Wizard Earl

Chapter 250 Margaret's Encounter!

Upon opening the door and entering the room, the bronze-masked man wielding a sharp blade was immediately taken aback when he saw Ceballos sprawled on the ground.

Just as the bronze-masked man was somewhat stunned, Margaret, who was hiding in the room, suddenly sprang into action. Countless thin, blood-red threads shot towards the newcomer. With Margaret's mental power, she could sense that although this person was wearing a mask, he was clearly a mid-level wizard apprentice, just like her. The room was only so big, and with the mental strength of a mid-level wizard apprentice, it was impossible for him to hide no matter how hard he tried. Rather than that, she might as well strike first!

Faced with Margaret's sudden sneak attack, the bronze-masked man reacted very quickly, slashing fiercely at the blood trail coming towards him with the short sword that was flashing with a ghostly blue light!

Without a sound, as the dagger struck, the blood threads that Margaret had created were severed and fell to the ground. The moment they touched the ground, the blood threads spontaneously combusted, corroding a large hole in the room's ornate tiles.

Margaret was quite surprised that her sneak attack was blocked so easily, but this also made her realize that the short sword in the bronze-masked man's hand, which could flash with a ghostly blue light, was definitely not an ordinary item.

The unsuccessful sneak attack also exposed Margaret's location. However, to Margaret's surprise, the first thing the bronze-masked man did upon discovering her was not to attack, but to take out a bottle of dark green potion from his spatial ring and drink it!

Before Margaret could attack the bronze-masked man again, he quickly drank the dark green potion. Then Margaret noticed that the mysterious bronze-masked man who had drunk the crimson rose had invisible dark green flames appear on his body, and his aura increased by almost double!

A solemn look appeared in Margaret's eyes. She dared not be careless and immediately drew the crimson cross sword that Connor had modified for her from her spatial ring. At this moment, the bronze-masked man had already launched an attack on Margaret. With a thought, a dark green cage suddenly appeared around Margaret, trying to imprison her inside.

Upon noticing the appearance of the dark green cage with her mental power, Margaret's eyes flashed with anger. She swung her crimson cross sword repeatedly, and countless crimson light slashes rushed towards the dark green cage. Incredibly, the green cage seemed to be extremely vulnerable. As soon as it came into contact with these crimson light slashes, it turned into various fragments!

Seeing the dark green cage shattered by her crimson light slash, Margaret's eyes showed no joy. Instead, they were filled with wariness and vigilance. According to her mental probing, the dark green cage should not have been able to withstand her cross-shaped sword slash, but it shouldn't have collapsed so easily. There must be something wrong with it!

Margaret's guess was right. The dark green cages that had just been shattered into pieces by the light were immediately transformed into a dark green mist that enveloped Margaret, accompanied by the short incantation of the bronze-masked man.

"A woman?" A thought arose in Margaret's mind. Although the bronze-masked man's incantation was very short, Margaret could still clearly hear that the bronze-masked man's voice was a woman's voice. However, before Margaret could think about it, she found that several green vines suddenly rushed out from the dark green mist around her and quickly wrapped around her arms, neck, and ankles.

Feeling the green vines clinging to her body frantically devouring her magical power, Margaret showed no panic. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and a strange dark red light suddenly appeared on her body. The moment the green vines that had been wrapped around Margaret came into contact with this dark red light, they immediately withered and fell off Margaret, turning into ashes and vanishing into nothingness.

Having freed herself from the green vines, Margaret lightly stomped her foot. Instantly, countless dark red blood streaks shot out from the center of her towards the outer edge of the dark green mist surrounding her.

"snort"

Three breaths later, a high-pitched, muffled groan from a woman rang out, further reinforcing Margaret's suspicion that the person in the bronze mask was a woman.

Seeing that she had injured the bronze-masked figure, Margaret was overjoyed and immediately tried to use her cross-shaped sword to cleave a path through the dark green mist surrounding her to escape. However, she had only just begun to channel her energy when she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, and her magic began to slip out of her control…

"The fog is poisonous!"

The thought crossed Margaret's mind. While being wary of the bronze-masked man who might suddenly appear from the mist, she took out a bottle of antidote from her spatial ring and drank it.

After Margaret drank the antidote and felt somewhat relieved, she suddenly noticed that the dark green mist surrounding her was slowly dissipating, and the bronze-masked man was no longer in the house. Only she and Ceballos, who was lying on the ground, remained in the house, along with the traces of a battle.

The strange appearance and departure of the bronze-masked man left even the experienced Margaret completely baffled. However, with this situation, she had already exposed her whereabouts, and searching the entire hospital building would be too risky!

Margaret glanced at Ceballos, who was slumped on the ground, a hint of regret in her eyes. If it weren't for the appearance of that bronze-masked man, she would have finished the interrogation by now. But even though she knew Ceballos was problematic, she had no choice but to leave. Otherwise, if she had stayed any longer, she might have perished here herself. After all, this place could very well be an important hideout of the secret society, and it wouldn't be surprising if a high-level wizard apprentice or even a full-fledged wizard appeared here.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Margaret did not choose to silence Ceballos. Instead, she silently jumped out of the room window and disappeared into the dark night. Just one minute after Margaret disappeared, a petite figure entered the room. This person was none other than Varga!
