Wizard Earl

Chapter 450 Falling for the Trap!

Looking at the silver bowl that Paredes handed to him, Connor hesitated for a moment, then quickly thought, "Paredes is right in front of me, he can't escape. It's not too late to act after I get the bowl. Otherwise, if I act first, Paredes might be prepared to destroy the bowl in a fight to the death..."

Having made up his mind, Connor narrowed his eyes, carefully observing Paredes' face, while raising his left hand to take the silver bowl from Paredes's hand.

Just as Connor's left hand touched the silver bowl and felt its warm, jade-like texture, he noticed a hint of regret in Paredes's triangular eyes, as well as a slightly smug upturned corner of his mouth. Upon noticing these subtle expressions, Connor immediately thought to himself, "Oh no!" and instinctively tried to pull his hand away from the silver bowl, but it was clearly too late.

Paredes had already thrown the silver bowl at Connor, but the bowl seemed glued to Connor's injury, frantically absorbing his magic. Paredes, who had tricked Connor, glanced reluctantly at the bowl stuck to Connor's hand, then turned and ran without hesitation. Connor, realizing this, quickly tried to release the Abyss Chains to stop Paredes from leaving, but the silver bowl stuck to Connor's hand was now frantically absorbing his magic.

A hint of resentment flickered across Connor's angular face, but to prevent the silver bowl's eerie suction from draining his magic, he had no choice but to abandon the Abyss Chains technique to gather the remaining magic within his body and resist the bowl's absorption of his power.

Although he couldn't cast spells, it didn't mean Connor was helpless. A glint flashed in Connor's eyes, and his right hand, which wasn't stuck to the silver bowl, flipped over, revealing an exquisitely crafted pendant that shone with silver light.

Then, with the terrifying amplification of mental power from the silver pendant, Connor focused his eyes and, with a thought, unleashed a mental attack of all his might at the frantically fleeing Paredes.

"Ah... Ah..."

Under Connor's watchful gaze, Paredes, caught off guard, let out a painful howl and immediately collapsed onto the nearby grass. Before Connor could observe further, he was horrified to discover that the strange silver bowl, which had absorbed a significant amount of his magical power, emitted a clear buzzing sound and then slipped from Connor's left hand. Before Connor could even rejoice at finally getting rid of the strange silver bowl, it rapidly expanded in the air, forming a barrier that trapped Connor within it.

"FUCK! FUCK!"

Upon discovering he was trapped, Connor became extremely agitated, unleashing a string of profanities. However, after venting some of his anger, Connor calmed down.

Connor forced himself to calm down and carefully observed the barrier that had been transformed from the silver bowl. Connor told himself that anger would not help him at this moment; only calmness could help him break free from the barrier.

After spending three minutes carefully examining every corner of the barrier, Connor took a deep breath and mentally commanded the auxiliary chip, "Activate supercomputing mode! Assist me in calculating the energy nodes within the barrier!"

"Beep! In accordance with the will of the subject, supercomputing will be activated in five seconds... Supercomputing activated!" The image of the cool and aloof girl from the auxiliary chip appeared in Connor's mind.

Upon hearing "Supercomputing activated," Connor didn't hesitate and immediately began calculating on the auxiliary chip. He needed to get out of the magic circle as soon as possible. Although Harland Cemetery was usually deserted and hardly anyone came here, the commotion he and Parvares had caused was quite significant. If it attracted people, it would be troublesome!

Calculating the energy nodes of the barrier allows Connor to find its weak points and escape more quickly. However, calculating the energy nodes is a very complex process, and Connor must rely on the power of the auxiliary chip to escape quickly.

Logically speaking, calculation is the strength of the auxiliary chip. Connor can directly command the auxiliary chip to calculate the energy nodes of the barrier. Why would he need to calculate it himself?

The idea was good, but unfortunately, Connor's auxiliary chip's calculations and analyses were based on building simulation models from a large amount of data. Although Connor, who had only recently become an advanced wizard apprentice, had made considerable progress in alchemy and could calculate the location of the energy nodes of the barrier, he still hadn't accumulated enough data to form a simulation model in the auxiliary chip. Therefore, Connor had to calculate the energy nodes of the barrier himself. Fortunately, the auxiliary chip had a supercomputing mode that could greatly improve Connor's calculation efficiency and reduce the calculation time.

Two minutes later, Connor looked at the result he had calculated, and a relaxed look finally appeared on his lips. According to his calculations, the Abyss Chains reappeared in Connor's palm and struck the barrier repeatedly.

"Whoosh...whoosh..."

The barrier, which was not presided over by anyone, collapsed immediately after Connor repeatedly destroyed its energy nodes, making the sound of shattering glass!

The shattered barrier solidified again, forming the silver bowl that Connor had initially seen. However, this time the silver bowl no longer possessed the power it had when it frantically absorbed Connor's magic. It fell to the ground like scrap metal with a clang.

Ignoring the silver bowl that had fallen to the ground, Connor's gaze swept over the grass where Paredes, who had just been struck by his mental attack, lay sprawled. This guy dared to trick him! Connor was completely enraged and determined to make Paredes pay a bloody price.

Looking at the grass where Paredes should have been lying, barely alive, there was no sign of him. Only crimson blood and fragments of internal organs remained. Connor's heart sank at this sight, and he immediately unleashed his full mental power, searching for Paredes.
