Wizard Earl

Chapter 228 Living Corpse (2)

At this moment, Scarface's situation was deteriorating rapidly within the blood mist, and a hint of anxiety appeared in his fierce eyes.

In the cold and cruel wizarding world, Scarface's ability to rise step by step to the position of senior wizard apprentice clearly shows that he is not a fool. On the contrary, Scarface is a very, very shrewd and cunning wizard.

From the moment he was severely injured by the magic stone bomb, although Scarface said he wanted Connor and Margaret to die, he actually knew that the tide had turned and the situation was reversed. His best outcome today was to live without paying too much of a price and leave this place!

Scarface had gone to great lengths to prepare these ten undead in order to find the magic stone mine today and successfully kill Margaret and Connor. However, to his dismay, these undead, originally intended to kill, were now only used to escape.

Scarface's every action now is aimed at escaping! His plan was brilliant: to draw Connor and Margaret's attention, then have his undead attack, and he could escape in the chaos. The plan was perfect, but reality is harsh. He never imagined that Connor had already seen through his plan. Connor had trapped the undead in his Castilian magic circle beforehand, and Scarface is still desperately waiting for the undead to appear.

The blood magic Margaret cast had caused Scarface considerable trouble even when he was at his peak. Now, heavily injured, he was even less able to hold on. Every second he endured in the blood mist, he felt his blood becoming increasingly out of his control.

Just as Connor was racking his brains trying to figure out how to quickly get rid of the undead trapped in the Castia magic circle, Scarface, who was trapped in the blood mist, finally lost all patience. He gritted his teeth and began to chant a spell in a low voice!

Seeing Scarface begin chanting the incantation, Margaret, who was casting the Blood Mist, immediately felt a pang of anxiety. Although the Blood Mist she was casting was incredibly powerful and bizarre, it was also subject to many limitations due to her current cultivation level. Not only did she need to prepare for a period of time without being disturbed, but because of her limited cultivation, she couldn't cast the Blood Mist for very long. Since Connor couldn't quickly deal with the undead trapped in the magic circle, she could only grit her teeth and desperately continue casting the Blood Mist to trap Scarface inside.

Scarface was still a high-level wizarding apprentice after all. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and a centipede doesn't die easily. If he really used some life-saving methods, Margaret felt she would have a hard time handling it!

Margaret's worries were unnecessary. After Scarface finished chanting the incantation, there was no change in the blood mist. Unlike Margaret's close call, Connor was immediately surprised to find that the five undead he had trapped in the Castia magic circle suddenly became extremely violent, and blood was flowing from their two blood-red eyes!

"roar!"

Just as Connor made up his mind to enter the magic circle and personally engage the undead in close combat, the five undead immediately let out a mournful cry in unison!

In the next instant, the five zombies exploded like five flesh bombs within Connor's Castia magic circle. The Castia magic circle immediately crumbled and was destroyed. Not only that, the terrifying shockwave from the explosion spread outwards!

Connor reacted quickly. Just as he was about to enter the magic circle, he heard the wailing of the zombies and realized something was wrong. He immediately released the defensive barrier of the Castia Staff to protect himself. The huge shockwave from the explosion broke through the Castia Magic Circle and hit Connor first. However, because of the defensive barrier, Connor was only knocked back more than ten meters and suffered some minor injuries.

"Cough cough cough..."

Coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, Connor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a bitter smile. Looking at the dim Castilian Staff in his hand, a bitter yet relieved smile appeared on Connor's face.

The defensive barrier had not been able to completely withstand the impact of the zombie's self-destruction. After absorbing most of the power, it was also broken by the shockwave. With the defensive barrier broken and the magic circle broken just now, these successive blows severely damaged the Castia Staff, a level-two enchanted item that Connor had carefully crafted.

Even so, Connor was still very fortunate. If he had been just a little slower in releasing the Castia Staff's defensive barrier, he would be in serious trouble now, not just coughing up blood. No matter how good the Castia Staff is, it is still just a magical item. As long as Connor is still alive, even if it is only severely damaged or completely destroyed, he can still recreate it once, and then a second or third time!

The shockwave from the zombie's self-destruction was huge, but Connor blocked the vast majority of it, so Margaret, who was standing nearby, wasn't seriously affected. Therefore, Scarface's plan to use the zombie's self-destruction to escape in the chaos while trapped in the blood mist completely failed.

Sensing the negligible effect of the zombie's self-destruction on the blood mist surrounding him, a look of terror once again appeared on the scarred face within the mist. For the first time, he felt death so close...

Connor took out a bottle of recovery potion that Varga had made for him from his spatial ring and swallowed it directly, quickly recovering from his injuries. Then he rushed into the blood mist controlled by Margaret. Feeling Connor's rush in, Margaret, whose face was as pale as paper, finally breathed a sigh of relief and consciously manipulated the blood mist away from Connor.

Charging into the blood mist, Connor located his target, Scarface, in just one second. Scarface was no longer the composed senior wizard apprentice he once was; his entire body was covered in corroded blood, and even the scar on his face was barely visible. Only the green runes on his body were barely resisting the blood mist's corrosive effects. However, judging from the situation, Scarface wouldn't last much longer!

Seeing Scarface's miserable state, Connor sneered. Then, his gaze swept over the spatial ring on Scarface's hand, and a greedy look flashed in his eyes. In the next instant, under the amplification of the silver pendant, Connor unleashed three mental shocks at Scarface with all his might!
