Wizard Earl

Chapter 227 Living Corpse

Seemingly sensing that Connor had also appeared in the magic circle, Scarface's eyes flashed with a sharp light in the next instant. His aura surged and increased significantly. He swung his cross sword repeatedly, and four or five silver light slashes ruthlessly cut Connor's black knights and the shadow chains they were protecting into pieces!

Connor was not unprepared for Scarface's sudden outburst. With a thought, two black warriors appeared in front of him. The next second, the two black warriors were cleaved into pieces by the silver light slash, turning into smoke and disappearing into the Castia magic circle.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect you to use such a trick. But what a pity, what a pity, your plan failed!" Connor, who had used the two black knights as human shields, had already hidden in another position in the magic circle. While mocking Scarface, he also sent a telepathic message to Margaret to prepare to make a move!

"Heh..." Faced with Connor's taunts, Scarface didn't waste any more words this time, only responding to Connor with a cold laugh.

Scarface scanned the area around the magic circle but couldn't find Connor's location hidden within it. Instead, he resorted to brute force, continuously slashing silver light with his cross-shaped sword at the barriers surrounding the magic circle.

Connor, hiding within the magic circle, felt the circle teetering on the brink of collapse under Scarface's attack, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart. According to his and Margaret's previous plan, he had basically completed the task of weakening Scarface in the early stages and buying time for Margaret to prepare her ultimate move. Everything from now on would mainly be done by Margaret, and Connor only needed to stand by and protect Margaret to prevent Scarface from escaping.

But seeing Scarface's actions, Connor had a question in his mind. Scarface, who had fought them before, couldn't be unaware of his and Margaret's tactics. He should know very well that Margaret, who was preparing to unleash her ultimate move, was waiting for him. Although Scarface had just concealed his strength to try and ambush him, judging from the strength he was showing now, the magic stone bomb had still left him with serious injuries. Connor didn't think he was a match for Margaret, who was now fully prepared with her ultimate move.

Scarface knows what Connor knows, so why is he so determined to break through the formation? Is he acting out of desperation, or does he have a backup plan?

Just as Connor hesitated slightly, Scarface broke through the formation and emerged. Outside the formation, Margaret, who had cast blood magic just like last time, was waiting for him. As soon as Scarface appeared, countless blood mists rushed towards him.

Ignoring the battle between Scarface and Margaret, Connor deactivated the Castia magic circle and focused all his attention on the mine entrance. Connor suddenly remembered something: Scarface hadn't been unprepared for today's events. Before the magic stone bomb exploded, the ten slaves Scarface had used were clearly quite capable, but just now, only Scarface came out of the tunnel; none of his ten slaves had shown up!

Surrounded by Margaret's blood mist, Scarface, unaware of Connor's actions, felt the blood mist corroding his body. A strange smile appeared on his face. He took a deep breath, as if summoning something, and let out a strange long howl!

As the long howl appeared, Connor, whose mental energy was probing the mine, immediately discovered that deep within the mine tunnels, five humanoid monsters with blood-red eyes were rushing toward the mine entrance at an extremely fast speed. They were described as humanoid monsters because although they had a form similar to humans, their faces were ashen, they had fangs, and their fingernails and toenails were extremely sharp. Their speed was unbelievable.

"Living corpses!" Connor said with a very ugly expression. He really didn't expect that Scarface would actually bring out such a thing. Fortunately, according to his mental observation, the ten living corpses that Scarface prepared should have been reduced to only five by his magic stone bomb. Moreover, the remaining five living corpses all looked to have been seriously injured by the explosion.

"Margaret, you focus on this scarred man, I'll handle these zombies!" Before the five zombies could reach him, Connor shouted at Margaret, reassuring her as she struggled to unleash her blood mist spell.

"roar!"

These undead, driven by Scarface, were incredibly fast. They burst out of the mine entrance in just a few breaths, but as soon as they showed themselves, they were trapped in the Castilian magic circle by Connor, who was poised to strike.

"Bang...bang...bang!"

Within the magic circle, ten black warriors immediately engaged in battle with the five living corpses. Although they had the advantage in numbers, the living corpses were clearly stronger than the black warriors, and even when fighting two against one, they still maintained a firm upper hand!

Standing outside the magic circle, Connor frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss. He had initially thought that the ten slaves Scarface was using some kind of possession magic, but he never expected them to be living corpses!

What is a living corpse?

The living dead are extremely bizarre and brutal creatures. Their creation methods are extremely complex and cruel. There are various methods for creating living dead, but they generally involve cruelly disemboweling a person while they are still alive and implanting various materials into their body.

Connor knew of a method for creating zombies: using the flesh and blood of living people as a culture medium to cultivate worms within their bodies. In short, zombies created in this way have no emotions and no sense of pain. They would fight like machines, driven by humans, until the very last moment. And because they have no soul, the mental magic of Connor, a mental wizard, would have little effect on them.

Judging from their performance in the battle with the Black Knights within the magic circle, the undead brought by Scarface were clearly no ordinary creatures. Not only were they physically powerful, but the magic circle also exerted minimal pressure on them. If it weren't for the Black Knights' numerical advantage within the magic circle, and Connor's blessing that allowed them to quickly revive and regenerate after being killed, these undead would have wiped out the Black Knights!

"Where the hell did he find these monsters?!" Connor thought bitterly, standing outside the magic circle. In the blood mist beside him, he could clearly hear the sounds of battle coming from inside. Obviously, Margaret was engaged in a fierce battle with Scarface. Judging from the current momentum, Margaret might have a slight advantage, but overall, she and Scarface were still in a stalemate. Margaret needed to quickly deal with these undead so that they could take down Scarface together!
