Wizard Earl

Chapter 414 Encounter Battle

"Not good!" Connor cried out inwardly, feeling as if he had been locked onto by someone's mental power. Before he could think any further, his black magic robe automatically generated a black defensive barrier, enveloping Connor completely.

The moment the defensive barrier appeared, a dark purple blade wheel struck it without warning.

The blade wheel collided with the barrier, but surprisingly, no sound was produced. Connor, inside the barrier, looked at the blade wheel that had already slashed halfway into the barrier above his head. He quickly took out the Castilian Staff from his spatial ring while thanking himself for his decisiveness!

After becoming a high-level wizard apprentice, Connor's cultivation level increased significantly, and his alchemy skills also improved. He then enhanced the black magic robe he was wearing, turning its defensive spells into a defensive barrier. This casual move unexpectedly came in handy today!

Connor immediately realized something was wrong when he discovered that the black-robed wizard had been in his sight one second and had disappeared the next. He knew that the other party had also discovered his location. Before Connor could step forward, the mysterious black-robed wizard used his mental power to lock onto Connor and launched an attack first.

Fortunately, Connor reacted quickly and remained very calm. He knew that in such a critical moment, it would be too late to take out the Castia Staff from his spatial ring and cast a protective barrier. So he decisively activated the barrier on his black magic robe.

The Black Magic Robe is a top-tier Tier 1 enchanted item, capable of shattering its defensive barrier with a single strike. This Blade Wheel is undoubtedly a Tier 2 enchanted item. If Connor hesitates or reacts even slightly slower, the Blade Wheel would strike him. While the Black Magic Robe would protect him, he wouldn't die, but he would certainly be severely injured!

"Thump!"

Within the barrier, Connor lightly tapped the ground with his Castia staff, instantly piercing the dark purple blade wheel that had been blocking the black magic robe. The blade wheel was sent flying. Then, with a thought, the barrier formed by the black magic robe instantly retracted. Feeling the wounds on the robe, Connor felt a little annoyed. The damage he had taken from blocking the blade wheel would take at least several months to recover.

"Trying to run...?" Sensing the silence of the woods, as if nothing had happened, Connor, his mental energy covering the entire grove, sneered. He unleashed a mental shockwave towards the left side of the grove. Who cares who he is! He thinks he can escape after tricking Connor Ferguson? Not so easy!

To Connor's surprise, after the mental shock was unleashed, although he could feel it hitting the retreating black-robed wizard squarely, the wizard only swayed for a moment before quickly retreating again.

Faced with this situation, Connor narrowed his eyes, realizing that something was wrong. This black-robed wizard was a high-level wizard apprentice just like himself. Judging from the purple blade wheel, a second-tier enchanted item, that he casually wielded, this black-robed wizard was definitely not an ordinary person. There was no reason for him to collapse and run away after exchanging a single blow with him.

Sensing something was amiss, Connor dared not let the black-robed wizard leave easily. A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and while chanting incantations, he placed his right palm towards the black-robed wizard. Instantly, several dark light slashes formed around the fleeing wizard and slashed towards him.

The moment the Yin Demon Slash was formed, the black-robed wizard confirmed Connor's suspicions. His black robe trembled as if space itself had shifted, and the Yin Demon Slash passed through his body, striking each other without causing any harm to the black-robed wizard.

Connor was secretly shocked by the bizarre way the Demon Slash was dodging. However, Connor had never intended to use the Demon Slash to stop the black-robed wizard. He just wanted to use the Demon Slash to buy himself some time.

Just as the black-robed wizard landed on the ground after passing through the Yin Demon Slash, a blue-black hexagonal magic circle rapidly condensed around him. As the Castia Staff was about to complete its formation, something happened to the black-robed wizard: the ground beneath his feet suddenly turned blood red, and the magic circle's formation halted. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the black-robed wizard immediately escaped the Castia Staff's seal and fled into the distance.

However, the black-robed wizard had only fled about ten meters when he heard Connor's complex voice behind him say, "Margaret..."

Upon hearing Connor's voice, the black-robed wizard, knowing he had been recognized, hesitated for a moment before stopping in his tracks. He sighed softly, then turned to face Connor, lowered the hood of his robe, and revealed his true face.

Looking at Margaret's all-too-familiar, captivating face, Connor gave a wry smile, immediately retracted the Castia magic circle he had just released, and then put the Castia staff back into his spatial ring.

Ten minutes later, on a lawn on a small hill behind the Green University campus, Connor and Varga lay on the lawn with wine glasses in hand, gazing up at the blood-red moon hanging high in the sky.

"You used to take classes here?" Margaret took a small sip of her Atlanta gin and asked Connor beside her in a calm voice.

"Yes! I studied history for two years, but after becoming a wizard, I rarely came back to study!" Knowing that Margaret must have investigated this matter, Connor naturally told her the truth.

"This is a very beautiful place..." Margaret said softly.

"Perhaps!" Connor hesitated for a moment before speaking, then downed his Roman Noconti in one gulp and said very seriously to Margaret, "We really should go!"

Ten minutes ago, because of Margaret's blood magic and the initial feeling of familiarity, Connor confirmed the true identity of the black-robed wizard. This also explains why the black-robed wizard "collapsed at the first touch" when he encountered him. Because he took out the Castilian Staff, Margaret immediately recognized him. It seemed that she did not want to meet him under the identity of the black-robed wizard, so she started to run away.
