Wizard Earl

Chapter 378 Assault (4)

Although he didn't look at the evidence Gulsi had given him, considering Varga's past actions, Connor had begun to harbor a slight suspicion about her again. However, on the surface, he maintained an ambiguous attitude.

"Heh heh heh, Connor, I originally thought you were someone special, growing from a mere junior wizard apprentice to a senior wizard apprentice in just a few years! But now it seems you're just a fool, your mind bewitched by that vixen Varga!" Seeing that she couldn't make Connor waver in his feelings for Varga, Dr. Gulsi finally gave up on her plan to sow discord between Connor and Varga and began to reveal her true colors. When she mentioned Varga's name, a look of resentment and malice clearly appeared on her much older face.

"Teacher, your words really hurt me..."

Before Dr. Gulsi's voice had completely faded from the villa, a soft female voice came from outside the door.

The petite Varga, dressed in a long robe, walked into the villa with a smile and stood in front of Connor and Dr. Gulsi.

"Sorry I'm a little late!" Varga said apologetically in a low voice as she walked to Connor's side.

"Not late! You've arrived just in time!" Connor said gently, looking at Varga who had appeared in the villa. Varga's planned appearance greatly increased his confidence in the success of tonight's plan. The reason he hadn't immediately attacked Gulsi was, to some extent, because he was waiting for Varga's arrival.

Dr. Gulsi was no ordinary person either. Seeing the real culprit who had harmed her own son appear before her, being all lovey-dovey with Connor, she miraculously suppressed her anger, and her eyes regained their rationality and calmness.

"Valga, so you finally have the guts to face me? Turns out you brought your lover along. Do you really think you and he together can take me down?" Dr. Gulsi said sarcastically, pointing at Connor.

Before Varga could speak, Gulsi spoke up again, saying, "Varga, you are exceptionally talented and ambitious, wanting to take my position. I can understand that, but don't you think you're being a little too hasty and ruthless?"

This time, before Varga could speak, Connor stepped forward. His ever-present smile vanished, and he pointed at Ceballos beside Gulsi, saying, "Dr. Gulsi, further words are pointless. Now that you're back, you naturally value your son highly. I made your son Ceballos swallow a metal bomb I crafted—I can blow him to smithereens anytime I want. But as long as you don't leave this villa today, I can guarantee I won't trigger the detonation!"

"Connor, I don't care whether you believe what I just told you or not, but you must remember those words..." Ignoring Connor's threat, Dr. Gulsi instructed Connor again, but before she could finish her sentence, a crescent-shaped ring on her finger flashed with light. The next instant, the villa floor beneath Varga's feet seemed to turn into a swamp, trying to trap Varga in it, while countless withered vines sprouted out, trying to drag Varga into the swamp.

Seeing that Instructor Gulsi had made the first move, Connor's expression changed, and he intended to rescue Varga first. However, before he could make a move, Varga shouted at Connor, "Don't worry about me, I can handle it myself. Take care of Instructor Gulsi first!"

Upon hearing Varga's words, Connor hesitated slightly, but still followed Varga's decision, focusing his attention on Dr. Gulsi and launching a mental attack. However, exactly as Connor expected, a strange smile appeared on Dr. Gulsi's lips, and the pendant on her necklace emitted energy fluctuations belonging to a second-tier defensive enchanted item, directly blocking Connor's mental attack.

The mental impact was blocked, which Connor, who was mentally prepared, wasn't surprised. However, when he stared intently at Dr. Gulsi's neck and clearly saw the second-tier defensive enchanted item there, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "A statue of an evil god!"

It was a small statue with four eyes, seven arms, and two heads, one male and one female. The entire statue was covered with a dark green luster, and as long as you stared at it, you would feel a chilling sense of terror!

Although Connor had previously suspected that Dr. Gulsi possessed a second-tier defensive enchanted item, he never expected that Gulsi's second-tier defensive enchanted item would actually be a legendary evil god statue. Evil god statues are said to be items used by evil gods to absorb the power of human faith, possessing magical abilities. If they fall into the hands of a wizard, after some modifications, they can also become enchanted items used by wizards.

However, because there have been so many evil gods in the wizarding world, and the abilities and strengths of each evil god are different, the statues of different evil gods also have different abilities.

Connor's gaze fell on Dr. Gulsi, and his face turned very ugly. It seemed that the ability of Dr. Gulsi's evil god statue was defensive. However, evil god statues were very sinister because they were associated with evil gods. They should not be taken lightly!

Connor, focused entirely on Dr. Gulsi, failed to notice that right behind him, Varga, seemingly still struggling with the swamp beneath her feet, glanced at the evil god statue hanging around Dr. Gulsi's neck, a barely perceptible hint of mockery flashing in her eyes…

"Thump!"

Castilla's staff slammed heavily onto the villa's floor, and under Connor's spell, a dark blue magic circle rapidly condensed beneath Dr. Gulsi's feet.

Dr. Gulsi, who had summoned the Evil God Statue, thought she was invincible with its power. Upon finding herself trapped in Connor's array, she immediately tried to activate the Evil God Statue to counter Connor's Castilian array. However, her idea was nothing but wishful thinking. Her Evil God Statue could only protect her, but it could not contend with the power of Connor's array. The Castilian array that had formed beneath her feet quickly solidified, trapping her inside.
