Wizard Earl

Chapter 306 The Chase

"Run..." After biting off both arms, the skinny humanoid beast let out its strange, hoarse roar again, shouting towards the fat humanoid beast in another part of the magic circle, which was surrounded and fighting fiercely by ten black warriors:

Upon hearing this voice, Connor, whose face had turned ashen and who was about to unleash his Undead Entanglement technique to end all the suspense, immediately felt a sense of foreboding. Upon closer inspection, sure enough, a surge of energy was emanating from the thin humanoid beast!

"FUCK!" Connor cursed angrily in his heart. At this moment, he didn't care about the fat humanoid beast surrounded by ten black knights. He directly manipulated the staff in his hand to retract the Castia magic circle. Connor's movements were very fast. From the start to the retraction, it only took a second or two. After retracting the Castia magic circle, Connor realized that there was no time to cast a lightness spell on himself. He immediately activated the lightness spell attached to his black magic robe and shot backward without hesitation.

As Connor shot backward, the surging energy fluctuations emanating from the skinny humanoid beast intensified. His originally emaciated body bizarrely swelled, instantly transforming him into a massive, hundreds-of-pounds-weight man. Then, in the next instant, this massive man shrunk dramatically back to a size smaller than his original emaciated form, and then...

"boom!"

The skinny humanoid beast's entire body exploded like a giant bomb, sending a massive shockwave, accompanied by countless spurts of green liquid, sweeping across everything around it!

Feeling the terrifying shockwaves and the highly corrosive liquids rushing towards him from behind, Connor couldn't help but further enhance the already maximized Lightness Technique attached to his black magic robe. Whether it was the shockwaves or the green liquids, Connor Ferguson would be severely injured, if not killed!

"cough!"

A few seconds later, Connor, who had flown hundreds of meters away from the self-destruct attack, finally stopped running. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and a relieved smile appeared on his face. He realized that the skinny humanoid beast knew it couldn't beat him and wanted to use its own life to create a chance for its companions to survive. Having learned its lesson from the self-destruction of the body-refining wizard Scarface in Tunguska City, Connor naturally wouldn't allow itself to be defeated twice. He decisively deactivated the magic circle and started running. Fortunately, this time he was quicker and faster than before. Although he wasn't lucky enough to completely avoid the skinny humanoid beast's self-destruct attack, he only suffered some minor injuries from the shock. He was fine and would recover after a couple of days of rest.

After pausing for a moment, as if remembering something important, Connor suppressed the relieved smile on his face, took out his silver pendant with a serious expression, and with the amplification of his mental power by the silver pendant, Connor released all his mental power and searched a wide area for the traces of that fat humanoid beast!

These two strange creatures had followed him all the way from his house to here. If he hadn't been alert enough to spot them, they might have followed him all the way to the Continassa estate where he and Margaret were meeting. Clearly, these two bastards were after him. Just thinking about how these strange things were lurking in the shadows gave Connor a terrible headache. He had to get rid of them as soon as possible!

He absolutely had to find out what these two humanoid beasts were, why they were targeting him, and whether there was another mastermind behind them. Otherwise, Connor believed he would be unable to eat or sleep properly, feeling as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat!

As a psychic wizard, Connor's mental power was already far superior to that of his peers. With the addition of the silver pendant, which greatly amplified his mental power, Connor's mental power was comparable to that of a high-level wizard apprentice. With such strong mental power, Connor carefully probed and discovered the fat humanoid beast that was running for its life not far in front of it!

"Trying to run away!" A cruel sneer appeared on his face. Without saying a word, Connor cast a Lightness Spell on himself and activated the Rising Spell attached to his black magic robe. With the two Lightness Spells combined, Connor's speed instantly became incredibly fast as he chased after the fat humanoid beast he had locked onto!

"Whoosh...whoosh..."

This fat humanoid beast was incredibly fast at escaping. Even with two lightness spells cast on himself and all his might, Connor couldn't catch up immediately. He could only slowly close the distance between them. Moreover, this fat humanoid beast didn't seem stupid. During his escape, he kept moving around, giving Connor no chance to lock onto him with his mental power and launch a mental attack!

Although the distance between Connor and the fat humanoid beast gradually decreased over time, Connor's expression became increasingly serious. If he couldn't catch up with the fat humanoid beast in three more minutes, he might have to give up on the guy.

Although they were currently in a very secluded rural area of ​​Rune, the commotion caused by the skinny humanoid beast's self-destruction was too great. Connor was certain that the arbitrators from the Imperial Metropolitan Police Department and the Church of Storms should have reacted by now, even if they were slow to react, and started rushing over here!

It would take about twenty minutes to get to this location from either the Metropolitan Police Department or the Storm Church. Connor gave himself three minutes. If he caught up with the fat humanoid beast within three minutes, he would try to finish him off quickly. If he couldn't catch him in three minutes, Connor would have no choice but to give up and start running. After all, even if the fat humanoid beast ran away, Connor could always think of other ways to deal with it. But the Metropolitan Police Department and the Storm Church were a big problem. If he got into a fight with these two groups and his identity was exposed, Connor Ferguson would only have one fate: to be a fugitive!

Just as Connor took out a potion from his spatial ring, intending to use its power to restore his mana and maintain his current speed to continue chasing the fat humanoid beast a few hundred meters ahead of him, which was constantly changing positions to avoid his mental lock, Connor's pupils suddenly contracted. He saw a sharp, blood-red ice blade pierce through the fat humanoid beast's chest.

"Clang!" The fat humanoid beast, its heavy body pierced through the chest by the ice blade, collapsed to the ground with a muffled thud.
