Wizard Earl

Chapter 380 Assault (6)

While the terrifying energy bullet that had just been fired at him was certainly unsustainable, what made Connor quite wary was that "unsustainable" did not mean that Gulsi's revolver could only fire one shot like the one that had just been fired!

With his innate spell, Shadow Chains, shattered and suffering a backlash, Connor felt he had already sustained considerable injuries. If Gulsi's revolver could fire a second, a third... attack like the first energy bullet, then Connor would have to consider whether he should rescue Varga first, and then the two of them should work together to deal with the wizard Gulsi!

However, Dr. Gulsi's actions within the magic circle quickly proved that Connor's thoughts were unnecessary. Dr. Gulsi raised his pistol and fired several shots at the Black Knights around him who were frantically attacking the protective barrier around him!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

The gunshot was exactly the same as the one from before, and its appearance also flashed with a dark green light, but this time...

Although the Black Knight, who was hit by the energy bullets, was instantly dispersed into a cloud of black mist, Connor, who was observing the magic circle from outside the magic circle with his mental power, looked much more relaxed. Although the energy bullets fired from the revolver were strong, they were far weaker than the one he had just been hit by!

If this situation occurs, it means that it is very likely that, like the terrifying energy bullet that hit him, Gulsi's revolver can only be fired once, and she cannot fire it again for a short period of time. Otherwise, there would be no reason for her not to kick him while he's down. Connor does not believe that he can withstand such a terrifying energy bullet in his injured state!

With a glint in his eyes, and amplified by the mental power of the silver pendant, Connor unleashed another mental attack on Dr. Gulsi, who was still trapped in the magic circle. This mental attack, amplified by the silver pendant, was far more powerful than the first one. Moreover, and most importantly, Dr. Gulsi was currently located within the Castia magic circle, where her mental power was severely suppressed.

The protective barrier released by the evil god statue, which had been shielding Dr. Gulsi under the suppression of the Castia magic circle, was nearing its end, if not quite. However, this time, subjected to such a powerful mental attack from Connor within the magic circle, the entire protective barrier collapsed instantly.

However, Dr. Gulsi was far too wealthy. Just as the mental shock struck her, the bracelet on her wrist automatically emitted a gentle light. Most of the power of the mental shock was absorbed by the bracelet, with only a small portion borne by Dr. Gulsi herself. Even this small portion of power caused Dr. Gulsi to show a very painful expression on her face.

Connor, standing outside the magic circle, frowned. With a wave of his hand, the Black Warriors within the magic circle, which had been shattered and reassembled by the energy bullets from Dr. Gulsi's revolver, once again surrounded Dr. Gulsi.

The mental impact amplified by the silver pendant increased in power seven or eight times after Connor broke through to become an advanced wizard apprentice. However, this increased power also placed a greater burden on Connor's mental strength. Now an advanced wizard apprentice, Connor could no longer unleash three mental impacts in a row as he had when he was an intermediate wizard apprentice. Furthermore, with the silver pendant amplifying the mental impact, Connor needed a considerable amount of buffer time before he could attack the target again!

Without the protection of the protective barrier formed by the evil god statue, Dr. Gulsi's magical and mental power within the Castia magic circle was increasingly suppressed. A fine layer of sweat could be clearly seen on her forehead. Facing the relentless attacks of the Black Warriors who could pounce out of the black mist at any moment, she used several vines to slow down the Black Warriors while firing energy bullets from her revolver to kill them.

"Bang! Bang!..."

Although the energy bullets could still take down a Black Knight with a single shot, Connor, who was outside the magic circle, could clearly feel that the power of the energy bullets fired from the revolver was gradually decreasing, with each bullet being slightly weaker than the previous one.

Although he felt the scales of victory were gradually tipping in his favor, Connor dared not be careless in the slightest and continued to observe Dr. Gulsi's every move within the magic circle with utmost caution.

This Dr. Gulsi is incredibly wealthy. Throughout the battle, he's given Connor far too many "surprises"—from the crescent-shaped ring that initially trapped Varga, to the eerie statue of the evil god, to the top-tier second-tier enchanted revolver, and finally, the mysterious bracelet that absorbed most of Connor's mental shock. These enchanted items, which other wizards would be lucky to possess even one of, Dr. Gulsi pulls out like cabbages. Who knows what other tricks Dr. Gulsi has up his sleeve to turn the tide?

If Dr. Gulsi weren't a pharmacist who wasn't good at fighting, it would be hard to say who would have the upper hand against Connor with all those treasures.

Sensing that she was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position and that her mana was being consumed more and more, which would put her in great danger if things continued like this, a resolute look finally flashed in Dr. Gulsi's eyes. The next second, she took out a small paper boat from her spatial ring.

"Oh no! Dr. Gulsi is going to run away!" Upon seeing the small paper boat, Connor immediately realized that this was the enchanted item that Varga had mentioned, which could increase Dr. Gulsi's speed and help him escape!

"Gulsi! If you dare run, I'll blow your son Ceballos to smithereens right now!" As an alchemist, Connor's alchemical knowledge immediately allowed him to recognize that the small paper boat Dr. Gulsi had pulled out not only increased his escape speed but also had a certain spatial function. Therefore, while intensifying the attack on Gulsi by the Black Knights within the magic circle, Connor also loudly threatened Dr. Gulsi:

Dr. Gulsi, who was not good at fighting but was cunning, did not seem to care about Connor's threat. She did not even raise her head, firing several shots to destroy the black knights surrounding her in the magic circle, and then casting a spell on the small paper boat she took out!
