare for a counterattack and trying to figure out who the fist belonged to, Margaret beside him launched her own counterattack. Countless dark red streaks of blood shot out from her curvaceous body, attacking the left side where Connor was!

"Click click click!"

As Margaret launched her attack with blood-red threads, a scarred man appeared to Connor's left. At the same time, a gleaming cross-shaped sword appeared in his hand. He twirled the sword in his hand and cut all the blood-red threads to the ground. But that wasn't all. After severing the blood-red threads, the scarred man continued to slash with the cross-shaped sword, sending several silver slashes hurtling towards Margaret.

With a single hand gesture, Margaret created a blood mist that enveloped her. However, the power of the scarred man's silver light slashes was clearly beyond Margaret's expectations. As soon as the silver light slashes entered the blood mist, Margaret let out a painful groan. In just one exchange, Margaret was injured by her opponent!

Upon seeing the scarred man, Connor's eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed inwardly, "It's him!" If he wasn't mistaken, he had seen this scarred man in Rune not long ago!

The scarred man showed no mercy to Margaret after injuring her. He swung his cross sword again, unleashing several silver light slashes towards Margaret. However, this time, before his silver light slashes could penetrate Margaret's protective blood mist, they were blocked by Connor, who was controlling the defensive barrier!

Feeling the tremor caused by the silver light slash striking his defensive barrier, Connor roared, "He's a high-level wizard apprentice! Bring out all your tricks!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Connor launched three mental attacks at the scarred man in quick succession. Then, he chanted a spell, and the Castia Magic Circle appeared beneath the scarred man's feet!

The scarred man, caught off guard by Connor's mental shock, was unable to escape from the magic circle in time. When he recovered, he found himself enveloped in the Castia Magic Circle.

"A magic circle? That's quite interesting..." Despite the Castilian magic circle suppressing his mental and magical power, the scarred man showed no panic, speaking in a low, hoarse voice:
