Wizard Earl

Chapter 361 Annihilation

"Get back there...!"

With a roar, Connor unleashed a powerful surge of energy, channeling it all into the Castia Staff. As this energy flowed into the staff, the Castia Magic Circle, which had been riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse due to the energy turbulence caused by Langley, was immediately strengthened and stabilized.

Not only that, the crimson undead within the magic circle, after the Castia magic circle was strengthened as a whole, was also freed from the influence of the energy turbulence. Filled with resentment and killing intent, it reappeared on the white sphere of light where Langley was located within the magic circle.

Feeling the changes within the magic circle, Langley's expression was extremely grim. If the sudden appearance of the crimson undead hadn't made him feel threatened, he wouldn't have been forced to prematurely release his carefully prepared attack to break the formation. If he had been given a few more seconds, the power of these energy turbulences would have been at least twice as strong... If that were the case, how could things be like this now?

In the current situation, this little psychic wizard who suddenly appeared has gradually stabilized the magic circle. With his current strength, it is difficult for him to cause any more trouble. Epstein is definitely doomed, but he has put a lot of effort into cultivating the psychic seed he planted in Epstein, and he will not give it up unless absolutely necessary.

"I'll remember you!" Just as the crimson undead, under Connor's control, began to entwine around the white sphere of light, Lenglet, who was possessing Epstein within the white sphere, suddenly spoke venomously to the black mist permeating the magic circle;

Connor, who was outside the magic circle and was fully controlling it, immediately changed his expression when he heard Lenglet say that. He realized something was wrong; this guy was going to run away!

As Connor's guess was absolutely correct. No sooner had he finished speaking than Lenglet, who was possessing Epstein, controlled Epstein's hand and struck him on the head. Epstein, having taken the blow himself, collapsed limply into the magic circle. Meanwhile, a white beam of light the size of a fingernail flew out of Epstein's head, flashed, and broke through the thick black mist within the magic circle, reaching its edge.

A strange, cold smile appeared on Connor's lips. He did not stop the white light from moving. Without Connor's intervention, the white light broke through the barrier of the Castia magic circle and appeared outside the circle. However, as soon as the white light appeared, before it could flash away again, a mental shock struck it once more!

"I'm going to kill..."

A furious voice rang out from within the white light, but before he could finish speaking, he was instantly obliterated by Connor's mental attack.

Meanwhile, in a quiet room of a secluded manor in Loen, the masked man Langley, still dressed in a gray trench coat and shimmering with white light, was meditating with his eyes closed when, without warning, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura became extremely weak.

"Skull and Bones, and this psychic wizard, I'll kill you all, kill you all..." The next second, Langley's furious and venomous shouts erupted from the quiet room.

About ten minutes later, having calmed down from the rage of having his soul seed destroyed, Langley wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took out a purple crystal bead from his spatial ring, and coldly said, "You win! I agree to cooperate with you!"

Ten seconds after Langley finished speaking, a woman's soft laughter came from the purple crystal bead, and after the laughter subsided, the woman's leisurely voice came from the crystal bead again: "Lord Langley, you have made a very wise decision..."

"So that's how it is..."

In the safe house on the outskirts of the countryside, Connor removed his hand from Epstein's head. Amplified by the silver pendant, he used a mental shock to destroy the Lenglet's mental seed. After erasing the traces of his battle, Connor returned here.

Before he fled, Longley's soul seed had already shattered Epstein's soul to prevent it from falling into the hands of Connor, a psychic wizard, and thus exposing church secrets through soul searching. However, he still underestimated Connor's methods and the wonder of the advanced meditation technique "Abyss Arcane" that Connor had cultivated.

Faced with Epstein's shattered soul, Connor was fortunate that Lenglet had destroyed Epstein's soul within the Castile Circle. While Epstein's soul was inevitably fragmented, it didn't completely dissipate within the Castile Circle, which Connor controlled. Furthermore, the existence of the Soul Reaper allowed Connor to still extract what he wanted to know from these fragments, even if it was disorganized and extremely chaotic—it was enough!

When facing the demonized knight, in order to buy time to activate the soul seed that Lenglet had planted in him so that he could summon Lenglet to possess him, Epstein once told the demonized knight that he had been a member of the Black Organization at the headquarters of the Church of Storms.

Connor had doubts about this after Epstein was possessed by Lenglet, but after using Mind Control on Epstein, Connor confirmed it from Epstein's fragmented memories. Before coming to Loen, Epstein had worked for the Black Organization for ten years and had recently conducted a lot of investigations into the Secret Society, and had a deep understanding of the Secret Society. This was also an important reason why he followed Lenglet to Loen.

Based on the information obtained from Epstein, Connor can confirm the following points: First, the Turin Academy mentioned by Epstein does exist, and it is a very mysterious wizarding institution known to few. Many formal wizards in the wizarding world of Byzantium have studied and lived there. Most importantly, the Turin Academy does not distinguish between black and white wizards. As long as you pass the entrance exam, pay the tuition fees, and abide by the rules and regulations of the Turin Academy, you can study there!
