Wizard Earl

Chapter 304 Humanity as a Beast

Aside from body-refining wizards, knights are arguably the best at utilizing their bodies in this world. And among knights, Connor, whose physical attributes are nearly identical to those of a Grand Knight, has even greater authority to speak on this matter. As far as he knows, above knights are Grand Knights, and regarding Grand Knights, whether within his own Ferguson family in Frosinone or in Loen, Connor has seen at least a dozen, close to twenty. While the number of Grand Knights varies in strength, Connor is certain that even the strongest among them are far slower than the two tails following him…

While Connor was still struggling with the eerie speed of the two tails following behind him, he made a new discovery about them: their eyes. At first glance, their eyes seemed no different from ordinary people's, but upon closer observation, Connor discovered something chilling: the eyes of these two tails, one fat and one thin, lacked any human expression; they were always cold and indifferent. Judging from their eyes, these two tails couldn't be called human; wild beasts seemed more fitting.

Just as Connor was about to continue observing the two men, the fat man and the thin man, perhaps feeling that their position was well concealed enough to silently eliminate Connor, or perhaps having discovered Connor's spying on them, whatever their reason, made their move!

Although Connor was prepared to fight these two strange individuals, he was still taken aback by their method of attack. Unlike ordinary wizards who fight by using spells or manipulating magical objects to attack each other, these two seemed to be using their own bodies as weapons, charging straight at Connor!

"Bang"

The two men, one fat and one thin, slammed into the defensive barrier created by the Connor Castia Staff like cannonballs, producing a heavy thud!

The defensive barrier withstood the opponent's sneak attack. Connor dared not be careless and, without the slightest hesitation, fully activated the amplification of his mental power by the silver pendant, directly unleashing his most skilled mental shock at the two guys!

"Roar! ... Awooo!"

However, the two men's subsequent reaction completely surprised Connor. After being subjected to Connor's full-force mental attack, the two men let out painful howls, like wild beasts. At the same time, their already eerily emotionless eyes suddenly turned a deep blood red, and streams of bloody tears slid down their cheeks...

These two people in front of me—no! They can no longer be called human, nor do they seem like beasts. After all, no matter how bizarre their appearance is, they still retain a human appearance. Perhaps "humanoid beast" would be a more accurate description of their current state!

The sight before him made even Connor, who had weathered countless storms, gasp in shock. What the hell were these monsters? Based on his knowledge, Connor was certain that these two humanoid beasts were not wizards; they were more like monsters in human skin!

Just as he was thinking rapidly, the two humanoid beasts seemed to have recovered from Connor's mental shock and started moving again. They used their fists as weapons to frantically smash the defensive barrier protecting Connor.

"Clang! Clang!..."

Under the frenzied attacks of these two humanoid beasts, the entire defensive barrier clanged and swayed, its light dimming like a small boat in a stormy night. Pulled back to reality by this situation, Connor could only abandon his thoughts and, amplified by the mental power of the silver pendant, unleash another mental shock. However, the mental shock that had just caused them to howl in agony seemed to have no effect on the two humanoid beasts now, only producing contorted expressions of pain and ferocity on their faces, and an even more frenzied attack on the protective barrier!

Seeing that the mental shock had lost its effect, Connor was astonished. However, he had no choice but to try again to see if the mental shock had lost its effect on the two beasts. At this point, his protective barrier was already on the verge of collapse. If he continued to release the mental shock, he would probably have to use his own body to block the terrifying fists of the two humanoid beasts that were powerful enough to smash through his protective barrier before the mental shock was even finished!

"Thump!"

He slammed the Castilian Staff into the ground, and under Connor's control, a hexagonal magic circle of dark blue light instantly formed around the staff, sealing Connor and the two humanoid beasts inside!

As soon as the Castia Staff materialized, Connor concealed himself within the thick fog of the magic circle, mobilizing the entire circle's power to suppress the two humanoid beasts from all sides. Upon discovering they were trapped within the Castia Magic Circle, the two beasts, one fat and one thin, did not become more ferocious as Connor had expected. Instead, they stood back-to-back in perfect unison, their cold eyes scanning the dense black fog around them, seemingly searching for their target—Connor himself.

Hidden within the black mist of the magic circle, Connor saw that these two humanoid beasts didn't seem as irrational as he had thought. A cold smile appeared on his lips, and with a thought, ten black warriors wielding swords suddenly emerged from the black mist and charged towards the two humanoid beasts!

Although the two humanoid beasts were completely suppressed by the Castilian magic circle set up by Connor, they were not at a disadvantage in the face of ten emotionless, painless killing machines like the Black Knight, who only knew how to kill. When the two of them punched the Black Knight, a large hole appeared in his body.

Connor was not surprised at all as he watched the two humanoid beasts gradually gain the upper hand in their battle with the Black Knight. He never expected that the black wizards in the Castia magic circle could help him defeat his powerful enemies. The Black Knight's value was to wear down his opponent's magic and energy. When his opponent was exhausted, that would be the time for Connor to reap his life!
